Xue Feng smiled faintly and said, "I only want to cooperate with you. I won't interfere in their affairs, and of course, I won't meddle if you want to."

As a mercenary, Blood Edge was hardly a good person. For him, if these newcomers didn't bother him, that was fine. But if they blocked his path, he wouldn't mind making them disappear. In fact, if he hadn't been unaware of the rules of the God's Space and whether killing these people would be punished, Blood Edge would have killed them long ago. He did this to prevent these newcomers from saying anything that would confuse the natives of this world.

"Aren't you going to do anything about them either?"

Wu Qingxuan looked at Yi Shuihan with a questioning tone.

"Of course I'm different."

Wu Qingxuan's gaze softened considerably as she looked at Yi Shuihan, but the next moment...

"I can look after that blonde girl, but the others are out of the question."

"Haha, Brother Taiyi is truly magnanimous, even at a time like this he's still thinking about taking care of the little sister."

Xue Feng gave Yi Shuihan a thumbs up, but a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

"How could you do this? I thought you were a normal person before, but I never expected you to be such a beast, not even sparing such a young girl. I will never let you succeed. I will protect her."

Wu Qingxuan looked coldly at Yi Shuihan, taking several steps to the side as if she was ashamed to be associated with him.

“You’ve misunderstood. I genuinely just wanted to take care of her because I used to have a younger sister like that. If she were still alive, she would be about the same age.”

A timely hint of sadness instantly melted away Wu Qingxuan's coldness, and she looked at him with great apology.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before, but it's not right for you to only care about one person and ignore the others!"

"Let me make it clear first, I'm not a good person. I only help those I care about. This is the God's Space, where you could die if you're not careful. To be honest, even we could die at any time, so how could we have the energy to care about others?"

Yi Shuihan's words silenced Wu Qingxuan. She knew this truth all too well, but she just couldn't let go and couldn't bear to do it.

"No matter what, I will go through the process of protecting them."

Wu Qingxuan remained silent for a moment before speaking.

Yi Shuihan simply sighed and said nothing. This world isn't a place where you can be kind to others and expect them to be grateful. He believed that Wu Qingxuan would change after experiencing some things, provided, of course, that she was still alive at that time.

"It's settled then. We'll form three teams and meet here in three days to exchange information. I'm off now."

Xue Feng uttered a single sentence and then headed in the direction the veteran had gone, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Chapter 1075, Encounter with Orcs

Xue Feng was clearly the kind of person who was not to be trifled with, and the newcomers were eager for him to leave, so they did not try to stop him from leaving in the slightest.

As for Wu Qingxuan and Yi Shuihan, they seemed much more normal, especially Wu Qingxuan, who had a strong sense of justice and was easy to trust. If Xue Feng hadn't been there, the newcomers probably would have already come over to try and build a relationship with Wu Qingxuan.

Sure enough, as soon as Xue Feng left, the company's white-collar worker immediately came over with a fawning smile. As an elite in the workplace, Li Yan's emotional intelligence and IQ were higher than those of other newcomers. He knew that in the current situation, it was urgent to curry favor with a powerful figure. This was the God Space where people could die at any time. By clinging to Wu Qingxuan, who clearly had considerable combat power, his survival rate would be greatly increased.

As for how it was known that Wu Qingxuan's martial arts skills were not low, it was because of Xue Feng. After all, one could tell something from Xue Feng's attitude towards Wu Qingxuan and Yi Shuihan.

"I am Li Yan. I used to be a manager at a pharmaceutical company. We are all newcomers here, so we are colleagues. I hope we can complete the mission together and return to the Main God Space."

"I am Wu Qingxuan, and this is Taiyi. Hello."

Wu Qingxuan's intelligence is still intact; she didn't reveal too much information.

Compared to Wu Qingxuan, Yi Shuihan simply nodded to Li Yan before walking over to the blonde girl, not caring about Li Yan trying to curry favor with her.

"Little sister, my name is Taiyi, you can call me Brother Taiyi. What's your name?"

He was saying things that sounded about 3% like someone who had abducted children, completely ignoring the disdainful looks from the three college students not far away.

"My name is Yaduoer, hello Taiyi-gege."

The little girl's crisp, soft voice rang out, perfectly complementing her delicate, doll-like face and adorable big eyes. It was a godsend for lolicon, even making Yi Shuihan, who wasn't a lolicon, tend to become one.

Fortunately, Yi Shuihan was no ordinary person. Although he was only here as an avatar, he still possessed a strong mental state and could calm down completely with just a thought.

Originally, Yi Shuihan treated the little girl differently only because of her special circumstances, but now, even if the little girl wasn't special at all, he wouldn't mind taking care of her.

"Ador is such a good girl. How about your big brother protects you from now on?"

