My lord, spare his life!

Wow, you have an interesting head.

Zhang Yang had just finished his respectful remark about the descent of the stars, when the next second he saw the back of the head that should have been facing him suddenly turn into the face of the current leader. This bastard had actually twisted his neck 180 degrees without Zhang Yang being prepared!

One hundred and eighty degrees!

He even gave Zhang Yang a sinister sneer.

The oncoming claws forced Zhang Yang to lean back to dodge, but his body, perched on the current leader's wing, remained perfectly still. Seriously, even with the accuracy maximized in the observation sample, Zhang Yang could successfully dodge; how much more so with a not-so-bright bird-man: [What kind of structure is your neck, you bird-man? How can you twist your head so big?]

Although Zhang Yang could do it too, she would need to cut off his head first. She knew that some birds, such as owls, could twist their necks more than two hundred degrees, and other birds probably had similar abilities, but wasn't the bird-man in front of her already successfully transformed?

How can he still maintain such a flexible neck?

How amazing! I wonder what the structure would be after dissection.

The current leader, having failed in his first attack, pressed his advantage, unable to tolerate Zhang Yang continuing to perch on his wings. However, the more he forbade it, the more interested Zhang Yang became. Shifting left and right, jumping back and forth, the current leader was forced to spin in place by Zhang Yang, and after several rotations, his anger finally exploded. A surge of immense star power erupted from his wings, and he soared into the sky, transforming into a black and red raptor.

Zhang Yang was also pushed dozens of feet away.

A raptor cried out, and birds within a hundred miles scattered in panic.

Zhang Yang raised his eyes, coldly gazing at the raptor's silhouette, its wings spread wide, appearing behind the current leader and resembling a black and red flame. His eyes noticeably brightened. Above the raptor's head was an incredibly long health bar: 300 million!

She's been in this world for quite some time now, and the longest and thickest health bar she's ever seen belongs to Ge Zhou. But even Ge Zhou, the tankiest guy, only has a little over 200 million health points. This BOSS's summoned beast, on the other hand, has a health bar starting with 300 million! You should know that even in the game world, this number is only occasionally seen after sixteen years of operation and updates.

A few days before Zhang Yang's transmigration, he overheard the observation samples discussing the new level issue. Apparently, in order to balance the classes and solve the problem of inflated stats, the game planners simply implemented a level cap reduction event for players, preparing to return to the starting point of the game for the next level.

To see another boss with hundreds of millions of health points in the future, we'll have to wait another fifteen or sixteen years. The game world has already been nerfed, yet there are still red-named characters with 300 million health points in the real world—it's simply outrageous.

Another cry.

The giant turkey behind the current leader opened its eyes.

Its eyes were dark and lifeless, yet when it slightly lowered its head, Zhang Yang was certain it was looking at her. Seeing Zhang Yang remain silent, the current leader assumed she was intimidated and sneered, "Human, if you leave now, I'll spare your life."

So, this is your biggest trump card.

Whether it was because her [Strategy] had improved or because she was getting nostalgic, Zhang Yang inappropriately recalled a certain observation sample. Zhang Yang had played two seasons of the game arena with this observation sample. When the opponent had all their ultimate moves, she would threaten to kill them, but if she played her only trump card, the opponent would feign ignorance and say they would let her go.

This is a common scam tactic.

[As my friend once said, strike while the iron is hot, and villains die from talking too much.] Zhang Yang, expressionless, slightly tilted his head back to look at the current leader, whose complexion was not good. Although he was being looked down upon, his gaze was as if he were looking down on ants at his feet. [If you really had the ability to kill me, you would have done it without saying a word, and killed me with one blow, instead of pretending to show your mercy.]

The current leader remained silent.

But the health bar above his head had turned a dark red, and the aura around the giant turkey behind him was beginning to stir and boil.

After a long silence, he parted his thin lips slightly.

[Fine, if she won't listen to reason, she'll have to suffer the consequences. Kill her!]

With a wave of his hand, the current leader unleashed a barrage of super-sized turkeys that transformed into a shower of fireballs, hurtling towards Zhang Yang. Each blazing fireball contained a tiny, huddled bird! They missed their target and crashed into the water, exploding upon contact with the surface.

A column of water, billowing with scalding white steam, shot into the sky.

Zhang Yang: [...]

Looking at the dense, overwhelming red health bars in her field of vision, some distant memories flooded back. She remembered a dungeon boss whose skill also summoned minions, and those minions were all slugs. Thousands upon thousands of slugs, piled up like mountains, writhing and screaming as they surged towards the players. Not only did they deal high damage, but they were also incredibly visually disturbing.

