"Hey, we're doomed! What do we do now? I knew I shouldn't have come here with you. I don't want to die!" Hu Lijin shouted in terror, trying to escape, but was held down by the two pangolins who had been so respectful to her just moments before!
"Let me go, you damned beasts! Let me go!" Hu Lijin struggled desperately, but she couldn't break free from the two pangolins!
"Hahaha... Look at us, this VIP is scared to death, and the other one looks like he's been scared out of his wits, standing there too scared to move, hahaha..." The silver-white pangolin had somehow returned to the middle of the training ground, pointing at Ru Huan and Hu Lijing and laughing loudly.
Having completely consumed the raging fire, the evil god looked at the silver-white pangolin in front of him and charged towards it with a series of thuds. He leaped up and smashed the pangolin's head down!
With a muffled thud, the evil god's more than five-meter-tall body flew backward and crashed heavily onto the training ground, curling up like a roasted lobster!
"Hahaha, how could our evil god companion be so easily defeated?" The silver-white pangolin laughed loudly as it looked at the evil god who couldn't stand up after being kicked by it.
"Alright, let's get down to business. The evil god is preparing to welcome our next challenger. Everyone, hurry up and place your bets! Don't miss this opportunity!" The silver-white pangolin finished speaking and disappeared into the middle of the training ground.
The evil god fought ten battles! All the defeated creatures were brutally destroyed by the evil god, and everyone felt that the evil god grew stronger and stronger after consuming the flesh and blood of these creatures!
"Now, the most exciting moment has arrived! The evil god has survived the tenth round, so what should we do next?" The silver-white pangolin asked, looking at the creatures around it.
"The lucky ones, the end; the lucky ones, the end!"
The sounds, like a tsunami, rose and fell, bringing about the fates of Ru Huan and Hu Lijing!
"Hahaha, you two lucky ones, did you hear that? Everyone's been waiting, right? Come down! The evil god can't wait any longer!" After the silver-white pangolin finished speaking, not far away, the evil god, with its blood-red eyes glaring, charged towards the silver-white pangolin once again!
A giant fist, accompanied by a whooshing sound, smashed towards the chest of the silver-white pangolin! The silver-white pangolin stretched out one hand and easily blocked both of the evil god's giant fists. Then, with a gentle push, the evil god involuntarily took more than ten steps back. Before the evil god could regain his footing, the pangolin lunged forward and punched the evil god in the abdomen!
The evil god was sent flying backward once more, then landed heavily on the ground dozens of meters away, motionless...
"Alright, you two lucky ones, come here. You see, the evil god isn't as scary as you think. Don't let us down!" The silver-white pangolin looked at Ru Huan and the others and said.
Four pangolins dragged Ru Huan and Hu Lijin, who was already paralyzed with fear, to the middle of the training ground.
"Is there anything else you want to say to these creatures? I feel that if you don't say it now, you'll never have another chance!" The silver-white pangolin asked Ru Huan and Hu Lijing with a smile.
"Please, please let us go! We'll never do it again!" Hu Lijin, already shrouded in the shadow of death, crawled over and knelt in front of the silvery-white pangolin, hugging its leg and pleading.
“I won’t play with you. You’ll have to beg him. If he takes a liking to you, he might spare your life, hahaha…” said the silver-white pangolin.
"And you, do you have any last words to say? For example, the password to your savings card, or how much property you have here?" the silver-white pangolin teased Ru Huan.
"When does it start that I bet on my wins, and I wager four hundred gold coins on myself?" Ru Huan said coldly, looking at the silver-white pangolin.
"Hush..." A series of hisses came from the surroundings, feeling that this human, who was not even as tall as the evil god's thigh, was really overestimating himself.
Ru Huan ignored the chorus of boos and simply stared coldly at the silvery-white pangolin.
"I hope you survive, then you'll become rich!" After saying this, the silvery-white pangolin vanished into thin air from the training ground.
"Please, don't go! I know I was wrong!" Hu Lijin lay there, wailing loudly.
The evil god slowly got up from the ground, then shook his almost deformed head in a daze. He staggered and swayed, spinning around a few times before seeing Hu Lijin still lying on the ground, wailing.
The evil god, clutching his lower abdomen, staggered toward Ru Huan and Hu Lijing!
