However, Cheng Jiyuan and his group soon realized they were wrong, as they had no chance to make a move along the way.

"These mechanical blade demons are incredibly versatile!"

Sun Shuo stared wide-eyed at the scene unfolding not far ahead, and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, his tone filled with disbelief.

The passage leading deeper into the lair was far from smooth. Silver-clad human monsters frequently emerged from other areas, attempting to block their path. But against the mechanical blade demons, these monsters were utterly powerless to resist.

These mechanical bladed demons possess immense strength, high defense, astonishing speed, and remarkable combat intelligence.

With these terrifying monsters around, it seems like all they really need to do is simply "follow the group."

Make a move? Are they even worthy?

The combined combat power of all of them is probably no match for any single mechanical blade demon.

This realization brings with it a complex mix of relief and loss.

"So... Senior Kagami didn't bring us along just to find some cannon fodder?"

"Judging from this situation... we probably aren't even qualified to be cannon fodder."

These "summoned creatures" of our seniors are far more useful than us useless trash.

Sun Shuo realized that this time he was probably going to be a passive winner.

"Still a happy, passive winner..."

"Winning without effort is a temporary pleasure."

"Always winning effortlessly, always having a blast."

Sun Shuo had changed his equipment and supplies several times.

He kept losing things and picking them up, then losing them again. He couldn't bear to part with this, but he wanted that too. There was just too much good stuff, so he could only choose the smallest, most valuable items he could find.

The Blade Demons obtained a large amount of loot from killing monsters, and Sean naturally had the first choice of loot.

However, he would only pick up one or two items each time, leaving the rest for others to distribute among themselves.

Sun Shuo still feels unreal to this day.

He had never fought such an easy and unbelievable battle in his entire life.

But there was one person whose gains were greater than all of them combined.

Sun Shuo glanced at Cheng Jiyuan, who was trying to control a silver knight not far away.

At this moment, Cheng Jiyuan was squatting next to a silver knight who was being held down on the ground by several mechanical blade demons and was struggling.

His hands were pressed lightly on the other's metal helmet, attempting to forcibly control the will of this elite monster whose powerful mount and knight were one.

Along the way, they encountered more than a dozen Silver Knights, most of whom became Cheng Jiyuan's tamed beasts.

"I really don't know why Senior Mirror is so good to Lao Liu..."

Every time Sean encounters a Silver Knight, he has the Mechanical Blade Demon subdue the Silver Knight and then hand him over to Cheng Jiyuan for control, turning him into his tamed beast.

Sun Shuo watched as Cheng Jiyuan, with the tacit approval and assistance of his "senior," once again successfully imprinted his mental energy into the body of the silver knight.

The ferocious look in the Silver Knight's eyes gradually transformed into obedience. Another Silver Knight had been successfully controlled by Cheng Jiyuan. Next, he only needed to use a series of professional methods to transform the Silver Knight into his own tamed beast.

Sun Shuo felt a pang of sadness, fearing his brother would suffer, yet also fearing his brother would drive a Land Rover – that was probably the feeling he was experiencing.

Cheng Jiyuan was his childhood friend, his half-brother. They'd always had a good relationship; otherwise, he wouldn't have accompanied Cheng Jiyuan on this trip. He was also quite concerned about Cheng Jiyuan's desire to advance to a B-rank hero.

He was willing to go through fire and water, and even risk his life, to help his brother achieve this goal.

This near-fatal incident is proof of that.

But these are all Silver Knights! This is the top-tier "troop" template that C-rank heroes dream of!

Its value is immeasurable.

Watching his brothers effortlessly "subdue" one powerful Silver Knight after another, as if manna had fallen from the sky, a force that would give their entire squad a headache, their strength skyrocketed.

Sun Shuo couldn't help but feel jealous.

"How can the difference between people be so great? Compared to Cheng Laoliu, in what way am I, Sun Laosan, lacking?"

"Does he deserve it?"

"Senior! This kid isn't worthy! Senior!"

"That kid, he's not a good person!"

"well……"

Sun Shuo sighed inwardly and forced himself to look away.

These silver knights, averaging around level 29, were already top-tier combatants among C-rank monsters. After becoming Cheng Jiyuan's tamers, their strength will increase further, not to mention the aura they possess.

The combined aura of more than a dozen Silver Knights, along with their own strength.

Even though Cheng Jiyuan has not yet successfully advanced to B-level warrior, his true strength has already far exceeded the range of ordinary C-level peak, and is even enough to pose a fatal threat to many newly entered B-level powerhouses!

This isn't just "driving a Land Rover," it's practically a "tank horde"!

Sun Shuo took another deep breath, suppressing the turbulent emotions churning within him.

He was happy for his brother, genuinely happy.

But at the same time, he was also incredibly jealous.

"Why is it that such good luck is never meant for me, Sun Laosan?"

Surely Senior Jing isn't actually Cheng Jiyuan's biological father?

Sun Shuo was suddenly stunned.

Cheng Jiyuan and he grew up together, so of course he knew Cheng Jiyuan's father.

A mage skilled in fire control.

B-rank hero.

Last year, he even went to wish the old man a happy birthday.

"However... I remember that Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng had a big fight when I was a child."

He was too young to remember exactly what the argument was about, but he knew it might have been related to an uncle surnamed Wang. It seemed that Uncle Cheng and Uncle Wang, who arrived later, even got into a fight...

"Speaking of which, Cheng Jiyuan doesn't look much like Uncle Cheng."

In his memory, Uncle Cheng was a typical northern man, exceptionally tall and robust. Although Cheng Jiyuan was also tall and sturdy, he appeared much shorter and thinner compared to Uncle Cheng's "iron tower" physique.

"I think I heard that Uncle Wang... looks a lot like him."

His gaze suddenly swept back and forth between Cheng Jiyuan and Xiao En.

"These two people seem to be about the same height, and their body types are somewhat similar..."

He couldn't help but gasp. An absurd conjecture exploded in his mind like a thunderclap!

"This Senior Jing, could he be Uncle Wang?"

Otherwise, there's no way to explain why Senior Jing would treat Cheng Jiyuan with such special favor.

Sun Shuo didn't have a deep impression of that Uncle Wang. When they were very young, Uncle Wang disappeared during a field expedition.

Apart from knowing that Uncle Wang was a beast tamer, he knew almost nothing else about him.

Sun Shuo's breathing became rapid as he stared intently at Senior "Mirror's" profile, which was hidden by a mask.

If this is true...

That kid Cheng Jiyuan has really struck it rich! Their team might even benefit from it!
