Chapter 2199 - Deceiving Voice (2/2)
Mo Fan carried the young men on his shoulders and brought them back to the group. He asked the boy in a white shirt what happened on the way.
“Why did you two leave the group?” Mo Fan asked.
“We heard Boleyn calling for us ahead… sir, Boleyn is in danger! They must have captured her!” the boy exclaimed.
“Boleyn was behind me all the time. She was having a chat with Sharjah,” Mo Fan replied darkly.
“That’s impossible. We clearly heard her voice!” the boy shouted.
“The Mountain Men can mimic human voices and target only certain people with them,” Mo Fan reminded him.
Even Mo Fan had forgotten about the possibility that the Mountain Men had the same ability as the Hillmen. After all, he did not know if the two were of the same species. However, it seemed like the Mountain Men on the Andes Mountains were better at mimicking voices.
A scream suddenly came from the distance. The boy curled up in fear and said, “Sir, is it coming again?”
“I don’t think so. My lightning must have hit it,” Mo Fan said breezily.
“Ah? It’s been quite a while. How could your spell still hit it?” the boy asked in disbelief.
“My spells never miss.”
“Sir, I didn’t think you were so strong. We didn’t stand a chance against it, yet you drove it away so easily. We were too proud of ourselves,” the boy admitted in shame.
If the lecturer had not arrived in time, not only would they be dead by now, they might even have lost their most precious thing as men!
“How could I be your lecturer if I’m not capable? You didn’t pay fifty gold for nothing… oh, speaking of which, remember to come to my classes next week,” Mo Fan told him.
“I’ll be there!” the boy swore.

Mo Fan left the boys in Boleyn’s care after regrouping with the others, as Boleyn’s secondary Element was the Healing Element. Her face turned pale when she saw their miserable condition.
“Sir, what happened to them?” she asked.
“They bumped into a Mountain Man. Sharjah, tell the others not to listen to the voices of people they are familiar with. The Mountain Men can mimic our voices and will lure them to a remote spot,” Mo Fan warned them all.
“What about your instructions a moment ago?” Sharjah’s eyes glittered.
Mo Fan was startled. He quickly looked around and realized half of the group was missing!
“Where’s Lecturer Zhao Yanzu? Didn’t I ask him to wait here?” Mo Fan asked.
“Sir, didn’t you tell him to head west? You told him Lecturer Mu Han was in trouble, so you asked him to bring some students along to back Lecturer Mu Han up,” Boleyn said.
“I never said that!. I asked him to stay put and keep an eye on the students!” Mo Fan’s face darkened.
They had really underestimated these Mountain Men. They had spread false information in the group to split them up while he was busy saving the boys.
It seemed like the scream for help was fake, too. He wondered how Miyamoto Shin and the others were doing!
