98: Blood Yang Ginseng

"Since we can't escape anyway, say whatever you want!" Wei He didn't want to say anything more at this point, only hoping that the multifunctional infantry vehicle would arrive soon.

Zhao Dan rode on horseback, approaching Wei He's Beast Carriage with a smug look. He had already begun to fantasize about the scene where Wei He would give Neme to him and beg him to accept her, while Neme would rush to plead with him not to hurt Wei He. At the thought of this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Run! Why aren't you running anymore? You almost got away. Ah, hahahaha! To think you'd offend me here and still expect to run. Start thinking about how to make me happy in a bit; otherwise, you'll never leave here for the rest of your lives!" Zhao Dan's eyes had already scanned Neme's body eight hundred times.

"Aren't you the son of the Judicial Magistrate? Why are you together with the Demon Race?" Wei He asked with a look of confusion.

"Does that even need asking? Naturally, it's because we are cooperating with the great Demon Race. Sooner or later, this world will belong to them. Although this is the territory of the Lingshu Kingdom, it was occupied by the Demon Race long ago. It doesn't matter who I'm an official for or who I serve!" Zhao Dan looked at Wei He as if he were an idiot.

"Haven't your reinforcements arrived yet?" Neme looked at Zhao Dan; although he looked okay, he made her feel incredibly disgusted.

"Soon, hahahaha. People like this are just spineless cowards who only know how to bully others using their influence, just like a dog!" Wei He looked at Zhao Dan's arrogant manner and smiled helplessly.

"You—humph, in a moment, you won't be able to smile anymore. Come, pin him down for me!" Zhao Dan's eyes were bloodshot and wide open, as if he wanted to devour Wei He.

Several nearby Demon Soldiers stepped forward, attempting to seize Wei He. Wei He circulated his Supernatural Ability energy, and his hands immediately turned golden.

Seeing Wei He's resistance, the Demon Soldiers immediately thrust their spears. Wei He grabbed a spearhead in each hand; in his hands, the spearheads were like wax, snapping instantly.

Wei He pressed forward, engaging in close-quarters combat with the Demon Soldiers. However, the moment he grabbed a Demon Soldier's body, he knew he was finished. The Demon Soldiers' strength was far greater than his; no matter how much force Wei He applied, he couldn't budge them an inch. A Demon Soldier grabbed Wei He's arm and swung him away with a casual toss. What followed was a brutal beating by a group of Demon Soldiers.

They caught Wei He and threw him around like a ball, kicking him back and forth. Wei He's mouth was full of blood, and he was so dizzy he couldn't even cry out anymore.

"Hahahaha! This is the consequence of offending this young master! You have a bit of skill, but didn't you call me a dog? Then you can stay and be my dog! Hahahaha!" Zhao Dan dismounted his horse, walked up to Wei He, and stepped on him as he lay on the ground.

Then, he looked at Neme sitting on the Beast Carriage, looking so elegant and charming. He said excitedly, "Little beauty, don't be afraid. As long as you serve me well, I won't kill him. Hahahaha! But I want him to serve us both. How about it? You don't want him to die, do you?"

"Humph, what does his life or death have to do with me? Go ahead and kill him!" Neme's words were tough, but her eyes couldn't help but drift toward Wei He.

"If you're unwilling, not only will he die, but you'll also be sent to the military camp. You'd better think carefully!" The corners of Zhao Dan's mouth curled up as his smile gradually became frenzied.

The surrounding Demon Soldiers laughed lewdly upon hearing this, shouting filthy obscenities.

Neme thought of Henry's scaled limbs; these Demon Soldiers were of the same race as him and were likely the same. Although she was terrified, she remained firm and said, "Kill us if you want, but you will never have me!"

"Fine, you said it!" Zhao Dan took a spear from a nearby Demon Soldier and pointed the tip down toward Wei He.

At this critical moment, the spearhead Zhao Dan was thrusting toward Wei He stopped. His entire body, including the iron spear, was enveloped in a blue ripple. The ripple extended and connected with the Neutron Eraser on the other side as a Chrono Legionnaire appeared out of thin air beside Wei He.

This sudden development caused the Demon Race commander, Gavin, who was on horseback, to widen his green pupils. He involuntarily shouted, "Demon God-level spatial energy fluctuations! It's Space Magic! This is impossible, how can this be? Space Magic has been lost for hundreds of years!"

Shocked, Gavin scrambled down from his horse, wanting to approach the Chrono Legionnaire. He couldn't afford to offend a Demon God-level figure. If he had known that a Chrono Legionnaire is vulnerable while attacking and has no special protection, one wonders if he would still be so panicked.

Before Gavin could reach the Chrono Legionnaire, screams erupted from the rear of the Demon Soldiers' ranks.

Gavin turned to look; a strange square iron box was firing a green ray. When the ray hit a Demon Soldier, their entire body dissolved into a pool of green pus.

"What is this thing?" Gavin watched as the Demon Soldiers were wiped out one by one by the iron box. The green ray emitted from the box actually carried Demon God-level energy fluctuations as well. His understanding of the world was completely overturned—was this an era where Demon Gods were everywhere?

"They're here. I finally held out until the end!" Wei He said as he lay on the ground. He had originally planned to hold out until the multifunctional infantry vehicle arrived, but he hadn't expected Zhao Dan to try and kill him. With no other choice, he had to order the Chrono Legionnaire to come to the rescue.

After all, it takes a Chrono Legionnaire some time to erase an enemy, and he hadn't brought many people this time. They could easily be killed by this group of Demon Soldiers if they weren't careful. He wouldn't have had him reveal himself to help unless it was a special circumstance.

As he spoke, Neme and several Spies also got down. they propped up Wei He, and Zhao Dan also disappeared from where he stood.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly, back to the city!" Gavin mounted his warhorse and began charging toward the city gate. The group of Demon Soldiers also threw away their armor and fled desperately after Gavin.

The anti-air tracked vehicle also arrived in front of Wei He. Just as everyone was about to help Wei He into the vehicle, a person emerged from the nearby bushes.

Wei He was startled, but looking closely, it was actually Wu Yidan, the young clerk from the Apothecary.

Wu Yidan came before Wei He and said respectfully, "Benefactor, this is blood sun ginseng. It is a sacred medicine for healing. Please take it quickly!"

"I didn't expect you, a young clerk, to have such a good thing!" Neme took the item from Wu Yidan's hand and examined it carefully.

"This belonged to that black-hearted boss. He only got these things by colluding with the Demon Race. I took them with me when I left!" Wu Yidan explained to Neme.

"This thing can not only heal but also increase your power! Wei He, take it quickly!" Neme handed the blood sun ginseng to Wei He.

After swallowing the blood sun ginseng, Wei He felt a scorching heat throughout his body as a surge of power flowed through him. A wave of pain also swept over him. "Ah!" Wei He finally couldn't bear it and cried out.

"Quickly circulate your Supernatural Ability energy to merge with this power! Don't just endure it, or you'll only suffer more!" Neme instructed Wei He.

Hearing Neme's words, Wei He sat on the ground and began to circulate his Supernatural Ability energy. Slowly, visible changes occurred on Wei He's body.

Wei He's hands turned golden, then his arms, shoulders, and head. Gradually, his entire body turned golden. Finally, the initial pain in Wei He's body slowly turned into a comfortable sensation. At last, he stretched his body and stood up.
