Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 1245: An Expert Who Has Eaten

[I know I need someone familiar with the local situation, but after all …]

Alan raised his hand and smiled, "I know what you mean, Laura." Like I said, I don't trust him. But I'm not worried that he'll betray us so easily. At least, our Mr. Nick will retain his basic loyalty until there are more powerful Barbarians than me. As for race, you don't have to worry. The Balts are filled with chaos and they don't have enough loyalty to their fellow citizens. "

"Just imagine, if the Black Emperor or the Demon King are not strong enough, their subordinates will remain loyal to these two supreme beings?" Alan shook his head. "I don't think so. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any betrayal of Sbernak by the Black Emperor. In the end, there are simple and rough rules on this planet. But Agares is purer than anywhere else."

"Because this is a place where only experts can survive."

At this moment, Lim's curse sounded from the other side of the kitchen. Then, the sturdy woman and the bitter-faced Nick walked out. The two of them were carrying large plates and small plates. There was quite a lot of food on them. However, when they were placed on the table, everyone doubted whether they could be eaten. No matter what, it looked like these jade-colored or purple paste-like items had nothing to do with delicacy.

"Follow the customs of the countryside. Let's try Lim's craftsmanship." Alan picked up the purple paste and took a sip. It tasted a little astringent, but a fragrance spread out from his throat. What surprised him was that this bowl of paste-like food contained quite a bit of energy. Ordinary people were afraid that eating a bowl of this kind of food could last a day.

"Hey hey hey, don't rush to eat. God knows if you guys will eat free food. Come, pay up first. This meal is considered a green crystal. If you want to stay, you can pay another deposit." The woman shouted, "I, Lim, have always been fair in my business. It's not expensive to go to the wastelands, let alone the Land of the Lost!"

Ellen didn't know what the price was. He nodded and said, "Well, it's fair."

Lim stretched out his big hand.

"We don't have any money with us."

Lim's expression immediately darkened, while Nick opened his mouth wide, almost suspecting that he had heard wrongly.

Alan laughed, "But it doesn't matter. Someone will send the money soon."

"Who?" Lim roared.

"Iron Hand."

"Iron Hand? Why did he send you money?"

"Because he wants to cause trouble for me, and for those who dare to cause trouble for me, I think you also know what will happen." Alan picked up the purple paste and took another sip. "What is this thing made of?"

"A local reptile and a tree root called Purple Kudzu are ground into powder and added with a proper amount of water to make it your drink." '"Interesting. It's the first time I've heard of someone who doesn't take Iron Hand seriously after opening a shop here for so many years. Since you've said so, I'll wait. If you get rid of it, I'll chop you all into meat sauce and sell you all for free," Lim said.

"You won't lose money." Alan blinked.

Nick opened his mouth to say something, but he suddenly couldn't say a word. The air seemed to condense in an instant, as if an invisible hand was tightly grabbing his throat. Nick's big eyes gradually rolled upwards. Just as he was about to be crushed by the invisible aura descending from the sky, he saw Alan gently patting the long saber on the table. The feeling of life-threatening dissipated a lot, and he finally breathed out.

Lim snorted and said, "Iron Hand is here. I need to find a good seat to watch the play."

She wriggled her butt, which was as fast as the table, and strode away. Alan looked at the woman in surprise. Nick was too weak to feel anything. However, in Alan's perception, an enormous aura was enveloping the surrounding space. However, this aura was mottled and messy. Although it had the strength of a Federation Admiral, it was inferior to the Kidd called Sidi.

However, a town at the Lost Realm was guarded by an expert equivalent to a general. This was not simple. Even if this person's strength was great, it could not be ignored.

Of course, what he couldn't ignore was not the strength of this Iron Hand, but the great figure who could control this power behind him.

"Hey, don't fight in my hotel!" Cried Lim as he walked to the hotel door and slit his throat.

A muffled voice sounded, "As long as they come out, I will never break a table or a chair, Lim."

