Chapter 387 - Stalking the Mantis (Part-4) (1/2)

It was a bad day to be Chasing Winds she had literally tore her skin off yet the smell did not vanish it seemed to have seemed through every pores of her body making her feel ill as nothing worked, even if by using some form of array she blocked the sense of smell she could taste, feel it and she started to see it, the terrifying smell was slowly driving her insane.

'Why did I foolishly conspire against him, I should not have done so I should not have…', was what ran through the mind of Chasing Winds who was desperately trying to grasping any straws like a drowning man to save herself.

Ryuu meanwhile sat near a campfire with his group which now included Frost Flames and True-Spear as he poked and prodded the fire Su-Min spoke with a sigh, ”I know that you all decided to prank her and her group for eavesdropping but was it not cruel to deal her with such punishment.”

Ryuu looked at her as he spoke, ”Forgot to add murder along with it.”

Su-Min was taken aback by that as she spoke in disbelief, ”What?!”

Frozen Ocean looked directly into her eyes as she spoke in a cold voice, ”I overheard her group and her planning on disposing both of us as such considering the fact that she is she still breathing and kicking is more than merciful.”

True-Spear nodded solemnly at that, ”So true enemies should always be dealt with, without any remorse.”

Ryuu looked up to the sky as he spoke, ”You know according to my family I am too soft hearted, even if I drew them into that enclosure I never would have guessed they would kill the beast without trying to check what it was in the first hand.”

Frozen Ocean who was sitting by his side simply gave a small pat as spoke in a soft voice, ”Brother Ryuu that makes you better than most of us, even after your enemy wishes your ruin still you think about their well being and as for the unfortunate incident well that was their karma acting.”, while inwardly it was different manner, 'Calling you soft is a big joke the most accurate description is that you Ryuu are a sadist as people would simply kill their enemy rather make them beg for death and bask in it.'

Zywia bit her lips as she spoke, ”You know I never would have thought she would betray is like that.”, as she spoke both Su-Min and Daniella supported with a nod, even Frost Flames looked a bit dejected as Zywia spoke.

Meanwhile Frozen Ocean simply balled her fist as she spoke, ”For that she should die a thousand times when I first learn about her treachery I lost all sense of reason if it were not for Ryuu I would have attacked them then and there.”

Ryuu simply shook his head as he spoke, ”It would have amounted in us getting seriously injured or Heavens forbid dead they had completely outnumbered us.”

Frozen Ocean simply nodded as Amnon who was sitting a few distance away from them spoke for the first time, ”Did any of you find where they are hiding?”

True-Spear shook his head as he spoke, ”No I do not believe we have found all of them.”

Amnon frowned at that as he spoke, ”Then they might be plotting against us.”

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, ”You saw the devastation caused by that smell it would take a couple of months before it wears down as such the chance of them plotting against us during that time is very very slim.”

Almost everyone looked at him with their face morphed into a look of horror at that as Amnon spoke with a sigh, ”I pity them death would have been merciful for them.”

As others nodded in agreement Ryuu gained a melancholic look on his face, ”Maybe so but death is the end of every hopes and dreams not to mention wasteful, after all life has so many possibilities infact it has infinite possibilities and anyone specially a cultivator can achieve so much.”, as many amongst them nodded in agreement Ryuu was having a completely not so innocent thoughts floating inside his head, 'What I just said to them is absolutely true after all there are so many different ways I can use them as a bait.'

True-Spear snorted at that as he spoke, ”Meh we are cultivators after death we will reincarnate and start anew.”
