Absolute Destiny Game-Chapter 427 - 43: Playing the Game, It’s All About Acting

"Brother, I can’t hold on anymore, you should run."

"I won’t leave, If we leave, we leave together!"

"Don’t be foolish, you must survive and avenge me later!"

"Shut up, we brothers have been through life and death for so many years, how can I leave you behind today, hurry up, let’s fight our way out!"

Right now, by the banks of Zhuoyu River, a scene of life and death separation was unfolding as Xiao Jie and "I Want to Be Immortal" faced the encirclement of Fish Spirits, the fight seeming extraordinarily ’difficult’, stubbornly battling the fish spirits for three to five minutes with no winner yet.

Actually, it wasn’t hard to kill these little monsters, but what was tricky was making the battle seem like back and forth and still show that they were at a disadvantage, which was a real test of both skill and acting.

Fortunately, Xiao Jie’s skills were powerful and "I Want to Be Immortal’s" acting was spot on. One wielded the Willow Leaf Blade wildly while the other swung the Battle Axe chopping haphazardly, looking fierce, yet most of their attacks missed, making them look like two weak human Martial Artists.

Only occasionally ’super-level performances’ allowed them to kill one or two Fish Spirits.

After struggling for a long time and finally chopping down most of the little monsters, Xiao Jie was thinking to himself while chopping, why hasn’t this boss shown up yet? If it doesn’t come out soon, I can’t keep this act up.

The fighting itself wasn’t hard, but they were almost out of lines.

By this time, only the last two little monsters remained, and they dared not strike too hard, just playfully fighting, avoiding disengaging from combat.

While fighting, they continued reciting their lines.

"Brother, I’ll cover the rear, you go first!"

"No, big brother, I’ll cover the rear—you leave first."

"My Qinggong is better, you go ahead. I’ll naturally catch up later."

"No, big brother, my armor is thicker, I can take a few more hits, you withdraw first, I must ensure your safety today."

"Second brother, stop arguing with your big brother, how can I, being the older one, let you put yourself in danger?"

"Big brother!"

"Second brother!"

"Big brother!"

"Second brother!"

The remaining two Fish Spirits, their scalps tingling from listening, looked at the corpses of their companions scattered around and glanced back at the unprotected forest behind the men, feeling something was quite amiss.

However, due to their monstrous instincts, they kept launching attacks, but the brothers dodged easily.

Finally, one Carp Spirit remembered something.

"Quick, go find the King!"

Another Grass Carp Spirit also reacted, probably influenced by the performance of the two men, desperately defending against their attacks, "You go find the King, I’ll cover the rear!"

That Carp Spirit didn’t hesitate, turned around, and dove into the water.

Xiao Jie and "I Want to Be Immortal" sighed in relief—finally they got it.

The Grass Carp Spirit, furious, cursed—this guy didn’t show the slightest consideration after all, and it was strange, despite the two humans’ axes and blades slashing, they couldn’t breach its defense.

Could it be that the King had taught it Sorcery, making it stronger? A flicker of excitement sparked in the Grass Carp Spirit’s mind.

Boom! Suddenly, water surged from the lake, and within the swirling vortex, a Golden Armored Fishman over three meters tall appeared.

This monster was bulky with round eyes and several whiskers on its chin.

Its upper body was broad and fat, yet it had human legs with a huge fish tail hanging behind, making it look bizarre, and it held a golden Steel Fork as a weapon.

Li Jinlin (Carp Spirit): Level 22 Boss-level Boss. Life Value: 2200.

That Carp Spirit followed him.

"King, these two humans, they killed many of our brothers!"

Then, the surrounding lake churned as Fish Spirits, some wielding steel forks and spears, some half-human and half-fish, monstrously shaped, began to surface.

One by one, fish heads popped out. Because they couldn’t stand on the water’s surface, their lower bodies were hidden in the water, looking comically naïve, the entire lake filling with fish heads as if they were surfacing for air.

Seeing the boss appeared, the two men acted immediately.

"Damn, facing such a vicious demon, let’s withdraw quickly."

"That’s right, big brother, you withdraw, I’ll cover the rear!"

"Second brother!"

"Big brother!"

"Enough!" shouted Li Jinlin, waving his fork, "What are you waiting for, my minions, kill them, I want to feast on their flesh!"

Those Fish Spirits in the lake surged toward the shore.

Xiao Jie and "I Want to Be Immortal" wrestled with that last Grass Carp Spirit, foreseeing that they would soon be surrounded, urgently fighting while retreating.

With so many little monsters, if they were really surrounded, it could get dangerous. Fortunately, the Fish Spirits moved slowly on land, and the brothers stayed on the outer circle, not using secret techniques or Big Moves, merely relying on Normal Combat Skills.

Using their speed advantage, they managed to hold their own for the time being.

Li Jinlin, however, watched in annoyance, "How can you dawdle so much, haven’t you caught just two humans yet?"

"Big brother, these two humans are fiercely skilled, quite formidable."

"Hmph, a bunch of worthless creatures!" But Li Jinlin, who had been observing closely, realized that these two human Martial Artists, relying solely on their quick legs and desperation, were just ordinary.

Still hesitating whether to join the battle on shore,

Xiao Jie suddenly laughed loudly, "Hahaha, a bunch of Fish Spirits daring to mess with your grandpa, simply seeking death."

"I Want to Be Immortal" also laughed heartily, "Exactly, chopping these few punks is just like playing, I say we should just kill all these Fish Spirits and Fish Monsters, maybe we could sell their meat for some Silver Coins."

Li Jinlin, never having suffered such an insult, grumbled at the audacity of these mere two human Martial Artists.
