Since They Didn't Know How to Cherish It, They Could Only Die

Five in the morning. Dawn was about to break.

Underground boxing arena.

Zhao Hu, Zhang Feng, Li Si, Deng Tian, Wu Jiao, and Tang Huang—the six Super Martial Artists—had all returned, along with the three Super Martial Artists they had recruited.

Most of the resources they had recovered that night were purified water.

It couldn't be helped. They had such a terrifying Master.

"Boss, are we really going to follow that monster's lead and acknowledge him as our Master?"

Deng Tian, who had never witnessed Gu Qijue's terror firsthand, spoke unwillingly.

Tang Huang revealed a fierce expression. "Yeah, why should we? How about... when he comes back, we join forces and take him out?"

"You want to kill him? Do it yourselves. Don't drag me down to die with you."

Zhao Hu sneered. "Either way, I won't make an enemy of him. I hope you don't refuse to accept it. Us so-called Super Martial Artists are no different from ants before them."

"Is he really that powerful?"

Seeing how wary her boss was of that monstrous man, Wu Jiao asked hesitantly.

Zhang Feng and Li Si said, "He's more than powerful. He's absurdly strong."

Tang Huang lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. "In that case, let's stop talking about killing him. If he's really that damn formidable, following him will make us safer too."

Wu Jiao said thoughtfully, "The Emperor Abyss Group in Shangdu has made its move and is gathering the Super Martial Artists here. Who knows how many will answer their call? Having such a powerful boss isn't a bad thing either."

Zhao Hu nodded as well. "Exactly. Joining the Emperor Abyss Group and letting them control us? Impossible."

No matter what, he did not dare betray Gu Qijue.

Not only was that monster of a man overwhelmingly powerful, but he also knew so much.

Following someone like him gave people at least a little peace of mind.

As they chatted, the doors to the hall they occupied were opened from outside.

Hearing the sound,

everyone looked over at once.

Gu Qijue strode in with White Fox.

"Master!"

The moment Zhao Hu saw who had returned, his spirits lifted, and he stepped forward to greet him.

The others hurriedly followed. As they sized up Gu Qijue and White Fox behind him, they respectfully called out, "Master."

Looking at these human Super Martial Artists, White Fox felt immense doubt rising in her heart.

She could not understand how the Black Dragon King had become so close to humans.

And every one of these people called him Master.

As Zhao Hu and the others looked at White Fox, strange expressions appeared on their faces as well.

They became even more suspicious of their Master's identity. Could he truly be a Black Dragon who had taken human form?

Gu Qijue gave them a slight nod, then turned his gaze to the purified water placed on the ground nearby. He walked over, picked up a barrel, and began gulping it down.

Only after draining three full barrels did Gu Qijue feel satisfied.

Everyone stared at him as though he were a monster.

After hunting outside for several hours, Gu Qijue was now at the Late Third Order.

White Fox, meanwhile, was at the Mid Third Order.

"Where's that woman? She hasn't returned yet?"

Gu Qijue set down the plastic barrel. Although there were three additional Super Martial Artists, he did not see the woman from before. He spoke coldly.

Zhao Hu stepped forward and replied, "She hasn't come back yet, but I know who she is. She's Chu Mengxi, daughter of Chu Beixuan, the Chairman of the New God Group."

"Contact her by any means necessary. If she doesn't return within half an hour, I'll kill her!"

Gu Qijue sat down on a nearby sofa and took out a cigarette. Zhao Hu immediately stepped forward with a lighter and lit it for him. "Alright. I happen to have Chu Beixuan's WeChat. I'll contact him right away."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and directly sent Chu Beixuan a message.

Ding-dong!

Not long after Zhao Hu sent the message, Chu Beixuan replied with three words: "Wait for death."

"Master, Chu Beixuan told us to wait for death..."

Zhao Hu's face darkened as he turned the screen toward Gu Qijue.

"Arrogant! Turn on the location. There's still an hour before sunrise. We'll deal with them first."

Gu Qijue had given them a chance. Since they did not know how to cherish it, they could only die.

"Located them. New God Building!"

"White Fox, take them to Rhyme Garden High School and gather Ji Shang and the others. I'll go meet this Chu Beixuan first."

Gu Qijue rose and walked outside. "Gather at the New God Group!"

The reason he had White Fox lead them was that without a top-tier Evil Seed like her, even Super Martial Artists would struggle to take a single step outside. There were too many wandering Mutated Monsters.

"Everyone, follow me."

White Fox swept her autumn-water eyes over these human Super Martial Artists and spoke indifferently.

She had no favorable impression of humans.

It was not just her. All animal mutators were deeply hostile toward humans.

"Wu Jiao, stay behind and guard this place. The rest of us are leaving."

Zhao Hu led the others after her.

A group of humans clad in Super Martial Armor followed behind a breathtakingly seductive woman with nine fox tails. The sight was indescribably bizarre.

"Big Sister White Fox, how did you meet Master?" Zhao Hu casually tried to pry for information.

"We just met. What about you? How did Brother Black Dragon take a liking to weak little ants like you?"

White Fox's words were filled with disdain.

These so-called Super Martial Artists could be killed one by one with a single move in front of her. She would never need a second strike.

Deng Tian, Tang Huang, and the others frowned slightly at her contemptuous words.

But after leaving the underground boxing arena, they noticed that all the nearby mutated creatures fled at the sight of White Fox. Though secretly alarmed, they did not dare retort.

Perhaps before this fox demon and that dragon demon, they truly were as weak as ants.

New God Building, underground shelter.

Inside Chu Beixuan's study.

"Brother Chu, my shelter is absolutely safe. Why not bring Sister-in-law and the others over? If we join forces, we'll be a decent force in this apocalypse."

Chu Beixuan was on the phone. The person on the other end was Mu Qingxue.

The Taotie Super Martial awakened by Chu Beixuan was Saint Tier. If she could recruit him, Mu Qingxue's shelter would gain another high-end combatant.

Chu Beixuan thought about it and said, "To be honest, I want to bring my family and subordinates over too, but mutated creatures are everywhere outside. It's too difficult."

He also knew that staying here long-term was not a wise choice.

Mu Qingxue's smiling voice came through the phone. "That's easy. I'll have Vermilion Bird lead fifty Emperor Tier Super Martial Artists over right now to escort you here. How does that sound?"

"Alright. If you can make it here, I'll bring everyone over with me."

Chu Beixuan had no reason to refuse such a good offer. He knew just how safe and sturdy the shelter Mu Qingxue had built was.

More importantly, he would be able to live aboveground, bask in sunlight, and breathe fresh air.

"Alright. If nothing unexpected happens, Vermilion Bird will arrive with her people within an hour. Let me welcome you in advance, Brother Chu."
