Chapter 133: This Punch Is Strong Enough

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Lin Yuan saw this strange energy rift, his brain felt as if it was going to explode. He had seen this strange energy rift back in the Xia Region.

Wasn’t it a dimensional rift?

Alien insects frantically rushed out of this opened dimensional rift, and all sorts of alien insects fell from the sky before falling into pieces.

But as layer after layer of alien insect corpses laid down and formed a thick layer of insect corpses, there were no casualties among the newly fallen alien insects when they fell on them.

Soon, a sea of alien insects suddenly gathered secretly in the night under the dimensional rift.

All sorts of alien insects cried in unison, creating an ear-piercing and disordered sound of insects. Then, these alien insects gorged their sacrificed companions’ flesh below them and seemed to be waiting for something.

The dimensional rift had suddenly opened widely at the Endless Forest border, and the sea of insects had gathered only two or three meters away from Millstone Town.

This was almost akin to the dimensional rift opening at the gates of Millstone Town.

This dimensional rift that had suddenly opened in the night sky revealed its hideous claws and teeth, just like a devil choosing people to devour.

Millstone Town, which was directly connected to this sudden change, started to panic.

At that moment, Zhang Xiaobai dashed at his side. He was holding 30 kidney skewers, which could not be held in one hand, so he held 15 in each hand.

Zhang Xiaobai might be experienced eating Millstone Town’s kidney skewers. Those 30 kidney skewers could satisfy his appetite.

He ran to Lin Yuan with a very grave expression, glanced at the kidney skewers in his hands, and threw them on the ground. “Lin Yuan, we’ll gather at the earlier location. With such a big change of events, they should have rushed over immediately.”

Zhang Xiaobai rarely looked so grave. He looked at Lin Yuan and wanted to say something, but did not in the end. Instead, he only reached out to pat Lin Yuan’s shoulder.

Lin Yuan and Zhang Xiaobai ran toward the location previously agreed with Xin Ying, Lu Pinru, and Tan Ran.

After arriving at the location, Lin Yuan found Xin Ying and Lu Pinru standing there with ugly and anxious expressions.

When Xin Ying saw Lin Yuan and Zhang Xiaobai, she shouted, “Based on the disorderly insect sounds, this opened dimensional rift must be linked to the dimension with alien insects. However, I don’t know if it’s a Class 1 Insect Dimensional Rift or a Pinnacle Class 1 Insect Dimensional Rift.”

Lin Yuan had also done a lot of research on this aspect. If the alien insect dimensional rift reached Class 2, the sounds of the alien insects alone could cause dizziness and blurred vision to people under such proximity.

Therefore, this opened alien insect dimensional rift could only be Class 1. However, there was a vast difference between an ordinary Class 1 alien insect dimensional rift and a pinnacle Class 1 dimensional rift.

At that moment, Tan Ran dashed to their side while panting.

The five-member team officially assembled. Xin Ying regained her calmness and said as she looked at Lin Yuan, “Due to the sudden dimensional rift in Millstone Town, our mission of finding the Jade Unicorn Ice Snake venom in the Endless Forest is suspended. You can go to the Royal Capital’s Guild Alliance to collect the deposit we put up as the compensation for a sudden suspension of a mission.”

Zhang Xiaobai held back until his face turned red. Despite wanting to say something and looking at Lin Yuan and then Xin Ying, he still did not say what he wanted to, even if his face turned red.

Lu Pinru and Tan Ran were frank, but it was as though they had a vague expectation as they looked at Lin Yuan.

At the same time, Lu Pinru took down the closet, which was the height of two people, that she was carrying on her back.

Tan Ran also opened the backpack he was carrying and wore a forehead protector. He pushed his naturally curly hair to the back of his head and revealed his forehead. It was clear that Lu Pinru and Tan Ran were ready for battle at this point.

Lin Yuan could see the intention of the quartet. They wanted to stay in Millstone Town and help the town defend against the insect tide invasion.

At that moment, Lin Yuan could not help but think of the little boy that had bought a fat yellow duck sugar figurine earlier.

He also recalled that when Chu Ci was young and was eating sugar figurines, she would always throw a tantrum about wanting a sugar figurine in the shape of an Elite Black Back Mountain Boar.

It was as though the taste of pork could be felt.

Those distant memories appeared before his eyes.

What was happiness?

When one was hungry, rice would be one’s happiness. It was enough if one could eat to one’s fill.

When one was thirsty, water would be one’s happiness. It was enough if one could drink to one’s fill.

When one was poor, money would be one’s happiness. It was enough if one had sufficient money.

Happiness might be one thing when one was young, and one would feel happy when one had something.

When one grew up, happiness might be one goal, and one would feel happy when one achieved that.

A few months ago, Lin Yuan had been a struggling man on the line of happiness, and he had been neither healthy nor had enough food or clothes.

But now, he had bigger life goals than other people.

In Lin Yuan’s opinion, rather than saying it was because of his reincarnation, him forming a contract with Morbius, or being able to channel spirit qi to enhance feys, it was because he had been born in the Radiance Federation.

Although Lin Yuan had grown up unwilling to accept others’ help, he had unknowingly accepted too many favors.

From time to time, Auntie Zhang and Uncle Wang would take care of his daily life and wonder whether he could live well. Before Chu Ci had a contracted fey, Teacher Bao had wanted to buy one for her with his own money. And there was also his dutiful teacher, the Moon Empress.

When Lin Yuan saw the battle intent in the quartet’s eyes, it seemed as if he suddenly understood the meaning of radiance.

Radiance was a legacy, a mission, and a kind of belief.

Lin Yuan frowned as he looked at them. “Do you think that the four of you are the only ones who want to stay? In my opinion, our temporary squad can’t be disbanded, not at least until we get through this insect tide.”

Xin Ying, Lu Pinru, and Tan Ran looked at Lin Yuan with their eyes lit up.

If they were kind to Lin Yuan before, then it was because they had formed a temporary squad. But now, they were looking at Lin Yuan in approval. This kind of recognition had nothing to do with his strength. Rather, it was a kind of soul-level recognition.

Zhang Xiaobai’s face turned red from holding back his words. He laughed and punched Lin Yuan. “Lin Yuan, you’re worthy of being a good brother of mine.”

Lin Yuan almost took a step back from Zhang Xiaobai’s punch on his shoulder.

Zhang Xiaobai was worthy of someone boorish who had to eat 30 kidney skewers for each meal. He was indeed boorish.

Lin Yuan also punched back on Zhang Xiaobai’s shoulder. “I’ll focus on healing you during the battle later.”

Zhang Xiaobai took a step back from Lin Yuan’s punch and replied with a laugh, “This punch is strong enough. That’s satisfying!”

Zhang Xiaobai and Lin Yuan were not good at expressing their affection. Hitting each other with a punch was sometimes the way males expressed their friendship.

Lin Yuan looked at the dimensional rift and said sternly, “We won’t be able to stop this insect tide with just a few of us. We’ll follow the stream of people toward the location where Millstone Town’s adventurers gather.”

Xin Ying quickly responded, “There is a Guild Alliance branch in Millstone Town. The stream of people is heading there. We’ll head there now.”

Lin Yuan was running with the quartet to the Millstone Town’s Guild Alliance branch when he heard a strange yet pleasant female voice. It belonged to none other than the Mother of Bloodbath, which had been silent before.
