Whether in the past or present, Fu Jiu does not consider himself a hero or a good person, nor does he want to be a hero, because living like that is too tiring.

In contrast, he longs for a free and unrestrained life, and of course, it would be even better if he could find a girlfriend.

He saw everything Li Si did, but he did not stop him.

He also hoped to lend a hand, not out of pity, but because he felt it was a pity that these people died like this. Besides, he didn't intend to help for nothing; it might be good to take the opportunity to recruit a few underlings.

According to Li Si's investigation, although there are not many second-tier members in the entire Qingshui City who meet their requirements, they can find dozens if they look carefully. However, most of these people have their own forces, and only a small number can be won over.

That's why only a handful of new members were recruited; there's no point in hoping for the others—they have virtually no chance.

Fu Jiu originally planned to recruit some members with good talent or unique abilities, but after discovering the effects of the Talent Fruit, he gradually changed his mind.

So what if they don't have much talent? It doesn't matter. They can even improve by taking drugs. As long as these people are decent and suit their tastes, it's fine to recruit some ordinary cultivators.

In the arena, Monk Hua and Nangong Changwan joined forces to fight against Caesar the Giant Lizard. When the two of them worked together, Caesar the Giant Lizard really couldn't do anything to them for a while.

The Flower Monk possesses astonishing strength. At the peak of the second tier, he could hold his own against cultivators in the early stages of the third tier. Now that he has advanced to the early stages of the third tier, he is no less capable than demonic beasts in the middle stages of the third tier. Moreover, he has a body with a defense of copper skin and iron bones.

Nangong Changwan was even more remarkable. Although he was not as good as the Flower Monk in defense, he was far superior in strength, enough to rival a late-stage third-tier demon beast.

The Caesar lizard, who was fighting the two, was very frustrated. The two of them not only overwhelmed it in strength, but their agility and defense were also not much worse than its own. In addition, it was already exhausted and could not exert 50 or 60% of its strength. How could it fight against the two of them?

"Roar--"

The Caesar lizard let out a deafening roar, its bluish-gray scales standing on end, making it look like a hedgehog covered in sharp thorns.

At the same time, his eyes began to turn red, and his whole body emitted a burst of heat, forming wisps of white mist in the air.

"Is he going berserk?"

The well-informed Li Si immediately recognized this state.

Unleashing life potential is not a method unique to humans; most demonic beasts also have similar methods, although the effects are somewhat weaker, but the advantage is that it can ignore level.

Many monsters' symptoms of activating their life potential are also called madness. In this state, the monster's various stats will temporarily increase, its pain perception will decrease significantly, and it will be weak for a period of time afterward. It is a desperate state that is not used unless absolutely necessary.

"You beast, what are you yelling about? I'll teach you a lesson!"

The monk wrapped his arms around the head of the Caesar monitor lizard, pinning its jaws and preventing it from making a sound.

Two arms, as hard as granite, held the Caesar lizard tightly, and for a moment it was impossible to break free. The Flower Monk knew that this stalemate could not go on, so he shouted loudly.

"Nangong Chang, lift up its hind legs!"

The Caesar monitor lizard's two thick, powerful hind legs gripped the ground firmly. To attack the lizard's vulnerable belly, you would have to help it flip over.

"My name is Nangong Changwan, not Nangong Chang!"

Nangong Changwan was somewhat dissatisfied. They had known each other for so many days, could this monk have deliberately mispronounced his name?

If they weren't currently engaged in battle, Nangong Changwan would definitely have tried to have a "friendly" sparring session with this monk.

Lu Wende waited patiently on the side. His axe, which was more than a meter long, was now covered with a golden halo. What was originally an ordinary steel axe now gave people a sense of sharpness. Even if it was not as good as Wei Zheng's Dragon-Slaying Cleaver, it was still several times better than ordinary weapons.

It's obvious that this is another masterpiece by the River God.

River God Bai Luo may not be as advanced as Mr. Bo Wen in terms of cultivation level, but in terms of age, all of them combined cannot match him.

Living a long life also means having the opportunity to see more things and accumulate more knowledge.

Therefore, the power derived from the River God's rules is quite terrifying.

He can add special status effects to some weapons, commonly known as buffs. Weapons with these effects are almost indistinguishable from spirit weapons in terms of quality, and even if they are inferior, the difference is not significant. Moreover, they can be mass-produced, and each buff can last for more than half an hour.

If necessary, he could even split a weapon into three, creating two extra weapons, one gold and one silver, that were almost like spiritual weapons. That's how the River God gave the little mustache the two weapons at the Black Dragon Society's original base.

However, this effect is short-lived and can cause irreparable damage to weapons. Basically, after only one or two uses, even the original weapon will shatter.

Nangong Changwan twisted his neck, wrapped one arm around the giant lizard's belly, and clenched his other fist, pounding hard on the Caesar giant lizard's belly.

The monitor lizard was in pain, its stomach churning, and its hind legs gradually lost strength. Finally, Nangong Changwan seized the opportunity to lift it up, leaving half of its body off the ground.

"Haha, watch this!" The Flower Monk laughed as he picked up the Caesar Lizard and swung it around in the air a few times.

The monitor lizard was spinning around until it was dizzy, its steel-like tail lashing out at the monk, but it wasn't as effective as it had imagined.

The Iron Tail, which had just displayed its might and severely injured Captain Xiong Ming, couldn't cause the slightest ripple with Flower Monk. The sharp tail spikes hidden at the tip of the tail could at most pierce a layer of flesh, but couldn't damage the monk's internal organs at all.

When his first attack failed, Nangong Changwan seized the opportunity to grab the giant lizard by the tail.

Nangong Changwan did not have the same defensive power as the monk, and several bloody holes inevitably appeared on his palms.

However, he didn't care; this pain was nothing to him.

"Let go, let me have a turn!"

Nangong Changwan and the Flower Monk each grabbed one of the Caesar lizard's heads and the other its tail, neither willing to let go, like two children fighting over a toy.

The Caesar monitor lizard had flipped over, its grayish-white belly exposed to the air, its eyes filled with grief and indignation.

I, the great lizard king, originally intended to unify the world, but I never expected to encounter two freaks as soon as I set out. Is this fate that the heavens are destined to destroy my lizard race?

The ability to spray scales from its back had already been used up, and those scales wouldn't grow back for a day or two. Had it known this, it would never have wasted those scales so easily; otherwise, those scales alone would have been enough to give those two a run for their money.

In fact, the Caesar monitor lizard's strength is far greater than that. The main reason is that it has lost most of its power due to being constantly hunted down along the way. If it were in its prime, even the Flower Monk and Nangong Changwan combined wouldn't be enough to beat it.
