Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The car became more and more b.u.mpy as it drove. They even pa.s.sed by the Black Dome.
Yu Huang sat on the tail of the car and stared at the mountain that was cut into two by Sheng Xiao. She could not help but think about how she jumped into the Purgatory Sea alone last year.
Unknowingly, almost a year had pa.s.sed.
Back then, her relationship with Sheng Xiao was innocent. Now, they had already kissed.
Yu Huang touched the ring on her index finger. When she thought of the person who gave the ring to her, she felt happy.
When it was almost dark, they finally arrived at the abyss.
The Abyssal Origin Forest was about half the size of the Divine Moon Empire, and there were countless kinds of demon beasts living in it.
The Rakshasa Empire was at the southernmost end of the abyss. This group of mercenaries often came to the abyss to hunt demon beasts. They were very familiar with the outermost area of the abyss.
The car drove into the primitive forest for more than two hours before there was no road. The captain, Ge Meng, jumped down from the front of the car and shouted, “All of you, get off!” There was no road ahead, so they could only walk.
Yu Huang grabbed a gun and a backpack filled with weapons and jumped out of the car with the members.
Gulli walked at the front of the group, Ge Meng at the back, and Yu Huang at the center.
She was a newcomer and it was her first time entering the abyss. She was also the only girl in the team. Everyone took good care of her.
The sky was getting darker and darker, so it was not suitable for them to continue forward. Ge Meng suggested setting up camp and resting.
After starting the fire, everyone sat around the bonfire and chatted while eating their dry food.
Since she was a newcomer, everyone was most curious about Yu Huang.
Ge Meng asked her, “Wu Huang, where are you from?”
Yu Huang said, “The Divine Moon Empire.”
Ge Meng nodded and said, “I’ve been to the Divine Moon Empire before. It was a prosperous country.” His eyes were filled with yearning for the Divine Moon Empire. He continued, “The Divine Moon Empire is the first country on the Holy Spirit Continent to abolish slavery. It’s very impressive.”
Yu Huang only smiled and didn’t speak.
Ge Meng asked Yu Huang, “Why were you forced to come to the Rakshasa Empire? Did you commit a crime?”
There were only three types of people in Rakshasa Empire. One, criminals, two, mercenaries, three, itinerant cultivator beast tamers.
Yu Huang neither looked like a mercenary nor a Beast Tamer. Ge Meng thought that Yu Huang had wandered to Rakshasa Empire as a criminal.
Yu Huang knew that Ge Meng was suspecting her ident.i.ty. She pondered for a moment before saying, “I’m not a criminal.”
“Then why did you come to Rakshasa Empire?”
Gulli and the others also looked at Yu Huang curiously while feeling somewhat baffled. If she wasn’t a criminal and wasn’t trying to avoid capture, then why had she come to the Rakshasa Empire?
Yu Huang said, “My ex-fiancé was a Beast Tamer. He forcefully broke off the engagement with me because of my disfigurement. In a fit of anger, I made a bet with him, betting that I could defeat him after a year. I heard that the Rakshasa Empire is a place that can hone one’s abilities. The Sharks Mercenary Group is the most powerful mercenary group, so I wanted to come and give it a try.”
Hearing Yu Huang’s explanation, Ge Meng clearly did not believe her, but he did not pursue the matter.
Yu Huang knew that Ge Meng did not believe her explanation when she saw his expression. However, she did not care. She came here to train herself anyway. She did not need to care about anything else.
At night, the men shared a tent while Yu Huang stayed alone.
Before they slept, Gulli and his men sprinkled a layer of insect repellent powder outside the tent to prevent low-level demon beasts from attacking them when they were asleep.
When it was sprinkled near Yu Huang’s tent, Gulli told her, “I have a lot of lovers in Rakshasa Empire, and all of them are as beautiful as flowers. They won’t look the same from Monday to the weekend. I have a beauty complex. Don’t worry, I won’t pester you.”
Yu Huang glanced at the bottom triangle of Gulli’s tent mysteriously and reminded him kindly, “Remember to go for checkups regularly.” With that, she pulled open the tent’s zipper and entered.
Gulli stood outside the tent with a dazed expression.
Ge Meng called to him, “Come back and sleep.”
Gulli returned to his bro’s side with a bitter expression. He felt somewhat wronged. “That girl actually asked me to go for a checkup! What does she mean?”
Gemmon rolled his eyes at him. “She’s worried that you might get sick from messing around. Who asked you to brag and change things up once a week…”
Gulli was extremely embarra.s.sed. “I was just embarra.s.sed by her rejection!”
Ge Meng shook his head and sighed. This fool!
The next day at daybreak, everyone set off.
They had just approached the domain that bordered the outer and middle areas of the forest when they encountered a Tier 3 demonic beast.
It was a demonic beast that resembled a leopard. Its body was pure black, but it had six legs and two tails. Each tail was filled with thorns.
The black panther was dozing on a tree. When it heard the sound of footsteps, it immediately stood up and bared its teeth at Ge Meng and the others while threatening them.
When Ge Meng saw that the leopard had discovered them, he immediately pulled out his gun and shouted, “Everyone, pay attention. It’s a level-three demon beast, Snow Seeker Panther!”
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly gathered into a circle and fired at the leopard in turn.
Although the level-three demon beast was intelligent, it was not as intelligent as humans. After being shot, it immediately became angry.
The demon beast suddenly jumped towards them and bit off a man’s arm. It stepped on the gun in his hand and roared at the sky!
“He’s calling for a companion!” Ge Meng looked confused. He said, “The Plum Leopard has always lived alone. Why does he have a companion?”
Gulli thought for a moment and guessed, “Maybe it’s calling its parents to help?”
“But the Plum Leopards don’t live with their parents.”
Yu Huang had a different thought. She stared at the Plum Leopard’s lower body and said, “This leopard is in heat. He’s calling his spouse. We probably interrupted his rendezvous with his lover by breaking into his territory.”
Thus, it was enraged!
The enraged leopard suddenly attacked them. Ge Meng shouted, “Change the formation!”
They quickly changed formations and continuously fired at the leopard.
After biting off two members, the leopard finally collapsed to the ground due to his serious injuries.
Joy appeared on everyone’s faces. They were about to cut open the leopard’s stomach to see if there were any demon cores in its body.
At this moment, a furious roar suddenly sounded from afar. “How dare you!”
The moment the cry stopped, a pale yellow shadow emerged from the forest and landed firmly beside the black leopard.
It was a female snow leopard with beautiful light yellow fur.
The female leopard arched her back and said to Ge Meng and the others, “You injured him. I want you to pay with your blood!”
Ge Meng’s expression changed greatly. “It’s a level-six demon beast!” Only a level-six demon beast could speak human language!
Their mercenary group had previously exhausted all their strength and gone through great pains to capture a level-five demon beast. Now, they had actually encountered a level-six demon beast!
In front of a level-six demon beast, the entire team would die!
Ge Meng looked at Yu Huang and thought to himself that this girl was really unlucky. The first time she entered the abyss to hunt, she had encountered the strongest one.
Gulli also cursed. “d.a.m.n, why did this level-three male leopard find a level-six female leopard? Are all female leopards nowadays no longer picky?”
“When a man and a woman get married, they care about being well-matched in terms of social status. This female leopard found a third-level trash. Why on earth is this? Is it because that male leopard is good at sweet-talking or because he has a strong waist and martial arts skills? Huh?”
Gulli, who had just been mercilessly rejected by Yu Huang last night, was even jealous of a male leopard now.
