Chapter 123
Chapter 123: Chapter 123 I Want Five Shares!
Chu Yunsheng had around 60 bullets. It included the bullets Lu Guolong gave to him. When the first wave retreated, his bullets were reduced to 10.
Outside the wall, the insects’ bodies had already piled up against the wall. It formed a slope made of the insects’ bodies. It was such a ghastly sight!
In the dim light, they could see that there were still a lot of insects outside the wall, but the number of dark warriors that were able to fight inside the wall has reduced.
The casualties at the South wall, where Chu Yunsheng was staying, have increased. There were already 6 people dead, and 10 people injured. The death rate was almost as high as one-fifth of the total number! The situations on the other three walls were even worse.
“Brother, I am begging you, just kill me!” begged a skinny Rank-1 dark warrior, whose legs were cut off by an insect, the witch had already healed his wound, but she could not restore his legs.
“Gang Zi, without legs, I will still take care of you! Don’t fucking give up!” said the South wall’s team leader, he was holding the dark warrior, who lost his legs, and his eyes filled with blood vessels.
The dark warrior, who lost his leg gave him a hollow smile, then he suddenly grabbed a team member’s handgun and pointed the gun at his head. He was panting heavily, and his chest was moving violently ups and downs. There were tears running down from his face.
“Bang!”
“Gang Zi!”
A loud and clear sound of gunshot took away his half broken life. It was like a knife stabbing into everyone’s hearts. They seemed to see what was coming to them.
The death was within reach. All the dark warriors were depressed. With just one wave of the insects’ attack, it could cause everyone to look like this. What about the second and the third wave. How could they hold the defence line?
Breakout was their only hope.
Chu Yunsheng already had a word with the witch privately. He had already seen two big groups start to move the grains. They were preparing the breakout.
“Five shares! Are you crazy!” even Shen Shaoze, who was always calm, also lost his composure, when he heard the witch’s request. From three shares to five shares within just this short period of time. This woman definitely lost her mind.
“That’s right, five shares. It is not her who asks for it, it is me,” said Chu Yunsheng when he came out from the witch’s back.
Originally he thought that those people would give up the food and start to break out straight away. Then he would have a chance to take it all.
Now he finally understood how greed could kill a man! Those people still wanted to take the food with them.
But then again, that was also the reason why they were here. They would not be rewarded unless they took the risk. They must have already considered the possibility that the insects might attack them.
More importantly, towards the north of the granary depot, there was a big river. The bridge was still there. So as long as they could break out from there, and destroy the bridge in time, they would be able to slow down the insects’ chase.
“Witch, it is not the time for you to play around, if you carry on messing around, don’t blame us for being unfriendly!” Zhu Lingdie said coldly. At this time, she and Shen Shaoze had the same feelings.
She didn’t pay much attention to this man who came out of nowhere. A Rank-two dark warrior, even if he was a fire warrior, how powerful could his attack be!
She didn’t want to seek help from the 13th master and the fire or the wind master, who were having a break in the basement after the fight with a golden-shelled insect. If she relied on them to do everything, how would she be able to control the Northern district in the future?
“I said, it’s me, not her! According to your rule, defeating one of your Rank-3, will get 3 shares. I’m now challenging two of your rank-3. I’ll take five!” Chu Yunsheng said with a determined voice.
He did not have an intimidating background nor a powerful group. If he wanted to have five shares, he needed to show them his strength.
Although the amount of grain was very attractive, Chu Yunsheng didn’t lose his mind. They had five Rank-3 dark warriors in total, and many Rank-2 dark warriors. They even had the wind master and the fire master. If they all started to fight him together, he might end up heavily injured, it was definitely not going to be worth it.
Since Shen Shaoze had a bet with the witch, why not use this chance to get more grian. That was his plan.
His word shocked everyone. Apart from the witch, who was still calm at the moment, everyone was looking at Chu Yunsheng as if he was an idiot.
‘A Rank-2 dark warrior wants to challenge a rank-3 dark warrior. And he wants to challenge two of them? Is this guy stupid or something?’
But Shen Shaoze’s pupils suddenly constricted. He was born to a high-ranking official’s family, and he was taught to not judge someone by their looks. Although Chu Yunsheng did not look intimidating, he looked determined and not afraid.
The witch, who was standing next to him, also did not show any sign that she wanted to stop him.
He did not know why the man was so confident, the only reason he could think of was that the rank-two badge he had was fake!
But then he immediately gave up this idea. Higher ranking meant more power and more food! If he could easily deal with two Rank-3 dark warriors, it meant that he was at least in Rank-3 Jia-class, and he was as powerful as the leader of the biggest gang in the Southern district.
