Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 267 The Twin Flower Concubines, Arrogant as Queens, and Cola's Heroic Demeanor

As the shockwave dissipated, the evening breeze swept through every corner, causing the leaves to sway and rustle.

Shadow Owl stood on a swaying branch, his scarlet eyes gazing silently below. Suddenly, he spread his black wings and flew silently into the air, looking down at everyone from a wider perspective.

The Azure Hound suddenly raised its head, its sharp, hawk-like eyes seemingly able to pierce through the thick, dark night, locking onto the Shadow Owl soaring upwards. Instead of letting out a wary growl, it used its wagging tail to issue a warning.

The lark perched on its back suddenly spread its wings and took flight, using the cover of night to conceal itself before slipping into the dense foliage, its dark eyes locking onto the shadowy owl in mid-air.

"Another poison spore landmine."

The surprise brought by the twin concubines was fleeting. Li Junyue looked down at the small crater formed by the explosion of the purple mushroom and said in a deep tone, "These guys really like to use poison."

"Yingying~"

The Twin Flower Concubine's expression was not as cold as usual. Instead, she raised her purple eyes and looked with interest at the front shrouded in night.

It seemed to be expecting something.

Chen Yuan had also heard of the infamous [Poison Spore Mine] and knew how insidious and disgusting this move was.

Once the spores are planted, their effects can last for hours, or even a day or two.

Most importantly, this thing is invisible; unless you step on it, it's very difficult to spot in the dense jungle.

The Twin Flower Concubine had once found great enjoyment in this skill, but the fact that only fungus-type pets could master it greatly disappointed her.

The place with the most fungal pets is Yunnan Province. Beastmasters living here inevitably deal with [Poison Spore Landmines] and must have rich experience in dealing with them.

Chen Yuan then looked at Li Junyue and asked, "How do you handle this situation?"

Upon hearing this question, Li Junyue's eyes flickered, and he replied in a deep voice, "As long as poison-type pets are patient, they can discover poison spores."

"Mushroom!"

The Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit frantically shook its pale blue fungal cap, its tiny, bead-sized eyes gleaming as if showing off its ability to do so.

"The Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit is Xiaolin's pet beast and our guarantee when carrying out missions in the wild." Considering the urgency of the situation, Li Junyue explained the role of the Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit to Chen Yuan and the other two in a very fast voice.

"Ahem." Kobayashi puffed out his chest, a reserved yet proud smile on his face, and coughed as if by accident, attracting the attention of the three.

"The Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit can absorb poisonous mist and transform it into healing mist, and it can also help detect traps such as poison spore mines."

"But it will take some time."

After a brief pause, Li Junyue stretched out his right hand forward, and the Ink Tree Spirit slowly stepped forward with its massive body: "In the face of similar emergencies, the Ink Tree Spirit is responsible for clearing the way and moving forward directly. Even if you step on a poison spore mine, it doesn't matter. The Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit can follow along and absorb the poison mist in time."

Chen Yuan was speechless for a moment.

Such a simple and straightforward solution.

Let the tough Ink Tree Spirit clear the way. It doesn't matter if it gets hit by the explosion, as long as the poisonous fog doesn't spread.

At this point, Li Junyue couldn't help but sigh, "If only there were pets that could easily detect poison spore mines."

Chen Yuan glanced at the twin concubines and asked, "Can you do it?"

The Twin Flower Concubine always practices poison skills quietly at home, and its proficiency has been soaring. Its mastery of poison skills surpasses that of most poison-type pets.

"Yinyin".

The twin flower concubine's eyes flashed. She stood up from Chen Yuan's shoulder, ignoring her long, flowing dress, and swept her domineering gaze in all directions like a queen, her invisible aura suddenly spreading.

Then,

It turned to the side and pointed to a spot on the ground. Chen Yuan immediately understood and called out to Cola, "Cola, go try it."

"Ow!"

Cola responded, but then heard its owner's voice: "Be careful."

Cola looked in the direction the twin flower concubines were pointing, its light brown fur suddenly flew up, and its majestic body suddenly darted out.

It ran across the ground, its limbs almost blurring into afterimages, pausing only for a fleeting moment on each spot.

next moment,
The incredibly fast-moving Coke barely felt anything beneath his feet, but a purple mushroom appeared behind him and exploded violently with a "boom".

