Chapter 960: A Large-Scale ‘Screwing-Up Scene’
Sun Mo looked at the food and activated Divine Sight.
The list of various nutrition data immediately appeared.
Sun Mo glanced through the information.
“There are no red words as a warning?”
Sun Mo frowned.
Theoretically, Lian Fangcao and these aboriginals weren’t of the same mind. These people definitely wouldn’t take care of Sun Mo and the others.
Even if Lian Fangcao used her status to pressure them to give Sun Mo food, these people would surely do something to it. At the very least, they might spit saliva within to disgust them, right?
Hence, Sun Mo meticulously checked it once more.
This time around, he discovered the problem.
“System, tell me what do I need you for?”
Sun Mo was very angry.
One of the food components was a type of liquid from a fragrant flower fungus.
If ordinary people saw this data, they would assume that this type of liquid was a seasoning. But Sun Mo had learned about so many herbs from the [Darkness Continent Great Plants Encyclopedia], and he knew that this was a type of fungus that induced an intense unconsciousness effect.
If one consumed this, they would immediately fall into a deep sleep. They would be akin to pigs. Even if one tossed them into boiling water and plucked their fur off, they wouldn’t wake up.
“I’ve long since said that the system is only playing a supportive role. What you can truly depend on is still the knowledge you grasped.”
The system spoke boldly and confidently like justice was on its side.
The majority of the previous hosts all died because they relied on the system too much.
It was because they were confusing the cause and effect.
What the system wanted was for the great teachers to solve the problems using their own knowledge. From the looks of things, Sun Mo had performed pretty well.
“Why? Are you looking down on us because the food’s quality is too low? Or are you worried that I might poison the food?”
Mu Qiansen cursed in the tribal language and used the wooden spoon to scoop a mouthful of rice before placing it in his mouth, then he started chewing.
(Damn, even an aboriginal knows how to spur people on by making negative remarks? Why don’t you ascend to the heavens?)
Sun Mo ridiculed him silently, but his facial expression didn’t change as he accepted the food.
“Hmph, foolish humans.”
Mu Qiansen felt disdain. If it wasn’t that the number of their tribe members were too few, they could probably do a counter-invasion and occupy the land of these humans, turning them into slaves.
The only thing that was a pity was that the females of humanity were too ugly.
(Look at their skin, it’s so white and fair. So sleek on top of that? That’s truly too disgusting!)
Mu Qiansen had a look of disdain as he looked at Li Ruolan and Murong Mingyue. Even for the ‘huge’ Bai Xiqing, he didn’t have her in his eyes.
“I don’t know why, but I hate this man a lot. Later on, bury him under the ground and turn him into fertilizer. In any case, we wouldn’t lack one or two captives.”
However, when Mu Qiansen was distracted, he suddenly heard his tribesmen crying out.
After that, the wooden plate smashed into his face with the force of a meteorite striking the Earth.
Bang!
The plate shattered directly.
Mu Qiansen raged and punched out at Sun Mo.
Bang!
Sun Mo’s head exploded.
“Eh? He’s actually so weak?”
Mu Qiansen was astonished. After that, he suddenly came to a shocking realization. “Something is wrong, there’s no blood and brain matter. It must be an illusion!”
Mu Qiansen’s combat instinct was rather strong. He continued charging forward, wanting to suppress Murong Mingyue.
Sun Mo’s clones scattered and went to stop the other aboriginals. As for his original self, it appeared behind Mu Qiansen, preparing to pummel him half-to-death. But in the end, that fellow actually rushed forward.
Sun Mo could only change his move. Otherwise, his punch’s momentum would push Mu Qiansen further ahead and allowed Mu Qiansen to get closer to Murong Mingyue quicker.
72 stances of the Dragon God, Dragon Capturing Hands.
Roar!
Amidst the dragon roars, a dragon talon formed from spirit qi grabbed toward Mu Qiansen.
Murong Mingyue’s legs touched the ground and she retreated elegantly. At the same time, she threw out a handkerchief from her sleeves.
Fragrance permeated the air.
“You can’t run.”
Mu Qiansen laughed malevolently, but at the next instant, the scene in front of his eyes caused his expression to drastically change.
