Chapter Thirty-Four: Resuming the Killing Spree, Delving Deeper into South Mountain

  Huo Hai can't maintain his focus for a long time, this kind of vigilance requires a long time to cultivate, and it's normal that Huo Hai has times when he relaxes his guard.

  But Huo Hai relaxed his vigilance, but it didn't mean that Huo Hai had no defensive ability. At the moment of attack, Huo Hai's skin wrinkled and felt the danger. This danger was enough to be fatal.

  Huò Hǎi himself was completely caught off guard, but his heart stirred, and the Xīng Huì protecting him reacted. A large number of Xīng Huì flew out from Huò Hǎi's body, forming a thin layer of protection. Although the protection was somewhat sparse, it could still cover his entire body. In an instant, a crystal light formed, and over a dozen attacks landed on this protective layer.

  "Ding ding ding......" It was as if the sound of raindrops falling. This thin layer of defense actually blocked more than a dozen arrows. The defense only fluctuated slightly, and the arrows fell to the ground like this, which was simply unbelievable.

  "What's going on, how can this be? What kind of defense is this? No, this isn't a spiritual energy defense, or else the Spirit-Breaking Arrow wouldn't have been blocked. Not good, let's retreat quickly." Realizing something was off, the captain immediately gave the order to withdraw.

  Unfortunately, it's already too late. Huo Hai was attacked and how could he not care at all? The incident happened suddenly, and Huo Hai didn't react that quickly. Now that he has reacted, of course, he won't let them escape.

  "You damned bastards, how dare you ambush me, all of you will die!" Huo Hai's suppressed killing intent was released once again. Huo Hai's eyes instantly showed signs of turning red. Since the master was enraged, the Star Worms naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch. Apart from the Star Worm protecting Huo Hai beside him, the surrounding Star Worms quickly found their targets and launched an attack.

  Just now perhaps didn't notice, but what place launched an attack, don't the Star Worms know yet? Even if they don't know, all objects around that are moving now have become their targets.

  "Ho Hai, don't do this, you'll lose control of yourself." Ji Mu's eyes saw Ho Hai was about to lose control again and hastily went forward to pull him back. After thinking for a moment, Ji Mu gritted his teeth and wrapped his arms around Ho Hai from behind.

  Huo Hai's body was wrapped in a soft bundle, and the fire in his heart also decreased significantly. After a while, Huo Hai woke up. He secretly thought that he was lucky to have Ji Mu beside him, otherwise the consequences would be unthinkable.

  For Ji Mu, Huo Hai's heart had an unconscious fluctuation, a special feeling. Especially when he felt the softness behind him, Huo Hai's face suddenly started to turn red. Before Huo Hai could think too much, Xing Huang had already transmitted the message of finding the target. Huo Hai's eyes turned cold: "Kill, not one left." He issued an absolute kill order to the Xing Huangs in his heart.

  Then, the whole person closed his eyes and temporarily blocked the news from Xinghuang. He didn't want to feel the killing of Xinghuang, or he would lose control of himself. After a few muffled hums, there was no movement in the jungle.

  It turns out that these people, in order to ambush themselves, were not very close to themselves. Feeling the killing intent on Huo Hai's body dissipate, Ji Mu's heart finally calmed down. Suddenly, Ji Mu pushed Huo Hai away, turned his head around, and didn't say a word.

  Why did I do something like that, how could I be so stupid, and now I'm so embarrassed. Ji Mu's face turned redder as she thought about her actions just now. She sneaked a glance at Huo Hai, who was suppressing the killing intent in his heart, and only then did Ji Mu let out a sigh of relief. For some reason, a hint of loss and regret suddenly flashed through her mind.

  It wasn't until much later that Huo Hai opened his eyes and stared at Ji Mu, saying: "Ji Mu, thank you this time. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened to me. In the future, if there's anything you need my help with, just let me know."

  "It's okay, it doesn't matter. Later on, I'll be troubling you." Ji Mu didn't know what he was thinking about, nor did he know how much value this promise from Huo Hai held. His mind was a mess right now, and he had no idea what he was thinking about.

  Huò Hǎi didn't mind, and when he communicated with Xīng Huǒ again, the message that Xīng Huǒ conveyed was that all the enemies around him had been cleared away, and their corpses had already been eaten. These actions had been done countless times before, and were so familiar that they couldn't be any more familiar. Huò Hǎi nodded slightly, not wanting to delve deeper into it, as he feared that he wouldn't be able to suppress his own killing intent.

  He lowered his head, and Huo Hai picked up the arrow that had just fallen beside him. This time, the arrow was not immediately eaten away, because Xing Huang wanted to protect his whole body, he could only use defense, it was impossible to move his mouth while defending at the same time.

