Chapter 749: Don’t Disappoint Me (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After leaving Rakshasa City, the Eliza Mercenary Group gathered with the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group that was waiting outside the city.
Yu Huang saw Sheng Xiao immediately.
Sheng Xiao, Donor, Xiao Shu, Estelle, and Feng Yuncheng were sitting behind the off-road truck that Snow Wolf was in. The five of them were sitting on the same bench. Because the back of the truck was open, Yu Huang and the others saw them immediately.
Noticing that everyone in the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group was wearing a cloak, Eliza said in surprise, “They don’t usually wear cloaks.” Things like cloaks were especially troublesome during battle.
This wasn’t a runway show. Who would wear that for no reason?
Yu Huang smiled and said, “That’s to block Donor and the others’ wings.”
Donor and the others’ wings were a part of their bodies, while Yu Huang’s Vermillion Bird wings were a flying demon technique, an energy body. Yu Huang could freely put the Vermillion Bird wings into her body, but Donor and the others couldn’t.
Even if they retracted their wings, they would stick to their backs and couldn’t be hidden. Therefore, the cloak was the best cover.
Seeing that the Eliza Mercenary Group had already arrived, Snow Wolf threw a cigarette at Eliza. “Give me a cigarette.”
Eliza reached out and grabbed the cigarette. She turned to him and asked, “Snow Wolf, did you see any other mercenary corps?”
Snow Wolf’s expression darkened. He said, “Almost all the mercenary groups in Rakshasa City were threatened by them.” Snow Wolf pouted towards the front. “Two mercenary groups have already pa.s.sed before you.”
Hearing this, Eliza picked up the binoculars and looked ahead. Sure enough, she saw a convoy driving quickly on the plain hundreds of meters away.
At that moment, they heard another convoy driving towards them. Eliza looked back and saw the shark pattern on the truck. She curled her lips and said, “The Sharks Mercenary Corps are here.”
The Sharks Mercenary Corps was another mercenary group that had a deep relationship with Yu Huang.
Three years ago, after she graduated from high school, she took advantage of the fact that the Divine Realm Academy had yet to start school to enter the abyss alone to train. At that time, the mercenary group she joined happened to be the Sharks Mercenary Group.
She still remembered that the leader of the Sharks Mercenary Group was Ge Meng and the deputy leader was Gulli.
Yu Huang was lost in her thoughts when she heard a familiar male voice coming from the new convoy. “Eliza, Snow Wolf, I didn’t expect you two to be here too.”
Yu Huang raised her head and looked at the person who spoke. She saw Ge Meng, who was sitting in the pa.s.senger seat of a grayish-green off-road vehicle. It had been three years since they last met, and there was a terrifying scar on Ge Meng’s elegant and handsome face. The scar went from Ge Meng’s left eyebrow to his left chin.
That knife pierced through the left side of his face and almost blinded him.
Yu Huang took a closer look at Ge Meng’s side, but she didn’t see the tall Gulli. Perhaps Ge Meng couldn’t bear to let his brother out to die, so he left him at the headquarters of the Sharks Mercenary Corps.
Eliza bit her cigarette and snorted. She said sarcastically, “I really didn’t expect that your Sharks Mercenary Group wouldn’t be able to escape either.”
Ge Meng shook his head. His tone was helpless, but he said very calmly, “So what if the Sharks Mercenary Corps has an extensive battle record? In the eyes of those big shots, no matter how powerful we are, we’re just a group of ants.”
Ge Meng also lit a cigarette for himself. He narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the primitive forest. He said coldly, “In front of them, what can we do except accept our fate?”
Eliza stopped talking.
Snow Wolf laughed and said, “In the past, we fought to the death over the meat and Monster Cores of demon beasts. It can be said that we’re irreconcilable. I really didn’t expect us enemies to die on the same day.”
Snow Wolf suddenly took out three cans of beer from the glove box. He threw one to Eliza and one to Ge Meng.
Ge Meng didn’t stand on ceremony. He grabbed the beer can and pulled it away.
The three of them clinked gla.s.ses and didn’t say anything. After drinking the wine in one gulp, they drove quickly towards the Abyssal Origin Forest. After watching Ge Meng’s car drive to the front, Yu Huang opened the small window between the back of the truck and the driver’s seat.
Seeing that she had something to say, Eliza leaned back. “What can I do for you, Wu Huang?”
Yu Huang asked Eliza, “I only saw Ge Meng alone just now. Why isn’t his brother in the car? Could he have left him at the headquarters?”
Eliza remembered that Yu Huang had once joined the Sharks Mercenary Group. When she heard Yu Huang ask this question, Eliza’s eyes suddenly dimmed. “You’re talking about Gulli.” Eliza threw the cigarette b.u.t.t into the beer can. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the car Ge Meng was sitting in. She said in a low voice, “Gulli died last year. Their team was unlucky enough to encounter a level 5 demon beast. All the members of the team were eaten by the demon beast.”
Yu Huang was somewhat surprised to hear this news. “That’s a pity.”
“No. People like us rely on those demon beasts in the abyss to get rich. If we die, we’ll be eaten by demon beasts and fed to the primitive forest. It’s also a natural cycle.” Eliza patted her left leg and blinked at Yu Huang. She said calmly, “In the future, I’ll die like that too.”
Yu Huang didn’t comment on Eliza’s words. She only silently stroked the a.s.sault gun in her arms.
When it was dark, they arrived at the Black Dome.
Yin Rong glanced at the Holy Spirit Academy on the Black Dome, but it was too dark and the Black Dome was too high, so she didn’t see anything. “I only hope that our points won’t be deducted.”
Yu Huang sensed a familiar psychic power extending down from the top of the Black Dome. That psychic power was silently sizing up their convoy. Yu Huang knew that it was Lin Jiansheng hiding in the dark and observing all of this, so she deliberately released her psychic aura.
When Lin Jiansheng sensed that Yu Huang was also in the mercenary convoy, he immediately revealed a puzzled expression. “Huh? Why is Ah Huang with that group of mercenaries?”
Lin Jiansheng was worried, so he kept an eye out and used his psychic aura to secretly observe Yu Huang’s movements.
Yu Huang sensed her mentor’s existence. The corners of her lips curled up slightly into an evil smile.
Her mentor was kind and benevolent. If he discovered the actions of the vice sect master of the Dark Night Ghost Sect, he definitely wouldn’t let it go easily. Yu Huang crossed her legs and leaned against the car to sleep. She thought to herself, “Vice Sect Master, don’t disappoint me.”
