"As expected of you, sir."
Fang Wuwei cleanly dealt with the enemy, and the first words he heard upon returning to the tribe were Lion King's praise. Currently, due to Fang Wuwei's healing scrolls, he had recovered quite a bit, at least enough to move around slightly.
"If we had obtained these scrolls earlier, perhaps several tribal chiefs would still be alive at present, and not so many of our people would have died."
Lion King thought to himself, but it was just a thought.
Fang Wuwei simply took out a healing scroll to use, sat cross-legged on the ground, and at the same time wiped the blood clean from his Fu Chen Blade.
"Don't let your guard down. You should hurry and heal. It's not over yet."
"With you here, sir." Although Lion King said this with a smile, his movements were not slow at all; he continued to use the scrolls as needed.
After a short rest, the group decided to set off immediately and continue forward.
With a roar from Lion King, the entire tribe resumed its march, but they were no longer despairing, numb, and lifeless. Their eyes held hope, a longing for the future. Fang Wuwei's arrival had awakened their inner expectations for the future and their desire for life.
The group continued to advance. A whole day passed, and they were not harassed or attacked. This was almost unheard of for the Beastmen tribe. The ignorant Beastmen attributed all of this to Fang Wuwei, the divine messenger, the arrival of their Savior. From then on, the Beastmen's reverence for Fang Wuwei grew even stronger...
But the truth was... it really did have something to do with him. The exam was nearing its end, and there weren't many candidates left. This remaining group decided to deal with Fang Wuwei, this 'traitor,' and the Beastmen tribe first, then fight to the death.
An unprecedented and terrifying encirclement was brewing...
— — — — This is a somewhat frightening dividing line — — — —
Time passed bit by bit, but the remaining Reincarnators never showed themselves, which made Fang Wuwei wonder if he had killed them all and the rest were hiding like old rats.
At one point, Fang Wuwei wanted to go out hunting to quickly end this exam, as this was the true way to save the Beastmen tribe.
But soon, good news, or perhaps bad news, arrived...
"Enemy attack!!! Ene—"
Fang Wuwei, walking at the front of the team, heard a heart-wrenching roar from the back of the line from afar. In that instant, to Fang Wuwei's shame, a hint of excitement actually appeared in his heart.
Without thinking much, Fang Wuwei, holding his Fu Chen Blade, rushed to the back of the team, ready to face the enemy.
"Sir! Be careful!"
"Understood! Lion King, you continue to lead the team at the front!"
After a period of recuperation and with the help of healing scrolls, Lion King had mostly recovered his combat strength, except for a broken arm. Leading the team was not a problem.
To Fang Wuwei's surprise, that group of Reincarnators was surprisingly honorable. Only after Fang Wuwei arrived at the back of the team did a Reincarnator emerge from the forest.
"Hello, we meet again."
Fang Wuwei was familiar with the newcomer; it was Hans, the shovel man he had met earlier. Of course, he was now holding an axe instead of that broken entrenching tool.
Fang Wuwei ignored him, quietly looking deeper into the forest.
He knew there were people there.
As expected, a sharp arrow shot out from within, heading straight for Fang Wuwei's forehead, but it was blown away by his simple defensive spell.
This made the archer and other ADs who were behind him, ready to launch a sneak attack, frown. Arrows are ineffective? Then what's the point? Am I supposed to take a knife and fight him in melee? I'm an archer!
Huh? Maybe it's not impossible?
So, the archers pulled out their melee weapons and joined the melee unit...
"That's too cold, or have you forgotten me? I'm Hans!"
Hans hoisted his axe onto his shoulder. In his eyes, Fang Wuwei was still that weakling, unaware that he had undergone earth-shattering changes.
"Alright, Hans, stop wasting words with him. Deal with him quickly, then go handle that monster lion!"
A roar came from the forest, seemingly blaming Hans for being so slow, and also revealing disdain for Fang Wuwei in the words.
"Alright, alright, kid, I told you I'd kill you next time we met. Consider yourself unlucky. Who told you to be so sympathetic and help those bugs?"