However, it was just Shen Shaoze being cautious to strangers. Deep inside his mind, he still tended to look at Chu Yunsheng as a stupid young man who didn’t know any better.
If the man wanted a challenge, then he just needed to arrange someone to teach him a lesson. If this man really hid his power, then they would be able to get an answer very soon. But if he wanted to do it, he definitely would drag Zhu Lingdie down with him.
“Lady Zhu, since he insisted, why don’t we send one of our guys to play with him!” Shen Shaoze said leisurely. As a member of a big gang in the Southern district, of course, he wouldn’t back off from the challenge, otherwise, his reputation would be at risk.
“This is exactly what I have in mind!” she smiled. She had seen Shen Shaoze change facial expressions, so she knew what exactly he wanted to do. However, since they were on the same boat, she did not mind his little silly plan. She did not believe that a Rank-2 dark warrior would defeat two Rank-3 dark warriors, even if the man hid his power.
The crowd immediately scattered and formed a big circle. Rank-3 dark warriors’ attacks were very powerful, once they were injured, they couldn’t complain to anyone.
“Time is limited, there are still insects outside, you two can fight me together! ” Chu Yunsheng drew the gun and said to the short dark warrior and the tall dark warrior that had been sent out by Shen Shaoze and Zhu Lingdie.
“Punk, don’t get cocky!” The tall dark warrior had dark skin, small eyes, and sharp voice. He already felt humiliated when Shen Shaoze asked him to come out. And now Chu Yunsheng’s words made him feel even more humiliated.
He jumped forward instantly while one of his fists was punched forward to cast out a fire blast!
Although they were not at the same rank, in this world, the first attack was usually the strongest. No one was stupid enough to reserve their strength to give the opponent a chance to counterattack, because everyone understood one thing, even a lion tried to catch a rabbit, it would use all its strength(1).
A Rank-3 dark warrior’s mighty blow could totally kill a full-grown red-shelled insect!
Also, this tall dark warrior’s ability belonged to the strongest element, the fire element, so his power could only be stronger, not weaker!
Chu Yunsheng wanted to finish this battle as quickly as possible, so he did not dodge the attack. Instead, he walked towards the tall dark warrior, a step by step.
At the same time, he began to fire his gun.
“Bang!”
The bullet hit the fire blast, the impact instantly caused a fire cloud, sending many fire sparkles everywhere.
After the first impact, the dragon-shaped fire blast still carried on pushing towards Chu Yunsheng.
Then a strange thing happened, and it made everyone gasp in shock.
Chu Yunsheng was not knocked back by the fire blast like everyone had expected him to. He did not even get burned. He was still making big steps towards the tall dark warrior as if no one could stop him!
“It is not possible! How come a Rank-2 dark warrior could stop this kind of attack!” A man shouted.
“He is not Rank-2! Definitely not!” Shen Shaoze’s face instantly fell.
The tall dark warrior was also stunned. He did not expect Chu Yunsheng would survive the fire blast, and he was not even injured!
“Bang!”
Another gunshot!
A small fire cloud burst out from the dark warrior’s chest. He immediately moved back for several steps. At the same time, he quickly gathered his energy to stop the bullet, which was still spinning on his chest.
“Bang!”
Another gunshot! The tall dark warrior did not even have time to react. He staggered back a few steps again.
“Bang!”
Another shot, one after another, closely pressing towards the tall dark warrior.
The tall dark warrior did not have time to dodge the attack. He was hit and knocked over on the ground. His mouth was filled with blood, and the bullets had already burned his skin. It almost went into his body.
All the dark warriors around them had a chill down to their spine. A Rank-3 dark warrior was continuously pushed back by a Rank-2 dark warrior, who was just using a gun. The Rank-2 dark warrior was not even injured during the fight. Moreover, the Rank-3 dark warrior did not even have a chance to fight back!
“Firing a gun continuously! And the power of each bullet did not even reduce, how did he do that!” Shen Shaoze was shocked. When he saw Chu Yunsheng was still pressing forward. He immediately turned around and said coldly to Zhu Lingdie, “what is wrong with your man?!”
Shao Shenze gritted his teeth very hard. He wanted to see how strong this man was!
The short dark warrior, who was originally being modest and standing on the side near the spectating circle. Now, he did not even need anyone to urge him. He was running out of his patience.
Originally he thought that this tall dark warrior would defeat this young man just by himself. He didn’t think that the tall dark warrior needed his assistance. Otherwise, even if they won the fight, it was still an embarrassment to have two Rank-3 dark warriors bullying a Rank-2 dark warrior. But now? If they lost the fight, it would be even more humiliating.
- A Lion tries to catch a rabbit, it will use all its strength.
It is a Chinese idiom used to express that no matter how trivial the matter is, do the best of you can.
