The moment the green blood touched the center of his brows, Su Ming immediately felt a strong presence. That presence was filled with death. It was as if there were countless wails echoing in his heart. At that moment, the green blood seemed to have gained intelligence and wanted to break free from Su Ming's hands. It wanted to rush into the center of Su Ming's brows and into his body.
Su Ming focused his gaze. He circulated his Qi and immediately chased away the presence of death. At the same time, he also blocked the green blood that wanted to enter his body. He held the ball of blood in his right hand and lifted it from the center of his brows. The moment it left his body, a strange light appeared in Su Ming's eyes.
'This item should have been formed by practicing a unique Berserker Art. It's important to those who practice that Art, but to others, it'll cause harm to them.' Su Ming fell silent for a moment before he made his decision. His original guess that Wu Sen's weakness was due to losing the Blood of Corpses had increased from 50% to 30%. It might not be 100%, but 80% was enough.
In truth, his judgment was accurate. If he forcefully absorbed the Blood of Corpses, it would cause him great harm. Even if there were some benefits to it, it would not be worth it once he weighed the pros and cons.
He placed the blood back into the bottle and waved his right hand at the bottle. Immediately, a ray of moonlight appeared and turned into threads that surrounded the bottle. Su Ming put the bottle away in his bosom, stood up, and walked out of the room.
The moon was in the sky. The shape of the moon was not curved, but slightly round. It looked as if there would be a real full moon in the next few days.
Su Ming took a deep breath and once again went through the thoughts that had appeared in his head. A glint appeared in his eyes and he walked out of the house in the middle of the night. It was quiet all around him. There was not a single sound.
The moment he walked out of Dark Mountain Tribe's lodgings in Wind Stream City, Su Ming's heart suddenly leapt. At that moment, a cold voice came from behind him.
"It's so late, where are you going?!"
Su Ming stopped and turned around. He saw a man walking towards him from the dark corner of the door. His face was normal, but there was a cold glint in his narrowed eyes. It was Dark Mountain Tribe's Shan Hen!
"Greetings, chief of the hunters." Su Ming's expression did not change as he looked at Shan Hen walking towards him.
"I'm asking you a question." Shan Hen walked out slowly and stood ten feet away from Su Ming, staring at him coldly.
"I heard from big brother Bei Ling that Wind Stream City is very lively at night. That's why I want to go and take a look." Su Ming was alarmed but his face was filled with anxiety as he quickly spoke.
Shan Hen looked at Su Ming for a long time before nodding his head slowly.
"It's not safe at night. Remember not to cause trouble and come back early." Shan Hen said slowly. As the leader of the hunting party in the tribe, he was also a powerful warrior who came with the elder. Protecting the tribesmen in the tribe was his responsibility. Therefore, what he said was very normal.
Su Ming obeyed. Once he bowed towards Shan Hen, he retreated slowly and turned around to walk into the distance. He could feel that Shan Hen was still watching him from behind.
He had only taken a few steps when all the hairs on Su Ming's body suddenly stood up. He could clearly feel a strong pressure coming towards him. It turned into a sense of danger and locked onto his body.
The Qi in his body also started circulating on its own to fight back against the pressure. Su Ming knew that this was an instinctive reaction of a Berserker. Due to the presence of Qi in their bodies, it was difficult for them to hide their Qi when they were suddenly stimulated. They would naturally fight back against it.
If it was a normal tribe member, this feeling would not be so strong. Only Berserkers would be able to feel it so clearly. This was also a method to test whether someone was hiding their power. However, it was only effective when powerful Berserkers in the higher ranks of the Blood Solidification Realm fought against those who were weaker than them.
Shan Hen's level of cultivation was much higher than Su Ming's. That was why Su Ming would not have been able to resist his sudden actions before the test. However, it would not have caught anyone's attention. He had the elder's Concealment Art. Even if the Qi in his body was activated, no one would be able to notice it.
Yet now, Su Ming could already control all the Qi in his body through fine control with his mind. He did not hesitate. The moment the Qi in his body was about to be triggered, he calmly circulated his Qi with a single thought. This was something that would be difficult for other people to do, but for Su Ming, who had understood fine control with his mind, it was not difficult.
However, while he could hide his Qi and not move it, the instinctive actions of the body when it was suddenly in danger would often become the focus of other people's attention.
That was what Shan Hen had been observing.
However, he had underestimated Su Ming. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that he had not paid much attention to Su Ming over the years. He did not understand Su Ming. Almost at the instant that sense of danger arrived, Su Ming did not stop for even a single moment. It was as if he was completely unaware of it. He walked forward at a moderate pace and gradually disappeared into the night.
When Su Ming disappeared into the distance, Shan Hen slowly frowned. He did not continue standing there. Instead, he turned around and returned to his lodgings in the tribe.
