Chapter 918: Chapter 918: Dare to Say it Again_1

The next moment, all the fierce cranes were staring at their group with their eyes glowing green.

"Jiang Zuo and Jiang Li take the front, Zhe Jue and Zhen Wu cover the rear, go!"

Ya Molian immediately made a decision, grabbed Lin Caisang by the waist, and flew toward the back. Commander Mo, seeing this, quickly followed suit.

Seeing them run away right under their noses, the fierce cranes, not having had a big meal yet, also quickly pursued, not wanting their prey to escape.

Zhe Jue and Zhen Wu, covering the rear with a few others, were running while slashing at them with swords, but found it completely useless because the fierce cranes had hard spikes protecting them, and no matter how they chopped, they couldn’t reach the flesh.

"Sir, this won’t work, these things are too terrifying," Zhen Wu shouted.

"Never mind them, move it! There’s a cave ahead. Let’s take shelter there!" Lin Caisang said while struggling in Ya Molian’s arms, pulling out a packet of medicinal powder from her small shoulder bag and scattering it into the air behind them.

Seconds later, the movement of the fierce cranes chasing them slowed, finally giving them a chance to catch their breath.

...

Half an hour later, in a gourd-shaped cave, everyone huddled together in two groups, looking at the torches used for illumination. In Lin Caisang’s arms was a White Fox.

"What do we do now?"

Listening to the ghostly howls of the fierce cranes outside, Commander Mo’s scalp tingled as he asked.

"This cave is shaped like a gourd; the entrance is small, and the fierce cranes can’t get in. Everyone can rest here for a while and regain their energy before we talk," Lin Caisang said.

"Even if we regain our strength, those monsters are still outside. We have to think of a way to deal with them," Commander Mo said, looking at Lin Caisang with a look that said you’d better think of something fast.

Lin Caisang glanced up, sweeping a cool gaze over him.

"Has Commander Mo thought of a good plan? If so, you can go and deal with the fierce cranes outside. I have no objections," she said, shrugging her shoulders.

"I..."

Commander Mo opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.

After a long pause, he finally spoke.

"My lady, don’t you have any ideas? The emperor sent you to White Blind Mountain to help us; you can’t just do nothing and lead us in retreat, right?" he asked.

"What did you say?"

Lin Caisang’s lips curved slightly, and the light in her eyes changed gradually.

"I didn’t quite catch that. Commander Mo, dare you say that again? Who sent me to White Blind Mountain? I wasn’t aware anyone had the audacity to give orders to me!"

"Uh."

Commander Mo choked on her words.

He thought to himself, Aren’t you just taking advantage of the emperor’s favor, sent by the emperor to White Blind Mountain on a death mission? What’s the use of denying it now?

But he didn’t have the guts to say it out loud.

"My lady, please don’t be angry; I’m just getting anxious. After all, I’ve just lost quite a few men under my command."

Just then outside, those who were too slow to run had all become food in the stomachs of those monsters, and now the number of people around him was less than half of the original.

"Lack of ability and yet showing off; if you’re dead, who can you blame?" Lin Caisang gave him an unkind look and said bluntly.

She nearly added that these men, following Commander Mo who lacked a brain, deserved to die—it wouldn’t make any difference, as no one would feel sorry or sympathetic for them.