Hu Lijin felt the ground beneath her tremble slightly, then she hurriedly rolled over and saw an evil god, who was about three times her height, walking towards her!
"No... don't come any closer, Hei Hei, we're really going to die this time!" Hu Lijing said to Ru Huan with a look of despair.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Ru Huan ignored Hu Lijing, who was terrified, and just stared intently at the approaching evil god.
Having grown accustomed to fighting a group of towering beings, the evil god was momentarily disoriented when suddenly encountering beings much smaller than himself.
The evil god approached Ru Huan with some confusion, then squatted down and observed her with curiosity.
A nauseating stench and a bloody smell that made it hard to open one's eyes filled the air around Ru Huan and her sense of smell. Hu Lijing saw the evil god glance at her, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted...
Just as Ru Huan and Xie Shen were staring at each other, Xie Shen's pupils, which were as big as fists, suddenly shrank. The student, who had just been a curious child, turned ferocious and swung his fists down hard at Ru Huan.
All living beings could already imagine that Ru Huan had been smashed into a pool of blood by the evil god's fists! The vibrations from the evil god's fists hitting the ground woke Hu Lijing from her unconscious state. Hu Lijing woke up in a daze and then saw a giant squatting in front of her!
"Ah..." Hu Lijing screamed, then jumped up and ran away!
The evil god behind her roared at Hu Lijin and then pounced on her!
Wherever the evil god passed, all living beings did not see the pool of blood left by Ru Huan after being smashed by the evil god, but instead saw an arrow stuck in the evil god's back! No one knows who committed this underhanded act, trying to kill both Ru Huan and the other person!
Just as the evil god pounced on Hu Lijin, he suddenly felt a huge mountain pressing down on his back!
With a loud bang, the evil god was slammed down. He was just a hair's breadth away from grabbing Hu Lijin with his hands, but he was just a tiny bit short!
The entire arena fell silent! Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene unfolding in the training ground: a tiny human was standing on the back of an evil god, who was struggling to lift himself up even with his hands on the ground!
"Ah..."! The evil god roared, trying with all his might to get up from the ground! The bones in the evil god's body cracked and popped, and his spine was about to give way, making a slight breaking sound, but he still couldn't get up!
Whoosh!
Another arrow shot towards Ru Huan's head!
Ru Huan reached out and grabbed the arrow that had been used to ambush her, then casually tossed it away! The arrow returned to the spot from which it had been shot!
On the training ground, another arrow was shot over, trying to shoot away the arrow that Ru Huan had thrown. The two arrows collided in mid-air!
"Boom"!
The ears and internal organs of all living beings felt as if they had been hit hard by an iron hammer. Their breath became blocked, their chests felt tight, and they almost lost their balance and fell over!
The arrow that Ru Huan threw directly shattered the arrow that was shooting at her into two pieces, and then continued to fly towards its target with undiminished power!
Whoosh whoosh!
Countless arrows came flying in one after another! They tried to stop the arrows that Ru Huan threw! But they were all knocked down by the arrows that Ru Huan threw.
"Pfft!" Immediately followed by a muffled groan!
A creature completely covered in protective clothing was struck in the head by an arrow shaft that was now only half intact! It then fell straight backward...
"Whoosh..." A commotion erupted among all living beings! Countless creatures looked at Ru Huan with fear, terrified that the last arrow shaft was gone. This mysterious creature had shot so many arrows to stop them, but in the end, it was Ru Huan who threw out the last remaining arrow shaft and killed it!
The evil god was still desperately trying to get up, but Ru Huan on his back was like a mountain pressing down on him, giving him no chance to get up at all.
"Hahaha... Did you see that? This is what strength is all about. This is what you call overwhelming strength. The evil god is too weak. Our VIP was subdued in one move. It seems we need to give it a little more excitement!" A silver-white pangolin suddenly appeared next to Ru Huan, standing on the evil god's back, shouting to the audience and then whistling.
The dozens of rhinoceroses surrounding the perimeter suddenly raised their heads and looked in unison at the center of the training ground. They then let out heavy breathing sounds, arched their bodies, and prepared to charge at Ru Huan and the others in the center of the training ground!
