The Fighting Shovel Armour is constantly defeated in front of the Monstrous Grass.
However, in the Eastern Continent, the developed ones are rampant, and even the local snake, the Flaming Chicken, has a hard time dealing with them, and a large part of the forest is occupied by the Fighting Spade Armour.
Lu Yao overlooked the eastern continent, and after observing the battle between the Fighting Spade Armour and the Flaming Chicken, he understood the reason for this.
The Flaming Chicken’s flames would cause mandatory blood damage to the beetles, but the Fighting Spade Beetle had the absolute upper hand in a physical fight. As a melee system, the Fighting Spade Beetle had always relied on its armour and strength to survive, and a fire elemental creature like the Flaming Chicken didn’t dare to get too close.
In addition, the fighting spade armour could fly, the fiery chicken often created flames, the fighting spade armour took off and landed in other safe zones, and was not greatly threatened.
The real tragedy is the surrounding melon eaters, they are somehow chased by the fire, field mice and monkeys such as animals, accidentally home was burned away.
After the fires, it takes a while for grass and trees to grow again.
The two transcendental creatures killed each other, and it was the ordinary animals that were hurt the most.
Against this backdrop, the Flaming Chicken crossed the mountains and went to the [Egil’s Fire] in the Western Continent to bring in heavyweight reinforcements, the Mad Inferno Bird.
The Berserk Birds had excellent flying abilities and were much larger in size. They doubly suppressed the Fighting Spade Armour in terms of rank and speed, treating it as prey.
As the Berserkers entered the Eastern Continent, the surge in the number of Fighting Stag beetles was compressed, and a delicate balance was once again reached on the land.
With the arrival of the Fighting Spade Armour, the external ecology of the Eastern Continent also changed.
The most intuitive are the pixelated little people.
They used to avoid the fiery turkeys and were wary in areas infested with such cranky creatures. And with the advent of the bucket and spade beetle, they’ve learned to meander through beetle territory.
Although the Fighting Stag Beetle was also a cranky old brother, as long as they were given food, they didn’t think it mattered. Unlike the fiery turkeys, one look at it would result in being chased, pecked and sprayed with fire.
Lu Yao focused on the two little people on the grassland.
Of the two pixelated villains, the one wearing a broad-brimmed hat and carrying a bundle was [Hunting Rain], who had been stolen by the Yeti for crying. The other old man with no top and a ring of garlic tied around his neck was the Grand Elder of the Bitter Cult Society [Salt Long], who hadn’t been seen for a while.
An old man and a young man had somehow come together.
Lu Yao continued to observe.
A dialogue box appeared on Hunting Rain’s head, “You still have injuries on your body, it’s dangerous to stay here any longer, there are more and more monsters here. Don’t go further in, I’ll send you to the ship.”
Saltcue says, “Life and death are both part of the practice. Thank you for your kindness and for treating me, go now, this place is already populated by monsters.”
Hunting Rain wondered, “Why must you fight the monsters here?”
“In the face of the transcendent creatures, humans cannot keep hiding under the wings and care of the gods, as a servant and follower of the Yao God, I will practice this first step.”
“……”
Hunting Rain turned back and left.
Lu Yao realised that she was just hiding far behind, seemingly uneasy.
Salt Long, on the other hand, had a ghost symbol above his head, and looked to be on the verge of a major death.
The old man walks in silence towards the depths of the land, not far from where the Fighting Shovel Armour is.
Spotting the intruder, a burly LV10 Spade Armour charged all the way over.
The Salt Long rank had come to Lv15, which could be considered the current top of the Yao Clan humans. However, he was not a combat type, with only 2 points of attack and a high 7 points of defence instead.
The old man was in a head-on physical fight with Spade Armour, displaying [Battle in progress].
Lu Yao cut into the battle interface.
Facing the Spade Armour’s jaw horns, Saltjou held both jaw horns with both hands, both horns striking.
Unlike what Lu Yao thought, the old man Salt Long’s fighting style was very rough and hardcore. Without any frills, he went head to head with the beetle that specialised in strength, holding and punching.
