Upon hearing the tone of the scarab flaunting, Sun Mo knew that this fellow had made a big discovery.
"Go!"
Sun Mo stood up.
"Master, have you never done anything bad before? Don't you understand disguise? This is the first time I've seen someone come looking for trouble so openly. "
The scarab sneered in disdain.
"If we kill them all, and there are no witnesses, we won't need to disguise ourselves anymore, right?"
Sun Mo counter-asked.
"…"
The Sacred Beetle stared blankly for a moment before feeling incomparable admiration. 'Humans are truly shameless. Even an evil fellow like me has to concede defeat in front of you.'
"Looks like I'll have to prepare a black suit and a mask in the future. Speaking of which, the red one should look good, right?"
It wasn't that Sun Mo didn't want to disguise himself. It was just that he didn't know how to do it.
Borrowing the cover of the night, Sun Mo executed the Wind King Divine Steps, his body as light as a swallow as he traversed through the roofs of the residences in Jinling City. He suddenly felt as if he had become a martial arts expert who could leap onto roofs and vault over walls.
It was just that the sounds coming from the house below were a bit of a wet blanket.
Some were beating and scolding children, some were quarreling between husband and wife, and some were having a secret rendezvous. Honestly speaking, when Sun Mo heard the moaning sounds coming from below, he almost stopped to admire it.
Speaking of which, the biggest problem after coming to Jinling was that he couldn't watch the short movies.
"My 80G!"
Sun Mo hesitated like a dried salted fish. He had already lost his dreams.
"Dalang, it's time to take your medicine!"
All of a sudden, a sentence drifted into Sun Mo's ears, startling him so much that he almost fell off the roof.
"What the hell?"
Sun Mo slowed down his footsteps and found the house where the sound came from. After that, he was like Spiderman, hanging upside down under the eaves and peering inside through the screen window.
A lamp as small as a bean!
It was a gentle-looking woman who was taking care of her man who had been sick for a long time.
No matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like a murder.
"Mother Gan, I'm just being oversensitive."
Sun Mo pinched the center of his brows. After all, women like Pan Jinlian were rare.
Very soon, Sun Mo left Jinling City and sped through the eastern suburbs. A moment later, he felt depressed.
"How much further?"
Although my stamina is good, I can't waste it like this.
"About a dozen li!"
The scarab estimated.
Sun Mo suddenly stopped.
"What happened?"
The scarab was puzzled. "With your physique, running this distance is no different from warming up, right?"
"More importantly, why should I run when I have a mount?"
Sun Mo counter-asked.
"…"
The scarab was speechless. Just how lazy are you? Can't I just take it as a night run?
Wait, why are you looking at me like that?
The mount you mentioned?
Could it not be that cloud?
"Little Silver, come quickly. Master is tired and wants to ride on a cloud!"
The Sacred Beetle used its spirit to communicate with the Eight Gate Cloud. It had an exuberant desire to survive.
"Stop shouting. Aren't you right here?"
Sun Mo smiled.
"As expected …"
The scarab curled its lips and made a final struggle. "No matter what, I'm still the guardian of Egypt. Even the members of the royal family have to pay their respects to me. I've never done something like riding a mount before, and I'm not familiar with it. I'm worried that I'll hurt my master. That would be a great sin."
"It's fine. I'll get used to it eventually!"
Sun Mo didn't mind.
"…"
The Scarab cursed in its heart. It really wanted to curse out loud. It felt like it wasn't just an emergency ride once in a while. You want to ride me for a lifetime?
(How can you be so shameless?)
"Master, with my identity, it won't be good if the people see me as a mount."
The Sacred Beetle pleaded, "I'm also a beetle that wants face!"
"Don't worry, there are no people from Egypt here. They don't know that you are the Sacred Beetle. Even if they see you, I'll be the one who will be embarrassed."
Sun Mo shrugged. "After all, even if I'm a prince, people will roll their eyes at me if I ride a dung beetle."
"In that case, don't ride me anymore!"
The Sacred Beetle roared madly in its heart. However, it didn't dare to retort because it discovered that Sun Mo's patience was about to run out.
"Hurry up, stop talking nonsense."
Sun Mo urged.
"Why the f * ck am I being so talkative?"
The Sacred Beetle wanted to slap itself.
"Don't be depressed. Did you discover the nest of the enemy? After we destroy it, I'll allow you to eat your fill. "
Sun Mo wasn't so heartless.
By doing this, he was taming the Sacred Beetle. He had to give it both carrots and sticks.
"Master, look at how wide my back is. It's the most suitable for people to rely on. I guarantee that it'll be stable."
The Sacred Beetle's expression immediately changed and it recommended itself with a charming smile.
The contract emblem on the back of Sun Mo's hand glowed with a bright purple light. After it dissipated, a Sacred Beetle the size of a jeep was left behind.
Under the night sky, it was shrouded in a dense purple mist. It looked mysterious and magnificent.
"Master, sit tight!"
After Sun Mo leaped onto its back, the Sacred Beetle immediately started running. "Let's go!"
(Is this called going for a ride?)
The Sacred Beetle traversed the mountains as though it was on flat ground. Maybe it wanted to eat the brain matter, but it actually started to play tricks. When it turned a corner, it didn't reduce its speed and directly drifted.
In any case, it wanted to make its master happy.
"..."
Sun Mo was dumbfounded when he saw the Sacred Beetle moving its legs, kicking up a large amount of dust. (Are you not afraid of becoming crippled?)
A scholar who was rushing to the capital wiped the sweat off his forehead and supported himself against a tree as he panted.
