Chapter 14: The Otaku Who Was Thrown Out to Train

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

An army of well-dressed soldiers who looked like a special combat unit was advancing rapidly on the ridge.

They were silently following the leader who was frowning at a compass in his hand.

Behind this unit were more than a dozen people.

It was obvious that they were ordinary people from their sloppy formation and staggering march under the hot sun. They were dressed in all kinds of clothing, including jeans, flip-flops, and tank tops. There were even a few people who looked like tourists and were carrying backpacks, sunglasses, and so on.

When they reached a shady spot, the leader made a gesture. These people instantly stopped, then each found a spot to rest.

After waiting for about 15 minutes, the group of travelers behind slowly caught up.

When they saw the fine troops, they were overjoyed. One by one, they found a random place with them and sat down without caring about their image. They even shouted disheartening words like “It’s so hot, so damn hot,” and “I shouldn’t have come.”

The leader frowned again and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

At the end of the day, these lazy people were just ordinary people and could not be compared to them.

His eyes swept around. Among the people following him, he found someone scrolling through his phone in boredom while hiding in the shade.

“Wu Daxiong!”

He shouted loudly.

“Here, here, here!”

The hand of the person scrolling through his phone trembled. He quickly stood up and reluctantly walked to his side.

“Captain Xiao is looking for me?”

“Grand cultivator Cheng Yifan said that Xi Hongshi is in the western suburbs of Jiangnan City. According to the compass, the area a few kilometers ahead is an ancient mass grave. If nothing goes wrong, the traitor is there. At that time, we can all count on you.”

Captain Xiao said helplessly as he looked at the young man with a buzz cut, wearing denim shorts, canvas shoes, and a white T-shirt.

Originally, he had planned to seek help from the Superpower Administration in Jiangnan City to send suitable people to help them capture the Xihong World. However, the Superpower Administration in Jiangnan City rejected his application on the grounds that the situation in the front line of the war in the north forest park was tense.

Captain Xiao still had some understanding of the crocodile calamity in the northern forest. He heard that a fake Buddhist had bought a few crocodiles from the market and set them free in the north forest park for the sake of his own desires.

Originally, this was just a small matter. There had been an endless stream of people who had set them free since ancient times.

As long as they caught the crocodiles and chopped them up to feed the dogs, there would be no complications.

But this time, something big happened.

The crocodiles he had bought to set free were not ordinary crocodiles. They were the largest crocodile in the world, the saltwater crocodile.

The saltwater crocodile was also known as the Crocodylus porosus, a killer crocodile.

It can reach a maximum size of 7 meters.

As for the crocodiles that had been released, having eaten something in the forest, their lengths exceeded the limit of 7 meters, reaching more than 20 meters.

The leader was even more so, reaching more than 30 meters.

They rampaged through the forest park, invincible.

Almost all the people from the Superpower Administration in Jiangnan City had moved out to provide support. They had no time to care about the defectors in Xiangxi.

However, it was not as if the Superpower Administration in Jiangnan City had not helped them. They recommended the list of members of the special ability users among the citizens of Jiangnan to Captain Xiao and the others.

Following the list of espers, Captain Xiao first took a fancy to Taoist Cheng Yifan.

As the leader of the espers in Jiangnan City, Taoist Cheng Yifan’s strength was outstanding in the official records.

With his help, wouldn’t the capture of Xi Hongshi be easy?

Unfortunately, Cheng Yifan was not interested in their intentions and was unwilling to take the initiative to come.

However, in order to prevent Captain Xiao from returning empty-handed, Taoist Cheng Yifan had roughly calculated the location of Xi Hongshi.

This way, he would be giving Captain Xiao face.

Originally, he had already made his contribution to help capture the traitor, although he had yet to arrive.

However, Wu Daxiong suddenly barged in and reached out to ask him for money…

What did he want money for? He was either buying useless things or playing games. This brat still owed him tens of millions, but he actually dared to ask him for money?

He stayed at home every day and did not leave the house. He was even better at restraining himself than a virgin in ancient times.

How could this be?

Therefore, he waved his hand and asked Captain Xiao to take Wu Daxiong away.

He had already understood Xi Hongshi’s strength from Captain Xiao. Even with Tang Long and Tang Hu around, with Wu Daxiong’s mastery, there was no need to worry.

As for the remaining people, their actual level was only average and they were just here to make up the numbers.

Captain Xiao couldn’t even be bothered to remember their names.

“Ah… count on me? Didn’t you say that you wanted me to see the world? Why are you counting on me now?”

“I’m an otaku who doesn’t even dare to kill a chicken. Now, you want me to capture a vicious traitor…”

“Don’t, don’t, don’t… call me. Let someone else go.”

Hearing this, Wu Daxiong was shocked.

He was an otaku who spent all his time in the dormitory. How could he suddenly become the main fighter to catch a fugitive?

He remembered that old Taoist Cheng Yifan had told him to see the world and then stay at the side to learn about the battles between espers.

Why were they counting on him now?

“You don’t have to worry about that.” Captain Xiao looked at the panicked Wu Daxiong and secretly spat in his heart.

How did this coward cultivate to the Exceptional Level?

But the official registration form would never be wrong.

“When the time comes, you just have to stand far away and use your… what… Great Waterfall… technique on Xi Hongshi. Leave the rest to us.”

“Water Releases Great Waterfall Technique!”

“Yes, use the Water Releases Great Waterfall Technique on Xi Hongshi.”

“Great cultivator Cheng Yifan has always praised this spell you developed. It’s extremely powerful and can even destroy a building. I think it won’t be a problem to deal with one person, right?”

When he first heard Cheng Yifan talk about the power of this spell, Captain Xiao was also shocked.

What did it mean for a building to collapse? Its power was comparable to a tsunami.

The kid in front of him looked timid but he actually had such ability?

“Huh? Won’t you ask me to compensate you for destroying a house?”

“I owe that old Taoist priest tens of millions. What am I damaging? I don’t have money, I only have my life.”

“…”

“In the wilderness, there are no houses, only some weeds and bushes. Don’t worry, even if it’s compensation, it’s from the country.”
