Chapter 540: Pretending to be a Pig?! (1/2)

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaofei’s group hiding in the shadows came out.

With Sima Ye’s scouting ability, they could be said to hold a great advantage, or else Xiong Shou wouldn’t have had the chance to ambush a King Rank magical beast, without which the current situation wouldn’t be possible.

Precisely. Even someone as tough as Xiong Shou could only use ambush – normally considered a disgraceful means – when facing King Rank magical beasts. Otherwise, allowing a King Rank beast to self-detonate would have consequences beyond imagination.

“This is the third one. At this rate, our points will be stable at the top ranks.” Chu Tianyi had a big smile on his face as if he already saw the bountiful reward waving to him.

“Don’t overthink. Sima Yi is not the only one who has scouting abilities, and Master Xiong Shou is not the strongest among our alumni,” Bai Xiaofei poured cold water, shattering Chu Tianyi’s daydream.

Bai Xiaofei didn’t lower his voice, so Xiong Shou obviously overheard his conversation with Chu Tianyi, but besides a cold snort, he didn’t refute. Not because of their agreement from the previous confrontation, but because what Bai Xiaofei said was true.

Xiong Shou dared to fight any Exquisite Rank in a 1v1 duel, but when it came to this type of ambush stuff, he was not an expert. After all, his Bloodthirsty Strike wasn’t a sure KO hit, so he only dared to use it on magical beasts around the beginning of the King Rank, but the other alumni were different.

“Rest here for a while. These surroundings should be the activity area of this King Rank beast, so there won’t be any intrusion from other beasts in a while.” Xiong Shou’s cold voice still took a commanding tone.

Even until now, he still hadn’t come out from the mental state of a mercenary group leader, and it looked like he had no intention to either from this established status. Who told him to be so formidable, right?

This time, Bai Xiaofei actually obeyed, but he only found an area to rest for himself and Luo Han. Fei Gou alone was enough for harvesting the materials from the beast corpse.

“You seem to have something on your mind?” Sitting beside Bai Xiaofei, Luo Han keenly felt a hint of anxiety.

“You can say so, yeah.” Bai Xiaofei sighed softly. He didn’t intend to hide anything from Luo Han.

Chu Tianyi nearby hurriedly perked up his ears. He now attached great importance to whatever Bai Xiaofei said. He had known nothing before, but after signing the labor contract, Chu Tianyi had found that his nominal boss was perverse!

“Do you want to talk about it?” asked Luo Han softly, wanting to help him lighten his burden.

‘Demon star makes appearance,’ does this ‘demon star’ refer to magical beasts? But if they’re going to do something, why haven’t they moved yet? Could it be that they are waiting for something?

A series of questions spun in Bai Xiaofei’s mind, giving him a headache. Calm was not always a good thing. This kind of calm before the storm was always the most suffocating oppression.

However, this oppression did not last long…

After implementing safety measures, the group fell into a deep sleep. As the sentry, Fei Gou stayed guard nervously in a dark spot and carefully monitored the surroundings.

Little did he expect that the danger would come from within!
