Chapter 41: Chapter 41: The Lord Ravager Awakens
Two days later, the food Tinker had ordered online was finally delivered.
Victor arrived at the warehouse Tinker had rented as quickly as possible and sent all the food to Bai Yuekui through red envelopes.
[Bai Yuekui: Thank you, Victor. The food you sent is enough to keep Dragonbone Village running for over half a year.]
[Bai Yuekui: Combined with what Kiana and the others sent earlier, we won't have to worry about food this year.]
What was the most terrifying thing in the apocalypse?
It wasn't the Pole Devourers—it was famine!
When facing Pole Devourers, these surface survivors at least still had the strength to fight back. But once the food ran out, no matter how strong they were, they would eventually starve to death.
Although they often ventured out to search for food remnants from the old world, as time passed, the amount of food they could find became increasingly scarce. Sometimes they had to travel great distances just to barely find anything.
[Kiana: Let us know if you need more. My aunt just said there will be plenty of food available in the future!]
[Bai Yuekui: Please thank your aunt for me.]
[Stelle: Victor, are you free?]
[Victor: Why, do you want to ask me out too?]
[Stelle: Yes.]
Hm?
Something was definitely wrong. Ten out of ten points wrong with Stelle!
It would already be a blessing if she didn't think about how to trick him, so how could she possibly ask him out?
Thinking this, Victor stopped beating around the bush.
[Victor: Just tell me what you want from me.]
[Stelle: Want to come play in the Phantylia dungeon?]
[Victor: Oh? Are you guys ready to take on Phantylia so soon?]
[Stelle: Everything is ready—we're just waiting for the final piece! To ensure we can capture Phantylia this time, General Luofu also invited another Xianzhou general to help. I think her name is Fei... Feixiao?]
[Victor: Wait a moment, I'll be there soon!]
This was such a good opportunity for him to farm some Abstract Points—Victor naturally wouldn't miss it!
At the same time, in the Divine Foresight Commission of the Xianzhou Luofu.
Stelle closed the chat group and turned to look at everyone. "Victor said he'll be here soon."
Walter adjusted his glasses. "In that case, that's excellent."
Himeko nodded as well. "With Mr. Victor here, perhaps the upcoming battle will be much easier."
"Oh? You have such confidence in this person? I'm becoming more and more curious about him."
Jing Yuan wore a smile on his face, his expression so relaxed that he didn't look like someone about to face a powerful enemy.
"Is he very strong? I'm really looking forward to competing with him!" Feixiao clasped her hands together, her eyes full of fighting spirit.
"Hmph! He's just a scoundrel who made thousands of people homeless."
Fu Xuan, with her pink hair and twin ponytails, snorted softly, displeasure written all over her cute face.
"When he arrives, I'll settle this account with him!"
"Um..."
As soon as he stepped through the portal, Victor heard Fu Xuan's resentful voice and subconsciously stopped in his tracks.
Just as he was about to step back, March 7th, quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbed him.
"Hey, hey, don't even think about running away!"
Faced with everyone's different expressions, Victor could only bite the bullet and step forward, pretending nothing had happened.
"Hello, nice to meet you all."
"How pleased are you?" Stelle asked seriously, crossing her arms.
Victor, "..."
Could you please stop copying me?
It really kills the conversation, you know?
Fortunately, Himeko spoke up at this moment to resolve the awkwardness. "Mr. Victor, it's our first meeting. I'm very grateful that you're willing to lend a hand."
Jing Yuan also stepped forward. "When friends come from afar, we should treat them with courtesy."
"But now my Xianzhou faces a powerful enemy. Not only do I have no time for proper hospitality, but I also need Mr. Victor's assistance. This truly lacks proper etiquette. I hope you can forgive me."
"Once the Stellaron crisis is resolved, we will definitely express our gratitude properly!"
After saying this, Jing Yuan cupped his fists and bowed slightly to Victor.
Victor waved his hand. "No problem. It's better to finish this quickly."
"Hmph!" Fu Xuan snorted and said nothing more.
"So what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Feixiao took the lead, guiding everyone out of the Divine Foresight Commission.
But before they could walk out of the Commission's gates, suddenly, the entire Xianzhou shook violently!
March 7th almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Victor caught her in his arms.
"What's happening?"
Everyone was puzzled by the sudden tremor.
At this moment, a terrified Cloud Knight soldier rushed in, knelt on one knee, and reported to Jing Yuan and Feixiao, "Report! Reporting to both generals—the Ambrosial Arbor has revived!"
"What?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed dramatically, and Fu Xuan broke out in a cold sweat from fright.
"General! The Ambrosial Arbor's revival wasn't part of our plan!"
Jing Yuan nodded with a wry smile. "Indeed, something we should have avoided still happened. It seems the Lord Ravager has also noticed our plan."
Walter pushed his glasses and said in a deep voice, "Not only that, she's also played a trick on us. Truly worthy of being an Emanator of Destruction."
Victor, on the other hand, remained quite calm. "Let's go. No matter what she's done now, she can't escape our righteous judgment!"
No matter what extraordinary things she had accomplished, today she would have to kneel down and provide him with plenty of Abstract Points!
"That may be true, but could you please let me go first?"
There was a sudden pain in his waist. Victor looked down to find March 7th pinching his side with her small hands.
Her rosy little face made the already cute March even more charming.
"Oh, you ungrateful girl. I just helped you, and this is how you repay me?"
Victor quickly let go and covered his waist.
March 7th also took the opportunity to leave Victor's embrace, crossed her arms, and said with a red face, "Hmph! Who told you to touch my butt!"
"..."
More than ten minutes later, everyone arrived outside the Scale Gorge Waterscape.
Before they even got close, they could feel a powerful aura lurking in the bottomless waters.
"Dan Heng, it's up to you."
Jing Yuan turned his head to look at Dan Heng, who was standing next to Walter.
"I know you can still use the Dragon Lord's power, and now is when I need you most."
Dan Heng nodded silently, and a powerful force of Imaginary energy suddenly burst from his body!
In an instant, his short hair grew longer, a horn crown appeared on his forehead, and even his clothes changed dramatically!
Jing Yuan couldn't help but show a nostalgic expression.
Although he knew this person was no longer his old friend, when he saw Dan Heng's current appearance, he couldn't help but recall the past.
"Wow! Dan Heng transformed! He's even more handsome than before!"
March 7th covered her mouth and exclaimed.
"It's a pity he's still not as handsome as me." Victor crossed his arms and commented seriously.
March 7th glanced at him and said speechlessly, "Although that's true, isn't it too shameless for you to say it out loud?"
Stelle at the side nodded in agreement. "That's right—shameless!"