An explosion rang out behind him, followed by the spread of a pale purple mist, but Cola was already far away from the scene.

"Yinyin".

The Twin Flower Concubine's eyes flashed, and with a wave of her petal-shaped hands, the pale purple mist vanished without a trace.

"mushroom"

This left the Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit, who was preparing to feast, feeling dejected and crestfallen.

Meeting the surprised and suspicious gazes of the crowd, Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "It seems we have a way to break this mushroom formation."

"Ouch!"

"Yinyin".

The Twin Flower Concubine first searched for the Poison Spore Mine, while Cola rushed over and stomped on the mushrooms, the spreading poisonous mist being absorbed by the impatient Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit.

"Captain Li, a Shadow Owl is following us."

Suddenly, one of the team members came to Li Junyue's side, his voice very low.

"Hmm." Li Junyue nodded almost imperceptibly in response, and then instructed everyone to make full preparations for the battle.

The enemy is in the shadows, while they are in the open. However, the Criminal Investigation Department has always held an absolute advantage over the Rising Stars Society. As long as they are careful, cautious, and act prudently, their well-equipped team can completely overwhelm the opponent.

The other side has Shadow Owls secretly keeping watch, and they also have Azure Hounds and Flowing Cloud Sparrows tracking and lurking.

The opposing side has pets that emit poisonous mist, but they also have a countermeasure: the Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit.

As long as we proceed steadily and respond to each move as it comes, and avoid being as reckless as the fourth group, we'll be fine.

at this time,

"Chirp."

The spark perched on Chen Yuan's shoulder suddenly emitted a clear hiss and gently flapped its wings, issuing a warning.

Chen Yuan spoke up: "There's an ambush."

His voice reached Li Junyue's ears, and the latter stopped and suddenly raised his right hand.

In an instant, all the team members stopped in their tracks, and the pets scattered, their wary eyes scanning the surroundings as they formed a defensive formation.

"Meow~"

With a leap, the Ice Crystal Cat landed lightly on the ground, its two-colored eyes fixed on the front, and an invisible spiritual force spread outwards.

"Woo~"

Although the Water Spirit Turtle felt a pang of sadness, it bravely stood in front of Chang Yuhuan, brewing a jet of water in its mouth, ready to spew it out at any moment.

Everyone and their pets are ready to fight.

But after a long time, no enemy came. The trees on all sides remained silent in the night, their swaying branches embracing the evening breeze.

Li Junyue frowned, suddenly recalling the fourth group's experience. A flash of inspiration struck him, and he shouted sharply, "Watch out for Sweet Fragrance!"

The moment the words fell,

Chen Yuan could already smell the sweet scent lurking in the air, and he felt as if he had fallen into a honey pot, his mind suddenly relaxing.

Looking up, they saw that the pink poisonous fog had unknowingly spread towards them, and a sweet smell lingered in their nostrils.

A fledgling owl, perched on a branch and dozing, was completely unaware of the sweet fragrance approaching. Unbeknownst to it, it was enveloped in the fragrance, and an overwhelming sense of dizziness overwhelmed its mind. Its body swayed, and it fell headfirst to the ground.

"It really is sweet and fragrant." Seeing this, Li Junyue was not surprised at all.

These guys had acted strangely several times, so he was on guard.

"I come!"

As the sweet fragrance wafted over, everyone retreated, except for Kobayashi, who strode forward with the Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit. The former's face revealed a strong desire for a promotion and a raise, while the latter's eyes shone with an eager anticipation for a delicious feast.

"Yinyin".

But the twin concubines stepped forward first.

Of all the poison-type moves it currently knows, Sweet Fragrance is the most proficient. With a gentle wave of its hand, it can easily release a poisonous mist that instantly puts everyone and their pets to sleep.

The sweet fragrance before it was not to its liking.

Firstly, the poisonous fog spreads very slowly, so if the enemy insists on fleeing, they are unlikely to be caught.

Secondly, the color of the poisonous fog is not pure. Although it is a deep pink, it looks like multiple pets using this skill at the same time, forcibly piecing together multiple streams of poisonous fog.