That handkerchief floated in the wind and when it brushed past Mu Qiansen, it seemed to be ‘knitted’ by two invisible large hands. A moment later, it became a rag doll.
After that, the rag doll shot toward Mu Qiansen’s face, and there was actually a steel needle in its hands.
Chi!
The steel needle directly pierced into the side of Mu Qiansen’s neck.
Despite facing Mu Qiansen who was so close to her, Murong Mingyue was like an ancient well with no ripples. She was exceedingly calm as she flicked her fingers continuously.
Woosh~ Woosh~ Woosh~
Numerous steel needles flew toward the rag doll.
The rag doll received them and turned, piercing the needles into Mu Qiansen’s body.
“Scram!”
Mu Qiansen roared.
Every time the needle pierced into him, he would feel intense pain. As a result, Mu Qiansen’s limbs trembled uncontrollably and some stiffness manifested. He wanted to destroy the rag doll, but that it was like a squirrel weaving around agilely. He basically couldn’t touch it.
Sun Mo finally caught up and sank a punch into the back of Mu Qiansen’s head.
Bang!
Mu Qiansen stumbled. He felt his head spinning and he couldn’t retaliate.
Pak!
Sun Mo took Mu Qiansen down. “Don’t move or I’ll cut off your dog head.”
After feeling Evil Vanquisher pressing on his neck, Mu Qiansen became much more honest. The other aboriginals didn’t dare to rush forward as well. After having surrounded Sun Mo and the others, they stared at them like how tigers would look at their prey.
“Fangcao!”
Sun Mo shouted loudly.
…
In the cell, the ears of Lu Zhiruo, who was curled up, moved. She immediately became energized. “Eldest Martial Sister, I think I just heard Teacher’s voice.”
Ying Baiwu ignored the papaya girl. She continued to use her teeth and tried to chew apart the vines. Sitting here to wait for death?
That wasn’t her personality.
“Teacher will definitely come!”
Li Ziqi was very disappointed. She didn’t take care of everyone well and had completely let down her teacher’s trust in her. She had to think of any ideas that could save the situation.
…
Mu Qianlin looked at Lian Fangcao who just fainted after eating a few mouthfuls of the food that was laced by an incapacitating agent. He then found a blanket and laid it over her.
“Don’t blame me!”
Just when Mu Qianlin wanted to pack some stuff and head to the Underground Palace to reinforce his eldest brother, he suddenly saw a subordinate rushing over in a hurry.
“Brother Lin, Brother Sen was captured.”
After hearing this, Mu Qianlin’s face immediately turned ashen.
“Trash, he can’t even handle a small matter like this.”
Mu Qianlin knew that those humans captured a hostage because they wanted to negotiate something. If it wasn’t for the fact that his time was tight, he would surely waste their time.
As for Mu Qiansen’s life and death?
(Failures have to accept the punishment.)
“I wonder if the status of this captive is high or not?”
Bai Xiqing hoped that Mu Qiansen’s status was high enough to exchange for Mei Ziyu and the others.
“That green-skinned female most probably has run into trouble.”
Li Ruolan frowned. They had created such a huge commotion, yet that green-skinned female didn’t show herself. Clearly, this incident must have been an arranged one.
“Someone is here.”
Sun Mo reminded the others in a low voice.
Everyone lifted their heads and saw a two-meter-tall male aboriginal walking over vigorously. He had a muscular build and exuded a sense of pressure.
“Brother!’
After seeing Mu Qianlin, Mu Qiansen had a face filled with self-reproach.
“Survival by breaking the tail!”
Mu Qianlin used the aboriginal’s language to say it.
“Ah?”
Mu Qiansen’s body started trembling.
‘Survival by breaking the tail’ meant to explode his four limbs and take the chance to escape, akin to a lizard breaking its tail for survival.
Naturally, doing so had serious consequences. The proportion of the limbs that would be regenerated wouldn’t be able to match with the body well. Moreover, the person’s lifespan would be reduced by a few years.
With regard to the narcissistic Mu Qiansen, he naturally wouldn’t be able to accept becoming an ugly freak.
“Break the tail!