Then he said, "People inside, you killed a few of my watchdogs. Do you have to come out and give me an explanation?"

"Let's go. The one paying the bill is here." Alan picked up Red King and said, "Later, see who is interested in the end. Tidy up this Lord Iron Hand."

Hubble put on his helmet and said, "Let me do it. The Kidd man from before was killed by you. I haven't had a good time yet."

"Don't worry, you'll have a good fight this time." Alan patted the big man.

They walked out of the hotel, and a large area had been cleared out on the streets. Dozens of Barbarians surrounded them, looking very lively. Among them, there was a man who could not be called tall, but was absolutely sturdy. The muscles on the Baltic's body were like carved lines. He was naked and had short black thorns on his forehead and chin. His right hand was a mechanical arm, which was probably the origin of his nickname Iron Hand. What Alan noticed was that he had dark green stripes on his body, which wriggled like his blood vessels from time to time.

Nick whispered to the side, "Iron Hand often eats green crystals as food. He has the special ability to digest the energy of green crystals. It can be said that he eats all of his strength. Lord Alan, you have to be careful. Iron Hand is no match for Trek who you killed."

"An expert who ate it?" Alan smiled, "No wonder his aura is so impure. So it was eaten …"

Nick had a strange expression on his face. He didn't know what Alan was laughing at. The green crystals were filled with energy. For those experts in the Great Wasteland, it was normal for them to regularly absorb the energy of the green crystals to increase their Origin Energy levels. The weaker experts would also carry the green crystals with them, so that they could absorb the green crystals' energy to replenish their Origin Energy at any time when the battle was stuck.

Of course, this Baltic wouldn't know that a high level of energy that absorbed a large amount of foreign energy like this would not only cause the Origin Energy in his body to be extremely unstable, but it would also cause the Origin Energy to be impure. It was like a piece of gold mixed with brass. It looked no different from pure gold in appearance, but its quality was far from perfect.

Not to mention Alan, even Hubble and the others had accumulated their Origin Energy bit by bit. Although their advancement was slow, their strength didn't have the slightest bit of water. Once they broke through to Level 30, experts with a lot of water like Iron Hand wouldn't be taken seriously by them at all.

Seeing Allen and the others appear, Iron Hand's gaze fell on Allen, who was in the lead. He said in a low voice, "Humans? It's rare. So you killed my watchdog? Although they're idiots, damn it, you don't know how difficult it is for someone to use them in this damn place."

He took two steps forward and emitted his majestic aura without holding back. Even if it was an expert who ate it, no matter how impure his Qi was, Tie Shou was still an expert who broke through the 30th level of the Heavenly Pass. At this moment, the pressure of the aura was released, and the other Balts nearby who were planning to watch the show all retreated with bitter expressions. As a result, the entire street was backed away with this retreat.

On the other hand, Lim, who was watching the show inside the hotel gate, was still standing in his original position. This sturdy woman didn't seem to be that simple. Even though he looked uncomfortable under the might of the Iron Hand, he wasn't as uncomfortable as the others.

Alan only released a bit of aura to surround Nick and himself, so that Nick didn't have to be nearly strangled by Iron Hand's invisible aura like before. Seeing that Alan was calm and composed under his aura, Hubble and the others did not change their expressions even though they reacted to his aura. They knew that they were not small characters at first glance. However, Iron Hand was confident in himself. This confidence was based on his past record of being invincible. Ever since he took charge of Green Light Town, he had fought more than a hundred small battles, but he had never been defeated.

In the past battles, there was no lack of hard ideas like Alan and the others.

At this moment, Alan stepped forward and said, "That's right, we killed him. How does Lord Iron Hand plan to deal with this matter?"

Iron Hand looked at Nick and said, "It seems like you know quite a bit. That's easy. You have two choices. One is to replace Trick and the others and be my subordinates. The other is to stretch out your necks and let me tear your heads off!"