Yi Shuihan stroked Ya Duo'er's little head with his hand. Because he was born with an innate Dao body, this special physique was very attractive to ordinary people. The more contact he had, the more it could even have a slight effect on improving one's constitution. So the little girl did not reject his hand. Instead, she closed her eyes comfortably.

"I don't need Brother Taiyi's protection! I'll protect Brother Taiyi myself, I'm really powerful now."

Ador waved her little fists, trying her best to look tough, but because of her cuteness, she actually looked even cuter.

Yi Shuihan looked at Ya Duo'er with a smile, his mood also improved by her cuteness.

"Stop! Let go of that girl! Let me... oops, I misspoke! Let go of Xiaoduo'er! As an honest, brave, courageous, witty, and friendly young lady, I will absolutely not allow you, you beast, to lay a hand on Xiaoduo'er."

Among the three college students, the one with a hot figure, whose breasts seemed about to burst out of her shirt, and who had her hair in a bun, said fiercely to Yi Shuihan.

"Tong Yan, you must have misunderstood him. I think he's a good person and doesn't have any bad intentions."

Another girl, whose figure was slightly less impressive than the first but who had a celebrity-like face, clutched the clothes of the girl with the youthful face and whispered.

"Xia Xinran, do you have to be so cowardly? You're a black belt in Taekwondo, and four or five ordinary guys can't even get close to you. What are you afraid of? Also, Lin Hao, aren't you usually quite bold? Why aren't you saying anything now? Show me your Lin Ritian aura! Now is the time for you to show your manliness. If you satisfy me, I'll give you a chance to pursue my Ranran. If you can win my Ranran's heart, I can become your lover so that I can be with my Ranran!"

"Tongyan! Don't talk nonsense."

This is a lot of information! Tong Yan, what a good name, it matches her figure perfectly. My Ranran, could she be a lesbian? If so, then what I said at the beginning was correct. Ya Duo'er will likely grow up to be the type Tong Yan likes. Yi Shuihan's mind wandered.

Tong Yan's words did have some effect. The male college student, called Lin Hao, suddenly became bolder, completely blinded by the bright prospects Tong Yan described. He stepped forward and approached Yi Shuihan, saying...

"Don't have any improper thoughts about Ador. I'll be watching you. Come here, little sister, we'll protect you."

Ador looked at Lin Hao, then suddenly ran behind Yi Shuihan, sticking only her head out to say to Lin Hao, "Bad guy!"

"Hahaha!"

Tong Yan pointed at Lin Hao and laughed loudly. Xia Xinran, who was standing next to him, didn't laugh as much, but her face was also full of smiles.

Lin Hao felt extremely embarrassed. He had come to rescue the little girl, but things had turned out this way. He didn't blame Ya Duo'er, but blamed Yi Shuihan. His gaze towards Yi Shuihan became somewhat resentful. He believed that if it weren't for Yi Shuihan, none of this would have happened.

Just then, the ground suddenly began to shake violently.

"what happened?"

"It's...it's an orc."

Hundreds of meters away, a dark mass of orcs, resembling an army from a fantasy blockbuster, was rapidly approaching Yi Shuihan and his group, roughly estimated to be nearly a thousand strong.

At this moment, the three college students were stunned, staring blankly in the direction of the orc army, completely unsure of how to react.

"Run! Run this way!"

Wu Qingxuan's voice finally woke everyone up, and Lin Hao hurriedly started running away, ignoring the other two college students.

Tong Yan ran to Yi Shuihan's side, and seeing that Yi Shuihan was still not leaving, she said in a low voice, "Hurry up and leave! I don't care if you want to die, but don't let the little sister die here."

"He has a good heart, though."

Nodding to Tong Yan, Yi Shuihan picked up Ya Duo'er and started running away.

Chapter 1076, The Game of Slaying Orcs

They fled in the same direction that the veteran and Xue Feng had gone. Leading the pack was the career elite Li Yan, followed by the couple, and then college students Lin Hao, Xia Xinran, and Tong Yan.

Given Wu Qingxuan's strength, she should have been in first place, but she came to the very back, alongside Yi Shuihan, clearly to cover the rear.

Yi Shuihan himself naturally didn't have such lofty sentiments. The reason he was at the back was simply because he felt there was no need to run so fast. His speed wasn't actually slow, just a little slower than those in front who were running with all their might.

Although he said he was running away, Yi Shuihan actually walked away, and his expression was not as panicked as the others; he was quite relaxed.

"Big brother, put me down, I can run by myself."

Yaduoer seemed to think that Yi Shuihan was running slowly because he was carrying her, so she wanted to get off and run herself.

If Yi Shuihan were to put Ya Duo'er down and let her run on her own, she could actually run to the front given her current physical condition. However, Yi Shuihan had no intention of putting her down.

"Don't worry! They can't catch up with us. If they do, I'll kill them. You have to trust your big brother."

"Yes, Duo'er believes in Brother Taiyi."

Ador nodded firmly and didn't mention the rest of the matter again.

