Chapter 98 and Chapter 99 have arrived!

  "Unbelievable, you bunch of scoundrels, how dare you sully my mother! Since that's the case, my mutated blood scales will be fully unleashed. As for you, prepare to meet your maker!" Chai Shuang said sternly, having clearly observed the abilities of Xiao Hong and the others earlier, not a single one of them was at the taker level.

  Although he didn't know how Xiao Hong had just done that, Chai Shuang knew that the move Xiao Hong had just released required a long time to prepare and seemed to have exhausted Xiao Hong's energy.

  With this idea, Chai Shuang didn't show any mercy, accelerating and randomly charging towards Yan Nan who had just insulted her. It can be said that so far, Yan Nan is the first person to dare speak disrespectfully to her.

  In the blink of an eye, Chai Frost appeared in front of Yan Nan, with red light dots already appearing at the tips of his five fingers. Every move would form a red thread, which was exactly what had been used to cut off the dragon's escape earlier, extremely sharp.

  If he were cut by this red energy thread, Yan Nan would definitely die.

  However, just as Chai Shuang was about to deliver the fatal blow to Yan Nan, a purple thorny vine suddenly swept over Yan Nan's head and struck Chai Shuang diagonally.

  As for this scene, Chai Shuang naturally had a reflection, but on his face, he flashed a faint disdain, quickly waving his right hand, and sending out five energy threads to intercept the purple thorny vines.

  Boom!

  A dull thud later, Chai Shuang, who was originally prepared to intercept the thorny vines and change targets to launch an attack on Xiao Hong, suddenly found that the two energies collided and did not completely cancel out the purple thorny vines, which still carried a fierce attack towards Chai Shuang.

  "This... how can this be?" Just as he discovered something was off, Chai Meng's expression changed in an instant. Although Jing Tong looked extremely weak, it was already too late to hide.

  Bang!

  The next moment, accompanied by this crisp sound, the thorny vine that had been largely drained of its energy suddenly whipped across Chai Feng's shoulder, instantly pulling him several meters away and sending him tumbling to the ground.

  However, thanks to the protection of his expensive leather armor, and with most of the energy from the thorny vines being dissipated, Chai Feng quickly got back up after rolling on the ground. A long tear mark appeared on the shoulder armor.

  "You dare to attack me, it seems you're tired of living." Chai Shuang gazed coldly at Xiao Hong, her expression filled with anger. Then she turned her gaze to the two companions and ordered: "You two, come with me and let's take down these five insolent rascals."

  Don't look at Chai Feng's side having only three people, but they are all characters of the Residing level, and their strength is still far superior to Xiao Hong and others.

  Upon receiving Chai Feng's order, these two naturally did not dare to slack off. The mutated blood scale wolf was absolutely a top-notch product, and even when Chai Feng was promoted to the position of Guardian back then, there wasn't such an extreme beast like the mutated scale wolf with its unparalleled temptation level.

  Without a moment's hesitation, the two of them immediately launched a fierce attack on Xiao Hong and his companions, preparing to instantly kill them off and take the mutated Bloodscale Wolf they had obtained through their hard work for themselves.

  However, just as the three of them were about to launch an attack, their footsteps suddenly stopped. From the woods, a bolt of energy shot out like lightning, irregular and unpredictable, forcing Chai Feng and the others to retreat.

  "What a big nerve, who dares to launch a sneak attack on us?" Chai Shuang quickly retreated two steps back, her voice stern and her expression filled with anger, as if something good had been disrupted.

  "There was no response in the woods" However, after a few sounds of bodies rubbing against branches, Zhao Qing walked out of the woods with a companion, his face stern.

  Seeing Zhao Qing's figure, Chai Shuang's face changed slightly. She naturally knew that Zhao Qing's sudden appearance meant something, and it would be difficult to make a move on Xiao Hong and the others again.

  "Brother Zhao, how did you end up here?" Li Wen asked with a serious expression, but also with a hint of relief. Zhao Qing's appearance was a welcome sight after months of intense training, which had brought him to the level of a fifth-grade guardian. With his current abilities, he could easily handle Chi Shuang and the others, even if he were alone.

  "I came here following the loud noise I heard just now, what exactly happened?"

  Zhao Qing spoke up, his eyes also noticing the dead mutated blood scale wolf behind Xiao Hong and others. The cause of the matter was guessed by him to be about eight-tenths correct.

  "Your people, stole my Variant Bloodscale Wolf." Before Li Wen and the others could respond, Chai Shuang snapped back.

  "Rob yours, didn't you say the opposite? The Variant Bloodscale Wolf was clearly hunted by us, and just now, you even used us as a shield and scapegoat. Now that we've hunted it down, you're coming back to rob us?" Hong Feng said with a fierce tone, and with Zhao Qing backing him up, their confidence naturally grew.

