The Mailong Private Military Group set out at night.

They knew it was unwise to mess with the Tianshan Demon Tigers, so they decided to avoid them at all costs.

Luckily, the Tianshan Demon Tigers did not live in packs, and had their own territories. The group just had to follow the safe route that Guan Yu and Night Rakshasa had scouted.

“These creatures have outstanding awareness. They can detect us through presence and sound, but I have a feeling they have other strong senses too,” Guan Yu commented.

“We’re making progress. It’s better than being stuck back there,” Kuma replied.

Kuma was quite impressed by Guan Yu’s capabilities. She initially thought the ninth team would be a burden to the group, but it had turned out that a few of its members were very impressive.

The group hurried through the night. The Tianshan Demon Tigers were more active in the day. Little movements at night did not bother them unless they were extremely close to the creatures.

The sky was turning brighter. The light of dawn shone on the Alpine layer’s many pine trees. The same trees were common in the Rift Valley, as not every section of the Rift Valley was dark and narrow. There was little difference between the Rift Valley and the Alpine Layer. The group actually wondered if they were still in the Rift Valley.

The ground was covered in pine needles. They cracked softly when they were stepped on.

The snow melted in the morning, making the needles wet. It felt uneasy walking on the silent path that was full of needles. They were unable to tell whether the footsteps they heard were friendly, or if they belonged to a predator that was running out of patience.

Mo Fan began to feel a little thirsty. He took out a bottle of drinking water and conveniently passed it to Mu Ningxue, since he preferred it cold.

Mu Ningxue looked up and twisted her lips.

She passed the bottle back to him. Mo Fan thought she would just ignore his lame request, but he noticed the bottle was indeed chilled.

Mo Fan took a big sip from the bottle. He turned to Apas and saw she kept looking behind them.

“Go ahead first, I’ll need to train my pet,” Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan went to the back of the team. Apas immediately put on an angry and disdainful look when the taller Mo Fan came closer. She turned her head around, implying that she was not in the mood to talk to him.

“Is there something behind us?” Mo Fan asked.

“Who knows?” Apas answered.

“Apas, you seriously think I’m unaware of your little tricks? I asked you to take care of Mu Ningxue when she was sick, but did you do it?” Mo Fan spoke in a heavy voice.

“I…” Apas was a little intimidated when Mo Fan’s gaze sharpened. She had no idea why she was afraid of Mo Fan. She had an urge to behave herself whenever Mo Fan sounded serious. “I was just curious if she had some other abilities.”

“If you do it again next time, I’ll throw you back to Egypt!” Mo Fan threatened.

The look in Apas’ eyes shifted. “I dare you to do it then!” Apas harrumphed.

“Stop right there.”

“I’m not your slave!” Apas ran toward a ravine nearby.
