"Are we going to save them?" Song Qiao asked weakly.
Just as he expected, no one answered.
At this moment, the only people left around him were Big Bluff, Ren Xiaosu, Yang Xiaojin, Luo Lan, Zhou Qi, Cheng Yu, and his five assistants. None of them seemed to be warm-hearted people.
Although Song Qiao and Cheng Yu were both from the Anjing House, Cheng Yu might not even save Song Qiao if something happened to him, much less his assistants.
"What the hell is that?" Big Bluff asked in a low voice, "I've never seen something like that before!"
Cheng Yu believed what Big Bluff said. After all, the monsters in the wilderness would not recognize people. If Big Bluff had encountered something like that when he first came here, Big Bluff would have died a long time ago.
"What should we do now? Run? "Luo Lan asked from behind Ren Xiaosu.
Cheng Yu turned around and realized Luo Lan was not even looking at anyone else. He was only looking at Ren Xiaosu.
It seemed like the monsters were being held back by some supernatural beings, so it was a good opportunity for them to escape.
However, Ren Xiaosu said calmly, "Don't be rash. The fog here is too thick. Instead of running around blindly, why don't we observe for a while? We have quite a lot of people, and there are also quite a few supernatural beings in our group. We might not necessarily lose to the monsters in the fog."
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Qiao was surprised to see a figure flash past in the fog in front of them. However, that person did not break out of the battlefield. Instead, it looked like he had charged in front of them and plunged into the battlefield!
Wait a minute, who was that? Song Qiao looked at the figure and could not remember anyone in their group wearing such an attire.
"It's White Mask!" Cheng Yu exclaimed, "Why did he suddenly come here? It looks like he was the one who cut down the trees and fought the monsters in the wilderness!"
Song Qiao was bewildered. "Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"
"That can't be wrong. He's wearing the same clothes as the last time I saw him." Cheng Yu said, "I wonder why he didn't change his clothes."
Ren Xiaosu shot a speechless glance at Cheng Yu, thinking to himself that his focus was too abnormal. There was no need for him to change Old Xu's clothes at all. After all, this outfit had already become Old Xu's trademark. Old Xu was meant to be used as a scapegoat, so Ren Xiaosu was afraid that others would not be able to recognize Old Xu.
Just now, Luo Lan had suggested leaving, but Ren Xiaosu had decided to stay because Old Xu, who was in front of them, was on his way back.
No matter what the monster was, he had to take a look before leaving. If he encountered any danger, he would escape. There would be more dangers in the future. He might as well not enter the Sacred Mountain.
If you want to survive in the Sacred Mountains, you must first understand what is here.
Moreover, there were so many supernatural beings in this group. After they entered the Sacred Mountains, they would all be Ren Xiaosu's helpers. If these people died on Mt. Shenchi, who would cover for him in the future?
To put it simply, Ren Xiaosu could not let these people die too easily. At the very least, they had to get into the Sacred Mountains before they died.
Even if he could not kill the monsters, he could still use Old Xu to attract the firepower and help them escape.
However, Ren Xiaosu was overthinking things. After he controlled Old Xu to enter the battlefield, he realized his teammates behind him did not suffer any particularly serious injuries. The various supernatural beings were still holding on and killing the monsters that were attacking them.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew behind Old Xu. Ren Xiaosu controlled Old Xu to turn around and fight. However, he was stunned for a moment. What pounced out of the white fog was a huge spider. It was half the height of a person and covered in fur.
However, this spider in front of him was rarely seen in the Central Plains. Ren Xiaosu recalled the popular science books he had read in Stronghold 88's library and tried to find a comparison of species from before The Cataclysm.
Tarantulas?
The popular science books said these things could prey on birds, frogs, and lizards before The Cataclysm and were terrifying. But didn't tarantulas live in the tropics? Why would they appear here?
As a matter of fact, they were currently in the northern temperate zone.
This was most likely related to the Pyro Company. Ren Xiaosu felt it was not simple for these tarantulas to appear in Mt. Shenchi.
It was no wonder Ren Xiaosu realized after entering the mountains that there were very few birds around Mt. Wuzhai. Even if the birds had mutated, they would still be afraid of a natural enemy like the tarantulas.
More and more tarantulas appeared in the white fog. Ren Xiaosu controlled Old Xu to charge into the center of the battlefield.
Cheng Yu and the others stood guard. They heard someone shouting "spiders" in the white fog, followed by cries of White Mask. After Old Xu entered the battlefield, the screams became fewer and fewer.
The large number of tarantulas in the white fog seemed to have realized how powerful Old Xu was. They started giving up on their other prey and turned to attack Old Xu instead. This gave the others a chance to catch their breath.
Ren Xiaosu frowned. The tarantulas could spit out white silk to bind their prey. It would be easy to dodge if there were only one or two of them, but if there were too many of them, Old Xu would not be able to move away.
If it got wrapped up in too much spider silk, Old Xu's combat strength would probably be greatly reduced.
Thinking of this, Ren Xiaosu controlled Old Xu to take out a grenade from its pocket and throw it everywhere.
No matter how powerful the tarantulas were, they could not withstand the power of the grenades. Faced with the troublesome Old Xu, the tarantula horde actually started retreating!
"Why do I keep getting the feeling that White Mask is just strolling around us?" Cheng Yu was a little puzzled. "I thought he was here to snatch the No. 001 Experimental, but it looks more like he's protecting someone."
Cheng Yu looked at Luo Lan and the others in bewilderment. Was he protecting Luo Lan? Or was the target of his protection someone else?
Luo Lan glanced at him. "What are you looking at me for? If I had a bodyguard like him, I would've beaten up your Anjing House a long time ago!"
Cheng Yu's face darkened. 'Can you not be so straightforward about everyone's conflict?'
In fact, Luo Lan did not know about Old Xu's existence either. When he heard that White Mask and the sniper had intercepted the Pyro Company, he thought it was Ren Xiaosu. But now that Ren Xiaosu was right beside him, it could not be Ren Xiaosu.
Cheng Yu recalled that White Mask had appeared at Stronghold 74, Stronghold 73, and Luoyang City. It did not seem like he had any dealings with Luo Lan.
Instead, it was Ren Xiaosu, whom he had suspected to be his backer, who did not do anything this time. Thinking of this, Cheng Yu felt that no matter how strong Ren Xiaosu was, he would probably not be a match for White Mask.
If White Mask continued to protect the group, it would also be a form of restraint for Luo Lan and the others. Such a balance of power was needed in the group to prevent any group from becoming too powerful and influencing everyone's decisions.
Cheng Yu was about to say something when he was stunned. "Why is someone missing? Hey, girl, where's your boyfriend? "
At some point, Ren Xiaosu had already walked into the white fog while they were talking.
Yang Xiaojin did not want to talk to Cheng Yu, but he did not intend to give up. "You don't know where he went either?"
Yang Xiaojin said in seriousness, "He might have gone to jump rope."
Cheng Yu was speechless.
For some reason, Cheng Yu felt that this answer actually sounded a little reasonable amidst the absurdity.
