Swallowed Star (All Chapters) Volume 1

Volume 4 - Chapter 21: Palace of WarGods

Tiger captain Pan Ya couldn't help but to charge towards those battle uniforms and corpses. As he looked at the bloody remains, the tiger captain bitterly clenched his fists.

"Pan Ya, they're already dead. What's the point in being sad?" lowly shouted the veteran named Liu.

"Oh, what's going on?"

The man named Wang smiled as he looked over and the mixed youth immediately laughed as he explained: "Uncle Wang, it's like this. My dad let me come out here to get some combat experience. Not only is old Liu and Ka Long protecting me, but a warlord level fighter squad was also hired to protect me, in case we need more people. However, five out of the six members of their squad died, so he's the only one left".

"Six of them, and five of them died?"

A deep voice carried out from the throat of the huge brute, "Isn't this squad just too weak!"

"Mr. Li" said the veteran named Liu respectfully, "It's actually not because the tiger fang squad is too weak. Truthfully, in the past few days when we left to give our young master some combat experience, the two squad members guarding our point encountered an attack by monsters and died right there! And this time, when we were resting on the sixth floor, we were also mysteriously attacked by a gigantic monster horde.... those three were weaker, so they died in the monster horde".

The man named Wang slightly frowned.

The huge brute also said in a confused tone: "What's going on?".

It's very rare for a monster horde to attack a location where the fighters are hiding. And since this happened twice in a row, there's clearly something wrong!

"Someone's causing this behind your backs" said the man named Wang silently, "It's probably someone who has a grudge against the tiger fang squad!".

Luo Feng was hiding in a bathroom on the second floor of a residential apartment building. His breathing was already as weak as it could get, but Luo Feng, who didn't dare to make a sound, couldn't help but to be surprised after clearly hearing what that man named Wang said: "This guy sure hit the mark!".

"Someone with a grudge against the tiger fang squad?" Pan Ya walked over here.

"Uncle Wang?" The mixed youth also had a confused look on his face as he looked towards the man named Wang.

"Even though your dad has enemies, all of them are WarGods! A WarGod wouldn't bother to come and kill a child like you. If that happens, then your dad will surely go mad and eradicate that person's entire family" the man named Wang smiled as he said, "And also, if a WarGod wanted to kill you, you would be dead within your first day of leaving the headquarter city".

The mixed youth nodded.

"Your dad did the right thing. Li Wei, the training you're undergoing is the best of the best. However, your current fighting strength is quite average". The man named Wang asked, "How's your fitness level now?".

"My fitness level counts as an intermediate warlord. However..... I can only fight against most 'low level commander level monsters'" answered the mixed youth.

"Average! Very average! Or you could say..... below average!".

The man named Wang said in a dissatisfied tone, "Man's intelligence is higher than monsters'! A horde leader's intelligence is only roughly equal to a human's! So..... a true fighter should be able to fight against a monster that's the same level as him. A few messed up fighters can even fight against monsters above their level! Your fitness level is that of a intermediate warlord's, and yet you can only fight against a beginner level commander? You still lack lots of training!"
