Xu Hang looked at the map as he drove. He noticed that there were a few dark green dots following him.
When he accelerated, those dots' speed increased.
When he slowed down, those dots' speed decreased.
The most terrifying thing was that these dots kept a fixed distance from Xu Hang.
Xu Hang had tried to shake them off but was unsuccessful!
Since he was not too far from his destination, Xu Hang decided to ignore them and continued with his mission.
He stepped on the accelerator and sped up to the maximum speed.
The ride became really bumpy.
Xu Hang slowed down again.
He entered a cave and the green dots finally stopped following him.
There was a strong smell of blood. It was almost suffocating.
At the same time, there was also a rotten smell.
Xu Hang tore a huge chunk of his clothes and made them into a few simple masks.
Everyone put them on and they continued to walk deeper and deeper into the cave.
However, the masks did not help much.
They had no choice but to bear with the small.
*Ding! Ding! Ding!*
It was the sound of a pickaxe hitting an ore.
Xu Hang was sure of it because he had heard this sound plenty of times.
Originally, it was a normal sound but in their current situation, it was particularly strange.
Plus, there were the green dots stalkers and the strong stench of blood.
"D*mn, is this a horror film?"
However, with Hill and the others around, Xu Hang had nothing to be afraid of.
They finally reached the source of the sound.
It was one of Xu Hang's farmers.
The farmer's clothes were already tattered. Only the sleeves were hanging from his shoulders.
There was barely any light, but it was enough to reveal the farmer's back. His back was even wider than Hill's.
Suddenly, there was a gust of wind.
Xu Hang finally got a clear look at the farmer. His entire body was dark red and his muscles were clearly exposed.
Furthermore, the bloody stench was from a pile of beasts' corpses.
'Did this farmer actually fend off an army of magical beasts by himself?
'But how?! Even Hill and Shadow would have trouble with so many of them!'
Xu Hang stared at the dark red figure in front of him.
The farmer just continued to mine among the pile of corpses.
Without warning, the farmer turned around! On his dark red face was a smile!
Moreover, his hair was somehow dyed red.
His smile revealed two rows of neat teeth.
He almost looked like a demon king who had just climbed out of hell!
The farmer walked towards them.
Xu Hang could not help but felt a little scared.
If he was not one of his farmers, Xu Hang would have already ordered Hill and Shadow to attack.
"Master, it's me. Don't you recognize me?"
After hearing his voice, Xu Hang realized that he was the farmer previously loaned to Yang Mingyue.
"You still have such a simple and honest smile. By the way, were these magical beasts all killed by you?"
"No, I didn't kill that many. Most of them were already dead."
The farmer replied while still smiling.
It was rather unsettling for a person to say such words so calmly.
"Then, how did these magical beasts die? Suicide? I don't think that's possible."
"I've been mining here since it was your order. Then, a group of puppies came over and started distracting me."
"I didn't want to play with them, so I continued to mine. It was then they began to scratch me, although it wasn't painful at all. When I turned around, most of them were dead."
Xu Hang was speechless.
'It wasn't painful? He barely had any clothes on!'
Xu Hang accessed the system's interface to check on the farmer's data.
What he saw was extremely shocking.
[ Defense: 92]
The average attack power of these magical beasts was only 30-40!
There was no way they could break through his defense!
Xu Hang could imagine him fending all the beasts.
'I guess it makes sense.'
Magical beasts would often target places that had resources. That was how they ended up facing this immovable super meat shield!
The farmer could have easily killed the beasts but since they could not damage him at all, he chose to ignore them and continued his mining mission!
Although the magical beasts could not break through his defense, they were relentless and continued to attack.
More and more beasts gathered and they ended up trampling on each other, which caused their death. Only a few of them managed to survive this "traffic accident".
At the same time, the farmer had enough and simply turned around to kill off the rest.
This was why there were so many corpses on the ground!
Xu Hang was stunned.
Why did he need to put so much effort into resisting the Beast Tide when he had this farmer?
The farmer reminded him of a video game boss that had more defense than attack.
"Why don't I call you Shan Feng from now on?"
Xu Hang felt that this farmer truly deserved a name.
"Alright. Thank you, master. I really like the name."
Shan Feng replied happily.
Xu Hang drove Shan Feng to a riverside so he could wash up. Then, he took out a set of clean clothes and gave them to him.
After cleaning himself up, Shan Feng looked normal again.
Xu Hang was ready to continue his journey.
Before that, he checked the farmers' statistics one more time.
"Yes, they are all awesome! Let's go!"
