Chapter 972: Why Are You the One Who Takes the Benefits for Every Good Thing?
Translator: Lordbluefire
“Enemies are coming, everyone be careful!”
Sun Mo warned in a low voice.
At this moment, if he shouted and was heard by their enemies, the other party might instantly attack. If that was the case, his side would be caught unaware.
By warning in a low voice now, they could get themselves prepared. At the very least, they could adjust their mentalities.
Let alone An Xinhui and Jin Mujie, even Liu Mubai didn’t doubt Sun Mo’s judgment. Hence, they immediately became alert and stared warily at their surroundings.
The troops of the Saint Gate were using gazes of ridicule as they looked at Sun Mo like he was someone crazy.
“Do you have a mental illness?”
Someone ridiculed.
(We frequently experience bloody battles and have fought countless times against the evil villains from the Dark Dawn. Our instincts are extremely sharp, but we don’t sense anything at all.)
It was indeed true that Sun Mo’s teaching capabilities were very high. But what about his combat skill?
(Sorry! You are just a noob!)
The gazes of everyone were filled with superiority as they looked at Sun Mo.
This was very common. After all, males would always want to prove that they were more superior to others.
“Shut up!”
Yet, Wang Han was frowning as he berated.
A human’s fame was like a tree’s shadow. Sun Mo definitely lived up to his reputation. Since he said something like this, they naturally had to regard it with importance.
“Leave here quickly!”
Sun Mo urged.
Although he didn’t know what his enemies wanted to do, Retaliation Storm already caused his nerves to be stretched taut as his heart pounded rapidly.
“It’s poisonous smoke!”
An Xinhui was the first to discover the crux.
A type of odorless and colorless gas was disseminated through the air.
Everyone swiftly left the room and dashed into the corridor. But before they could run far, all of them were immobilized.
Bang!
A soldier knocked into Liu Mubai’s back.
“What are you doing? Why did you suddenly halt?”
The other party grumbled.
“I…I cannot move!”
Liu Mubai turned pale with shock.
Sun Mo activated Divine Sight and looked at Liu Mubai.
Warning: Target is infected by parasites, he has lost all perception of his body.
“Damn, it’s a bug master!”
Sun Mo felt his scalp turning numb. This was the type of enemy he didn’t wish to encounter the most.
“The Green-robed Ancestor has arrived!”
Wang Han’s expression turned pale. The Saint Gate had some information about the Green-robed Ancestor. He was a bug master and was a graduate from the Myriad Spirits Academy. He was most proficient in administering gu-poison and using gu-bugs.
“Leader, ignore us and leave first!”
The subordinates shouted.
Wang Han was also a decisive man. He knew that if he stayed behind, it would be like courting death. Hence, he grabbed the map from Liu Mubai who was frozen solid, and rushed to leave.
They already had some harvests like some seeds and a few diaries. He had to quickly return and report this to the Saint Gate. So, even if he died, his death would have value.
“I’ll f*** your mom!”
Liu Mubai cursed and exerted some force, wanting to chase after him. But before he could take two steps forward, his legs grew soft as he knelt on the ground.
The others also lay on the ground, paralyzed.
As Wang Han ran away, the Green-robed Ancestor also appeared in the corridor.
He didn’t panic that someone was escaping. He had the bearing of a Saint.
“Sun Mo, we meet again.”
The Green-robed Ancestor greeted.
“Where’s that aboriginal elder? Was he killed by you?”
Sun Mo cast a few glances over and discovered that the robes of the Green-robed Ancestor were tidy. There were no signs that he had just undergone a tough battle.
“Nope, this place is after all, the homeground of the aboriginals.”
At the Green-robed Ancestor’s level, the temporary loss of an advantage wasn’t something embarrassing to speak of. In any case, all would be good as long as he was the final victor.
“That’s really too regretful.”
Sun Mo sighed. He actually didn’t care who would win or lose. But by speaking like this, he would give the Green-robed Ancestor a feeling that they were on the same site.
