Chapter 1248 - 75: Teammates Like Pigs
"Overestimating themselves, they truly believe that just by entering the Bahuang Mountain Range, they are qualified to seek the Sky Fox Inheritance." Hu Linglong glanced ahead.
After entering the Bahuang Mountain Range, she did not immediately search for the Sky Fox Inheritance Pillar but instead lay in ambush on a key road leading into the mountains.
Two Heavenly Fox Candidate Saintesses had already died by her hands.
Finding the Sky Fox Inheritance Pillar also requires luck. Although Hu Linglong prided herself on her exceptional strength, the more the number of candidate saintesses, the lower her chances of victory.
This time, with Green also arriving at the Hu Capital, she was determined to show him that only she was the most suitable future Clan Leader’s Wife of the Jiuluan Clan.
Hu Linglong planned to find isolated, weaker Heavenly Fox Candidate Saintesses and kill them one by one!
Hu Linglong and the candidate saintess from the Hu Capital killed a few Heavenly Fox Candidate Saintesses and then lay low.
From behind, there came a sound of footsteps as Feng Lian, Hua Yanluo, and Qin Yue hurriedly approached.
One person was easy to kill, but encountering several people made ambush killings much more difficult.
"Tch, these women aren’t stupid, knowing to move together," Hu Linglong’s eyes darkened, realizing she had missed the best opportunity to strike.
Her figure flickered, and together with the candidate saintess from the Hu Capital, she disappeared into the woods.
Hu Linglong and her group did not notice that during her killing of the Sky Fox tribespeople, there was a bird perched high on a branch.
This bird was different from ordinary birds; it had three heads, each with feathers of different colors—yellow, white, and red.
After the women left, the three-headed bird fluttered down to the ground and transformed into a person with three heads.
"Big brother, those women just now were from the Sky Fox Tribe." Among the three heads, the white-haired man spoke.
"After waiting for so many days, they finally appeared," the red-haired man agreed.
"They are from the Sky Fox Tribe, but the woman we are looking for has not yet arrived." The blond man took out a picture, which contained a portrait of Yun Sheng.
"Big brother, it’s merely a half-beast; do we really need the three of us to take action?" These three brothers looked strange and appeared to have unfathomable power.
"Ordinary Sky Foxes do not interest me, but since that esteemed person has spoken, we must go all out," the blond man snorted.
"It’s almost dark. We should wait until then to seize the opportunity to act," the blond man concealed his face as the three-headed man transformed once again into a three-headed bird, landing silently on a branch, waiting patiently for night to fall.
In the low air, behind Yun Sheng, Lu Yunshuang, and Chen Qi, variously colored magic wings and ice wings shone, rapidly passing by.
Having confirmed that only in the depths of the Eight Desolates Mountain Range could the high-level Heavenly Fox Inheritance Pillar be found, Yun Sheng was unwilling to waste too much time along the way. She also anticipated that Hu Linglong and Yu Shang would cause interference.
She only wanted to complete this martial trial quickly and exchange the cure for Bo Bo and Little Yingying from Elder Liu.
"The sky is already dark. Nighttime is the most dangerous time in the Bahuang Mountain Range. There is an open field ahead; we should land and rest for the night," Lu Yunshuang suggested as the sunset gradually receded.
At this hour, a large number of night-flying magical beasts flew out of the forest, making the mountains even more perilous.
The three of them landed swiftly, finding several tents on the open ground.
The Youdu duo, along with Hu Linglong and a Heavenly Fox Candidate Saintess, plus Yun Sheng and her companions, totaled only over ten people.
These people naturally gathered around Hu Linglong and Yu Shang, forming two factions.
This was not surprising; Hu Linglong had the highest status among all candidate saintesses, and Yu Shang was temporarily the strongest. Both of them were purebreds, so other candidate saintesses naturally sought to curry favor.
"This plot of land has already been chosen by me and Yu Shang. You have no right to stay here. Get out immediately," Hu Linglong assumed a distant and dismissive stance upon seeing Yun Sheng and the others.
This piece of land was flat, with a wide, unobstructed view, even if there was a night attack; one could see it clearly. Missing this place would make it difficult to find another suitable overnight spot.
"The Bahuang Mountain Range isn’t yours. Why should we leave!" Yun Sheng’s face was displeased.
"Simply because you are a half-breed of unclear origin. Both of you, remember this well: anyone who stays with this half-blood tonight can forget about staying here," Hu Linglong arrogantly declared, with the Heavenly Fox Candidate Saintesses behind her agreeing.
"The many obey the few, so I’d advise you all to leave. Yun Sheng, no matter how strong you are, you are no match for me and Hu Linglong." Yu Shang spoke with a tone of peacekeeping, but there was an underlying threat in her words.
"Wait, I have nothing to do with her. It was bad luck that put us together. I hereby declare I’m leaving the Fengdu team," Chen Qi said, quickly abandoning her teammate to join Hu Linglong’s group.
It would be a joke to go through the Bahuang Mountain Range’s night without a suitable camp. It was better to let Yun Sheng, that mixed-blood bastard, die.
"Lu Yunshuang, what about you? Considering your decent skills, if you leave that bastard, we might consider taking you in," Hu Linglong couldn’t wait for Yun Sheng to be abandoned by everyone.
In the Bahuang Mountain, threats were unpredictable. The more isolated Yun Sheng was, the higher her chances of death.
"Chen Qi, you’ll regret this." Lu Yunshuang coldly retorted, proving her response through her actions.
The two were forced to leave the campsite.
"Actually, you didn’t need to offend those people because of me." Yun Sheng was quite touched by Lu Yunshuang’s actions.
This girl from the Ice Fox Clan appeared cold on the outside, but she was indeed very loyal to her friends.
Not to mention anything else, just because she didn’t betray her at a critical moment, Yun Sheng decided to help Lu Yunshuang change her physique after the Saintess Selection was settled.
"Even without you, I wouldn’t associate with Hu Linglong or Yu Shang. But, what should we do next?" Lu Yunshuang had heard many legends about this mountain range before entering the Bahuang Mountain Range.
The nights here were anything but peaceful.
Especially deep within the mountains, there might be hordes of holy-grade magical beasts roaming.
Such beasts, one or two wouldn’t be an issue, but encountering hundreds or thousands would leave her and Yun Sheng helpless.
"What to do? Haha, naturally, we return the favor. If those women don’t want us to have a place of rest, we can’t let them have a peaceful night." Yun Sheng smiled, waving her hand, and both the King of Ghost Evil and the Night Charm Queen appeared before her.
