142 Whos the Bandit? 2 (1/2)

”Zhan Yu, come back quickly!” Zhang Wu Ji ordered the Servant Puppet to retreats as he continues with what he's here for. Looking at the pitiful cub that Sheng wanted him to kill, Zhang Wu Ji hesitates.

[Master! Your action will be similar to sending a disaster into the realm because of a hint of pity!]

”Sheng.”

[Yes, Master]

”I can't do it. Instead, I will take care of this little thing and make sure it will not become what you said.” Zhang Wu Ji expresses his stubbornness in handling this matter his way.

[I'm only advising master. Since you're confident in handling this matter yourself, I'll stop saying too much about it]

Sheng retreated as he knows Zhang Wu Ji's stubbornness when it comes to such a matter. Instead of forcing him too much, Sheng would rather spend the effort in somewhere else instead.

[Master. The incoming bandits kill your guide before he speaks]

Zhan Yu reported what happened earlier from what it had seen. As the Servant Puppet is heading back to where he can in top speed, Zhang Wu Ji needs to complete what he was here for.

”Silver-Coin Panthers! Do all of you wants to follow me? I'll take care of all of you.” Zhang Wu Ji said. But before he can react, the youngest hops to his side, telling the others he will follow this human.

Looking at each another, the younger cubs did not resist themselves from following this human, but the parents hesitate. There was too much to consider, especially their stay, their meal, and their growth.

But as they considered, Zhan Yu returned. Following behind him is a group of bandits armed and ready to fight. Unexpected by themselves, the bandit's action completely destroyed their own positive impression within the Silver-Coin Panther's Parents.

The parents lowered their head and plea for their allegiance. With this submission, Zhang Wu Ji kept all of them into his System Realm and turned to face the bandits.

”Brat! How dare you try to rob the Xuan Wu Bandit Fortress as it's protectors! Releases the Silver-Coin Panthers and we might consider leaving you with a complete corpse!” the seventh of the eight Fortress Leader said.

”How about you guys let me leave? I'll restrain myself from killing everyone.” Zhang Wu Ji threatened them in reply to their first warning. Due to his sweet looking Jade-fair appearance, his words failed.

”BRAT! Don't blame all of us then!” the Fortress Leader pointed at the youth and ordered his men to attack, but in reply to their actions, Zhang Wu Ji did not escape. A miniature toy was taken out and activated.

”Celestial Tools! Everyone pay attention!” the Fortress Leader warned. Too bad, it was a little too late. A quiver appeared on the ground where Zhang Wu Ji stands, and when it was activated, a rain of two hundred arrows struck them hard.

”This brat possess a Celestial Tool! Everyone retreats! We will stop him at the base of the hill!” the Fortress Leader shouts as he leads their retreat. Forced to fight under this situation is extremely unprofitable.

”Fortress Leader, how if the enemy has a Flying Tool or a Tender? He can escape the moment he came out from the nest!” one of the bandits questioned his decision.

”Fool! Do you think that Flying Tool or a Flying Ship so easy to get? If it is, then all the bandits are robbing people in the air, not ground! I'll slap myself if he's capable of taking out a Flying Tool!” the Fortress Leader continued as he answers his subordinate's question.

But the moment all of them turned around, an Iron Kong-Que is flying above them and left. All they can do is looking at the bird and their Fortress Leader.

”He really got a Flying Tool!” The Fortress Leader can feel the embarrassment under the gaze of his subordinates.

”What are all of you looking at? Chase him! Chase him!” to get rid of the shame, he shouts at his subordinates to follow the youth. But one in the forest, another flying, the latter's speed overcomes those on the ground.

After a while of a cat and mouse chasing, Zhang Wu Ji left them and headed straight to a Fortress.

”Oh, shit! I just left a tiger's mouth and entered the lion's den!” Zhang Wu Ji blamed himself for his lack of sense in direction and also his bad luck in getting into the bandit's den instead of escaping.

”How will I do if there are more bandits within their den?” Zhang Wu Ji worries made him whispered in his head. But remember that his Heaven Glancing Bloodline allows him to magnify his sight, Zhang Wu Ji activates it as his life depends on it.

At this moment, one of the little cubs inside of his System Realm growls and fall asleep. A hint of undiscoverable energy was release, unknown of where did it go.

”Oh my god! How can such a big Bandit's Den has no bandits at all!” Zhang Wu Ji was surprised by what he saw. Even in his wildest dream, an empty Bandit's Den is rarely seen.

”Was it because all of them comes out to chase me? Impossible, their number is too small to disturb the population in this Bandit Fortress.”

”Was it because I killed most of them? Impossible as well... My total kill is between 300 to 400 bandits including those I killed earlier before my escape.”

”Well, who cares. The entire Xuan Wu Bandit Fortress is before me! If I don't rob them, who will? Let this Zhang Wu Ji get this challenge done!” Zhang Wu Ji charged into the base of the Xuan Wu Bandit Fortress, unaware of his recklessness.

”OU!” the second cub growls and fall asleep.

Zhang Wu Ji's momentum was pretty great. His recklessness allowed him to charge inside the Fortress without alarming their Defensive Array. Without any alarm is ringing, Zhang Wu Ji existence within their fortress is unknown to them.

The Heaven Glancing Bloodline was used once again, and Zhang Wu Ji quickly found everything that's worth robbing. Afraid that the bandits might come back in the middle of his robbery, Zhang Wu Ji headed straight to the location seems to be their treasury.

At the same moment.

”Ai! I forget to take the key away from our room.” one of the Fortress Leader said. But before he made his way back, another bandit stopped him from leaving.

”Leave it. Even intruders wanted to enter the Fortress, they'll have to break through our three Xuan Wu Shield Formation. A defensive formation, alarming formation, and restriction formation, how many people can get through so easily?” another Fortress Leader said.

”Fine. Hopefully, Chief, the two Vice-Chiefs, and Four Protectors quickly come back. I don't want to be punished for the sake of forgetting a key.” the Fortress Leader said.

And back to Zhang Wu Ji.

He's standing before a door into the Treasure Vault, but because it can only be opened by a key, Zhang Wu Ji felt that it was risky for him to destroy the door.

But at the same moment, the third cub growls and fall asleep. The parents were busy licking their two remaining cubs so both will fall asleep.
