Chapter 215: Chapter 134: Obtaining the Complete Divine Artifact, Facing Off Against a Creature from an Ancient Forbidden Land

The monkeys had also dismantled every hidden mechanism and device in the compound, leaving nothing behind. Aside from a few intact missile launch bases hidden on the outer perimeter, the entire compound had lost all its defenses in an instant, as if it had been raided by bandits.

What surprised Brother Kun even more was that, after all this, he still had no idea who his enemy was. He had only seen endless vines driving a horde of beasts toward him.

Although he didn’t know the reason, seeing the Piglets being protected up ahead and the resulting devastation, Brother Kun knew someone was targeting him. Someone was definitely behind this, looking for trouble!

"Who!"

"Who are you!"

"If you have the guts, come out!"

His face covered in blood, Brother Kun stared at the Piglets being protected by vines and shouted in a rage.

BZZT...

BZZZZT...

Just as Brother Kun was about to shout again, his vision suddenly blurred. Like a virtual reality projection, the figure of a small girl began to materialize before his eyes.

"It’s you!" Brother Kun cried out in shock upon seeing the girlish figure take shape.

He knew this person! This was the S-class girl he had been lucky enough to capture over ten days ago. And then, it was this same girl who had snatched the other parts of the Divine Artifact, the [Scamming Waist Cutter].

He had been preparing to hunt the girl down and seize the rest of the Divine Artifact. Brother Kun never expected that she would come looking for him first.

"You!"

Glancing down at the fragment in his hand, Brother Kun instantly understood the girl’s purpose. He had seen her ability to conjure a virtual figure out of thin air before, but this new power—controlling vines and commanding beasts—was something he was witnessing for the first time.

"Wait! I’ll be your dog!"

Seeing the girl’s gaze sweep over the Divine Artifact fragment in his hand as more vines closed in around him, their tips poised like striking cobras aimed directly at him, Brother Kun shouted out in a panic.

SWISH!

SWISH!

SWISH!

Unfortunately, the girl had no intention of speaking with him. After getting a clear look at the Divine Artifact fragment, she simply nodded. Then, countless vines shot toward Brother Kun like striking cobras.

"You!"

He hadn’t expected the girl to be so decisive. Facing the countless vines piercing toward him, Brother Kun could do nothing. The game abilities he had inherited were all related to swindling; against a physical attack like these vines, he was completely helpless. Moreover, he couldn’t even escape the circle of vines surrounding him.

"I refuse to accept this!"

He looked at the girl’s virtual form while secretly manipulating the remote in his pocket. He had already aimed the missiles from the outer perimeter at this location, intending to take his enemy down with him. He never expected that his enemy wouldn’t even show up in person. It was all done remotely. Even at the very end, what appeared before him was still just a fabricated, virtual projection.

BAM!

Facing the vines that were upon him, all Brother Kun could do was hurl the fragment in his hand as far as he could. Unfortunately, the fragment only made it three meters before it was snatched by a vine.

SQUELCH!

Knowing he couldn’t survive, Brother Kun adjusted the remote in his pocket at the last moment, firing the distant missiles at the special area 100 km away, which contained the Tree People. He hoped to turn his enemies against each other in his final moments, using the missiles to bombard the mysterious area and have the Tree People avenge him.

SWISH!

SWISH!

SWISH!

But what left Brother Kun dumbfounded was what he saw on the surveillance feed as vines pierced his body. The newly launched missiles were impossibly caught by other vines. Humanity’s most advanced missiles were simply wrapped up by enormous vines and held suspended in mid-air. No matter how hard the flames from the missile’s thrusters pushed, they couldn’t advance an inch.

"A small special area?" a man’s voice sounded by his ear. "What’s this? Trying to bombard the special area so the creatures inside will avenge you?"

Before he breathed his last, Brother Kun heard the voice again.

"As you wish!"

Then, he heard the last words he would ever hear. Through the surveillance feed, he saw that after the missile’s propellant burned out, the thick vines swung around forcefully and hurled the missile out at high speed. The target was the special area 100 km away.

"Ah!"

Amidst his cry of alarm, utterly bewildered by his attacker’s actions, Kunsha finally breathed his last. He died with his eyes wide open, unable to rest in peace. He couldn’t understand. They clearly weren’t afraid of the missile striking the special area, yet they went to the trouble of catching it with vines, only to send it on its way in the end. In his final moments, Brother Kun could not rest in peace. This wasn’t just killing; it was psychological torture!

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

Amidst the violent explosions 100 km away, Brother Kun—who had dominated northern Myanmar for decades and had hundreds of lives on his hands—finally met his end.

"Take a look?"

The scene flashed as a golden Celestial Horse descended. A young man waved his hand, commanding a vine to retrieve the last 5% of the [Scamming Waist Cutter], which he then handed to the girl standing beside him.

In the distance, the Piglets, still protected by the vines, recognized that this girl was the one whose virtual image had appeared before Brother Kun earlier.

"What now?" Taking the Divine Artifact fragment from Shen Fei, Number 0 took out her own part and let the two pieces merge. As she did, she pointed toward the special area 100 km away, which looked distinctly different after the missile’s explosion.

"What do you mean, ’what now?’" Shen Fei said without hesitation. "We’re going in! The whole point was to test it out!"

With a wave of his hand, he deployed 100 Defense Towers. Now that he had left Great Xia again, he was no longer on its soil and could once again unleash his attacks without restraint.

His equipment inheritance was complete, and his 100 Defense Towers, attacking in concert, could unleash an Overlimit Attack. The recently deceased Brother Kun had conveniently pointed him in the right direction. So, let the battle begin! Even if problems arose, it wasn’t on Great Xia’s territory anyway. He could go all out.

When he had first arrived in Myanmar and seen through his Detection Towers how the people of Great Xia were being treated like animals in this compound, Shen Fei had been enraged. He had launched his attack without a second thought. Now, the enemy had been swept away like autumn leaves.

He paid no mind to Number 0, who was beside him, joyfully observing the complete Divine Artifact. Shen Fei commanded the vines to rescue the citizens of Great Xia imprisoned in the Water Prisons, pigsties, Earth Cages, and other cells. At the same time, he used his Detection Towers to focus his attention 100 km away.

He had, of course, already seen the special area there. What pleased him was that this special area was quite small, only two to three hundred kilometers long and wide. Although this area was about the size of a small prefecture-level city before the apocalypse, it was minuscule compared to the post-apocalyptic special areas, which often spanned thousands of kilometers. This was the smallest one Shen Fei had ever seen.

He was keen to test his strength against it. After all, following some future version update, most of these special areas and the creatures within them would become enemies. Shen Fei wanted to familiarize himself with them in advance.

Just as I thought!

Through his Detection Towers, Shen Fei saw that the special area had indeed changed drastically after the explosion. His eyes lit up, and he focused all his attention on it.
