Chapter 123: Fishing in the Small Forest
Mei Feng was a student whose strength had reached the Lower Heavy White Seed Realm, and this time he had likewise received a mission to encircle and suppress Li Luo, which made him quite excited. Although he understood that there should be quite a few people encircling Li Luo, and even if he went he might not necessarily be able to claim the first prize, but a man has to have dreams, right?
What if he happened to land the killing blow successfully?
At that time he would become a student of Instructor Zi Hui, and from then on at the Sacred Profound Star Academy he would start a step above others, and might even be able to leverage this to win the favor of a beautiful senior sister, walking toward a successful life.
So he carried an excited mindset the whole way, rushing eagerly toward that stretch of mountain forest.
And when he was passing through a small forest, suddenly a simple and honest voice came: "Fellow student, please hold on!"
Mei Feng looked over in confusion, and saw outside that small forest a youth with a burly build, a frank and simple, honest face, looking at him.
"Is something the matter, fellow student?" The other's face looked at first glance like that frank, simple, honest type of personality, trustworthy, so Mei Feng relaxed his vigilance a bit at the first moment.
"Fellow student, you're also heading for that Li Luo, right? Actually, so am I. We still have a few fellow students here, planning to join forces to deal with that Li Luo. If you're interested, fellow student, you can come with us — this way the odds of success are greater. After all, there aren't few other students in that stretch of mountain forest right now, and if you go it alone, you may not be able to compete with them." The simple and honest burly youth spoke clearly, his words reasonable.
Hearing this, Mei Feng was also a little tempted. After considering briefly, a smile appeared on his face.
"Can I meet the others first?" he asked.
"Of course, no problem." The simple and honest youth immediately agreed, then put on his signature simple and honest smile, chatted and laughed with Mei Feng, and then they walked into the small forest together.
The two had not exchanged a few sentences before the simple and honest youth had Mei Feng's background figured out completely.
And at this time, Mei Feng also met the other companions, the leader being a youth whose eyes seemed somewhat melancholy.
"With Brother Mei Feng joining us, we will definitely be able to take down Li Luo and claim the first prize!" Seeing Mei Feng, that melancholy youth immediately launched into a wild flattery, his words carrying the strong implication that they should take Mei Feng as their leader.
A smile appeared on Mei Feng's face. These brothers were still pretty decent — they had good sense, and they spoke nicely. In the future at the Sacred Profound Star Academy, he could look after them a bit more.
"I think we have enough people, let's set out." Mei Feng waved his hand and said.
The others immediately nodded in agreement.
"Let's go."
Having walked only two steps, the melancholy youth suddenly said: "Brother Feng, there's a mosquito behind your head, let me shoo it away for you."
Mei Feng felt it was a bit strange for a moment, but before he could say anything, the melancholy youth, gripping a stick he had somehow produced from somewhere, swung it at the back of his head directly, swift as lightning.
Thwack!
The sound was quite crisp.
A burst of pain came from the back of Mei Feng's head, and then his vision plunged straight into darkness. At the same time, his heart was still in shock — is this fellow student an idiot? Shooing a mosquito, how could he use so much force?
As Mei Feng passed out, Seeing Yu Lang looked at him and said: "This brother is really straightforward. If there's a chance in the future, I really want to associate with him more."
Zong Fu pondered: "I think you'd better not appear before his eyes and provoke him, right?"
"When an honest person goes mad, it's actually the most terrifying." Xiang Liang also nodded.
Chi Su raised a question: "Are you a devil?"
Seeing that everyone objected, Seeing Yu Lang could only say regretfully: "Then forget it, he's lost a friend he could open his heart to."
Zhao Kuo, on the other hand, paid him no heed, and directly dragged the unconscious Mei Feng into the thicket, where seven or eight people were already lying.
"We've done this much, it's already worthy of Li Luo. One more job, and we can pretty much wrap up." Seeing Yu Lang said.
Everyone nodded, so they made their preparations, while Zhao Kuo walked out of the small forest, ready to open for business again.
