The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them - Chapter 173.2

Moreover, these three people had each supplemented what the others had not discovered.

But if one were to say they had already discovered everything, Su Li couldn’t nod with a clear conscience.

However, this wasn’t important either.

After all, so-called rules – since the recognition of “rules” still existed, it proved that such things still had flaws.

No one considered humans eating three meals a day as any kind of rule, nor did anyone consider human physiological needs as any kind of rule.

The sun rose in the east and set in the west.

These things that were integrated into life, integrated into every aspect, were the easiest things to uphold.

Another point was that since the word “rules” had been emphasized so many times, it proved that the Beast King perhaps had not integrated various rules into the recognition of daily life.

This point was very important. Whether from intuition or rational judgment, Su Li thought so.

The Beast King had not told those monster beasts why they should follow those rules, and was constantly emphasizing the word “rules” at all times.

It was like… mechanically copying and applying.

Su Li’s eyes flashed, then he said, “Since you all know, then let’s make a hypothesis.”

“If you wanted to make Gabriel no longer follow those rules, what would you do?”

“Of course, this question doesn’t need to be considered right now, just think about it slowly.”

As Su Li spoke, he placed the Raven that had been nestled on his head, acting like a decoration to avoid being discovered by the land monster beasts in the city, into his palm.

“What we need to consider now is whether we can defeat those monster beasts…” The young man looked ahead and sighed softly.

Under the moonlight, in an area that should have been a plain, large amounts of water vapor rose up.

Gabriel, who had originally been immersed in emotional fluctuations, turned cold in expression. He assumed a defensive posture and hurriedly said, “It’s aquatic monster beasts!”

As his words fell, an ugly-looking fish floated directly in the water mist and launched an attack at him.

“Protect Lord Su Li!” Egbert instantly raised his vigilance.

“I know that without you telling me.” Roy looked at the aquatic monster beasts trying to attack them and let out a sneer.

The number of these monster beasts was considerable – over ten of them compared to their few people meant they had to ensure each person could handle at least two enemies.

But as a non-combatant, Su Li obviously didn’t possess this ability.

The only thing he could do was be protected in the middle by everyone, coldly observing the characteristics of all the aquatic monster beasts.

Fortunately, Egbert, who had already gained understanding of light and heat, no longer treated elements as mere power. On the side he was guarding, large amounts of water vapor were directly evaporated, forcing those aquatic monster beasts that had transformed into their original forms to take human form and engage in close combat with him.

Having endured the Raven’s hammer, suffered the dragon’s beating, and closely observed the combined battle of the unicorn and mermaid, Egbert possessed extraordinary experience in close combat.

When facing these aquatic monster beasts, this experience became the most powerful weapon. In a one-against-three situation, Egbert didn’t fall behind at all, and even vaguely managed to use his battle awareness to forcibly reduce the gap in elemental power levels.

In a moment of carelessness, the monster beast closest to Egbert was directly pierced through the heart by the spear in his hand.

In a one-against-two situation, Egbert appeared even more relaxed.

On the other side, Lan Zhe was impatient with close combat.

Although he could do it, he wasn’t willing to dirty his hands.

Potions with unclear effects were directly lifted by dark elements, and numerous dispersed elemental factors were all under the control of the Dark Holy Son. At that time, each small cluster of power carried part of the potion, until those dark elements lifted the potions to sufficient height, then dropped them all at once.

Continuous screams rang in their ears, but Lan Zhe naturally stretched out both hands and covered Su Li’s ears.

“Don’t listen to those terrible sounds that pollute the ears.” Behind Lan Zhe was a group of aquatic monster beasts corroded beyond recognition. He smiled lightly and said, “Su Li just needs to stand here and wait for us to present victory to you.”

Roy, not far away, pressed the back of his neck. When he heard these words, he responded from afar. “That’s natural.”

“I feel like the only thing we can do is help the little master fight battles.” As he spoke, Roy clenched his fist, secretly hiding the ice elements he output in the water mist.

In an instant, he turned all the water mist into ice crystals.

