Chapter 44: Bullying the Weak and Fearing the Strong

One hour later.

Lu Xing appeared at the Emperor Tomb Village resurrection point.

The battle with the Strange Butterfly left him with lingering fears. Afterward, he discovered that the Strange Butterfly was fully capable of killing him easily, but chose to torture him by playing with him.

After he died, a large number of players had already formed groups to head to Wind Wave Pool, determined to take down this 4th Generation Origin monster.

Lu Xing summoned the forum panel at this time.

After selecting the livestream category, he clicked on the livestream of the player "Night is Coming".

Through the livestream screen, one could see:

After more than an hour of long-distance trekking, the player team led by "Night is Coming" had already arrived near Wind Wave Pool. Circling past the volcano erupting with flames in front, they would reach the Strange Butterfly's location.

At this time, a large number of players in the livestream were discussing one question: was the Strange Butterfly still there?

This question was answered half an hour later.

In the bushes at the end of the livestream screen, a pair of deep green eyes blinked constantly, observing the movements outside.

Seeing that the Strange Butterfly was still there, both the players on the scene and the onlookers in the livestream cheered.

But the excitement didn't last for a few seconds before they saw the Strange Butterfly suddenly leap from the bushes and flap its wings to fly into the high sky.

This left the players who had come in groups dumbfounded.

"Damn it, after traveling for so long, the Strange Butterfly just ran away like that?"

"Where are the Eagle-Headed Demon players? Hurry up and flap your wings to chase it! Hurry!"

"Idiot, we Eagle-Headed Demons are ground chickens, we can only glide for short distances, we can't fly... at least not at our current level."

……

The Strange Butterfly flew further and further away, but the players who had come in groups were helpless and could only watch with longing as the Strange Butterfly gradually disappeared from sight.

With no other choice, they could only choose to turn back.

Seeing this, Lu Xing couldn't help but shake his head.

The operation to contain the Strange Butterfly was a complete failure.

Closing "Night is Coming's" livestream, Lu Xing turned on livestream mode, then bought ten cans of food for 1 point of sacrificial power each in the mall, preparing to continue his journey of exploring the world.

2 hours later.

Passing through the ancient battlefield area full of blood corpses, Lu Xing arrived at the Wind Wave Pool area again.

This time he didn't stop, continuing to head northwest along the pool.

Just then, a gust of wind struck from the sky.

Lu Xing raised his head abruptly and was surprised to find that the Strange Butterfly had descended from the sky, its wide white wings pressing down on him.

"Mommy!"

Lu Xing decisively switched to his Eagle-Headed Demon form and pounced to one side.

"Coo-coo!"

Amidst the flying dust, the Strange Butterfly landed and let out an excited chirp.

The reappearance of the Strange Butterfly left Lu Xing a bit confused. Looking up, he found the Strange Butterfly looking at him with a very human-like provocative gaze.

"No more fighting, no more fighting!" Thinking of the experience of being beaten for over half an hour last time, Lu Xing decisively admitted defeat and turned to run.

But the Strange Butterfly wouldn't let him go.

It flapped its wings to fly behind him, knocked him to the ground, then flew to a twisted ancient tree in the distance to stand, looking at him from afar and chirping again.

Lu Xing, knocked to the ground, felt a sense of foreboding.

This Strange Butterfly seemed to have set its sights on him.

Recalling the evaluation of the Strange Butterfly in the guide analysis as "bullying the weak and fearing the strong," he realized that he seemed to have become a weakling in the Strange Butterfly's eyes that could be bullied at will.

"Coo-coo!"

The Strange Butterfly flapped its wings and leaped from the ancient tree, attacking him again in a diving posture.

Lu Xing decisively dodged, but was still slapped by the Strange Butterfly, tumbling on the spot and landing on his butt, seeing stars.

Coo-coo!

"Too much bullying." Looking at the Strange Butterfly standing tall on the tree branch, Lu Xing felt aggrieved.

When the Strange Butterfly dived again, Lu Xing decided not to retreat anymore and flapped his wings to meet it head-on.

As Lu Xing and the Strange Butterfly fought, the number of people in the livestream also kept climbing.

"What a surprise, I thought the Strange Butterfly had flown away, I didn't expect it to come back, there's hope for containment!"

"I suspect it was because there were too many people at the time, causing the Strange Butterfly to panic and fly away. Next time, fewer people should go, or a strong player should go to challenge it alone."

"Come on, fight the Strange Butterfly again, you can win!"

……

With the influx of onlookers into the livestream, motivational tips appeared again.

Lu Xing and the Strange Butterfly began a new round of confrontation. This time, the Strange Butterfly no longer used its Wind Control ability to fight, but played with Lu Xing in hand-to-hand combat.

After half an hour of torture, Lu Xing finally lay on the ground, curled into a ball, exhausted, completely giving up resistance and letting the wings whip him.

As a scenery-loving player, he never thought he would encounter such a disaster on his journey.

Before meeting the Strange Butterfly, he had been killed by monsters and evil spirits, but none were as painful as this.

Lu Xing felt sad and angry, but the Strange Butterfly showed no mercy, flapping its wings to summon countless wind blades to surround him, ending his life.

After Lu Xing went offline, a large number of players formed groups again to head to Wind Wave Pool.

This time the players learned to be smart. Realizing that the Strange Butterfly bullied the weak and feared the strong, and that group challenges were not possible, they selected a level 10 player to approach the Strange Butterfly after arriving near Wind Wave Pool.

But to the players' shock, after the Strange Butterfly took one look at the challenging player, it immediately flapped its wings and flew away.

The unwilling players did not leave and hid in the distance.

Half an hour later, the Strange Butterfly flew back, circled Wind Wave Pool twice to observe the situation, and then landed in the bushes.

This time the players sent a player with a level similar to Lu Xing to challenge it, but the result remained unchanged. After discovering the player's figure, the Strange Butterfly flew into the high sky and disappeared without even waiting for him to get close.

This made the players who had come in groups itch with hatred, but they were helpless.

Just then, a voice sounded in the team voice channel:

"The Strange Butterfly seems to have set its sights on the Explorer. Only he is the weakling in the Strange Butterfly's eyes. Since we can't get close to the Strange Butterfly, why don't we find a way to let the Explorer defeat it?"

After this idea was proposed, it was agreed upon by many players.

When Lu Xing went online again and turned on the livestream, a large number of players flooded into the livestream at once.

"Brother, the heavy responsibility of defeating the Strange Butterfly is left to you."

"Containing the first 4th Generation Origin monster, the reward is higher than winning the lottery, you can do it."

"Brother, you must believe in yourself, we all have high hopes for you."

Lu Xing, who was a bit confused, gradually understood the reason why this group of players was looking for him after reading the comments. Clearly, they hoped he would go to Wind Wave Pool to fight the Strange Butterfly again.

To this, Lu Xing shook his head and said he had decided to change his exploration route and would no longer go to the Wind Wave Pool area.

But what followed were constantly refreshing tips. Although the amounts were not large, it could be seen that this group of players was looking forward to him fighting the Strange Butterfly again.

During this time, some players also said they would provide off-site guidance to ensure he could defeat the Strange Butterfly.

After a long silence, Lu Xing finally plucked up the courage under the money offensive of the livestream players:

"Okay, I'll try again!"

Seeing Lu Xing agree, cheers filled the screen in the livestream.

Lu Xing also embarked on the journey to fight the Strange Butterfly again at this time.