If he was alone, he would definitely be unyielding in his attitude. But now, An Xinhui, Murong Mingyue, and Jin Mujie were all here. He didn’t want them to be injured.
“Hehe!”
The Green-robed Ancestor was fond of Sun Mo’s attitude. “How about it? Have you considered my suggestion?”
“Can I have more time to consider?”
Sun Mo smiled bitterly.
“Will there be a difference if you have more time?”
The Green-robed Ancestor glanced at An Xinhui and the others. “Alright then, I guess I’ll act like the good guy until the end. When I see you again the next time, I hope I will hear a satisfying answer from you.”
After the Green-robed Ancestor finished speaking, a thudding sound rang out as he slammed his crutch onto the ground.
The troops of the Saint Gate in the surroundings immediately stood up.
“Go, kill your leader!”
As the Green-robed Ancestor instructed, those soldiers rushed out with no hesitation.
Upon seeing this, Sun Mo’s scalp turned numb.
If one was to name a thing that was more terrifying than death, it would naturally be losing the freedom to control one’s body.
“Don’t let down my appreciation of you.”
The Green-robed Ancestor cast a deep glance at Sun Mo before leaving. This was his last act of kindness. If Sun Mo rejected him again, he would directly make Sun Mo into a bug puppet.
“What should we do now?”
Liu Mubai probed a little and discovered that he still couldn’t move.
“Sun Mo, what did the Green-robed Ancestor want you to do?”
An Xinhui was worried.
“He wants me to be his student.”
Sun Mo smiled bitterly.
“What?” Liu Mubai started. “The ordinary type or the personal type?”
“If it’s just to accept him as an ordinary student, would he need to make such a huge fanfare?”
Murong Mingyue scolded. (With the urgency of the situation, you are actually caring about this?)
“…”
Liu Mubai suddenly felt his enthusiasm waning.
He again discovered that his rival was so much more brilliant than he was.
Even a Doyen from the Dark Dawn wanted to accept Sun Mo as a personal student and let him inherit the Doyen’s knowledge.
As for himself?
The Green-robed Ancestor didn’t even glance at him.
Moreover, he only survived because of Sun Mo’s presence.
(How should I work hard?)
Liu Mubai had experienced several states of heart, having felt that Sun Mo wasn’t worthy to be his competitor, to being shocked, to feeling helpless and finally in despair… Every time he had been surpassed by Sun Mo, he had depended on his powerful will to awaken his intent to battle. But this time around…
(I really can’t stand this anymore! Just let me die! I’ve always been depressed and say, why would the heavens give birth to Sun Mo if it gave birth to Liu Mubai? It seems that I have severely overestimated myself. I’m not worthy of saying such words.)
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Liu Mubai +10,000. Respect (13,000/100,000).
Sun Mo cast an astonished glance at Liu Mubai after he received such a huge amount of favorable impression points.
(Have you gone crazy?)
Liu Mubai laughed helplessly. If it wasn’t for the fact that he couldn’t move, he would have bowed with clasped hands.
He decided that from now on, he would no longer compete with Sun Mo and just strictly become a pedagogue.
Actually, Liu Mubai had misunderstood this. If the Green-robed Ancestor had seen him display his talent, he would also want to recruit Liu Mubai.
“What should we do now?”
Jin Mujie was greatly anxious. Although the Green-robed Ancestor said that he would give them time until their next meeting, it actually wasn’t that far off in the future.
Now that everyone had been infected by his gu-bugs, they couldn’t control themselves. An order from the Green-robed Ancestor was sufficient to make them rush over to him.
“I might have a solution.”
Sun Mo did his utmost and stretched his hands toward his bag.
The stiff and cumbersome feeling made him feel like he was wearing armor that weighed several hundred jin.
“Y…you…”
Jin Mujie was stunned. (How can you move? Your cultivation base should be lower than mine, but I can’t even move a single finger.)