The sound of heavy objects hitting the ground continuously rang out, but what surprised even Egbert was that the two enemies Roy faced were also frozen into ice blocks in the middle, and then, visibly, those ice blocks scattered to the ground under the division of ice elements, granting Roy’s enemies eternal death.

“I’m thankful that the attack patterns of these monster beasts were all patiently explained by the Raven before.” Roy still acted as if nothing had happened, saying with a brilliant smile, “After this battle ends, Lan Zhe, you must prepare more dumplings. Now we not only have to feed the little master, but also that Raven that eats everything.”

The Raven’s eyelid twitched. Maintaining the form of a half-human-height raven, he unhappily stretched out his claws, yet easily penetrated the scales of the enemy approaching him.

“What good does being sarcastic do you?” the Raven said.

“What good it does me I don’t know, but it definitely has absolute benefits for the little master.” Roy stretched his head, his posture looking inexplicably lazy. He said, “Let’s make a bet – the little master’s slow height growth must be suppressed by you.”

As soon as this statement came out, Su Li decisively withdrew the hands he had extended toward the Raven.

He had just habitually gone to receive the victorious raven in battle, waiting for the other to shrink and continue nestling on his head.

Comparing his height difference of over twenty centimeters with others, Su Li said with a calm tone but not-so-calm mood. “Let others carry you recently.”

Raven: “……”

The Raven laughed in anger, but didn’t target Su Li. Instead, he stared at Roy, his voice inexplicably cold and deep. “Do you think you didn’t fight enough just now? If so, I don’t mind having another round with you.”

“I mind!” Roy raised his hand to refuse. “The little master minds too!”

“It’s sleeping time now, what’s the point of fighting?”

As these words fell, compared to the ease with which the humans and raven had dealt with their enemies, Gabriel had only just pressed the last crab under his claws, firmly digging it into the ground.

What was even more ridiculous was that compared to other humans trying to gather intelligence, he, who should have been irreconcilable with the other two tribes, had actually left one alive in this encounter battle.

Gabriel forcefully patted the crab under his claws, confirming it had fainted, then the gray wolf transformed into human form and said, “I say, why did you all strike so quickly?”

“When you fought with me before, you didn’t seem so brutal…”

Each of their attack methods was simply outrageous. Egbert instantly evaporated the water vapor, Lan Zhe instantly poisoned a whole area, and Roy, aside from consuming more elemental power, didn’t even have a scratch on his body.

Unlike him, who when fighting the crab had a large tuft of fur pulled out.

…The appearance on his human form body was a bald patch in his hair.

Gabriel sadly touched his scalp.

“We already said, we just wanted to ask you for directions then.” Roy said while gathering all the monster beast corpses together. Egbert cooperated tacitly by compressing light elements and instantly exploding them on those corpses.

Blazing flames somehow rose up, igniting everything and leaving no traces.

“So you didn’t fight me to a draw, but felt it necessary to fight me to a draw?” Gabriel’s mouth twitched.

Lan Zhe led Su Li toward a protruding hill. They would probably have to rest here tonight, but it was better to stay as far as possible from where they had fought.

Hearing Gabriel’s words, Lan Zhe replied in a light tone, “Correct. Your reward is to keep watch tonight.”

Gabriel: ???

“Don’t so naturally assume I’m on the same side as you all.”

Egbert, hearing this, slowed his pace following beside Su Li. He turned his head to answer Gabriel, who was standing in place. “Compared to dying at the hands of these nameless ordinary enemy monster beasts, dying at the hands of the dragon Elvi, Elvi Bessemer, would be more dignified for you, wouldn’t it?”

“And you can start thinking of ways now, considering how to leave wounds on Elvi when you encounter her.”

Egbert quickened his pace toward Su Li’s position.

He already had partial solutions for how to change Gabriel’s abnormality.

Fighting poison with poison was a good choice.

Above rules, there should also exist greater rules.

However, now Egbert needed to think about how to snatch a spot beside Lord Su Li from the other two when sleeping.

This was obviously a difficult problem.

Roy and Lan Zhe, these two people, simply didn’t understand what it meant that humility was a virtue.

Gabriel was speechless and could only carry the fainted crab toward the rapidly constructed camp.

