Chapter 28: The Hidden Enemy

  That's right, the sharp-toothed beast is indeed very dangerous, but this danger is aimed at humans and other large spiritual beasts. As for insects, giant spiritual beasts have never had a good way to deal with them.

  Huo Hai looked at Jian Ya Qiao, his eyes narrowing slightly: "Attack." The moment the command was given, a large number of Xing Guo that had been lurking in ambush launched an attack on Jian Ya Qiao. The speed of the beetles reached its limit in an instant.

  With a "puffing" sound, the beetles flew into the body of the Jiantou one after another. The Jiantou was not a spiritual beast with scales on its body, and it had no defense against such an attack. Severe pain spread throughout its body in an instant. The Jiantou, which had never been so seriously injured before, let out a loud howl and raised its head.

  "What a good opportunity." Huo Hai's eyes narrowed, he had been waiting for the chance to raise his head. As soon as he raised his head, Xīng Guā, who had been waiting for a long time, shot towards Jiǎo Yá Qiào's nose. The wasp's vitality was very strong, and there was no need to worry about being suffocated.

  The inside of the nasal cavity was attacked, and a more intense pain surged up to the heart. Unfortunately, the injured area is quite special, even if you want to scream, there's no way. It only let out a loud cry when it was first hurt, and then didn't make too much noise afterwards.

  Of course, while the sharp-toothed beast was struggling, the sharp bone spurs all over its body scraped against the surrounding rocks, leaving marks on them. The smaller shrubs were directly cut off by the bone spurs. With the support of the sharp spiritual power, the originally sharp bone spurs became even more dangerous. Huo Hai's heart skipped a beat as he thought that if he had rushed up himself, he would have been killed instantly.

  Struggling to this point is the end. Because of a star worm, it has already bitten through the nasal cavity of Jian Ya Xiao and entered his brain. In an instant when the brain was injured, Jian Ya Xiao's eyes had already dimmed.

  After a few weak struggles, Sharp Tooth finally fell to the ground, his chest heaving up and down, indicating that he was still alive, but not for much longer. A large number of Star Worms pounced on Sharp Tooth's body, continuously gnawing at him, and would soon devour him completely.

  "Finally got rid of it, this time the harvest will definitely not be small." Huo Hai endured the discomfort and walked around the pointed teeth that had been gnawed on, heading towards the back. At first, Xing Huang told him that the card was inside here. Specifically where, still needed to be found by Huo Hai himself. Xing Huang had a certain level of intelligence, but not even comparable to a child, and could only convey simple information.

  After such a long time, Huo Hai has also become accustomed to this situation. Fortunately, it's not human, and Huo Hai hasn't felt nauseous yet. Habit is a terrifying thing; Huo Hai discovered that he had gradually become used to this situation.

  The sense of discomfort from the slaughter is getting less and less, and deep down there's even a little excitement. Huo Hai felt a chill in his heart - what was this situation? This was slaughter syndrome. "It's okay, it's okay, this condition is relatively mild, I haven't personally taken action yet." He thought to himself, "I'll be careful from now on, or else I'll become a madman who only knows how to kill." Huo Hai secretly warned himself.

  Soon, Huo Hai turned the nest of Jiantuya upside down. Inside, there were indeed cards left by the strong men of Huangcheng College, which could be put in without hurting Jiantuya, indicating that the person who did it was not simple either.

  "Five hundred, this time I finally got five hundred. If I can find three more, the Blood Refining Pill will be settled." Huo Hai thought to himself silently. He glanced at Ji Mu, then put things away. It's not that Huo Hai didn't want to share with her.

  Firstly, this was originally his own effort, and Ji Mu didn't exert himself at all. Secondly, Ji Mu wasn't familiar with him, he just insisted on following along. Finally, even if Ji Mu wanted to accumulate points cards, once they arrived at the Imperial City Academy, she could easily get a large pile of them. Not comparable to the top families in Nanyun Country, but still among the best.

  I don't know where else, I can find such a powerful spirit beast. Huo Hai thought to himself as he watched the stag beetle finish off the remaining bones. In the end, all that was left were a few decent fangs and some bone spurs.

  "Ke Mu, do you want these things? It's just that we were short of weapons earlier. I alone can't carry them, if you don't want them, I'll let my insects eat them." Even metal can be eaten, let alone bones.

  These bony spurs and fangs were all that remained of the Ling Bone Boundary's sharp teeth. The bones themselves had been tempered to be extremely sturdy, and their spiritual energy containment was very good. With a bit of forging, they could become quite formidable weapons. However, after taking a look at these things, Ji Mu shook his head and said: "I already have a weapon, I don't need this stuff." Ji Mu grasped his own short sword tightly.

  Like Huo Hai, Ji Jia also gave Ji Mu a weapon. However, it wasn't as high-grade as Xuan level, only a top-quality Huang level.

