Even the heavy rain seemed to be corroded by the dark mist, with every drop of rain falling being pitch black.
It didn't look like rain; it looked more like the heavens were pouring out black, dirty water from a brush-washing basin.
Even through the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform, Mingxi could smell a foul, unpleasant odor.
“Boom!”
As they approached, the sounds of fighting grew more intense and clear.
Mingxi frowned.
Being closer, she not only heard the cries of Transcendent creatures but also human voices.
More than one person.
Mingxi’s brow furrowed; if one of them was Shen Linhua, then who was the other person?
An Instructor or a student from the Joint Training Camp?
Could Shen Linhua really be a wanted criminal? Instructor Chu wouldn’t be so deceitful, would he?
The more Mingxi thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
“Golden Yuanbao, Little Silver Flower, both of you shrink your sizes. We’ll try to sneak past as much as possible,” she whispered.
No matter what the situation was over there, they had to figure it out first.
If there really were Instructors or students among the people in conflict, then they might be in danger!
Mingxi was very cautious. Just in case, she first sent a message to Chu Kuangsheng, informing him of her discovery.
She also stated that if he didn't receive another message from her in five minutes, it meant she might be in trouble.
“...At that time, Instructor Chu, please be sure to come and save me! I beg you!” freewebnøvel.com
Worried that Chu Kuangsheng might be unreliable, she also told Chen Haiyan.
Double insurance.
Reliable!
Golden Yuanbao and Little Silver Flower were equally alert. Upon hearing her, they immediately shrank their forms and moved even more cautiously.
Trying not to make a sound.
“Er Zhuang, hold on, Er Zhuang!”
The man’s voice was a bit breathless, but his tone was calm.
At this moment, another person’s voice also rang out, “Heh heh, naive. If holding on was useful, why would we need so many skills?”
Compared to the former, this voice was as rough as sandpaper rubbing, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as extremely unpleasant.
Moreover, the evil aura emanating from the voice was as if this person was a malevolent ghost crawling up from hell.
It was like someone had poured a layer of feces on an already unpalatable food.
Just the voice alone was very damaging.
Mingxi frowned.
Both voices were unfamiliar; she was certain they were absolutely not Instructors or students from their Joint Training Camp.
Although she didn't interact much with everyone because she was too busy.
But remembering the names, appearances, and voices of companions was polite.
Mingxi gestured for silence to Golden Yuanbao and the others, and even more carefully maneuvered the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform forward.
Amidst the strong winds and heavy rain, the battle scene not far away finally revealed itself to them.
Mingxi’s eyes widened in shock, almost failing to control her gasp.
“Ji Gang!”
Yes, one of the two people fiercely battling was indeed the B-level wanted criminal, that perverted serial killer Ji Gang.
He was one of the B-level missions she had seen when she went to the Haizhou City Beastmaster Association—arrest or kill the circulating serial killer Ji Gang.
At that time, she had seriously noted down Ji Gang’s personal information, thinking that if she ever encountered him, she would at least know he was a pervert.
That’s why she could recognize him at a glance now.
Mingxi: “...”
She swallowed, then silently shifted her gaze to the other side, looking at the... youth who was slaying a dragon.
Unexpected, yet not unexpected, it was also a face she had only seen on a terminal screen.
Very good, I finally found you, Comrade Shen Linhua!
But he seemed to be dying soon.
She wondered if finding a dead person would count as completing the mission?
“Ji Gang, do you think you can escape? I’ve already contacted General Instructor Chu Kuangsheng of the Joint Training Camp, and he’ll be here soon!”
Shen Linhua was soaked and leaned against the trunk of a large tree in a disheveled state.
His right hand clutched his pierced abdomen, and his pale face was almost devoid of color.
In the Beast Taming era, it was forbidden to command pet beasts to harm Beast Tamers, but clearly, such human-made rules could not restrain a heinous killer like Ji Gang.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become a B-level wanted criminal.
“Heh heh heh...”
Ji Gang sneered, “Are you trying to fool a ghost?
You wouldn't know yet, would you, that as long as you enter within two hundred meters of my area, your personal terminal’s signal will be blocked?
Contact Chu Kuangsheng?
Why don’t you make him appear before me, then!”
Upon hearing this, Shen Linhua’s already pale face grew even whiter.
He had originally wanted to use Chu Da Tou’s notorious name to intimidate Ji Gang, but he hadn't expected that pervert Ji Gang to carry a signal jammer with him.
And his personal terminal had been snatched by Chu Da Tou the day they landed on the island, so he didn't even know.
Now this was good.
He was BBQ’d.
He must have had eight lifetimes of bad luck to be stuck with a best friend like Chu Kuangsheng.
He had been ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) tricked by him since childhood and never learned his lesson. This time, he was conned into coming to this desolate, godforsaken Lantern Ghost Island, under the guise of being a 'Lucky Easter Egg'.
In reality, it was wilderness survival!
And it was his wilderness survival alone!
Wilderness survival was one thing; he wasn't afraid of such hardship.
After all, when he was eight years old, he dared to accompany Chu Da Tou into their family’s Mystic Ground and survive for three months with zero supplies.
But to encounter a B-level wanted criminal while surviving was just too much!
“Chu Da Tou, if this young master dies today, I won’t let you off even as a ghost!”
Shen Linhua cursed Chu Kuangsheng to hell in his heart.
But as things stood, no amount of complaining would help; all he could do was switch modes—desperate survival.
“Da Zhuang, use Underworld Domain Suppression, then go help Er Zhuang!”
The Da Zhuang he spoke of was a Youhuang Underworld Butterfly, an Emperor-level insect and ghost dual-attribute Transcendent creature.
Da Zhuang was his first pet beast, and also the strongest among all his pet beasts.
The Youhuang Underworld Butterfly’s individual combat power was very strong; occasionally, it could even solo Chu Da Tou’s Saint-level pet beast, Heaven-Slaying Undefeated!
If he had encountered any other B-level wanted criminal today instead of Ji Gang, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
This guy Ji Gang was not only a pervert, but his talent for nurturing pet beasts was equally perverse.
He was roughly the same age as him but already possessed two Emperor-level, two King-level, and one General-level pet beasts.
They were the Emperor-level Transcendent creature One Kill, Nine-tailed Eye, the King-level Transcendent creatures Golden Winged Magic Peng King, Arankola, and the General-level Transcendent creature Huanxing Tree.
Among them, One Kill, known as the Flame Divine Dragon, had always been famous in the Alliance for its super strong combat power.
His Da Zhuang could at most fight to a draw with the opponent, barely holding back their offensive.
But the other Emperor-level Nine-tailed Eye was enough to wipe out him and his remaining pet beasts.
Because he didn't have a second Emperor-level pet beast, and Er Zhuang was just a Liusui Elf, whose main ability was support, and whose strength was only King-level.
Just now, Er Zhuang was even injured in its tentacles and wings by the Nine-tailed Eye while protecting him.
It was now stubbornly holding back the Nine-tailed Eye, but it had clearly reached its limit.
If this continued, Er Zhuang would be killed!