It was the height of summer now, and it would be cooler to walk at night. Also, the bandits were also lazier and would be sleeping in their lair. Hence, it was safer.
The only trouble was that there were more jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards. But if they walked on the main road, there shouldn't be any problems.
"After I pass the imperial examination, I must buy a thousand-li horse!"
The scholar rubbed his sore calves. All of a sudden, his expression turned sluggish as he stared into the distance.
It was because a gigantic bug was rushing across the main road at lightning speed.
"There's actually a person on top of that bug?"
The scholar was shocked and rubbed his eyes.
"Speaking of which, that seems to be a dung beetle, right? But why does it look so handsome? "
All of a sudden, the scholar didn't feel like buying a thousand-li horse anymore. But where could he buy such a bug?
(I really want it!)
(If I can ride such a beautiful bug on a horse, no, I'll definitely be the most dazzling child among the imperial scholars.)
"Master, there's a human over there!"
The Sacred Beetle turned its head and licked its mouth. "Can I have an additional meal? After all, I'm tired after running for so long. "
"Scram!"
Sun Mo's words were concise and comprehensive.
...
When the Sacred Beetle slowed down and started to avoid the main road, Sun Mo knew that they were about to arrive at the enemy's nest.
As expected, over ten minutes later, a manor that was like the fangs of a ferocious beast appeared at the foot of a huge mountain.
"Master, those black-robed assassins have all entered this place."
The Sacred Beetle wanted to claim credit. "I've investigated a little, and it seems to be the courtyard of a king."
"King?"
Sun Mo frowned. He wanted to go forward to check, but he was worried that he would expose his tracks and be seen by the enemy.
"Master, don't you know how to use spirit bug vision?"
The Sacred Beetle was surprised.
"What's that?"
Sun Mo was curious.
"It's a spirit controller borrowing the vision of his battle pet to observe the world."
After the Sacred Beetle finished its introduction, it started to guide Sun Mo.
For the sake of this brain juice supper, it was going all out.
Ten minutes later.
"Understood!"
Sun Mo sat cross-legged and calmed his mind. He released a strand of his consciousness from the center of his brows and channeled it into the Sacred Beetle's mind.
BOOM!
Sun Mo's mind trembled. His vision instantly sank into darkness. This lasted for about six to seven seconds before his vision lit up again.
However, the scene in front of him had changed.
Firstly, his vision had become higher. Also, the surrounding scenery was colorful and abnormally eye-catching. He could also see very far.
Sun Mo soon understood that he could be considered to be sharing the Sacred Beetle's vision. This meant that he could see everything it saw.
"Master, you learn so fast!"
The Sacred Beetle praised.
"Even if you bootlick, you wouldn't be able to get the second supper."
Sun Mo's lips twitched.
"Eh, Master, am I such a bug?"
The Sacred Beetle felt wronged, but it was cursing in its heart. (You stingy b * stard, you don't even give me a supper.)
"Stop talking nonsense. Quickly get down to business!"
Sun Mo urged.
The Sacred Beetle's body emitted purple fog. A few seconds later, when the fog dissipated, the Sacred Beetle had already disappeared.
If one took a closer look, they would see that it had shrunk to the size of a fingernail. It flapped its wings and flew toward the manor. After that, when it flew past the gate, Sun Mo saw the words' Prince Manor 'written on the signboard!
As expected, it was done by Li Zixing.
Usually speaking, after the assassination failed and the enemy fled, they would definitely wait for a few days before returning to their nest. After all, there might be others chasing after them.
However, these black-robed men didn't know what to do and could only return first. Secondly, they felt that this was Li Zixing's Prince Manor. Even the Jinling Governor wouldn't dare to act rashly.
However, they didn't know that they were being followed by a bug.
Through the eyes of the Sacred Beetle, Sun Mo could see that everything in the manor was normal. There were servants and maids. Because it was very late, other than the guards, most people had already fallen asleep.
"These people shouldn't know the identity of those black-robed men."
The Sacred Beetle explained. It flew half a round in the manor and retreated. After that, it stopped at a slope about 60 meters away from the west wall.
There was a large bamboo forest here. The leaves were dense and it was very well hidden.
"I'm going in."
After the Sacred Beetle spoke, it entered through a gap. After that, although it was narrow, it was constructed in an extremely sturdy manner.
From the looks of it, it had existed for at least 20 years.
"Li Zixing is raising these black-robed men to do dirty work for him, right?"
Sun Mo speculated. After so many years, it was unknown how many atrocious things Li Zixing had done. But very soon, he grew suspicious again.
Because after exiting the tunnel, there was a huge hall. Butter candles as thick as an arm were lit here, illuminating the surroundings.
They continued to advance. With the help of the candlelight, Sun Mo saw some people. They were dressed in white linen clothes and had their mouths and noses covered with white cloth.
"Are they using this as a mask?"
Very soon, Sun Mo saw a group of white-robed men. They were holding metal chests and there were many things inside.
There were blood-stained clothes, discarded medicine dregs, and some bottles and jars.
All of a sudden, Sun Mo's eyes opened wide.
Because the last three people in the group were holding some internal organs that were dripping with fresh blood.
"Gan Lin, what kind of place is this exactly?"
Just when Sun Mo wanted to get the Sacred Beetle to quickly follow them and take a closer look, a loud whistle suddenly rang out in the lair. In an instant, those white-robed men started running and entered their respective positions, entering a combat state.
"I've been discovered?"
Sun Mo furrowed his brows.
