Chapter 98 – Leopard-shaped Demons
“How many credits did your guys obtain so far?” Suddenly, Qinghan raised his head with sparkling eyes, and asked expectantly.
“We’ve almost accumulated 5,000 credits!” Feeling a little bit awkward, Ye Yi responded immediately.
“Ohh, that’s great! Did you guys have any plans for the near future? I mean, would you like to join our team, or do you prefer to continue fighting separately?” By firmly nodding his head, Qinghan showed his appreciation for Ye Yi and his team’s efforts. After all, the larger-sized super elite team, formed by the four families, had gained, so far, less than 4, 000 credits…
Before the Sickle Team had put itself in the limelight of the war, they had reaped a lot of credits with their bait-and-lurk strategy. On the other hand, unlike the young lords in the super elite team, the members of the Sickle Team were all fearless death warriors, who were adopted by the Ye Family, which had ended their life on the streets. Initially, when they had launched their first few fights in this forest, they were regarded as members of mediocre background. Therefore, no one would pay much attention to them. It wasn’t until they had slaughtered many demons and barbarians, that people started to pay close attention to this team.
With a grim smile, Ye Yi shook his head, as he stared at Qinghan, “Follow your team? Young lord Qignhan, we’ve heard along our way, that your team already enjoys a much greater reputation than us. It’s dangerous and your team might already be targeted by the enemies! So for our team, we shall continue to fight behind the scene, I mean, not in the name of the Ye Family. The reason why I arranged this meeting, was to warn you of the enemies’ new strategy, and to tell you to stay alert. Don’t slip into their trap! Security should be the number one priority at the current stage. Remember, young lord, there are more roads that lead to that same goal, the Spirit Immortal Dan, and not every one of those road asks of you to put your life on the line. Anyway, take care!”
“Yeah, you’re absolutely right. Starting tomorrow, we’ll continue to increase our efforts in patrolling. Big brother, you should take extreme care of yourself. Please rest assured, we’ll seek revenge for Ninth Brother once we find an opportunity!” Shisan exchanged a glance with Qinghan, as they prepared to leave, for the super team must’ve marched quite a distance by now, and they still had to catch up.
Ye Yi and the others returned into the cave, after seeing Qinghan and Shisan off.
“Big brother, what shall we do next?” Ye San couldn’t help but ask.
“What shall we do? Alas, perhaps we should learn from our young lord, and imitate their strategy. I mean, we’ll fight within our abilities. If the enemies we encounter are easy to be brought down, we’ll definitely slaughter them. Whilst if the enemies are too difficult to one-sidedly slaughter, then we’ll just run away. Anyway, we have to dilute some of the attention our young lord’s team gets. Everyone has his own destiny; this is the most we can do. My brothers, stay alive, for we have a prosperous future awaiting us after this mission…”
Upon meeting with the super elite team, which had taken them half an hour to catch up to, Shisan immediately ordered to further enlarge the area of patrolling, from the previous 2.5 kilometers to 5 kilometers. Although this was a laborious task, they were willing to multiply their efforts, since they were all told of the new tactic of the demons and barbarians.
It had been four months since their arrival on Ghost Island. In total, the super elite team had only earned around 4,000 credits, which made Qinghan exceptionally anxious. Yet never had Qinghan put any pressure on his team members, he simply didn’t mention it verbally. The team members, on the other hand, were fully aware of the urgent situation, and hoped to gather as many credits as possible in the days to come, by killing some randomly-encountered teams from other races.
Nevertheless, not a single demonic or barbarian team came into view, as they marched forward. The situation now was absurdly unusual.
“How is Ye Yi, and his team?”
Suddenly, Qingwu popped up beside Qinghan, speaking in a tone of anxiety.
“Ye Jiu lost one of his arms, and Yao Kaka is the one to blame.” Out of fury, Qinghan clenched his teeth so hard that some blue veins vaguely emerged on his forehead.
“Oh, No!” Qingwu also bit her ruddy lower lip in indignation, and sighed helplessly, “It’s lucky that he escaped in the end. It’s better to live with one arm, than it is to die. Our family will surely compensate him later on!”
