Chapter 71: Encounter with Bandits

With a series of continuous cracking sounds, the gem barrier shattered into pieces on the ground.

Heber's eyes filled with disbelief. "How did this guy know the weak point of my gem barrier?"

There was no time to ponder. Frantically, Heber reached for something at his waist.

But Jeremy wasn't about to let Heber act freely.

In a flash, Jeremy's figure blurred, and in the next moment, he was standing right in front of Heber.

Heber wanted to say something, but Jeremy didn't give him the chance.

With one swift motion, Jeremy's hand clamped down firmly on Heber's thick neck.

Heber, built like a hippopotamus, naturally had a layer of thick, tough skin like natural armor.

The moment Jeremy's fingers tightened around Heber's neck, the sensation surprised him for a second.

However, as Jeremy instinctively applied more force, a grating sound, like "creak, creak," emanated from his grip, making one's teeth ache just hearing it.
