Chapter 487: Heart Ache (1/2)

The plans were going smoothly; in fact, they were so smooth that all of them were extra alert, worried that the Xiyang soldiers had planned it.

However, no matter how much they expected someone to ambush them, no matter how alert they were, the forest was completely silent, and no one appeared to deal with them.

After looting the corpses, and burning them to ashes, Xue Wei looked at his friends, and a sinister smile spread on his lips before he looked all around him.

”I would imagine that more teams should have been sent out, so it is time for us to begin hunting.”

The others were ecstatic when hearing that Xue Wei finally wanted to begin hunting the soldiers, and their hands were itching for a proper fight. So far, they had been ambushing their targets, and while this was necessary to ensure a swift and soundless method to kill their opponents, they did not feel their strength increase from gathering such easy kills.

But right now, the battle was in a rather tense period. They needed to fight a whole base by themselves, and thus they had to clean up as many groups they could find, and as effortlessly as possible.

Lan had no interest in interfering. He would step in at the very last moment, when they could no longer hold on, and when their bodies would be riddled with wounds, but he would not step in if he thought they could hold on, even if they had broken bones or serious injuries.

They were here to improve their strength, and if they knew that he would save them, the purpose of their fighting would be lost.

The group snuck through the forest. They were cautious and moved slowly. They observed their surroundings, and listened to all the sounds around them, in case someone else was closing in on them.

Bai Tianyi and Luoluo had their spiritual energy billowing out of their minds, shrouding them and their surroundings to ensure that no ambush was waiting for them.

But although they knew that they could search the surroundings with their spiritual energy, they were also aware that if they met someone stronger, that person would be able to hide their presence and inflict them with severe damage, so none of them relaxed.

They had walked for a few moments before they finally came across a group of people. These experts were also on high alert. They were observing their surroundings with high vigilance. The only reason they overlooked Xue Wei and his group was because they had no one as proficient in spiritual energy as Luoluo and Bai Tianyi.

Knowing that the group of people was heading straight for them, Xue Wei gestured for his friends to hide in the bushes and the tree crowns, and he too proceeded to hide himself in a place where he could not be seen.

By the time the group made it to their place, they were still on high alert, but they had not noticed Xue Wei and the others, as they had been shrouded by Luoluo and Bai Tianyi with spiritual energy.

They waited for the opportune moment, and just as they arrived in their midst, all of them jumped down, their attacks shining in the twilight, their eyes cold and murderous, and their lips curled into sinister smiles.

The Xiang experts were shocked beyond belief. Although they had been on high alert, they had not expected someone to jump at them like this.
