I, Bao Lao Er, the Ancestor's Peace

The battle was about to erupt.

The atmosphere suddenly grew tense.

"Great God, as the saying goes, 'First wind, then vigor, third spent.'"

"Why not let the Scorpion Lions launch their fiercest assault, smash through their lines, and crush their morale?"

"That way, Ye Yu's side might just collapse outright."

On the ground, Cannot Eat Peach had once again turned into a backseat strategist, offering advice to Ma Baoguo.

Ma Baoguo listened, glanced down at Peach.

Then nodded, finding it quite reasonable.

Without delay, he waved his hand and barked.

"My Believers."

"Now is the time to show your valor and defend your glory!"

"Use your sharp claws to tear these weak humans to shreds!"

The Scorpion Lions on the ground instantly went berserk.

As if injected with adrenaline, they let out piercing shrieks, swung their claws, and charged straight at the player camp.

Rumble!

The very ground began to tremble.

Facing the tide of Scorpion Lions surging toward them, many players felt their scalps go numb.

The game was too realistic, making even these veteran players' hearts pound with fear.

"Tank Squad, hold the line!"

Gu Du, commanding this operation, wasn't intimidated. He reacted swiftly and started issuing orders.

As his words fell, the Tank Squad, led by Xiong Da, immediately moved up to meet the Scorpion Lions.

The Tank Squad players were fully decked out.

They had turned everything usable into their gear!

The most outrageous was Xiong Da!

On his chest and back, he had strapped two shiny iron woks.

On his head, he wore a helmet made from a pot lid.

He was armed to the teeth!

There was no choice—resources in the game were scarce, and Life Skills hadn't been unlocked yet.

Xiong Da had to resort to this.

Still, though his appearance was ugly, the effect was outstanding!

When the Scorpion Lions' claws landed on him, they were all blocked by the iron woks.

Sparks flew as the claws scraped across.

But the other Tank Squad players weren't so lucky.

Many of their makeshift gear couldn't withstand the Scorpion Lions' sharp claws, and they were instantly turned into streaks of white light, dead on the spot!

White lights flashed continuously, illuminating the square in a blinding glow.

Seeing this, Gu Du took a deep breath and shouted.

"Eat the kidneys!"

At his command, the main strike team, responsible for finishing blows, all bit into wolf kidney skewers in unison!

That's right, these wolf kidney skewers were all provided by the Dark Cuisine King!

Under the Kidney Fighter BUFF, the players' stats had at least doubled.

Even though their base stats weren't high.

After doubling, the effect was still extremely noticeable.

The main strike team, having wolfed down the wolf kidneys, glowed with red light and charged at the Scorpion Lions with wild cries.

With the Tank Squad holding the front, these players could focus on reaping without worry.

The Scorpion Lions and players clashed in a chaotic melee, both sides charging forward with unstoppable momentum.

Casualties kept mounting.

Compared to the Scorpion Lions, the players suffered heavier losses.

It often took five or six players dying to barely take down one Scorpion Lion.

But unfortunately, players could respawn, while the Scorpion Lions could not!

In midair, Ma Baoguo's expression gradually darkened.

These lowly humans—how could they be so fierce?

They'd actually killed and wounded quite a few of his Scorpion Lion Believers?

Where was the wavering morale, the resentment toward Ye Yu?

Suddenly, Ma Baoguo felt like he'd been tricked.

That despicable human brat had deceived him.

With that thought, Ma Baoguo moved and landed on the ground.

"Damned humans!"

"You dare deceive This God?"

Ma Baoguo grew angrier the more he thought about it. As a sly old hand among the new gods, he'd actually been tripped up by humans?

Where was his face now?

"Great God, I'm wronged!"

"How would I dare deceive you?"

"Look, Ye Yu's overseeing the battle—how could my kin slack off?"

"Don't you think?"

Peach said, looking innocent.

Hearing this, Ma Baoguo hesitated slightly.

His gaze involuntarily fell on Ye Yu.

When he saw Ye Yu standing with his arms crossed, looking like he was enjoying the show—

He froze for a moment.

Before he realized he'd been tricked again, a piercing pain suddenly shot up from his rear.

Startled and enraged, Ma Baoguo whirled around.

He saw Cannot Eat Peach holding a sharp bone awl, madly stabbing at him!

"You're asking for death!"

Realizing he'd been played by this human, Ma Baoguo exploded in fury.

He slapped toward Cannot Eat Peach.

A white light flashed.

Without any suspense, Cannot Eat Peach was instantly killed.

"Vile humans!"

"Kill them all!"

"Tear these despicable, lowly humans to shreds!"

Ma Baoguo's roar rang out.

Hearing it, the Scorpion Lions grew even more frenzied.

The death rate among the Tank Squad and main DPS shot up.

The players began to retreat step by step.

Seeing this, Gu Du frowned.

The players were losing too fast—beyond what he'd imagined.

He was calculating which follow-up plan to activate.

Just then, Peach's voice suddenly reached his ear.

"He's green, he's green—Ma Baoguo's gone green!"

Gu Du quickly looked toward Ma Baoguo.

He saw Ma Baoguo shrouded in green light, his aura clearly weakened.

Not just Ma Baoguo—most of the Scorpion Lions were also glowing with a sickly green!

"Hui Tai Lang's poison took effect!"

Gu Du's heart lifted.

He suddenly had an idea.

"Bao Lao Er, you're up next!"

Gu Du turned and said to a player beside him with the ID Bao Lao Er.

Bao Lao Er heard this and thumped his chest.

"Don't worry, leave it to me. I, Bao Lao Er, am a true veteran of Zu'an!"

With that, he waved toward a few players nearby who looked like troublemakers.

"Zu'an Squad, follow me!"

Right away, Bao Lao Er led the Zu'an Squad, striding with a swagger that acknowledged no one, and appeared before Ma Baoguo... three zhang away.

Bao Lao Er planted his hands on his hips and squinted at Ma Baoguo.

"Ma Baoguo!"

"You're nothing but a pickled fish—sour, bland, and totally extra!"

"You're nothing but an old popsicle—stale, cold, and all alone!"

"You're nothing but a bottle of Laoganma—ugly, dry, and past your prime!"

"You've been calcium-deficient since childhood, love-starved since growing up, your grandma won't dote on you, your uncle won't care!"

"Your left cheek begs for a slap, your right cheek begs for a kick—donkeys kick you on sight, pigs trample you underfoot!"

"You were born a cucumber—just asking to be smacked! You were born a walnut—just asking to be pounded..."

Bao Lao Er's words flew out at lightning speed, a torrent of filth pouring forth like it cost nothing.

Ma Baoguo, already fuming over being set up, was momentarily stunned.

The next instant, a nameless rage surged up from within.

He let out a hysterical roar.

"Wahhh..."
