Li Ziqi was intelligent and had been by Sun Mo's side for such a long time. She could basically guess her teacher's thoughts with just a frown.
Upon seeing Sun Mo's gaze, Li Ziqi immediately went up and persuaded him, "Teacher, you mustn't let your emotions affect your decisions at such a time. Even if you feel aggrieved, you should endure it. After all, a 5-star great teacher is a pillar that can support the heavens."
"Eldest Senior Sister, what do you mean?"
When Xuanyuan Po heard this, he was displeased. "Without Butcher Zhang, are we not going to eat furred pigs anymore?"
Ying Baiwu frowned. Her gaze roamed around her teacher and Li Ziqi. Although her eldest martial sister couldn't fight, her competitive spirit wouldn't lose to anyone.
Begging for help?
Li Ziqi would definitely not do such a thing.
"Eh? Why are they fighting? "
Lu Zhiruo suddenly became nervous. "Xuanyuan, don't be noisy. Eldest martial sister is doing this for everyone's sake!"
After speaking, the papaya girl looked at the little sunny egg. "Eldest martial sister, everyone understands your intentions. But if you want to live under someone else's roof, it's really a loss of moral integrity."
Jiang Leng was an introverted youth. He thought about it for a while and understood Sun Mo's meaning. Hence, he spoke in support, "I feel that eldest martial sister is right. Teacher, can you bear with it for a while?"
Qin Yaoguang chewed on a pear blossom candy and squatted on a tree branch, watching everyone arguing with interest. Meanwhile, Tantai Yutang covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed non-stop.
"What should we do?"
Xian Yuwei stood beside Helian Beifang and secretly poked his arm with her finger. Her seniority was the lowest and she had just arrived at Jinling. She didn't have the authority to speak.
"Just watch from the sidelines!"
Helian Beifang instructed in a low voice.
A group of students started quarreling, causing the teachers and students of the Federation of Hundred Seedlings to reveal proud expressions. There were even a few people who had mocking expressions.
"Zou shi, they are having an internal conflict."
"Of course. Who wouldn't want to live in the maze?"
"From the looks of it, the Central Province's Sun Mo is merely so-so!"
The great teachers of the Federation Seedling Pavilion were discussing fervently.
Zou Qi's expression changed. "Teacher Sun, it's fine to let you guys follow us, but you have to use 100 'massages' as the price."
"Are you daydreaming?"
Mei Ziyu retorted, "Do you know how precious Sun Mo's God Hands are? All of Jinling's top dignitaries have to line up even if they want to offer expensive gifts. "
"Teacher Sun, let's go. I don't believe that we won't be able to solve this maze."
Mei Ziyu pulled Sun Mo away.
"Teacher Sun, the next time we meet, it won't be just a hundred times."
Zou Qi sneered.
Cui Xiangxin had a solemn look on his face as his gaze roamed around Sun Mo's group. After that, he gradually revealed a puzzled expression.
…
Sun Mo's group left and only stopped after traveling for a total of five miles.
"Li Ziqi, if you do this again in the future, I won't acknowledge you as my eldest martial sister anymore."
Xuanyuan Po was very unhappy. He hated cowards the most.
"Alright, can't you tell that it was all an act?"
Tantai Yutang persuaded.
"Eh? Acting … acting? "
Lu Zhiruo had a dumbfounded look on her face. "Why must we act?"
"The title of a 5-star great teacher represents strength and a sense of security. Right now, we're in deep danger. If we encounter them and not only did we not seek help, we even wanted to leave in a hurry. What do you think they would think?"
Li Ziqi counter-asked.
"What would they think?"
The papaya girl subconsciously asked. After that, she mumbled, "A 5-star great teacher is very impressive? Why don't I feel anything? "
However, she couldn't be blamed for this. When she was at home, she basically couldn't see any 5-star great teachers. The worst one was at least a 6-star great teacher.
"They would wonder if we have already resolved the danger. If we are being followed, wouldn't we be suffering a loss?"
Li Ziqi smiled sweetly. "Therefore, we have to find a reasonable reason to leave."
"I see."
Xianyu Wei was enlightened.
"..."
Xuanyuan Po suddenly felt that he was like a fool.
"Sun Mo, have you thought of a way to resolve the situation?"
Li Ruolan interjected, "There should be no one following us now. Let's quickly resolve the problem, shall we?"
"Move a little further away!"
Sun Mo urged.
After they were ten miles away, Sun Mo chose an area with a good view and got his personal students to hide. After that, he took out the ancient whale oil, removed the cork, and poured it onto a tree trunk that was seven to eight meters above the ground.
A dense fragrance immediately permeated the air.
In less than three minutes, there was a commotion in the forest, and ferocious beasts rushed over.
The ancient whale oil was good stuff. Ordinary ferocious beasts might not be able to sense it, but those who had lived for over a hundred years would definitely be able to smell it.