His actions were not out of line. In fact, he did it right in front of the elder, so no one would think that he was doing it with ulterior motives. Instead, it seemed like he was doing it in an open and aboveboard manner. It would make people think that he had his suspicions, and that was why he was testing him.
Su Ming maintained his calm pace until he was far into the distance. Then, he could not help but run a few steps faster. His heart pounded against his chest. During that instant, when Shan Hen was looking at him, he found the vague and mysterious observer who had appeared when he meditated for the past few days!
'It's him!' Su Ming frowned. He remembered the elder mentioning that there was a traitor in the tribe. The elder might not have mentioned it in detail, but Su Ming could tell that he was worried.
'Is it him..?' Su Ming hesitated. The position of the chief of the hunters was very high. He held a lot of power in the tribe. He controlled all the Berserkers in the hunting team and even had the great responsibility of capturing beasts for the tribe.
Besides, in Su Ming's memories, Shan Hen had done a lot for the tribe over the years. He might have seemed cold and aloof, but in truth, Su Ming had seen him walking around the tribe with a cold demeanor. He would often give some of the prey he hunted to the older members of the tribe.
He had once gone up the mountain personally and brought back a lot of beast teeth because the children in the tribe liked them. Even though he was still cold when he gave them to the La Sus, Su Ming noticed a hint of kindness in his eyes.
In Su Ming's memories, there was one winter when a few members of the hunting team were ambushed by the people from Black Mountain Tribe. They escaped with heavy injuries and one of them died. At that time, Shan Hen walked out alone with a cold expression on his face. When he came back the next day, he held the heads of three Berserkers from Black Mountain Tribe in his hands.
If it were not for the elder's strength at that time, a war might have broken out between the tribe and Black Mountain Tribe.
The scenes of the past flashed through Su Ming's mind. He could not find any reason why Shan Hen would be a traitor. To him, there was no way a chief of the hunters would betray the tribe …
'Perhaps … I'm thinking too much.' Su Ming let out a sigh of relief in his silence. He walked forward quietly. Gradually, his face changed. His body became stronger and his clothes also changed. Very soon, when he walked out of the darkness, Su Ming turned into the famous and mysterious Mo Su of Wind Stream City!
With a single move, he charged towards the deeper parts of Wind Stream City with a shocking speed.
It was easy to find Wu Sen's house. Once Su Ming turned into Mo Su, he only needed to ask around and he would know where it was. Besides, even though he was famous in Wind Stream City, there were only a few hundred people who had seen him before. That was why he did not catch anyone's attention.
The Wind Stream Tribe member who told Su Ming where Wu Sen lived also did not know that the person before him was Su Ming, the one who shocked the world with a single feat!
The reason why he told Su Ming where Wu Sen lived was because Su Ming had taken out one of the few stone coins he had. Besides, the Wind Stream Tribe member was already used to it. During this period of time, he knew that there were a lot of people from other tribes who would fight to be the first to visit the prodigies of Wind Stream.
However, even though there were a lot of people who came to visit, there were not many who were actually summoned.
Wu Sen's house was located in a corner on the eastern side of the mudstone city. It was very quiet there, especially at night when it was completely dark. There might be lights, but they were few and scattered. Only with the help of the moonlight could the outlines of the houses be seen.
Among the many mudstone houses, there was one house that took up a lot of space. It also had its own courtyard, which was clearly different from the other houses. That was Wu Sen's house.
As one of the prodigies of Wind Stream Tribe, Wu Sen's status was very high. It was only natural that his house was different. There were four rooms in his courtyard, and in the middle of the night, there was a gloomy atmosphere in the silence.
The courtyard was big but empty. Under the moonlight, it was as if there was a bleak and deathly stillness.
The four houses were all dark, as if there was no one inside. In the past, this was not the case. There would be Wu Sen's followers guarding the house at all times to show how unique and special Wu Sen was.
Yet now, there was no one around. Su Ming did not know whether it was because Wu Sen's ranking had fallen and those people had left, or because he did not want others to notice his weakness and chased them all away.
Su Ming stood hundreds of feet away from the courtyard. In the silence, his shadow was stretched out by the moonlight and gradually blended into the darkness around him.
Su Ming looked at the courtyard before him and fell silent for a moment before he slowly walked forward. When he got close to the door to the courtyard, he pushed it open without any hesitation. The moment the wooden door was pushed open, a creaking sound broke the silence and spread out in all directions.
Yet the four houses in the courtyard remained quiet, as if they did not notice anything. It was as if there was really no one inside.
Yet when Su Ming was outside, he could feel a presence of Qi in the second house. From the strength of that Qi, Su Ming could tell that it was around the fifth level of the Blood Solidification Realm. It was slightly weaker than when he had looked at Wu Sen during the day, but when he remembered that Wu Sen's weakness should have lasted for a long time, he understood.