  Huo Hai didn't mind, casually picked two Liang Ya and swung them in his hand a few times, feeling very satisfied. With a move in his heart, he let the Xing Huangs start eating, and they ate all the remaining Lang Ya clean. The Linggu Bodhi's spiritual beasts were all treasures from head to toe.

  Although the dagger is powerful, Ho Hai is not good at close combat and even fighting. The tone is that using a dagger that doesn't suit oneself is not as good as using this fang-tooth. The fang-tooth is very long, like a short sword. For someone who hasn't fought much, weapons are naturally better the longer they are, right?

  After tidying up, Huo Hai brought Ji Mu and set out on the road to find the integral card again. However, not long after the two left, two young men walked over, walking while carefully observing their surroundings.

  "Third brother, come quick and look, there are signs of a fight here. Look at the stone and this tree, they're all broken like that. Could it be that that little kid is so formidable? What do you think they encountered?" If Hao Hai were here, he would discover that these two people were exactly two of the ones who followed He back then. Unexpectedly, the two of them had been following behind all along.

  Because of Huo Hai's reputation, these people were all scared out of their wits and didn't dare to get close. They could only rely on their own judgment, hanging far behind him, just so they wouldn't lose him. Still, they would send back messages, reporting everything about Huo Hai.

  "I don't know, but judging from the marks, it should be those two who came. I also don't know what this thing is, such a terrifying guy, actually had a big fight." Third brother said in a low voice while observing his surroundings.

  "Third brother, do you really think we can avenge ourselves? That guy is too strong. With just one swing of his hand, all our people were killed. If we were to face him head-on, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have the courage to stand up." The young man said with a gloomy expression. Being killed so many times and not even daring to avenge ourselves, this is really too humiliating.

  "Hmph, you don't understand. Of course we're going to take revenge. We can't just let it go like this. Are you saying that he killed our big brother and you want to ignore it? What we're doing now is following him, waiting for the right moment when we have enough power to take revenge."

  The young man's face turned even more bitter. He too wanted to avenge, but how could he: "Third brother, it's not that I don't want to avenge big brother, but that little brat is too terrifying. You see this urgency, can we handle it?"

  Three of them shook their heads: "We can't handle it, and that doesn't mean others can't either. Third Master has already gone to contact other people. Such a dangerous guy, absolutely cannot let him mess around, otherwise others will not be able to get points. On the way here, did you see any point cards? That kid's scouting ability is very strong, so we can't get close."

  Huo Hai probably never thought that it was because he didn't leave a card, which exposed the reason for his detective ability. These two people have been following far away, Huo Hai's star wheel is not so far from himself, so they didn't discover.

  "Third brother, I'm not talking about that. With so many people around, no one would dare to kill him, he's the young master of the Huo family after all. At most, we can just suppress him a bit and make sure he doesn't get too out of hand. We want revenge, but it's still up to us to take action."

  "Hmph, who told you others don't dare to kill? The rise of the Huo family in recent years has already caused many families to be on guard and dissatisfied. Moreover, with the Huo family having few people, as long as we kill Huo Hai, the Huo family will have big trouble. Besides, even if others can't succeed at that time, we will take action ourselves. At that time, that little brat will be severely injured, making it easier to kill him."

  At this point, San Ge's face suddenly changed, staring tightly at a footprint on the ground, his eyes fixed on Lao Da.

  The young man felt strange and asked in a low voice, "Third brother, what's wrong with you? You're so surprised. It's just a footprint. Who knows what kind of spirit beast left it." His words finally brought the third brother back to his senses.

  "Smack!" Third Brother slapped him hard: "I told you to learn more, but you never do. Do you know what this footprint is? This is a Sharp Tooth's footprint, an adult Sharp Tooth's footprint, and there aren't many of them in the entire South Mountain. Its strength has reached the Spiritual Bone realm. That kid was able to kill it, and even got rid of the body in a short amount of time, what do you think that means?" Third Brother scolded him with a mix of anger and disappointment, feeling like he's not living up to his potential and will end up dying miserably if he continues this way.

  He was slapped, and the fire that had originally risen in his heart seemed to have been doused with cold water by Third Brother's words. Killing an adult Qiangya with one blow, what kind of ability is this? This represents the powerful cultivation of Huo Hai having reached the Linggu realm.

  This is a very serious situation, the two of them exchanged a glance, and it was hard to conceal the shock in their hearts. It wasn't that they didn't have the ability to leave them behind, but rather they intentionally showed weakness. The depth of this young man's strategy made people feel terrified.

  "No, we have to hurry and report back. This kid's amnesia is probably fake too, what a deep scheme, what a clever move by the Huo family. To protect their young master, they've even resorted to this trick." Third Brother was shocked in his heart, and in an instant, he thought of so many things. Beside him, another young man also felt that something was off.

  The two exchanged a glance and began to move. They left information and signals on the spot, waiting for the people behind to discover.
