Chapter 710: Act! (1/2)
What truly surprised him was the resurrected leader, who was obviously on another level compared to the undead he had saved. Bai Xiaofei quickly realized from the brief communication how tough he was to deal with. Not to mention his strength, the fact that he could complete his resurrection spoke for itself.
After parting ways with the other two parties, Bai Xiaofei’s group stopped for a long rest and recovery, so long that everyone finally found themselves unable to sit still. If it weren’t for the old members sitting around Bai Xiaofei, someone would have made a fuss.
“Are you sure they will act first if we don’t move?” Ferret frowned in doubt.
According to Bai Xiaofei, they were waiting for any other party to test the waters, then act accordingly after having a rough idea of the demon king’s power. However, Ferret thought no one would be so foolish to volunteer themselves into trouble, so waiting was a waste of time.
“Don’t worry, curiosity can’t stand the test of time. I can’t be sure about that resurrected person, but the other two groups will definitely move.” Bai Xiaofei revealed a crafty smile and looked confidently at Ferret. “So, we only have to wait.”
“What about you? Aren’t you curious? What makes you think you can hold back your curiosity and they can’t?” Ferret asked, obviously trying to make it difficult for Bai Xiaofei.
“Very simple, because they are big names, while I am a nobody. I can sit here disregarding everything as I don’t care about the opinions of anyone in my group, but they can’t.” Bai Xiaofei grinned and ignored Ferret’s manner. “They are used to sitting on their high horses and the fear of death has gradually faded from their subconscious mind, but I’m different. I am more afraid of death than anyone else. Compared to my life, curiosity is nothing important.”
The explanation stupefied Ferret and extinguished his irritation. He had to admit that Bai Xiaofei was right. Not only Jackdaw or the others, but even Ferret himself also had this problem. Getting used to being a mighty expert would uncontrollably give birth to the pride in one’s heart. It was a good thing most of the time, but it could also blind the person.
After everyone’s doubts were answered, Bai Xiaofei’s group continued to wait. However, they didn’t have to wait for long.
The sounds and vibrations of fighting soon came from the distance. It was not hard to tell how fierce the battle was going. With one party opening the way, the rest quickly headed toward that direction. A mass battle between three parties turned the whole underground area into a slaughterhouse.
Every second that passed, a life disappeared…
“What’s the hurry? Have you heard of someone giving their all right at the start of a battle? They still have great potential!” Bai Xiaofei stopped Ferret.
Ferret was choked by anger, but in the end he sat back down with a cold snort. Wait, huh? I’ll see how long you can wait!
