Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 854: Wolf In Tiger\'s Lair (1)

Less than three seconds later, the air warped as a figure appeared. With a smile, the newcomer said, "What a cautious kid. Interesting."

After a short while, the previous mysterious person returned. It was actually a youth with a mask. He softly asked, "Elder, is he gone?"

"Yeah." The elder said, "He\'s too sharp. Interesting. Let\'s place him in the index. There are 360 spots in the Yellow Index. He can have the 360th spot."

"Yes." The youth answered before asking, "Did he discover you, Elder?"

"Perhaps." The elder said, "A weaponsmith...how interesting. He\'s even someone from Great Ming. Ahhh...it has been many years since Great Ming did anything big."

After saying that, he grabbed the masked youth and vanished into thin air. Not long after, a group of armored soldiers arrived. They were clad in black armor and black helmets. The leader scanned the area with his cold eyes before snorting.

"Useless garbage, the lot of you!"

Beside him, his deputy asked gloomily, "General, are they from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion?"

"They\'re from the Four Index Department. Looks like they\'re here to verify Cui Lang\'s strength." The general coldly said, "Continue the pursuit. How dare they operate in the eastern sector. We\'ll kill every last one of them!"

"Yes!"

The group of soldiers proceeded to vanish into thin air as well. Every single one of them was a powerful cultivator. There were multiple Mountainseas in the group, with the general and his deputy being Sunmoons. This was the group tasked with hunting Heavenly Hunt Pavilion members in the eastern sector.

Meanwhile, Su Yu, who had escaped far away, wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Fuck!

What the hell was that? Were Sunmoons so common nowadays?

Why would a Sunmoon appear right as he decided to tail a random individual? Good thing he was cautious enough to flee immediately. It also seemed like even more experts had arrived after that. If it wasn\'t for those experts distracting the Sunmoon, he could very well end up caught.

All his excitement at the prospect of killing to his heart\'s content had vanished.

Fine, fine. It was still not the time to strut around arrogantly yet. This damn Allheaven Battlefield was way too dangerous. A Sunmoon could be encountered so easily. Holy shit. People used to tell him that Sunmoons were very rare even on the Allheaven Battlefield.

Why would he encounter one not long after leaving the city? Su Yu could still feel some lingering fear in his heart. It would seem like survival was impossible here without some ability.

Fine, fine. Let\'s keep a low profile.

Having made his choice, Su Yu changed into green robes. White robes were too eye-catching. Green robes were much more subdued in comparison. He then moved forward to look for his earthdragon.

But when he arrived, an odd expression covered his face as he cursed, "Why are people stealing something like an earthdragon? And why in the world did the thief take only a single leg? Was that someone who has never tried earthdragon drumsticks before?"

What was this? The earthdragon before him had one leg missing. More importantly, the stump had been treated, so the earthdragon was actually still alive. But could an earthdragon with only three legs still act as a mount?

Su Yu might be cursing, but he was also on alert. He hadn\'t even been separated from his earthdragon for long, but a leg was already missing. Why did he feel like danger was everywhere in the Allheaven Battlefield? What a dangerous place.

Su Yu decided to keep an even lower profile than before. He took out a cloak and covered his face with it before vanishing into thin air, leaving the earthdragon behind.

Fine, fine.

He didn\'t know who the culprit was, but he could see that the culprit was definitely not weak. He had to be careful.

***

At the same time.

Several kilometers away, a man and a woman met. Both of them were extremely young. The man was walking over with a large earthdragon leg resting over his shoulder. With a smile, he said, "I found food. Some idiot left an earthdragon alone in the wilderness. I took the chance to remove one of the legs from the earthdragon. Let\'s try it out."

The woman glanced at the man expressionlessly and said, "Idiot."

"Idiot?" The young man said, "How am I an idiot? I was hungry so I removed a leg from an ownerless earthdragon. What\'s the problem with that? The eastern sector has been rather chaotic recently. I even saw the Evilrid Army earlier. I wonder if they\'re hunting some Heavenly Hunt Pavilion members or some other people."

"Evilrid Army?" The young woman exclaimed in surprise, "Near us? Are there Heavenly Hunt Pavilion members nearby? Are they here to kill us?"

