Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

As for Bandanda, Luo Xiu has already advanced to the fifth rank, so dead heads pose no threat to him. As for the bookworm, he shouldn't have any enmity with Luo Xiu, and he's been out of touch with worldly affairs for many years, so there's no need to worry about him.

Luo Xiu can study and cultivate there in peace.

I just don't know where Luo Xiu will go.

As his chaotic thoughts gradually calmed down, he looked at Vivian beside him.

In fact, he had always known what Vivian meant, and since he had known her since childhood and grown up together, it was impossible for him not to have feelings for her.

He spent the first half of his life learning from his teacher and the second half searching for monsters. By the time he realized he should cherish the life he had, he was already old.

He had thought that Vivian would eventually lose interest in him over time and realize that he was not someone she could rely on.

But I didn't expect...

If there's one person he feels most indebted to over the years, besides his teacher, it would definitely be Vivian.

"what are you thinking about?"

Vivian's gentle voice brought Tata back to reality.

He then noticed that Vivian was also looking at him.

Those wrinkled eyes are just as bright and lively as they were decades ago:

"You're thinking of me, aren't you?"

"..."

Tata smiled helplessly. He wasn't a very cheerful person, especially after the black mist dissipated, because his terrifying face made his smile look ugly.

"Yes."

But today is definitely different.

These might be the last ten minutes of his life.

After reminiscing about the past and the important people in one's life, one must eventually return to reality.

Vivian was surprised by Tata's response, and joy flashed in her eyes. Even though they were about to die at this moment, she was still very happy.

She stepped forward and boldly took Tata's hand, just like when they were children.

She has always been the bolder one.

Whether it's about life or relationships.

Two aged hands clasped together, and everything was understood without words.

On the other side, Lucas watched this scene with utter sarcasm:

"Look, look at this pair of doomed lovers. How wonderful, they'll have someone to accompany them on their journey to death, so they won't be lonely."

Suddenly, he stopped, because he sensed a powerful aura rapidly approaching.

"coming!!"

He was overjoyed and excitedly blew on his beard.

Tata and Vivian also sensed someone's arrival, and the aura was not weak; it was clearly not the aura of someone who had just entered the fifth rank.

Tata had a last glimmer of hope, but that hope was shattered.

If the opponent deploys such a being, Luo Xiu will likely have a hard time escaping.

Basil, who was in the distance, stopped. She was covered in blood and, after sensing a powerful presence approaching, was no longer willing to exert herself. She lay down on the ground, panting heavily.

"Damn it, damn it, Hermes, Lucas, you two are definitely going to hell, definitely."

She kept cursing, but Lucas became happier the more he listened:

"Go ahead and yell, Basil, you won't have another chance to open your filthy mouth soon."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency Lucas. It's a pleasure to meet you this time."

A young voice rang out, and Lucas's smile froze on his face. Before he could react, he felt a blur before his eyes, as if a gray shadow had flashed by.

Luo Xiu appeared before everyone, wearing a gray cloak.

"Sir Lucas, thank you for keeping my teacher company."

Luo Xiu spoke softly, without a smile on his face.

"How is this possible?! How could it be you?!"

Lucas's hunched body trembled as he pointed at Luo Xiu incredulously and spoke:

"That idiot Hermes let you escape, that damned coward!"

"Luo Xiu..."

Tata's eyes lit up with surprise.

At this moment, Luo Xiu was emanating a very powerful aura. In just a few tens of minutes, he seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.

The next second, he spoke to Luo Xiu:

"Luo Xiu, hurry! Find the River of Sorcerers, go down and head south. There's a teleportation array there that can take you directly to Luowangpu!"

That's right, he had to get Luo Xiu to leave as soon as possible.

He was very happy to see that Luo Xiu was alright, but even though Luo Xiu's aura was much stronger at the moment, he still couldn't shake Lucas, who had been in the fifth rank for who knows how many years. If he delayed, it would be too late when the demon bat army arrived.

Lucas thought the same thing; if they could just delay a little longer, Hermes would surely arrive. He smiled ruthlessly:

"Kid, are you sure you're not going to save your teacher? Are you just going to turn around and run away like that?"

