Chapter 958: Vile Canyon
Translator: Lordbluefire
Sun Mo’s expression turned ashen like there were dark clouds overhead. He stared at the desolate, empty campsite and for the first time, he felt the impulse to kill, no, to tear his enemies into countless parts.
“Sun Mo, don’t worry. Ziyu and the others will be..!”
Li Ruolan consoled but she stopped halfway because the aura radiating from Sun Mo was truly too frightening.
Even Xuanyuan Po who feared nothing in the world was obediently keeping his mouth shut and waiting for Sun Mo to speak.
“Pharaoh, go search for their tracks in the surroundings.”
Sun Mo instructed.
Because Li Ziqi’s motor nerves were bad, she hadn’t headed to the waterfall earlier. Ying Baiwu and Lu Zhiruo had also chosen to stay behind to cook meals in the campsite. As for Mei Ziyu, she had remained to take care of them.
Now that they were abducted, the Life-Death Flower also went missing.
Naturally, regardless of how valuable a top-level secret treasure was, it wouldn’t be more important than Mei Ziyu and his three students.
“Master, I’m not a dog!”
The Holy Pharaoh was speechless.
“Go quickly!” Sun Mo roared.
The scarab had no solutions and could only brace itself to do it.
Sigh!
(I, the godly divine protector of Egypt, am now being used either as a hunting dog or a meat shield. My days are really too miserable, right?)
“Calm down, I must absolutely not panic at such a moment!”
Sun Mo continued to take deep breaths and force himself to enter a state of contemplation, thinking of various plans. However, Lian Fangcao spoke at this moment.
“Sun Mo!”
After the green-skinned female inspected the campsite, she felt somewhat embarrassed.
When Murong Mingyue saw this scene, a thought flashed through her mind. “Are your tribesmen the ones who captured Ziyu and the others?”
Swish~
Sun Mo immediately looked over.
“From the combat traces and footprints on the ground, the abductors are my tribesmen. However, you cannot blame them. Who told you guys to invade our home?”
The green-skinned female only felt good will for Sun Mo. When she spoke with others, her attitude immediately became unfriendly.
“Fangcao, could I trouble you to appear and convince them to release my students? I guarantee that I will immediately leave this forest.”
As he spoke, he directly took his bag and tossed it over. “This is for you guys!”
Hu~
Qin Yaoguang involuntarily whistled.
(Isn’t Teacher too nice?)
The hearts of the other students also moved. Being able to encounter such a great personal teacher...this lifetime of theirs, was worth it.
Bai Xiqing’s lips twitched.
“Sun Mo, are you insulting me?”
Lian Fangcao grew angry. Her expression turned heavy and she tossed the bag back. “I treat you as my friend, and it’s only natural that I ought to rescue your disciples.”
“Stu…”
Just when Tantai Yutang wanted to mumble something, Jiang Leng grabbed his arm.
“Don’t make things more chaotic.”
Jiang Leng glared at the sickly invalid.
Tantai Yutang shrugged. If all of these green-skinned aboriginals were so kind, the date of their tribe’s extinction probably wouldn’t be far.
“Alright. After this matter is over, I will give you a huge present.”
Sun Mo also wasn’t going to stand on ceremony.
If Lian Fangcao could help, he would replicate the map of the greenhaze forest and gift it to her.
“I can roughly guess where they are now. I will bring you over there immediately!”
Lian Fangcao glanced at Xianyu Wei and the others. “For the sake of their safety, they better remain here.”
“I’ll go with you!”
Murong Mingyue volunteered.
“I will go too!”
Li Ruolan naturally didn’t wish to miss out on any fierce battles by Sun Mo.
“And me!”
Bai Xiqing raised her hand.
“No, you guys, please help me to take care of my students.”
Sun Mo rejected.
“Teacher, we are not children anymore and know the importance of things. You guys should go on ahead and not be worried about us.”
Jiang Leng guaranteed. “I will watch over them. So please let Teacher Murong go with you!”
“Right, Teacher Murong is very impressive.”
Xianyu Wei did her best to persuade.
“Okay. Jiang Leng, Helian, I will have to trouble you guys.”
Sun Mo squeezed out a smile. After that, he solemnly spoke to Xuanyuan Po and Tantai Yutang, “Don’t run around recklessly. Otherwise, I will expel you all from my tutelage.”
This time around, it was not a discussion. Even if Xuanyuan Po was an absolute monstrous genius, Sun Mo wouldn’t want him as a personal student if he couldn’t be obedient.
“Roger!”
The combat addict and sickly invalid could sense Sun Mo’s determination and hurriedly lowered their heads.
He was such a good teacher. If they missed out on being in his tutelage, that would surely be the greatest regret in their life. Moreover, Sun Mo was forbidding them to do anything reckless for their own good.
“Since you’ve finished your arrangements, let us set off.”
Lian Fangcao urged. She was worried that if she went back late, her tribesmen might turn those girls into fertilizer.
“Let’s go!”
Sun Mo took out the map and prepared to verify the route.
The green-skinned female led the way. She leaped onto a tree branch that was tens of meters in the air. Her speed was very quick, and she even resembled Tarzan, moving agilely via grabbing vines.
This speed was not a problem for Sun Mo and Murong Mingyue. Bai Xiqing also managed to follow closely. However, Li Ruolan was lagging behind.
“W...wait for me!”
The beautiful reporter was so tired that she was panting. Sadly, her shouts were useless.
Sun Mo didn’t even turn his head back.
Ahh!
Li Ruolan immediately transformed into a dramatic person and started crying, pretending to slip from the tree branch.
Putong!
