Chapter 301: Chapter 299: Discovering Bandits

"This is a secret; if the captain is interested, when we return to the Genius Camp, you can come to my palace alone in the middle of the night, and I will tell you." Seeing Qing Wu’s expression, Xiao Ye couldn’t help but want to tease her.

The members of Dragon Hunting Team widened their eyes in disbelief, extremely impressed with Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye is actually teasing the captain?

"Scatter!"

The next moment, the members of the Dragon Hunting Team scattered for cover.

"In the middle of the night, go alone to your palace?" Qing Wu looked astonished, then realized and blushed.

"Xiao Ye, if you want to die just say it, I will definitely grant your wish." Qing Wu burst out, her immense power forming an unparalleled shockwave.

"Captain, it’s just a joke, no need to take it so seriously?" Xiao Ye was startled, forcing a bitter smile.

Although Qing Wu looks delicate and cute, her personality is really fiery. Her cultivation has reached the Peak of Nine-Revolution Xuanwu, and she is a genius who can fight across realms; if he went up against her, he would only be mistreated.

"As for how I knew in advance the number of Fierce Beasts, that’s a secret, please forgive me for not disclosing it, but it’s harmless for our Dragon Hunting Team," Xiao Ye said.

Qing Wu hesitated for a moment, then finally huffed and withdrew her power.

"For now, since you’re still of use, I’ll let you off," Qing Wu glanced at Xiao Ye and took the lead towards the front.

Seeing Qing Wu move ahead, the members of the Dragon Hunting Team dared to fly back.

"Not bad, just joined the Dragon Hunting Team and dared to tease our captain, you have potential, I look favorably upon you," Kuang Dao said while patting Xiao Ye on the shoulder with a laugh.

Then he leaned in quietly: "Our captain, whether it’s her figure or appearance, is first-class, just a bit hot-tempered. If you can tame her, then you are in luck."

After saying that, Kuang Dao walked off laughing.

"What even is all this?" Xiao Ye followed with a speechless expression.

After the incident with the Fierce Beasts, the Dragon Hunting Team became more cautious, nobody wanted to rely on Jiu Zhu’s help, because the cost was substantial.

Xiao Ye released his Martial Arts True Intent, monitoring any movements within fifteen miles.

"Eight miles to the west, there are roughly two thousand Fierce Beasts; let’s go around," Xiao Ye said sharply, having received feedback from his True Intent.

The members of the Dragon Hunting Team were no longer surprised, and upon hearing Xiao Ye’s words, they followed him in changing directions.

"Now who exactly is the captain!" Qing Wu stomped her foot angrily behind him, glaring fiercely at Xiao Ye’s back, grinding her small tiger teeth like an angry little tiger.

However, it was unavoidable—previous encounters had verified the accuracy of Xiao Ye’s judgments.

Her cultivation was far higher than Xiao Ye’s, but she could only detect up to a five-mile radius. How could she be as extraordinary as Xiao Ye?

However, Qing Wu did not ask further since every Martial Artist has their own secrets, didn’t she?

A five-mile radius was sensitive enough to alert some keen Fierce Beasts, and two thousand Fierce Beasts were not a small number; they would naturally avoid if possible.

"Who exactly is this guy?" Qing Wu followed, and Xiao Ye gradually became more mysterious in her eyes.

Time slowly passed, and soon it was the third day since the group arrived in the forest. The Dragon Hunting Team had yet to find any trace of bandits and had even lost contact with Xiang Nan’s Team and Mo Ye Team.

In the vast forest, it was difficult even to discern directions, let alone find bandits.

Fortunately, having Xiao Ye, they could detect the traces of Fierce Beasts early, so the Dragon Hunting Team did not suffer any losses.

"Damn, this task is too crazy, such a huge forest, where to find bandits?" Kuang Dao couldn’t help but complain.

Xiao Ye was also helpless, but such matters could not be rushed; they had already traveled at least five thousand miles in three days.

Half a month later, Xiao Ye suddenly raised his palm while walking at the front of the group, causing the members of the Dragon Hunting Team to immediately stop.

"What’s wrong? Are there Fierce Beasts ahead?" Qing Wu quickly asked.

The members of the Dragon Hunting Team also looked toward Xiao Ye.

"No," Xiao Ye showed a slight smile on his face, "it’s Xiang Nan’s Team and Mo Ye Team, they might have found the bandits."

His integrated Martial Arts True Intent detected, about fourteen miles away in the dense forest, Mo Ye Team and Xiang Nan’s Team were joining forces to attack a robust-looking team.

Judging by their attire and appearance, they were likely the targets of the mission issued by King Xingyun.

"What!"

The members of the Dragon Hunting Team were startled at first, then overjoyed. After searching the forest for half a month, they finally found traces of the bandits.

"What are we waiting for? If we let Xiang Nan’s Team and Mo Ye Team get ahead, we’ll return empty-handed!" Qing Wu rushed out like a gust of wind toward the front.

"Charge!" The people of the Dragon Hunting Team burst out with all their strength, following Qing Wu.

Swoosh!

Xiao Ye’s speed was average among the Dragon Hunting Team, but still manageable to keep up.

At that moment, the Dragon Hunting Team did not realize that a figure appeared above the heavens—it was Jiu Zhu.