Thirdly, although the poisonous fog spread from four directions simultaneously, its concealment effect was not ideal, and it was discovered so quickly.

"Yinyin".

The twin concubines shook their heads slightly, their cold gaze revealing their dissatisfaction with the sweet fragrance.

These pets should all be captured, locked in a dark room, and forced to practice this skill!
Thoughts flashed through her mind, and the twin flower concubines looked up at the sweet fragrance spreading from all directions. Suddenly, they waved their hands, and their light pink hair swayed in the wind.

The deep purple dress rippled with even deeper purple light, and the sweet fragrance that wafted over seemed to be guided, changing direction and rushing towards the twin flower concubines.

An overwhelming sweet fragrance seemed to transform into wisps of smoke, continuously seeping into the purple dress of the twin flower concubines.

Each time a wisp of light was absorbed, a faint ripple would appear on the purple dress, making the purple light spots even more dazzling.

The astonished and bewildered crowd stared blankly at the scene.

Chen Yuan explained, "As I said before, this kid has a little bit of knowledge about poison."

The twin flower concubines can emit a sweet fragrance, and naturally they can also control its flow and diffusion, and even re-absorb it into their bodies.

Chen Yuan hadn't expected that it could absorb the sweet fragrance emitted by other pets. Wasn't that a bit unreasonable?

But since twin flower concubines are incredible beings born from flowers, it seems quite reasonable for them to possess such a small skill.

The astonishingly sweet fragrance was absorbed by the twin flower concubines at an alarming speed, while the honey mist umbrella spirit beside them was doing the same thing. Its pale blue fungal cap spun rapidly, absorbing the poisonous mist from all around, and it couldn't help but smile with delight.

The toxic fog is its nourishment, continuously promoting its growth.

not enough!

not enough!
The Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit needs more poisonous mist, but the fungal umbrella's rotation speed is getting slower and slower, and it can no longer sense the presence of the poisonous mist.

"mushroom?"

The Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit opened its eyes, looked up, and realized that the poisonous mist around it had disappeared.

But when it looked up, it saw that the sweet fragrance that had enveloped everything had been absorbed by the twin flower concubines. Its eyes widened and it took short steps to rush over: "Mushroom!"

Kobayashi stopped it in time and reassured it, "It's all for the mission, don't fight over it."

"mushroom"

The Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit stopped in its tracks, and could only watch helplessly as the Twin Flower Concubine rapidly absorbed the poisonous mist, its pale blue fungal cap drooping listlessly.

Compared to the dejected Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit, Kobayashi was completely certain of his guess.

The Twin Flower Concubine is clearly not a poison-type pet, yet it just displayed a profound mastery of poison, absorbing poison mist even faster than the Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit, which is its specialty. Therefore, there is only one possibility—this Twin Flower Concubine is at the third tier!

The young man who owns a third-tier pet beast is someone who will eat anything the prosecutor tells him to eat.

"The enemy has appeared."

Just then, Li Junyue's voice forcefully pulled Xiaolin back to his senses. He looked up and saw a series of swift figures attacking from all directions at the same time, accompanied by gusts of wind and waves of energy.

"still have a chance!"

Although she didn't get to show her full strength just now, the Mist Umbrella Spirit's combat power is not bad. If she can perform well, there is still a possibility that she can make the three prosecutors take notice of her.

In a flash of thought, Kobayashi telepathically said, "Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit, prepare for battle!"

at the same time,

The group, who were well prepared, remained calm and maintained their defensive formation under Li Junyue's command, while directing their pets to cooperate and launch a counterattack.

Chen Yuan first glanced at the Twin Flower Concubine, who had absorbed all the poisonous mist. Her purple dress was much deeper than before, exuding an alluring beauty.

Chen Yuan couldn't help but sigh, "If this child develops a poison attribute after evolving, how desperate will his opponents be?"

The headlamps of the group dispelled the darkness, leaving all the attacking beasts nowhere to hide.

At first glance, these pets are of various kinds, including the Black-striped Spider, Fire-striped Snake, and Black Flame Dog that Chen Yuan had seen before, as well as fungi with strong local characteristics of Yunnan Province, such as the Explosive Corrosion Mushroom and the Ape-eyed Nightmare Mushroom.

