"Wah——!"
The monsters spread out their limbs and glided through the forest. Like flying squirrels, they rushed to Wei Xun, emitting a shrill cry. Suddenly, a soft, familiar, and strange female voice resounded in Wei Xun's mind.

"Little Xun, come, come to mom."
He remembered that this was his mother's voice. This voice accompanied Wei Xun through the few happy childhood memories that he had. 9YXdOA
"Little Xun, don't be afraid. Come to mom."
His mother seemed to open her hands and smile lovingly, waiting for Wei Xun to jump into her arms.
But what had waited for her was a stab from Wei Xun, using the tour guide's flag!
The round-headed flagpole pierced her chest. His mother howled as if she had been injured by a sharp knife. Her face was full of inconceivable sadness as tears slowly slid down.

At the sight of this, even for people with a heart of stone, they might hesitantly decide to be merciful. However, Wei Xun, instead, smiled as he jabbed down harder.
"Don't worry, Mom."
Wei Xun said softly, "I'm not afraid."
The flagpole pierced through the monster's entirety. Within moments, the "mother's" skin was peeled off, revealing the red flesh and blood inside. She turned from a human into a monster, similar to a skinned baby. Such a sudden change in appearance might cause someone an awful scare. Wei Xun's pupils shrank slightly, but it was not because of fear. Q1jPtr
It was because of excitement!
Whoosh!
Another monster took the opportunity to pounce on Wei Xun, biting his right hand, which was holding the flag pole, with sharp teeth, and using its bite to pierce through his hand. Black blood was flowing out——its teeth were poisonous!
But Wei Xun was neither panicked nor felt flustered as he swapped the flagpole from his right to his left hand. The flagpole cut through the rain and struck the monster fiercely, disregarding the monster's tusks and its flesh and blood that was still hanging on its body! The monster wailed bitterly. Yet, the deafening sound turned into a calm and stern male voice in Wei Xun's ears. f5 q91
"Little Xun, hurting yourself is something only the weak would do."
It was his brother's voice. When Wei Xun was a child, he secretly tried to hurt himself to feel pain. His brother gave him a severe scolding. He was similar to Wei Xun in appearance, but he was older and sterner. The man held out his hand.
"Come, give me the blade."
Wei Xun swung his "sword", and gave it a hard blow. Then, seeing that 'brother' had been skinned and turned into a monster, Wei Xun became even happier and even laughed: Q1UDSb
"Look, brother, I have become stronger now."
The tour guide flag on his left hand seemed to had become more powerful. The monster's tough leather skin was like tender tofu to him. It couldn't resist Wei Xun's attack at all. Miao Fangfei wanted to help, but now she was stunned silly!
Chrysanthemum Garden.
One swing after another, Wei Xun hit the monster mercilessly, squashing it until it became a sticky meat mud. Currently, he was laughing. He was laughing more and more happily, and there was only the monster in his eyes!
"Ha——"
All of this was more exciting than Wei Xun had imagined—monsters with the ability to force someone to conjecture certain illusions, and the tour guide's flag that could rein over the entire tour group. In the tour, he was able to become a powerful person and fight a fierce battle, bathed in blood!
"Wah——"
The monsters that were repeatedly hit by the flagpole had nearly split in two. It howled and tried to flee into the vast forest, but it was pierced by the flagpole thrown over by Wei Xun!
Creak. eDH7zq
After piercing through two monsters with the flagpole, Wei Xun found that the one in the back was still struggling. The one in the front was smashed by Wei Xun as if Wei Xun was using a hammer. Its body had become mushy and become a pool of scarlet sticky meat.
At the end of the fierce battle, Wei Xun was gasping slightly. He recovered from his excited state, though he ended up slightly wanting more of such emotions.
However, when he calmed down, the strong odor, like rotten fish that had been pickled in excrement for half a month, rushed to his face. Wei Xun shivered and sneezed. His face, which showed his smile throughout the battle previously, showed a look of panic.
"Ah choo!" gNnkb5
The sneeze wasn't loud, but it made Shi Tao tremble.
Wei Xun was quite satisfied with the stable "mount" that carried him in the battle just now. He patted Shi Tao on the shoulder comfortingly and, in the passing, rubbed the stinky blood on his hands on Shi Tao.
"Go, kill it."
The monster atop the flagpole was still alive, not dead yet. The silver butterfly brooch had regained its cool. These two monsters were the only ones left on the mountain route. kf gC8
Wei Xun moved his hands like how an old hen would move its arms. He didn't want the blood on his hands to stain his body, and he didn't want to spend more time on this stench-filled battlefield.
Shi Tao's leg went soft, and he almost fell to the ground. His brain was blank, and his ears were still echoing with the crazy and excited laughter of III-9 when he was killing monsters.
Mad, madman III-9, slaughterer III-9——
He mentioned his mother, his brother——did III-9 personally kill his family in reality?! sQi0ud
It was too terrifying, truly too terrifying.
What's so scary about the monsters? Would they be as terrifying as III-9?!
Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com
"Go...and kill her..."
The demonic voice of III-9 reverberated in his ears. DTgNIV
He, who did he want him to kill?
Miao Fangfei?
No, he wouldn't. Didn't III-9 just save Miao Fangfei?
Maybe—— b7FWAB
But III-9 was simply a madman!
Shi Tao was as stiff as a stone. III-9 patted him on the shoulder again——he was urging Shi Tao!
Miao Fangfei, run!
Inside Shi Tao's heart, he was soundlessly shouting. After the terrifying battle just now, he was scared to death by III-9. He knew that he couldn't resist III-9 at all. nJQcKP
Even if III-9 asked him to kill someone now, Shi Tao would simply follow his instructions, just like a vengeful ghost devoured by a tiger who helped the tiger devour others!
Run, Miao Fangfei, run——
Unfortunately, Miao Fangfei couldn't hear the despairing roar at the bottom of Shi Tao's heart. Instead, she pounced onto them. The woman had blood poured all over her shoulders and face. Moments ago, as if she went insane, she took a knife to randomly stab at the monster. Each stab had managed to pierce the vital organs of the monster. This vicious attitude would make anyone looking at the sight feel a chill at the bottom of their hearts.
The knife could not pierce the monster's body, so Miao Fangfei picked up the tour guide's flag that fell to the ground, held it with both hands, and stabbed the monster's head hard! HMPVbg
The little monster twitched and stopped moving at last. Miao Fangfei, who succeeded in adding another stab to kill the monster with the knife, fell to the ground. She gasped and reluctantly got up, holding the tour guide's flag and passing the flagpole to III-9 with both hands.
"Thank you. Thank you for saving me."
Miao Fangfei's voice was hoarse. She was in so much pain that her voice shook, but her tone was very serious.
"My life is now yours." X EitU
Wei Xun noticed that Miao Fangfei's hands were full of scalds. Tourists could not use the tour guide's flag. If they used it forcibly, they would be punished.
The tour guide's flag, which had fallen in the mud and was covered with the monster's flesh and brain, was so dirty that Wei Xun couldn't bear to look directly at it. Wei Xun looked disgusted. Fortunately, he could store the tour guide's flag back on the brooch instead of holding it by himself.

