333 Boy! (1/2)

On the fifth afternoon since Su Ming left Frozen Ice Sky, the wind blew gently while the sun shone brilliantly, and the clouds spread out in the sky like scales. The sun was bright and illuminated the plains. It was as if the light had fused with the wind itself and was blowing through the grass, causing rustling sounds to fill the air.

Wu Duo was charging forward at an extremely high speed in the form of a long arc. Su Ming was by his side, his robes were fluttering in the wind. His face was the epitome of relaxation, and his thoughts could not be read from his expression.

He did not choose to travel behind Wu Duo. After all, the two of them had just gotten to know each other, and the process in which they got acquainted had not been on good terms. That was why there was no need for him to do anything that would lead to misunderstandings.

This was the reason why while Su Ming and Wu Duo’s distance between each other did not seem too far away when anyone lifted their heads and looked up, but in truth, they were about 1,000 feet apart from each other.

As they charged forth, Wu Duo would intentionally lower his speed and observe Su Ming, but no matter how many times he observed him, he could not find any clues. He could not tell where Su Ming came from, so he turned his attention to the Fire Ape, which was also traveling with them right beside Su Ming.

‘This Mo Su might not seem old, but his actions are experienced. His words are also very sharp. It’s clear that he’s not someone who has just left his clan or tribe. He’s also a very independent person, and his goals are very clear. If it wasn’t because I tempted him by saying he can gain achievements by killing Shamans, he would have definitely not agreed to come with me.

‘So, by this alone, it can be said that he’s not without weaknesses. This person’s desire to gain achievements is great…’

The ape was a new type and was not something Wu Duo knew of. The more he observed it, the more mysterious he found Su Ming. It was not as if there was no malice within Wu Duo’s heart, but that malice slowly diminished by a large amount due to his uncertainty towards the mystery surrounding his new travel companion.

Su Ming could see all of Wu Duo’s actions. He might not know what the other was thinking of, but he could guess it somewhat. His guesses might not be perfect, but he knew that if he continued keeping his silence, Wu Duo would not dare act recklessly. This could be clearly seen from how he had continued to follow Su Ming, choosing not to attack.

‘This person is a skeptic. Perhaps this is his virtue, but it is also his weakness. Unless absolutely certain, a sceptical person will not attack easily.’

Su Ming averted his gaze from Wu Duo, then calmly continued to travel in a long arc that sliced through the sky.

Time slowly passed by as the both of them pondered over their own thoughts. When noon was gone, Wu Duo suddenly came to a halt, and Su Ming also stopped 1,000 feet behind him.

Wu Duo closed his eyes as if he was using some sort of special method to check their surroundings. After some time, he opened them and spoke grimly.

”Brother Mo, there are Shamans right in front of us!”

In truth, Wu Duo had deliberately put on this face. He did not know whether there were any Shamans around the area, but he knew the place which he had set to meet with the Shamans for the trade.

He would receive Shaman Crystals in exchange of providing the method for them to change into Berserkers. That was the original plan, but after he ran into Su Ming, Wu Duo changed his plans.

He did not want to provide them with the method to hide their identities as Shamans, but he also wanted to obtain Shaman Crystals.

”From what I can sense, there is only one person in front. The fluctuations from that person’s power aren’t strong, so he should be a Fledgeling Battle Shaman. It won’t be hard for me to kill him, so to show my sincerity, you can just watch by the side. I will handle this on my own!” Wu Duo stared at Su Ming and a smile appeared on his face, but there was a freezing glint in his eyes.

It was clear that the chilling gaze was not directed towards Su Ming, however.

Once Su Ming heard the words, he nodded, but in his heart, he remained dubious about the mystical ability Wu Duo used to locate Shamans.

Wu Duo’s eyes shone with a freezing glint, and he took a swift step forward, charging towards the end of the plains. He was so quick that in the blink of an eye, he had already traveled 1,000 feet. Like a shooting star falling down, he grew increasingly closer to the land.

Su Ming followed behind him with a gaze like lightning as he stared at where Wu Duo was going.

The moment Wu Duo descended on the land, a person suddenly stood up from the grass. That person was incredibly tall, and he wore a leather helmet with bull horns on it. A ghastly presence surrounded that person, and a huge gust of wind rose, following his act of standing up, causing the grass around the area to continuously sway around.

There was a Totem on the man’s face, but that Totem was rather dull. It could not be seen clearly. The only thing that was easy to see was the vertical scar on the man’s lips, causing them to look as if they had been split into four, making all those who saw the man to be terrified.

The moment the man saw Wu Duo charging towards him from midair, his dull eyes instantly brightened up and he grinned, but it was horrifying to see his lips split apart. There were even a few fat maggots that crawled out of the man’s mouth as he grinned, falling out with their bodies twisting.

Wu Duo originally traveled really quickly, but when he got closer and saw the man’s lips, along with the maggots inside his mouth, his expression instantly changed.

He came to an abrupt halt. The moment he was about to begin his retreat, the scarred man lifted his head and let out a low growl. That growl was filled with wickedness, and as he growled, he leaped forth and spread his arms wide open to envelop Wu Duo.

Su Ming was standing somewhere far away in midair and had his eyes fixed on the scene. The moment he saw that man, his pupils shrank. That man was filled with a thick aura of death around him, but it did not spill out from within his body before he revealed himself. Clearly, he had concealed it within himself.
