“Roar!”
Under the gaze of everyone, splatters of fresh blood fell from the sky, staining the ground and dyeing the surface where Fang Li stood in red.
That scene, in the eyes of everyone, almost turned into slow motion, causing a slight tremor in the hearts of the onlookers.
Only Fang Li, tightly gripping the dagger in his hand, looked at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, his face filled with astonishment.
“Aaaahh, AaahAaahAah————!”
Ikoma, who had rushed over at some point, mounted the Kabane body that was tightly grabbing Fang Li’s foot. The spike of the Tsuranuki Zutsu Gun Gun in his hand ruthlessly pierced the heart of the Kabane, and he let out a roar.
Immediately, Ikoma pulled the trigger of the Tsuranuki Zutsu Gun Gun in his hand.
“Bang————!”
Accompanied by a muffled sound like an explosion, the Tsuranuki Zutsu Gun Gun in Ikoma’s hand, like a pile driver, pierced through the heart skin membrane of the Kabane, shattering its glowing heart.
It was only at this moment that Fang Li finally reacted.
He had been saved.
Saved by this boy who had recently transformed into a Kabaneri.
“Quick!” Ignoring Fang Li’s astonishment, Ikoma shouted directly at him, “Get out of here quickly!”
Fang Li took a deep breath and put aside everything else, and followed Ikoma, running back at the fastest speed.
Before long, Fang Li and Ikoma finally escaped back to the side of the Samurais.
As they saw Ikoma rushing towards them, many Samurais instinctively raised their firearms at him but stopped due to Konochi Kurusu’s reprimand.
“Shoot while retreating! Fall back to the Hayajiro Train!”
Thus, with Konochi Kurusu and Araka Kibito at the center, the Samurais began their shooting retreat.
Fang Li and Ikoma ran all the way until they reached Mumei’s side and stood before her.
“You…” Mumei raised her head and looked at Fang Li, who was covered in blood, her face filled with exhaustion as she murmured softly, “You really act recklessly…”
Looking at Mumei’s exhausted appearance, Fang Li took a breath while smiling bitterly. He approached her and took the ribbon from her hand, personally tying it around her neck, and said softly, “And as I told you before, you have no right to say that to me.”
“…Regardless, I leave the rest to you.” Mumei obediently allowed Fang Li to tie the ribbon for her, or rather, she didn’t even have the strength to refuse. Her voice grew weaker and weaker as she said, “I… have reached my limit…”
“I know.” Fang Li smiled slightly and said, “I hope when you wake up, you won’t find yourself abandoned by me on the roadside.”
Mumei glared at Fang Li, then gently closed her eyes, falling forward.
Fang Li took a step and caught Mumei in his arms, then proceeded to princess carry her, lifting her up.
Fortunately, Mumei was incredibly light, or else with Fang Li’s strength that was as low as 1, he wouldn’t know if he could lift the young girl.
“Alright.” Fang Li said to Ikoma beside him, “Let’s hurry to the Hayajiro Train.”
“What about her?” Ikoma glanced at Mumei, who was quietly sleeping in Fang Li’s arms, hesitated for a while, and tentatively asked, “What happened to her?”
“She’s fine, she is just exhausted.” Fang Li casually replied, “She’ll wake up soon enough.”
Having said that, Fang Li carried the sleeping Mumei and walked toward the direction of the accelerating Hayajiro Train.
Watching this scene, Ikoma couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
“Their relationship seems really good…”
However, Ikoma was thinking too presumptuously.
The relationship between Fang Li and Mumei was far from good.
After all, the time they had known each other hadn’t even exceeded an hour.
“Du du du du du————!”
The sound of the Hayajiro Train’s steam whistle resonated once again throughout the sky above Aragane Station.
In the midst of shooting and retreating, the Samurais finally boarded the Hayajiro Train, escaping into this moving steel fortress.
“AaahAaahAaahAaahAaahAaah————————!”
The Kabane army let out a resentful roar as they foolishly blocked the path of the Hayajiro Train.
In this situation, these Kabane naturally turned into minced meat under the wheels of the Hayajiro Train and were crushed and shattered like garbage.
And so, the Hayajiro Train sped up on the tracks, heading towards the city gate designated for evacuation.
…
Hayajiro Train, carriage.
This was the last carriage of the Hayajiro Train.
There was no one inside the carriage, only boilers working one by one, raising the temperature inside the carriage.
Fang Li carried Mumei and entered this carriage together with Ikoma.
The surroundings were somewhat quiet, with only the sound of steam from the boilers and the noise of the Hayajiro Train’s wheels.
Fang Li gently placed Mumei against the wall, took off his blood-soaked cloak from his body, and was about to cover her with it when he suddenly stopped, frowned, and looked at Ikoma.
“Uh…” Ikoma was somewhat stunned when he saw Fang Li looking at him and asked, “What happened?”
“Are you still going to use your cloak?” Fang Li said directly, “If not then lend it to me.”
“Cloak?” Only then did Ikoma notice something.
Fang Li’s cloak, which should have been used for warmth, had been dyed completely red by blood, looking as if it had just been pulled out of a blood pond, and it looked exceptionally terrifying.
Since Fang Li wanted to cover Mumei with something, he couldn’t use the cloak that was stained with blood.
“Here.” Ikoma didn’t hesitate much, he directly took off his cloak and tossed it to Fang Li.
Due to the previous incident where Mumei had torn it, the cloak was somewhat worn, but it was sufficient to cover Mumei’s petite body.
After completing these actions, Fang Li sheathed the dagger that he had been holding in his hand back to his waist and leaned against the wall next to Mumei, taking a deep breath.
His stamina had somewhat recovered. However, the excessive slashing and hacking had made Fang Li’s muscles slightly sore, and he felt exceptionally tired mentally and physically.
Nevertheless, despite the hardships and the close brushes with death, the rewards were quite gratifying.
With the protection of Mumei and the other Samurais, Fang Li slaughtered the Kabane army and not only gained insight into new skills but also acquired a significant amount of Exchange Points.
So, how many Exchange Points did Fang Li have now?
— 24,700.
Fang Li had struck down over a hundred Kabane, resulting in an unbelievable leap in his Exchange Points!
In the first Dungeon World alone, he had gained over 20,000 Exchange Points!
This achievement was enough to make him proud among all the newly arrived Divine Envoys!
Although this achievement wasn’t solely Fang Li’s doing, he had undeniably reaped all the benefits!
i thought Fang li was bitten and became kabaneri
