Chapter 42 (1/2)
In an absentminded manner, Feng Wu started snorting softly as she pouted slightly.
Without warning, Lu Ming was whispering by her ear, “You’ve so much to say. Do you care for me that much?”
Feng Wu was caught off-guard and started in fright, nearly crying out loud. Her small face blushed furiously as she shot Lu Ming a vicious glare. “What nonsense is that? Who cares for you? If it weren’t for Bis Sis Mu Lan’s order, if it weren’t for you rescuing me, I wouldn’t have given two sh*ts about you!”
“Oh! So, that’s how it is!” Lu Ming clicked his tongue and looked away.
Phew!
Feng Wu let out a gentle sigh. Even so, for some reason, her heart would not stop racing.
In a short while, another group arrived. These were the apprentices of the Onyx Tortoise Hall.
The four halls were all here.
Lu Ming and Feng Wu held their breaths as they stared ahead.
After a moment, the apprentices of the four halls placed one Silver-eyed Rabbit after another at the cave’s entrance. Then, they all scattered and took up hiding spots nearby.
There were over fifty Silver-eyed Rabbits at east. The Silver-eyed Rabbits were all filled up with Drowsy Powder. The smell of the rabbits charged the air.
Rustle…
In a while, a monitor lizard, which was half a meter tall and four meters long, came clambering out. It was covered in black scales.
This was a Black-scaled Monitor Lizard. Nevertheless, it was evidently just an ordinary Black-scaled Monitor Lizard, which was equivalent to a Second Grade Second Level demonic beast. It was not a mutated Black-scaled Monitor Lizard that was on the Ninth Grade Second Level.
The Black-scaled Monitor Lizard spotted the Silver-eyed Rabbits the moment it crawled out. It hurriedly scampered forwards and swallowed a Silver-eyed Rabbit in a single gulp with great relish.
Rustle…
At this point, another Black-scaled Monitor Lizard came out as well. It was not a mutated Black-scaled Monitor Lizard either.
Soon, a few Black-scaled Monitor Lizards clambered out one after another. In a few moments, they had swallowed ten or so Silver-eyed Rabbits.
The apprentices of the four halls were rather anxious. They had spent several days just to capture these Silver-eyed Rabbits. If these ordinary Black-scaled Monitor Lizards ate them all, the apprentices would not have a second chance.
Currently, there were only two days left until the end of the test. They had no time to capture that many Silver-eyed Rabbits again.
Furthermore, they did not have enough Drowsy Powder with them.
Just then…
Roar!
A thunderous cry echoed from the cave. Following that, there was continuous thumping as a colossal creature emerged.
This was a Black-scaled Monitor Lizard as well, but its size was ten times that of the others. Moreover, its eyes were red.
A metal piece that hung around this Black-scaled Monitor Lizard’s neck proclaimed two words: “Five Hundred”.
The 500-point metal piece!
Everyone’s gazes shone fervently.
Roar!
Upon noticing the Silver-eyed Rabbits, the mutated Black-scaled Monitor Lizard unleashed a loud howl.
Rustle…
The other Black-scaled Monitor Lizards seemed frightened and they all retreated.
The mutated Black-scaled Monitor Lizard forged ahead by itself and opened its grisly jaws. In one gulp, it devoured five or six Silver-eyed Rabbits.
After a few minutes, almost 40 Silver-eyed Rabbits were swallowed by the mutated Black-scaled Monitor Lizard.
It roared once more, then turned around, slowly slinking back into the cave.
Rustle…
At this point, the regular Black-scaled Monitor Lizards, which had eaten the Silver-eyed Rabbits first, swayed slightly before falling to the ground and snoring in deep slumber.
The Drowsy Powder in the Silver-eyed Rabbits within their stomachs was taking effect.
The apprentices of the four halls did not rush into the cave as they waited for the medicine to work.