Even a zombie apocalypse wasn't this terrifying.

Besides the slug swarm, there's also the snake pit dungeon where you fight snakes. Thousands of brightly colored snakes intertwine, coiling around players like ghosts as they enter and exit the dungeon, creating a psychological nightmare for many.

After exiting these two dungeons, many players found the previously mindless, dried-up zombies to be quite attractive.

The giant turkey's target was Zhang Yang herself, but after two rounds of attacks, it found her to be incredibly slippery, unable to even touch her clothes. Instead, the warships below were accidentally damaged by the fireballs. Even though these warships were fireproof, this special flame could not only burn but also explode, and there were so many of them that several warships caught fire in no time, including both friendly and enemy ships.

The soldiers did not stop their attack upon seeing this.

Yuan Xie changed his strategy at the last minute, ordering his soldiers to lure the enemy warships towards the burning ships, and also having dolphins and killer whales exert their power underwater. He felt the cool breeze on the river: [The wind direction is good today.]

This wind direction is favorable to our side.

The fire spread rapidly. The boatmen of Zhao Chai's warships were the last to notice the fire on the deck, realizing the dire situation only when thick smoke flooded the cabins. They tried to change course, but all their efforts were in vain; the warships were forced to move closer to the fire: [It's underwater! Something's causing trouble underwater!]

If the root cause isn't addressed, the only option left is to abandon ship and jump overboard.

Some of the better swimmers jumped into the water, and what they saw next was the most horrifying sight of their lives. The elite soldiers who were supposed to be working with the navy to sabotage enemy ships were now floating headfirst, feet down, their feet bound by ropes resembling black seaweed, swaying precariously beneath the surface of the river. It wasn't just one person, but nearly a hundred!

The soldiers then discovered a huge shadow beneath their own warship.

The enemy, carrying or pushing, led the warships toward the source of the fire.

The soldiers realized that this was the culprit.

Just as he was about to sneak up and kill them, his feet suddenly tightened.

The soldier looked down and saw a clump of black seaweed-like rope emerging from the depths of the water. The other end of the rope was connected to the head of the drifter. The drifter grinned maliciously, its mouth twisting to its ears, and swam towards him along the black seaweed. The horrifying sight made the soldier's heart skip a beat, and he almost forgot he was still in the water, nearly getting river water into his mouth and nose.

He tried to dive into the water as if he were fleeing.

Until a cold hand landed on his shoulder.

In a daze, I heard the river drifter weeping mournfully in the water, uttering a mocking tone that was neither male nor female: "My love, it's cold and lonely underwater, stay and keep me company."

【Hmm!】

Something wrapped around his neck, contracting sharply and forcefully, the intense feeling of suffocation almost bursting his eyeballs.

He opened his mouth, and countless bubbles of all sizes gushed out.

As consciousness faded, what flashed through his mind was not his life experiences, but images of killing alongside his commander. Robbery, arson, murder, and plunder were their daily routine. If they were in a good mood, they might spare a victim; if they were in a bad mood, they would kill and dump the body anywhere.

If it's a massacre of a city, the bodies are thrown into the moat.

They didn't care whether the animal was dead or alive before throwing it in.

They all died in the end anyway.

[Archers, listen to my command, fire!]

Arrows rained down like a tide, streaking across the sea of ​​fire like shooting stars, heading straight for their targets. At first, the two sides were able to exchange fire evenly, but as wave after wave of arrows rained down, Zhao Chai's navy clearly couldn't keep up and was gradually suppressed.

Behind the ballista window of the warship.

The archer clutched his empty quiver, his face suddenly turning grim. Ignoring the stuffy, noisy cabin, he cried out hoarsely, "Arrows! We're out of arrows! Good heavens, this is unbelievable! Just how many supplies do these bandits have?!"

It flows endlessly, as if it were inexhaustible.

It's important to know that an arrow isn't cheap to make; the process of producing each arrow is not only complicated but also time-consuming. They were already quite wealthy to have so many arrows, and they had to be careful with their use. The bandits opposite, however, seemed to be living a life of luxury, maintaining the same steady firing rate.

This means that not only are there plenty of arrows, but also plenty of manpower.

As they were cursing, the warship suddenly rocked a few times.

The archer stumbled and lost his balance.

Just then, he looked out of the crossbow window and saw a huge, thick tail. Before he could figure out what kind of animal the tail belonged to, it fell towards him! It rapidly magnified before his eyes, and the supposedly sturdy crossbow window shattered without even withstanding a single blow, smashing the archer into a bloody mess, killing him instantly.

