Aaaaaargh!!!
In that very moment, Mu Wanqiu felt as if a lion was roaring in her heart.
Clenching her fists, she punched the air a few times.
Jiang He turned to look at Mu Wanqiu in surprise, and quickly shrunk back, saying, "Tell me the truth, Mu Wanqiu. Do you have some mental illness?"
After all, boys had to protect themselves when they were outside.
"You're the mental one!"
Mu Wanqiu cursed, lying down on the other side of the tent. There was no going out, and what if that caterpillar passed by again … just the thought of it left her scalp numb!
A little peeved.
That was why Mu Wanqiu turned her back and lay down on her side as well.
There was very little space in the single tent, and both of them were almost touching as they lay back to back. All Mu Wanqiu could feel was her blood pumping faster, and her heart pounding without stopping.
But soon …
Phew ~
Steady breathing could be heard from behind her. Mu Wanqiu's eyes widened, and she could not help cursing through clenched teeth, "How could you fall asleep with a beauty like me sleeping beside you? Does Jiang He have a problem with his sexual orientation?"
… …
Meanwhile, Jiang He had entered a sweet dream, while Mu Wanqiu was having trouble falling asleep.
Over at Helan County, Pudgy Jiang was leading some people to search for the location of the nuclear rocket launcher explosion.
"Be careful. The radiation within forty-eight hours after the explosion is still very powerful, so wear radiation suits and shield your body with True Qi. Take qi pellets right away if your True Qi runs out."
He was giving instructions loudly from nearby.
Reasonably speaking, he should be doing it himself since his cultivation was the highest, but Pudgy Jiang found that he could not put on the radiation suit at all after trying it out.
"Chief Jiang, there's a charred thigh bone here!"
One of the martial artists cried out. Nearby, someone else was holding a skull.
Someone else had picked up an Elder's Token Plate.
Even the Elder's Token Plate was deformed by the intense heat at the center of the explosion. Pudgy Jiang took the Token Plate and stared at it for a long time before breathing a long sigh. "Third Elder of the Sky Demon Cult … isn't his death a little too tragic? Not even his corpse was left intact? "
Not only was his corpse not intact?
The flesh and blood were all gone, and the bones were all over the place.
After pondering for a while, Pudgy Jiang said again, "Expand the search area and continue searching. With such a huge explosion, the person who fired the cannon will definitely not be able to escape!"
Gritting his teeth, his eyes bloodshot as he seethed in grief and rage, "Jiang He has killed the Third Elder and the Sixth Elder of the Sky Demon Cult, as well as the Four Grands of Sky Pain, Sky Killer, Sky Crime, and Sky Bound, as well as the Five Heavenly Generals of Earth Demon, Earth Gloom, Earth Might, Earth Fury, and Earth Diction. His corpse must be found and properly buried!"
…
At the same time,
One figure after another entered the Helan Mountains from different directions.
There were a total of thirty to forty people, each of them acting suspiciously. They were quite strong, and their leader was a grade-seven Martial Dao Grandmaster.
"Blessed Heavenly General!"
Soon, dozens of them had gathered, with the others kneeling on one knee and shouting 'Blessed Heavenly General' … clearly, they were Sky Demon Cultists as well.
That rank-seven Martial Dao Grandmaster was the Blessed Heavenly General, one of the seventy-two Fiends of the Sky Demon Cult.
Although the Blessed Heavenly General and the Tranquil Heavenly General only differed by a single word, the Blessed Heavenly General was a little stronger in ability.
He had been lurking in Western Xia all this time and was in charge of the Sky Demon Cultists lurking in the shadows, which was why he did not join the assault on Lingzhou City. Even so, the Blessed Heavenly General was aware of all information regarding Lingzhou City.
That was why he had been living in fear recently, afraid that the leaders of the Sky Demon Cult would have a stroke and have him fight that fearsome Jiang He.
Today, when he received Guilty Star's call, the Blessed Heavenly General was almost scared to death.
Fortunately …
Guilty Star soon stated his intentions, and only then did the Blessed Heavenly General breathe a long sigh of relief and a little excited.
After musing to himself for a moment, the Blessed Heavenly General then said, "Everyone, it was not my order to gather everyone here today."
"Not long ago, I received notice that Guilty Exalt, Bound Exalt, and the Third Elder have come to Helan Mountain to retrieve a treasure. We've come here to assist the three of them," said the old man.
The eyes of the dozens of Sky Demon Cult members lit up at that.
On the other hand, the Blessed Heavenly General laughed out loud. "It would be a great merit if we could help the three of you obtain the treasure, and our futures would be limitless if we were groomed by the three of you in the future. Moreover, with the three of you here, how difficult would it be for them to deal with that God of Slaughter of Lingzhou City?"
