Chapter 267: Unexpected Meeting
"What the heck?"
Albert was confused by the number that suddenly appeared on his hand as he immediately asked, "Bonkey? What is happening right now? Did something invade my body?"
[It’s just a remain of Spiritual Energy lingering in your body. No harm is detected.]
"So, it means that I can get rid of this remnant energy?"
[I can do it for you if you want.]
Albert thought for a moment and asked Gin through the Bonk Network while running away from the remaining monsters since he needed some clarifications first before doing anything.
*Roar!*
*Roar!*
The monsters were chasing after him. They looked so angry because their comrade had just fallen in front of them. They wanted to rip Albert apart.
On the other hand, Albert asked, "Hey, Gin. The monster gives me a remnant of Spiritual Energy in my hand. It’s creating a certain number!"
"I’m busy fighting against monsters right now, but if we’re talking about number, isn’t it like points in a game?"
"Points in a game?" Albert thought for a moment and remembered what kind of point if they were talking about games. "Ah, that kind of point? The more points you get, the better your result is?"
"Exactly. I’m trying to kill one to see if that’s true as well."
"Then, there’s no need for me to hesitate then." Albert grinned as he abruptly stopped while glaring at the monsters. He was releasing some killing intent, treating the monsters in front of him as a prey.
Even the monsters felt a chill down their spines as they also stopped, imagining their death if they took another step forward.
However, Albert had already known what he was supposed to do. There was no way he would spare a single monster in this place.
Without hesitation, he used the Anti-Horny Blink to appear behind a monster and struck them, killing the monsters one by one with his overwhelming fighting style.
The monsters even started running away because they couldn’t do anything against Albert, but ended up dying nonetheless. Albert didn’t spare a single monster as they gave him points.
283.
"Well, this is quite a high number, right? I should have killed around one hundred monsters this whole time. Some gave me one point, some gave me five points... It seems the amount of points depends on their strength." Albert muttered, assessing the situation. He also tried to talk to Gin, but stopped for a moment because Gin was still in the middle of a fight.
"Eh? Aren’t you..." Suddenly, a female’s voice echoed in his ears as someone suddenly came out of the bushes, staring at him with a dumbfounded expression.
Albert glanced to the side and found an unexpected surprise. "Mu Yanxue?"
"M-Master!" That was right, the female was actually Mu Yanxue. Lilith had turned Mu Yanxue into a slave for Albert. Her task was to infiltrate the Joyful Union Sect to delay their plan as well as to get as many information as possible.
After recognizing Albert, she immediately ran to him and kneeled. "Master."
"It’s nice to meet you." Albert nodded before noticing something off with Mu Yanxue. "Hmm? I don’t remember there’s a collar in your neck."
"The collar..." Mu Yanxue looked down, panicking.
"What’s wrong?" Albert narrowed his eyes and asked inwardly, ’Bonkey. Do you know this collar?’
[No. But I can analyze it if you touch the collar.]
Since Mu Yanxue didn’t plan to tell him, he bent his knees and touched the collar.
"M-Master!" Mu Yanxue tilted her body back as if trying to avoid Albert’s touch.
However, Albert was faster in this position and finally touched the collar.
[Analyzing.]
[Completed.]
[According to what I can find, the collar is connected to her throat. As long as there is an induction, the collar will rip apart the head.]
Albert frowned and asked, "Who put such a dangerous collar on you?"
"That’s..." Mu Yanxue hesitated because she knew she would be a trouble to her master.
"Say it." Albert pressed her for this matter because this was much more important.
Mu Yanxue bit her lips and finally told what had happened in the sect.
After returning to the sect, Mu Yanxue gave away some misleading information that Lilith had tasked her to convey.
The sect master had believed this case and started preparing for the invasion, albeit a bit delayed because there were still too many unknown causes in the continent.
Mu Yanxue was then released from her mission. It was a smooth sailing for a while before the sect master’s son abruptly entered and put this collar on her.
The collar itself was a treasure of the sect that was used to frighten someone so that they would give away the truth. However, Lilith’s mind control was much greater than this collar since she really affected her mind.
So, the truth she gave him was the same truth that she told the sect master. Even so, the sect master’s son kept torturing her as if not believing that wasn’t the truth. In the end, she realized that the sect master’s son actually believed, he just liked to torture people.
The only reason why he targeted Mu Yanxue was due to the fact that she had gone to the other continent. She wanted to know the beauty of that continent so that he could ruin them when they invaded. That information was precious to him after all.
Even Albert felt disgusted when Mu Yanxue mentioned him.
"Yanxue deserves to die. Yanxue doesn’t deserve Master’s kindness." Mu Yanxue kneeled and even placed her head on the ground.
"..." Albert thought for a moment and asked Bonkey again, ’Can we remove this collar, Bonkey?’
[There should be a kind of remote control to remove it. As long as you get it, you can remove the collar.]
"Hmm..." Albert looked at Mu Yanxue. Although they were enemies in the past, even he felt pity. She also had been useful for him and Lilith.
In the end, Albert placed his paw on top of Mu Yanxue’s head as if to console him.
"Eh?" Mu Yanxue’s body trembled, never expecting this kind of action from Albert.
"From now on, just follow me. Well, becoming a companion will give me a lot of trouble, how about following me as a maid? Although I can’t provide you much right now, I can still give you some protection and promise to take that collar off." Albert smiled.
Mu Yanxue lifted her head, looking at Albert dumbfoundedly. "Master..."
She realized that this was also an opportunity for her. She immediately lowered her head again. "Yanxue is willing!"
