Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

Kirito sheathed the Explainer back into its back and put the Biscuit Sword back into his backpack.

After all, it's a greatsword; you can't just carry it by hand all the time.

After doing all that, he began to comment: "Although it's not great in actual combat, it can be used as reserve food and can be infinitely restored, so this biscuit sword is worth the price."

Just as he was about to leave, three crisp sounds suddenly came from afar: "bang, bang, bang."

"Gunshot?" Kirito paused, his brows furrowing instantly.

Previously, at other levels, there were special channels to provide players with military equipment.

However, with no further ammunition supply, the guns in the player's hands should be practically just for decoration.

Even if someone treasures their last bullets like precious gems, they would never waste them on ordinary things.

Unless... you encounter a rare elite monster and have no other choice but to use your trump card?

Tongren felt a sense of doubt and involuntarily turned his gaze toward the direction from which the gunshot came.

Since we've run into this by chance, there's no reason not to join in the fun.

Thinking of this, Kirito smiled and suddenly pushed off with his feet, moving quickly toward the source of the sound like an arrow.

At the source of the sound.

On the open ground, three grotesque mechanical monsters formed a triangular encirclement, attacking a man and a woman.

The monster was covered in dark green iron armor, with thick and powerful limbs, exposed gears on its abdomen that kept turning, and a pair of sharp metal fangs on its lower jaw, making it look even more ferocious.

Ancient mechanical hunting dogs

The girl, facing these monsters, looked grim: "What kind of monsters are these?"

She gripped a pistol tightly, warily scanning the movements of the three monsters.

Just then, a mechanical hound on the left suddenly pushed off the ground with its hind legs, opened its mouth full of fangs, and pounced on the girl!

The girl raised her gun and fired three shots at the charging mechanical hound.

"Bang bang bang!"

Three bullets hit their mark precisely; the hound paused in mid-air for a moment before crashing heavily to the ground.

The moment the health bar reached zero, the monster's body turned into white fragments, bloomed in the air, and disappeared.

"Disappeared?" The girl stared at the empty ground, her eyes filled with confusion.

This was the first time she had ever seen someone turn into fragments after death.

But in the instant the girl was stunned...

The remaining two mechanical hounds seized the opportunity and charged at the two of them from the left and right, even faster than before, clearly intending to launch a surprise attack while she was distracted!

The girl quickly raised her hand and raised her gun, but the two hunting dogs were spread out, and she didn't have time to aim at them simultaneously.

Moreover, the pistol has a limited rate of fire, so even if one is hit, another can pounce on her while she is re-aiming!

"It's too late!" The girl's heart tightened.

Instead of running away alone, she suddenly grabbed the man behind her and protected him tightly.

She closed her eyes, bracing herself for an attack.

At the very least, you must protect the people behind you.

The man being protected was clearly terrified. He turned his back immediately, covered his head with his hands, and crouched on the ground, screaming in panic, "Ahhh—!"

At this critical moment, a dark figure suddenly flashed out from behind the ruins, moving so fast that it left only a blur.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of light appeared, and the blade landed precisely on the waist of the two mechanical hounds, slicing them in half at the waist!

The upper and lower body separated, and after falling to the ground, it quickly turned into fragments and disappeared.

Kirito put away the Explainer, looked at the empty ground, and a hint of disappointment appeared on his face: "I thought I would encounter some powerful elite monsters, but this is all I got?"

He thought the other side had encountered an elite monster, but it turned out to be just two ordinary monsters. He should have known better than to run so fast.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the threat disappear.

She quickly turned around and gently hugged the still trembling man, stroking his back as she softly comforted him, "It's alright, it's alright now."

It was only then that Kirito truly noticed the two people behind him.

The young girl gently and patiently comforted her companion;

The man she was holding in her arms still had lingering fear on his face, and his body was still trembling slightly.

It's unbelievable that someone could be so terrified by a regular elite monster.

Kirito silently complained to himself.

With the girl's comfort, the man gradually calmed down and stopped screaming. He just clung tightly to the girl's clothes and dared not look up at her.

The girl stood up, turned around and looked at Kirito with a grateful gaze, bowing slightly and saying, "Thank you for your help. If it weren't for you, we would probably be in danger today."

"It's nothing, just a small favor." Kirito waved his hand, about to say something more.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on the girl's long green hair, and he froze on the spot.

That hair color... it looks so much like someone he knows.

"You are... Enkidu?!" Kirito blurted out instinctively, his voice full of surprise.

Upon hearing this, the girl tilted her head in confusion: "Enkidu? Who's that?"

She couldn't understand what Kirito was saying at all.

"No, no, it shouldn't be her." Kirito quickly shook his head and began to carefully examine the girl in front of him.

The other person was dressed as a traveler, complete with boots, trousers, and a shawl, which was fundamentally different from Enkidu in his memory, who only wore a white robe.

Furthermore, Enkidu is skilled with chains and doesn't use guns at all, so he's clearly mistaken him for someone else.

At that moment, the man, who had just quieted down, quietly tugged at the girl's sleeve.

The girl immediately turned around and gently reassured her, "Don't worry, it's alright. We'll leave here soon."

But when Kirito saw the man's face clearly, his pupils suddenly contracted and his body instantly froze.

He would never mistake that face!

It looked exactly like someone he remembered!

Although Kirito didn't recognize the girl immediately, his DNA kicked in the moment the man's face came into view.

Almost instinctively, Kirito suddenly raised his hand, pointed at the man, and looked at him with an incredulous expression.

The girl naturally noticed the other person's exaggerated expression, and frowned. Had she given herself away...?

She shielded the man behind her again, gripping her pistol in her other hand.

But the other party simply uttered a nonsensical name: "It's you! Lu P!"
