Chapter 427 - 416: Ignorance Is Fearless

Shen Tang, "???".

Is this guy serious?

She stared intently at Fu Teng’s face, trying to find a hint of joking—but his eyes were passionately intense, he actually wanted to elope with her!

"You..." Shen Tang was so shocked she was at a loss for words, "You’re the second-in-command of the rebel army! You have a close relationship with the leader! You have so much secret intelligence, how could you just leave?"

"That’s why I can’t escape alone. Don’t I need your help?"

Before Shen Tang could recover from her shock, she heard him suddenly asking seriously, "You’re from the Night Glow Empire, aren’t you?"

Shen Tang’s pupils shrank instantly, her face showing vigilance, "How do you know?"

Fu Teng shook the bell on his wrist, smiling, "Of course, I tracked you."

"You!" Shen Tang’s face turned darker, she grabbed the collar around her neck and was about to throw it away.

This thing had a tracking function!?

So this man had been tracking her all along!

Seeing Shen Tang was really angry, Fu Teng rushed forward to stop her, "No, no, don’t throw it away, I didn’t mean to harm you, I was just afraid you’d get lost."

He anxiously explained, "Xiao Gua, I admit keeping you here was purposeful, but I saw through your disguise long ago, if I wanted to harm you, I would have done it a long time ago, I just wanted you to help me escape."

Shen Tang’s hand holding the collar paused.

Indeed, with Fu Teng’s abilities, if he intended harm, he could have acted long before.

She wanted to see what this guy was up to.

Seeing her calming down, Fu Teng took a deep breath and hesitated, "You put so much effort into coming here to find a way to deal with the Living Corpse Army, right?"

"If you can help me leave, it would be good for you too." Fu Teng gave a bitter smile, "To be honest, that bastard brought me here to research how to enhance the combat capability of the Living Corpse Army!"

"Necro’s zombies can only last three days, that’s why he needs me to research regeneration! To extend the lifespan of the living corpses."

Shen Tang’s pupils contracted sharply. Although she had guessed seven or eight points before, hearing this truth made her whole body feel cold—the plan was downright depraved!

It’s madness!

Fu Teng said coldly, "Although I’m not a good person, I don’t want to help him research such harmful things! But if I don’t help him, he will kill me, I really have no choice..."

Fu Teng looked at Shen Tang with hope, "Xiao Gua, if you take me away from here, I won’t have to help Necro develop the Regeneration Potion."

Shen Tang was struggling intensely inside.

Although feeling a slight affection for Fu Teng, they hadn’t known each other long, and besides, they were in opposing camps. Not to mention this guy was more scheming than she imagined, he wasn’t a pushover... can she really trust him?

Seeing her hesitation, Fu Teng bit his lips and pulled out a dark green potion from his arms, "Actually, I’ve already developed it. This is the Living Corpse Enhancer, it not only extends life but also greatly enhances the fighting power of the living corpses!"

His voice trembled, "Necro only gave me three days’ deadline, if I don’t deliver it, he’ll kill me, but if I do, the Night Glow Empire will surely suffer a catastrophic disaster!"

Fu Teng suddenly grabbed Shen Tang’s wrist, his fingers icy cold, "Xiao Gua, take me away! Staying one more second in this ghostly place will drive me crazy!"

Those ever-smiling green eyes were full of despair, "As long as you get me out, I’ll do anything!"

The system solemnly reminded, [Host, I’ve scanned it, Fu Teng isn’t lying to you, what he’s holding is indeed the Living Corpse Enhancer.]

[This man isn’t ordinary, it seems he developed it long ago and just didn’t hand it over to Necro.]

[If Necro truly obtains the potion and its formula, the Living Corpse Army’s strength will greatly increase, we likely won’t be able to withstand it!]

Shen Tang frowned, "Isn’t the blood serum about to be developed?"

[The blood sample you obtained isn’t from Necro, the research data is limited, the blood serum made can only target the current version of the Living Corpse Army.]The system’s voice was even more serious, [Once the army is enhanced and the energy data changes, not only do you need to get Necro’s Essence Blood, but you’ll need to spend a huge amount of points to redevelop a higher version of the blood serum.]

Shen Tang cursed under her breath.

She didn’t have that much money anymore.

"I can help you escape."

Fu Teng’s eyes suddenly lit up, then dimmed again, "But I can’t leave... now." He suddenly tore open his sleeve, revealing a hideous blood curse mark on his arm, hating bitterly, "That bastard hit me with a Blood Curse when I was off guard, I’ll never step out of the rebel army’s lair in this life."

Shen Tang was puzzled, "So what should I do?"

Fu Teng said, "How you escaped that night, just take me out the same way, since you can break through the power barriers of the Blood Clan, you can definitely take me out too!"

Shen Tang asked the system, "Can I teleport him away?"

[This system’s teleportation function is only for the host, outsiders can’t use it, but you can let him enter your space, the space and you are one, you can take him along when you teleport away.]

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Tang nodded, "Alright, I agree to take you away."

"Great, let’s go now!" Fu Teng said eagerly.

Shen Tang was surprised, "Don’t you have anything to take with you?"

Fu Teng didn’t care, "Just a pile of junk, nothing worth taking, you just take me away."

"Then... you have to enter my space first."

As soon as Shen Tang finished speaking, Fu Teng felt the world spinning around him—

Before his eyes was an endless farmland, with green crops gently swaying in the breeze.

Fu Teng took a deep breath, the fresh scent of soil instantly filled his nostrils.

"This! This is your space?!" His eyes widened round, "Xiao Gua, you actually have such abilities! I knew I didn’t misjudge you!"

"You stay here first," Shen Tang said, "I’ll let you out when we get to the destination."

"Alright, I like it here." Fu Teng sat on the ridge of the field, casually plucking a blade of grass and biting it, "This is much more comfortable than that crappy house~"

Just as Shen Tang stepped out of the space, countless scarlet threads appeared in the air, the next second, Necro’s figure appeared before her like a specter.

"Where did this rat come from?" The man’s scarlet eyes squinted, his entire being exuding a surge of killing intent.

Shen Tang didn’t have time to react before the overwhelming scarlet energy roared toward her! It pressed her so hard she could hardly breathe or move!

Almost at the same time, countless green vines burst from the ground, weaving a shield in front of her.

The moment the two forces collided, the entire space trembled!

"Go! Don’t tangle with this lunatic!" Fu Teng’s voice came from her body, "I can hold him off!"

Necro’s eyes flashed with surprise, then he sneered, "Trying to help him escape?"

Scarlet energy churned in his palm, his voice taunting, "Fool, do you know what you are trying to release?"

"He’s still better than you, a perverted monster creating living corpses!"

Shen Tang’s figure vanished instantly.

Necro unexpectedly didn’t pursue, just looked at the spot where she disappeared and sneered lightly,

"Ignorance is fearless."
