Chapter 70: Kill Whoever You Want

“Roar!”

“Boom!”

On Shunan Mountain, a monster beast with an alligator head and dragon-like wings let out an angry roar in defiance.

But before it could finish its roar, it was struck by a little boy’s punch to the head, burying its face into the dirt.

[You have defeated the Flying Crocodile Dragon. Strength +5, Vitality +7, Beast Intimidation +2]

Xu Ming stood atop the flying crocodile dragon’s head, straightening up and exhaling deeply.

Just moments ago, they were attacked by three monster beasts.

Yanhan frowned, clearly reluctant.

The flying crocodile dragon lunged at Yin, who froze in terror, collapsing onto the ground, paralyzed with fear.

At such times, losing one person means losing some fighting power, increasing personal danger. Worse still, someone like Yin might become a burden.

At the Thousand Caves Peak of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect,

“Yin, when the fight starts, find a place to hide. We might not be able to protect you.”

As expected, there’s a cave about five hundred meters away where the thunderstorm bear resides.

“Hehehe…” Li Han squatted down like a money-obsessed maniac, picking up a coin from beneath Xiong Hai’s foot, wiping it clean before pocketing it.

Xiong Hai can’t figure out why he hoards so much money.

Actually, Yin wants to help, but every time he faces these terrifying beasts, his body betrays him.

“Hmm.” Jiang Luoyu nodded, “It’s time for you to test your sword.”

“What’s wrong?” Xiong Hai became cautious.

Monster beasts mark their territory with excrement as a warning to intruders.

“You should visit Xinping County.”

While observing the surroundings, everyone cautiously ascended the mountain.

“Let’s go,” Yanhan reached up and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, heading directly up the mountain, followed by everyone else.

Even against a fourth-stage monster beast, they’re confident they can kill it with a single punch!

“Cough cough… Young friends, this isn’t good.”

With so many monster beasts on Shunan Mountain, I fear that if I leave, Yin will end up as monster droppings.

I just don’t understand.

The Blood Floating Pagoda pays five times more than other armies in the Wu Kingdom, with food, lodging, and martial arts resources provided by the army. He doesn’t lack money, does he?

But Li Han is so stingy, wanting to split a copper coin into five parts. When they previously arrived at Xinping County, this guy ate beef noodles without the beef, just the noodles.

A man hiding under the bear’s fur?!

“At this point, what’s the use of talking? Finish the mission first.”

Normally, his cowardice doesn’t matter.

“Xinping County?”

What kind of teammates do I have?

It was timely that Xu Ming threw Yin out, fighting the flying crocodile dragon alone.

“Everyone, stay focused, we’re almost there,” Xu Ming reminded.

One loves money more than life.

When they were about to succeed, a voice came from beneath the giant bear.

“I say, Little Yin, can you tell me how you passed the selection? Did you really sell yourself to the examiner?”

“Wait!”

“Brother, step back,” Li Han said seriously.

“Ahh? Hmm…”

Though Yin also wanted to help, he knew going in would only cause more trouble.

As four people entered the cave, the snoring sound of the thunderstorm bear grew louder.

“You…” Xiong Hai was speechless, slapping Li Han on the back of the head, “Do you know how scared I was because of that one coin?”

They couldn’t leave Yin here alone.

Walking along, Li Han suddenly shouted softly, stopping Xiong Hai with a hand gesture.

Li Han and the others understood Xu Ming’s meaning and mimicked him, smearing themselves with feces.

Xiong Hai stepped back.

Sitting on a stone, the girl slowly opened her eyes: “Master.”

Li Han said helplessly to Yin.

In front of the girl floated her Life-Bonded Flying Sword, Qingming, already sharpened.

“Die, you greedy bastard,” Xiong Hai sighed.

Listening to Xu Ming, Xiong Hai and Li Han quickly refocused.

“Alright, let’s keep moving. Yin has been timid for quite a while now,” Xu Ming glanced at the map; the thunderstorm bear’s nest wasn’t far away.

As Xu Ming and the others approached, the smell of bear feces carried by the wind grew stronger.

“I… I…” Yin lowered his head, cheeks flushed red.

The sect master of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, Jiang Luoyu, walked through a waterfall curtain into a cave.

Inside the cave were scattered bones of various animals and monsters, and even human skulls.

At noon, Xu Ming and his group had arrived at the peach forest marked on the map.

“Alright, let’s hurry, aiming to return to Xinping County before sunset.”

At the bottom of the cave, a little girl sat cross-legged on a cold stone, motionless.

Xu Ming smeared himself with the thunderstorm bear’s feces.

“Hmph,” Yanhan coldly sniffed, though extremely unwilling, she still smeared herself with the feces.

Reaching the clearing in front of the cave, the thunderstorm bear seemed to be sleeping, its loud snores emanating from the cave entrance.

In contrast, Yin hid behind a tree, trembling non-stop.

“Wu Brother, stop being picky. Come on, we’re all tough guys. We’ll wash up later. Look, even Little Yin, the sissy, has smeared himself,” Li Han said.

Li Han didn’t get angry, just chuckled happily: “This is a coin, after all.”

Meanwhile, Li Han and Xiong Hai each defeated a monster beast.

One is as timid as a mouse.

Xiong Hai harbored some resentment.

“Are you implying that I’m worse than a sissy?” Yanhan frowned.

“We’re leaving,” Xu Ming said, “Yin, stay at the cave entrance, don’t come in. If the bear wakes up, we can’t protect you.”

Upon reaching the innermost part, there lay a roughly five-meter-tall bear sleeping on the ground.

After finishing, everyone looked at Wu Yanhan standing motionless.

Xu Ming interrupted Xiong Hai.

Xu Ming and the others exchanged glances, nodded, took a deep breath, and leaped, using all their strength to strike the giant bear’s head!

“No, no, I didn’t say that,” Li Han quickly stepped back, fearing a punch.

Xuenuo tilted her head, “Who should I try my sword on?”

Jiang Luoyu patted Xuenuo’s head, “In Xinping County, whoever you want to kill, you may.”
