Chapter 695 - : Argument (1/2)
Ren Xiaosu did not give any serious thought as to what Luo Lan was gesturing to him. Therefore, he was unaware that Luo Lan was deeply regretting it now. He was regretting that he had been so reckless for wanting to come out to the Sacred Mountains.
As Luo Lan dwelled on it, he actually dozed off.
That night, the monster did not come near the campsite again. When Ren Xiaosu went to sleep, “Old Xu” remained sitting cross-legged outside the campsite. If any creature were to attack it, he would immediately sense it through the pain that was relayed back to him.
Although Ren Xiaosu could not control Old Xu while he was asleep, Old Xu acted like bait by sitting alone in the wilderness. If the enemy were a wild animal, who would it attack?
It would definitely not attack the campsite that was occupied by dozens of people.
After the battle was over, everyone at the campsite could only hear the commotion coming from the wilderness but not know what was going on out there. As a result, everyone suffered from sleeplessness again for the rest of the night.
Cheng Yu suddenly lamented how he had not had a single good night’s sleep since their expedition to the Sacred Mountains started.
He sat outside his tent and let the flickering campfire illuminate his cheeks. Song Qiao was sitting next to him and holding a cup of hot water to keep his hands warm. “What’re you thinking about?”
“I’m wondering if we can get out of the Sacred Mountains alive,” Cheng Yu answered calmly.
“Hehe, what’s the point of thinking about that?” Song Qiao said with a smile, “Have you ever thought that the head of the Anjing House might not even care if we survive or not?”
Cheng Yu glanced at him. “No.”
As the snoring continued, Song Qiao looked to Luo Lan’s tent and lamented, “I’m a little envious of him. That Fatty Luo is really fearless. If I had a younger brother like Qing Zhen, I would’ve gone somewhere to lead a carefree life. Why would I want to come here and risk my life? As the saying goes, ‘The son of a wealthy family does not sit under the eaves; a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.’ With such a distinguished status, I would be cherishing my life for sure. Just what is that Fatty Luo really thinking?”
“Who knows?” Cheng Yu sighed and said, “But don’t you underestimate that Fatty Luo. Just as we’ve said before, Luo Lan must have a very powerful person backing him up in this group.”
“Let’s wait and see then.” Song Qiao shrugged.
When day broke, everyone formed into teams and hurried over to check on the battle site from last night without even freshening up.
The location where the battle took place 500 meters away was a mess. But strangely enough, there was no blood to be seen.
“Could neither side have been unable to hurt the other?” Cheng Yu frowned and said, “That’s really strange. How could no one have gotten injured when their battle caused such a huge commotion?”
“It might be that they were very cautious. After all, if they got injured in a place like this, they could end up dying out here,” Song Qiao said.
Wang Yun was standing next to a tree that had been cut down by Old Xu’s black saber. He was secretly shocked to see how neat the cut of the tree trunk was. Just how sharp did the weapon in his hand have to be to cut through a tree trunk that was so thick a person could wrap their arms around it? And the cut was made so cleanly too?
Not only did the weapon have to be sharp, the person wielding it would have to be exceptionally strong.
A young woman next to them noticed the cut on the tree trunk as well. She exclaimed, “Have you all ever seen such a sharp weapon before?”
When she said that, it alerted Cheng Yu. He was not sure if the others had seen it before, but he did!
When Old Xu killed T5102, Cheng Yu had lamented how powerful the weapon was if it could even cut down someone like a T5 combatant with a single slash.
