CHAPTER 583: CHAPTER 400: WUU WUU WUU, MY KNIFE

This little guy, how can she be so heavy!

Outside the treehouse, after attacking, the winged dragon statue directly returned to the edge of the large pit and stood there again, looking hauntingly at the treehouse.

The remaining majority of the mutant creature statues once again began to move slowly, forming a circle around the treehouse.

Qin Fu and Lou Fei’Er saw that there were no conflicts outside for the time being and both came to Xu Xin’s side.

Qin Fu’s expression as he looked at Xu Xin was somewhat strange.

What did he just see?

Wasn’t it just him controlling the treehouse’s roots?

Could he actually control Lou Fei’Er’s treehouse?!

What kind of operation is this?

Could it be that this treehouse has already become his parasitic treehouse?

But that’s not right...

Lou Fei’Er is still on the list in Area 187, and her name on the rankings also shows Area 187.

This means that she is indeed still a person from Area 187.

How on earth was he able to directly control someone else’s main treehouse?

"Is she okay?" Lou Fei’Er squatted down next to Xu Xin and Zeng Tao.

They saw Zeng Tao lying on Xu Xin’s leg, her face somewhat pale.

Her consciousness was a bit blurred, her eyes half-open, with traces of blood at the corner of her mouth.

She was muttering with a slight sobbing tone: "Woo... my knife..."

Xu Xin was almost overwhelmed but also found it somewhat funny.

Still feeling sorry for her knife at this point?

"Is she that heavy?" Qin Fu, overcoming his thoughts, looked more interested in Xu Xin, and seeing Xu Xin try twice with his hands and then give up, raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Too heavy..." Xu Xin exerted all his strength, yet couldn’t lift this little one.

He almost put Zeng Tao back into the bracelet but resisted.

After all, Xiaohong was still inside his bracelet.

Although inside the belly of the treasure box monster, who knows what state the treasure box monster is in now.

If it was in a state of having its mouth wide open, it would be really inappropriate.

Using the bracelet would connect the two spaces, and Xiaohong’s location might be detected from the outside.

By that time, they might not just be testing like now.

But launch a direct attack!

He wasn’t afraid of the other statues, but the winged dragon, he truly had no ability to counter.

But this heavy little girl, really seemed to be about to break his leg!

Moreover, just now he even heard a "crack" sound from his leg.

Really...

"...You two, help me lift her off my leg." Xu Xin, helpless, could only ask the two for help.

"Is she really that heavy?" Qin Fu grabbed Zeng Tao’s shoulder, trying to flip her over.

But he couldn’t lift her.

"So heavy!" He immediately exerted more force, but still, she didn’t move an inch.

"Let me try." Lou Fei’Er also reached out to help.

Three people exerting force together.

Yet they still couldn’t lift her.

"This is too heavy." Qin Fu let go resignedly, spreading his hands, "Seems it’s not doable."

Xu Xin tried to pull his leg from under Zeng Tao, but to no avail.

It was completely and thoroughly pressed down by a heavy object.

This little loli, how could she be so heavy!

Her ability really is strange, but also understandable.

If she didn’t increase her weight, there’s no way she could manage that big sword so steadily.

Should he give her a pill to heal her injuries?

But in her current state, it seems...

It perfectly suits his needs.

He could just take this opportunity while she’s weak, to win over this little Gundam.

Just as Xu Xin was thinking this, Zeng Tao, lying on his knee, moved slightly.

"Ah..." Xu Xin took a deep breath again.

He felt like an elephant had just rolled twice over his leg.

Can’t take it anymore!

He almost spun the bracelet to put Zeng Tao inside.

If it continued like this, his leg might actually break!

"Ha? Is Zeng Tao’s condition getting much better?"

Lou Fei’Er suddenly asked.

Huh?

Xu Xin paused his movements and looked down.

He saw her complexion, previously pale, had begun to turn ruddy again.

To his surprise, she had really improved a lot.

Her condition seemed to have recovered somewhat.

It looks like there’s no need to give her a pill for recovery.

It’s just a pity, if her strength returns, it would be really difficult to subdue her.

"Did her injuries heal on their own?"

Qin Fu, seeing that her face had indeed improved, was also a bit surprised.

"She can even recover from injuries on her own, truly befitting a combat talent."

Xu Xin, however, felt differently.

He noticed that the weight of Zeng Tao, lying on his knee, was gradually lightening.

Getting lighter and lighter.

His knee could already fully bear this weight.

In no time, she might return to the weight suitable for her small body.

Such a small body, seventy or eighty pounds, would be about right, huh?

This weight, not only can become so heavy, but also lighten.

Gradually, as her body got lighter, Xu Xin could move his leg again.

"Hmm..." Zeng Tao made a muffled sound, then slowly opened her eyes.

Seeing herself sitting on Xu Xin’s lap, she first blinked blankly, then slowly widened her eyes, and her slightly bloodstained little mouth also slightly opened.

"This... this...!"

Without a word, she instantly jumped up and punched Xu Xin.

But Xu Xin’s reflexes were enhanced today.

As she threw the punch, he reacted quickly, dodging it with a tilt of his head and then grabbing her arm.

Hmm?

Her current strength is so small!

This little fist has become soft and weak.