The orca girl wanted to add another tail.

The sudden attack made it wary and it changed the direction of its tail swing.

[You beast, stop!]

The visitor stared intently, then exclaimed in astonishment: "An orca?!"

There are countless marine creatures, but orcas definitely stand out, not because of their monstrous nature, nor because of their aloofness on the ground, nor even because of their martial spirit in gang fights, but because of their natural skin.

The classic black and white color scheme has no other colors visible.

He has a kind of sleazy look about him.

Therefore, the newcomer immediately recognized the orca girl's species. However, recognizing her immediately raised an even bigger problem. The newcomer instantly realized the gravity of the situation: "You beast, how dare you betray your allies! What has the Lord done wrong to you?!"

Orcas are not common.

Orcas coming ashore are even rarer.

Due to their nature and the scarcity of food, most star beasts possess an extremely strong sense of territory. Since there's already a pod of orcas in Jiukan, another pod can't possibly get too close.

The orca before them was undoubtedly from Jiukan. This orca, which should have been an ally of Zhao Chai, was instead helping the traitors attack them. What does this mean? Need I explain? Jiukan had broken the alliance and betrayed Zhao Chai!

Orca Girl: [You've mistaken an orca for a real orca.]

Do you think I'm stupid?!

Seeing that the other party didn't believe her, the orca girl had no choice but to say: "Since you're not willing to be a fool, then you can be a dead person!"

Zhang Yang had a partnership with three orcas, who helped him ram enemy warships and were paid a ransom based on the number of warships sunk. The orca girl diligently rammed the ships, avoiding attacking the humans on board, but Zhao Chai's men were blind enough to expose her true identity.

Since that's the case, then we have no choice but to silence them.

Jiu Kan didn't break ties with Zhao Chai.

The orca girl's desperate act was seen as a provocation by the newcomer, who charged forward without a word. The massive impact of their clash caused the already teetering warship to sink even faster. The orca girl transformed into a temporary human form, hooked a weapon without its master with the back of her foot, and tore off a half-burnt battle flag with one hand, wrapping it around herself.

He displays his starting stance: [Come on!]

The attackers came on floating logs on the river, intending to assassinate the person.

Driven by immense rage, the newcomer no longer held back, frantically channeling his stellar energy into his arms and weapons. He roared, unleashing it all from head to toe without reservation! The orca girl blocked his path with a cold smile.

What are you babbling about?

The orca girl's playful expression vanished, replaced by a chilling killing intent. This dwarf before her was no match for Zhang Boyuan, that evil little dwarf. Even with a full-force attack, he couldn't match the orca's innate strength advantage, let alone suppress it.

The orca girl stood motionless on the driftwood, as immovable as a mountain.

Instead, the attack sent the man flying over a hundred feet away, smashing through the hull of a warship in its path and creating a hole over ten feet in size.

[Damn it, you #@￥%……Aim carefully before you hit!]

Seeing such a large hole, Bi Gong felt heartbroken that he was bleeding.

To repair such a large gap, the wood needed must be quite old, and the older the wood, the more expensive it is. Bi Gong's roar sent a chill down the orca girl's spine, and she subconsciously thought of the evil dwarves—these were all the evil dwarves' property. What if they reneged on the debt and pinned the repair costs on her? When would this debt ever be settled? Immediately, she changed her tactics.

I also threw a water balloon at the dolphins that were nearby.

What are you laughing at, you clueless dead dolphin!

In the sky, the fireball attacks were not as dense as they had been at the beginning.

Zhang Yang's weapon changed from a gold brick to a golden staff, which was about half a person's height, thick and round at one end and narrow and long at the other. Zhang Yang wielded the staff so skillfully that it was impenetrable, smashing the fireballs in its path back with a crackling sound.

It could either be thrown at the current leader or at other fireballs.

[The birdman's brain really isn't big.]

During the break, Zhang Yang slung the golden baseball bat over his shoulder.

If a normal person realized they couldn't hit the target no matter what they did, they would have changed tactics long ago. But this bird-like creature wouldn't stop until it had blown Zhang Yang up. Zhang Yang suspected that the creature wasn't some kind of transformed star beast, but rather a ball-serving machine that had come to life.

Your blue bar is almost empty, are you still coming?

The health bar relates to health and mana, while the mana bar relates to fancy skills, which in this world would be called "star power".

Zhang Yang twirled the golden baseball bat in his hand.

[The blue bar is almost empty; now the health bar should be almost empty.]

The current leader's health bar is meticulously trimmed down to a sliver of health, leaving him half-dead, before Zhang Daji swallows him whole.