Li Ziqi understood. Her teacher was planning to use the divine language of spiritual control to summon the ferocious beasts living in this area. The older they were, the more familiar they would be with this maze.
"The ecology here isn't destroyed. This means that the guy who created this maze isn't wary of the local creatures."
Sun Mo explained.
He had read many books in the old headmaster's book collection room and had quite a lot of information regarding the species of darkness in his mind. Therefore, he knew that even secret treasures and species depended on the environment to be born.
The first to fly over were birds. They landed on a tree branch and used their beaks to peck at the ancient whale oil.
All of a sudden, a thick python darted out from the dense treetops and swallowed a few birds. It then flicked its tongue and licked the ancient whale oil.
When the whale oil entered its mouth, the python trembled in agitation and kept on hissing, warning the other ferocious beasts not to come over.
"This fellow can't be the boss of this maze, right?"
Looking at this huge snake that was covered in green scales, Sun Mo thought to himself. (Should I imitate Xu Xian and 'play' with a snakeman?)
If he didn't make a move, the ancient whale oil would be licked clean. However, just as Sun Mo was preparing to toss out Lu Zhizheng, a monkey suddenly descended from the sky.
The monkey was holding onto a thick 'stone spear'.
This stone spear was formed by three vines intertwining together. After that, an arm-length sharp stone spear was tied together.
Sun Mo had thought that the python's scales would be very hard, but that stone spear broke through the python's scales without any obstruction and pierced into its flesh.
Pffft!
Fresh blood splattered.
Zi!
The python cried out in agony and fell down. However, before it landed on the ground, it used its tail to coil around a tree trunk. After that, it swung its head and smashed it toward a large tree at the side.
It wanted to use such a method to crush the monkey on its back.
Bang!
The huge python smashed into the huge tree, causing leaves to fall from the sky like large snowflakes.
Ji!
The monkey jumped onto the tree trunk in time and dodged the collision. After that, it rebounded and landed on the python's back. After that, another spear shot out.
The python scuttled around like a galloping wild horse. The monkey was like a rider taming the wild horse. Its stone spear pierced the python's body until it was covered with wounds.
"This monkey is so impressive!"
Xuanyuan Po was surprised.
"You can't possibly be thinking of fighting with the monkey, right?"
Ying Baiwu frowned. If that was the case, she wouldn't treat the combat addict as a formidable opponent in the future.
"Sun Mo, that stone spear tip is a good item. It must be some kind of rare ore!"
Mei Ziyu reminded.
"Mn!"
Sun Mo had already activated Divine Sight.
Green Macaque. It can understand humans and has high intelligence. It can sense spirit qi and can cultivate. However, this one was only seven years old and was still very young.
Note: Very rare. It wasn't listed on the mysterious darkness species list because it was too rare. Even now, the great teacher world didn't have detailed information about it.
Astral ore, one of the three toughest ores in the world. After grinding, it would become abnormally sharp. Moreover, after coming into contact with blood, it would secrete a type of poison, causing the skin and flesh to rapidly soften and rot.
"I've struck it rich!"
Sun Mo felt at ease. With this stone and the green macaque, he wouldn't be demoted in the competition this time around.
The macaque was still too young and was a little weaker. Hence, the python managed to escape.
Ji!
The macaque called out unhappily and came to the tree trunk. It looked at the ancient whale oil and sniffed it. After that, it dipped its finger into it and placed it into its mouth, sucking in a mouthful.
Zi!
This was a good item!
The macaque beamed and jumped around in celebration. But all of a sudden, its expression changed and it broke into a run. It was like a sharp arrow, shooting toward a tree branch over ten meters away.
There was no such liquid in the forest. Hence, it might be a trap. In any case, regardless of whether it was or not, it had to escape first.
Swoosh!
Sun Mo saw that the situation wasn't good. He tossed out Lu Zhizheng and darted out at the same time.
"Surround and kill!"
Sun Mo roared in a low voice.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
All of his personal students darted out. Ying Baiwu gripped her bow tightly and unleashed a rain of arrows.
Swoosh!
After the monkey dodged the first Lu Zhizheng, it was smashed by the second divine language of spiritual control.
Ji!
A lot of information gushed into the monkey's mind, causing it to be unable to process it. Amidst the dizziness, it lost its balance and fell down.
Hu ~
Sun Mo heaved a sigh of relief. He almost failed.
Ji!
The macaque looked at Sun Mo and revealed a smile.
"Teacher, it's done!"
Xianyu Wei congratulated.
"Mn, eh?"
Just when Sun Mo wanted to nod, he was shocked. Something wasn't right. The effect of the divine language of spiritual control wouldn't be so fast. However, why was this monkey smiling amicably?
Was this fellow trying to trick him?
As expected, at the next second, the stone spear in the monkey's hand pierced toward Sun Mo's eye with lightning speed.
