Chapter 45: It’s Good to be Alive

Translator: Lonelytree

Gulp!

Reid swallowed hard.

The words of rejection were stuck in his throat, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t utter them.

Because An Kai’s face was already filled with displeasure because of his procrastination.

The big iron rod that was flickering with black light was gently waved in An Kai’s hand.

There was a whooshing sound.

Should he go or not?

The thought echoed in Reid’s mind.

Before An Kai jumped down from the shoulder of the [Stone Giant], he nodded. “My lord! No problem!”

Seeing this, An Kai chuckled. “Good.”

Then, he cast four Frost spells, forming a thin layer of ice behind the necks of Reid and the others.

“The weather is too hot, so I’ll help you cool down.

“The effect only lasts for an hour. Take care of yourself.”

Gulp!

Reid swallowed hard again.

He understood what An Kai meant.

The ice layer behind his neck was a threat.

According to An Kai, if they still could not complete the mission An Kai had given them an hour later, this ice layer would become their death!

“My lord! Don’t worry. We’ll definitely complete the mission!

“We are upholding justice.”

Reid laughed awkwardly and quickly changed his words.

At this moment, how could Reid not understand An Kai’s thoughts?

He was eyeing the resources of the orcs!

He knew it. Why would An Kai suddenly have a sense of justice?

Although he understood, Reid wouldn’t say that.

Not only would he not say it, but if An Kai succeeded, he would also publicize it.

He was involved in this matter. If he could use this to bind himself to An Kai, Reid felt that his life in Chaos City would be better in the future.

An Kai and Reid communicated with a secret code, then signalled for Reid and the others to leave.

Reid led the three resentful warriors over a desert dune and headed toward the orc gathering place a few hundred meters away.

Could Frost really kill Reid and the others in an hour?

It wouldn’t.

But would Reid believe An Kai if he told him this?

He wouldn’t either.

After living in the desert for a long time, if An Kai didn’t arrange for a few threats, Reid and the others wouldn’t listen to him.

They would be on tenterhooks, afraid that An Kai would backstab him.

With the threat of the Frost spell, it was like An Kai had given Reid and the others some reassurance.

At least they could be sure that An Kai would not suddenly attack them.

The reason why it was like this was because they had experienced too many similar situations.

An Kai had also thought it through.

If there really was someone among the orcs that he was no match for.

He would definitely run away.

As for Reid, he would not save him.

He didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with letting Reid and the other three become cannon fodder to test how many powerhouses there were in the orc gathering place.

He had saved Reid and the other three. If it weren’t for him, Reid and the others would have become the food of the orcs.

The value of the storage ring that Reid handed over was far from enough to repay him for saving his life.

Therefore, sending Reid and the others to the gathering place of the orcs was more like a way for Reid and the others to repay An Kai.

An Kai and the [Stone Statue Giant] lay on the top of the sand dune, looking at the orc gathering place not far away, waiting for Reid and the others to return.

Five minutes later.

The orc gathering place suddenly let out a roar, followed by Reid’s group of four, who suddenly ran out.

Two of the warriors had bent arms and broken legs. They were carried forward by Reid and another warrior.

Behind them, nearly 100 orcs holding huge weapons rushed out with furious expressions!

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.

After all, with the injured on their backs, Reid and the other’s speed was affected.

While escaping, Reid kept waving his arms, sending a secret signal to An Kai.

“Two Stage Two Rank Three, one Stage Two Rank Two, five Stage Two Rank One, and seventy-nine Stage One.”

Through Reid’s gestures, An Kai knew the strength of these orcs.

After some calculations, he felt that it shouldn’t be a problem.

After all, he had occupied the high ground!

However, he was not in a hurry to make a move.

He was still waiting. First, he was waiting for the orcs to stop appearing.

The second was to wait for Reid and the others to get within 50 meters of him.

This distance was the effective distance for his Fireball to maximize its power.

If it were further away, the power of the Fireball would be slightly reduced.

Of course, if Reid couldn’t last more than 50 meters, he wouldn’t save him.

Life and death were determined by fate.

This was something that every human living in the desert knew.

You could never predict which one would come earlier, an accident or death.

It was also this kind of environment and this kind of mentality that had nurtured the humans in the desert to fight with everything in every situation.

Reid shook his arms as he ran.

An Kai did not take the initiative to show up.

He knew that An Kai was waiting for the right opportunity.

If he couldn’t hold on until that chance came, An Kai wouldn’t have saved him.

He couldn’t ask An Kai to save him.

If he were in An Kai’s shoes, Reid would have made the same decision.

After understanding the cause and effect, Reid no longer waved his hand. He had already delivered the message.

All he had to do now was to survive.

However, his speed was still too slow in the eyes of a Stage 2 orc!

As he ran, Reid wondered if it was an illusion.

He could vaguely hear the heavy breathing of the orc with a green face and fangs.

The next moment, a loud roar came from behind Reid!

A figure leaped up, and the shadow covered Reid!

“We’re finished!”

A life and death situation!

A fireball that emitted a scorching aura suddenly attacked!

Boom!

With just one attack, the orc above Reid’s head was sent flying by the fireball!

He fell to the ground, his life and death unknown!

Reid let out a long breath. Suddenly, he fell to the ground as if he had lost all his strength.

He exchanged a smile with another warrior who was carrying a wounded soldier.

“We survived.”

Reid mumbled and put the injured person aside. He sprawled out in the desert.

He looked at the sky, which was covered in fireballs, and could not help but think, “Can a Stage 3 Mage really do this?”

Boom!

As the first fireball descended!

The prelude to the war had suddenly begun in this space!

An Kai stood at the top of the sand dune, holding the [Brute Force Staff].

Fireballs that emitted a scorching aura quickly flew out from him!

Not far away from Reid, a fireball fell, turning this place into a living hell!

Huge craters that emitted a scorching aura appeared one after another!

The orcs, who were furious just now, had become lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Under this overwhelming fireball spell, he howled miserably.

The orc’s wails sounded like pleasant music to Reed’s ears.

He looked numbly at the blazing fireballs in the sky and muttered, “It’s good to be alive..”
