Chapter Forty-Seven: Lost and Found Again
With a loud roar from Ning Chong, the consciousness of the mercenaries became somewhat dizzy and their footsteps stumbled, swaying to the east and west.
In this brief moment of delay, when the mercenaries came to their senses, they only saw a slender white-clad youngster embracing a log thicker than his waist, charging towards them with a fierce momentum.
This scene is extremely bizarre, as the white-clothed boy and the round wood are not proportional at all. Looking at it is like an ant hugging a tree branch, which is ridiculous.
At this, the mercenaries were stunned for a moment, and none of them realized that - an ant holding up a tree branch may look ridiculous, but this ant should have how terrifying power!
They stood there stupidly, forgetting to charge forward, move or dodge.
Taking advantage of the moment when the mercenaries were somewhat stunned, Ning Chong had already charged into their midst.
"Cheers!"
His mouth burst into a series of loud whoops, Ning's arms bulged with muscle, his veins standing out, as he grasped the round log like a long pole and charged straight through the crowd.
"Ah!"
"Oh no!"
……
Cries of agony rang out one after another as Ning Chong swung the wooden log, mercilessly sweeping away more than thirty mercenaries.
The logs were heavy and huge, carrying a terrifying force. Even if they only scratched the skin, the mercenaries would be crippled with broken bones.
In an instant, the mercenaries were killed and cried out for their fathers and mothers, covering their heads and fleeing in all directions. Where was the momentum of just now, with red eyes, fighting to avenge Black Panther?
"Cheers!"
"Hah!"
……
Ning Chong's mouth was filled with furious roars, killing with excitement, his blood boiling. The huge log in his hand was as easy to wield as a toy, swinging lightly and effortlessly. He was like a god descending from heaven, every step he took would easily reap several lives.
In the blink of an eye, more than 30 mercenaries were killed or injured, with over 10 dead and at least that many seriously wounded with broken bones, some even having their heads and bodies smashed by logs, dying a terrible death.
At this point, the mercenaries finally reacted. This white-clothed youngster was not only strong enough to kill the black leopard, but was actually a killing god. Their so-called revenge for the black leopard was simply a ridiculous joke, and apart from delivering themselves to be slaughtered by this white-clothed youngster, it had no meaning at all.
Realizing this, the mercenaries completely lost their desire for revenge and did not stand still waiting to be slaughtered by Ning, but instead cried out and scattered in all directions fleeing for their lives.
A large number of mercenaries just charged over, with a fierce momentum. Now they are fleeing in all directions at a speed even three times faster than when they charged! It's hard not to admire the potential that is unleashed under the threat of death!
After a massacre, Ning Chong saw that the hired soldiers had fled with their tails between their legs. He didn't bother to chase them and, with a scornful snort, threw the log to the ground.
In the heat of the moment, Ning Chong completely let go and fought wildly without any care, enjoying the thrill of the intense battle. However, the exhaustion was also extreme, Ning Chong only felt his muscles aching all over, his arms trembling numbly, and he had become somewhat powerless.
Hei Bao is one of the leaders of the Black Tiger Mercenaries, and he must have many treasures on him. Ning Chong naturally wouldn't let him off.
In the camp, hundreds of mercenaries had completely withdrawn, and there was nothing around that could threaten Ning Chong. Ning Chong made some slight adjustments, rested for a while, and then went forward to collect the treasures on Hei Bao's body.
A few steps ahead, Ning Chong's eyes landed on the black panther's left index finger, where two space rings were worn. One was silver-white in color; the other was a familiar purple-copper color.
Ning's eyebrows twitched as he took another close look, and then he recognized the purple-copper colored spatial ring. Wasn't it the one he had thrown away more than ten days ago to escape the black panther's pursuit?
He nodded, and Ning Chong couldn't help but become even more certain that Hei Bao and the others had indeed used this purple-copper spatial ring to track and kill him. This purple-copper spatial ring must have been tampered with in some way.
The treasure of the black leopard must be in the space ring. If both space rings are tampered with, carrying them will only bring more trouble and being hunted down by the Black Tiger Mercenary Group.
This was something Ning Chong did not want to see. Ning Chong's face turned contemplative, his eyebrows furrowed, and he took off the two spatial rings on Hei Bao's fingers, placing them in the palm of his hand, starting to scan them with his eyes, carefully sensing.
Relying on that strange feeling, he put the two rings together for comparison, and after just a moment, Ning Chong discovered that one side of each ring had an unremarkable small blue dot! This small blue dot made him feel extremely uneasy!
It seems that this little blue dot is where something fishy has been done!
He spotted the key, Ning Chong took out his dagger and effortlessly pried off two blue dots from the two rings. Now he could finally own these two space rings with peace of mind.
He put away the spatial ring and Ning Chong cast his gaze at the long sword on the back of the black panther.
In the battle, Hei Bao kept trying to pull out the long sword. Later on, he even went mad and ignored Ning Chong's attacks just to pull out the sword. Unfortunately, he was seen through by Ning Chong who constantly stopped him. As a result, Hei Bao struggled until his death but failed to pull out the sword successfully.
But why did Black Panther try to pull out this sword?
With a puzzled expression, Ning Chong picked up the pitch-black long sword and pulled it out. For a moment, he felt only a flash of cold light and an oppressive chill, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
It's indeed a good sword! The sword is three feet long, one inch wide, and has the standard three-foot Green Peak. The sword body is adorned with ancient patterns, the blade is made of steel, and it's exceptionally sharp.
However, although the sword was good, Ning Chong couldn't help but feel even more puzzled. No matter how he looked at it, the sword didn't seem to be worth risking his life for Black Panther to pull out.
Although perplexed, this place was obviously not a place to stay for long. Ning Chong collected the treasures of Hei Bao and did not plan to stay any longer. He immediately took out his long sword and two spatial rings, unfolded his body technique, and disappeared into the night after a few ups and downs.
……
After some deliberation, Ning Chong finally chose to return to the mountain cave beneath the small waterfall.
This place is not only beautiful in environment, but also makes Ning Chong feel safe, no one disturbs his cultivation.
In the cave, Ning Chong sat cross-legged on the ground. He first opened the purple-copper-colored spatial ring and found that all the demon beast materials he had obtained were inside, not a single item was missing.
Ning Chong smiled slightly, after all, the things inside were his own harvest and accumulation for several months. At that time, throwing away this ring was still a bit heart-wrenching for him, now it can be considered as regaining what was lost.
Putting down the purple copper ring, Ning Chong picked up the silver white ring again.
Carefully observing, trying it out, Ning Chong couldn't help but feel even more delighted. This silver-white spatial ring was at least five to six times larger than the purple-copper spatial ring, and its grade was also higher. It could recognize its master through their aura, and others couldn't open it casually.