“Do it!”
Mu Qianlin berated.
“Sun Mo, why do I feel that something is wrong?”
Li Ruolan felt a sense of unease.
Sun Mo said a few sentences, but the other party ignored him.
“Oi, my patience has a limit. If you don’t release the people I want, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Sun Mo roared and was prepared to hack one of Mu Qiansen’s arms off. But at this moment, it actually exploded first before Sun Mo could do anything.
Bang!
The shockwave emitted a green bloodmist as it spread, blocking the vision of everyone.
Sun Mo had one of his hands grabbing onto Mu Qiansen’s arm, while his other hand was holding his sword that was pressed onto Mu Qiansen’s neck. Hence, after the arm exploded, he was struck head-on by the blast.
“Oh no!”
Sun Mo was badly shocked. He ignored the aching pain from his body and wanted to capture Mu Qiansen again. However, he couldn’t see clearly due to the blood mist. What was even more troublesome was that Mu Qianlin also attacked.
Pak!
A long whip lashed out toward Sun Mo’s head.
“Attack!”
Mu Qianlin gave the order. The aboriginals in the surroundings immediately tossed the spears in their hands out.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
The sounds of wind breaking echoed out. If the spears hit their target, their target would surely become a porcupine.
“Retreat!”
Sun Mo knew he had no chance anymore. There was basically no hope for them to win four against a group. Hence, they could only reconsider their plan.
“Hmph!”
Mu Qianlin coldly snorted. His whip was like a venomous snake and evaded Sun Mo’s blocking position, piercing toward Sun Mo’s throat instead.
Pak!
Sun Mo flicked his wrist and used his sword to knock the whip away.
“Retreat first!”
Sun Mo urged and activated Divine Sight.
Mu Qianlin, strength-level equivalent to an expert at the Longevity Realm. Suggestion: Avoid him.
“Ah!”
Li Ruolan screamed. A spear pierced her lower leg and she fell onto the ground.
Sun Mo felt so anxious that he got a headache. However, he was being pursued by Mu Qianlin and couldn’t do anything to help.
“Teacher Sun, don’t get embroiled in a fight. Prioritize escape!”
Murong Mingyue shouted. That rag doll flew over and disrupted Mu Qianlin, but in just an instant, it was torn into pieces.
Another aboriginal charged forward and obstructed Sun Mo.
Sun Mo originally didn’t want to kill any aboriginals because of Lian Fangcao. But now, under anxiousness and rage, he retaliated with his full force.
Bang!
The head of one aboriginal was directly exploded by Sun Mo, looking like a tomato that was being squashed by a great force.
“Sun Mo, just ignore me and run!” Li Ruolan wailed.
“Leave quickly!”
Murong Mingyue received a whip attack. After that, she pulled Sun Mo along as they sped away.
Bai Xiqing also quickly vanished inside the flowerfield.
“Brother!”
Mu Qiansen came over and stared at Sun Mo’s back with vengeance. “Leave this fellow for me to kill.”
Pak!
Mu Qianlin gave him a back-hand slap.
“Trash!’
After Mu Qianlin finished scolding him, he sank into contemplation.
RUMBLE~
Dark clouds gathered in the skies as the sound of thunder rang out. In an instant, the rain started falling.
“Haha, even the heavens are on our side.”
Mu Qiansen’s swollen face revealed a cruel smile.
Since these humans could enter the Vile Canyon safely and weren’t eaten by the man-eating flowers, it meant that Lian Fangcao must have sprinkled the powder on them. Now that it was raining, the powder would be washed away and those man-eating flowers could now target them.
“You shall guard here. I will go and kill them.”
Mu Qianlin spoke.
“Ah? Why?”
Mu Qiansen didn’t understand.
“I can smell the scent of a top-level plant species from that human.”
Mu Qianlin drew a deep breath.
This was also one of the talents of the greenhaze aboriginals. They could use their sense of smell to search for precious plants. It was like how some wild pigs could search for truffles.
“Qiansen, your small team is to remain here and guard the campsite. The others should follow me, let’s end things fast.”
After Mu Qianlin finished speaking, he took the lead and chased after Sun Mo.
