Five Frozen Centuries - Chapter 179
Chapter 179: Don’t Provoke Me
The group vaguely heard Wei Huo talking to someone but could not understand anything. A young man slapped himself and asked everyone, “Tell me, does one plus one equal two? Does five plus five equal ten?”
A middle-aged man who was calmer looked at the young man in disdain. “What are you afraid of?”
The young man was confused. He said, “I suspect I have hypothermia and I had a hallucination. Tell me, does one plus one equal two?”
A few members of the team were relatively calm. They were old and experienced, so they were not afraid.
Soon, Wei Huo returned and said, “It’s alright. There’s a hole in the coffin lid. I’ll cover it. I’ll find a nail tomorrow.”
The group of people felt a chill go down their spines. Why would the coffin lid open by itself?
The young man wanted to cry. “Big Brother Wei, can you nail it now? I’m worried that it will be too late tomorrow.”
Wei Huo smiled. “It’s alright. My friend is lying inside. Besides, the coffin is warm and comfortable. While the rocs are pulling the coffin, she won’t crawl out of it.”
The entire group of people was speechless. The atmosphere was terrifying at first, but after hearing Wei Huo’s words, they felt that it was not terrifying anymore.
The young man was still a little afraid. He had just sat down and picked up a grilled fish when a black shadow flashed past. The grilled fish in his hand disappeared instantly.
The young man jumped up again. “F*ck, what was that?”
A middle-aged man got angry. “Don’t be alarmed. Hurry up and finish your food and go to bed. You’re already an adult. What are you afraid of?”
The young man sat down carefully and grabbed another grilled fish. Another black shadow flashed past, and the grilled fish in his hand disappeared.
The young man rolled on the ground in fear. He retreated beside the fire in fear and looked around vigilantly. “There’s really something. Be careful, everyone!”
At that moment, another black shadow attacked. Its target was a grilled fish that emitted an alluring fragrance. Wei Huo extended his claws and grabbed the black shadow.
The black shadow was still struggling when Wei Huo grabbed it. It seemed like it wanted to bite Wei Huo, but Wei Huo grabbed its neck so it could not turn around to bite him.
Everyone was shocked. They had not seen what had just happened. They had only seen Wei Huo reach out with his hand and catch a guy whose back was gray and whose other parts were black.
The young man was shocked when he saw the creature. “Brother Flathead?”
This honey badger was known as Brother Flathead. It was ferocious and it wasn’t nice to anyone. If someone provoked it, it would chase them down a few streets.
Everyone was amazed. This was their first time meeting Brother Flathead.
The young man walked over. “You almost scared me to death. Speaking of that, this guy is really fast. I didn’t even see the grilled fish.”
The honey badger was still acting fierce. It was unwilling to give up. It was still struggling after being grabbed by Wei Huo. It wanted to turn around and bite him.
Wei Huo looked at the badger’s unhappy face but ignored it. He then shouted, “Cat!”
The kitten’s head crawled out of the Border Collie’s fur. It had been sleeping soundly when it heard Wei Huo calling it.
Wei Huo threw the honey badger at it and told it to handle it.
Everyone was shocked. Why would someone throw such a huge honey badger at such a small kitten?
A moment later, they understood.
The badger landed on the ground and tried to act fierce. It seemed like it wanted to attack Wei Huo, but the kitten descended from the sky and slapped the badger on the head. The badger was slapped into the snow.
Everyone felt the ground shake and saw the gray head under the kitten’s front claws.
The young man asked, “Big Brother Wei, who is this cat?”
Wei Huo replied, “It’s an ordinary kitten.”
After leaving the Border Collie’s warm fur, the kitten started trembling again. However, its front paws were very stable. The honey badger could not jump no matter how hard it struggled.
Everyone was speechless.
This was indeed a person who had survived the Dark Age. Even his cat was really cruel.
The badger was still struggling and shouting. Someone asked Su Xiaoyu, “Leader, can you understand what Brother Flathead is talking about?”
Su Xiaoyu was in a dilemma. Moments later, she said, “It seems like it’s saying: If you dare touch a single hair on my body today, my father will slice off your thighs!”
Everyone was speechless. This was the first time they had heard such harsh words.
The honey badger was still yelling. Su Xiaoyu translated. “It said: You provoked me today. I’ll take revenge someday. Don’t let me escape, or I’ll make you bleed on the spot.”
Wei Huo walked over. “Kill it then.”
In the end, the badger screamed in fear. Su Xiaoyu translated again. “It said: If you kill me, my father, grandfather, and Great Ancestor will not let you off. My family will crush your bones!”
A young man asked, “Captain, are you sure? How can Brother Flathead use such flowery language?”
Su Xiaoyu nodded. “Yes, it said a few dirty words. It’s speaking their language.”
Wei Huo said, “Each animal has its own language. This must be an Epic creature.”
“Epic?” Everyone was shocked.
They had never seen a real Epic creature, but they had seen a Rare-ranked creature. A Rare-ranked creature could only be neutralized by using a fully-armed team or a powerful mutant. However, there were rumors that Epic-ranked creatures were a thousand times rarer!
Those who had seen Epic creatures and survived said that Epic-ranked creatures were as big as Godzilla in the movies. They could emit special electromagnetic waves and influence the surrounding creatures. Anyone who was near them would turn into a lunatic. Those who were far away would feel endless fear.
The young man said, “Let it go. Otherwise, we will lure the Epic creature behind it out.”
A middle-aged man said, “If we let it go, it could return to complain. That’s how an Epic creature is attracted.”
The other middle-aged man nodded. “When you’re outside, don’t randomly declare who’s your backer. Because of fear, the other party might end up killing you.”
The badger seemed to understand the human language and started shouting again. Su Xiaoyu translated. “It said that its great-grandfather is a Legendary-level creature. He left a mental imprint in its consciousness. If we kill it, its grandfather will appear and turn us into ashes.”
“Legendary? The Legendary level above the Epic level?” Everyone was shocked.
The young man obviously did not believe him. “Don’t listen to its nonsense. Does it think Legendary creatures are commonplace? Does it think you can meet them easily?”
Other people might not believe the honey badger, but Wei Huo thought that this was possible. No one would be convinced by a creature like a honey badger. No matter what others thought, they would always believe that they were right. If their Dao hearts were so firm, they might be able to walk their own path and become a Legendary being.
Someone said, “It can’t be released or killed. What should we do?”
Wei Huo said, “In that case, we can only suppress it and keep it here. We’ll be far away by the time it starves to death.”
Just as Wei Huo was about to take out the three flags, a loud cry came from afar.
