The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

After the fire coverage ended, Li Xuan and Hawkeye were responsible for eliminating the remaining Zerg.

[Merit +1]

[Merit +1]

[Merit +1]

[......]

As each Zerg died, Li Xuan's merits continued to increase.

But the speed is somewhat unsatisfactory.

Li Xuan seized the opportunity and questioned the white light figure: "Why do these Zerg give so little merit?"

A white figure appeared and replied: "Host, you should know that the world of Demon Slayer is a welfare world dedicated to gaining merit. Even the rewards for the main quests are converted to merit. This is why the host did not receive any rewards after completing the quest to collect merit!"

"Are you sure you didn't pocket the reward?"

[The host's words are like the cold wind of winter, piercing my heart! ]

The little man in white light covered his chest, unable to speak in grief.

Just as Li Xuan was struggling frantically with the white light figure, he saw a moving green object in the sight.

Out of caution, Li Xuan still asked Hawkeye who was concentrating on reconnaissance.

"Senior Eagle Eye, I saw a group of moving green objects through the scope. They..."

Hawkeye didn't have time to explain and contacted the captain directly through the intercom: "Report! The Zerg nest has hatched insects that can turn invisible, and these insects seem to be approaching the stronghold!"

The captain listened to the intercom and immediately frowned, "What's going on? Hawkeye! You can't even guarantee the accuracy of the information? What did I teach you?!"

Hawkeye shuddered at the captain's words, then turned to look at Li Xuan: "Location?"

Li Xuan understood and used the assassin's marking function to mark the moving green object.

At the same time, the location marked by Li Xuan also appeared on the central control screen in the stronghold.

The other team members looked at the captain.

The captain didn't hesitate and gave the order directly: "Fire at the marked location!"

"Yes!"

The powerful firepower directly covered the position marked by Li Xuan, and at the same time, pieces of green liquid splashed out.

After the strafing ended, many insect remains appeared on the ground.

Although the sneak attacking bugs were successfully eliminated, the captain's face looked extremely ugly.

At the same time, the team members also looked troubled.

Hawkeye also saw the bug being beaten into shape. He sighed, "What a pity. Li Xuan, our bet may have to be temporarily terminated."

Li Xuan was very confused and didn't understand why Hawkeye said that.

It hasn't even been an hour yet, and it feels like we're about to retreat.

Hawkeye glanced at Li Xuan and began to explain, "You're still a student, so you might not be familiar with the exact process of the Zerg invasion. I can't explain it to you in detail right now. I can only say that in previous battles, the Zerg also hatched these invisible bugs, but that didn't happen until a week later."

Li Xuan touched his chin. "So, the Zerg that invaded our planet this time might be a queen with extraordinary talent?"

Hawkeye nodded in affirmation. "That's true, but that's not the most important thing. Once these invisible Zerg appear on the battlefield in large numbers, it will be very troublesome. You should have noticed that these invisible bugs can not only camouflage themselves to a similar color to the surrounding area, but also reduce their own heat, making them difficult to detect using traditional methods!"

Li Xuan: "But even so, many extraordinary people should be able to detect the existence of this kind of insect."

"That's right. Even a martial artist can clearly sense the aura of these insects. Even your assassin can observe the color of their blood."

"If that's the case, then there's nothing to be afraid of these bugs."

"Heh, you're still too young. Not to mention that there are even more formidable bugs than this one, there aren't enough transcendents in the army who can sense the presence of these bugs. Once the color-changing bugs find an opportunity, our defenses will be torn open!"

"In short, are we retreating?"

Hawkeye affirmed, "That's right. The color-changing bugs are just the vanguard. The bugs behind them are definitely more powerful. With only our current firepower, we can't stop them at all!"

Sure enough, Li Xuan saw through the sight that the captain and his team members had left the base, but before leaving, they also left a gift for Chongzi.

Hawkeye kindly reminded: "We should also prepare to leave. Once the captain and the others evacuate the forest, we will go and reunite with them!"

Li Xuan looked at the explosives stuck to the stronghold and asked, "Are we staying here to detonate the stronghold?"

Hawkeye replied helplessly: "Well! If it weren't for the lack of time this time, this forest would have to be burned to charcoal!"

"is it hard?"

"What do you mean by difficult? Do you know how big this forest is? It's summer now, when the humidity is at its highest. To set the entire forest on fire, you'd need either a large amount of ignition or extraordinary strength. But with so few people and not enough supplies, we simply can't accomplish this!"

"Really? In that case, the bet can actually continue."

After saying that, Li Xuan stood up, picked up the medicine box, and began to change the magazine for the assassin.

Hawkeye looked at Li Xuan, then saw the bullets in the new magazine, and his eyes widened in shock: "Your bullets!?"

Li Xuan nonchalantly loaded the magazine and lay down again. "It's just an ordinary incendiary bomb, but it's enough to set this forest on fire."

"You call this bullet that combines the power of a magician and a mechanic an ordinary bullet? Why don't you just give me a magazine and let me have some fun!"

Li Xuan threw three magazines over without saying a word.

"Take it, and ask me if it's not enough!"

This kind of magazine is not difficult to make. Li Xuan also exchanged a blueprint at the beginning, but after making a few incendiary bombs, he found that in the system mall, 10 merits can be exchanged for of these incendiary bombs, and a magazine is also given for free.

Afterwards, Li Xuan directly exchanged a lot of items and put them into the system space. After all, the things exchanged from the system would not occupy the grids of the storage space.

After Hawkeye received the magazine from Li Xuan, he immediately installed it on his sniper rifle.

At the same time, he also began to contact the captain, requesting a fire attack on the forest.

The captain, who was leading his team to retreat, looked confused and asked Hawkeye directly what was going on.

Hawkeye directly told the whole story about the incendiary bomb and also said a few good words about Li Xuan.

"Hmph! It seems Wang Yi still has some conscience. This way, we'll have time to set up a more complete defense. Everyone, build a firebreak. Hawkeye, if a large group of bugs approaches, attack! We can't let the fungal blanket spread any further at all costs!"

"understand!"