An Xinhui was astonished.
“I drank a type of honey before.”
Sun Mo used a total of five minutes to take out the tube containing the crown bee honey from his bag. After that, he gritted his teeth and bit the cork, opening it.
“What honey is this? It is so fragrant!”
“Is this honey the antidote?”
Murong Mingyue’s eyes brightened.
“Even if it is not, it has the effect of inhibiting poisons.”
Sun Mo explained.
“How did you discover this?”
Murong Mingyue was curious.
“Didn’t Lu Cangqiong control human puppets to hunt us before? I discovered that when those puppets were stung by the crown bees, they recovered some consciousness and some degree of control over their bodies. Also, have you discovered that the degree of stiffness is less than theirs?”
Sun Mo was someone good at observation. Moreover, they were in a situation where they had to fight against an unknown formidable enemy. Hence, they must not miss out on any details.
Unfortunately, Sun Mo drank 500g of honey, but his condition showed no signs of becoming better.
“I think we might really be finished this time around.”
Sun Mo bitterly smiled.
Everyone fell silent.
“If there’s really no solution, I will become the Green-robed Ancestor’s personal student, so he won’t harm any of you temporarily.”
Honestly speaking, if Sun Mo had a choice, he admired the Four Phases Starlord Duanmu Li, who had already died, even more.
“No need for that.”
An Xinhui and the other three spoke out in unison.
Great teachers regarded their morals and integrity as the most important things. By doing something like this, Sun Mo’s reputation would be tainted and he wouldn’t be able to remain in the great teacher world.
“We can’t sit and wait for death, we have to think of a solution!”
Liu Mubai analyzed. “Sun Mo, make me bleed.”
“…”
Murong Mingyue wanted to roll her eyes. “Do you dare to be even more stupid?”
The treatment method of releasing blood wouldn’t even be used by uneducated barbarians.
“Well, we are idling after all and might as well try something.”
Liu Mubai urged. “Remember to cut me deeper.”
Sun Mo didn’t do this because it was too stupid. This was simply insulting his intelligence.
“There’s another solution. I can summon Little Silver and construct a teleportation gate, allowing us to escape first before we make any further plans.”
Sun Mo thought of another idea.
“What Little Silver?”
Liu Mubai and Jin Mujie had dumbfounded looks on their faces. “From the sound of this, is he a slave of yours?”
“It’s an eight-gate cloud.”
Sun Mo was already summoning it.
“What?”
Liu Mubai’s eyes widened as disbelief filled his face. “What did you say?”
Sun Mo couldn’t be bothered to explain.
“Xinhui, did I hear wrongly?”
Jin Mujie glanced at An Xinhui. “He actually said he has an eight-gate cloud? My heavens, that is a rare species ranked #10 of the magical darkness species list. Even the word ‘priceless’ cannot describe its value.”
“In the entire Nine Provinces, I estimate that fewer than 100 people have personally seen this cloud before.”
Liu Mubai’s lips twitched.
“What do you mean by estimate? Be bolder and don’t use such a word.”
Jin Mujie berated.
Liu Mubai didn’t reply. He gulped down a mouthful of saliva and glanced at Sun Mo.
Given his understanding of Sun Mo, this fellow absolutely wouldn’t say something meaningless. Hence, didn’t that mean he really had such a rare creature?
(My heavens. Brat, you have hidden yourself really deeply!)
For a time, Liu Mubai’s gaze was filled with envy when he looked at Sun Mo. It was like a eunuch who became one at the age of six suddenly seeing a man enjoying the company of a harem of 3,000 beautiful women every night.
Was there still any heavenly justice?
(Why are you the one who takes the benefits for every good thing? I really feel like beating you up!)
“Teacher Sun, hurry up and summon Little Silver so we can admire it!”
Liu Mubai urged.. When he shouted the name ‘Little Silver’, his tone was as gentle as water as though he was conversing with his dream lover.
