Chapter 541 - 541: Mystery Grade Lightfoot Skill (1)
” What kind of monster is this?!”
He Yun stood dozens of meters away from the protective film and looked at the three-meter-tall creature inside.
It was an insect-like creature with a small body but many long legs and thorns. It had dozens of narrow compound eyes, and when it stared at a person, it was very terrifying.
Even though he was so far away, He Yun still felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn’t help but take another step back.
However, he soon felt ashamed of his actions and stopped in his tracks.
” Damn it, come out if you have the ability!”
He Yun pointed at the monster and cursed.
The insect-like monster in the protective film stared at him expressionlessly for a moment before turning around and leaving silently.
“Hu ~~!”
Unknowingly, a drop of sweat trickled down He Yun’s forehead.
Although he knew that the monster could not leave the Tier 1 region, the confrontation just now still made him indescribably nervous.
“Fortunately, thanks to the protective film. Otherwise, I would definitely die if I encountered such a monster…”
Although he did not know who had brought them down, the outcome was good.
After the monster left, He Yun gradually recovered. He collected his emotions and turned to look in the direction he had escaped from.
Over there, Zhao Yu and the king-level monster outside the protective film had already disappeared without a trace.
” Hehe, Xiao Xiao Long, no matter what kind of ancient martial arts successor you are, you will definitely die this time!”
He Yun laughed coldly. Not to mention the fact that the King-level monsters outside the protective film would not stop until they killed him, just the Tier 1 normal monsters inside the protective film were enough to kill Xiao Xiao Long.
After laughing for a moment, He Yun ran back to the road he came from.
Not long after setting off, they encountered a group of people sneaking around.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the group of subordinates who had abandoned him earlier.
Both parties were taken aback upon seeing each other.
“What are you all doing here?!” He Yun asked, puzzled.
Xie Zheng and the others looked embarrassed but quickly responded, “Boss, we came to help…”
Help?!
He Yun quickly realized the truth.
These people weren’t here to help. They clearly wanted to see if he was dead. If he was, they planned to grab his first-tier coin and become the new overlord. “Hehe! Are you sure about it?”
He Yun chuckled softly, causing the group to scratch their heads in confusion.
However, he didn’t probe further or blame them. After all, he would have done the same. Besides, he still needed them for work.
He Yun shrugged and said, “I’m fine…”
Xie Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked, “Boss, what about that guy?”
“That guy is Xiao Xiao Long. He went towards the protective film…”
As He Yun spoke, he continued, “Send someone good at Lightfoot skill to track that king-level monster. I want to know Xiao Xiao Long’s death date!”
The king-level monster from the newbie area would only return once the ultimate fighter who had ventured back were killed, meaning that once the two-headed bull-snake beast returned to the newbie area, ‘Xiao Xiao Long’ would be dead.
“Xiao Xiao Long…”
The group muttered the name a few times, committing it to memory.
“Also…”
He Yun continued, “Send someone to the vicinity of the newbie area to look for Xiao Xiao Long’s accomplices. Report back as soon as you have any information!”
Xie Zheng was momentarily puzzled and asked, “Boss, what about the plan we had before?”
“Postpone it. Xiao Xiao Long has caused significant losses to Wang Feng Valley. How can we command respect if we don’t eliminate them?”
This made Xie Zheng feel a bit odd.
Originally, when several ultimate fighters from the Eight Desolations Alliance were killed or injured, He Yun had emphasized the bigger picture, suggesting they solve it themselves.
Why had he suddenly decided to mobilize for revenge, even postponing their plans to advance to the camp?
However, they didn’t dwell on it, assuming Xiao Xiao Long’s pursuit had embarrassed He Yun, fueling his desire for revenge.
Unbeknownst to them, for someone like He Yun, status or fame wasn’t as important as benefits.
In his view, the techniques Xiao Long possessed, the so-called insight Zhao Yu had fabricated, were crucial. If he could acquire them, he might reach a new level.
Not just settling in the camp, but even taking it over, seemed possible.
Thinking this, He Yun’s eyes sparkled with determination to capture the descendant of ancient martial arts.
North of the boundary road, a hidden location.
Ji Wu Shuang and others had regrouped with the main team, and Xiao Xiao Long and his team had already dealt with the monster lured from the newbie area.
With their help, they had even gained strength.
“Has Zhao Yu not returned yet?!”
Huo Li Juan stood at the edge of the base, gazing northward, murmuring.
Wang Zi Jun and others also felt dejected.
“Even Ji Wu Shuang and the others couldn’t withstand that king-level monster, what could Zhao Yu do by himself…”
“Shut up!”
“Hmm!!”
Everyone understanded that Zhao Yu was unlikely to return.
Several ultimate fighters, even when combined, couldn’t breach the defense of a king-level monster, let alone Zhao Yu.
The inevitable outcome seemed to be death.
“Wuuu—!”
Eventually, Huo Li Juan burst into tears.
However, Qu Xiao Xiao, on the other hand, felt an indescribable joy.
Even though Zhao Yu was her childhood friend, at this moment, seeing Huo Li Juan like this, she was quite pleased..
