They had to stop before even reaching the airspace above Mount Li.
On the mountain, hundreds of colossal figures had all turned in unison, raising their weapons towards them!
Fang Er was utterly perplexed.
What were these things trying to do?
"You all wait here, I'll go take a look!"
"I'm going with you, old lady!"
Xi Tong declared, and then, piloting her gold-mining ship, she charged ahead.
This left Fang Er speechless. He could only hasten to follow.
Zhang Tian, Xue Rengui, and the others exchanged bewildered glances.
This woman… seemed a bit wild?
So beautiful, yet referring to herself as "old lady" was so jarringly out of character…
Fang Er quickly caught up to Xi Tong, but Xi Tong, who had just rushed ahead, was no longer in a hurry, following along leisurely.
"Tong Jie, can we speed it up a bit!"
"From what I know, men who complain about women being slow are usually quick shots…"
"What, have you gone soft recently?"
Xi Tong turned her head and smiled at him meaningfully.
Fang Er: …
Forget it.
This woman was never serious!
"If we dawdle any longer, they'll start firing!"
Xi Tong seemed to relish this feeling of putting Fang Er in his place. She raised a hand to tuck away a strand of hair blown loose by the wind and said, touching her conscience.
"With me here, there's nothing to fear!"
"Come on, let's fire one first!"
Fang Er was stunned.
Damn it!
I shouldn't have brought this tigress out!
But in the next second, Xi Tong's actions made him realize he had been tricked.
He saw her pull out an RPG anti-tank rocket launcher and aim it at Mount Li, then pull the trigger.
"Whoosh…"
The rocket, trailing flames, flew directly towards Mount Li.
"Boom!"
Flames erupted on one of the colossal figures, knocking it to the ground.
"Roar…"
"Roar…"
The other colossal figures were enraged, charging out of Mount Li in a rampage and heading towards Fang Er and Xi Tong.
"Husband… they!"
Xi Tong casually tossed the rocket launcher back into her storage and threw Fang Er a flirtatious glance.
"Can we be normal for once, and not act so cutesy?"
Fang Er was covered in goosebumps by her address!
"Alright, you rascal, they said they want to kill me…"
"So, do you want to wear this green hat?"
Fang Er: …
Kill me? Did she mean it like that?
No!
"You can understand their language?"
"No, but I can sense what they're thinking!"
After saying this, Xi Tong glared at him with disappointment.
"Rascal!"
"When will you become more ambitious! Do you only use your divine sense to peep at young girls?"
Divine sense…
Alright, it was just brainwaves.
Fang Er admitted he didn't have a habit of using it!
He'd only used it more when interacting with orcas during his time wrecking the Japanese islands.
After returning, he'd barely used it again.
With Xi Tong's words serving as a reminder, he immediately released his divine sense.
One hundred meters.
Two hundred meters.
Three hundred meters!
That was his previous record, but now it still wasn't his limit!
Four hundred fifty meters!
An area spanning nearly a mile was now within his divine sense's coverage!
The feedback information sketched a 3D stereoscopic image in his mind.
No matter how small the movement, nothing within this range could escape his perception.
"Kill these ants!"
"Half-beast warrior, let your souls roar!"
"Kill them!"
"Charge with me!"
"Kill!"
The sound of hundreds of colossal figures running was like that of a thousand troops.
Mount Li was densely forested, and they charged down, crashing through everything.
Loose stones and wood chips flew everywhere, like a passing storm.
And Fang Er, who understood their communication through his divine sense, was utterly bewildered.
Half-beasts?
What was going on?
But there was no time for him to think, as the half-beasts had already arrived.
The armor on their bodies began to change rapidly.
Machine guns and missile launchers extended from their shoulders, elbows, and other parts.
Black muzzles were aimed at Xi Tong and Fang Er.
"Kill them!"
"Fire!"
A deep voice boomed from within one of the half-beasts' armor.
The other half-beasts simultaneously attacked Fang Er.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh…"
"Da da da…"
A barrage of missiles was incoming, mixed with machine-gun fire.
Fang Er's heart leaped into his throat.
"Tong Jie, retreat!"
But Xi Tong gave a cold laugh.
"Retreat? Hell no, let's beat them up!"
As she spoke, she rapidly ascended and then unleashed a string of B-2s, dropping them onto the heads of the half-beasts.
Fang Er: …
Damn, I was just worried about her!
I forgot, this woman is a complete maniac!
If that's the case, then let's fight!
He followed suit, adopting the same method to attack the half-beasts.
In an instant, B-2s rained down!
Aircraft worth over two billion were lost by this wasteful pair in less than a minute, hundreds of them!
The scene was like the Monkey King shaking off lice in Journey to the West!
The half-beasts below were stunned!
"Oh my god!"
"Are they the Eagle Clan?"
"They can lay eggs too!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Hundreds of B-2s landed and exploded in succession, and then, in a very short time, detonated their internal missiles.
Flames soared into the sky, and the surroundings shook violently.
The half-beasts, before they could even comprehend what had happened, were engulfed in smoke.
Xi Tong flew to Fang Er's side and provocatively showed him her middle finger.
"With just these paltry few, how dare you suggest retreating?"
Fang Er: …
Damn it, wasn't I just worried about you?!
At such close proximity, their minds were almost connected.
Xi Tong glared at him with disdain.
"Someone like you, I can take on ten!"
"Worrying about me, you should worry about yourself first!"
"You have a body full of martial prowess, but you don't know how to utilize it at all!"
"Useless! How did I end up stuck with a piece of trash like you!"
Fang Er almost coughed up blood from her retort.
"Wasteful woman! It's not like you begging for mercy earlier, is it!"
"You've only got any backbone in bed! Once you're out of bed, you're nothing, pfft!"
Xi Tong threw this sentence out and then, piloting her gold-mining ship, descended.
Fang Er's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
But he had to admit, he was demoralized!
It seemed he had never really considered how to fully develop his combat capabilities.
Despite possessing a major cheat, he couldn't utilize it well.
From this perspective alone, Xi Tong's words were not excessive at all.