Li Ruolan fell into a pile of tree leaves and just when she was hesitating whether she should pretend to faint or scream miserably, she saw Sun Mo speeding up and vanishing into the thick forest.
(Damn! Are you still a man? A beauty like me is injured, but you won’t even show a little concern?)
All of a sudden, Li Ruolan, who had many pursuers, started to doubt her own charm.
Damn! Damn!
Li Ruolan forcefully punched the ground a few times before she stood up and did her best to follow them.
(Sigh! I’m also really cheap and lowly! But there’s no solution, I really can’t endure it anymore.)
Right now, she was fully filled with probing curiosity toward Sun Mo. This was especially so in times of dangers like this. It was the best situation to determine one’s character and capabilities.
As Sun Mo followed Lian Fangcao, he took out a map to search for clear reference points to determine their location.
“Teacher Sun, why do you have such a map?”
Bai Xiqing was puzzled.
Logically speaking, this was a virgin land that all of them entered for the first time. There shouldn’t be any maps about this place.
“I picked it up from somewhere!”
Sun Mo casually gave an excuse.
“Oh!”
Bai Xiqing was naturally so curious that she wanted to die, but she didn’t move beside Sun Mo to look at the map. From this point alone, it could be seen that she was filled with integrity.
The material of this map was from beast leather. Because it was made using a special tanning method, it didn’t fear being washed, soaked, or even burned.
The length of the map was about a meter and its width was about 0.5 meters. There were all sorts of detailed information written on it.
For example, the various safety routes, the distribution of monsters, the terrain, the areas where resources such as water could be found…
Naturally, the most important things were the seven treasure chests. They were all located in different areas.
These treasure chests represented the treasures of this land. There were different colors: 1 diamond, 1 golden, 3 bronze, and 2 black-iron.
This represented the value of the treasures.
The Life-Death Flower Sea was precisely the location of a treasure chest. It was the lowest graded black-iron treasure. And as for the Rebirth Waterfall, the treasure chest demarking it as the bronze treasure region.
Right now, on the path they took, there was a dangerous region named the Vile Canyon. There was a golden treasure chest on the map demarking this area.
“Fangcao, are we going to your tribe?”
Sun Mop furrowed his brows.
“No, we are heading to the place where we imprison captives.”
Lian Fangcao explained. “We call that place the Vile Canyon.”
In the Greenhaze Tribe, there were plenty of elderly and kids, and so they must never allow outsiders to learn the location of their village. Since that was the case, these adult warriors would station themselves at the Vile Canyon, setting up a camp there for battle.
Sun Mo’s brows twitched when he heard this name.
“System, where did you get this map from?”
Sun Mo felt that the map might even contain information that the green-skinned female had no idea about.
“Sorry, no comment.”
The system’s reply was so emotionless.
“Are you a piece of software created by aliens?”
Sun Mo guessed.
However, this software was very high-end, and it wasn’t installed on a computer but in a human’s body.
Bluntly speaking, this was a system that aided the host.
“Host, the hole in your brain is really big!”
The system replied in contempt, “I think you need to eat your medicine.”
“Scram!”
Sun Mo knew that the system was mocking him, treating him like a nutjob.
“Don’t guess anymore. After you become a Saint, you will naturally know my origins.”
After the system spoke, it completely fell silent.
With an aboriginal like the green-skinned female leading the way, the journey was extraordinarily smooth. In fact, Sun Mo wasn’t even bitten by any mosquitos. An hour later, they arrived at the Vile Canyon.
The place that appeared before Sun Mo was no longer a primeval forest. It had transformed into an endless stretch of ‘vegetable field’.
Over here, plants were everywhere and they were all tall and large. They were at least ten to twenty meters tall, like magnified peas.
However, the appearances of these peas were somewhat malevolent.
The edges of their leaves were sharp and moved along with the wind. The most terrifying thing was that they had a ‘pod’, and the pod looked like their head. They had no eyes or ears, only a large mouth fully filled with sharp teeth.
Pada! Pada!
Green juice flowed from the mouths.
“Man-eating flowers?”
Li Ruolan was so tired that she felt like dying. But when she saw this stretch of ‘man-eating flowers’, she immediately grew energized and started recording them.
“You guys should wait here. I will go search for them.”
Lian Fangcao added, “Don’t run around recklessly or you might be eaten.”
“Can’t we go together?”
Sun Mo didn’t wish to wait.
“This…”
Lian Fangcao hesitated but decided to tell him the truth. “In our tribe, some people view invaders like you with extreme hostility. I’m worried that they might do something bad toward you.”
“I can protect myself.”
Sun Mo eventually still decided to follow. If Lian Fangcao couldn’t come to an agreement with her tribesmen, he would wait for a chance to rescue them.
“Alright then!”
Lian Fangcao agreed. She felt she could handle this. Hence, she took out a bamboo tube and sprinkled some powder on Sun Mo and the others.
“What is this?”
Li Ruolan sniffed. There was only a faint fishy smell.
“Flower-repellent powder. You will be eaten if you step into the flower field without sprinkling this on.”
After Lian Caofang finished speaking, she entered the flower field. “You guys must follow me closely.”
This time around, everyone used the leaves as footholds and proceeded forward. They felt like they had become ants.
All of a sudden...
A gigantic shadow loomed over Li Ruolan. She subconsciously wanted to attack but was stopped by Lian Fangcao who had a fast reaction.
“Shh.”
The green-skinned female exerted force, pulling Li Ruolan behind some foliage.
The reactions of Sun Mo and Bai Xiqing were very quick, and they had already hidden themselves.
Bzz!
A dragonfly that was larger than a bomber just flew past their heads.
