“Adams, I still don’t understand. How could there be such high-level equipment under the rock?”

Vivian followed Adams through the forest, but she couldn’t help but feel curious.

Adams looked around and made a guess based on what he had seen. “This should have been a long time ago. At that time, Mankind’s resources should have been quite abundant, and the battle had extended to the Zerg world. The battle must have been very intense at that time, resulting in many military resources being behind in this world. In the end, we are the ones who benefited!”

Vivian nodded vigorously and asked, “You know the military situation very well. Your family should have a military background, right? That’s why you know about the missing military supplies like the back of your hand!”

“Uh…”

Adams hesitated for a moment before nodding. “You can think of it like that!”

Vivian nodded with a smug expression, as if she had already guessed this was it. She hurriedly said, “Then, after the coming-of-age ceremony, can you visit the Kevin Family as a guest? My father will definitely welcome you!!”

Stroking his chin, Adams gave an awkward nod to brush it off.

The Super Hint System was his trump card, and he couldn’t reveal it to anyone. Thus, in order to dispel Vivian’s curiosity, he had no choice but to pretend to be a military descendent to conceal it.

Seeing that Adams had accepted her invitation and that she had made a great contribution to the family, Vivian was so excited that she skipped along, with a little more of the cheerfulness of a young lady and less of her usual steadfastness.

“Hint! 500 meters ahead, there are humans who need reinforcements!”

Suddenly, the system’s voice rang out in his mind. Adams immediately became alert. He drew out the Winter Sword and rushed forward.

Although Vivian didn’t know what was going on, when she saw that Adams was on guard, she drew her bow and followed him.

In a valley, a group of ginormous scorpions were attacking a large tree that three people could wrap their arms around. A trembling fatso was squatting on a thick branch of the tree. He had one hand tightly wrapped around the tree trunk, while his other hand was plucking some stone-like fruits from the tree and continuously hurling them down the tree.

Surprisingly, every time the fatso threw a fruit, it would accurately hit the stinger of a scorpion under the tree, greatly slowing down the scorpions’ attacks. Adams and Vivian, who had rushed over to support the fatso, were stunned.

“This guy is a genius!” Adams exclaimed in amazement as he watched the fatso.

Vivian whispered in a low voice, “The problem now is that there are so many high-level Zergs. Can the two of us handle them alone?”

As Adams turned his attention to the swarm of scorpions, the system’s voice echoed in his head, “Hint! A-rank Zerg, Poisonous Swamp Scorpion. The stinger is extremely poisonous and dangerous!”

Adams laughed in disdain. Even the S-rank Crimson Spiders at the bottom of the mountain have all been killed by me. What’s a couple of A-rank scorpions to me?

Adams pulled out a lightning spell scroll from his ring before turning to Vivian and saying, “Just you wait, I’ll wipe them out!” Adams pulled out a lightning spell scroll from his ring before turning to Vivian.

“Don’t!”

Vivian hurriedly pulled Adams back, and said with a slightly reluctant expression on her face, “Don’t waste something so valuable here. Let’s try to clean up the area from the outside first, and see if we can kill these scorpions!”

Adams was too lazy to show Vivian his assets, and also to share that he had experience in killing scarlet spiders, so he simply nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll clean up in the front, and you can cover my back with your bow and arrow!”

Vivian nodded and drew her bow fully, prepared to back Adams up at any moment.

Adams quietly approached the periphery of the scorpions and chose a scorpion that was facing him. He brandished the longsword in his hand, and the sharp azure blade instantly cut off the scorpion tail.

At the same time, a layer of frost rapidly formed on the surface of the scorpion’s body and instantly turned it into a lump of ice. Furthermore, the frost continued spreading towards the surrounding scorpions, freezing six scorpions in a row.

Adams looked at the Winter Sword in his hand and exclaimed excitedly, “Is this the power of an S-rank weapon? This feels awesome!” At the same time, his shout alerted even more scorpions.

Immediately, some of the scorpions that were gathered under the tree turned around and surrounded Adams.

Whoosh!

Just as Adams was about to be surrounded, a red crystal arrow pierced through the air and nailed onto the head of a scorpion. Several scorching pillars of fire immediately burst out and roasted four or five scorpions around it to medium-well doneness.

After witnessing the power of the two S-rank weapons, Adams’ confidence soared. He raised his head and shouted towards the tree, “Hey, little fatty! Hang in there! We’re here to save you!”

The fatso, who was wiping his tears on the tree, suddenly heard the voice of his own kind. He immediately looked around and quickly spotted Adams, who looked extremely brave whilst wielding a longsword with frost surging around it.

“Big Brother! Quickly come and save me! As long as you can chase these scorpions away, I’ll treat you like my real big brother from now on!” the fatso shouted agitatedly as he threw more fruit down from the tree.

A fruit hit the scorpion beside Adams and instantly shattered into pieces, landing right at Adams’ feet.

“Hint! Twenty meters ahead, an S-rank Evoroot Spiritual Locust Tree has been discovered. Its fruit, the Spiritual Locust Fruit, is an S-rank equipment material that can be used to forge S-rank equipment!”

After hearing the system hint, Adams could not help but shout angrily, “F*ck! You damned system, why didn’t you say so earlier! Fatty on the tree, stop throwing the fruits down. Leave a few for me!”

At this moment, the fatty on the tree could no longer hear anything and continuously threw the Spiritual Locust Fruit under the tree.

Seeing how wasteful the fatso was, Adams couldn’t wait any longer. He hurriedly took two steps back, whipped out a lightning spell scroll, crushed it, and threw it under the Spiritual Locust Tree.

Buzz!

After a flash of lightning, there was nothing underneath the Spiritual Locust Tree. Other than the ground that kept emitting black smoke, there was not a single trace left!

When Vivian saw this from afar, she involuntarily sank to the ground in shock. She exclaimed, “H-he actually used another scroll! Such a powerful spell is enough to destroy half a city. He’s too wasteful, too wasteful!”

Right now, Adams’ heart was aching, but it was not the scroll that made his heart ache, but the spiritual locust fruits that had been smashed all over the ground!

“Damn fatty! Stop it! If you dare to touch a fruit on the tree again, I’ll make sure you suffer the same fate as the scorpions!” Adams shouted hysterically while pointing at the tree.

“I-I won’t touch it! Big Brother, don’t be rash. I’ll come down now!” The fatty on the tree finally calmed down. He begged for mercy as he slowly slid down.

“Wait a minute!” Adams suddenly shouted.

The fatso who was sliding down immediately grabbed onto the tree trunk and asked in a panic, “Big… Big Brother, what’s wrong now?”

“How many fruits are there left on the tree?” Adams asked.

“Around seven or eight more!” Fatty replied to him.

Adams heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Please climb up again and help me gather all the fruits!”
