Chapter 484: Hunting (1/2)

Xue Wei could feel Luoluo's energy and excitement, and his lips curled into a smile. While he felt slightly exhausted after the battle with the Monarch Piranha Flower and later with the poison incident, he was not against pushing himself to his limits so that he could improve.

It was not only him who was exhausted; the Monarch Piranha Flower had clearly used up all its extra energy to launch those attacks..

Xue Wei was aware that it would take some time for the flower to launch another attack, but he could never rest on his laurels, at any moment when he was pushed to the breaking point, the flower could initiate another attack, and cause him to suffer.

As such, he had to know what his limits were, and the only way to figure it out was by trying to push himself. This was a dance with death, as the slightest mistake could end up being his demise, and the Monarch Piranha Flower would take over his body.

But right now, they had to focus on the problem at hand. They wanted to deal with the army camp that was close to them, but to do so, they had to be smart about it.

They began scouting the area; it only took three days to reach the edge of the army. It was an old city that had been converted into a staging ground. The tall city wall was full of soldiers that were patrolling its premises. The gates were closed, and they only opened when the experts that arrived could prove their identity.

Xue Wei and his friends were all hiding at the edge of a forest that was located right next to the city. Although they were close, they had to keep moving, as patrols were sent out from the city at regular times.

These patrols were scouting the surrounding area, always on high alert, but they were never able to find Xue Wei and his friends.

After moving for some time, they soon found the pattern in which these patrols were moving, and they easily avoided them afterward.

”Why are we not killing the patrols already?” Luoluo was getting impatient as she watched another patrol pass by them. They had been hiding in the forest for a week to gather information, but they had still not made even the slightest move against the soldiers stationed at the camp.

”When we move, we will show them that we are here,” Xue Wei patiently explained. ”Our aim is to kill as many as possible when we finally make our move, and force the others to come out to catch us, which will result in us hunting down even more experts from the Xiyang Continent.”

Luoluo listened to Xue Wei and obediently nodded her head, but her eyes, which seemed pure and innocent, were a sharp contrast to the words that sprouted from her mouth, ”When do we start killing then? We have wasted a whole week, and I cannot wait for the bloodbath to begin. It is exciting to try our hand against a whole army camp.”
