Chapter 44: Demolishing Iron Fist (2/2)

Furthermore, each person had unique reactions to the strange energy. Su Yu’s left hand that was covered in a layer of black scales appears to be an arm that only an animal would possess, together with the claws and fangs that his abilities had, it was clear that his strange energy was associated to a beastial form of energy.

Ma Zi Ye’s strange energy was even stranger and black rope-like things would appear on her leg. Zhang Zhong Mou’s face turned into stone and Qin Jia Gui’s skin could become metal, causing his right fist to appear like dark coloured iron.

Although they were absorbing the same energy, each person would go through a different transformation.

Seeing Qin Jia Gui’s transformation, Zhao Shi Chang, Lin Shi and Lin Dong had a yearning within their eyes, they also wanted to know what their abilities were, after going through a transformation.

Having killed this group of Gnomes, Li Dong and the others who had not promoted changed their wooden clubs for the metal shovels. It was clear that the metal shovel had a much stronger offensive capability than the wooden club.

They continued on and spotted holes behind a copse of trees, it was clear that this hole was the dwelling of that group of Gnomes and they had heard the group’s footsteps causing them to climb out and attack, inadvertently losing their lives in the process.

The group did not tarry for long before continuing on, of the thirteen people in the group, there was one tier two dark iron warrior and three tier one dark iron warriors. The group’s strength could be said to be immense and a normal pack of Lesser Goblins or low level Gnomes would not be able to threaten them.

At midday the group stopped to rest and began to eat. The dark clouds in the sky began to disperse as indistinct rays from the sun could be seen, causing the area to not seem as sinister.

The morning had gone by swiftly and the group had already covered much ground but did not made much headway. What was before them was still a sprawling forest with trees that reached the sky, wild grass and flowers littered the area and their uniqueness made it difficult to describe, the group simply did not recognise any of them.

It was already midday and Qin Jia Gui who had been elated earlier gradually felt his spirits sink lower, based on their appointment they only had an afternoon worth of time left.

If they did not make any discoveries this afternoon, they had to head back to the school and the food there would probably have run out already.

The group sat together as they rested and took food out from their backpacks. Ma Zi Ye continued to eat her instant noodles with an intoxicated expression on her face as her other hand reached into her backpack to retrieve a bottle of orange juice. She was not too fond of drinking water and had stuffed many bottles of orange juice, Coca Cola, Sprite and other similar drinks.

Ding Shan drank the mineral water in her hands and felt that it was rather tasteless as she looked at the orange juice within Ma Zi Ye’s hands with a yearning expression.

Ma Zi Ye noticed this and laughed as she handed the orange juice over to her.

Ding Shan was shy and she timidly shook her head.

Su Yu rubbed her hair and laughed: “Little girl what’s there to be shy about.” as he helped her accept the orange juice and passed it to her.

Ding Shan stuck out her small tongue as she softly said: “Thank you big sister.” before turning to Su Yu and continuing: “Thank you big brother.”

Su Yu laughed as he rubbed Ding Shan’s head, he felt that this little girl was simply too cute.