When the crab woke up, what it saw was Lan Zhe cooking a hot pot. The Dark Holy Son also said curiously, “I wonder if there’s a way to quickly distinguish between transformed monster beasts and natural monster beasts. Leia doesn’t need Su Li that much, probably because the aquatic race has a large number of natural monster beasts. Speaking of which, the number of offspring fish produce in one litter is simply exaggerated.”

Although the quantity was large, the strength was much weaker.

“So why are you asking whether this crab is a natural monster beast?” Roy sat in a chair, holding a bowl in one hand and hard stick-shaped bread in the other.

Lan Zhe held the spoon handle, stirring the food cooking in the hot pot. When he heard Roy’s words, he turned his head and said, “Of course, because if it’s a natural monster beast, then he and humans belong to two completely different species, which means we should be able to eat him.”

Crab: !

“Whether the meat is too tough or too tender doesn’t matter, as long as it’s edible means that when conducting prolonged warfare in the future, this is also a supply.” Lan Zhe said with an unchanged expression.

Crab: !!

This aquatic monster beast transformed into human form without thinking.

“Don’t eat me!” The crab in human form looked like a broad, fat male.

But everyone showed no surprise at his transformation, including Su Li.

When this crab woke up, Lan Zhe, who had originally been cooking the hot pot, directly glanced in the crab’s direction.

Egbert had also quietly moved closer to Su Li’s side at that time.

Who knew that crab hadn’t maintained unconsciousness to try to gather intelligence, but was directly tricked into full consciousness by just a few words.

Gabriel, holding a piece of bread and approaching the fire that warmed people, added at the right time: “It looks like this crab is indeed a natural monster beast.”

The crab directly showed an expression of being scared nearly senseless.

Roy, speechless, put aside his cleaned bowl and actively dragged the crab to a secluded place for interrogation.

Not long after, the two-star mercenary returned without the crab by his side.

Unlike Gabriel at that time, they had indeed needed to ask for directions then. Based on this premise, Gabriel, who had actively attacked, still had the possibility of surviving.

But this crab was different. When this group of aquatic monster beast squad saw them, they immediately launched an attack, and their attack stance was aimed at putting them to death with every move.

After Roy returned, he condensed ice elements with one hand while having Egbert melt them into water for washing dishes.

While washing dishes, he said, “That crab was from a small group of aquatic monster beasts. This group’s function is like reconnaissance troops sent before human wars, with the purpose of exploring Ergonikin’s recent movements.”

“The Beast Tribe’s attitude toward declaring war on the other two tribes is too obvious. Since Leia has no intention of submitting to the Beast Tribe, his future attitude toward the three-tribe situation will inevitably tend toward cooperating with the Winged Tribe. Moreover, the Winged Tribe recently split from the dragons and is in a weak position. If the Beast Tribe wants to attack, utilizing mobility to launch a direct assault should be the best choice.”

“These small groups were sent out based on this point.”

Regarding these results obtained from interrogation, Egbert’s attitude was: “Even if they could investigate Ergonikin’s movements, it wouldn’t be of much use.”

“When Ophelia attacked the Mercenary City, she directly involved Willard. Not to mention anything else, Willard also understood about seventy to eighty percent of the internal intelligence of the Mercenary City at that time.”

The importance of intelligence…

Lan Zhe handed Su Li a cup of hot milk. After seeing the latter hold it in his palms, he joined the conversation. “The purpose of Leia sending people to investigate might not be to gain pre-war advantage. Elvi’s movements after being supported are easy to predict – she couldn’t possibly start large-scale warfare with the current state of the dragon race.”

“Additionally, the dragon territory still belongs to the Winged Tribe’s domain. Elvi couldn’t possibly stay there with the dragon race for long.” Lan Zhe used the other end of his chopsticks to draw a circle on the ground, pointing to part of the circle and saying, “Conversely, the main purpose of Leia sending small groups to investigate is to explore the timing of Elvi’s approach to the Beast Tribe.”

Knowing this time point, if nothing else, Leia could at least prepare in advance for Elvi having already obtained Su Li.