"The show is about to begin! Everyone, you can start betting! Some newcomers might not know what betting means. It means you can use gold, mystic gold, divine gold, or immortal gold to buy weapons. You can use them yourself or hire other companions to help the warrior you want to win in the training ground. That's what betting is. Are you all ready? Betting time begins now!" After the silver-white pangolin finished speaking, it vanished again!
Ru Huan felt countless acts of malice directed at her from all around, like countless needles pricking her body—it was murderous intent directed at her!
"Swish swish"!
Countless arrows shot in from all directions! Ru Huan, holding Hu Lijing, used the evil god as a shield in front of her!
In less than ten breaths, the evil god was riddled with arrows, resembling a hedgehog! Ru Huan brandished the evil god, now covered in arrows, and then forcefully threw it away!
A deafening roar!
The evil god, riddled with arrows, slammed heavily onto the viewing platform above! Instantly, it killed countless creatures wielding bows and arrows!
The evil god slowly rose, its fist-sized eyes bloodshot! It then unleashed a furious onslaught on the beings on the viewing platform! Countless creatures were smashed into a bloody pulp by the evil god! Chaos erupted above!
The evil god kills anything it sees! Anything that stands in its way is destroyed! In an instant, screams, cries, and curses mingled together in complete chaos...
The evil god's destruction did nothing to alleviate Ru Huan's pressure! Countless weapons of all kinds continued to rain down on Ru Huan as she pulled Hu Lijing through the rhinoceroses! Countless arrows and hidden arrows struck the rhinoceroses, but all fell to the ground; the rhinoceros hides were extremely tough!
"Boom!"
Ru Huan hurled more than a dozen rhinoceroses at her attackers like cannonballs!
"Moo!"
A dozen or so rhinoceroses were tossed high into the air and crashed down, immediately panicking and charging wildly! They smashed into the creatures that had been ambushing them, throwing them to the ground in chaos!
"Our dear guest..." Just as the silver-white pangolin appeared on the back of a rhinoceros and was about to speak, it suddenly felt a blur before its eyes. Before it could even try to hide, a warm hand grabbed its neck!
The silvery-white pangolin remained calm, silently raising its tail and poking at the back of Ruhuan's head! If it hit her, Ruhuan's head would explode on the spot!
Ru Huan clenched her other fist and punched the tail that was poking at her hard, but she still didn't let go of the hand that was holding the pangolin's neck!
With a loud "bang!"
The pangolin's tail collided violently with Ru Huan's fist, cracking the scales on its tail! The impact bounced back, slamming into a rhinoceros. The rhinoceros let out a miserable scream as it was swept in two!
Ru Huan and the pangolin moved with lightning speed. No matter how the pangolin fought back, Ru Huan's hand holding its neck held it firmly.
The pangolin was furious. What kind of treatment was this, having its neck grabbed like this? At the same time, it was terrified by the incredible strength of this seemingly small human! If it weren't for its scales protecting it, it might have been smashed to pieces by this human. But it was also in terrible shape. Every punch from this human pierced through its scales with terrifying force, like a heavy hammer hitting its bones. It felt like it was about to fall apart!
"I'm not fighting anymore, I'm not fighting anymore, you won, I admit defeat!" Blood was flowing from the silvery-white pangolin's mouth and nose. Its internal organs had been injured by Ru Huan. If this continued, it would be beaten to death by this human thug!
Ru Huan ignored the pangolin's pleas for mercy, grabbed the pangolin by the neck with one hand, and used the other hand to beat the pangolin's body with lightning speed.
"Stop!" A thunderous explosion rang out!
The entire arena of gladiators trembled with shock. The evil god ceased his slaughter, and the rhinoceroses prostrated themselves in fear. Only Ru Huan, in the middle of the arena, seemed not to have heard the sound at all and continued his great work of beating people!
"I told you to stop!" A pangolin descended from the sky and punched Ru Huan!
"roar"!
In an instant, the evil god appeared in front of Ru Huan and raised his fists to meet the ferocious pangolin!
"puff"!
The evil god suddenly shrank by half! Its original five-meter-tall body was now only a little over one meter tall! It was directly slammed into the ground of the training ground by the pangolin.
"This pangolin stood on the head of the unconscious evil god, its amber eyes fixed on Ru Huan."
"I won!" Ru Huan said coldly to the pangolin standing on the head of the evil god, holding the unconscious pangolin.