"You're very confident." Alan smiled.

"When you stay in this damned place for ten years like me, and no one can touch you in these ten years, you will also have this kind of confidence." Iron Hand said in a deep voice.

Alan nodded, "That makes sense, but I don't like either of your choices, so I gave myself a third choice."

"Oh, what is it?"

"I'll kill you. I'll be the master of Green Light Town."

Tie Shou laughed out loud, "Trust me, many people have said the same thing to me before, but they all turned out to be food in Lim's kitchen."

"Is that so? Perhaps today will be an exception?"

Iron Hand's laughter suddenly subsided, and the corner of his eyes twitched. "Then you can try it."

"I'm not interested in fighting with you, but I have someone here who is willing to accompany me."

At the end of Alan's words, Hubble walked past him with his axe in hand. Looking at Hubble, Iron Hand grinned and said, "What's going on? I can already smell the stench of the Gatu pig. Your combination is really strange."

Hubble's voice came from the helmet, "Speak, speak, for soon you will have no time to speak, you mouth full of bad breath!"

"It's rare to see someone as sharp-tongued as you in Gatu. I've changed my mind. I won't kill you, but I want you to be a piece of trash to feed!" Iron Hand began to walk towards Hubble. At the same time, miserable green and pale purple light emitted from his body, and his aura rose steadily. The two colors of light gradually condensed into some sort of armor on his body, which made the iron hand look even more majestic.

However, at this moment, a dazzling purple light shone beneath the iron hands and feet. He stopped and looked down. At some unknown time, purple symbols began to float on the ground. The symbols that the iron hands had never seen before even covered the entire street. The purple light talisman rose from the ground like a pillar of light. Iron Hand was trapped in this pillar of light. At this moment, one of the symbols landed on his body, and Iron Hand's aura immediately diminished by a point.

As the pillars of light gathered, countless Eboynes words burned all over Iron Hand's body and then disappeared into his body. Iron Hand's Qi, Origin Energy, continued to pour out like a flood tide that had opened a sluice gate, lowering its rank again and again. When the level stabilized, he actually fell to the level of Level 25 in a single breath.

The streets were strangely quiet. Everyone noticed the abnormal changes on Tie Shou's body. Iron Hand looked at his hands in disbelief. Finally, his gaze shifted to Alan. When the pillar of light rose, purple light swam through Alan's bright red eyes. Obviously, the mutation on his body was related to this human. He shouted angrily, "What did you do?"

Apart from his anger, his voice also carried a hint of fear.

Alan smiled and said, "Since it's a duel, of course it has to be fair, don't you think?"

Tie Shou didn't answer, but Hubble walked back and sat down on the ground, "I'm not going to fight anymore!"

Alan looked at him.

Gatu's voice carried a hint of reluctance, "What fun is it in fighting when you pull him up to Level 25 all of a sudden? He's like this, I can kill him with one hand, he's boring and boring."

"Picky guy." Alan smiled and gave him a light kick.

Tie Shou's face turned green with anger as he walked out. The youth's face was silent, but his aura was constantly being released. He directly used actions to replace words. Seeing that Hubble didn't fight, but a human youth came out, Tie Shou suddenly felt that there was nowhere to put his face. He had been in charge of Green Light Town for many years, but he had never suffered such humiliation before. He was filled with shock and anger, but a sinister smile appeared on his face. He didn't know what Alan had done, but if he was afraid of fighting because of this, then he really couldn't continue living here.

Regardless of whether it was the Great Wasteland or the Lost Realm, they would be scolded wherever they fled before the final battle. If Iron Hand was afraid to fight, not to mention being laughed at locally, even the lord behind him would not let go of Iron Hand. However, if Iron Hand used lightning to kill the youth in front of him first, then looking for someone below the stairs would be another matter. Afterwards, he could ask for reinforcements from that lord, so it was none of his business to deal with Alan next.

