Chapter 76: Cleansing Midnight Mushroom
Having found the perfect location, Xu Min and Ye Ling started to go through every inch of the place. There were a few beasts left behind, but most of them were killed swiftly by Xu Min and his lion.
Keeping their beast cores, Xu Min smiled as he scanned the area with his Qi. He noticed thatthey had traveled quicker than he had expected. He also noticed that Shen Yu’s group which previously had moved slowly but confidently were now spreading out their Qi to cover large pieces of land to scan it for living creatures making their movements slower.
“If we want them to notice us, then we need to hurry up,” Ye Ling sneered. Xu Min nodded his head. Xu Min found two mushroom-like plants. He handed one to Ye Ling and ate the other. The aura, scent and presence of both man and beast returned.
“We are lucky that there are no other groups close by,” Xu Min sighed as he sat down and waited for the Shen Ye’s group to notice them.
It did not take long before a Qi aura reached Xu Min and his lion. They were scanned by Shen Ye’s Qi, which instantly vanishing moments after encountering them.
“Master Shen!” someone called at the group of experts, “I found Xu Min and his beast. They are in the savannah just outside of this forest. I think they knew they were running out of Illusion Spirit Grass and started rushing away from us. They were probably hoping that we would not notice them. They are retreating even now as we speak!”
The speaker was filled with excitement. His eyes gleamed as he thought about the ability to be capable of defeating the infamous Xu Min. Having seen his comrades die, he was blinded by anger and also greed. They could all guess that Xu Min had killed many experts while being in the Immortal Valley. and they all wanted these emblems.
Shen Yu’s face turned curious when he heard the words spoken by the expert in front of him, but he was not instantly ordering everyone to change their location.
“Why are you hesitating Shen Yu?” A friend by his side asked. This person was not like the others but Shen Yu’s genuine friend. He often listened to him, and the two together ledthis diminishing group of experts.
“So far all of his planned have worked out,” Shen Yu said slowly as he scratched his chin. “Although he no longer has the illusion spirit grass to hide his aura, who is to say he did not remove it on purpose? Our group has gotten lowered by a lot already, how can we possibly just rush into something which is likely to be an ambush?” Shen Yu asked curiously.
“We got more people than him, but somehow he has managed to tame a fifth-rank Golden-furred Blood Lion, according to that one guy who survived the attack. If he was truly correct, then we are in big trouble. While the beast keeps me busy, Xu Min will have enough time to attack every one of my followers.”
“He is only a three-star Warrior,” the friend laughed, “even if he can kill a few experts, he will soon be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of experts we have. We can easily kill him.”
Hearing these words, Shen Yu shook his head once more, “no we cannot. You know he got the nickname when he was only a level two-star Warrior. He battled a lot of men at once, but even so, he was able to defeat everyone that came into his reach.”
“I don’t fear that we won’t be able to kill him,” Shen Yu continued, “but I am not willing to pay the price we need to pay for such a victory. At least another half of my group will vanish, and so far I have not gotten enough beast cores to be able to rank highly.” Shen Yugrumbled, but his friend just laughed.
“Do you care if these people die, or are you just interested in their emblems?” he asked for clarification. Shen Yu sent him a telling glance. He clearly did not care about their lives.
“If that is the case, then go and hunt down this Xu Min. Even if your experts die, you will be the survivor who can take all the emblems. You will even be able to take all the emblems that this Xu Min has gotten up until now. With his many kills, he ought to be loaded with emblems.”
“Once you have killed him, though you’ve lost the majority of your force, you can just start again and gain more followers once more. You are a direct descendant of the Snow Mountain of the Dragon Ruins. There are so many people who are willing to find you.”
The more his friend spoke, the more Shen Yu was tempted to do as he was being told. The many emblems he had lost so far was truly a pain to him, getting them all back alongside more emblems was something he definitely wanted.
