Earth-Horse lay on the ground in heart-rending pain, her expression twisted into a ball, but because her right ankle was nailed to the ground, she didn’t dare move at all.
This scream was obviously quite loud. Several people in the room looked over, while Decadent Dog and Corporate Slave Mouse kept their eyes fixed on the door.
Now that they were making such a big commotion, could this matter still be concealed?
Black Sheep coldly reached out to unfasten the buttons of his shirt, trying to relax his neck a bit, then spat another mouthful of bloody saliva on the ground. “Earth-Horse, your little schemes should end here…”
Earth-Horse simply couldn’t answer. She just lay on the ground screaming on her own.
Earth-Pig, who was entangled in combat with Pei Qianhu, also temporarily stopped upon seeing this scene. He turned back to look at Black Sheep, and after a few seconds, frowned and asked, “Are you fucking crazy…? You severed an ‘Earth-level’s’ Achilles tendon?”
“Oh…? Really? The ‘Achilles tendon’ or whatever…” Earth-Sheep showed a carelessly apologetic expression. “How would I know that place was the Achilles tendon? It was just an accidental slip. If necessary, I can apologize right now.”
Seeing the other party being so ruthless, Earth-Pig couldn’t help but feel uneasy. One Pei Qianhu was already so troublesome—if there was a Black Sheep watching from behind like a tiger eyeing its prey, could he escape this fight unscathed?
Earth-Tiger wiped the blood from his face, walked forward a few steps, and said, “You short pig, fighting with fingernails—what’s the fucking difference between you and a child?”
Hearing these words, everyone in the room looked down at Earth-Pig’s fingers. He seemed to have deliberately grown his nails long to use as weapons. Now his fingernails were full of white fur and reddish blood and flesh.
“Earth-Pig, I have a few words I want to say.” Black Sheep said. “Are you going to give me time to explain the situation, or are you planning for the two of us to fight another round?”
Although Earth-Sheep was speaking, he still picked up another table leg from the ground, then tore it open with his hands, revealing a sharp point.
Although Earth-Pig wasn’t afraid of the two men’s threats, the situation was indeed somewhat tricky now. There were two Earth-levels to deal with in front of him, and three more Earth-levels standing to the side watching the excitement. When Earth-Horse came to find him, she had never mentioned there were so many opponents here.
“Short pig, I’m fucking talking to you!” Earth-Tiger walked forward a few steps in a bad mood, seemingly not planning to give up just like that.
“I won’t fight anymore.”
As soon as these words came out, some people breathed a sigh of relief, while others began to feel confused.
This matter had already gotten somewhat out of control. Earth-Pig had come so confidently to “capture the rebels,” but now he was saying he wouldn’t fight? How should this matter be resolved then?
“You brought this horse and swaggered over here to attack me, and now you’re saying you won’t fight?” Earth-Tiger asked with a frown, the confusion on his face impossible to suppress.
“Yes… I…” Earth-Pig murmured, then while Earth-Tiger wasn’t paying attention, kicked viciously toward his knee.
*Crack!*
A crisp sound suddenly rang out. Fortunately, Earth-Tiger’s lower limbs were very thick. This strike didn’t directly break his knee, but it still caused him immense pain. He let out a muffled groan and dropped to one knee.
And Earth-Pig didn’t hesitate at all. He directly flipped behind Earth-Tiger, one hand pinching Earth-Tiger’s chin, the other extending three fingers and using his nails to grip his Adam’s apple.
The atmosphere suddenly became incredibly silent. Earth-Sheep, Earth-Dog, Earth-Mouse, and Earth-Rabbit in the room all stared blankly at this scene, not knowing what he intended to do.
“Don’t get too cocky.” Earth-Pig said coldly. “If you dare act recklessly, I’ll crush his throat right now.”
He had originally thought Earth-Tiger would be the “instigator” of this rebellion. As long as he could capture him, he could control the lifeline of the entire team. But strangely, the crowd before him had no reaction at all.
Earth-Sheep blinked and asked, “I… let me confirm—are you threatening me with Pei Qianhu’s life right now?”
Hearing this question, Earth-Pig was also somewhat speechless. “What…?”
“Kill him.” Earth-Sheep raised his face and gestured to Earth-Pig. “Don’t say anything else first. Hurry up and do it—kill him first.”
“What the fuck kind of fearlessness are you pretending to show me…” Earth-Pig asked with a frown. “Aren’t you two both Baiyang’s students?!”
“So what?” Black Sheep shrugged indifferently. “Over all these years, the two of us have always wanted to kill each other. It was just awkward to do it due to propriety. You can help me out. Stop wasting words—kill him first.”
Earth-Pig suddenly felt somewhat isolated and helpless. He then turned to look at the three onlookers beside him. “Don’t you care either?! If I kill him, you’ll be ‘a dragon without a head’!”
The three people looked at each other, truly unable to empathize.
Two of them were interacting with Earth-Tiger for the first time. The only one who knew Earth-Tiger before—Decadent Dog—had an even more unconcerned expression.
To him, Earth-Tiger was just “a Zodiac he’d met a few times.” The two weren’t mortal enemies, but could barely be considered “friends.”
“You… you all…” Earth-Pig looked around at everyone in confusion. “What kind of team is this? Are you ‘rebelling’ with so many obvious flaws?”
He really couldn’t understand. Everyone said that for a team to concentrate its strength, it should minimize weak points, but what was this team directly composed of weak points?
Others talk about the “barrel effect,” but these weak links had directly formed a “plate.”
No leader, hidden agendas, refusing to save each other, internal conflicts… what kind of bizarre team was this?
“Leader Pig, don’t talk nonsense!” Earth-Mouse, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up. “What ‘rebellion’ or ‘not rebellion’? If you want to rebel, don’t harm Earth-Tiger! You can rebel on your own!”
“You… what the fuck are you shouting about?” Earth-Pig was stunned.
Earth-Mouse gave a cold laugh and pulled the metal table leg from Earth-Horse’s ankle, triggering another scream. Then he slowly pressed the table leg against Earth-Horse’s neck.
“Leader Pig, we have five people. You only have one person.” Earth-Mouse smiled. “If this iron pipe goes down, you’ll not only solidify the crime of ‘rebellion,’ but also bear the sin of ‘Zodiac slaughter.’ After all, the ‘Train’ doesn’t have ‘ears,’ and the testimony of us five people is the truth.”
“You…” Earth-Pig narrowed his eyes, his gaze constantly wandering over the several people, as if looking for a suitable way out for himself. He thought for a while, saw Earth-Horse lying on the ground with a pained expression, then said, “Then I can’t just leave it at this. You crippled the person I brought here. There has to be some explanation, right? Otherwise, I’ll definitely bring my many students to demand an explanation from you all.”
