This Heaven's Chosen Has Never Owed Anyone a Favor!
Luo Jun was suffering inside...
He didn't mean to show off, and the price he paid for it was quite high...
After defeating the Cannon Ant, he planned to check out other places. Not far away, he happened to encounter a lone Flying Ant. Luo Jun became interested, grabbed the Flying Ant, mounted it, and flew eastward.
In the darkness, Luo Jun couldn't quite tell which way to go until he saw a streak of fire shooting into the sky in the distance, which confirmed his target and led it towards him.
Luo Jun's control of the Flying Ant was still somewhat clumsy, swaying unsteadily as he approached. Only when he got closer did he realize that three people were fighting around a strange man draped in a black robe. Thanks to his exceptional hearing, he vaguely heard the word "Polluter"...
That man in black robes was a Polluter? Or perhaps an accomplice in the Ants Attack City?
We need to go help!
Luo Jun controlled the Flying Ant to approach, arriving directly above the battlefield. He leaped down from the Flying Ant, intending to make a cool entrance by descending from the sky.
At first it was fine, but when he descended to a certain height, Luo Jun suddenly felt his body being pulled towards the ground by a strong force, and his falling speed suddenly increased!
The Polluter's Gravity Field was a hemispherical area, only twenty or thirty meters high. Luo Jun fell into the Gravity Field in a daze. He felt the acceleration and realized something was wrong, but it was too difficult to get out. In desperation, he gritted his teeth and simply released the full weight of the hammer, smashing it down on the Polluter!
The Polluter was unlucky; he had noticed the Flying Ant above his head, but dismissed them as mere passing insects. When Luo Jun jumped down, he was focused on manipulating the Gravity Field and ignored the threat above.
Just kidding! A 3,600-pound River-Sinking Stone Hammer, under a hundred times the force of gravity, its power is unimaginable!
What kind of protective aura, what kind of armor, what kind of physique? Under such overwhelming power, they are all as fragile as paper!
The Polluter, who was just moments ago so arrogant, met his end in an instant...
Luo Jun was also in bad shape. A height of twenty or thirty meters was roughly equivalent to seven or eight stories. With his current physique, this height was nothing, but under a hundred times the force of gravity, falling to the ground caused pain all over his body, from his legs to the top of his head... Especially his right leg, which was kneeling on the ground, was almost numb. He immediately used the Water Healing Construct for emergency treatment.
It was only thanks to the Polluter acting as a cushion that Luo Jun was able to recover; otherwise, both of his legs would probably have been ruined...
Upon seeing Luo Jun approach, Mister Qin and Lu Kui immediately went to greet him. The former was naturally full of gratitude, while the latter curiously inquired how Luo Jun had killed the enemy with a single blow.
Luo Jun was still in pain, his jaw clenched, and he refused to speak, only coldly waving his hand.
Upon seeing each other, the two instinctively stepped aside.
It's unreasonable for ordinary people to be arrogant, but when capable people are arrogant, that's called the demeanor of a strong person!
His ability to eliminate Polluter with a single blow, coupled with the kindness of saving several lives, is enough to earn him respect.
Only one person still refused to lower his proud head.
"I owe you a favor." Xuanyuan Wuji walked up to Luo Jun and said loudly, "As a repayment, this This Heaven's Chosen can grant you three requests, but first, you cannot do anything immoral or against morality; second, you cannot damage my reputation; and third, you cannot..."
Xuanyuan Wuji paused for a moment. "I haven't thought of a third request yet, I'll let you know when I do..."
As he spoke, he took out a Tooth Pendant and handed it to Luo Jun: "Consider this a token!"
ha?
Luo Jun felt a jolt in his cerebellum, looked up at Xuanyuan Wuji, and thought to himself, "Is this guy serious?"
Seeing that Luo Jun didn't accept the token, Xuanyuan Wuji assumed he doubted it and explained, "This is the tooth of my first prey in the Savage Wilderness. To commemorate it, I paid a Refining Masters to forge it into equipment for me. Although it's only of excellent quality, it's one of a kind in the world, and I'll acknowledge it wherever I go!"
"Get out of the way!" Luo Jun was in a lot of pain and wanted to find a quiet place to heal his wounds. He didn't want to see this idiot.
"Is this the first thing?" Xuanyuan Wuji chuckled. "Just kidding... If you don't accept it, I won't let you!"
"I, Xuanyuan Wuji Yue Mingxuan, have lived an upright life and have never owed anyone a favor!"
Father Qin and Lu Kui, standing nearby, stared wide-eyed, thinking, "Aren't you afraid that if you push him too far, he'll hit you with a hammer too?"
Luo Jun was speechless at this lunatic's antics. He sighed, reached out and took the pendant, and then used his Qi Sense it.
Name: Xuanyuan Wuji's Merit
Grade: Excellent (Green)
Description: This souvenir was made by a certain (self-important) [Peerless Genius] to commemorate his first hunt in the Savage Wilderness. At the request of this Peerless Genius, the Refining Masters added a (useless) [very unique] effect to this item.
Effect: When wearing it, you will attract extra attention and become the focus of everyone's eyes.
Note: All eyes in the room are on you...
It really does live up to... the effect of a prodigy...
Seeing that Luo Jun had put the pendant away, Xuanyuan Wuji finally stepped aside, satisfied, and watched him slowly walk into the woods.
"Dad, why doesn't he talk much..." Xiao Qi had already woken up, muttered weakly as she looked at Luo Jun's back.
"True masters never talk the talk." Father Qin admired this Young Hero even more. "Xiao Qi, you need to be more composed in the future. One day, you will have to leave your father and venture out on your own. Being too high-profile will easily cause trouble."
"Father is talking nonsense, I just..." Xiao Qi was about to argue when she turned her head and saw Xuanyuan Wuji. She paused for two seconds and said, "I know, Father, I'll be more careful in the future..."
After walking into the jungle and confirming that no one was following, Luo Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief, found a big tree to sit on, and threw out two more chess pieces.
Water Healing Construct healing mechanisms are in place, Flame Turret are on alert. Finally, I can rest in peace for a while...
As the warm mist nourished him, Luo Jun felt the pain throughout his body gradually subside.
Suddenly, his brow furrowed, and he turned to look westward.
The faint blue light that enveloped Lingyun City dissipated...
The barrier couldn't hold out any longer. Hopefully, the other turrets have been taken down as well, and the guards and hunters inside the city are ready. Luo Jun doesn't plan to fight again until he's fully recovered...
As the energy dwindled and the barrier vanished, Ling Yi's heart leaped into his throat. He climbed to the top of the guild tower and gazed at the surrounding city walls in the night wind.
Shouts of battle came from all directions. The moment the barrier disappeared, the insects stormed the city walls. Fortunately, the guards and hunters were already prepared and fought desperately to stop the monsters.
But Ling Yi's gaze was fixed on a place even further beyond the city walls.
One minute has passed, and still no fireball has been fired!
"Excellent!" Ling Yi excitedly slammed his fist on the wall. "All the gun emplacements have been removed!"