Both of these fungal pets are poison-type, and most of their skills are insidious and disgusting. The previous Poison Spore Mine and Sweet Fragrance were most likely their handiwork.

Behind these pets, several figures could be vaguely seen, dressed in black robes, hidden in deeper shadows, so that they could not be clearly seen.

Li Junyue's expression remained unchanged. While directing the Ink Tree Spirit to step forward, he uttered four words: "Playing tricks." The voice rang in Jiang Xun's ears, but he did not react at all. However, his brows, hidden beneath his black robe, furrowed slightly.

Sweet fragrances don't work?
Are the ninth group's detoxification methods really that powerful?
"But that's normal," he thought to himself.

He understood better than the ordinary members how troublesome and terrifying the Investigation Department was, so he was always cautious.

Underhanded tactics and schemes might get the Criminal Investigation Department caught once, but they absolutely cannot be used a second time.

Just as they used the sweet aroma to set a trap in the warehouse for the fourth group, the ninth group, having seen such a trap before, would definitely not fall for it.

Jiang Xun's plan to deal with the Ninth Group was not complicated.

Poison spore mines and sweet aromas act as traps to slow their advance; if they are effective, great, but if the effect is weak, that's normal.

The key is the surprise attack following the sweet fragrance.

At that time, they will be overwhelmed by the sweet fragrance and the sudden attack, making them easy targets.

If the surprise attack succeeds, Jiang Xun, who has no desire to fight, will decisively retreat and head to ambush point number three.

All of this was simply to attract the attention of Group Nine.

If the sweet aroma is cracked too quickly, the pressure on their surprise attack will increase accordingly.

The sounds of fierce fighting rose and fell around him. Jiang Xun gathered his thoughts and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and retreat in one minute."

The Ink Tree Spirit stood firmly at the very center of the fierce battle, single-handedly withstanding the attacks of several pet beasts. It wildly swung its branches, which resembled two arms, and with a powerful, heavy blow, it slammed a black-striped spider into the ground.

Bang bang bang!
A deafening crash resounded as the black-striped spider's body was nearly flattened, emitting a feeble, mournful cry.

"Ow!"

Seizing the opportunity, the Black Flame Hound leaped into the air, its eyes flashing with ferocity, its mouth churning with starlight, and its fiery fangs aimed straight at the left branch of the Ink Tree Spirit, biting straight down!

The Ink Tree Spirit ignored the attack, letting the Black Flame Hound bite its left arm and the flames spread, scorching its body. It continued to smash the Black-Patterned Spider with its right arm until the latter was completely unconscious before it stopped.

Then, the Ink Tree Spirit let the Black-Striped Spider lie in the deep pit, and several thick tentacles suddenly shot out from the ground beneath it, tightly binding the Black Flame Hound and tightening their grip forcefully.

"Ow!"

The Black Flame Dog stopped what it was doing, the pain spreading throughout its body forcing it to raise its head high and let out a shrill howl.

Once the Black Flame Hound released its fangs, the Ink Tree Spirit raised its arms high once more, and the thick branches slammed down like heavy hammers!

boom!
The mournful howls of the Black Flame Hound echoed in Chen Yuan's ears as he silently observed the Ink Tree Spirit, who resembled a berserker.

Xia Heng's Ink Tree Spirit is adept at using various skills to bind opponents, using its rock-solid stance to deplete their strength, and thus achieve victory.

Li Junyue's approach to cultivation was different. He treated the Ink Tree Spirit as a close-combat warrior, abandoning fancy attacks and making its indestructible body the most powerful means of attack.

Moreover, the Ink Tree Spirit's strength has broken through to the third rank.

Half a month has passed since the Great Wind Cup, and during this time, high-level beast tamers have appeared one after another.

The outstanding students from various beast-taming academies, the advisors of the Beast Tamer Association, and the captains of the Investigation Department have all become high-level beast tamers.

Although Li Junyue's progress was slower than Chen Yuan and Jiang Wenning's, he enjoyed many benefits after joining the Criminal Investigation Department. In addition, he trained hard and managed to catch up with the first-tier beast tamers.

The other members of Group Nine are also quite strong.

The Azure Hound and the Flowing Cloud Sparrow worked together seamlessly, holding their own against several opponents.

The Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit faced off against the Explosive Mushroom. Able to absorb poisonous mist, it was completely unafraid of its opponent, rampaging through the enemy and gaining the upper hand.

In terms of individual combat strength, members of the New Star Society are definitely no match for members of the Criminal Investigation Department.

Fortunately, the Rising Stars Club had more members, and their numerical advantage allowed them to barely maintain the situation and prevent it from collapsing.

But as time goes by, these guys are bound to lose.

Seeing the intense battle, Chen Yuan and his two companions suddenly felt they had nothing to do.

“Ahhh.”

Cola watched the fierce battle with bated breath, dejected.

All its rivals had been taken away, and it couldn't bring itself to steal theirs, so it could only watch helplessly.

But the situation on the field suddenly changed in the next moment.

However, these pets left the battleground and retreated to the rear in unison.

The members of the New Star Society, dressed in black robes, turned around without hesitation, their figures instantly swallowed by the dark night.

Li Junyue roared, "Chase them!"

They were unfamiliar with the local environment, and it was late at night. If these guys scattered, the difficulty of their search would increase dramatically.

"Ow!"

The Qinglan hunting hound, responsible for tracking, howled and flicked its tail, locking onto multiple scents circulating in the air before charging forward.

The lark soared high into the sky, using its excellent night vision to track these creatures and find the way for the fourth team.

"Cola, you go."

Chen Yuan, however, felt that it was unnecessary to go to such trouble.

Chen Yuan's voice rang in Cola's mind, and it instantly perked up, a gentle breeze swirling around it. It activated Windwalk and charged forward at a speed that was beyond the reach of the eye, closing in on the still-undispersed members of the New Star Society in the blink of an eye.

"Ow!"

A sharp bark came from behind. A member of the Rising Stars Club instinctively turned around and was mercilessly tackled to the ground the moment he met a pair of bright blue eyes.

But no one stopped to save him; everyone ran even faster.

Cola's pursuit speed far exceeded Jiang Xun's expectations, but he reacted quickly and shouted, "Cover up the rear!"

The moment the voice rang out, the Explosive Mushroom and the Scarlet Nightmare Mushroom stopped under the command of their respective Beastmasters. Their caps shook violently, and their two scarlet eyes flashed with a dangerous light, suddenly releasing a sweet fragrance.

The pink mist spread rapidly, attempting to slow down Cola and the other pets' pursuit.

"I come!"

Seeing the sweet fragrance reappear, Xiaolin first glanced at the motionless twin flower concubines, then quickly stepped forward with the Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit.

The twin flower concubines were clearly full, and it was finally his and the honey mist umbrella spirit's turn to shine.

But the next second, a strong wind suddenly arose.

This fierce wind came from nowhere and suddenly swept in all directions, causing the surrounding trees to shake violently, withered branches and fallen leaves to fly wildly, and everyone's clothes to flutter.

The fierce wind easily dispersed the pervasive light pink poisonous fog, while simultaneously pressing in from all directions towards the very center, trapping all the fleeing members of the Rising Star Society in place.

Despite their struggles, the howling wind tore them off to the side, leaving them completely immobile.

"A Tier 3 Wind-Gathering Hound!"

Jiang Xun gave up struggling, his eyes suddenly flashing with a sharp light as he stared intently at the Wind-Gathering Hound closest to them.

Cola controlled a whirlwind, binding everyone and their pets to the spot. It raised its head and slowly strode forward, letting out a soft "Awooo~"

Having considered the feelings of the twin flower concubines, it did not directly stir up a whirlwind to disperse their sweet fragrance.

Now it's different. These guys actually dared to turn around and run away right in front of it. Doesn't that mean they don't take it seriously?
The bright moonlight poured down, sprinkling onto Cola, illuminating its wild, flowing light brown fur and azure eyes, as the majestic Cola marched straight ahead.

Its steps were slow but firm, and the breeze that rippled around it swept out, instantly turning into a whirlwind that bound all people and their pets.

At this moment, it is a raging wind.

Cola didn't need to turn around to imagine the shocked looks everyone was giving him, and his mouth gradually opened wider uncontrollably.

Another Tier 3 pet!
Despite the sweet aroma of cola being consumed first, Kobayashi's eyes burned with intense desire.

