Chapter 7: Do you really think I'm weak?

  Actually, what Emily is really worried about isn't Aruba's abnormalities, which can be known from his adventure experiences from Aruba. There are many demons that can achieve the goal of controlling human spirits in various strange ways. For example, Aruba once said that he saw a demon with an octopus-like head but a human body, called Soul Sucker, in the cave of Utaha.

  The eyes of the soul-sucking monster emit a strange red light, and once humans gaze into them, they are drawn in and controlled by the monster, forced to harm their own companions. It is said that Aruba had to personally kill two young people who were under its control at the time.

  "That doesn't make sense." Emily gazed around her, as if searching for something out of the ordinary.

  "Where's the problem?" Kurur said, looking at Emily: "Even if these earth spirits form such a formation, we can have three hundred people. Even against the last group of giants, we have a chance to win."

  "That's why it can't be explained, they..." Emily wanted to say something more, but Mo Yan's loud shout interrupted her explanation.

  "Are you the reinforcements invited by the monkeys?" Mo Yan grinned and said something that only he understood.

  "Who is a monkey?" For Mo Yan's inexplicable words, Sa Er was somewhat perplexed.

  "Alright, alright." Mo Yan said, leading Aruba out of the path that the Earth Spirit Formation had given up: "You guys don't know Old Guo at all, so you naturally can't understand this phrase. You brought so many people to my turf, what's going on?"

  "I think since you're a cow-headed person who can speak human language, you shouldn't have forgotten that you kidnapped my brother. Moreover, he's standing right next to you."

  At such a close distance, hearing a Minotaur speak in the human language caused various discussions or exclamations of surprise to erupt among the Sart warriors, who had never seen a Minotaur communicate with humans before.

  "Kidnapping? Me?" Mo Yan seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke and exclaimed loudly: "No, I've never kidnapped anyone. In fact, I even saved Aruba's life. Right?"

  "Yes." Aruba nodded and said, this was what he and Mo Yan had discussed. In order to negotiate better and reduce the resistance, they would not mention the previous misunderstanding again. Aruba would acknowledge that Mo Yan had saved him, rather than attacking him.

  "Although I wanted to believe my brother's words, the Kuru who got lost in the forest for half a month didn't tell us that." Emily stepped aside and let out a somewhat haggard-looking Kuru, who had apparently been living a difficult life after getting lost in the forest for half a month.

  "If it wasn't for searching for Aruba at that time, he just happened to bump into him who was fighting with a group of dark shadows. Maybe, he would have become the monster's lunch." Sal said, staring at Aruba with a guilty face.

  "I'm sorry, Kururu," Aruba said with some embarrassment. "I forgot that you... uh... don't remember the way very well, and I can't leave here."

  "It doesn't look like he's being controlled." Saul whispered to Emily, "People who are being controlled don't have such clear thoughts, they're mostly like lunatics."

  "Maybe it's just a technique we've never seen before." Ruk looked at Aruba, who was apologizing in a low voice and responded: "Even if something strange happened, I don't believe that Aruba would stand on the side of a Minotaur and cover for him."

  "If we rush over now, how many percent sure are we that we can kill that monster that speaks human language?" Emily thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "I think something is not quite right."

  "If your arrow can disturb that monster, I have an 80% chance of hanging the monster's cow head in Aruba's room as a specimen." Luke said, unbuttoning his raincoat.

  "It seems they don't believe us at all." Mo Yan looked at the Sault warriors who quietly took off their raincoats and began to prepare for battle, and whispered to Aruba: "Why do you think this is? I've already shown enough goodwill."

  "They must have thought I was being controlled." Aruba said with a wry smile: "There are quite a few demons that have the ability to control human minds, and for people like that, we usually just kill them directly."

  "Wow." Mo Yan whistled and said, "Indeed, it's a decisive kill."

  Mo Yan made a gesture towards No. 1 and started pulling Aruba back slowly.

  "He's going to run!" Emily shouted, raising her hand and shooting the crossbow bolt at Moyan. The bolt flew out of the crossbow, cutting through the falling raindrops, carrying a huge kinetic energy towards Moyan. All the Sault warriors, gripping their weapons tightly, charged towards the earthworm phalanx with a roar, stirring up a bloody rain.

