Chapter 2197 - Are You a Dung Beetle? (2/2)
“The whole school is spreading rumors about how scary the Mountain Men are. They might be cruel and savage, but there’s also the possibility that the people of the Black Vatican are exaggerating it to prevent students from going to their plantation,” Mo Fan noted.
“I think so too,” Mu Bai nodded.
“The Black Vatican won’t see through our disguises while we are with the students. Good job on planning this excursion. We can make money and investigate the plantation at the same time!” Mo Fan patted Mu Bai on the shoulder.
As expected of a virgin, who could concentrate better and focus on the task on hand. No wonder many schools and parents did not want their students to enter a relationship at a young age…

The noises of the insects lessened after they crossed the gully. Everyone subconsciously lowered their voices when they felt the strange and quiet atmosphere.
The shrubs and low canopy were replaced by towering trees centuries old. The canopy was not thick, however, and the group could still see the sky through the branches.
The wind blew by occasionally. The trees swayed gently when the wind was a little stronger. It was like the audience of a concert, swinging their heads rhythmically to the music.
If Earthworm Gully was not treated as an obvious boundary, those who set foot beyond it might feel relaxed because of the soothing environment!
“Are we really on the other side of the Earthworm Gully?”
“I bet my friends will admire me greatly when we get back to the school!”
“It’s fine if we don’t encounter the Mountain Men, we can just enjoy a casual walk.”
The students spoke softly, while Mo Fan and Mu Bai kept going forward fearlessly. The plantation they were after was not far away.
“Take the lead, I’ll handle it,” Mu Bai said when he suddenly noticed something.
“I’ll go,” Mo Fan volunteered.
“It’s trying to conceal its presence. Your Aura is too strong, it might run away. It has been following us for some time. It’s most likely waiting for an opening to make its move. I’ll deal with it first, so it won’t cause us any trouble,” Mu Bai said.
“Is your ability to identify demon creatures from observing their feces that impressive? Are you a dung beetle?” Mo Fan blurted out in astonishment.
Mo Fan had noticed an unusual presence at times, but it was gone whenever he tried to track it with his Shadow Element.
“I brought some insects with me that can keep an eye on the vicinity for us, like the moths of Fanxue Mountain!” Mu Bai opened his palm and revealed a few flying insects.
“Oh, so they are dung beetles?” Mo Fan asked brightly.
Mu Bai’s face darkened. He said in a serious tone, “They drink dew!”
“Speaking of which, I’ve detected an Aura that you didn’t have before the incident where you almost died. I believe it’s related to Dark Magic. Your bugs have it too…” Mo Fan prodded him.
Even though Mu Bai had the Poison Element, it was still different from Dark Magic!
Mu Bai had a strong Presence of Darkness now, something that Mo Fan had only sensed from the Elder of the Shadow Tribe!