Although the Spade Beetle’s attacks were unable to break through Saltjou’s defences, Saltjou’s attacks were equally unable to help his opponent. Only the occasional lucky bludgeon would cause each other to forcibly deduct -1 blood.
The confrontation between the two sides turned into a stalemate that was purely a contest of will and ruthlessness.
Humans and bugs were at odds with each other, fighting with fire, constantly consuming each other’s physical strength and blood.
In the end, Salt Long consumed more than half of his life value and killed the Fighting Spade Armour with a hard punch.
The old man gasped for breath and a weak expression surfaced on the top of his head.
A new enemy, however, had approached silently.
A white Mad Inferno Bird descended from the sky. It waved its wings and ignited flames on the grass, locking both the old man in the middle and the spade-armoured corpse inside.
The flames spread across the grassland, causing Hunting Rain’s hands to scramble in the distance, and he had to hide on top of the stone pestle.
The LV16 Berserk Inferno Bird hovered in the air, watching the humans and insect corpses on the ground being consumed by the fire little by little.
Saltjou seemed to be too tired, and he sat motionless next to the spade-armoured corpses, refusing to leave until the flames wrapped around him.
Seeing this, the Mad Flame Bird then lightly dropped down and began to gnaw on the beetle corpse.
Upon this landing, it immediately displayed [Battle in progress] above its head.
In the battle screen, the Berserk Inferno Bird was grabbed by the wings of the fire-bursting Shiojyu, and the two sides were writhing on the ground in a tumbling ball of fire.
The blood levels of both combatants continued to drop.

……
A series of damage values popped out crazily above the heads of Saltcue and the Berserk Inferno Bird.
This deathmatch was even more tragic than the last one.
When the Mad Inferno Bird died, while Saltcue’s blood level was already less than 30 points, his life value was still dropping due to being burned by the flames, and his combat data panel was halved due to [Weakness].
The old man was barely standing with smoke coming out of his body, “This is my prey.”
Hunting Rain ran all the way over to him to treat his wounds.
“No need.”
A dialogue box popped up above Salt Long’s head, “Please go back and tell everyone that human potential is not inferior to them in the slightest. Don’t be lazy and practice diligently ……”
In the distance, more Berserk Inferno Birds rushed towards the area.
An exclamation mark lit up on Hunting Rain’s head, and an expression of fear surfaced.
“Finished! There’s no escape! These damnable arsonists! I haven’t even collected my beehives yet, and I haven’t even made my honey wine yet ……”
The sea of fire was coming from all directions, about to engulf the two little people.
Lu Yao clicked the mouse.
The Miracle [Rainfall] fell and instantly extinguished all the flames.
At the same time, wand-riding Isabelle appeared, her holy sword emerging in her hand, and looked towards the flock of birds, “Stand down.”
As soon as the apostle appeared, the flock of birds immediately scattered in all directions without looking back.
Having accomplished this, Isabel quietly left again.
A big smiley face appeared above Hunting Rain’s head, “Saved!”
“It’s Miss Isabelle, actually being able to see the Apostle descend with your own eyes! You are the one who is favoured by the gods.”
Instead, Salt Long knelt on the ground and pressed his head against the ground, “Yao God-sama, thank you for your kindness and mercy …… allowing me to be able to comprehend the Holy Stigma at the end of my life ……”
Lu Yao said in his heart that there was no need to be polite.
Luck is a reward for the brave.
A new tip popped up in the simulator.
–Great God, there is a devotee who has performed a feat far beyond his peers, is it necessary to convert him into a hero?
[Yes] [No].
A shimmering light shines from the old salt long.
Lu Yao nodded [Yes] cheerfully this time.
After Old Salt Jiu became a hero, the ghost symbol above his head disappeared without a trace, and his [Weakness] status was wiped out.
The entire person seemed to have grown younger!
Salt Long silently prayed, “God above, I swear that the rest of my life will continue the journey of cultivation, never backing down or stopping. Use my fists and stigmata to fight all the transcendent monsters of this world one by one, spreading your faith and glory to prove the path of humanity.”
Lu Yao’s brows furrowed, something wasn’t right about Salt Long.
In the past, he was a solid scholarly ascetic, focusing on pilgrimage and comprehension, but now how did he turn into an Iron Fist Cultivator?