This attack was fast, accurate, and ruthless. Clearly, it had been practiced over ten thousand times.
Swoosh!
Sun Mo dodged. The stone spear brushed past his eyebrows, slicing off a few strands of hair.
"What bad luck do I have?!"
Sun Mo was speechless. Although Lu Zhizheng knew the divine language of spiritual control, there was still a few percent chance of failure. He didn't expect to encounter it.
He was really as unlucky as charcoal.
Ji!
The macaque's attack missed and it stabbed out again.
It also understood that this fellow was the clan leader of these two-legged people. As long as it heavily injured him and took him as a hostage, it would be able to leave safely.
Wanting to run?
There was no chance. There were enemies everywhere.
Sun Mo didn't have time to prepare Lu Zhizheng. He could only pull out his blade to block.
(If gentleness doesn't work, then I'll use force. I'll beat you up until you admit defeat.)
However, at this moment, a golden halo smashed onto the macaque's body. After that, it shrank and became a collar that wrapped around its neck.
"Get down!"
Lu Zhiruo shouted loudly.
Plop!
The macaque directly fell face-first onto the ground. Its limbs flailed about, causing a large amount of soil to splatter. However, it was useless. It just couldn't get up.
"What's going on?"
Xuanyuan Po asked. Jiang Leng immediately moved toward Lu Zhiruo. He was worried that the monkey would kill the papaya girl.
"My... my spiritual summoning technique hit its target."
Lu Zhiruo explained.
"Junior sister Zhiruo, congratulations!"
Li Ziqi rushed over from the back. "This monkey seems to be very strong."
"Ah?"
Lu Zhiruo scratched her head. She basically didn't care if this monkey was strong or not. Capturing it was for the sake of her teacher's plan.
"What's the origin of this monkey?"
Li Ruolan asked.
"It's a rare species of darkness!"
Sun Mo explained to everyone.
After hearing that, everyone congratulated Lu Zhiruo.
To beast tamers and spirit controllers, the more powerful the pet they captured, the higher their status would be.
However, the papaya girl didn't look happy at all. She walked to the side of the macaque and stretched out her hand to pat its head.
"Don't be nervous. After you help us find the path to leave this place, I'll return your freedom to you."
Lu Zhiruo's love for small animals came from the bottom of her heart. She didn't have any thoughts of benefits.
The violent macaque gradually calmed down under Lu Zhiruo's consolation.
"This disciple of yours is really lucky!"
Li Ruolan sighed ruefully. If this monkey was really as amazing as Sun Mo said, then this silly girl would definitely have profited greatly.
Lu Zhiruo took out a bag of dried fish from her travel bag and fed it to the macaque.
Pak!
The macaque smacked the dried fish away.
However, the power of the contract couldn't be defied. In its heart, it started to feel a sense of closeness toward the papaya girl.
"Let them be alone for a while!"
Sun Mo instructed.
"Teacher is so magnanimous!"
Qin Yaoguang admired it.
"What do you mean?"
Xianyu Wei didn't understand.
"This monkey should be Teacher's pet, but Zhiruo got it. Teacher doesn't care about it at all."
Qin Yaoguang explained.
"Aren't you underestimating Teacher too much?"
Xianyu Wei was speechless. "This lousy monkey, how can Teacher take a liking to it?"
It was true that Sun Mo didn't take a liking to it. After subduing the ancient dragon spirit, his requirement for pets had become very high.
Half an hour later, Lu Zhiruo returned.
That macaque stood on the papaya girl's back, holding its stone spear and directing Lu Zhiruo on which path to take.
"Why do I feel that you have become a mount?"
Ying Baiwu frowned.
"Nope, Little Bai is very friendly!"
The papaya girl giggled.
"Little Bai?"
Everyone looked at this monkey. It was clearly covered in gray fur. Why was it called Little Bai? However, no one was concerned about this question.
"Does it know the way out?"
Xianyu Wei asked.
"Junior martial sister, you should be asking why there's a maze here. Is there a secret treasure? If there is, where is it? "
Tantai Yutang pointed out.
"Little Bai said that there's a vine in this forest. If we get close to it, we will lose ourselves."
Lu Zhiruo made a gesture of plugging her ears. "We have to plug our ears before we can walk out."
"Why are we going out?"
Xuanyuan Powu brandished his spear. "To find that vine."
"We will die."
Lu Zhiruo looked at Sun Mo. "Little Bai said that it's very dangerous."
"We have to go even if it's dangerous."
Sun Mo consoled. How could there be the logic of entering a treasure mountain and returning empty-handed?
Lu Zhiruo's affinity was off the charts. It was unknown if it was because she had a pair of papayas, but it didn't take long for her to get familiar with the monkey.
The monkey willingly led the way, but it rode on the papaya girl's neck, treating her as a two-legged mount.
Lu Zhiruo giggled, not feeling that there was anything embarrassing about it.
