Chapter 503: Female… Warriors

Chapter 503: Female… Warriors

With many conditions to prevent future troubles, even though the situation inside the containment zone was not very comfortable, looking at the ample preparations of the Church and the special living conditions brought by the Magic Weapon Summoning Book, no chaos would occur here in the short term.

The reputation of the Church was also a great guarantee; at least now that the Church had intervened in this matter, they would not give up halfway. The Church had never done such things before, so overall, with the Church as a gold-standard presence, the situation here remained very stable…

As for the situation here, what Zheng Yichen wanted to say was that he had also contributed greatly. After all, ensuring no shortage of supplies, the weight carried by the Magic Weapon Summoning Book was too heavy. Otherwise, the Church would have had to frequently organize large groups of people to charge into areas where human forms were active, then retrieve supplies at the edge of the containment zone and return.

Each temporary camp was scattered, and considering the subsequent transportation process, one could imagine how many sacrifices would have been made during this period. But now? If you needed something, you just had to buy, buy, buy.

“You all go on the adventure, be careful. I have some things to do,” Zheng Yichen said to Oss and the others, who had finished packing their things. Although Green was very curious, seeing that Zheng Yichen did not explain clearly, he suppressed his urge to ask. Being curious was one thing, but being able to restrain it was even more important.

Curiosity was something that could never be lacking in adventures, yet it was also the thing that most needed to be restrained. Curiosity could provide enough motivation for adventures, but if you could not stably control it, it could get you killed… So at times like this, it was better not to ask too much.

“Uh, I understand,” Oss nodded. Seeing Zheng Yichen return to his single room, he put down the things in his hands and started re-planning today’s schedule. Without Zheng Yichen, many of their combat plans had to be redone. After all, with Zheng Yichen along, they never had to worry about the human forms they encountered on the way. He would just swing his sword, and the weaker human forms would vanish into thin dust or something.

Without Zheng Yichen, along the way they would have to consider whether to fight their way through or take a detour. After all, the commotion in the morning had dealt a significant blow to the morale of some people in the quarantine camp. Getting injured here could lead to infection by the flesh seed…

Adventurers and mercenaries who previously had no intention of buying the special combat suit now changed their minds. Not only did they need to buy it, but they needed to buy more. At the very least, the design of the special combat suit could greatly reduce the likelihood of injury in vulnerable areas. Moreover, if injured, the wound would quickly be sealed by the medicinal powder inside the suit, preventing foreign objects from entering. No matter how hard to defend against the flesh seed was, it could not penetrate a completely sealed place.

After finalizing the new combat plan, they left the camp as a team. This time, Dan Marina stayed behind. Last time, with Zheng Yichen present, bringing Dan Marina was fine; with him around, the only woman in the team would not get hurt. But now it was just them, and they were about to enter the stone forest. There would inevitably be places they could not fully cover. The appearance of soul spirits in the stone forest heavily tested one’s luck. If luck was good, many would be weakened. If not… it would be like yesterday when Green’s one slap summoned several mini-bosses.

He almost got himself killed.

Dan Marina, who stayed behind, sat outside the single room. She removed her mask, revealing her appearance, which attracted quite a few people in the quarantine camp. It was not that there were no women in the containment zone, but the proportion of women was not high. Among adventurers or mercenaries… those kind of adventurer girls dressed in revealing outfits… Zheng Yichen felt like spitting at the thought. None! What existed were female warriors!

As for equipment where the less you wore, the higher the defense, Zheng Yichen had the intention to research and develop such things. But for now, his main focus was on developing and researching transformation magic. He had a draft for that kind of equipment. A simple estimate showed that the cost was slightly high… and the cost-effectiveness was a bit low…

In the future, if spellcasters also actively participated in adventurer teams, the proportion of cute girls would probably increase. Unfortunately, the world’s situation was just like this. The vast majority of adventurers and mercenaries were warriors.

Therefore, when Dan Marina revealed her appearance, she became very attractive, especially after some noticed that her adventure companions had already left. Even if they had ideas, they could not cause trouble here, but coming over to chat and tell some dirty jokes to pass the time was still possible. Telling dirty jokes with men was not as exciting as telling them with a woman.

However, what was not lacking here were men.

But their ideas were destined to fail. A patrolling female knight of the Church noticed the situation here. Looking at Dan Marina, who was reading a book, she slightly frowned. After whispering something to her squad leader and receiving a signal, she left the team and came over.

Seeing this, some eager men could not help but curl their lips in disdain. Ugh, beautiful women really received preferential treatment everywhere—now someone was specially sent to protect her!?

This female knight had strong insight. She naturally noticed those people’s reactions and lightly snorted in her heart. Superficial! Could mere appearance attract her!? The reason she came over was that she recognized Dan Marina’s avatar’s identity.

Although during the battle against the Undying Witch, her avatar did not play much of a role (…), she was at least a member of Oss’s team, so she was remembered. Now, seeing her alone, the female knight felt it necessary to come over. Otherwise, being stared at by a bunch of men… well… beauty sometimes really had its uses.

“Hey, woman, since your companions have left, wouldn’t it be better to stay alone in the room?” the female knight walked over to Dan Marina and looked down at her, speaking. The portable house beside her was also a high-end product. Once inside, it generally would not affect Dan Marina, but she had come out anyway. Intuition told her this woman might be doing it on purpose.

“But the air outside is nice,” Lena looked up at the female knight in front of her. Behind her calm expression, she was hiding a light, rarely used by Zheng Yichen but frequently exploding when he encountered obstacles in research—’Damn it!’

She weighed at least two hundred pounds, with muscles so robust they put men to shame, and facial lines… ah, it was rare to see a woman who could train muscles to some extent on her face. Moreover, her body exuded an extremely vigorous battle qi aura. So, could it be that this girl was born in the wrong body!?

Hmm, in front of Dan Marina, calling her a ‘girl’ was not an exaggeration at all. Even if this female knight grew one or two hundred years older, she would still be a ‘girl.’

“What’s your reason? You wouldn’t… be keeping an eye on that dragon, would you?” the female knight glanced at Zheng Yichen’s single room. The glass of this guy’s portable house was one-way, only allowing visibility from the inside out. And since he was the creator, he naturally used the highest quality.

“Who doesn’t have such thoughts?”

“Huh? That straightforward?” the female knight was slightly surprised for a moment, then waved her hand. “Even so, you should pay attention to your surroundings. Never mind, I’ll stay here until your companions return.”

On one hand, she could slack off a bit; on the other hand, she could see if anyone would cause trouble. Her hands were itching!
