Chapter 81 Nine Infants in Helan Mountain
Chapter 81 Nine Infants in Helan Mountain
Su Ming was still at the very back. Their group had already split into two parts, with the hunters who had been hired surrounding Mu Bai, except for the leader.
After walking for a while, Wu Ku spoke up: "You can take off your drug masks now, these are no longer poisonous."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged captain, who was leading the group, said with admiration, "As expected of a master, you are truly amazing; you even know this."
He was the first to take off his mask. There was still some poison in there, but it didn't matter; this little bit of poison wouldn't have any effect.
"Let's take a break for now, the journey ahead is a bit long," the middle-aged captain suggested to Su Ming.
"Okay." Su Ming nodded. Anyway, it wouldn't make a difference if it took a little more time. Mu Qianjin wasn't feeling well, so it would be good for her to rest.
During the break, Su Ming wandered around. Mu Bai originally intended to come and chat with him, but the hunter team members were all surrounding Mu Bai, which prevented him from coming over.
Wu Ku leaned against a tree and closed his eyes to rest. There were still many trees here, unlike when he and the mage had gone there before. Back then, there were not many trees left when they reached a place without poison, but there were still trees here, but they were no longer poisonous.
The location they were heading to was different, and Su Ming could sense something in Helan Mountain that was staring at him.
Is it Bifang?
Su Ming murmured, unable to be sure. If it was Bifang, that would be fine, but if it was some other powerful demon, it would be very troublesome.
"Hey, do you have Mu Bai's contact information? Give me one." Su Mingzhen was thinking about something when a voice interrupted him.
Looking back, he saw a small girl standing behind him. She was from the hunter team and seemed to be the daughter of the middle-aged captain.
It's quite rare for parents to be on the same team.
"Your tone is rude. Speak properly, and I can give it to you," Su Ming said.
This person is too young. Although he is young himself, he clearly looks down on himself and speaks in a condescending manner. He seems a bit slow to think.
"What do you mean by rude tone? I just asked you to give me Mu Bai's contact information, not for you. Why are you in such a hurry?" Chen Li frowned, somewhat displeased.
"You're not taking your unpopularity out on me, are you? Well, sorry, I only want Mu Bai's contact information. Even if you wanted to give me yours, I wouldn't take it."
……
Speechless, Su Ming rubbed his temples, feeling that he didn't need to give him face, and said coldly, "You've got one thing wrong. Why should I listen to you? If you were as smart as your father, you wouldn't be talking to me like this."
The middle-aged captain treated him with great courtesy, and Su Ming respected him as well. The middle-aged captain knew Su Ming's abilities; how could he be an ordinary mage to become the leader of this team?
Unfortunately, some people didn't know that they arrived late and didn't realize that Su Ming was the leader, and that there had never been any superior-subordinate relationship between them.
Coupled with Mu Bai's display of great strength, they all believed that Mu Bai was the captain and their leader.
"Getting angry out of embarrassment?" Chen Li was a little annoyed. She had been spoiled since childhood, always getting whatever she wanted. Moreover, she was the boss in her father's hunter team, and no one ever disagreed with her. Su Ming's refusal infuriated her, and she threatened, "You really won't give it to me?"
"No way," Su Ming laughed, clearly annoyed. Anyway, it wasn't really his problem; he just enjoyed seeing people like this get their comeuppance.
"You wait," Chen Li could only threaten before leaving.
She's a water-based mage, but some people aren't. Just find someone else to teach Su Ming a lesson.
At that time, Mu Bai's contact information will still not be his.
Su Ming didn't care about Chen Li. In this place, even if their hunter team were tied together, they wouldn't be a match for Su Ming, so there was no need to pay attention to them.
Su Ming circled around the center of their squad, seemingly spotting something in the distance, but upon closer inspection, he found nothing. With a change of heart, he turned to find Wu Ku.
When he walked up to Wu Ku, Wu Ku had already opened his eyes and was waiting.
Su Ming said to himself, "Wu Ku, go over there and check the situation."
Su Ming pointed to the distance, where there was nothing, but it gave off a very eerie feeling, not a good place.
Wu Ku glanced at it and asked, "You really want me to go?"
"Yes, go and take a look." Su Ming nodded, indicating that he hadn't misheard.
"Alright." Wu Ku reluctantly got up and walked over. There was nothing there, really nothing... nothing at all.
Wu Ku glanced around and indeed there were things there, including Black Beast Demons and Cursed Beast Demons. They were hiding in the forest and their numbers were quite large, enough to destroy their current forces.
Wu Ku ignored the black beast demons and cursed beast demons and walked inside, where he saw a person dressed in red.
"Lord Jiuying, what do you mean by this?" Wu Ku asked, puzzled.
Why would Jiuying create such a beastly demon and come to Helan Mountain?
Jiuying didn't answer, but instead asked, "Wu Ku, do you think your team can withstand these beastly demons right now?"
Wu Ku glanced at them briefly and saw that there were eight cursed beast demons and even more black beast demons.
These numbers would be fatal to a few mid-level mages and a group of junior mages; they would be utterly unable to withstand them.
Wu Ku honestly replied, "We can't stop them. They'll all die, unless..."
"Unless you make a move, is that it?" Jiuying sneered.
"You can make a move if you want, but you'd better imagine what I'll do next before you decide whether to intervene," Jiuying threatened.
This left Wu Ku even more confused. He thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out what Jiu Ying was trying to do.
Is there something in this team that makes him strong enough, or is there some enemy he has?
There wasn't a single one, but Jiuying happened to bring a group of beast demons with him.
He was probably the most idle cardinal.
While the adults are busy with chores every day, he has time to lead a group of beastly demons in doing things that have no meaning.
"Alright, you can leave now. It's not my turn to make a move yet. You can decide whether to intervene later." Jiuying waved his hand, dismissing him.
"Okay." Wu Ku nodded and went back.
He didn't know what Jiuying was going to do, nor did he want to know. In any case, those beastly demons couldn't threaten him; at most, they were just disgusting.
"Did you find anything?" Su Ming asked as he approached Wu Ku upon his return.
Their actions also attracted the attention of others. Mu Bai had noticed Wu Ku walking in that direction before, and he came over after Wu Ku returned.
"There's nothing there," Wu Ku said. He wasn't telling the truth. Although he didn't know what Jiu Ying was up to, as long as it didn't interfere, it was fine. After all, he was a cardinal, and there was no benefit in going against Jiu Ying.
