At this moment, Caesar had completely transformed into the appearance of Natsume Masahiro.
He sat obediently in the corner of the truck bed, lowering his head slightly, perfectly replicating the inferiority and cowardice that a marginalized little person should have.
Next, as long as he kept a low profile and sneaked into Tokyo City with this mob from the Three Mouth Gang, the first step of the plan would be considered a complete success.
Zhou Huai thought silently, a single thought flashing through his mind.
Several Information Bugs, resembling flying mosquitoes in the forest, silently flew out from his cuffs, vibrating their barely audible wings and blending into the dense forest ahead.
Soon, through the shared vision of the Information Bugs, he saw the leveling team of the Three Mouth Gang not far away.
The scene was somewhat comical.
Four members of the Three Mouth Gang were flurriedly besieging two pitch-black giant apes whose size was comparable to adult brown bears.
The giant apes had thick skin and tough flesh, yet their movements were exceptionally agile; every time they waved their cattail-leaf-like big hands, they could easily swat a Professional flying away.
【Iron-skinned Forest Ape】, a level-thirty elite mutant beast, renowned for its astonishing defense.
"Baka! You bunch of trash! Aim for its eyes! Eyes!"
"Its weak point is in the eyes!"
Only the bare-chested man tattooed with a ferocious beast face sat open-legged on a broken tree stump.
He had a grass stem dangling from his mouth, occasionally shouting loudly, but completely devoid of any intention to join the fight himself.
Zhou Huai thought to himself that this must be Takeda Masao, Natsume Masahiro's older brother mentioned in the data.
Those four subordinates had clearly given it their all.
Blades hacking onto the Iron-skinned Forest Ape could only spark a string of fire and leave a shallow white mark.
The fireball spell released by the mage was even more like scratching an itch; aside from singeing a few monkey hairs, it couldn't cause any substantial damage at all.
Zhou Huai watched silently.
Judging by their painstaking monster-grinding speed, they probably wouldn't be able to accumulate the 30% experience value needed for Takeda Masao to level up even by dawn tomorrow.
No.
This was too slow.
He had to help them.
As he pondered, a few more small bugs flew out silently from Caesar's wide sleeves.
The size of these small bugs was many times smaller than the previous Information Bugs.
They were almost invisible to the naked eye.
Yet their speed was astonishingly fast, turning into a few imperceptible black lines as they quietly flew toward Takeda Masao's team.
This was precisely the skill Caesar comprehended at level ten.
Alien Parasite.
Back in Daxia, Zhou Huai had never had the opportunity to use it.
The effect of this skill was too vicious and too sinister.
Zhou Huai couldn't bear to use it on his own compatriots.
But upon arriving in this Sakura Country, he completely lost any ideological burden.
Those few Alien Parasites landed silently on the four Classer who were entangled in battle with the Iron-skinned Forest Ape.
One of them landed precisely on the bare back of the neck of a burly man.
That burly man only felt a slight numbness on the back of his neck, as if he had been bitten by a mosquito.
Subconsciously, he raised his hand to slap it away.
"Slap!"
A crisp sound rang out.
Beneath his palm, however, there was nothing.
He withdrew his hand with curses, his attention returning to the thick-skinned giant ape in front of him.
He didn't notice at all.
Just the split second before he raised his hand, that small bug had already sliced an extremely minute wound on his skin using its incomparably sharp mouthparts.
The wound was as thin as a hair, not even oozing a single drop of blood.
As for that small bug, like a fish that had found its home, it burrowed straight in instantly.
The entire process was as smooth as flowing clouds and moving water, reaching the ultimate speed.
The same scene also occurred on the other three Classer.
Either they felt an itch in their arms while blocking the giant ape's attacks, or they felt a pain in their backs the moment they were swatted flying.
But on this fierce and chaotic battlefield, this negligible feeling was quickly cast to the back of their minds.
As these Alien Parasites successfully entered their bodies.