And this time the wait did not last long. Zhao Kuo suddenly saw a streak of cyan light flash by like riding the wind from the distance, with the faint whistle of wind.
Zhao Kuo's spirit lifted, and he shouted loudly: "Fellow student, please hold on!"
The wind stopped, and then Zhao Kuo saw a tall figure appear before him — it was a girl with ear-length short hair, carrying a long spear in her hand, her aura not ordinary.
However, when Zhao Kuo saw this girl, the simple and honest smile on his face instantly froze for a moment, and his heart cried out in shock.
Because he recognized her — this girl was none other than the third-ranked Bai Bai Doudou!
This time fishing, they had fished up a shark!
"What is it?" While Zhao Kuo's heart was churning like overturning rivers and seas, Bai Bai Doudou's gaze swept over indifferently as she spoke.
A stiff smile appeared on Zhao Kuo's face, thoughts turning in his mind, and he finally said: "Is this fellow student heading for that Li Luo? We've gathered some people here, all preparing to enter the mountain forest to encircle and suppress Li Luo. If you're interested, you can come along."
Hearing this, Bai Bai Doudou's expression actually stirred slightly. That stretch of mountain forest covered a sizable area; if she searched alone it would indeed take some time, and if someone did the legwork, it would undoubtedly save her a great deal of energy.
So she simply raised her chin.
"Lead the way."
Zhao Kuo sighed inwardly, but without much hesitation. This shark was very fierce, and if released into the stretch of mountain forest where Li Luo was, it would surely pose him an enormous threat. So even if they here couldn't swallow this shark, they still had to stall her for some time.
This might also be the limit of what they could do.
One in front and one behind, the two stepped into the small forest, and Seeing Yu Lang and the others, hearing the movement, immediately came forward with faces full of kindly smiles.
But when Seeing Yu Lang saw the Bai Bai Doudou following behind Zhao Kuo, the smile on his face instantly stiffened, and for that instant he had the impulse to turn tail and run.
Holy shit, Zhao Kuo you idiot, how did you lure this mother-shark over?!
His gaze met Zhao Kuo's briefly, and he saw the latter give him a slight nod, his eyes appearing somewhat grim. Clearly, Zhao Kuo had deliberately led Bai Bai Doudou here.
Seeing Yu Lang understood his meaning, and finally let out a bitter laugh.
It's come to this, what else can be done? So be it. Although it's a bit like throwing an egg against a stone, let's treat it as a special performance — after all, we won't die from it.
"It's you?"
And at this moment, Bai Bai Doudou also saw Seeing Yu Lang, and immediately narrowed her eyes slightly as she spoke.
Seeing Yu Lang put on an awkward smile, then said sincerely: "Hello, Sister Bai. Actually, you're the object of my admiration."
Bai Bai Doudou's gaze swept indifferently over Seeing Yu Lang and the others, and suddenly said: "You're not looking for helpers to deal with Li Luo, you're trapping people here, aren't you?"
Seeing Yu Lang hurriedly said: "Sister Bai, don't slander us."
Bai Bai Doudou said coolly: "There are several people in the thicket with faint breathing — they should be in a comatose state, the previous catches, right?"
Boom!
The instant her voice fell, the iron rod in Zhao Kuo's hands behind her was already wrapped in great force, whistling viciously toward her back.
Cyan phaseforce appeared behind Bai Bai Doudou like a gale, colliding with the iron rod. Zhao Kuo's body shuddered, and he was sent flying backward directly.
"Get her!"
Seeing Yu Lang let out a roar at the sight.
Phase power erupted, and Zong Fu, Xiang Liang, and Chi Su also struck without the slightest hesitation, their fierce attacks sweeping toward Bai Bai Doudou like a torrential downpour.
Bai Bai Doudou tightened her grip on the long spear, a disdainful curve lifting at the corner of her lips.
"A mantis trying to stop a chariot."
A violent burst of wind-phase power exploded forth, and the sharp whistling of wind rose with a howl through the forest.
