…
"Is it that way? Are you sure you smelled a girl's perfume?" Mofan asked the Flying Creek Snow Wolf.
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf nodded confidently.
"You seem to be quite good at smells like perfume?" Mofan squinted at him.
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf howled. He insisted that he had no interest in human women. To prove his innocence, he even told Mofan that he had a wolf wife in the Summoned Beast Plane. It was a beautiful female wolf with blue fur …
They followed the Flying Creek Snow Wolf's guidance and headed toward the group.
It was already the seventh group of Hunters that they had found. If Mofan did not have the medicine that Xinxia had prepared for him, which would keep Guo Muzhuang alive for another hour, Guo Muzhuang would have turned into a corpse by now.
…
A stream slowly flowed down from a higher mountain. Liu Xiaojia was a student of the nearby Magic University. It was her first time following a team led by her teacher to train. Even if it was just to get some water from the side, she was still a little scared.
Fetching water was supposed to be the job of the boys, but she was not of much help. She had no choice but to do the chores, as she was feeling guilty!
"The little creatures of Mount Kunyu, please don't lower yourself to the same level as an intern. Don't come looking for me, don't come looking for me …" Liu Xiaojia murmured.
However, as soon as she filled the bucket with water, Liu Xiaojia saw a white head with long whiskers poking out from the bushes in front of her. Following it, a powerful, slender wolf-like creature as white as snow stepped out from the bushes!
Liu Xiaojia immediately closed her eyes and screamed. Her voice echoed in the woods.
The others in the group heard her too. They quickly ran toward her.
"Senior … senior, help … help me!" Liu Xiaojia was on the verge of tears. She could not even move against the white wolf-like creature.
"Call the teacher, quick!"
The two male seniors quickly called for their teacher. Not long after, a middle-aged Mage in his fifties ran over.
The middle-aged Mage was a little bald. His body was glowing with a magical glow. He was clearly prepared for battle. However, when he saw the creature that resembled Liu Xiaojia, he could not help but tremble!
"C-Commander Level!!" The teacher's voice trembled. It was his first time being so close to a Commander-level creature!
"Run, run as far as you can. This is a Commander-level creature. Split up and run …" The middle-aged teacher was quite righteous. He gathered his courage and stepped forward, yelling at his students.
The students were dumbfounded. In their opinion, encountering a Warrior-level creature was already terrifying enough. Who would have thought that they would encounter a Commander-level creature when they went to fetch some water?
"Don't panic, don't panic, this guy is my Summoned Beast …" a young man in a beige t-shirt jumped out in the nick of time. He explained the situation to the group, and kicked the Commander-level white wolf under everyone's astounded gaze. He scolded, "Why are you running so fast? You already scared a whole group of people away last time!"
There was no obvious difference between a Summoned Beast and a demon creature. Even though the Flying Creek Snow Wolf was not showing any hostility or murderous intent, his Commander-level aura was still very effective against Mages below the Advanced Level.
Zhao Manyan, Ling Ling, Chen Ying, and Guan Xixi soon caught up to the group. They shook their heads helplessly when they saw the others trembling in fear after seeing the Flying Creek Snow Wolf.
"Go back, go back, I'll let you out later!" Mo Fan withdrew the Flying Creek Snow Wolf into the Summoned Beast Plane.
He had no idea why the Flying Creek Snow Wolf was so excited. He was supposed to lead the way, not charge into their faces. How could such an idiotic wolf have a girlfriend?
…
"Is … is he really your Summoned Beast?" the balding teacher exclaimed with a complicated expression. He let out a relieved sigh despite his lingering fear.
"I'm sorry, we were in a hurry to save him." Mo Fan pointed at Guo Muzhuang, who was on Zhao Manyan's back, and said, "Do you have a Healer here? He's about to die."
"Liu Xiaojia is a Healer, but judging from how terrified she is, it's hard to tell if she can cast a spell in time," the male senior said.
"I can do it!" Liu Xiaojia said confidently.
"I'll leave it to you then," Mo Fan asked Zhao Manyan to lay Guo Muzhuang on the ground and lay some leaves on the ground.
Liu Xiaojia came up to them and stared at Mo Fan with her pitch-black eyes. She could not help but ask after some time, "Is that your Summoned Beast?"
"Yes, the Flying Creek Snow Wolf," Mo Fan said.
"Is your father the President of the Magic Association?" Liu Xiaojia asked.
"Huh?" Mo Fan was utterly confused.