That was right.
The Sky Demon Cultists lurking around Western Xia had completely taken Jiang He as the God of Death and lived in fear every day, afraid that the day would come when he would come for them.
And now, everyone was excited.
With the three of them here, that God of Death …
He would definitely die!
Suddenly, one of the Sky Demon Cultists asked meekly, "Blessed Heavenly General, where are Third Elder and the two Grands?"
The Blessed Heavenly General smiled as he whipped out a satellite phone.
Normal phones would have no signal in the mountains, but satellite phones would not be affected. Most importantly, the satellite phones the Holy Faith had equipped would not be monitored by national departments … and it was said that the Holy Faith had launched the satellites themselves.
Filled with anticipation, he dialed Bound Star's number.
Be that as it may …
The phone kept ringing until it hung up on its own, but no one answered.
The Blessed Heavenly General's expression changed, and he dialed again, only to receive the same result …
Still, he did not know that Jiang He had thrown away the phone he found when he searched Bound Star's corpse!
The Blessed Heavenly General's expression turned ugly as an ominous feeling arose in his heart. Even so, his rationality told him that nothing could have happened to Third Elder and the two Grands given their strength.
Hence, he said somberly, "Third Elder and the two Grands must be busy and unable to answer the phone. Everyone, split up and search, and we'll meet back here in two hours."
The many Sky Demon Cultists hence scattered and crawled into the night.
The Blessed Heavenly General picked a direction, but did not find any trace after looking around, and so promptly returned.
Soon.
The many Sky Demon Cultists returned, with one of them saying with a pale face, "I found signs of battle fifteen kilometers away …"
Suddenly, someone cried out in surprise, "Hold on, where are Old Wang and Young Zhang?"
…
By the mountain stream.
Beside the stream.
Jiang He stared at the two corpses on the ground, all drowsiness gone.
"Those Sky Demon Cultists," he seethed through clenched teeth, "Disturbing my sleep in the middle of the night. What are they up to?"
"Big kitty!"
Jiang He barked, and soon, the black panther stepped out of the distant night. "Go," he seethed, "and get rid of every Sky Demon Cultist. Aren't you the Feral King of Mount Helan? Have your subordinates gather some mutated plants for me. "
He learned from the black panther that the black wood-ears were not the only mutated plants in Mount Helan.
It was said that there was a certain violet mushroom that had mutated as well.
The black panther retreated into the night.
It reared its head and bellowed in rage, and soon, many Ferals rushed to it from various parts of the mountain forest. Around half an hour later, there were faint cries of pain and the sounds of battle echoing in the distance.
He checked the time.
It was already past three in the morning. Jiang He entered his tent and woke Mu Wanqiu, who had fallen asleep after much difficulty, saying, "Alright, don't sleep anymore. Pack your things and get ready to go back."
The black panther returned around four in the morning.
There were several blade marks over its body, left from its fight against the Blessed Heavenly General.
It was holding two violet mushrooms that were the size of a bowl in its mouth.
Behind the black panther were dozens of Ferocious Beasts. The weakest of these Ferocious Beasts was Level Two, and the strongest was Level Six. Each of these Ferocious Beasts was either holding strangely shaped mushrooms or black fungus the size of a washbasin in their mouths.
Jiang He walked up and put away the black wood-ears and mushrooms. Then, he scanned the crowd of Ferals and noticed that there were two other panther-type Ferals, one rank-six and the other rank-five. Both were majestic and handsome.
"Black panther, I'm ready to bring you home for a good time. If that's the case, I can't treat your tribe poorly. How about this: you should bring your two brethren along as well."
Seeing that the black panther was hesitating, Jiang He whipped out his Dragon-Slaying Saber with a turn of his hand and smiled. "It's fine if you don't agree. It's the same even if I cut you down and transport your corpses back."
Shuddering, the black panther quickly nodded and growled at the two Ferals.
And just as he had expected.
Ferals and humans were essentially the same.
Trying to reason with them with your mouth would never work, and they would only listen if you whipped out your blade.
Soon.
An off-road vehicle drove out from the foot of Mount Helan.
Behind it, the three black panthers were running wildly in hot pursuit.
After a dozen minutes, Jiang He suddenly said, "Slow down, there's someone up ahead … eh? Isn't that Pudgy Jiang? "
…
Up ahead.
Pudgy Jiang flew into a rage and bellowed, "Search! Search carefully! Dig three feet into the ground! Jiang He was some distance away from the center of the explosion and shouldn't have died without a whole corpse! There must be something left behind!"
