The two chatted casually, seemingly relying on their own strength and not taking the icy plains seriously at all, showing absolutely no sign of vigilance.

It was as if the two of them hadn't come to deal with the disaster in the Ice Grand Duchy at all, but rather for a picnic.

Suddenly...

Two dim lights appeared beneath Qin Chu's body.

That luster was dark and deep.

Because it is located beneath the ice, it is completely undetectable unless you look closely.

The two beams of light seemed to be staring at the two people above them. No one knew what these two beams of light were. Gradually, the two beams of light began to slowly dissipate, and unknowingly, they actually condensed into the shape of two pupils.

Hidden within the glacier beneath Qin Chu and Antasia is a strange life form.

Its gaze was somber and cold, like the most deadly venomous snake in the world, radiating ferocity.

The person looking at Qin Chu and Antasia, who were completely unsuspecting on the glacier, showed utter contempt and mockery... These two, and one of them is Hero revered by everyone on the Skyvault Continent?

What right does this kind of trash have to be worthy of the title of Hero?

It's more of a miracle that someone with Qin Chu's carefree, rough, and somewhat haphazard personality has survived this long in this terrible world.

That idiot should have died long ago.

Aside from the cold, are there any other dangers?

Oh, Goddess of Fate be upon us.

Listening to this foolish statement, it almost burst out laughing.

How could a qualified Hero utter such awful words? In that case, let me take this fool's life myself. After all, the Skyvault Continent really doesn't need too many Hero.

Beneath those dark eyes, a slit gradually opened, revealing two rows of white teeth.

It was a radiant smile, yet one tinged with cruelty.

Within the gaze of this eerie being, Qin Chu was no longer a living being, but a cold corpse.

The next instant, a cold glint appeared.

Right beneath Qin Chu, the ice layer instantly shattered.

Five sharp claws, gleaming with a chilling light, lashed out directly at Qin Chu's buttocks.

Grass...

In that instant, Qin Chu couldn't help but curse.

His senses were sharp; he had already detected the movement beneath the glacier, but he didn't act rashly. Instead, he was quite interested in the entity that was moving through the ice.

The other party seemed to be an assassin... This made Qin Chu very curious; what kind of assassin was this guy?

Magic Creature? Human? Church? Seven Uglies of the Void? Or perhaps Moirai, who feels disobedient and tries to break free from the shackles of Fate?

Qin Chu had anticipated that this guy would launch an attack soon, but Qin Chu never expected the attack to be so bizarre—it was coming straight for his rear!

Did you learn this trick from spotted hyenas in Africa?

Isn't that a bit too shameless?

Qin Chu knew very well that this level of attack would be unable to cause him any effective damage.

But at that moment, he couldn't help but dodge away with a whoosh, and at the same time, he waved his right hand, and a gust of wind blew by, directly pushing Antasia far away.

Sizzle

A strange, tearing sound exploded in my ears.

The ice was torn apart, and sharp gusts of air flew everywhere.

Amidst the swirling ice shards, out of the corner of my eye, I clearly caught a glimpse of a grotesque, monstrous claw, resembling Magic Creature beast.

It's like a human's five fingers, only replaced by sharp nails.

The skin on the palms and wrists was not the normal human skin color; instead, it was covered with a strange, metallic skin, even densely covered with fine scales.

People with trypophobia would probably go crazy if they saw it just once.

But Qin Chu remained calm. He lightly touched the flying ice shards with his toes and suddenly stepped back. Almost at the same time, a figure full of madness flashed past amidst the flying ice shards in mid-air. A sharp gash ripped through Qin Chu's chest, narrowly missing him.

But it was this slight difference that meant Qin Chu's clothes weren't torn and he wasn't hurt at all.

Amidst the swirling ice shards, the figure grew clearer and clearer.

Qin Chu's pupils contracted slightly, and he winked at Antasia out of the corner of his eye, signaling Antasia to step back a little.

He truly hadn't expected to be attacked like this here, especially by such a... bizarre individual.

Was that one person?

It seems so.

He has aspects similar to humans.

For example, the head, the upright torso, the limbs divided into hands and feet... all of these are very similar to those of humans.

However, in other aspects, they are completely different from normal humans.

Aside from its hands covered in sharp claws and its skin covered in scales, its head, though shaped like a normal human, had a strange metallic sheen on its skin, and above its two eyes were a pair of eerie compound eyes, making it look like some kind of bizarre insect.

The four eyes, two large and two small, were all pitch black, like a dense apocalypse, exuding a chilling madness.

His face was devoid of any emotion; he was thin and cold.

The metallic scales slid down his neck to his chest and abdomen, like those of a venomous snake.

His body wasn't particularly robust; in fact, it appeared somewhat slender, with an overall streamlined shape. At first glance, it gave off a very agile and sharp impression, but even beneath the dense scales, the contours of his muscles were still clearly visible.

There is absolutely no doubt that this slightly slender body also possesses astonishing explosive power.

In comparison, his legs are slightly more muscular, exuding power like a cheetah.

Like its hands and feet, the feet also resemble those of a wild animal.

What kind of monster is this?

Magic Creature?

This was Qin Chu's subconscious feeling. After all, most Magic Creature are strangely shaped, and compared to many Magic Creature, this guy's form wasn't even that hard to accept.

But Qin Chu quickly denied this.

