Chapter 139: Headshot Under One's Very Nose (Please Subscribe)

"Half a corpse..."

Suddenly seeing such a corpse again, Du En could not help but think back to when he was still a corpse-burier, and had once buried an almost identical, bizarre corpse.

He could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

It looks like the secret is out, and it's coming straight for me?

Regardless of whether it is or not, in any case, the situation has already changed!

Facing a development that seemed to point directly at him, Du En also needed to consider a countermeasure.

Thus, his gaze wandered, sizing up the expressions of Xiang Tao and the others.

How should one put it?

Perhaps Du En's previous actions had already desensitized this side; now, seeing this half-corpse, they only felt it was unlucky and disgusting, and felt slightly more uneasy that the evil cultivator had reached their hands to the perimeter of the camp again.

They didn't think there was any problem at all, at most believing that the evil cultivator causing trouble in the dark was provoked because they saw them trying to fish for them here.

And then, there was no then.

When the time comes, eh? It seems that might not be impossible?

As long as I say the evil cultivator didn't take the bait, and I'm very regretful, wouldn't that be fine!

Du En pondered in his heart and soon had an idea.

"Heh! And that's not all! Then..."

Only by opening up a new track will it work!

Suddenly realizing something was wrong, in less than half a breath, Xiang Tao had already taken a step forward, then turned around mid-way, and then, when he stood still, he only saw a headless corpse falling into the arms of others.

"Oh? Listening to you say that, what methods were you originally planning to use to torture him?"

"Hmph! I was treating him with magnanimity, yet I was constantly ignored and slapped in the face. I had originally thought I would definitely have to teach him a harsh lesson and torture him, who knew that an evil cultivator would cause trouble again."

"I suppose this is me lifting a rock only to drop it on my own feet."

"Camp Master, this corpse is an eyesore here, let Du En come over and bury it!"

Yu Jian spoke at a very opportune moment, thinking he was catering to Xiang Tao's heart.

When they began to adapt and attempted to huddle together, Du En was still the same as always, with nothing he couldn't persist through; he probably found their self-righteousness at the time quite ridiculous!

And now, at the very end, when they were completely submissive and willing to be exploited, Du En was still not intimidated, remaining as maverick and solitary as ever, appearing completely different from everyone else in the camp!

At this moment, they cast aside their prejudices and looked at him seriously, even looking up to him, only to feel he stood out like a crane in a flock of chickens, towering like Mount Tai, completely different and far exceeding them, these self-proclaimed superior, mediocre, and cowardly people!

Thus they lowered their heads, their moods very complex, their hearts in a mess.

Even Xiang Tao, who "knew" it wasn't like that, only felt that his strategy of passive neglect, which he had stubbornly insisted upon, had finally made that evil cultivator start to get annoyed, which was why this new round of stimulation had unfolded.

The others were immediately extremely excited, but seeing Xiang Tao in front waving his hand, their hearts suddenly turned cold, and they hurriedly suppressed their emotions, trying hard to put on a normal appearance.

Listening to these words from the old patrol guards, the new patrol guards trailing at the back could not help but have complex expressions.

Facing such a surge of public opinion, Xiang Tao could not help but feel he was riding a tiger and could not get off.

If he didn't do this, this guy who only cared about himself would never take any action, and would only use his set of passive response strategies that ignored human life.

Of course, this process required keeping watch; if that evil cultivator really got lucky and appeared, then things would be easy to handle!

Thus Xiang Tao nodded, turned around, and took the lead, intending to return to the camp to find Du En.

"Speaking of which, Yu Jian, it seems you haven't been able to suppress that kid?"

Thus, the new patrol guards remained silent, and thus, the old patrol guards chose to normally mock Yu Jian.

"Wrong!"

Du En mocked himself calmly in his heart, yet he had no regrets.

Yu Jian sneered, becoming more and more engrossed as he spoke; the various methods made the new patrol guards' scalps tingle, and even the old patrol guards could not help but feel a bit terrified.

What kind of hatred or grudge do you have to make you hold such a grudge against him?

Having finished sighing with such emotion, they also joined in one after another, pooling their wisdom and efforts, using the many specialties of these Southern Border mountains and forests to offer advice to Yu Jian.

"It's quite average!"

So everyone except Yu Jian could not help but nod repeatedly, expressing their approval, their eyes revealing a look of eagerness and impatience.

He knew, after all, that Du En was the evil cultivator's bait; even if they called this kid to bury the corpse, it would likely be the same as the previous good luck—nothing would happen, and after burying the corpse, he would just dust himself off and go back.

And Xiang Tao and the others were naturally conversing at this moment.

Xiang Tao walked at the very front, not caring about these trivial matters; he was thinking about the main business, which was how to attack in a swarm and quickly kill the evil cultivator on the spot if they were lucky enough to lure them out.

"First, I will bury the eggs of the Parasitic Wolf Spider into his dantian, letting him slowly feel his cultivation base wither away, and let that monster eat his Dao foundation as its own food and nourishment."

Yu Jian suddenly became spirited and immediately recounted all the various methods he had originally planned to prepare, but which had been shelved because of the evil cultivator incident.

When they mocked Du En back then, Du En was retorting to Yu Jian, not retreating or fawning in the slightest, maintaining his true self, and even leaving Yu Jian speechless, able only to choose to avoid him to keep from being annoyed.

After all, the growth during this period was not fake.

As long as that evil cultivator took the bait and jumped out from the dark, they would swarm up, use their numbers to crush the opponent to death, end this disturbance, and let life return to its previous normal state.

"That's what I'm saying, before he was spouting ghost stories about taking pills and getting facial paralysis; did he really think he could fool us like that?"

"Look at how you bragged like you were going to heaven on normal days, but in reality, you were being stepped on the face on the ground from the very beginning. It's truly shameful to be associated with you, ridiculous! Ridiculous!"

"It's best to buy a little more time, and also, this guy Xiang Tao cannot be allowed to continue hiding in leisure; I must stimulate him fiercely to make him develop a strong sense of crisis."

If this continues, even the most seasoned patrol guard won't be able to take it!

"Hmm..."

However, since this matter had been completely exposed, dwelling on it would only lead to being grabbed and mocked fiercely.

And in front, even if Yu Jian used the excuse that they were pretending to convince himself, he actually understood very well in his heart that this was their true colors, so he still couldn't help but be furious.

In their view, Du En was the bait, and doing this now was just right!

Moreover, looking at the whole situation, he figured he couldn't personally torture Du En, so now he could only satisfy his mouth and vent his frustration.

This guy successfully used his vicious heart to make this group of equally vicious people accept and acknowledge him again, without the mockery and sarcasm from just before.

"What are you in such a rush for? Next, I will use the spores of the Psychedelic Mushroom to make him fall into hallucinations, repeating the process of gaining cultivation and then losing it!"

"Hahaha! So that's how it is, you've actually been avoiding him all this time? To be scared to such a degree, what a useless thing!"

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly noticed that it seemed to have gone quiet behind him.

"Listen to me, all of you!"

"Hiss! That's heart-wrenching!"

Their excitement and enthusiasm from working together had not yet dissipated, but now it was completely stuck in their throats, blocked by other terrifying emotions that were emerging.

The reason was simple: Du En had been planning this for a long time; he had just suddenly erupted, soared through the air right under the noses of Xiang Tao and the others, and blew up Yu Jian's head, causing his words to come to an abrupt end!