"This child, has he comprehended a unique Martial Arts True Intent? The scope of detection is so vast." Jiu Zhu’s eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment.

During this period, he had constantly released his consciousness, and every move of the three teams was within his detection, especially focusing on Xiao Ye.

With Jiu Zhu’s cultivation, the range covered by his consciousness was far beyond what Xiao Ye could match.

Mystic Martial Martial Artists couldn’t notice Xiao Ye’s integrated Martial Arts True Intent, but Void Martial Realm Experts could.

"This kind of Martial Arts True Intent has far exceeded the ordinary Martial Arts True Intent by ten percent..." Jiu Zhu frowned and murmured.

No matter how hard he racked his brain, he couldn’t figure out the origin of the integrated Martial Arts True Intent.

However, True Spirit Continent was full of geniuses, so Jiu Zhu did not pay too much attention to it and vanished in a flash above the Heaven.

Fourteen miles, for a Mystic Martial Martial Artist, if they unleashed all their strength, it was merely the time of a few breaths.

"We’re here!" Qing Wu was the first one to arrive at the scene, her beautiful eyes fiercely glinting as she scanned the whole area.

"Miss Qing Wu, you are a bit late. What I hold in my hands is the last bandit." Guo Tao clasped a middle-aged man’s neck in his palm, mockingly looking at Qing Wu.

In fact, as soon as the Dragon Hunting Team entered his Martial Arts True Intent detection range, he had already noticed them.

The members of Mo Ye Team and Xiang Nan’s Team were all looking at Qing Wu and the following Dragon Hunting Team with cold sneers.

Qing Wu’s piercing gaze swept across, only to find the Heavenly Tree in the center had completely collapsed, the area was a mess, and there were corpses lying haphazardly across the ground, flesh and blood blurred.

"It seems that the whereabouts of the remaining bandits is known only by this man." Xiao Ye caught up and looked at the middle-aged man in Guo Tao’s hands.

There were only about thirty bandits that had died, clearly only a part of the bandits as Jiu Zhu had mentioned before that they numbered over a hundred.

Killing ordinary bandits also earned Contribution Points, but the biggest reward came from the bandit leader.

Thus, the middle-aged man, whose life and death were under Guo Tao’s control, became crucial.

"Ding Yi, Guo Tao, there are many bandits, and their strength is not weak, we need to join hands to possibly complete the mission," Qing Wu said gravely.

Hearing this, Guo Tao scornfully shook his head: "Indeed, we need to join hands, but having Xiang Nan’s Team and Mo Ye Team is enough; as for you Dragon Hunters, just roll back to the Genius Camp."

After saying that, Guo Tao moved his palm, and the middle-aged man screamed miserably as his neck was twisted and broken, his corpse falling to the ground.

Qing Wu’s pretty face drastically changed, angrily staring at Guo Tao.

"Ha-ha, I could have executed this man long ago. I waited till now just to enjoy your current expression; indeed, it’s quite spectacular."

"Now, only I and Guo Tao know the whereabouts of the bandit leader; the angrier you get, the happier I am!" Guo Tao laughed heartily looking up.

"You!" Members of the Dragon Hunting Team heard this, their eyes fired up.

Even Xiao Ye’s gaze turned icy.

"Just obediently go back to the Genius Camp, leave the rest to us, and don’t think about following us." Bald Ding Yi stepped forward, suddenly releasing a handful of red powder towards the Dragon Hunting Team.

"What is this?" Qing Wu shouted, unleashing a powerful wave of energy, blowing the red powder away.

However, unprepared, four members of the Dragon Hunting Team still got stained with the red powder.

"Ha-ha, enjoy the gift we left, let’s go!" Ding Yi laughed heartily, charging ahead.

Swish!

Swish!

Xiang Nan’s Team and Mo Ye Team’s members coldly glanced at the Dragon Hunting Team, their figures gradually disappearing into the forest.

"This is Fierce Beast Powder; it can induce ferocity in beasts. Even miles away, beasts can smell it." Kuang Dao’s expression changed drastically as he too was tainted.

Hearing this, Xiao Ye was shocked, and then anger surged within him.

Such venomous schemes from Ding Yi and Guo Tao.

Due to the Fierce Beast Powder, if they followed them, more and more ferocious beasts would be attracted due to the powder, and even Qing Wu would not be spared.

With Jiu Zhu present, they indeed had no fear for their lives, but every time Jiu Zhu took action, they had to surrender two hundred thousand Contribution Points, a price the Dragon Hunting Team couldn’t afford.

"Too shameless!" Kuang Dao roared.

No need to say more, Guo Tao was clearly retaliating against them.

Seeing Xiang Nan’s Team and Mo Ye Team stretching further away, yet they couldn’t follow them, the feeling of suffocation was unbearable.

"Quickly find some water to wash it off," Qing Wu bit her teeth hard, helplessly said.

Xiao Ye’s gaze was icy cold; taking a step forward, his integrated Martial Arts True Intent released, every move of Xiang Nan’s Team and Mo Ye Team fully detected, without them realizing it.

"Those stained with Fierce Beast Powder go find water to wash; I will follow them, leaving marks along the way," Xiao Ye stated coldly.

Ding Yi and Guo Tao would have never expected Xiao Ye’s integrated Martial Arts True Intent to be so powerful.