  "Indeed a rose with thorns." Mo Yan casually grabbed a nearby earth spirit, blocking the arrow shot by Emily. Looking at the crossbow bolt that broke out from the earth spirit's body with blood and water, finally exhausting its energy and stopping in front of him, Mo Yan decided that if he had the chance, he would definitely get some of these crossbows.

  At this time, behind the phalanx, a goblin blew the horn in his hand, and the sound of the horn was reflected by the cave wall and amplified several times. On the rock wall above the cave, many goblins appeared, and in a burst of shouting, several huge boulders were pushed down from the rock wall, rolling with rainwater and rushing towards the Sault warriors.

  "Is that so!" Emily shouted as she gazed at the boulder tumbling down: "Everyone get away from the boulder!"

  The huge boulders were indeed lethal, but the slope of the cave where Mo Yan was located wasn't very steep, so the acceleration of the boulders was slow, giving everyone enough time to dodge these clumsy stones.

  "Ah!" However, the boulder was just a decoy. All of the Saltean warriors who dodged to either side of the boulder discovered that the solid ground beneath their feet suddenly gave way and turned into a massive pit, sending them tumbling in. Those warriors who had not yet fallen into the pit watched in horror as it rapidly approached. The boulder, which had crushed many goblins who were unable to dodge in time and was now covered in blood, also inevitably fell into the pit, which was so deep that even a ladder would be useless for climbing out.

  After the boulders had passed, there were only a handful of Saulte warriors left on the ground. They were the powerful warriors who could avoid the rolling boulders without having to jump into the dug pits.

  "Who would have thought that your sister could also dodge it?" Mo Yan said, looking at the Salter warrior who was panting slightly due to dodging the giant boulder: "These four people are quite capable."

  "To be honest, since I was a kid chasing after Emily, I've never caught her once." Aruba said with relief as he looked around and saw that most of the people had jumped into the pit without getting hurt.

  "Next, if you still don't talk reasonably, I'll have to knock down your sister and the others." Mo Yan looked at Ruk and the others who were holding their weapons and slowly approaching him, saying: "By the way, if we really fight, whose side will you be on?"

  "If you promise not to harm Emily and the others, I can lend a hand," Aruba said. "After all, they were the ones who made the first move. However, your earth spirits have all escaped."

  Mo Yan looked around and indeed, except for those who had already turned into minced meat, not a single living goblin was in sight. Even the most loyal No. 1 was nowhere to be found. The massive boulder that hadn't hit any of the Sart warriors had turned nearly half of the goblins into jam, while others either jumped into the pit or were chopped into pieces by the Sart warriors. In the eyes of the goblins, Mo Yan was probably done for.

  "It doesn't matter, wait a minute, I'll go outside and take a walk around, I can find three or four hundred earthworms." Mo Yan said indifferently with a shrug.

  "Surrender, monster!" Emily shouted, holding up her crossbow and aiming at Moyan. Meanwhile, Luke, Sar and Kuru held their weapons, surrounding Moyan and Aruba in the middle to prevent him from escaping.

  "Surrender? Why?" Mo Yan looked at Emily in surprise and said: "I haven't done anything bad, have I... Okay, that time when I stole from the village was my fault, but I didn't hurt anyone, did I? Why do we have to fight? We can coexist, my brother and I have already talked it over."

  "Coexist with monsters?" Emily repeated Mo Yan's words, saying viciously: "Evil monsters must die, you're not the first and won't be the last! War God Ares..."

  Emily only felt a blackness in front of her eyes, looking at Mo Yan who suddenly rushed to her face, blocking her entire line of sight. The words she was about to say were difficult to swallow back into her mouth, while Ruke and others didn't know when they had already fallen to the ground... Hmph, would the crossed-over Mo Yan be as weak as an ordinary cow-headed person?

  He's taken down quite a few guys who came to eat beef! Including some tough ones! A toast to the powerful Ox Head Man! Also seeking recommendations, seeking collections...
