The Sorrows of Short Legs

"Tsk!"

This thing can strike with lightning, and they can also support each other.

Their offense is lacking, but their defense is more than enough...

It seems impossible to break through directly.

We need to leverage external resources...

For example, an explosion?

He flew with the force of the explosion and punched the old woman in the face!

I think I can withstand the power I just felt.

Kiana also very unhappy.

You suddenly appeared out of nowhere and wanted to beat me up, and you even wanted me to call you "sister"?

You stinky old fox who only knows how to act cute!

Take this punch!

"It's time." Bai looked at Kiana, whose attention had been completely drawn to the Yae Miko.

"Little (one, two, little two)... Little Qiling, assist that fox in suppressing that white-haired Qi female martial arts god, and don't cause her any harm."

For some reason, Liu Bai felt that Yae Miko might be in trouble.

The seven Death Weavers nodded slightly in agreement, and then seven "giant spiders" leaped down from the rooftop.

"Xiao Ba, take me away."

The remaining Death Weavers let out a hoarse, indistinct cheer, and then the petite Honkai zombie picked Liu Bai up in a princess carry.

"Go, jump east."

Following Liu Bai's command, the four mechanical spider legs exerted force simultaneously, leaping high into the air towards the distant landing point.

In this strategy, Rita cannot be let go, but Theresa can.

In other words, without using their trump cards, their own people could beat Theresa, but they might not be able to stop her.

Okay, to put it bluntly, the reason they didn't let Rita over is because Rita is bad...

The Death Weavers's leap speed was extremely fast; in just five minutes, Liu Bai intercepted the advancing Undying Blade team.

"Good evening, Rita. Are you going out for a late-night snack?"

Liu Bai climbed down from the Death Weavers's embrace and greeted Rita.

"... What a coincidence, Liu Bai, we've met again."

Rita's lips began to twitch.

Well, in some ways, this is the worst possible outcome for her?

The gun barrels that the team members had raised in response to the sight of the Honkai zombie all went down after seeing Liu Bai.

Well, after all, I got a beating yesterday but was healed and ended up being perfectly fine.

It's a bit strange to be grateful to the person who beat you up, but the fact that they managed to kill them all without killing a single one is something to be thankful for.

"Hmm, Liu Bai, would you like to join us for a late-night snack?"

Rita naturally saw Liu Bai as well.

Sure enough, it was Liu Bai stirring things up over there.

Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Sorrow of Short Legs

"Would Liu Bai like to have a drink with me?"

Rita extended an invitation to Liu Bai in a calm and unhurried manner.

She realized that Liu Bai's appearance here was most likely to block her way, and he was accompanied by a modified Honkai zombie she had never seen before.

It was Liu Bai who did it; otherwise, they would have started fighting right away.

But Rita wants to be stopped?

Of course not!

If we get stopped again, wouldn't that be like losing again?

Then what I need to do is very simple—face off Liu Bai as king, and have my own teammates face off as checkmates.

Fighting is out of the question; we haven't seen Acheron yet, but Liu Bai has the Serenitea Pot hanging from his waist...

"Liu Bai, are you going to refuse the lady's invitation?" Rita continued to press Liu Bai, who did not answer.

"Hmm..."

Liu Bai didn't expect Rita to choose to strike so quickly, and now he felt like he had brought trouble upon himself.

"In that case, let's all go together, it's on me."

If it's really about going out for a late-night snack, Liu Bai naturally has no objection, but... don't even think about letting your team members run away.

"I beat everyone up for no reason yesterday, so I'll consider this my apology."

If I just stall for twenty minutes, the other side will have already resolved the issue.

"..." The members of the Undying Blade team were speechless.

They felt as if they had been drawn into some kind of competition again.

It's obvious that they're about to go on a mission!

How did it turn into eating late-night snacks again?

However, although the members of the Undying Blade are young, they are not greenhorns. They have also noticed something about Liu Bai and the Honkai Source.

So, are they conducting some kind of experiment over there?

The West Suburbs are indeed the least populated area in the Sky Dome Zone, with a large area consisting of wasteland and ruins.

It's not unacceptable to conduct experiments there.