"So what if you win? I'm going to take your life now!" the pangolin said angrily.
"Is that so?" Ru Huan looked at the pangolin, and instantly teleported to the head of the evil god, swinging the pangolin in her hand, whose life or death was unknown, and smashed it down on the pangolin!
Ru Huan was using the pangolin in her hand as a weapon when she was killed by the pangolin in the training ground!
Hu Lijing slowly woke up and saw that the surrounding area was in a mess. Before she could understand what was happening, a group of pangolins crawled towards her! Hu Lijing screamed and tried to call for Ruhuan to help, but seeing that Ruhuan was fighting with another pangolin, she was too busy to help and could only run away.
Just when he had nowhere to run, a very tall shadow suddenly appeared behind him!
Hu Lijing turned her head and felt a chill in her heart. It was over. She was completely finished and doomed. She saw that the evil god had already gotten up from the ground and was behind Hu Lijing.
A group of pangolins, who were looking at the evil god behind Hu Lijing, suddenly stopped in their tracks and stared intently at Hu Lijing and the evil god.
"Huh?"
Hu Lijin found it strange. Weren't the evil god and these pangolins supposed to be allies? Why do they seem to be at odds now? Taking advantage of their current standoff, I'll make my escape!
Hu Lijing slowly moved her feet, then bypassed the evil god, preparing to escape, only to find that she and the evil god were surrounded by a group of pangolins! The entire training ground was filled with pangolins!
As Hu Lijin watched the dense swarm of pangolins rushing towards her, a wave of despair washed over her. She thought to herself, "Am I really going to die this time?"
"roar"!
The evil god roared as he watched the pangolins surge towards him, then grabbed Hu Lijin and charged towards the pangolin herd!
Hu Lijin stood on the evil god's shoulder, tightly gripping his earlobe, afraid of being jostled off.
The evil god grabbed a pangolin by the tail and swung it at another pangolin!
In an instant, countless pangolins were smashed away by the evil god, who then fought his way through the pangolin horde! He then led Hu Lijing away from the training ground...
Ru Huan and the pangolin were still fighting. The silver-white pangolin in her hand was already broken into pieces, half of which was smashed by Ru Huan and half of which was scratched by the pangolin!
"Why? Why are you all running dogs for those villains? We've lived here for generations, and they come and try to drive us away! If we leave, we'll be homeless. Where can we go? They can't kill us, so they send you dogs to bite us. What have we done wrong? We just want to protect our home and live a peaceful life. Are we wrong?" The pangolin roared in fury. It was dying, and it would be fine if it died, but it had so many offspring. It couldn't let them be homeless and wander aimlessly!
Ru Huan stopped what she was doing and then looked coldly at the pangolin, unsure whether what he said was true or false, and she had to think it over.
"Roar!" Just then, the evil god roared at the pangolin and then appeared behind Ru Huan.
"Hey, save me!" Hu Lijin cried out, trembling as she stood on the evil god's shoulder.
“Don’t be afraid, it won’t hurt you. It can protect you if you’re with it!” Ru Huan said.
"Roar!" The evil god turned around and roared at Hu Lijin, scaring her so much that she almost fell off the evil god's shoulder!
"I don't know if what you're saying is true or false, but now that I've accepted this task, I have to see it through to the end, otherwise I won't be able to pay the agency's penalty fee!" Ru Huan said.
"Hahaha... you've been fooled by them. Do you know why this fox is determined to follow you no matter what?" Pangolin asked, pointing at Hu Lijin on the evil god's shoulder.
“We are companions!” Ru Huan replied.
"Hahaha... comrades? They might not be thinking that way. They're planning to wait until we kill you, then take your body back here to collect your compensation. Am I right?" The pangolin asked, looking at Hu Lijin on the evil god's shoulder.
"You...you're talking nonsense! I'm not after Heihei's compensation money. I genuinely came to help her!" Hu Lijin argued somewhat weakly.
"Stop pretending. You've taken countless corpses from me already. I never expected you'd bring back such a formidable character this time. Right now, don't you secretly wish this human would kill me and subdue the entire Chuanyun Mountain so you could get a huge reward?" This pangolin directly exposed Hu Lijin's true colors.
"Is what it says true?" Ru Huan turned to look at Hu Lijing and asked.
