Chapter 69 Whose Responsibility

"No, Yun Xiang reminded me, and I just remembered it." Jin Die scratched her hair embarrassedly. She had accidentally glanced at it before, but didn't take it to heart, and didn't think about it for a while.

"Are you still going to do it? I think you should just wait at Qianli Wangjiangnan." It would be better to let Bai Yan die than to let her gang get the advantage.

"No need, let's follow our plan. They must kill the mutant spotted-faced tiger before they come. I looked at the map and our team is closest to the desert. What we have to do now is to race against time. You set off now, and I will guard here." Yun Xiang thought about it and felt that it would be safer to guard here.

"Okay, then be careful!" Lin Ziyu took the others away, and Bai Yan was also pulled away by her.

Yun Xiang prepared the talismans he needed, climbed up a nearby tree and hid there, waiting for someone to come.

"Route, how long will it take to get there?" Bai Mingyang didn't expect that he would have such good luck.

"Unfortunately, we have to go to the desert and kill the mutant spotted-faced tiger first."

"What a trouble!" Bai Mingyang was impatiently whipping around with a branch. His subordinates (he had to bring his subordinates with him wherever he went, because his life was the most valuable, a complaint from Lin Ziyu) didn't dare to try to persuade him. 'Plop', a mutant little snake fell from the tree, giving everyone a false alarm.

"What's there to worry about?" Bai Mingyang said unhappily, "What can happen in this broken forest!" It's been almost a whole day, and not even a ghost has been seen.

Zhao Jun was dissatisfied. Who was it that led everyone to wander aimlessly in the woods all day?

“Snap!”

"Snap!" Bai Mingyang whipped the little snakes off one by one. As he was whipping, this guy actually became very excited and rushed forward alone, which made life difficult for those who were protecting him. Soon, they were sweating profusely.

"Chirp—" One person touched his face and unconsciously looked up at the sky, "Brother Lu, something seems wrong with the sky."

"What's wrong with the sky?" Bai Mingyang glanced at it nonchalantly. "Don't be suspicious. Let's get on with our journey."

Bai Mingyang threw away the branch in his hand, and the young master's fun was finally over.

"Oh!" The man stopped talking.

"Swish!" The man felt something behind him and turned around quickly, only to see branches swaying left and right, but nothing was there. He rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things.

"Li Long, what are you doing? Hurry up and leave! Otherwise the young master will be angry again!"

"Oh! Feng Ping, I feel something behind me."

"What?" Feng Ping looked back, "No, are you suffering from heatstroke?"

"..." The awakened one suffered from heatstroke? Stop making a fool of yourself, Li Long was completely speechless.

"Puff puff..." At some point, the little snakes behind Bai Mingyang and the others disappeared one after another, and the people in front didn't even notice anything.

"Ah--" Li Long's head was caught by a sharp mouth. He struggled hard and fought back with all his strength, but was still swallowed whole. He was unable to cry for help until his death.

"Li Long, Li Long...that brat!" Feng Ping smiled bitterly and turned back to look for Li Long. Eh? Kite?

Hey, how blind is this person! It's... it's a mutant snake eagle!

Fright! Feng Ping gasped, finally reacting, but he had already missed his chance to escape. The mutant snake eagle's thick, powerful toes firmly grasped his shoulders, its sharp beak clamped around his head, and to maintain balance, it spread its wings wide to support itself on the ground.

Feng Ping used all his strength, twisting and kicking frantically, trying to break free from its control. The snake eagle looked very calm and unhurried. It kept biting his mouth and holding him with its wings. Feng Ping gradually became exhausted and lost the ability to resist and was swallowed by the snake eagle.

After swallowing Feng Ping, the snake eagle continued to puff out its chest and raise its head towards the sun, staring at the sun with a dull gaze for a moment before continuing to look for its next prey. In this way, the snake eagle quietly killed one subordinate after another.

While walking along the path, I would suddenly stop and carefully observe the surrounding environment, but every time I turned around, the snake eagle had just swallowed one, so I didn't notice it along the way.

"Luotu, be careful!" Lutu rolled on the ground to avoid the sneak attack.

"This...what's going on?" Bai Mingyang widened his eyes and watched his follower being swallowed by the snake eagle.

"Suddenly..."

"Hu Liu..." The snake eagle let out a loud cry, circled up, and stopped in mid-air, looking down at Bai Mingyang and the other two.

Bai Mingyang still can't figure out why only three of his twenty or so companions are left: him, Lu Dao and Zhao Jun.

"Luolu, what's going on?" Lulu's face was heavy with sorrow. "The mutant snake eagle feeds on snakes. It's all my fault. I didn't notice when the snake disappeared. I thought it had disappeared into the forest."

"Damn it, aren't you a military strategist? How could you not have thought of this? So many people died for nothing, how are we going to proceed with the next plan!" Bai Mingyang's face turned ashen.

"Plan? What a bullshit plan!" Zhao Jun completely exploded, grabbing Bai Mingyang by the collar, "It's all because of your greed that you went after Qianli Wangjiangnan, causing your brothers to die in vain."

"Zhao Jun!"

"Luo Lu, don't stop me. I've wanted to deal with this bastard for a long time!" Zhao Jun pushed Lu Lu away.

Lu Dao couldn't try to persuade him with all his heart, as there was a snake eagle in the sky that was lurking around and he needed to be on guard against it.

"You...you are a servant!"

"Servant? Bah! This is the interstellar age, where strength is paramount. You're not even worthy of carrying my shoes! Forget about anything else, just take today's incident. If you hadn't hit the tree with that broken branch, how would the snake have fallen? And how would you have attracted the snake eagle?"

"..." Bai Mingyang was speechless. He had spoken so loudly just now to hide his guilty conscience.

Zhao Jun was clearly not finished yet. "If you wanted to strike, then strike till the end. You stopped halfway, and now the snake eagle has no snakes to eat, so it's eating people! You bastard, you're hurting others and yourself, you deserve a bad death!"

"Let's see who dies first!" Bai Mingyang had a bad temper to begin with, and after being provoked by this, he exploded and wanted to clean up the mess.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" The snake eagle in the air was delighted to see the scene.

Lu Xian pulled Bai Mingyang over and said, "Young Master, calm down! Zhao Jun, say less. We are all sad that our brother is gone, but now there are only three of us left, so we should unite as a group, otherwise we will all die under this snake eagle." Lu Xian looked helpless.

Zhao Jun clenched his fist, withdrew his resisting hand, and took the lead in compromise.

"Hmph!" Bai Mingyang shrugged off the path, twisted his body and said nothing. It was rare to see Bai Mingyang acting so wrong.

Seeing that there was no fun to watch and its stomach was full, the snake eagle flew away unsteadily, leaving the three people alive for the time being.

The three of them were stunned for a moment.

"Should we still go find Bai Yan now?" Lu asked Bai Mingyang for his opinion.

“No!”

"Go!" Bai Mingyang insisted, but Zhao Jun objected. "What's the route you want to take?"

"I suggest you go. Don't worry, listen to me. Firstly, it's too dangerous for the three of us to team up. Secondly, we can help Bai Yan. She provided us with the information about Qianli Wangjiangnan with good intentions."

"Haha!" Zhao Jun sneered and stopped objecting.