Moreover, the disruption of the experiment could easily escalate the conflict and lead to an escalation of the situation—in the past, they would never have cared about such things. They would have simply said that they were the world's top-tier elite force of the Undying Blade, like crabs, walking sideways.

But... well, right now, standing in their way is Liu Bai.

If things escalate, when we reach the Acheron, everyone will have to cosplay as caterpillars on the ground.

If anything were to happen to Liu Bai, they might have to cosplay as dead caterpillars...

Although they were willing to fight if it really came down to it, they were relieved that it didn't.

Besides, Liu Bai doesn't seem like a bad guy.

"Then... Vice Captain, shall we go together?" The members of the Undying Blade decided to back down a bit.

Rita: "..."

Well, Rita didn't expect her teammates to be so cowardly now.

Is the strategy of "I hold people back while you go check the situation" really that sophisticated?

Liu Bai smiled upon hearing what the Undying Blade team members said.

"There's nothing seriously wrong over there. It's you who will cause trouble if you go there."

"Your statement is certainly quite intriguing."

Rita's tone carried a hint of sarcasm.

How come I never realized you were such a troublemaker?

However, things had already come to this point, and since their own people had no will to fight, and Liu Bai had given his guarantee, Rita could only nod in agreement, even though she was somewhat unconvinced.

As for whether something really happened over there, it's not too late to check again tomorrow.

"Please be prepared for severe bleeding."

"Of course, Xiao Ba, you can go straight home."

By the time Xiao Ba gets back, it will be almost over there, so it's better to let her go back to Shencheng Pharmaceuticals directly.

The Death Weavers shook its body playfully, but ultimately succumbed to Liu Bai's serious expression.

The mechanical limbs exerted force, propelling it directly forward.

"Hmm..."

(This Honkai zombie...)

Rita had been focused on Liu Bai, and only now did she realize that the modified Honkai zombie's performance was terrifyingly strong.

"Seriously, you all ran?"

Liu Bai examined the Undying Blade before him.

"You don't actually think your car can be faster than ours, do you?" Rita's words left Liu Bai speechless.

Well, it seems that unless you really speed up, you're not as fast as these Valkyries.

"However, we do have transport ships, but they are too conspicuous."

Rita added.

"Also, Liu Bai, have you chosen a restaurant yet?"

"... You scared me! What a reckless brat."

On the other side, Yae Miko looked on in a cold sweat as Kiana was pinned to the ground by the Death Weavers' mechanical legs.

Just now, Kiana almost hit her in the face with the force of the thunder explosion.

That brat is really daring.

"What are these things?!"

Kiana struggled there, unwilling to give up.

However, Kiana, whose strength was almost completely exhausted, was unable to break free from the control of the Death Weavers.

"Alright, alright, stop wasting your energy." Chong Yae Miko breathed a sigh of relief and looked to the other side. "Looks like your period has started too."

Boom--!

As the giant cross crashed to the ground, the little nun leaped down from the air and stood at the very top of the cross.

"Yae Miko? What did you do to Kiana?"

They were all acquaintances.

"As you can see, it's a kidnapping~" Chong Yae Miko spread his hands with a smile, but he was already nervous inside.

Theresa's fighting prowess is far superior to Kiana's.

And she... actually doesn't have much experience in high-level matches.

In other words, he's used to a life of ease and comfort. He's fine at low-level games, but Yae Miko's a bit uneasy at high-level games.

Especially that big cross, if I were hit by it... I'd be smashed into a little dwarf like Theresa, right?

"... I felt inexplicably angry."

Theresa frowned.

"Fine, as long as I take you and... these modified Honkai zombie down, that should be enough, right?"

Whose family owns these modified Honkai zombie?

It doesn't seem like Inazuma's. Could it be Anti-Entropy?

Forget it, I'm not going to shop anymore.

Pure white chains sprouted from the cross and wrapped around Theresa's wrists. Then Theresa jumped to the ground and swung the heavy cross over her head like a yo-yo.

As Theresa moved, a hurricane-like gust of wind, slightly stinging to the face, rose up around them.

"... Hey, is that how you use that thing? Isn't it supposed to be stuck in the ground and fire a light spear?"