  "What we see is what we get." Chai Shuang continued to argue forcefully.

  Having heard this, Zhao Qing also knew the general idea: "Whoever sees it is whoever's, then who was the first to see the first earth dragon at the entrance of the cave? Why did Miss Chai want to monopolize it?"

  "...", Seeing Zhao Qing say this, Chai Shuang was momentarily at a loss for words.

  However, Xiao Hong saw it very clearly. Zhao Qing's words had been said before, but the effect was vastly different. The reason for this was that of strength. In this world, reason is built on top of strength, and this once again made Xiao Hong realize the importance of strength.

  "According to the rules, whoever kills gets the reward, and whoever contributes more gets more benefits. Of course, Miss Chai Sang can choose not to follow the rules, but I must remind you that just because you are the granddaughter of Chai Sang, my master has already given instructions - whenever there is a conflict of interest, no matter who it is, they will be killed without mercy!" The last few words were spoken with a sudden rise in Zhao Qing's voice, and then his arm shook, and the golden war halberd on his arm emitted a dazzling light.

  Chai Shuang's mouth twitched involuntarily upon hearing this, and her footsteps subtly retreated backward.

  In Xiao Hong's eyes, the current situation has become clear.

  Without a sound, he took out the broken armor dagger, turned around, and quickly crouched beside the corpse of the mutated blood scale wolf, carefully cutting open its mangled and bloody abdomen.

  He also knew that Chai Feng had just arrived, and now Zhao Qing was here. Who could guarantee that other stray cats and dogs wouldn't appear soon? The best way to rule was to quickly take possession of the precious parts of the mutated wolf for oneself.

  In just a few seconds, a fist-sized emerald green blood scale wolf beast gall appeared in front of Xiao Hong. Such a large beast gall can be divided into six portions, and the most precious part is the part close to the liver, which is absolutely a top-grade product among all top-grade products.

  The method of drawing bile, Xiao Hong had already inquired about it in detail, quickly taking out a long and thin glass tube with a pointed head from his backpack, inserting it into the animal's gallbladder and then aiming the other end at a test tube refined with purple silicon.

  A few minutes later, six test tubes were filled to the brim. The most precious and pure bile was placed in a wooden protective case, which Xiao Hong took for himself. He then distributed the rest to his teammates beside him.

  Xiao Hong placed a tube of fluorescent green liquid in his hand, the 15th group's member, could be said to have eyes shining brightly. This was absolutely the material they had been craving for, with it, they could finally enter the realm of the strong, and the hard work they had put in earlier would finally pay off.

  Similarly, Xiao Hong's completely ungreedy approach once again greatly increased their good impression.

  "Brother Zhao, whoever sees this has a share. This is the last one, I'll give it to you." Coming to Zhao Qing's side, Xiao Hong glanced at Chi Shuang, who was looking unwell in front of him, and handed over the last green test tube in his hand to Zhao Qing. It can be said that Xiao Hong did this with a simple purpose: without Zhao Qing, they would probably get nothing. This was also a way to buy people's hearts and gain Zhao Qing's absolute goodwill, which could greatly improve their chances of survival. After all, having the variant beast's gallbladder was useless if they couldn't leave this place alive.

  "This... isn't quite right, is it?" Zhao Qing was somewhat taken aback when Xiao Hong handed him something like this. Unbeknownst to him, Xiao Hong was using the same method he had used against Sang Hongyun on him, only unfortunately, when Xiao Hong had previously given him the formula, he had analyzed it clearly, but now that it was his turn, he was somewhat bewildered.

  If it were an ordinary thing, Zhao Qing would absolutely not accept it, but at this moment, the beast gall of the variant blood scale wolf made Zhao Qing hesitate.

  "Brother Zhao, no need to be so polite. If you hadn't appeared in time, I'm afraid we wouldn't have gotten away so smoothly. Consider it your reward, and besides, we're all on the same side, no need to stand on ceremony." Xiao Hong said, and directly stuffed the test tube into Zhao Qing's magic pouch.

  Without hesitation, Xiao Hong turned around and continued to search for things on the body of the variant blood scale wolf. It can be said that the whole body of the variant blood scale wolf is a treasure, including two leg bones and vertebrae, which can be made into excellent magic guns. After taking them off skillfully, he directly threw them to Li Wen.

  Beast blood and brain pulp are excellent materials for making battle patterns, Xiao Hong decided to keep them private, while the epidermis is a top-notch material for making armor, at least for those below the level of a stationed master.

  After skinning it, Xiao Hong threw a large piece of it to Hong Feng.

  As for the meat of the Variant Bloodscale Wolf, it's absolutely a top-notch super supplement, with robust physical strength that can even rival the Hundred Year Spirit Silver Grass. Alright, it's dinner.

