Chapter 448: Certain Death (1/2)
Now that all of Mu Shen’s subordinates were gone, he started to panic. Looking at Pei Rumo standing before him without any major injuries, he knew that he wouldn’t be able to beat the First Price of the Cloud Water Nation in a fight. ”What do you wish to do? If something happens to me, my Emperor Father and Empress Mother will never let you off!”
Truly a paper tiger... Pei Rumo felt a wave of disdain sweep across his heart when he heard what Mu Shen said. He was the prince of a nation and was entrusted with the responsibility of taking up the front lines. However, he was acting like a huge coward when facing an enemy from another nation.
”What is Your Highness afraid of? Seeing that there is no one else to protect you, I wish to invite you to continue our treasure hunting journey.” Pei Rumo sounded so friendly that no one would ever think that he was speaking to his enemy.
As for Mu Shen, he knew that something was definitely off.
Too bad for him, he didn’t have a choice. Instead of dying like a nobody along the way, he felt that it would be better to follow Pei Rumo to explore the ruins. After all, he would be able to keep his life for a little longer.
When Mu Shen nodded, Pei Rumo felt rather surprised. He initially thought that Mu Shen would run away with his tail tucked between his legs. Instead, Mu Shen proved him wrong.
After thinking about it, Pei Rumo realized the true reason Mu Shen was willing to agree. He just doesn’t wish to die here… If he follows me, he will be able to keep his life for now...
As such, the princes from two hostile nations started to work together as they explored the ruins riddled with danger. If anyone were to see such a scene they would definitely sigh with amazement. ”In this wide and extensive world, there is truly nothing too bizarre.”
After Pei Rumo set off the trap that caused metal spikes to rain down from the ceiling, no one knew where the next trap would be.
In fact, Pei Rumo wasn’t confident in his own abilities at all. He didn’t study much about traps and mechanisms as he had always been fighting large scale wars on the battlefields. He didn’t have the time to look at those ‘useless’ knowledge and much less study the Book of Changes. Like a blind rat, Pei Rumo groped at the air and slowly made his way forward. This was also the reason he allowed Mu Shen to live. After all, it would always be convenient to have a meat shield around.
Too bad she wasn’t.
When he thought about her again, the light in his eyes dimmed a little. Even now, he didn’t know if she was in any danger. Pei Qingfeng might be strong, but Pei Rumo still felt that he wasn’t good enough to take proper care of her.
In the next instant, her pale face after all her spirit qi was exhausted appeared in his mind. In order to look for her, Pei Rumo quickened his exploration of the path.
When Mu Shen saw Pei Rumo charging through all the obstacles, he felt so frightened that his soul was about to leave his body.
”What are you walking so fast for?! There are traps here! If you accidentally activate one of them, we’ll both be dead!”
Pei Rumo turned back and rolled his eyes before moving forward. He felt like if he was a little late, Bai Luochu would encounter more mishaps. As for Mu Shen, Pei Rumo had already intended to turn him into a mearshield. Why would he care about someone whose purpose was to die?
