Chapter 497 - 242: Shangguan Ruiqi Captured (Part 1)
"Damn it!" Zhu Mengtong’s sword hadn’t yet pierced the monster’s vital point when the blade shattered, naturally infuriating the creature. At this critical moment, her body refused to cooperate, dragging her down! She thought her body would be crushed by the monster’s massive pincers, but the expected pain didn’t come. Instead, a resounding roar of agony from the monster reached her ears...
Upon closer inspection, she saw the monster’s giant pincers nailed to the ground by an exceptionally sharp white blade... To have pierced a monster’s body so easily... This knife is indeed remarkable. Zhu Mengtong thought blandly, when a voice reached her ears, "This knife belongs to my foolish son Huaifeng. You don’t have a weapon right now, so if you don’t mind, you can use it for the time being."
From the voice, Zhu Mengtong had already discerned the person’s identity. She briefly closed her eyes, then stepped forward to pull out "Jun Feng," which was pinning down the monster’s pincers. Unexpectedly, she didn’t know what mineral this knife was forged from, but its weight was frighteningly heavy!
Of course, this weight was only heavy compared to similar weapons. For Zhu Mengtong, it wasn’t much of an issue. She pulled out the knife and, taking advantage of the momentum, stepped onto the monster’s pincers, slashing it. The previously exceptionally hard shell, with defenses strong enough to shatter even a Laser Particle Sword, met this blade and was reduced to something as fragile as tofu, breaking with just a jab!
Watching the monster, now headless, collapse with a thud, Zhu Mengtong was splattered with its blood. Turning back to where the voice had come from, it was empty, as if no one had ever been there. Raising her hand, she glanced at the "Jun Feng" in her hand. It was the only thing that could prove that the words she heard weren’t a hallucination, that the person had truly appeared...
"Mysteriously disappeared for over two months and reappeared..." Zhu Mengtong muttered softly. She had investigated Su Jiameng’s whereabouts two months ago. The other person had vanished inexplicably, with no trace on the entire Qiming Star, as if she had evaporated. There were no relevant records of travel between planets, "Truly an interesting person... just like this knife..."
Those parents who dared to step forward were commendable. Even without weapons in hand, they relied on their determination to protect their children at all costs, using their fists and feet to drag down the endless stream of monsters. Except for the initial surprise that caused a few unfortunate children to die, no child was harmed afterwards, though the parents were gravely injured...
"Damn it, where is Xiao Xin..." Jiang Xin’s dearly missed older brother—Jiang Zhe, was anxiously searching for his younger brother. He was a somewhat irritable young man, appearing in his twenties but actually nearing forty-five, considered an adult working in society.
Though Jiang Zhe couldn’t understand his parents’ decision to have a little brother more than thirty years his junior, as if they thought he was too idle at work and deliberately gave him a baby to care for, having been an only child for many years, Jiang Zhe was fond of this younger brother he had raised and deeply cherished him. He couldn’t imagine how heartbroken he’d be if something happened to his brother!
But the more worried Jiang Zhe was while looking for his brother, the more the monsters wouldn’t let him succeed, persistently coming after him, driving him crazy!
I forgot to mention, after graduating from school, Jiang Zhe chose to become a freelance Mecha Master, always carrying a Mecha Space Hub with combat mecha. After the crisis began, he unceremoniously deployed his mecha, determined to fight his way through to find his brother.
After overcoming numerous obstacles, finally finding his cute brother, he discovered this Little Bear had his hand in his satchel, rummaging for some special cans of fruit, casually saying something that nearly made Jiang Zhe cough blood.
"Look, this is for Xiao Feng, this is for Xiao Yi... According to my brother, these are specialty fruit cans from another planet. That kind of fruit is hard to grow on Qiming Star... Although I’ve always thought these cans aren’t particularly tasty, my brother is just like that, lazily staying at home for days on end, indulging like a true homebody for a whole year... Someone like him, adores things like cans, instant noodles, junk food... His lifestyle is utterly unhealthy..."
Jiang Zhe hadn’t even had time to lament how his brother knew such things when a long-haired boy nonchalantly interjected, "What’s that? Your brother’s pretty decent. My Aunt Su Mo is the real tormentor. She can whip up the healthiest foods with the best cooking skills in the world... yet for some reason, she’s obsessed with papaya..."
