"Let's go."
Li Ying led the way. Everyone followed behind him, keeping an eye on the surroundings.
The mountain path near the giant peak was rugged and full of potholes. Some were the footprints of giant beasts, and some were the pits caused by the battle between Astral Pets and beasts. What accumulated in the pits was not rainwater, but thick, black blood. Germs had already grown in the blood, and it was emitting a strange smell.
Even Fan Ganglie and the others, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, frowned at the pungent smell.
Su Ping asked the Little Skeleton to guard by his side, in case of sudden attacks.
"This is …"
Not long after, Li Ying suddenly stopped. His eyes were fixed on a sand-like dent in the brown rock. There was a hand hanging there, and the wrist was covered with a black metal bracer.
Fan Ganglie's expression changed slightly. He moved his mind and asked the Multi-Eared Monkey to go forward and take a look. The Multi-Eared Monkey jumped a few times and arrived in front of the hand. It was a broken arm. Fan Ganglie took the arm that the Multi-Eared Monkey had sent back and looked for a while. His face was a bit pale. "It's someone from another team. This is a Black Cloud Gold bracer. Someone who can afford such a good bracer is definitely not weak …"
Lin Mokong, Fan Yujing, and the others also recognized the bracer. Their expressions changed. The owner of this hand was probably an advanced battle pet warrior, or a rich sixth-rank battle pet warrior. Since he had died there, it was obvious that he had encountered an extremely terrible danger. He didn't even have a chance to escape.
Su Ping looked at the broken arm and said, "Let me see."
Fan Ganglie was a bit confused, but he still handed the broken arm to Su Ping.
"You don't recognize this bracer." Lin Mokong sneered when he saw Su Ping pretending to look at the arm.
Su Ping picked up the broken arm and looked at the broken part carefully. His pupils shrank slightly, but they returned to normal in an instant. He continued to look at the hardening of the arm as if nothing had happened, and the bracer that was not damaged much. After a while, he returned it to Fan Ganglie.
"Did you find anything?" Fan Ganglie asked. He valued Su Ping's opinion. After all, Su Ping had sensed danger that they did not. Along the way, he had noticed that Su Ping seemed to turn a blind eye to the harsh environment around him. This kind of behavior was normal for a veteran explorer, but for a newcomer like Su Ping who had never explored before, it was too strange!
However, everyone had their own secrets, and it was not convenient for him to ask about them, lest he offend them.
"Nothing." Su Ping's expression remained the same.
Next to him, Lin Mokong immediately sneered.
Su Ping cast a sidelong glance at him and suddenly raised his hand.
Pa!
The crisp sound of a slap suddenly rang out.
Fan Ganglie, Fan Yujing, and Li Ying were all stunned. However, Lin Mokong was the most shocked. He felt the burning pain on his face. He could not believe it!
He was actually slapped by someone! As an advanced battle pet warrior, his status was extremely respected. In a second-rate battle pet warrior like Fan Ganglie, he could be the captain. But now, he was slapped in the face by a nameless kid?!
After being stunned for a second, he suddenly came back to his senses. His eyes suddenly turned blood-red, and he quickly pulled out his sword. "Brat, I'm going to kill you!"
Fan Ganglie and the other two also came back to their senses and quickly held his hand. Fan Ganglie hurriedly advised, "Brother Lin, Brother Lin, let's talk things out. Don't use your sword. It's too dangerous here. If we kill each other again, I'm afraid that everyone's lives will be in danger!"
Lin Mokong was about to explode with anger. He had been slapped. What was there to talk about?
He desperately wanted to pull out his sword, but his hand was firmly held down by Fan Ganglie. For a moment, he could not pull it out. This shocked him again. He did not expect Fan Ganglie to be so strong. They were both at the seventh-rank, but Fan Ganglie was stronger than him!
Li Ying and Fan Yujing were also frightened. They hurriedly stopped the fight and stood in front of Su Ping and Lin Mokong, afraid that they would fight.
"Brother Su, Brother Su, let's talk things out. Why did you hit him?" Fan Yujing looked at the calm Su Ping and was a bit anxious. Su Ping was an advanced battle pet warrior. He could not afford to offend him.
"Yes!" Li Ying was also frightened. He did not expect that Su Ping, who looked like a fair and tender student, would have such a bad temper. He hit someone without any hesitation. Moreover, the person he hit was an advanced battle pet warrior, someone that even they had to curry favor with.
"He asked for it."
Su Ping said indifferently. The surrounding environment was very dangerous. Internal strife was not conducive to survival, and he could be tricked. However, the other party was obviously very prejudiced against him. If there was a chance to set him up, he would not miss it. Since that was the case, there was nothing to worry about.
Moreover, he knew that even if he took action, the fight would not start. Fan Ganglie and the others would definitely pull them apart. Taking a step back, even if they fought, he was not afraid. He could kill this person while he was at it, so that he would not ruin things in the future.
It was best to kill someone who could threaten him as soon as possible.
"Uh." Hearing Su Ping's words, Fan Yujing and Li Ying were stunned. It was true that Lin Mokong had mocked him first. However, he dared to hit him because of that. Wasn't he too bold? Wasn't he afraid of becoming a mortal enemy?
"You!!" Lin Mokong was so angry that his blood vessels were about to explode. He tried to pull out the saber, but Fan Ganglie's hand was like an iron clamp. He could not pull it out.
"Brother Lin, this is Brother SU's fault. I apologize on his behalf. Let's finish the task first, okay?" Fan Ganglie tried to persuade him.
Lin Mokong glared at him angrily and gritted his teeth. He also knew that Fan Ganglie would not let him fight with Su Ping here. Otherwise, they would all die if any monsters were attracted.
Perhaps the other party had calculated this point and dared to attack him. In other words, he had taken the slap for nothing!
"Damn it, all of you deserve to die. Even if you are cut into pieces, it will not quell my anger!" Lin Mokong roared in his heart. He was filled with violence. His hand gripped the hilt of his saber tightly. After trying his best to endure for a while, he slowly let go.
He glanced coldly at Su Ping, turned around, and said, "I will remember this grudge. I will deal with it when we return to the base!" Although he said that he would deal with it when they returned to the base, he said that on purpose. His purpose was to give Su Ping a false impression that he would not play any tricks in this operation.
Fan Ganglie saw that Lin Mokong had held back and was relieved. He said to Su Ping, "Brother SU, don't be rash anymore. Otherwise, I will not help you anymore."
Seeing his serious expression, Su Ping smiled. "Let's go."
Fan Ganglie had a headache when he saw Su Ping's nonchalant attitude. He could only say, "Let's go. Finish the task as soon as possible and return as soon as possible!"
Li Ying and Fan Yujing looked at each other and sighed in their hearts. Li Ying still walked in front of the team to open the way. Not long after, they saw some corpses and limbs on the ground. They were the members of the other exploration teams.
From the number of limbs, they could tell that there were three or four people who had died. Among them, there were also heads covered with tiny insects that had been gnawed beyond recognition.
"Be careful."
These corpses sounded the alarm for Fan Ganglie and the others. They were all on high alert.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a colorful smoke signal flew out from the dense forest in front of them.
