Chapter 46: Mountain Demon

No matter what, the team had already been formed. Zheng Xia could only harden his forehead and continue to lead his team forwards.

He had no hopes of scoring it big. As long as no large issues arose, he would be very happy as the captain of this team.

The Falling Eagle Mountain was not particularly large, but it was not small either. In particular, its terrain was complex, filled with a vast forest.

Team Bright slowly advanced through the forest, searching for any Vicious Beasts that might be there. Simultaneously, they were on the lookout for any Vicious Beasts that they could not defeat. Life was not a game – you could hunt Vicious Beasts, but you could also be hunted by them.

Sun Jizu was responsible for standing guard.

He cultivated an eye skill called the Unbounded Eye. Because the trees were very lush, the dense foliage greatly restricted their eyesight. The Unbounded Eye could strengthen one’s eyesight and even penetrate through objects that weren’t too thick. Thus, their team would be able to discover Vicious Beasts earlier than they would be discovered.

For this reason, Sun Jizu was often standing on high ground, gazing down at the ground below him.

“Jizu, how does it look from up there?” Yan Fuxing yelled to him.

“No traces of any beasts at least five kilometers out in any direction. I say, where did all those Vicious Beasts go? It can’t be that they ran away because of us?” Sun Jizu replied as he continued scanning their surroundings.

This was just a boastful joke, but to the ears of someone who always took things seriously it sounded very different.

“Not all Vicious Beasts will walk over arrogantly. Many of them know how to draw near without making much noise,” Cloud Leopard said.

When it came to hunting, he always took things very seriously.

“Are you telling me there are beasts that snuck past me that I missed?” Sun Jizu was a bit irritated.

There was no way Cloud Leopard’s reply would improve the situation. He said, “Not yet.”

Sun Jizu glared fiercely at him. He said in a low voice, “Are you saying that you’re certain I won’t see those Vicious Beasts?”

If it were Su Chen, he probably would’ve claimed that he didn’t mean it that way, but Cloud Leopard replied frankly, “Yes!”

Goddammit!

If it weren’t for the fact that Zheng Xia had restrained him, Sun Jizu probably would’ve punched Cloud Leopard.

“I hate that kid. He always speaks like he has a grudge against someone. He’s just so naturally annoying,” Sun Jizu muttered.

Du Qing and Yan Fuxing walked together. Evidently, neither of them had a good impression of Cloud Leopard.

They made no attempt to lower their voices. Even Wang Doushan and Su Chen heard them.

When Su Chen gazed at Cloud Leopard, he had trouble stifling his laughter. However, Cloud Leopard seemed to be staring off into the distance completely motionless. A killing intent began to emanate from his body.

u Chen was stunned. He hurriedly leaned towards Cloud Leopard. “Leopard, don’t pay any mind to what they are saying. They don’t actually have any evil intentions……”

Cloud Leopard interrupted him. “There are two Vicious Beasts six kilometers away.”

Hm?

Su Chen froze for a moment before jumping onto a nearby tree.

Although he had no eye skills, his Origin Energy seeing eye could penetrate objects as well, so he was also somewhat able to see through the leaves and branches.

Towards the east, there were indeed two Mountain Demons drawing near to them.

Su Chen turned around and said to Sun Jizu, “You’d best come take a look at this.”

Sun Jizu also leapt into a tree and looked in the direction that Su Chen point in. He very quickly saw what Su Chen was pointing at and yelled, “There are Vicious Beasts six kilometers away from us towards the East……. They’re Mountain Demons! How did you discover them?”

His question was aimed towards Su Chen.

“It wasn’t me that discovered them. It was Cloud Leopard,” Su Chen replied.

Sun Jizu was stunned.

Cloud Leopard?

He hadn’t even jumped onto the tree. How did he know that there were Vicious Beasts that far away?

No matter how much doubt everyone had, they all rushed towards the Mountain Demons.

The two Mountain Demons quickly appeared.

They looked just like lemurs that had their faces kicked in. Their face was extremely flat, and their bodies had no hair on them. Their limbs looked like dried out old tree branches.

Mountain Demons were mid-tier Vicious Beasts. They possessed significant physical strength and could conceal themselves within trees. However, they did not have many attack-type skills.
