Chapter 42: Imminent Peril
The conviction in Xue Wei's eyes was so overwhel that both Luo Zhirou and Shen Mu shi+vered They knew that he was not joking
”You can only kill humans that are bandits or evil!” Lou Zhirou interjected with her brows knitted together, a worried expression on her face Xue Wei s nor approving, but he sently chuckled
Lou Zhirou pouted slightly ”You should take me seriously,” she muttered, but she wanted to look adorable in front of Shen Mu, so she did not flare up at the dismissal that Xue Wei showed in response to her words
Xue Wei talked a bit more with Lou Zhirou and Shen Mu about what they had experienced so far during the trip, about the Genius Ca the recruit
As Xue Wei was alone once more, he looked at Luo Zhirou who had left and bared his teeth in a sinister sood or evil,” he muttered to himself ”I will kill anyone who stands in el or a demon For me, it does not matter”
As Xue Wei said this he startled and a shi+ver ran down his spine “Why would I think like this?” he asked himself with befuddlement “I am not some bloodthirsty murderer, even if all of them think so, I a about this, he was feeling unco totihts by a loud voice
”Everyone, stop what you are doing!” the captain called out as he looked around hiround and placed a hand on the soil, the scowl on his face deepening
”Soet ready to defend yourself if things go awry!”
Everyone felt nervous So far, the captain had battled with a Sky-real his composure, but he had not been as sole their as a dangerous threat to all of theuards
Everyone understood that this was a severe threat to their group They did not hesitate as they brandished their weapons and waited nervously for whatever it was that the captain had noticed
”This is the best location for us to encounter a beast horde We are just on the outskirts of the forest, and the beasts can only come from in front of us”
”Beast horde?!” as soon as he said beast horde, everyone paled, and a large group of them trembled
They had heard about beast hordes before They were the real terror of any arroup
Prie from some hundred beasts to hundreds of thousands
All the beasts were Fierce Beasts, and thus their strength could not be underestimated
”Will we even survive this?” one of the more petrified experts asked with tears in his eyes ”We are still not at the recruitment camp, but we already lost this many of our comrades Were it not for the ferociousness of Xue Wei, e all had considered trash, then ould have lost even more of our brothers and sisters”
”Don't jinx us!” another expert sneered ”The other experts have le year; ill too!”
”There is a real Priroup!” soh the entire group It was coe that Primordial Beasts controlled beast hordes
Everyone knew that Prith, shape, and size So; some eaker Some of them had appearances almost similar to huinal shape
Pri for some time after birth They were as weak as ordinary rew older, they would becoth would skyrocket
If they were lucky, they would be up against a young Priotten its huht not prove too problematic as there were a chance that the beast horde would be sainst the prirown one, then they would have a very slim chance at survival
”Was she a Primordial Beast?” Li Jian suddenly muttered to himself, his face filled with shock and his eyes open wide He had not wanted to believe it, but considering that a Giant Sand Snake had attacked the pointed towards the fact that she was a Primordial Beast
”I colluded with a Priain, his voice so weak, and tre He could not even hear it himself, and the turmoil in his heart was unbearable He hated primordial beasts, but he equally hated Xue Wei
”It will be fine,” heAs long as Xue Wei dies, I will be okay No one will ever know of this deal I made”
Li Jian was more scared for himself than the others If the world knew that he had worked together with a Priht away
”I should be safe The beasts should know not to touch ain He had a deal with the Primordial Beast, and the deal was that Xue Wei would die, while he would survive
