Chapter 631: Chapter 631: Five Poisons, Assemble!

Atop the hillside, Lin Fan lay flat on the ground.

Kneeling by his side, Zhao Jiaqi continued to tirelessly use the Recovery Skill.

In the distance, the three emperors were still besieging the monster with the head of a tiger and the body of a mantis.

It has to be said, that creature is quite difficult to kill.

Even with the three emperors joining hands, they couldn’t seem to bring it down quickly.

"That’s enough, take a rest for a while, I am already feeling much better."

Seeing the intense battle over there, it seemed like it would soon be over.

Only then did Lin Fan speak to Zhao Jiaqi.

"Can you stop acting so tough? Look at your leg, your bones are still showing. Do you really think you are immune to swords and guns, indestructible as diamond, always playing the tough guy?"

Zhao Jiaqi looked at Lin Fan’s left leg, where a piece had been torn away, cutting off a large chunk of flesh.

Having known him for so long, this was the first time she had seen him so severely injured.

"Are you worried about me?"

Lin Fan smiled at Zhao Jiaqi.

Her serious demeanor was indeed somewhat touching.

"Don’t flatter yourself, who’s worried about you... I’m just doing my job as a team leader; hide that lecherous head of yours. I’m not some love-struck fool."

Zhao Jiaqi quickly denied it outright.

"Then why didn’t you leave just now? Isn’t that like dying for love?"

Lin Fan winked with a mischievous smile.

Just now, she had been holding him, crying quite heartbreakingly.

"Nonsense, that was the bond of comrades who share life and death. Don’t play the lovestruck prince here. I am not one of your love-struck women. Remember, I am just your comrade, nothing more."

Zhao Jiaqi gave Lin Fan a punch in the chest, her expression serious.

One has to admit, their physical contact might not be less than that of Li Qiqi.

But their relationship had always been in an awkward place.

They were neither lovers nor close friends.

Yet there was always that feeling that something was so complicated they couldn’t cut ties or sort it out.

"Alright, alright, my good comrade. Then, can you explain to me why the giant rat was aware of this mission? Just now the emperors mentioned that none of the other transport routes had any issues, yet all the expert forces were concentrated on us. This is no longer a matter of bad luck."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes.

The severe injuries this time were not a big deal, but the identity of the giant rat made him even more puzzled.

The route this time was personally selected by the emperors, and even Zhao Jiaqi didn’t know she was escorting the most important materials.

So, how did the giant rat know?

"You’re asking me, but who do I ask? What I’m really curious about is, what was that surprise strategy you mentioned just now?"

Zhao Jiaqi knew she couldn’t figure it out, so she didn’t dwell on it.

But Lin Fan’s words to the Divine Emperor had made her very curious.

"Of course, I have a way to replace the Wind Stabilizing Pearl, but I won’t reveal it until we catch the giant rat. After all, if there is still danger, the enemy might have a chance to sabotage it the next time. Therefore, we must exterminate the rat before I bring out the substitute."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes, looking at the distant battle.

Information that only the emperors knew had been leaked; it was a complete mystery.

"Now that you mention it, it’s even stranger to me. Unless the enemy can divine the future, it’s not possible they would know this. Are you saying they have clairvoyant vision, to see into others’ thoughts?"

Zhao Jiaqi pouted.

It wasn’t just them; even the emperors must still have their doubts.

With the full moon approaching in just a few days,

the issue with the giant rat had become a mystery.

This was truly a thorn in everyone’s side.

"Reading the opponent’s mind..."

Lin Fan furrowed his brow, completely clueless at this point.

Fortunately, the battle on the other side had finally come to a thorough end.

Watching as the tiger’s head was chopped off, the monstrous creature’s gigantic body also rapidly withered away.

Eventually, it shrank to the size of a house cat.

"How are you doing?"

As soon as the battle ended, Zhao Xingzhi, the Dragon Emperor, was the first to rush back.

Looking at Lin Fan who was still lying there, he asked with concern.

"I won’t die, but I’ll probably have to lie down for a few days. How’s Xu Shiyong on that side?"

The explosion had blown the entire convoy away.

Trucks weighing dozens of tons had crushed a swath of trees, and now they were just wreckage.

As for the vehicles of the other team members, no one knew where they had flown off to.

"They’re probably all turned into meat sauce by now, but when I checked the scene just now, I didn’t see any of the Woguo marauders you two mentioned. I’m afraid that curse spell caster is still alive."

The Dragon Fang had already sent a clean-up squad to this location.

The power of the explosion was too fierce to quickly uncover all the traces.

"Didn’t you say before, curse spell casters always look down on Onmyojis? Why would they get involved this time?"

Lin Fan twisted his brows.

This was his first encounter with a Woguo curse spell caster, and he had to admit, the opponent’s strength far surpassed that of an Onmyoji.

They must also be above Ninth Grade.

"Who knows? There haven’t been any reports about it before. Maybe the Onmyoji specifically requested their help. After all, you’ve exhausted their strength several times, and all their skilled hands have been killed. Here, even an extraordinary shikigami like the scabby tiger has been summoned, so they must be at their wit’s end now," Zhao Xingzhi said, curling his lips.

The Onmyoji had shown their hand, yet Lin Fan had still survived.

It’s hard to deny that the kid was hard to kill.

"Scabby tiger, so this is the scabby tiger. I never would have thought, this thing is so hard to kill!"

At the mention of this name, Lin Fan’s heart skipped a beat.

This was the last poison that Qi Qi had been waiting for.

"This belongs to the extraordinary category, and it definitely can’t be summoned by just casting a spell. According to Dragon Fang’s understanding of Onmyojis, the cost of summoning such an extraordinary beast is quite substantial. Not only does it cause a strong backlash for the caster, but it also requires regular offerings of fresh blood. If that group knew that even this creature couldn’t kill you, they’d probably die of sheer frustration," Zhao Xingzhi said with a smug laugh.

This kid was a natural-born genius; even his luck was incredibly good.

Just then, the Divine Emperor and Dragon Emperor also came over.

"Kid, I just saved your life. Aren’t you going to say thanks?" Li Guandi said, arms folded, looking at Lin Fan with pride.

Lin Fan opened his mouth reluctantly, "Thanks!"

"Hey, is that ’thanks’ not a bit too perfunctory? Can’t you thank me sincerely?" Li Guandi gave him a displeased look and rolled his eyes.

Lin Fan pursed his lips, "How do you know I’m not sincerely thankful? Can you see what’s inside my heart?"

"I can’t see what you’re thinking, but I can read the expressions on your face, you kid..."

Li Guandi wanted to say more but was interrupted by Lin Fan.

"What did you just say?"

"I said I can’t see your thoughts, but I can tell just from your expressionless face that you’re not really thankful. What about it?"

Li Guandi’s words gave Lin Fan a sudden moment of enlightenment.

"I think I know who the giant rat is!"