"Otherwise, why would you have a Commander-level Summoned Beast? You look around the same age as us. A Commander-level Summoned Beast can take on seven or eight Advanced Magicians at once. Doesn't that mean you're an Advanced Magician too? Your father must be very strong, since your cultivation is so high, "Liu Xiaojia concluded.
"My father is just an ordinary person, he's not a Magician," Mo Fan was speechless.
"Are you an Advanced Magician?" Liu Xiaojia asked.
"Yes."
"Ah, how did you cultivate? I've only reached the Intermediate Level, how are you already in the Advanced Level? Our teacher is only an Advanced Magician too, but he asked us to run for our lives. I don't think he's a match for your Summoned Beast …" Liu Xiaojia said.
Mo Fan's face darkened. He said, "Miss, can't you save him first?"
…
Guan Xixi let out a relieved sigh when she saw Guo Muzhuang slowly recovering his life force.
Guo Muzhuang's life was mostly saved. The Healing Spell had relieved him of the pain, allowing him to slowly wake up …
"Am … am I dead?" Guo Muzhuang glanced at his surroundings. His face was filled with astonishment, as he could feel every part of his body, apart from his lower limbs!
He was still alive!
Guo Muzhuang could not believe it himself. He glanced at Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan …
When he thought about Chen Binbin and Wang Hua, whom he had known for more than seven years, and Hu Duo, who had almost broken his heart into pieces, and then looked at Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan, who he had not met recently, Guo Muzhuang burst into tears. He sobbed and expressed his gratitude to Mofan and Zhao Manyan!
"Don't even think about a woman like her. You should focus on recuperating and cultivating when you get back." Mo Fan let out a sigh when he saw the man crying so hard. He patted Guo Muzhuang on the shoulder.
Guo Muzhuang had ended up like this because he had tried to save Hu Duo. Mo Fan did not want him to die in such a pitiful manner.
As a matter of fact, Guo Muzhuang's greatest pain was not the torture he had gone through at the hands of the Hillmen, but the fact that the girl he had tried so hard to save ended up in the arms of the man who was as timid as a mouse. At that moment, Guo Muzhuang felt it was better for him to die …
In just half a day, Guo Muzhuang was utterly disappointed in the people he had met.
"Did you encounter a Hillman?" the balding Mr. Gao asked curiously.
"By the way, Guo Muzhuang, what did you encounter? Tell us," Mo Fan said.
Guo Muzhuang's body twitched when he recalled what had happened not long ago. However, he was still a man. He told the group everything that had happened, "Skinny and I were heading toward the sound. We felt like we were very close to Hu Duo, but four Hillmen with fangs like wild boars suddenly showed up. They grabbed Skinny and tore his hands off before eating them …"
The students could not believe what they were hearing after hearing Guo Muzhuang's story.
"In other words, they didn't kill Skinny Man first. They tore his limbs off while he was still alive, and then dug out his organs … Skinny Man was still alive even after his organs were dug out?" Mo Fan explained the whole process.
Guo Muzhuang's face was covered in blue veins. He was grabbed tightly by another Hillman. He watched the other three Hillmen torture Skinny to death …
He could never forget the look on Skinny's face when he took his last breath!
"Slaughtering him alive and torturing him … Hillmen are cruel by nature, but I didn't expect them to be this cruel!" Ling Ling snarled.
"It's rare to see such insane demon creatures. Most demon creatures would just kill the humans or swallow them alive at most … but these Hillmen seem to know the structure of a human's body. They would avoid the vital parts and torture the humans to death. They would even let you watch them eat your legs, arms, and organs!" Mo Fan said.
The Hillmen were extremely cruel to their prey. Guo Muzhuang's description was enough to make the group's blood boil. They could not imagine what it would feel like to witness it with their own eyes!
"These things should go to Hell!" Ling Ling snarled.
"They are cunning. They know we have someone strong in our group, so they are using all kinds of methods to split us up. We can't use our strength against them … if I catch them, I'll let them have a taste of the pain of the people they tortured!" Mo Fan harrumphed coldly. He was fond of using violence to curb violence. There was no way he would show any mercy to the Hillmen!
"Well, I think we should tell the government about it. The Hillmen are too dangerous. I wonder how many Hunters are going to die. There are so many Hunters who know about the demon crests. Many of them have gone to the outer Mount Kunyu just to make up the numbers. They are not going to stand a chance against the demon crests," Mr. Gao said seriously.
Mr. Gao was enraged when he thought about the people in the outer part of Mount Kunyu being tortured by the Hillmen!