"Yes! What it said is true. I also need to eat, I also need to survive, otherwise how could I have survived until now?" Hu Lijin confessed directly.
"You'd better tell me the truth about how much it cost to recapture Chuanyun Mountain!" Ru Huan said to Hu Lijing.
“One…one thousand divine gold,” Hu Lijin stammered.
"My Cloud Piercing Mountain is only worth a thousand divine gold coins? Little fox, don't be too greedy as a fox, or you'll have to pay the price sooner or later!" The pangolin said to Hu Lijin with a forced smile.
"So what? You won't be able to keep this up for long anyway!" Hu Lijin changed her previous fearful demeanor and looked at everyone with her head held high.
"What do you mean?" Ru Huan asked, frowning.
"Everyone knows that pangolin scales are impervious to water and fire, swords and spears, and can even be said to be immune to all kinds of magic, but they have a very fatal weakness, and everyone has the same one. Do you know what it is?" Hu Lijin took out a fist-sized porcelain bottle from her body and asked the crowd.
"Little fox, I advise you not to act rashly, or I will kill you even if it costs me my life!" The pangolin said with a look of horror as it looked at the porcelain bottle in Hu Lijin's hand.
"Fine, all of you pangolins, get out of Chuanyun Mountain and I might spare your lives. Otherwise, none of you will escape!" Hu Lijin's face was ruthless, and all traces of her previous weakness had vanished.
"Impossible! We've lived here for generations, where do you want us to go?" The pangolin immediately refused.
"Then you and your ancestors can all be buried here!" After saying that, Hu Lijin opened the porcelain bottle in her hand, then squeezed it hard, and the bottle shattered, with a cloud of white powder scattering in all directions!
"Oh no, this is... this is plague poison! What a poisonous little beast!" The pangolin was terrified. It was about to grab Hu Lijin to get the antidote when it realized that Hu Lijin had already disappeared in a few leaps!
"It's all over, the entire Cloud Piercing Mountain is doomed!" The pangolin let out a mournful cry, ignoring Ru Huan, and started running outside...
"Cough cough cough..."
The entire Chuanyun Mountain was filled with heart-wrenching coughs. Countless creatures were on the verge of death, and countless others had already perished. The entire Chuanyun Mountain was now deathly still. Countless creatures began to flee, but they were all killed by the creatures brought by Hu Lijin who were guarding outside.
Ru Huan frowned as she looked around at the countless terminally ill beings, watching their lives slowly slip away until they became cold corpses, while she herself showed no signs of poisoning!
"Please, save our Chuanyun Mountain! We'll give you anything you want, as long as you let my descendants live!" The pangolin looked at Ruhuan with a pleading expression.
"I can save you, but you will have to be my spirit servants from now on, and you must never betray me for generations to come!" Ru Huan said, looking at the pangolin.
"This..." The pangolin hesitated. If it wanted to live, it would be enslaved; if it didn't want to be enslaved, it would die. It couldn't possibly plunge its entire lineage into eternal damnation with just a word.
"I'm not taking advantage of your misfortune, and you don't have to agree, but I'm determined to have this Cloud Piercing Mountain. No matter what kind of pioneers or people from the brokerage firm come here in the future, as long as I'm here, they won't be able to take Cloud Piercing Mountain away!" Ru Huan said.
"There are plenty of people in this world who are better than you. Don't be so arrogant!" The pangolin couldn't stand it anymore and said directly.
"Whether you're arrogant or not, you'll find out later. Now, let me ask you one more question: do you want to die or are you prepared to submit to me? If you want to die, then wait here for your death. If you want to submit to me, here is a poison. Once you take it, you will be my spirit servant, and no living being will dare to run wild here!" Ru Huan said coldly.
"Alright! I'll risk it all!" The pangolin gritted its teeth and swallowed the poison that Ru Huan handed it to it in one gulp! So that its offspring and grandchildren could survive.
A slightly warm liquid slid from the pangolin's throat into its stomach, making its entire stomach feel like it was on fire, extremely hot.
Countless burning sensations extended towards the pangolin's eight extraordinary meridians, rapidly improving its internal organs and limbs!
The pangolin was both surprised and in pain. It was surprised that the poison Ru Huan had given it seemed to have made it countless times stronger! It was in pain because it felt like its entire body was about to be burned away, and its originally grayish-white scales were now slowly turning purplish-red!