"How am I supposed to know?"

The young man started roasting the earthdragon leg as he said, "Old Wu..."

"Hmph!" The woman snorted coldly.

The man did not seem to mind. He continued roasting the earthdragon leg while saying, "Old Wu, are those fellows too afraid to attack you with me around? Maybe I can pull far away from you? I feel like I\'m going to break through soon. Maybe you can lure a few geniuses over for me to kill?"

"Huang Teng!"

The woman was none other than Wu Qi. She furiously said, "Get lost. Get as far away from me as possible. Stop following me. You\'re too annoying."

Huang Teng!

He actually looked quite ordinary. He did not look as domineering as one would think from his reputation. In fact, he looked like a normal kid you could get as a neighbor. He laughed and said, "I\'m not following you at all. We merely met each other through sheer coincidence. Since we\'re both from Great Xia, I need to give you some protection. After all, your name is in the Heavenly Hunt Index as well."

"Get lost!"

"You sure are rude." Huang Teng started adding some condiments on the earthdragon leg he was roasting. With a smile, he said, "I\'ll leave after this meal. Be careful. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion people might be around. Try to not go further than the frontlines for now. Some devils are looking for you."

"Do you think I\'m scared of them?" Wu Qi sneered and said, "That\'s not a bad thing. I can kill them and increase my ranking in the index."

"Looks like your body has focused a tad bit too much on growing your long hair instead of your brain."

Huang Teng shook his head, "Even someone from the original devil race is looking for you. That person can easily defeat you. Do you really think that you\'re a war god?"

Wu Qi sat down cross-legged and ignored him. As for Huang Teng, he crouched down with one foot in front and the other foot at the back, looking like he was getting ready for a sprint.

Wu Qi did not seem to care about that. Cultural researchers and warriors fought differently. This wasn\'t too surprising to see.

When Huang Teng was done roasting the earthdragon leg, he tossed a piece of roasted meat over. Wu Qi did not reject it. Nor did she care about the fact that the leg had not been washed before the roasting. She didn\'t even care about the taste. After taking a bite, she asked, "Huang Teng, you have been following me for two days. What is the meaning of this? Don\'t bother saying that you\'re protecting me."

Huang Teng did not answer the question immediately. He wiped his mouth with his dirty battle robe and continued eating. While chewing on the meat, he said, "There is no special meaning behind that. Someone is really targeting you. Just go back. The elder brother of the devil you killed back then is here for you. He declared that he would not spare you."

Wu Qi laughed and said, "I\'ll be waiting for him. I can definitely get a heavenly reward from killing him. It would be interesting if I received a natural character after killing him."

"My father said that women should stay at home and take care of their children. Why are you insisting on entering the battlefield? Someone like you won\'t be able to find a husband."

"..."

Wu Qi shot Huang Teng a cold glance and said, "Huang Teng, you only have the guts to say these words in front of me."

"Nope." Huang Teng\'s oily lips curved into a huge grin as he said, "I said the same thing many times before. Previously, I said the same thing to Deputy General Zhang. She beat me up because of that, but I didn\'t change my mind."

The deputy general of the Devil Subduing Army was a woman. A very ferocious woman. Wu Qi did not feel like talking to him anymore. After finishing her food, she stood up to leave.

Huang Teng hurriedly followed her. She looked at him and coldly said, "Get lost already. Huang Teng, don\'t create trouble for yourself."

She snorted and added, "I\'m not a piece of trash like Bai Feng. If you dare to keep following me, I won\'t show any mercy to you."

"Bai Feng isn\'t that bad." Huang Teng said, "He\'s really quite capable. Unfortunately, he has way too many interests. If he had focused only on combat, he would be much stronger. Unfortunately, he insisted on research, slowing his own growth. Otherwise, he might be even stronger than you."

Wu Qi ignored him and flew into the sky.

Huang Teng shook his head and said, "I\'m not kidding. Someone is really coming after you. That fellow is very strong. He\'s already a ninth-stage Cloudbreach. You won\'t be his match. Woman, why are you so stubborn?"

After saying that, he flew after Wu Qi.