So feeble!

Xu Xin felt a spark move through his heart.

Has she lost her power?

With a slight exertion of his grip, he easily pinned the weak Zeng Tao down, pressing her face-first onto the ground.

Of course, he controlled his strength, ensuring she didn’t get hurt.

"You...! Let go!" Zeng Tao pressed her cheek against the cold floor, shivering from the chill, then yelled out and struggled frantically, her short legs trying to kick Xu Xin.

But at this moment, she really had lost all her strength, becoming like a real little girl.

"Isn’t this... somehow inappropriate?" Qin Fu laughed as he spoke, "If this scene were seen on Earth, you’d probably have to drink a few pots of tea."

Lou Fei’Er, although constantly anxious about the situation outside, couldn’t help but laugh when she saw this scene.

"You... you two! How dare you support the villain and not help me!" Zeng Tao kicked her little legs and struggled, screaming, "Let me go! You scoundrel, let me go!!! Help me, quick!!"

Xu Xin also laughed, relaxing his grip somewhat.

But even as he loosened his hold, Zeng Tao couldn’t break free.

She kept struggling, while shouting frantically.

Feeling that the little girl under his hand truly had no strength left, he grabbed her arm with one hand, and as he stood up, lifted her up, to let her stand on the ground.

So light.

Zeng Tao stood on the ground, rubbing her wrist that had reddened from his grasp, not moving back or shying away, but glaring at him fiercely.

Her mouth still had traces of blood, and her fur armor on her chest had the blood stains she had just coughed.

But her complexion was rosy; physically, she seemed fine.

"Xiaotaozi, have you lost your powers?" Xu Xin asked.

"Hmm..." Zeng Tao trembled, instantly looking at Xu Xin with a trace of fear in her eyes.

It was only now that she realized the man opposite could easily have his way with her.

She immediately hid behind Lou Fei’Er, glaring fiercely at Xu Xin: "Don’t you dare try anything with me! My powers will be back soon!"

Right now, she looked like a little kitten baring its tiny teeth and claws, fierce yet incapable of causing harm.

It seemed she indeed had temporarily lost her powers.

The cost of healing her injuries was temporary power loss...

If using medicine could heal her injuries, would her powers remain intact?

"Your abilities are really captivating." Qin Fu also looked at her with interest.

"What... what are you planning?! You won’t be a pervert too, will you?" Zeng Tao clung tightly to Lou Fei’Er’s arm, looking nervously at the two tall men around her.

At this moment, she was indeed vulnerable to anyone pushing her around.

These two men really weren’t reliable!

She could only rely on Lou Fei’Er, another woman who consistently seemed pleasant.

"I told you not to go out, but you insisted, see, now there’s trouble." Lou Fei’Er held Zeng Tao’s little hand, first chided her, then comforted, "Alright, these two won’t do anything to you."

Her gaze shifted slightly.

Zeng Tao’s hand now felt soft, lacking any strength.

With a gentle tug, Zeng Tao’s whole body was pulled slightly closer to her.

"Ah!" Zeng Tao thought about what just happened and immediately ran to the window to look outside.

At a glance, she saw in the distance on the ground, a large saber that was now completely shattered.

Beyond repair.

"Woo..." Her lips pouted, her eyes reddened, "My saber..."

However, remembering there were others behind her, she sniffled and didn’t cry out loud.

But her mood immediately dropped, and she lowered her head without saying a word.

The saber, after chopping up the statue, was already in a pitiful state, severely damaged, but still repairable with the weapons and armor crafting station.

At most, it would cost a few blue-grade stones.

But now, it was only left with half of its original form...

Impossible to repair.

Tears welled up as she bit her lip, not wanting to cry.

She had saved up for so long to make that saber...

Now, it was truly gone forever.

Boohoohoo...

The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt, and finally, unable to hold back, she pursed her lips, and tears started pouring down.

"Hey, why are you crying?" Qin Fu immediately tried to comfort her, "It’s just a saber, isn’t it? You can always make another one."

"...It’s not that easy... it’s expensive! Wooo...waa!"

No one comforting her was still tolerable, she could hold back.

But when someone comforted her, the tears just couldn’t be contained.

"My saber! My saber...!" She sat down on the floor, crying loudly, "Wooowaa... Yan, you... you owe me a saber, you owe me a saber! Waaa..."

Even amidst her crying, she didn’t forget to glare at Xu Xin.

I owe you a saber?

Xu Xin was speechless.

He had been trying to stop her from going down.

Yet this young girl insisted on opposing him, whatever he said, she did the opposite, jumping down to chop those mutant creature statues.

The most absurd part was that she insisted on approaching the Pterosaur statue, provoking the Pterosaur statue.

That was a monster even he, the region’s top player, dared not challenge.

Watching the little girl cry aloud, eyes red, but still not forgetting to glare at him, Xu Xin felt a sense of helplessness.

Apparently, this Yan Haoming identity really made Zeng Tao detest him.

Even with his appearance and affinity enhancement, she couldn’t help but confront him.

"Alright, alright, aren’t they just blue-grade stones? I’ll compensate you, and I’ll make you another one."

Xu Xin comforted Zeng Tao as if calming a child, even patting her head like he did to Keke.
