Bully the Weak and Fear the Strong

Chapter 50: Bullying the Weak and Fearing the Strong

One hour later.

Lu Xing appeared at the resurrection point of Emperor's Tomb Village.

The battle with the Strange Butterfly left him with lingering fear. Afterward, he discovered that the Strange Butterfly was fully capable of killing him easily, yet it chose to torment him in a playful manner.

After his death, a large number of players had already formed groups and headed to Wind Wave Pond, determined to capture this fourth-generation primal creature.

At this moment, Lu Xing summoned the forum panel.

After selecting the live broadcast category, he clicked on the streamer "Nightfall is Coming."

Through the live broadcast screen, it could be seen that after more than an hour of arduous travel, the player team led by Nightfall is Coming had arrived near Wind Wave Pond. Bypassing the erupting volcano ahead would lead them to the Strange Butterfly's location.

At this time, a large number of players in the live broadcast room were discussing one question: Was the Strange Butterfly still there?

This question was answered half an hour later.

In the bushes at the end of the live broadcast, a pair of eerie green eyes blinked continuously, observing the outside movements.

Seeing that the Strange Butterfly was still there, both the players on-site and the onlookers in the live broadcast room cheered.

However, their excitement lasted for only a few seconds before the Strange Butterfly suddenly leaped out of the bushes and flew high into the sky, flapping its wings.

This left the players who had formed groups to come here dumbfounded.

"Damn it, after traveling for so long, the Strange Butterfly just ran away like that?"

"Where are the Eagle Head Demon players? Hurry up and flap your wings to chase it, quickly!"

"Idiot, we Eagle Head Demons are ground-bound chickens. We can only glide for short distances. We can't fly... at least not at our current level."

The Strange Butterfly flew further and further away, while the players who had formed groups to come here were helpless. They could only gaze longingly as the Strange Butterfly gradually disappeared from their sight.

Helplessly, they could only choose to turn back.

Seeing this, Lu Xing couldn't help but shake his head.

The operation to contain the Strange Butterfly had completely failed.

Closing Nightfall is Coming's live broadcast room, Lu Xing turned on his own live broadcast mode. He then purchased ten cans of food worth 1 point of Sacrificial Power from the mall interface, preparing to continue his journey of exploring the world.

2 hours later.

Passing through the Ancient Battlefield region, which was covered in blood corpses, Lu Xing arrived at the Wind Wave Pond region once again.

This time, he didn't stop. He continued northwest along the edge of the pond.

Just then, a gust of strong wind swept down from the sky.

Lu Xing suddenly looked up, surprised to find the Strange Butterfly descending from the sky. Its large white wings pressed down on him from above.

"Oh my god!"

Lu Xing decisively switched to the Eagle Head Demon form and lunged to the side.

"Goo goo!"

Amidst the flying dust, the Strange Butterfly landed, emitting an excited chirp.

The reappearance of the Strange Butterfly left Lu Xing somewhat bewildered. He looked up and found the Strange Butterfly looking at him with a very human-like provocative gaze.

"I'm not fighting, I'm not fighting!" Recalling the experience of being beaten for over half an hour last time, Lu Xing decisively surrendered and turned to run.

But the Strange Butterfly wouldn't let him go.

It flapped its wings and flew behind him, knocking him to the ground. Then, it flew to a distant twisted ancient tree and stood there, looking at him and chirping again.

Lu Xing, who had been knocked to the ground, felt a bad premonition.

This Strange Butterfly seemed to have fixated on him.

Recalling the "bully the weak and fear the strong" evaluation of the Strange Butterfly in the Guider's analysis, he realized that he seemed to have become a weakling in the Strange Butterfly's eyes, someone it could bully at will.

"Goo goo!"

The Strange Butterfly flapped its wings and leaped from the ancient tree, attacking him again in a dive.

Lu Xing dodged decisively, but he was still sent tumbling by the Strange Butterfly, landing on his butt and seeing stars.

Goo goo!

"This is too much!" Looking at the Strange Butterfly standing proudly on a tree branch, Lu Xing felt wronged in his heart.

When the Strange Butterfly dived again, Lu Xing decided not to retreat anymore. He flapped his wings and actively met the attack.

As Lu Xing and the Strange Butterfly clashed, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room also continued to climb.

"What a surprise! I thought the Strange Butterfly had flown away, but I didn't expect it to come back! Capturing it is possible now!"

"I suspect it was because too many people went at that time that caused the Strange Butterfly to flee in panic. Next time, fewer people should go, or stronger players should go alone to challenge it."

"Go, fight the Strange Butterfly again, you can win!"

As the onlookers flooded into the livestream, more incentives and donations poured in.

Lu Xing and the Strange Butterfly began a new round of confrontation. This time, the Strange Butterfly no longer used wind manipulation in combat, instead toying with Lu Xing through close-quarters fighting.

The torment lasted for half an hour. Finally, Lu Xing lay exhausted on the ground, curled into a ball, completely giving up resistance and letting the wings whip him.

As a player who enjoyed scenic exploration, he never expected to encounter such a calamity on his journey. He had been killed by monsters and Evil Spirits before encountering the Strange Butterfly, but none of those deaths were as agonizing as this.

Lu Xing felt grief and indignation, but the Strange Butterfly showed no mercy, flapping its wings to summon countless wind blades that surrounded him, ending his life.

After Lu Xing logged off, a large number of players regrouped and headed to Wind Wave Pond. This time, the players had learned their lesson, realizing that the Strange Butterfly preyed on the weak and couldn't be challenged by groups. Upon arriving near Wind Wave Pond, they selected a level 10 player to approach the Strange Butterfly.

However, to the players' astonishment, the Strange Butterfly took one look at the challenging player and immediately flew away, flapping its wings.

Unwilling to give up, the players hid in the distance. Half an hour later, the Strange Butterfly returned. After circling Wind Wave Pond twice to observe the situation, it landed in a bush.

This time, the players sent a player of similar level to Lu Xing to challenge it, but the result was still the same. Upon spotting the player, the Strange Butterfly flew high into the sky and disappeared before the player could even get close.

This made the players who had come as a group grit their teeth in frustration, but they were helpless.

Just then, a voice sounded in the team's voice channel: "The Strange Butterfly seems to have its sights set on the explorer; only he is seen as weak by the Strange Butterfly. Since we can't approach it, why don't we find a way to make the explorer defeat the Strange Butterfly."

This idea was met with considerable agreement from many players.

When Lu Xing logged back in and started his livestream, a large number of players suddenly flooded the chat.

"Brother, the responsibility of defeating the Strange Butterfly is on you."

"Containing the first fourth-generation Origin is a reward greater than winning the lottery; you can do it."

"Brother, you must believe in yourself; we all have high hopes for you."

Lu Xing, somewhat bewildered, gradually understood the reason these players were looking for him after reading the comments. They clearly wanted him to go to Wind Wave Pond and fight the Strange Butterfly again.

In response, Lu Xing shook his head, stating he had decided to change his exploration route and would no longer be heading to the Wind Wave Pond region. However, this was followed by a continuous stream of donations. Although the amounts were not large, they clearly showed the players' expectations for him to fight the Strange Butterfly again.

During this time, some players even offered to provide off-screen guidance, guaranteeing he could defeat the Strange Butterfly.

After a long silence, Lu Xing finally mustered his courage under the onslaught of money from the players in the livestream: "Okay, I'll try again!"

Seeing Lu Xing agree, cheers flooded the livestream chat.

Lu Xing then embarked on his journey to battle the Strange Butterfly once more.
