The sun was high in the sky.
At the edge of the jungle, a man and a woman sat opposite each other, with a pool of blood between them.
Zhao Yu felt a bit awkward, wanting to say something to change the atmosphere.
Ji Wu Shuang, on the other hand, stood up and said coldly, “What happened today, no one is allowed to speak of it, or I’ll kill you! YOU UNDERSTAND!?”
She took the map and quickly left.
Zhao Yu touched his nose and lifted a handful of soil to cover the bloodstains on the ground.
Ji Wu Shuang did not return for the whole night and many were worried that something had happened to her. Seeing her return, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked her what had happened.
“I encountered a big black dog on the way, it was very troublesome. I fought with it all night before I could get away…”
“So that’s what happened…”
Everyone suddenly understood.
Ji Wu Shuang then pa.s.sed the daily task of to Sun Yi Fan, stating that his Lightfoot skill was the best and that he could escape any danger.
“No problem, leave it to me…”
Sun Yi Fan readily agreed, then asked before he took his leave, “Where is that big black dog? If I encounter it, I can take revenge for you?!”
“No need, it’s already dead…” Ji Wu Shuang said indifferently.
“Oh, that’s good then…”
After this incident, Zhao Yu found that Sun Yi Fan had become the nightly contact person, while Ji Wu Shuang had not been seen for a long time, as if she was unwilling to meet him.
Zhao Yu had wanted to wait for Ji Wu Shuang to clarify a few words, but he temporarily forgot about the matter.
He was essentially taking the two-headed ox snake monster to various commander territories to acc.u.mulate some technology points, occasionally visiting the territories of the other five overlords.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had pa.s.sed.
w.a.n.g Feng Valley.
After this period of twists and turns, there were only about twenty ultimate fighters left in the w.a.n.g Feng Valley.
Apart from that, changes had occurred here as well. The once bustling scenes no longer existed; the ground was covered with scorched earth and ruins, with few human traces to be found.
In the council hall, He Yun and several his team leaders gathered together to discuss matters.
“Boss, we’ve investigated clearly. That fake Xiao Long has indeed collaborated with someone else. Every time they pa.s.s through the territory of a commander-level monster, the local boss is destined to die, and it’s evident that someone was waiting there in advance…”
“There really is a problem!”
“I knew that kid couldn’t be trusted!”
Ever since they found out Zhao Yu was not the real Xiao Xiao Long, they referred to him as the fake Xiao Long.
As for the real Xiao Xiao Long, he had disappeared a few days ago, likely having escaped alone.
“Hmph, using king-level beasts to attack commander-level monsters, severely injuring them, and then having their people pick up the leftovers. This method is indeed much easier than our normal hunting method…”
“Does that mean the fake Xiao Long and his group have secretly nurtured quite a number of ultimate fighters?!”
“It’s very likely!”
“What should we do?!”
As everyone was anxious, Xie Zheng came out with a smile on his face.
“Don’t panic, everyone…”
“I’ve received intelligence that the other four forces have also noticed this situation and have sent ultimate fighters back to the newbie area, planning to replicate the fake Xiao Long’s method…”
“Right, we can also send people back to the newbie area!”
Someone was overjoyed, as if a new idea had dawned on them.
However, He Yun waved his hand and said, “No need. It’s not that easy to lure king-level monsters. That fake Xiao Long has some extraordinary skill…”
He hadn’t forgotten that when he tracked Zhao Yu into the protective film, he was attacked by terrifying first-tier creatures. Zhao Yu withdrew quickly, otherwise, he would have died.
In He Yun view, Zhao Yu has the “Insight” to notice any incoming attack and an outstanding descendant of ancient martial arts, which allowed him to be chased by a king-level beast for nearly twenty days without dying.
Others couldn’t achieve this feat!
“Boss, if they succeed, then we’ll be left behind!”
“If you don’t know who to send, I’m willing to go back to the newbie area…” Someone stated anxiously.
“No need!”
“I’ve already received a message from the camp. That person is about to leave, sooner than expected…” He Yun announced.
“Really?!”
Everyone was surprised, then overjoyed.
In the end, it’s not as satisfying as entering the camp.
“Yes!”
“I’ve sent people to guard outside the camp and during a shift change, they communicated with someone inside…”
“According to the Messager, they will leave in a day or two, or at most in three to five days…”
“That’s great, what are we competing for…”
“Boss, what do we do now?!”
Everyone was overjoyed.
He Yun stroked his chin and revealed his plan, “Move all our undercover agents to the vicinity of the camp. During this time, we’ll also quietly approach them. We can give up on this Valley for now…”
“That’s too good…”
Beside the boundary road, dozens of people gathered together, led by none other than the leader of the Tiger Howl Gang, Li Hu.
At this moment, everyone was waiting here, eagerly looking towards at the south of the boundary road.
“Has it come?!”
“It should be soon…”
From their reactions, it seemed they were waiting for something.
“Roar—!”
Moments later, a thunderous roar came from the south of the boundary road.
“It’s here, definitely a king-level!”
Everyone was thrilled.
Li Hu even walked up to a slender man, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed, “Old Five, it’s all on you this time!”
“Don’t worry, there’s no one born yet who can catch up with me, not even a king-level beast!” Old Five laughed heartily..