After finishing his abacus, he looked at Bai, who was only Level 24 or Level 5, and his iron hand strode forward and threw a punch at Bai's head.

Bai did not dodge and raised his arm to bend his elbow. However, at the instant of the collision, the white skin floated up and covered the rest of his body like a tidal wave. Iron Hand said, "Eh?" Only then did he realize that Bai was not a human.

The fist landed on the white elbow, and an exceptionally dull collision sounded on the street. The ground beneath their feet was immediately crushed to three points. Iron Hand shouted and grabbed him in vain with his other hand. The youth was unwilling to be outdone and reached out to support the giant palm of the iron hand.

Then there was the inadept wrestling.

The Origin Energy of both sides erupted at the same time. The body of the iron hand still emitted a purple and green light, while the white body emitted a hazy gray light. The Origin Energy of both sides collided unreservedly in space. The joints of their entire bodies trembled lightly, and the ground sank deeper and deeper under their wrestling power, causing cracks, large or small, to spread out in all directions.

Moments later, the buildings on both sides of the street were implicated. Some of the foundations subsided, while some of the outer walls exploded. The Barbarians who were watching the battle let out a series of cries of alarm. Bai and Tie Shou's figures were so disparate, but in a pure battle of strength, the seemingly thin and weak Bai had not fallen at a disadvantage.

Only Alan knew Bai's strength and how great his potential was. Bai had indeed sacrificed many advantages in transforming from the King Snake into an adult form. For example, the pure strength of the King Snake was much stronger than the human form. However, it wasn't entirely useless to transform into an adult form. For example, some melee combat skills could only be used in a human form.

After a few seconds of stalemate, the two of them saw that the Origin Energy was unable to suppress Whiteness. Iron Hands raised his head slightly and smashed down again, wanting to use a barbaric head hammer to break the stalemate.

A smile flashed in his eyes and he also shook his head to welcome them.

The two heads collided, but Iron Hand let out a soft cry. He was knocked back, and blood oozed from his forehead.

Another series of cries of alarm came from the crowd.

The Baals did not grow strong, but the white ones looked like humans on the outside, but their internal organs and bones were far from humans. If Iron Hand evaluated Bai's physical strength by human standards, he would definitely be mistaken. Alan thought to himself. If this was calculated, Bai's human appearance was simply like those exotic beasts on the snowy plains. It was extremely deceptive.

After misestimating Bai's physical strength, he was knocked back by the collision. Iron Hand finally stopped his retreat. Seeing the people looking at him with astonishment, he felt a sense of shame on his face. He gritted his teeth and roared angrily as he strode towards Bai, seemingly wanting to use the momentum of running to knock Bai away.

"Brutal, brutal, completely without any skill." Ellen whispered, "Are all the so-called experts here like this?"

Nick probably also felt that Iron Hand had not been able to gain the upper hand, causing him, who was also a Baltic, to feel shameful. "Lord Iron Hand is indeed an expert, but there are still many people stronger than him in the Great Wasteland," he forced a smile.

"Oh, that's interesting." Alan said indifferently.

Looking at the scene again, Bai didn't clash with Iron Hand this time. He pounced on the Barbarians, but just as he was about to hit the iron hand, he stretched out his foot and swept it. Tie Shou interrupted him and immediately lost his balance. Bai took the opportunity to put his hand on the Baltimore's waist and raised his iron hand, which was several times thicker than him. Then, he spun around and smashed his iron hand onto the ground. Tie Shou was dizzy from the impact. He could only hear the dense vibrations in his body. Bai Shou's hand had already left behind a large number of hidden wounds in his body. It was unknown how many bones had been shattered by his vibrating technique.

At this moment, the youth grabbed Tie Shou's thick leg and took advantage of his breathing to lift him up and fly. After a few rounds, he let go and threw it out. The iron hand flew out like a cannonball and smashed into a triangular building across the street. After knocking down several walls, the building collapsed unsteadily.
