Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 1321 - 166: Goodwill Toward Others

"Goo?"

The goat head squeezed out a distorted bubbling sound from its throat, and before it could react, it was like a large bird being choked by the neck, falling to the ground from mid-air.

┬v┬ノ(゜-゜ノ)

Then it received an elbow strike as it wished: /M\~!

"Bang—Pow!"

Amidst an explosion of consecutive firecracker-like sounds, the goat head’s body first deformed slightly, then became covered with tiny cracks invisible to the naked eye, and finally exploded violently along with a surge of air.

Boom!

The ground before us was instantly covered with the scattered filth of blood, and a long deep trench over thrice meters formed sunken into the earth.

Three blue crystals fell down rhythmically, closely linked together.

Two of them contained sixteen threads, while the other had three spiral threads, glittering brilliantly, mysteriously rotating, and emitting a fearsome corrosive aura.

This was unexpectedly a super Great Demon at level 35!

Only 12 levels lower than Xu Shu now!

As the Corpse King, it died too suddenly, a typical "sudden death," so much so it forgot it even had the "Corpse King Needle Scar" ability to counter-attack upon death, thus died cleanly and thoroughly.

"A very powerful guy, but unfortunately, I always excel at fighting beyond my level. Meeting me was just unlucky for him. Here, this is yours."

Xu Shu shook the crystals in front of the four women, casually tossing the least valued one-tier crystal to Chen Shiyun, while keeping the other two expressionlessly in his pocket—since he mainly defeated the Corpse King, the other three women had no contribution, only Xiao Chen, as a healer, provided some auxiliary support, hence the reward.

Xu Shu always conducts himself fairly, never deceitful, naturally not overlooking this due to the other’s lesser strength.

As for the corpse king’s remaining hard-scaled skin, he naturally pocketed it as well.

"..."

"Goo!"

Huang Jun, Yu Qiuling, Su Xiao, and Chen Shiyun stared dumbfounded at Xu Shu, then at the already dissolving Corpse Evil’s flesh fragments in front of him, and finally at the one-tier blue crystal in Chen Shiyun’s hand, involuntarily swallowing their saliva.

What just happened?

Where’s the Corpse King?

Just... got slapped dead like that?

By a "Dragon Elephant"?

Third-tier Corpse King, "Dragon Elephant", killed with one elbow, crystals exploded—several words that shouldn’t have come together forcibly linked by the iron fact, scrambling their minds.

For a moment, they felt like they were living in a dream.

Until Xu Shu found another distant moving cave seemingly about to erupt, promptly shifted his target, and blocked it, making the girls snap back to their senses and hurriedly followed.

"Commander Xu, thank you for saving us."

"Yeah, yeah, your strength is just too formidable! I’ve never seen a warrior like you! At that instant earlier, if it weren’t for you, I really thought I was doomed! You’re not even on the human rankings, and I feel like those rankings aren’t reliable anymore!"

Walking along, boatman and the healer remained silent, seemingly still shaken, while Huang Jun and the seemingly fragile "bandit" Yu Qiuling kept expressing their admiration, especially the latter, chattering incessantly, without sparing words of praise, showing great admiration and respect for Xu Shu.

She appeared weak while speaking ingratiatingly; usual people might enjoy such flattery, feeling elated.

However, Xu Shu just smiled without replying, not until nearing the soon-to-erupt cave, before it "spit out", he glanced at the deceitful Yu Qiuling.

Within just a few hundred meters, she had aided herself to an almost defeated Corrupted Corpse Soldier from another team as it passed outside a cave, tossing it to Su Xiao to kill.

Xu Shu frowned slightly, finally responding to her flattery, implying, "Heh, it’s nothing much. At home you rely on parents, outside on friends; mixing in the world relies not just on strength, but also your judgement and influence! If lack strength yet dare to be petty, not knowing to make friends and broaden connections, heh, trouble’s bound to come."

"..." Su Xiao, about to spear the Corrupted Corpse Soldier, froze instantly.

Such explicit words could hardly be called hints; it neared explicitness, who wouldn’t understand?

He was pointing out their little monster-stealing act!

The other three women’s expressions turned slightly unnatural, the logic made sense but, but... wasn’t something off? What friends while traveling? A slip of tongue, or???

For a moment, the four felt this overwhelmingly powerful figure was hinting at them about more, but couldn’t quite confirm, feeling both anxious and uncertain.

More so Su Xiao, looking at the struggling rotting minion she held down, unsure to spear or not, staying still.

After quite a while, she bit her lip and said, "I-I’m sorry, senior! I shouldn’t have done that." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Xu Shu glanced at her, saying without much expression, "If it wasn’t you, why apologize."

Su Xiao: ?

Yu Qiuling: ???

This time the latter couldn’t hold it in, her pretty face flushed instantly, turning purplish-red like a liver.

"Me? Senior, I actually... I didn’t... I I I... I’m sorry, I won’t dare again, I was just trying to..." Yu Qiuling opened her mouth, stammering but unable to continue.