  Xiao Hong was like a butcher, quickly dissecting the mutated Bloodscale Wolf and distributing it to his companions who needed it. Chai Shuang's heart almost exploded with anger, as this was the first time she had ever felt someone's cold disregard for her since childhood.

  But then looking at Zhao Qing who had taken advantage of Xiao Hong, standing in front of her with a look of a watchdog, Chi Shuang could only let out a cold hum, glare viciously at Xiao Hong and the others, and turn to leave.

  Chapter 99 Arrived! (Third Update)

  As Xiao Hong threw the last useful part of the Variant Bloodscale Wolf to Yan Nan, almost everyone present gained a huge harvest, including that guy who came with Zhao Qing, not one was left out.

  At the same time, looking at the brightness of the "sky", it has dimmed a lot. This is because the ground has already entered the night and lost the sunlight shining here, so the "sky" can't absorb heat either.

  The surroundings have also become much darker, but not the kind where you can't see your hand in front of your face. Looking at the time, it's already past 10 o'clock at night.

  "Brother Zhao, it's getting late, I suggest we take a temporary rest. Our other people should also be hiding and resting around this time." Xiao Hong proposed.

  Zhao Qing also took a look at the Time Mausoleum, and knew that at this time, it was indeed necessary to rest well, especially in an environment where human vision would be greatly affected, but the Ling Beast would not.

  "Alright." Zhao Qing nodded and said, still the same words, after receiving several thousand taels of silver from Xiao Hong, he had to take Xiao Hong's words seriously: "But we must find a safe haven."

  "It's not bad over there." Xiao Hong pointed to the deep pit that had killed the mutated Bloodscale Wolf, which was now at least twice as large after being hit by the destructive rose. It could hold seven people, and as long as they covered it with sturdy tree trunks and hid the smell with fragrant grass, it wouldn't be easily discovered by wild beasts under normal circumstances.

  Zhao Qing arrived at the front of the deep pit, took a look around, and finally nodded in agreement, adopting Xiao Hong's proposal.

  Then Xiao Hong, Zhao Qing and others began to get busy, building an underground shelter. Xiao Hong also started placing warning magic patterns around them, and adjusted the detection level of Zi Mo Wen to the first level, because only at this level would they pose a threat to them "at night".

  After a short half hour, everyone worked together and finally laid crisscrossed tree trunks on top of the deep pit, covering them with leaves and mud. The four empty holes left at the corners served as both entrances and ventilation shafts. Thorny grass was placed at the entrance, which could be considered a kind of defense.

  Everything was ready, and Xiao Hong and others moved several thick wooden bars to sit around the bonfire. On top of the bonfire, there were large chunks of mutated blood scale wolf meat.

  "By the way, Brother Zhao, there's something I want to tell you." Xiao Hong suddenly remembered the intelligence he had gathered about the masked man earlier and told it to Zhao Qing one by one.

  Zhao Qing, who had somewhat relaxed his expression, heard this and his eyebrows tightened again. Obviously, the information provided by Xiao Hong was absolutely heavyweight and quite thorny.

  "Really?" Zhao Qing asked back.

  "That's right, we also heard it clearly. On the way, we encountered them and almost got killed. Xiao Hong even suspected that the accident at the entrance was set up by these people beforehand." Li Wen continued to say, confirming Xiao Hong's words.

  Zhao Qing did not speak up immediately, but nodded slightly instead.

  "This Darkmire Mountain is impassable, but we must get close to it and find other companions before retreating." Zhao Qing said softly after a moment of contemplation.

  Let's put this topic aside for now. The aroma of the mutated wolf meat on the bonfire has been wafting over, and after a whole day of not eating much except for some dry rations during lunch in the Dark Fusion Cave, everyone was too tense to feel anything. But now that they've calmed down and smelled the aroma again, their stomachs are growling loudly.

  Take a piece from the bonfire, and it's full of meat, juicy and flavorful, with a taste that exceeds expectations.

  "Do you know? This meat, if taken to Taiwu City, would be worth a jin of gold coins and people would still buy it."

  The guy who had been following Zhao Qing and seemed a bit quiet also spoke up, he was also a member of the same group as Zhao Qing, named Hailong, with third-class strength.

  Although he didn't get the Variant Beast's gall, he also gained a lot of benefits from Xiao Hong, more importantly, he didn't exert much effort to gain these benefits, which made him feel somewhat embarrassed yet extremely delighted in his heart.

  At this time, Xiao Hong's gaze inadvertently locked onto the wooden box with a small kiwi wolf behind him, which had been deformed due to the intense battle earlier.

  Oh no!

  Xiao Hong's heart involuntarily let out such a voice, just now the situation was tense, Xiao Hong had actually forgotten about that little guy, after this ordeal, it's likely that the little guy was tossed around so much that he didn't suffer lightly, and might have even been tossed to death, this filled Xiao Hong's heart with unbearable regret.

