Chapter 630: Chapter 437: Who is the Prey?
Having failed to find the mastermind behind the skeleton forest, Dong Tianyu gave up on the idea. He watched the motorcycle team leader struggling within the skeleton forest and, using his Flying Swords, silently flew to a spot ahead of where the team leader was heading. Then, he unleashed a powerful Sword Energy Slash, parting the skeleton forest down the middle.
This Sword Energy Slash carved out a path to the outside world. Following this, the motorcycle team leader broke through the bone woods before him and saw the path Dong Tianyu had just created with his Sword Qi. A look of ecstatic joy appeared on his face, and he immediately accelerated, dashing straight towards the outside.
As he was fleeing at full speed, he noticed the path that had inexplicably appeared before him was gradually narrowing. Fortunately, his cultivation level was not low, and since he wasn’t far from the outside world, he managed to escape just as the path within the skeleton forest was about to close up.
Looking back at the skeleton forest, he realized the path that allowed him to escape had disappeared, which made him feel the relief of a narrow escape.
After calming his emotions, he reflected on his recent experience and realized that someone must have helped him from the shadows, or else a direct path to the outside world wouldn’t have appeared before him.
Considering that person was willing to lend a hand yet chose not to reveal themselves, he wondered why they did not step forward to let him know who his lifesaver was.
At the moment, he was unaware that his savior was still stealthily observing his every move from the sky.
When he came to his senses and saw that the skeleton forest, which should have been far away, had somehow closed in on him, the motorcycle team leader instantly understood why he had been running for so long without leaving the area enshrouded by the skeleton forest.
Having left the skeleton forest, the motorcycle team leader did not want to get trapped in it again, so he immediately ran in the direction of Kyoto.
The model bus that could take people in was, in Dong Tianyu’s guess, probably a treasure. It seemed to have been refined by an Awakener, and even so, Dong Tianyu was still very curious about it.
So, watching the motorcycle team leader depart and with nothing else to do, Dong Tianyu controlled his sword and followed in the air as the man retreated.
After the motorcycle team leader had moved away from the location of the skeleton forest, he found an open space to take out the book that guarded his chest, and then turned to the page where the model bus was depicted.
The motorcycle team leader cut his finger and, using his blood, wrote a line of text on the album. The model bus, which had been integrated into the page as a picture, reverted from the illustration back into a physical object.
The motorcycle team leader cautiously placed the model bus on the ground, then carefully tapped on the front windshield of the model bus a few times, before rapidly retreating.
After the motorcycle team leader gave the signal, the tiny model bus began to grow slowly. When the model bus became as large as a regular bus,
Dong Tianyu observed the situation inside through his Divine Sense. At this moment, all the passengers on the bus were securely fastened in their seats by seat belts.
Gina, sitting in the driver’s seat, easily unbuckled herself and then stood up and walked off the bus, approaching the motorcycle team leader.
She said to the motorcycle team leader, as if to claim credit, "We’ve got quite a haul this time. If we sell everything, we might make a good profit!"
Seeing the greedy expression on Gina’s face, the motorcycle team leader affectionately ruffled her hair, then laughed and said, "What are you talking about? Your teammates are still inside; how can we sell them all?"
Hearing her leader’s response, Gina said innocently, "So what? These people were only recruited recently. I don’t know what they’re thinking, always insisting on venturing into the wilderness once they’ve made some progress in cultivation.
They never consider why the Hunting Team in the guild is always recruiting non-stop. This should tell you that the hunting teams suffer heavy casualties; otherwise, many hunting teams wouldn’t always be understaffed.
They really think they’re geniuses, believing after a few outings with us, they’ll become experts. Brother, don’t you think they’re foolish? Each of them has already been given a motorcycle, and they’re still expecting more in the future.
I still remember the slogan used for anti-fraud awareness before the catastrophe: ’You’re focused on the high interest they offer, while they’re focused on your principal.’
They don’t consider whether they even deserve a motorcycle as soon as they join."
Listening to his sister’s endless complaints, the motorcycle team leader just smiled quietly and listened without any intention of interrupting.
When Gina had talked herself hoarse, she turned to see her brother, looking at her with indulgent eyes, handing her a cup of hot water. After drinking it in one gulp, she asked, "Brother, what should we do next?"
After contemplating for a while at his sister’s question, the motorcycle team leader closed his eyes, then opened them to speak, "If it’s just the two of us, can they hear inside?"
"They can’t hear at all. Despite them sitting in the bus, the inside and the outside world are separate spaces. So no matter how special their abilities are, unless someone among them has the ability to listen across realms, they can only resign themselves to sitting in their seats," she replied.