With a Tier 3 Twin Flower Concubine and a Tier 3 Wind-Gathering Hound, this prosecutor's strength is unbelievable!

If I could get on the good side of this guy, I'd be willing to get a promotion and a raise!
"Boss, what do we do now?"

Bound by the raging wind, the viper's voice was broken and intermittent; it took all its strength to utter a complete sentence.

The situation seems to be different from what the boss expected.

The other party was completely unaffected by the sweet fragrance; instead, a Tier 3 Wind Hound appeared, hindering their escape plan.

Jiang Xun, his entire body shrouded in a black robe, had a solemn expression, but he tried his best to remain calm.

The only solution now is to find a way to escape this storm and then abandon some of the pets.

These pets can definitely delay the enemy's pursuit if they launch a suicide attack.

If they can escape this place successfully, they have plenty of ways to make a comeback.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Xun no longer hesitated. His gaze sharpened, and a summoning array instantly appeared in front of him, causing a massive figure to appear rapidly.

This was actually an even larger, more monstrous mushroom.

The dark purple caps looked incredibly alluring in the night, with scarlet, tumor-like protrusions covering the cap, and short, thick stems like landmines, from which a network of black mycelium extended.

"mushroom!"

As soon as the Exploding Mushroom appeared, it emitted a thick poisonous mist and spewed out dark purple spores from its mouth. Suddenly breaking free from the shackles of the gale, it rushed towards Cola one after another.

Fortunately, Cola reacted quickly, dodging left and right, and thus avoided being hit.

But Cola's actions quickly dissipated the fierce wind, and Jiang Xun didn't hesitate: "Retreat!"

He knew full well that staying would only lead to certain death, and that having the worthless pet help cover their retreat was the only sensible thing to do.

In any case, when a pet dies, the beast tamer's condition will only be depressed for a while.

"Chase!" Li Junyue's voice rang out almost simultaneously.

With one side retreating and the other pursuing, a fierce chase is about to unfold between the two sides.

Cola was delayed by the Exploding Mushroom, and several pets stayed behind to cover their retreat, determined to die to stop them, making the scene extremely chaotic.

Chen Yuan decided to end this chaos.

He was invited and had done his best to ensure that the Ninth Group got as much credit as possible, so that he wouldn't steal it all from them.

But Chen Yuan wasn't going to just stand by and watch these guys escape.

"Go ahead." Chen Yuan glanced at the sparks on his shoulder and spoke softly.

"Chirp~"

Spark nodded slightly, then raised its tiny head, gazed at the night sky, and suddenly spread its wings and soared into the air.

Golden flames began to surge from its body, and its size rapidly increased during flight. Its long, seven-colored tail feathers trailed brilliant trails of light, and the golden flames suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, like a golden sun piercing through the dark sky, illuminating the entire scene.

"Is it dawn?" Xiaolin murmured, looking up at the sky against the light, the blinding light making him squint involuntarily.

A pet beast I'd never seen before appeared before me.

"Ouch!"

Cola caught a glimpse of the boss's figure out of the corner of its eye. Caught in the midst of the fierce battle, it was extremely anxious. Then, a gust of wind surged in and swept towards the Explosive Mushroom on the opposite side.

You wretched giant mushroom, it's all your fault!

"Chirp!"

Spark flapped its broad wings, and its exquisite body surged with flames, instantly flying above Jiang Xun and the others. The dazzling light dispelled the darkness, leaving them nowhere to hide.

There's nowhere left to run.

"This"

The dazzling light seemed to pierce through the black robe. Jiang Xun felt extremely blinded and reached out to shield his eyes from the blinding light, but his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Turning his head, he saw that Viper and the others were so overwhelmed by the terrifying pressure that they fell to their knees with a thud.

Jiang Xun: "."

He still harbored a rebellious spirit and attempted to summon a second pet to fight back, sacrificing its life to buy himself a moment to escape.

But a thought crept into his mind: if he really did that, this incredibly powerful pet would definitely end his life in an instant.

The next moment, Jiang Xun knelt down with a thud and raised his hands.

Viper glanced at his kneeling leader out of the corner of his eye, then raised his hands even higher.

For a moment, the scene was deathly silent.
