Wasn't I Supposed to Carry?

Lin Yan had played at least twenty dungeons, so he had a certain level of skill and awareness. He glanced at An Xinghe and said quietly:

"I'll capture one of them for questioning. Don't make a sound."

With that, Lin Yan leaped straight out of the bushes, and a massive cleaver appeared in his hand!

This was one of his weapons—the Common Grade Nine-Ringed Saber!

The Hunter was startled, but he quickly recovered and dodged with a flash of his body.

The two of them clashed, while An Xinghe could not be bothered to help. He simply watched quietly from the side.

The Hunter was very strong. At first, the two of them were evenly matched, but gradually, Lin Yan began to run out of stamina.

The Hunter seized the opportunity and found Lin Yan's opening. He thrust his dagger toward Lin Yan's throat!

Lin Yan cursed inwardly. There's no way I can dodge this move!

Just then, a huge pair of scissors struck from the side, directly knocking the Hunter's dagger away!

Who else could it be but An Xinghe?

Immediately afterward, he leaped up and kicked the Hunter to the ground!

Lin Yan looked at An Xinghe with his heart pounding. "Th... thank you."

Unexpectedly, An Xinghe pointed at the Hunter on the ground and shouted at Lin Yan:

"Thank me, my ass! Hurry up and finish him off!"

"Oh, oh, oh! I'm on it!"

Lin Yan pulled out a rope and tied up the Hunter. The Hunter wore a stubborn expression:

"Do whatever you want with me!"

Lin Yan coughed twice. "Actually, I don't intend to kill you. I just want to ask you two questions."

"Bah! Get lost! Don't even think about learning a single piece of information from me!"

After taking a barrage of abuse from the Hunter, Lin Yan immediately felt humiliated and threatened him:

"You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! If you don't answer my questions honestly, don't blame me for torturing you!"

The Hunter sneered when he heard that:

"Then come on! You'll never get a single useful word out of me! If I say even one word, I'm no man!"

Enraged, Lin Yan kicked the Hunter in the stomach and sent him flying five meters away.

Yet all he heard was the Hunter mocking him:

"That's all the strength you've got? Go home and drink your mother's milk for a few more years!"

Lin Yan was about to go over and continue beating him when An Xinghe stopped him:

"How about letting me try?"

Lin Yan snorted:

"It won't matter who tries. He simply won't talk!"

An Xinghe walked past Lin Yan toward the Hunter. Before he even reached him, the Hunter said:

"Handsome guy, tell me—what do you want to know? I'll tell you everything."

Lin Yan: "???"

Live Chat.

[Hahaha! I'm dying! Lin Yan couldn't get anything out of him, but before An Xinghe even opened his mouth, the guy was already planning to confess.]

[For fuck's sake! Is this the benefit of being handsome?!]

[An Xinghe's face really works on everyone!]

[Lin Yan's heart must be shattered right now.]

[Hunter: If this handsome guy had come to question me, I would've confessed ages ago!]

[An Xinghe can even use his looks for interrogations? Is there anything a face like that can't solve?!]

Chapter 32: Wasn't I Supposed to Carry?

An Xinghe had not expected the Hunter to be so eager to tell him everything he knew.

I haven't even asked anything yet!

You're making it look like I hired an actor!

An Xinghe coughed twice and asked:

"Do you know where Snow White is?"

"White Blood Princess!" The moment he heard that name, the Hunter shrieked as if someone had stepped on his tail:

"You're looking for White Blood Princess too?! That damned bitch! I'm going to rip out her heart! I'll tear out her intestines!"

Judging by his words, the Hunter clearly knew something about White Blood Princess. An Xinghe hurriedly continued asking:

"Tell me properly about White Blood Princess."

The Hunter's expression was filled with resentment. Gritting his teeth, he said:

"White Blood Princess wasn't originally called White Blood Princess. She was the daughter of our kingdom's king, but she actually became obsessed with Dark Magic!"

"What disgusted people most was that she used her status as a Princess to capture many people and experiment on them with Dark Magic."

"Without exception, all of their blood turned white, and she came to be known as White Blood Princess!"

"Left with no other choice, the king exiled White Blood Princess."

"But that damned bitch escaped to the Dwarf Kingdom and used Dark Magic to become the queen of the Dwarf Kingdom!"

"Then she led the Dwarves in a massive invasion of our kingdom!"

"I'm going to assassinate that bitch this time! I'll cut out her heart and tongue!"

[So White Blood Princess really is that White Blood...]

[This Princess is basically the fairy-tale version of Medea!]

[I'm even more excited to see An Xinghe meet Snow White now.]

[For fuck's sake—from conquering a Princess to conquering a queen. Just thinking about it feels amazing!]

Afterward, when the Hunter learned that An Xinghe was also looking for Snow White—or rather, White Blood Princess—he thoughtfully drew him a map leading to the Dwarf Kingdom.

He even wanted to give An Xinghe his bow and dagger, while hinting that he had an eighteen-year-old daughter...

However, An Xinghe refused.

Because he discovered that the Hunter's weapons were only Common Grade.

Wouldn't that lower the overall quality of my equipment?!

The matter of his daughter could be discussed later.

Lin Yan stood to the side, staring at An Xinghe in bewilderment.

Wasn't I supposed to carry? How did this turn into An Xinghe's stage instead?!

Maybe An Xinghe was simply good at communicating.

Lin Yan consoled himself. After all, he was a Level 17 powerhouse! How could he be inferior to a Level 8 rookie?

Following the map given by the Hunter, the two of them arrived outside the gates of the Dwarf Kingdom.

Compared to the seven dwarfs in the original story, the Dwarf Kingdom was heavily guarded, with every citizen serving as a soldier. There were patrols both on and outside the city walls.

An Xinghe could not simply go up and say, "We're here to kill your king. Take me to Snow White."

No matter how handsome he was, they would definitely stab him to death.

The only option now was to outsmart them.

Lin Yan observed the Dwarves' patrol routes and said to An Xinghe:

"I'll lure these Dwarf soldiers away in a moment. Take the opportunity to sneak into the city, and then we'll surround them from both sides..."

Before Lin Yan could finish, An Xinghe pulled a round grenade from his pocket. Lin Yan asked in confusion:

"What's that?"

"A Bio Bomb. Just a little toy I bought from the Shop. Stand back, so you don't get hurt."

An Xinghe waited for the right moment and threw it toward the area where the soldiers were gathered!

The instant it touched the ground, the Bio Bomb exploded into a cloud of green smoke! Before the Dwarves could react, it spread through the air!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Someone shouted, but two seconds later, the group of patrolling Dwarves abruptly fell silent.

The biological smoke seeped into their bodies. Their eyes became vacant, their skin turned green, and sores appeared across their bodies.

They looked just like a group of goblins! It even reminded An Xinghe of the goblin-and-female-knight doujinshi he had once read.

Then he naturally thought of Demon-Slaying Ninja.

Seeing this, Lin Yan roared furiously:

"An Xinghe! You turned them into biological monsters?! Won't that make it even harder for us to get through?!"

An Xinghe rolled his eyes at him:

"Follow me."

An Xinghe sprang out of his hiding place and walked straight toward the Bio Dwarves.

A bewildering scene appeared before Lin Yan's eyes. Not only did the Bio Dwarves not attack An Xinghe, they even... knelt down before him??

[Lin Yan's shocked expression is killing me!]