His previously listless body suddenly returned to its former peak condition! Even stronger than before!
"Thank you, Master, for the medicine. From now on, this old servant will go through fire and water for you without hesitation!" the pangolin said, crawling on the ground.
"Alright, hurry up and save your descendants. Just let them drink your blood, just two or three drops will do. I still have things for you to do when you come back!" Ru Huan said.
"Okay! Master, I'll be right back!" The pangolin transformed into a whirlwind and left...
After the pangolin ate the spirit pearl given to it by Ru Huan, Ru Huan suddenly learned a lot about the Heavenly Court from this pangolin. As the pangolin's blood was passed on to its offspring, its knowledge increased more and more...
"Thank you so much, Master, for saving our lives! All the pangolins of Chuanyun Mountain are willing to go through fire and water for you, and follow your lead without hesitation!" Before Ruhuan lay countless pangolins, stretching as far as the eye could see...
"More than a month has passed. Almost everyone inside should be dead. Send a few in to scout and see if there are any survivors," Hu Lijin said, standing a dozen miles away from Chuanyun Mountain, looking at the towering mountain that seemed to pierce the clouds. She began to give instructions to the creatures around her.
"Yes, Master!" A creature that looked like a wolf called out to several other creatures beside him, and they headed towards Chuanyun Mountain...
"Master, they're back!" Wolf Walk said as he approached Hu Lijing.
"How is it inside?" Hu Lijin asked anxiously.
"They say there are no living creatures left inside. These are their memory stones, please take a look!" Wolf Walk handed several memory stones to Hu Lijin.
Hu Lijing watched the images inside the memory stone countless times, as if looking for something she thought was unreasonable, but after watching it several times, she couldn't find any flaws!
The footage showed that the entire Chuanyun Mountain was covered with countless corpses, and swarms of flies buzzed around everywhere because of his subordinates.
At the foot of Chuanyun Mountain, countless corpses lay outside, seemingly trying to escape but failing. Then came the scene inside Chuanyun Mountain, filled with pangolin carcasses!
Only when she arrived at the place she had been instructed to go, and saw a corpse she knew all too well lying not far from the training ground, did Hu Lijing finally feel relieved.
“Tell them that whoever gets what’s inside owns it, but they can’t damage it. I’m going to turn this place into a resort!” Hu Lijin said.
"Thank you for the gift, Master!" Wolf said quickly.
"Go ahead and clean it thoroughly, make sure there's no unpleasant smell!" Hu Lijin said.
"Good!" Wolf Walk bowed to Hu Lijin, then eagerly led his horde of creatures forward in a flurry of howls and wails...
"Jiang Heihei, are you really dead?" Hu Lijing murmured to herself, looking at the images lingering in the memory stone and at Ru Huan's corpse.
"Brothers! The master said we can take whatever we want from inside, but we can't break anything we can't take. Otherwise, if the master gets angry, we'll all be in big trouble!" Wolf said to his group of creatures.
"Awooo..." All living beings howled like ghosts, and then began to clear away the corpses outside and those at the cave entrance...
Wolf Walker and his gang didn't search for anything at all; they only looked for usable money such as gold storage cards and divine gold in those caves. They didn't dare to touch anything else.
"This is really weird. With so many living beings, how come we have so few stored-value cards and money after searching?" The creatures of the Wolf Walk were puzzled.
"They should all be hidden on their person. Besides, when you go to a hotel and want to go out and have fun, you should put the money and savings card in the cave."
"That's right, let's go, let's go take a look before we set these corpses on fire!"
A group of creatures rushed toward the pile of corpses, afraid that if they were too slow, their companions would get there first.
A group of creatures endured the stench and began sifting through the foul-smelling corpses, eventually unearthing countless gold cards and coins.
A pig-like creature was rummaging through a pangolin carcass and discovered that the pangolin's forepaws were gripping something.
This pig-like creature was very excited. It must be very valuable, otherwise the pangolin wouldn't have clung to it so tightly even as it died.
This pig-like creature looked around warily and saw its companions rummaging through the carcass. It slowly dragged the pangolin's carcass to a place where no one could see it...
“Brother! You’re already dead, why are you still clinging to this possession? You might as well give it to someone who needs it, like someone like me, I really need it! Let go, I’ll take good care of it,” the pig-like creature muttered incoherently as it pried at the pangolin’s carcass.
