Chapter 595: Useless Bad Guys
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The scar-faced man was poisoned by a snake, unable to use arcane power, gripping his knife nervously as he scanned his surroundings.
As a snake approached, he immediately swung his blade.
Before being poisoned, he struggled with such situations, and now, in his weakened state, it became even more challenging. In no time, a bunch of snakes had wrapped themselves around his body.
The tall and thin man was in a slightly better situation; he had yet to be entangled by the snakes.
Compared to the two men’s predicament, Gu Xiaonan, who stood in the middle, was simply too conspicuous.
Not a single snake crawled onto him!
This further confirmed the tall and thin man’s earlier speculation.
He quickly said, “Alright, we agree!”
The scar-faced man didn’t resist either.
Seriously, if he didn’t agree soon, he’d be swallowed by these snakes, wouldn’t he?
However, Gu Xiaonan didn’t move.
The scar-faced man was getting desperate. “Get them away quickly!”
“I’m trapped and can’t move,” Gu Xiaonan said innocently.
The tall and thin man silently recited an incantation, and the binding divine net on Gu Xiaonan’s body turned into a streak of silver light and landed in his hands.
Fine as a silver thread.
Gu Xiaonan asked curiously, “Is this net yours? Is it a spiritual artifact?”
“Don’t ask for now, just drive these snakes away!” The scar-faced man couldn’t take it anymore. If he kept irritating these snakes, who knew what would happen?
Gu Xiaonan glanced around.
The restless poisonous snakes instantly calmed down and stayed in place, not moving anymore.
Of course, this included the ones that had crawled onto the scar-faced man, all of them attached to him without any movement.
The scar-faced man didn’t dare to move at all, fearing he might provoke these snakes. He could only blurt out, “Make them leave, get them off me!”
“Uncle, you’re too noisy!” Gu Xiaonan covered his ears and wrinkled his small nose in disgust.
The scar-faced man choked, wanting to get angry, but at this moment, he was asking for help. He could only suppress his anger and force a smile on his face, which looked even more ugly than crying. “Little boy, can you please ask them to let go and get off me?”
“No.”
The scar-faced man’s breath caught.
This kid, why is he so infuriating?
Gu Xiaonan patted the still unconscious Xiao Bai on the back and said in a childish voice, “First, tell me who your employer is.”
The scar-faced man and the tall and thin man exchanged a glance.
They didn’t know the ident.i.ty of their employer.
The mission was taken in the black market.
This was the usual practice in their line of work. The employer could conceal their ident.i.ty when a.s.signing a task, and once they accepted it, they had to complete it according to the employer’s requirements to receive their commission.
But if they said it like this, this kid probably wouldn’t let them off.
The tall and thin man spoke, “If our speculation is correct, they should arrive here soon.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaonan’s eyes immediately lit up. “Oh right, you’ve been tricked. They’ll show up once you’re dead. So why don’t you two hurry up and die?”
The scar-faced man and the tall and thin man were shocked by his shamelessness.
Was this really not an old monster in disguise as a child? How could he calmly suggest that they should die?
“Do you need me to lend a hand?” Gu Xiaonan tilted his head, looking innocent and harmless, as if he hadn’t heard what they were asking.
What kind of trouble had they gotten themselves into?
The scar-faced man’s expression turned fierce in an instant. “Kid…”
“Shh, someone’s coming!” Gu Xiaonan’s small face changed, and he raised a tiny finger to his lips.
The scar-faced man and the tall and thin man were taken aback, then immediately tensed up, vigilantly scanning their surroundings.
“They haven’t arrived yet, no need to be so nervous,” Gu Xiaonan said, observing their anxious behavior with amus.e.m.e.nt. “These bunch of bad guys are useless, their mental resilience is so poor.. How did they qualify to become bad guys?”