  On the arrowheads, there were only some marks, which were left when they attacked themselves and were bitten by the star worms. Huo Hai picked up the arrows on the ground and examined them carefully. Without danger, the star worms didn't need to protect themselves around him anymore.

  "This, this looks so familiar." Huo Hai looked at these arrows and didn't know where he had seen them before.

  At this time, Ji Mu had finished his wild thoughts and recovered. He walked to the side of Huo Hai, hesitated for a moment, then said: "These are Broken Spirit Arrows, generally only available in the black market as contraband. It seems that these people really want you dead." Ji Mu's face turned somewhat cold, if Huo Hai died, what would happen to himself?

  Ji Mu thought for a moment, then suddenly ran out and came back soon after. In his hand was a metal piece that hadn't been completely consumed by the Star Worms. On it was a special symbol that Huo Hai couldn't decipher.

  "This is the emblem of the He family, the one who just made a move. If it's not He Wu, then it's He Lu. According to He Lu's personality, he shouldn't be looking for trouble with us on his own initiative. Moreover, He Lu wouldn't openly use the Broken Spirit Arrow, so the one who made the move is probably He Wu." Huo Hai was worried about who had just attacked him, but before he could think further, Ji Mu found out.

  I'm still too impulsive, next time I must let Xing Huang eat slower or leave some things behind.

  "He's coming, he's pressing, humph, and there's also the He family. I, Huo Hai, won't end up like this with you all." Huo Hai didn't hesitate to think of others in the worst possible way. Since two young masters of the He family had laid hands on him, then the entire He family was the same.

  Huò Hǎi delivered the goods here, but He Wàng was frightened enough. He never thought that he used more than a dozen broken spirit arrows to attack at the same time, and it was still blocked. Broken Spirit Arrows, this is something that only the imperial family and the military can use openly and fairly. Generally, it can only be used on the battlefield as a contraband, and its power against ordinary people is extremely huge.

  But he never thought that Huo Hai not only blocked this attack, but also instantly killed all the ambushers. Now there are only two subordinates left by his side, and they are not very powerful either.

  After discovering that those people were dead, He didn't dare to move until two hours later when the outside noise had completely calmed down. Then he pulled the two people beside him and quickly ran far away. From then on, they never met that guy again.

  "Third, Third Young Master, what should we do? Should we continue?" A young mercenary swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with difficulty.

  He glared at Tuo Mo with a fierce gaze: "What, what continue? All of you, quickly leave. From now on, I will never see that guy again." He suddenly discovered that his own voice was trembling.

  The hatred in his heart for Huo Hai suddenly increased, scaring himself like this was all because of Huo Hai. "Damn Huo Hai, I won't end up like this with you. Don't give me the chance, I will definitely make you die, make you die." He glared at his two subordinates with bloodshot eyes, and they quickly lowered their heads, indicating that they had seen nothing.

  After a long time, He took a deep breath: "For now, let's just get out of here. With the points we have on our bodies, we can already join the Imperial City Academy. Even if you two are added, it won't be a problem, and we'll discuss the details later."

  Two people did not expect that they would benefit from misfortune, originally the points could only be concentrated on one person, but now they can actually bring both of them together. As ordinary mercenaries, being able to join the Imperial City Academy is something they never thought possible.

  "Thank you, young master. From now on, my brother and I will only follow your lead and have no second thoughts. Please be at ease, young master. Just now, we didn't know anything, everything was done by those people themselves, it's all their own doing."

  As a subordinate, he quickly expressed his attitude, and another one who was a bit late also hurriedly expressed his loyalty. Heyang nodded, these two people are very aware of the situation, otherwise they wouldn't be staying by his side. Having seen things they shouldn't have seen earlier, they also won't speak out.

  Fine, since that's the case, let's get out of here first. With only three people left, it's not like we can achieve anything in this place anyway. If we don't leave early, who knows, we might even be surrounded by other teams. Right now, there aren't many people lying in wait near the exit. If we're late, this so-called young master will be the one to suffer.

  Hei brought his subordinates and was running out. However, Huo Hai was different. After suppressing the killing intent in his heart, he took Ji Mu and ran in the opposite direction. At this time, Huo Hai also didn't have the mind to investigate the matter of the code.

  According to the original plan, enter the mountain forest first. The battle just now allowed Huo Hai to obtain a method that can avoid killing sequelae. As long as the prey is found, order Xing Huang to attack, and then cut off the connection between himself and Xing Huang.

  In this way, the information of Xing Huan's massacre was imperceptible to himself, although there was a bit of self-deception, but it really had an unusual effect on suppressing the killing intent. After Xing Huan finished eating its prey, he would walk over. From then on, even if he knew that a spiritual beast or human had died in this place, Huo Hai would not be affected in the slightest.

  He didn't expect to be ambushed once and actually find such a good method, Hao Hai's heart was overjoyed.