"Huh? That grip is damn tight! I've been trying for ages and still can't get it off. Looks like I'll have to use ruthless methods. Brother, don't blame me for being heartless," the pig-like creature said, pulling out a short knife to cut off the front paws of the pangolin carcass.
Just as the creature raised its knife to strike, the pangolin's carcass suddenly released its grip, and a golden bead rolled to the ground.
"Tsk tsk tsk... What a treasure!" The pig-like creature held up the bead and exclaimed in admiration. Then, it looked around very warily before carefully putting the bead into its pocket...
"Alright, that's about enough. Everyone, hurry up and dig holes to bury all these corpses." Wolfwalker saw that they had searched enough and then prepared to bury all the piles of corpses.
"Boss, wouldn't it be easier to just burn them? Why bury them? With so many corpses, how big of a pit would we have to dig to bury them all?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Our master said there can't be even the slightest odor here, understand? Not even the slightest! Hurry up and dig with me, or I'll dig a hole and bury you right now!" Wolf said to his companion.
A group of creatures began digging a pit at the foot of Chuanyun Mountain. Wolf Walk, holding the memory stone, started to wander around, trying to memorize everything that happened there before handing it over to his master...
Four hours later,
These creatures finally dug the first pit, which was more than ten meters deep and twenty meters wide, and then began to move the corpses into the pit...
The same thing happened the next day. Although these creatures were somewhat unwilling, the thought of the treasures and money on their bodies lessened their resentment.
"Hmm, very good. You guys dig the hole here first. I'll go ask our master what other changes we need. You guys work hard. If you haven't finished by the time our master and I get here, you'll know what fear is!" Wolf said to his companions, then went to find his master to claim credit...
"Hmph! All he does is suck up. We're working ourselves to the bone here, and when the master comes, all the credit goes to him, as if none of us did anything!"
"You don't know anything. That's called effective leadership, unlike you who's like a toad all day long, jumping around and scrambling, sometimes even if your asshole is ripped apart, you still don't want to jump."
"Who the hell are you calling a toad? You're the toad, your whole family are toads!"
"What have we toads done to offend you two idiots? Are you trying to cause trouble?" one of the toads asked, looking at the two creatures with an unfriendly expression.
"Oh, do I even need to say it? Those two just use you to disgust them because they think you're ugly!" Another one was fanning the flames and lighting will-o'-the-wisps nearby!
"Hey, hey, hey... don't talk nonsense. We just... we just borrowed Brother Toad's name to insult the other party. We didn't mean anything by it," the two creatures quickly explained.
"Hehe! Then why don't you use cats or dogs to disgust him? Why do you have to use our toad brother to disgust him? It shows that you two both look down on our toad brother!"
"Fuck you! I'll kill you two bastards!" The toad let out a strange cry and leaped towards the two arguing creatures.
Suddenly, all the creatures stopped digging the pit and carrying the corpse, and all watched as the toad fought with the two creatures, while the other creatures cheered them on...
"Master, look, this is how I disposed of these creatures' corpses. I had my brothers dig a pit and then threw all the corpses in..." Wolf Walker said incessantly as he showed the memory stone to Hu Lijing.
"Where are the other corpses?" Hu Lijin frowned and asked, looking at the memory stone in her hand, which contained neither Ru Huan's corpse nor the gray-white pangolin's corpse.
"Master, they should be in the last pile of corpses. The last pile of corpses was the one that was carried out from Chuanyun Mountain," Wolf Walk explained.
"Very good! Hurry up and tidy up Chuanyun Mountain. I'm going to hold a large exchange meeting here. Countless pioneers and intermediary creatures will be attending, so you must not embarrass me, understand?"
"Don't worry, Master, we will definitely complete the mission according to your instructions!" Wolf said, patting his chest.
"That's good. You've all worked hard these past few days. This is a reward for their hard work. If they do a good job, I'll give you a separate bonus!" Hu Lijin said.
"Yes, yes, I thank you, Master, on behalf of my brothers," Wolf said, deeply moved.
"Alright, go ahead and get busy. Remember, I need to see Jiang Heihei and the old pangolin's corpses found, and then prepare to burn them!" Hu Lijin said.