The situation on the field instantly underwent a bizarre change.
"Roar!"
The burly man who was parasitized first suddenly let out a roar unlike that of a human.
His eyes, which originally still carried a trace of fear, instantly turned entirely crimson, filled with terrifying bloodshot veins.
He abandoned all defensive postures, letting the Iron-skinned Forest Ape's cattail-leaf-like big hand heavily slam into his chest.
"Bang!"
A muffled impact sound rang out.
The burly man's chest visibly caved in by a chunk, and large mouthfuls of fresh blood sprayed from his mouth.
Yet not only did no painful expression appear on his face, but instead he grinned, revealing a ferocious and crazy smile.
Leveraging this immense force, he actually took advantage of the momentum to close in, using all his strength to fiercely hack the mountain-splitting axe in his hand straight into the giant ape's eye socket!
"Splat!"
Foul-smelling blood mixed with turbid brain matter burst out like a fountain!
The Iron-skinned Forest Ape let out a heartbreaking, painful wail.
"Right! Right right right! Hit it just like that!"
On the tree stump, Takeda Masao, who originally still wore an impatient expression, suddenly stood up from his seat!
He waved his fists excitedly, his face filled with wild joy.
"That's how it should be! Bring out your blood!"
"Trade injuries for injuries! What the hell are you afraid of!"
As if to verify his words.
The other three Classer also completely fell into madness at this moment.
They abandoned all dodging and blocking, acting like mad dogs as they launched a suicidal attack against the two Iron-skinned Forest Apes in the most primitive and savage manner!
A mage actually rushed directly in front of the giant ape, violently thrusting the burning staff straight into the giant ape's wide-open bloody maw!
Another assassin allowed the giant ape's arm to pierce through his own shoulder, yet took this opportunity to accurately deliver the venom-coated dagger in his hand into the giant ape's heart!
The battle was declared over in a mere dozen seconds.
The two arrogant Iron-skinned Forest Apes crashed to the ground.
Their corpses were covered in ferocious and terrifying wounds, with hardly any intact spots anywhere.
As for those four Classer, at this moment every single one of them was injured and drenched in blood all over.
They looked as if they had been fished out of a pool of blood, panting heavily as they collapsed onto the ground with a thud, completely lacking even the strength to stand up.
But on everyone's face was a kind of excitement of having survived a catastrophe.
"Killed... killed it!"
"Damn it, it feels so fucking good!"
Takeda Masao looked at the battle results before him and nodded with satisfaction.
He walked over to the corpse of one Iron-skinned Forest Ape and kicked its huge head.
"Now this is more like it."
With an excited smile on his face, he habitually opened his attribute panel, preparing to check the increase in experience value.
However, the next second.
The smile on his face suddenly froze.
"Hmm?"
Takeda Masao rubbed his eyes hard, leaned closer, and carefully looked at his experience bar.
That blue light bar representing the experience value had only moved forward by a trace, almost imperceptibly.
"That's not right..."
The excited expression on Takeda Masao's face instantly collapsed, replaced by a look of astonishment and puzzlement.
"Where is my experience value?"
"What's going on?"
"Why did killing these two Iron-skinned Forest Apes only give me a single point of experience value?"
He suddenly turned his head to look at the subordinates who were still slumped on the ground panting.
"What about you guys? How much experience did you share?"
Hearing this, those few lackeys also blankly opened their attribute panels.
A moment later, everyone's face revealed an expression of confusion identical to Takeda Masao's.
"Boss... I seem to... have also only shared 1 point of experience value."
"Me too..."
"This... How is this possible?!"
Takeda Masao's roar echoed through the forest.
Meanwhile.
In the truck bed in the distance.
Inside the mind of that "Natsume Masahiro," who had always kept his head down and existed like a marginalized person, a cold System prompt quietly sounded.
【Ding!】
【Obtained 3,211 points of experience value!】
【Obtained 3,312 points of experience value!】
