Just woke up, Viola still looks a bit pale.? The influence of Devouring Demon Centipedes on her was too great just now, so when she woke up, she still felt a bit confused.? David walked up to her, looked at her pale face, and took out a gene fruit from the system warehouse.
“Eat it.”? He tossed it to Viola and said softly.? When Viola saw the gene fruit, her eyes widened, and she quickly nodded.? After eating the gene fruit, Viola finally returned to normal.? She stood up and looked around.
“Where’s Devouring Demon Centipedes?”? Viola had been unconscious when David killed Devouring Demon Centipedes, so she had no idea that it was already dead.
David pointed to a piece of Devouring Demon Centipedes’ flesh on the ground and said, “It’s right there.”
This startled Viola, and she quickly ran behind David.? When she saw that it was just a piece of meat, she finally understood.? Her face was filled with shock as she looked at David:”You…? you killed it?”
David calmly nodded, as if killing Devouring Demon Centipedes was no big deal to him.? Viola had fainted just by making eye contact with it.
But now, David was acting like it was a common occurrence.? This left Viola stunned.? She had only exchanged a glance with Devouring Demon Centipedes before fainting.? But David had managed to kill it so quickly?? She also felt the extraordinary aura radiating from David.
In this moment, Viola was completely impressed by David.? Before, her admiration for him was because of his appearance and his superhuman strength at the twelfth level.? But now, it was because of his aura, which didn’t belong to this world.
However, from start to finish, David remained calm and composed.? To him, killing Devouring Demon Centipedes was just dealing with an ordinary monster.? So, he didn’t pay much attention to Viola’s reaction.
At this moment, the ominous aura from the distant forest grew stronger and formed a dense fog that rose into the sky.? Some flying creatures exploded in mid-air before even getting close to the fog.
Clive furrowed his brows once again.? He looked at David and hurriedly said, “We need to leave here quickly!? This is a warning from the Zerg King!? It’s not the time to confront her.”
After speaking, Clive looked worriedly at David, fearing that he might act impulsively again.? He knew that if the Zerg King attacked them, all the Zerg would be mobilized.? Although David’s strength had reached a terrifying level, the number of Zerg was in the tens of thousands.? Clive believed that a direct confrontation with them was not a good choice and might even alert the legendary god in the barren world. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑙．𝑐𝘰𝘮
This time, David thought for a moment and then nodded, which surprised Clive.? But he finally felt relieved.? The three of them left the area.
Inside the Dark City Base, David sat on the couch, enjoying a glass of fine wine, while Viola was still in shock from what had just happened.? Clive visited David’s base for the first time and was immediately shocked by the decoration and setup here.? He couldn’t help but feel embarrassed when he thought about his old, run-down wooden house.? Taking a sip of red wine, David asked Clive, “Why were you in such a hurry to leave earlier?”
Clive pondered for a moment and said, “There are too many Zerg, and your current goal is the Zerg King, not those insignificant Zerg ants.? If you were to fight them, those hateful creatures could overwhelm you.”
Clive’s words were accurate.? As the most significant force in the wasteland world, the Zerg had already reached a number in the tens of thousands, and they were continuously breeding and increasing.? There was a trend of covering the entire wasteland world.
So, in case the Zerg King launched a real attack, those creatures would be the first to swarm.? Even if they weren’t individually powerful, their sheer numbers could pose a significant threat.? If a few more guardian insects like Devouring Demon Centipedes appeared, Clive believed it could seriously harm David.? Thus, he strongly urged David to leave.
David naturally understood Clive’s intention.? He had asked the question to gauge Clive’s thoughts.? While he regarded Clive as an elder figure and hadn’t seen any signs of betrayal, David was cautious.? In this world, one had to be careful and respectful of its survival rules.? So, David nodded and continued to savor the wine in his glass.
Seeing David, Clive seemed like he wanted to say something else but hesitated.? He then awkwardly smiled and asked, “By the way…? how’s the Bronze Compass working out for you?”
David nodded and replied, “It’s good.”
“Is Emlyn still obedient?”? Clive continued his habit of poking around for information.
David nodded again, then cut to the chase, saying, “Clive, if you have something to discuss, just say it.”
Clive scratched his white hair in embarrassment and said, “Old man here has only heard of gene fruits but never tasted them.? How about you give me a couple?”
While they were in the Zerg territory earlier, Clive had envied Viola holding a gene fruit.? He had heard that these fruits could rapidly replenish a person’s strength and energy.? High-quality gene fruits could even lead to a qualitative breakthrough in a person’s abilities.? So, he finally expressed his interest in gene fruits.
Hearing Clive’s request, David smiled faintly and said, “Clive, I thought it was something serious!? It’s just gene fruits, right?? When you go back to Dragon City, have Sally pick a hundred or two hundred for you!? These few are for you to taste the flavor first.”
David took three gene fruits from the system warehouse and handed them to Clive.? Clive was taken aback by David’s suggestion.? Picking a hundred or two hundred gene fruits?? Did that mean these precious items were as common as radishes and cabbage in David’s eyes?
The three gene fruits in his hand were already more than enough for him.? Clive quickly accepted them, feeling satisfied.
“Well then, I won’t stand on ceremony,” Clive said with a smile as he accepted the three gene fruits.? His wooden house materialized nearby, and he was eager to return and taste these legendary fruits.
Originally, he wanted to ask David to modify his small wooden house, but he thought better of it.? He didn’t want to be too greedy.? He walked into his wooden house, carrying the chair he had always kept by his side as if it were a treasure.
“Then, I’ll take my leave!”? With that, Clive followed his small wooden house and departed from the base.