When the tour guide's flag was retrieved, a voice resounded in Wei Xun's mind.

[Beep, you killed the zombified flying fox and obtained the resentment of the zombified flying fox]
A chilly, resentful feeling sank and lingered around Wei Xun, as if it were a substance plastered on him. Wei Xun was perplexed by the Travel Services' decision. Why was Miao Fangfei's killing of a flying fox classified as one of his kills?
Was it because he was the one who injured the flying fox the most, or was it because Miao Fangfei killed the flying fox with the tour guide's flag? A ZV4T
The zombified flying fox was poisonous. Wei Xun looked at his right hand. The place bitten by the flying fox had begun to fester, but Wei Xun merely felt it was slightly itchy there.
Miao Fangfei was trembling with pain, pale, and her face turning green. She looked like she was going to die soon. But, because she had ample experience, she soon swallowed several self-made detoxification pills. Then, she took out glutinous rice from her duffel bag to apply them on herself. The glutinous rice could absorb the zombie poison, but it could not completely remove the poison of the zombified flying fox.
This was a type of special poison. Usually, the poison would be the antidote itself.
Miao Fangfei studied poisons. When III-9 ordered her to dig out the gallbladder of the monster, Miao Fangfei's heart was beating wildly. She knew it was the only medicine that could save her life! 6OA0Mi
When digging out the big black gallbladder the size of a grape, Miao Fangfei's desire for survival almost instinctively overtook her body for a moment, tempting Miao Fangfei to want to take a drop of bile immediately. But——
Under the pressure of surging desire and pain, Miao Fangfei honestly handed the gallbladder to III-9.
In the past, under the threat of death, Miao Fangfei might have taken advantage of III-9 being injured to attack him and seize the gallbladder.
But III-9 saved her. PgG6KY
No matter what his purpose was, Miao Fangfei was still grateful. She owed III-9 a life. Even if III-9 didn't give her a drop of bile, and even if he let her die. Miao Fangfei wouldn't have any complaints about that.
And——

Seeing that III-9's right hand was also bitten and dripping blood, and half of his arm was blackened due to the poisoning. Yet, he was still calmed and unmoved. Miao Fangfei could not help feeling a chill.
Even if she acted, she was afraid she couldn't beat III-9. l 6Ix4
Thus, she decided to be honest.
Wei Xun looked at Miao Fangfei, who was covered with blood all over, and with disgust, he gawked at the gallbladder covered with the fishy scent of blood.
What's this? Did she want him to extract the bile by himself?
"Extract the bile out." 27MtmX
Wei Xun felt no stress as he "enslaved" Miao Fangfei. Anyway, her life was his. It would be fine if he used her to help him in some small matters, right?
Why did she remain immobile?
Shocked and stunned, Miao Fangfei shivered after feeling III-9's gaze and immediately lowered her head to deal with the gallbladder.
Even in extreme shock, Miao Fangfei's movement of extracting bile was still very neat and experienced. And soon, the blackish-green bile fell into a finger-sized bottle. 6hFRBN
Using the biggest willpower to restrain herself, Miao Fangfei handed over an entire bottle of lifesaving bile and gave it all to III-9.
Wei Xun looked at the bile in the small bottle. It was in a hue of an unlucky shade of dark green, and it was luminous. The stench and strong herbal scent intermingled together in the bile, emitting another decadent herring can-like smell, which was almost as suffocating as Snape's magic medicine that was fed to Harry Potter.
No, no, could this bile really detoxify him? The icon on the bottle must be fooling him.
If it wasn't for his right hand that had rotted so much that he would soon see his bones, Wei Xun would never touch such a thing! cSyIP4
"Try a drop of it."
Wei Xun mumbled, struggling one last time. He thought the Travel Services was up to no good. Perhaps the Travel Services wanted to poison him.
Is this bile really drinkable??
He didn't believe it. jFKsk1
But unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Miao Fangfei suddenly raised her head and stared at him with an unbelievable look in her eyes. Her eyes seemed to be shining!
The author has something to say:

Wei Xun: It's probably poisonous. It must be poisonous——Miao Fangfei, try it first.
Miao Fangfei: !! Sob, sob! What did I hear! He told me to detoxify first! Tears are welling in my eyes now! Is such a good tour guide real! l9nd6Z
