Chapter 138: An Elegant and Easygoing Way of Scolding

Ye Lin felt somewhat helpless; looking at Xie Xiaoxiao's pure and innocent smile, he truly could not bring himself to say no.

He could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that Xie Xiaoxiao's barbecue skills would improve by leaps and bounds during this time—not necessarily becoming delicious, but at least not poisonous.

The two left their original spot, with Xie Xiaoxiao supporting the heavily injured Ye Lin as they walked toward the gathering place of the human class-changers.

Along the way, they saw many traces of battle, clearly left by previous clashes between the demons and human class-changers, and from time to time, one or two corpses would even appear.

Ye Lin could not bear to see these people left exposed in the wilderness, so he used Endless Devour to decompose them all in passing, prioritizing being a helpful person.

Not long after, the two of them arrived at a wide plain.

There was no cover in any direction here, and the terrain was open, providing an excellent field of vision.

If the demons were to attack, the people on the plain would be able to discover the demons' tracks immediately, avoiding being surrounded by the demons.

In the center of the plain, a group of human class-changers were sitting together, exchanging information; almost everyone's complexion was not looking good, and some were even carrying injuries.

"This Secret Realm No. 79 is a huge trap! Where are the divine artifacts? All there is are brutal demons!"

"This is Qingcheng! Near Qingcheng, even high-level monsters are rare; how could so many demons suddenly emerge from a secret realm? Could it be that the demons are brewing some kind of conspiracy?"

"Whatever conspiracy there is, it has nothing to do with us small fries. If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. The top priority now is to think of a way to escape from here!"

"Escape? How to escape? The exits are all demons! Going there is just asking for death!"

The crowd discussed heatedly, clearly having realized the cruelty within Secret Realm No. 79.

The fresh blood and the corpses of their compatriots had completely awakened them from the fantasy of finding divine artifacts to defy the heavens and change their fates.

It was just a pity that, at this moment, none of them had any way to escape.

The strength of the demons was too powerful; just avoiding the demons' pursuit had exhausted them, let alone breaking through the encirclement.

The crowd could not help but cast their gazes in unison toward a man in the center of the crowd.

He was thin, his pair of black eyes were incomparably deep, and he held a long battle saber in his hand; the blade was stained with purple blood, clearly having already wounded many demons.

This man was named Wu Hao, the most powerful person among the class-changers gathered here, with a level as high as 48 and the profession of an S-rank Extreme Flame Saber-wielder.

Previously, it was thanks to Wu Hao's intervention that they successfully repelled the demons and led everyone to break through the encirclement.

Wu Hao stood up, scanned the surrounding class-changers, and said in a deep voice.

"I won't say any pleasantries. You understand the current situation. As things stand, there is only one way that can help us break through."

"Wu Hao, you are the strongest here! If you have a way, just say it!"

"That's right! We can only rely on you!"

"If you lead us out, you will be a great hero, and we will definitely remember your kindness!"

Upon hearing that Wu Hao had a way, the crowd instantly became excited, looking at Wu Hao and waiting for him to continue.

Wu Hao did not rush to speak, but instead cast his gaze to the side.

There, there were many people who were heavily injured and dying; they had all been wounded by the demons, their injuries were extremely severe, some could barely stagger a few steps, while others could no longer move and could only gasp for air.

"My method is somewhat cruel. These heavily injured people are clearly unlikely to escape this secret realm, and to us, they are even more of a burden, but if waste is utilized well, it can also be turned into treasure."

Hearing this, the crowd looked at each other, all thinking of a terrifying possibility in their hearts, and could not help but reveal looks of horror.

Wu Hao ignored them and continued coldly.

"Although the individual strength of the demons is powerful, their numbers are much fewer than ours."

"Therefore, I propose using the heavily injured as bait, cutting out their tongues to prevent them from talking nonsense, and then throwing them out to attract the demons, buying us a chance to break through."

"In this way, many of us will surely be able to successfully break through and survive. I have finished speaking; who agrees, and who opposes?"

As soon as Wu Hao's voice fell, the whole place was in an uproar!

Everyone had not expected that Wu Hao's so-called method would be cruel to such an extent!

This was clearly intending to use the corpses of those heavily injured people to forcibly pave a path to survival!

To put it bluntly, this was to make them kill those heavily injured people with their own hands!

"I object! This act is too cruel! It goes against human morality!" A class-changer with a sense of justice stood up, his face showing anger.

With someone taking the lead, several others immediately stood up one after another.

"I also object! My younger brother is also among the heavily injured; to make me watch my own brother die, I cannot do it!"

"Yes! My husband is also heavily injured, I cannot abandon him. Husband, say something!"

"Although I don't have any loved ones or friends injured, if such a despicable method is used, even if I successfully survive, I will suffer the condemnation of my conscience for the rest of my life, so I also object!"

Although some people objected, more people remained silent and did not speak, and some even buried their heads in their chests, playing the ostrich.

Looking at the few who objected, Wu Hao smiled faintly.

The next second, Wu Hao's figure disappeared from the spot like a ghost.

Swish, swish, swish!

Several cold glints flashed and vanished, fast to the extreme, sharp enough to make one's blood run cold!

Those few who objected let out shrill screams and fell heavily to the ground, blood streaming from their limbs.

They had no time to react at all before their hand and foot tendons had already been severed by Wu Hao's blade.

"Alright, now there are a few more heavily injured people to attract the demons' attention, and our probability of successfully breaking through has increased by a few points."

Wu Hao spoke with a smile, then raised those black eyes and scanned the faces of the crowd; everyone lowered their heads one after another, not daring to meet his gaze.

"Now, does anyone else object?"

Seeing that no one dared to answer, Wu Hao nodded with satisfaction.

"Since no one objects, then let's do as I said. First, cut out the tongues of all the heavily injured to prevent them from harboring resentment and tipping off the demons."

But just at this moment, a delicate shout rang out.

"I object!"

The one who spoke was none other than Xie Xiaoxiao, who had been supporting Ye Lin all the way here.

At this time, Xie Xiaoxiao had a look of anger on her face; she had brought Ye Lin to join the other class-changers, originally thinking that there was strength in numbers and that they could try to rush out together by uniting.

But she did not expect to witness such a cruel scene with her own eyes!

"Our enemy is clearly the demons! How can you act so perversely? You are too much!"

Xie Xiaoxiao was trembling with anger; having lived in a deep-walled courtyard since childhood, she had never imagined that a person could be so cruel to their own kind, even wounding them heavily over a disagreement!

But having been well-read in poetry and literature since childhood, she could not think of any dirty words to express her anger; "too much" was already the harshest accusation she could think of.

Facing Xie Xiaoxiao's accusation, Wu Hao was predictably indifferent; with no fluctuations in his heart, he just gave a cold laugh.

After all, this way of scolding by Xie Xiaoxiao had damage close to zero for an adult.

Seeing this, Ye Lin could not help but shake his head; it seemed Xie Xiaoxiao was still inexperienced in the world, so he could only teach him himself.

"For a beast like this that is worse than a pig or dog, scolding like that won't work. I'll teach you a more elegant and easygoing way of scolding."

Ye Lin finished speaking in a flat tone and turned his head to look at Wu Hao; the moment their eyes met, Ye Lin's spellcasting had no wind-up, zero-frame instant cast.

"F*** your mother!"

"Within three days, I'll f*** your mother! I'll deep-fry your mother's ashes in freshly squeezed peanut oil and mix it into rice for you to eat! You piece of s***! You look like a d***, I see you and I want to put a masturbator on you! Is what you just said human language? Is that a human act? F*** your mother!"

"I have never seen such a thick-skinned and shameless person!"