Within the four eyes of this strange being, Qin Chu could clearly sense a flexible mind unlike that of ordinary Magic Creature.

Most importantly, right at the man's waist, there was even... a pair of shorts made of animal hide, covering his most private parts...

Shame.

This is something that most Magic Creature do not possess.

Apart from Snow Woman, Blood Elf, and the royal family among Magic Creature, almost all other Magic Creature, even those with high intelligence, do not possess any sense of shame and do not mind exposing their bodies.

A strong physique makes it easier for Magic Creature to attract the attention of the opposite sex.

Most importantly, armor and similar coverings are a constraint on Magic Creature, and can even prevent them from unleashing their full power.

Although its body was covered with ugly scales, each scale was cleaned thoroughly.

The pursuit of cleanliness and tidiness is something that Magic Creature never possess.

Through these details, Qin Chu felt that the strangely shaped creature in front of him was more like a Magic Creature than a monster.

With his dark eyes scrutinizing the figure before him, Qin Chu grew increasingly curious about this guy's background.

"Who exactly are you?" Qin Chu asked coldly, taking a deep breath.

He was certain that the assassin opposite him was a highly intelligent being.

Sure enough, the eerie assassin suddenly grinned, revealing a sinister smile, accompanied by a hoarse, unpleasant sound, like metal scraping against metal.

You don't need to know who I am.

"As long as I kill you, I will be the Hero... You only need to know this much!"

Chapter Two, 4,000 words, is presented. Many thanks to readers Qinghedeng for their 1,000 coins and gzyggg for their 600 coins. Thank you for your support.

Chapter 516 Another Hero Summoned by the Goddess of Fate? (4000 words)

Character)

Does killing himself make him Hero?

Even with Qin Chu's composure, he was completely dumbfounded upon hearing these words... What did this guy mean? Did he also want to become Hero?

Why kill yourself then?

The Skyvault Continent doesn't actually limit itself to one Hero. If you want to be Hero, just do it yourself. As long as others acknowledge you as Hero, why kill yourself?

Previously, the Goddess of Fate, Moirai, casually threw thirty-eight or thirty-seven Hero into this world. Although all of these so-called Hero were found by the Second-Generation Jello, they didn't even have a chance to enjoy themselves before being killed in the most unfortunate and painful way.

Qin Chu's brain started spinning rapidly, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

This single sentence has already given Qin Chu a great deal of intelligence.

First of all, although this guy looks like a monster formed from a combination of multiple creatures, with the claws and fangs of a wild beast, and the scales of a venomous snake and a lizard, he is actually a human.

At least his soul was human.

Hero are only meaningful to humans; to Magic Creature and other beings, Hero are merely objects to be eliminated.

If he truly was human, then what caused him to become this inhuman, ghostly figure...? Was this person a native of the Skyvault Continent, or an outsider from another world like myself?

Judging from the perspective of Qin Chu, the latter is more likely.

The people of the Skyvault Continent are very clear that only outsiders from other worlds can become Hero. No matter how high their cultivation level or what merits they have made in fighting against Magic Creature, the local experts would never call themselves Hero.

Perhaps there are many ambitious people on the Skyvault Continent who pursue power, wealth, beauty, and strength, but no one has ever been interested in the title of Hero.

Everyone knows that while the title of "Hero" brings many benefits, it also represents danger.

Aside from outsiders from another world, no one cares about the word "Hero."

In other words, this strange-looking creature in front of me is very likely from Earth, just like me.

So, who exactly summoned him?

Moirai, the Goddess of Fate?

Sage Mountain?

Judging from the fact that he attacked himself, it's even possible that he was one of the Seven Uglies of the Void?

What went wrong during the summoning process that caused this creature to become so hideous?

How did he survive being hunted by the Second-Generation Jello?

What's with this guy saying that if he kills himself, he'll become Hero?

Even if he demonstrated great strength and was willing to stand on the side of humanity against the Magic Creature, Qin Chu didn't think the people of the Skyvault Continent would accept his existence just because of his bizarre and ugly appearance.

The poor mysterious being had no idea that a single, casual remark from him had already sparked so many associations in Qin Chu's mind... He really only said one sentence, without revealing much... But based on the information and intelligence he possessed, and by following the clues from that sentence, Qin Chu immediately deduced most of the information.

This guy seems a bit slow-witted; perhaps I can get more information out of him.

Qin Chu gripped his chin with his fingers, a somewhat disrespectful thought swirling in his mind.

Even if this guy might be from the same world as him, don't expect Qin Chu to be any more gentle with him because of that; it's not going to happen.

"This guy..." Qin Chu raised an eyebrow, carefully choosing his words.

A pair of bright eyes scanned the strange, tall figure, at least two meters tall, up and down. Qin Chu initially wanted to capture the monster alive, but after careful consideration, he gave up.

This strange creature's ability to move freely beneath the glacier was something even Qin Chu found somewhat eerie.

Unless this person can be subdued instantly, it will be extremely difficult to catch him once he enters the glacier. Qin Chu did not want to take the risk, so he adopted another method.

"You're very strong."

"I almost died just now."

As expected, flattery will get you everywhere.

Although the monster had always wanted to kill him, Qin Chu's praise instantly lifted his spirits, which had been somewhat suppressed by Qin Chu's evasion of his sneak attack.

There seemed to be a hint of smugness in his eyes.
