"I'm telling you, Xiao Li," Xing Hechou spoke in a pained whisper, "is this really necessary?"
At this moment, four players and an Auspicious Beast were staying in a man-made cave temporarily created by Li Ang using Swamp God Power. The cave was spacious and cool, with light filtering through the ceiling and ventilation holes on the walls, while stone tables and chairs were scattered on the floor. Xing Hechou sat behind a stone table, his muscular left arm, sleeve rolled up to his shoulder, resting on the cold tabletop. Sunlight shone through the gaps at the top of the cave, clearly highlighting the muscle contours of his arm, including the coconut-sized lump on the back of his hand.
"Of course it's necessary," Li Ang sat across the table, holding the surgical scalpel from his Ruitu Military Knife 300, repeatedly sterilizing it over the candle flame. "Doesn't Captain Xun Zian have your Life Paper? If you want to send a message without entering Chenzhou City, this is the best way."