  Hurriedly opening the wooden box, Xiao Hong saw that the little wolf was motionless and curled up inside. At first, Xiao Hong thought it had probably died, a hint of sadness flashing across his face. However, when he carefully picked it up, he discovered that its plump belly was still rising and falling continuously.

  It's clear that this guy didn't just survive the intense battle earlier, but is actually sleeping even more soundly.

  I really don't know how I slept so soundly and still managed to survive until now.

  Xiao Hong's brow furrowed slightly with concern, but then relaxed a bit as he reached out to poke the little guy's head.

  At this time, the little wolf cub had just opened its sleepy eyes, let out a yawn, and then looked at Xiao Hong with an innocent gaze, completely unaware of what had happened earlier, looking dazed.

  "Have you had enough sleep? Want to eat something?" Xiao Hong didn't know how to communicate with this guy, so he simply tore off a piece of mutated Blood Wolf meat and waved it in front of the little guy.

  Looked at Xiao Hong's hand holding meat, sniffed with a small nose again, and looked at the little wolf cub "pounce"

  He immediately sat up from Xiao Hong's leg, suddenly came to his senses, then stretched out his small paws, grabbed the meat in Xiao Hong's hand, and started to tear it apart with great enthusiasm, just like a child who saw candy.

  Child.

  "It can't be, after all the trouble and not a single problem, its vitality is indeed unusually strong." Yannan looked at Xiao Qiulang and teased, apparently having obtained the mutated beast's gallbladder, his mood was naturally extremely good. Originally, he was just one of the decent ones among Sang Hongyun's elite medicine boys, but with the beast's gallbladder, it was a different story altogether.

  Hai Long, sitting opposite Xiao Hong, naturally saw how disheveled he was, but he ate with great relish.

  Qí Láng couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile.

  "Wow, I didn't expect that," said Hailong. "Your harvest is so rich that you can even catch the cubs of small wolves."

  "It's not caught, it's picked up." Xiao Hong responded, and then gently touched the little guy's head.

  After having enough wine and food, they packed some variant blood scale wolf meat, extinguished the bonfire, and several people turned into the deep pit, leaning against the earthen wall, closing their eyes slightly, and fell asleep lightly.

  The area inside is not very large, but a few people can still sleep in it after squeezing together.

  One hand grasping Xiao Qi's wolf, the other holding a warning mother tattoo, Xiaohong was the last to enter.

  Heaped up the thorny grass at the ventilation opening and fell asleep drowsily. It can be said that from dealing with bloodthirsty spiders at the beginning to dealing with mutated bloodscale wolves and Chai Frost just now, Xiao Hong has consumed a lot of stamina.

  As for the cyan-black magic pearl, in this place where no one knows what will happen next, Xiao Hong would not use it easily.

  In the dead of night, the warning system had sent out a few shockwaves, but apparently this underground shelter hadn't caught the attention of any spiritual beasts. The powerful spiritual beasts that were close by mostly just walked right past it.

  Waking up from a night's sleep, I looked at the time and it was already 6 o'clock in the morning. Although I didn't have a very comfortable sleep, my physical strength had recovered effectively.

  Without lingering, he checked the equipment on his body and put Xiao Qi back into the wooden box. Then, Xiao Hong followed Zhao Qing and others to continue heading north, which was still in the direction of Anrong Mountain. However, their goal was no longer to go to Anrong Mountain to find treasure, but to gather as many companions as possible and then return.

  As they journeyed on, as Xiao Hong and the others drew closer to An Rong Mountain, the distance between everyone also gradually decreased. After walking for two hours, in the forest, people's tracks began to appear more frequently, of course most were from other forces, it seemed that the number of people gathering was not small, teams of twenty or thirty could be seen.

  As for Xiao Hong's side, they also found a dozen or so companions, and the team's scale became significantly stronger. In this way, without a huge conflict of interest, it would not be easy to have a battle.

  Xiao Hong, who was marching in the team, also made a very clear direction for himself at this time, that is, to avoid taking action as much as possible, because he had already gotten what he wanted. At present, the primary goal is to leave here alive and return to Taiwu City, and then upgrade his strength to the level of a strong martial artist as quickly as possible.

  It wasn't until noon that Xiao Hong and the others made their way through this vast forest, arriving at a deep purple grassland. Except for the faint white flowers, everywhere they looked, they could see deep purple clumps of grass.

  About five hundred meters ahead, it was the towering Yunfeng Mountain, where purple crystals could be seen everywhere on the mountain range. This was Haiyao Stone. On the high ridge, you could also vaguely see the silhouette of a large creature, but due to the distance, it was unclear what it was.

  At the same time, on this grassland, there are also hundreds of people standing, all with more or less injuries on their bodies. Apparently, they have gone through countless risks to get here.

  Especially those teams that had pharmacists hanging out in advance were even more miserable, basically coming here and having only one life left.