Hans sighed, and his massive axe glowed with a blood-red light, dragging a trail of afterimages as it cleaved towards Fang Wuwei.
Unfortunately, it was too slow. In Fang Wuwei's eyes, this axe was too slow.
He merely twisted his body and easily dodged the attack, then slashed out with his blade. Instantly, blood gushed out; his neck was completely cut open. Although not beheaded, it made no difference.
The forest instantly fell silent. Hans clutched his neck, trying to reduce the gushing blood, staring at Fang Wuwei with an expression of disbelief, then slowly fell, his equipment scattering everywhere.
Dead silence.
Finally breaking the silence was a barrage of magic, dense as raindrops, pounding Fang Wuwei.
But soon, a figure charged out from the boundless magic. All magical attacks were completely dodged by him. Unlike Lion King, he would actively attack and was more agile. This kind of attrition warfare was almost useless against an assassin like him who had no worries.
On the other hand, the Reincarnators, seeing this person's power and active attacking, the melee unit began to panic. No one wanted to die; every single one started to retreat, fearing they would be the next to die.
However, if these Reincarnators were to fight to the death, consuming Fang Wuwei's strength and stamina, they would be able to kill Fang Wuwei on the spot.
Unfortunately, Reincarnators are Reincarnators after all. Selfishness is ingrained in their bones and will follow them to their graves.
Fang Wuwei met almost no resistance as he charged into the magic unit. Amidst fear, panic, and chaos in their eyes, a one-sided massacre began.
But soon, Fang Wuwei's blade was blocked. Although the person who blocked him was sent flying by his powerful blow, it still bought the mage unit some time to retreat.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
Fang Wuwei roared, activating Quick Braking. Everyone only saw an afterimage charging towards the mage unit and thought, "This is bad." Looking back, they saw that the mage unit had been completely annihilated.
So swift, so terrifying.
A chill ran down everyone's spine. This person was definitely stronger and more troublesome than that lion.
They definitely didn't want to fight him. The melee unit felt as if they had eaten dirt; if they faced him, they would surely die, regardless of whether they could win.
Run, definitely run. Run until the opponent kills everyone, until only 50 people are left to quickly end the exam! Anyway, most of the remaining people are here!
I don't need to run far, I just need to run faster than others!
Having figured this out, the Reincarnators who were fleeing at top speed began to trip each other, intending to run ahead of others and let Fang Wuwei kill those behind them.
With such an enthusiastic invitation, how could Fang Wuwei bear to refuse? The smile on his face almost overflowed to the sky; he was practically laughing his head off. Fang Wuwei gladly accepted the tripped Reincarnators, killing as many as came.
Anyway, none of these guys will escape in the end! Hehehehehe!
Looking at the Reincarnators in front of him, almost in a straight line, tripping each other, blocking others' paths with their bodies, and even starting to kill each other, Fang Wuwei immediately imbued his blade with Imposing Might, and a Lightning Arrow, gilded with gold, shot out. Piercing attacks always worked well against things lined up like this.
In an instant, a dozen people fell, and loot exploded everywhere, but no one dared to move. Are you kidding? That killing god was watching from behind.
But they ran fast, and Fang Wuwei was even faster. Under Quick Braking, the last charge of Imposing Might was used to its extreme by Fang Wuwei. With a horizontal slash, he dragged a dazzling golden-red blade light that swept past them at an incredibly high speed. In a flash, countless heads fell, and the ground was densely covered with a dazzling array of loot.
Fang Wuwei stopped because he noticed that the remaining Reincarnators who were still alive had faces full of relief, lingering fear, and undisguised, naked hatred for Fang Wuwei. He knew that fewer than fifty people remained, the exam was over, and they could leave, which was why they were so... arrogant?
But Fang Wuwei had said that none of these guys would escape, because... his system, which had been gone since chapter 27, finally spoke after being dormant for 16 chapters.
"Please, Host, kill all remaining Reincarnators. The exit has been locked; they cannot retreat."
Although the first thing it did was issue a mission, which made him a little unhappy...