Seeing this, Wu Qingxuan nodded to herself, truly believing what Yi Shuihan had said about having a younger sister.

The orc army was physically superior to the new recruits, and some of the orcs were riding mounts. The distance between the two sides was slowly closing.

A minute later, the distance was less than 100 meters. The roars of the orcs echoed in their ears, scaring the newcomers in front of them so much that their faces turned pale and their eyes were filled with despair.

Even with guns in their hands, they still felt no sense of security when facing these orcs.

Suddenly, the wife of the young couple running ahead stumbled and fell to the ground. She struggled a few times but couldn't get up. She had listened to her husband and hadn't chosen to enhance her physical fitness, and she had already reached her limit.

"Honey, how are you? Get up quickly."

"Honey, I...I can't run anymore."

The husband gritted his teeth and picked up his wife, running away. However, this made them the slowest in the team, and they quickly reached the back of the group, at the same level as Yi Shuihan.

"Can you promise me one thing?"

Wu Qingxuan said to Yi Shuihan, her eyes pleading.

"Say it!"

"Take them to a safe place."

Before Yi Shuihan could lead the way, Wu Qingxuan stopped and assumed a defensive stance. She planned to hold off the orcs temporarily to buy time for the others, and then escape herself if possible.

"What a woman full of positive energy!"

Shaking his head, Yi Shuihan also stopped.

"Why don't you go first?"

Yi Shuihan put Ya Duo'er down, wanting her to leave first, but Ya Duo'er grabbed him and shook her head vigorously, "I'm not leaving, I want to stay with my big brother."

"Duo'er, are you scared?"

"With my older brother here, I'm not afraid."

That being said, it's not that Ador is truly unafraid. You can tell from her pale face and trembling body that she's still just a little girl. How could she possibly be unafraid in this situation?

Yi Shuihan smiled slightly, then picked up Ya Duo'er again, this time with one hand, unlike before when he held her with both hands.

"Come on, let Brother Taiyi take you to play a game, a game of killing orcs."

These nearly a thousand orcs were nothing special to Yi Shuihan; they were easy targets to slaughter. If he were willing to reveal his strength, he could wipe them all out with a single blow.

The orcs in front of them were clearly not elite troops. The strongest of them were not even at the Bronze level. The strongest was a tiger-man with an energy level of Black Iron 8 stars, followed by two rhinoceros-men with Black Iron 7 stars, a dozen or so Black Iron 6-star orcs, and then ordinary orcs with an average Black Iron 4-star level.

Even any one of the Bronze Saints could probably wipe out all these orcs.

"Kill these two humans, and I'm going to stew and eat the little girl."

A group of pig-headed people surrounded them. One of them, who was half a head stronger than the others, shouted and drooled as he looked at Ador.

Logically speaking, apart from Yi Shuihan, none of the other newcomers should understand these languages. However, Ador clearly understood the pig-headed man's words. She shrank back, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes. This was naturally the work of the Main God Space, allowing the reincarnators to temporarily possess the language of this world.

For others, this language proficiency is temporary; they'll probably forget it once they leave this world. But for Yi Shuihan, it's a completely permanent memory.

"If you dare to scare Xiaoduo'er, you no longer deserve to live."

As if taking a leisurely stroll, Yi Shuihan walked towards the talking pig-headed man. The orcs who attacked him were easily dealt with by him with one hand. As soon as they were touched by his hand, they froze on the spot, as if they had been acupunctured. In fact, although they were still intact on the surface, they had been crushed to pieces by Yi Shuihan with skillful force.

"What are you doing? Kill him right now!"

"No need to call them anymore, they're all dead. You're next."

Yi Shuihan's hand was already swinging towards the pig-headed man's head.

"go to hell!"

The pig-headed man raised a spiked mace and swung it at Yi Shuihan's hand, seemingly already envisioning the scene of Yi Shuihan's hand being smashed to pieces by the mace.

The next moment, the spiked club in the pig-headed man's hand, along with his entire body, split in two and fell to the sides. Until he died, the pig-headed man still couldn't understand how he died.

"Big brother, you are awesome."

Faced with this terrifying scene, Ador was not afraid at all. Instead, she looked at Yi Shuihan with admiration, her eyes sparkling like little stars.

"There's definitely a reason why I was chosen to enter the Main God Space."

Yi Shuihan was surprised.

"The best is yet to come! You can watch from the VIP seats."

Yi Shuihan tried his best to control his strength, maintaining it at the level of Black Iron 7, and began to move towards Wu Qingxuan's location. At this time, Wu Qingxuan was surrounded by several Black Iron 6-star orcs and had already fallen into a disadvantageous position.

One step, one kill—that's exactly how Yi Shuihan is right now. Beastmen keep rushing in, trying to kill Yi Shuihan, but they are all killed instead, and then more keep coming to their deaths.