"Don't listen to him, Luo Xiu! It's never too late for revenge, even if it takes decades. Let's go!! It'll be too late if the demon bat army catches up."

Tata spoke in a deep voice.

Luo Xiu listened to their conversation, blinked, and finally looked at his teacher:

"Teacher, don't worry, the army of demon bats shouldn't be coming."

"They're not coming? What does that mean..."

Tata's eyes widened, and she quickly realized what was happening, looking towards the swarm of demonic bats above Kanriel's outer perimeter:

"Then what are these demonic bats...?"

"These are some that were missed before, and they are the last few. Please rest assured, teacher, everything has been arranged properly; it's just a matter of time."

Luo Xiu spoke up. He had just glanced at the situation when he passed by the outer perimeter. In fact, the situation was quite optimistic. Without the help of the fifth-tier demon bats, the fourth-tier ones inside the city were more than enough to handle it.

Those low-level demonic bats are still foolishly waiting for reinforcements from the fifth-level demonic bats; they probably won't get any.

Moreover, because Leila gains power from points at a higher rate than Miler and Tassanya, she has already advanced to the fifth rank, and can easily handle even thousands of low-ranking demon bats and mushroom monsters.

Upon hearing Luo Xiu's words, Lucas on the opposite side wore a face full of sarcasm:

"You mean you killed Hermes? And then stopped the army of demon bats with Shek? Are you here to make a joke, you brat? You're hilarious."

Luo Xiu blinked again:

"That was not what I meant."

"Then what are you spouting nonsense about—"

"Lord Hermes escaped, and the bat army was mainly stopped by Lord Shek; it has nothing to do with me."

Luo Xiu spoke, and what he said was so shocking that Lucas's mouth remained agape for a long time.

Finally, Lucas lost his temper. He didn't know where his anger came from—whether it stemmed from his anger at Luo Xiu for lying or from his fear that Luo Xiu was telling the truth—but in the end, he roared at Luo Xiu in a fit of rage:

"Is lying all you're good for, you brat! You despicable wretch!"

Luo Xiu shrugged:

"If you don't want to believe it, you can continue to wait and see if Lord Hermes will return. I actually really hope he will come back."

After confirming that his teacher would be alright, Luo Xiu ran towards the mushroom monster and basil on the other side.

His figure flashed like lightning, instantly appearing between the basil and the mushroom monster.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Commander. I didn't know your name before."

Luo Xiu walked up to Luo Le and looked down at her.

Basil felt a little embarrassed; being seen this way by a younger person made her feel ashamed.

Finally, with a stern face, she pointed at the mushroom monster opposite her:

“My name is Basil, and I’m friends with your teacher. Kill it for me, if you’re really not lying.”

"If you succeed, I'll make you the chief deputy commander."

Luo Xiu's lips curved into a smile:

“I have no intention of taking Lord Baal’s position for the time being, but since you are my teacher’s friend, Lord Basil, I am naturally happy to help you with this favor.”

The moment the words left his mouth, Luo Xiu moved.

Like a streak of light flashing through the air, half a second later, the two arms of the enormous mushroom monster exploded, severing from under its armpits, scattering countless mycelium.

Then its neck collapsed, followed by its chest, legs, until its entire body became twisted.

Luo Xiu appeared before the collapsed mushroom monster, looking at the stiff, dead smiling face that he had once used to roam the inner city with.

He took a slight step back and then suddenly threw a punch.

The punch was so fast that it was impossible to see. Even though Luo Xiu had gotten up from the ground and tried his best to open his eyes wide, he only felt Luo Xiu's hand move slightly before the mushroom monster on the other side exploded completely.

Crimson mycelium drifted in the air, falling the moment Luo Xiu turned around, as if offering a blessing to him.

Luo Xiu emerged from the crimson light, like a warrior who had fought his way out of hell.

He approached Basil, placing his right hand on his left shoulder:

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

Basil's two large eyes trembled.

She couldn't believe her eyes. Luo Xiu's aura wasn't even as strong as hers; how could he have defeated the mushroom monster so easily?!

And she remembered that a few days ago, Luo Xiu seemed to...

It's only at the fourth rank...
