bai wushang didn’t have time to think for too long.

ten seconds later, his expression changed.

the other party’s normal conversation suddenly stopped.

then, some wild beasts began to run and roar, causing the ground to shake slightly.

some birds flapped their wings and shrieked;

more importantly, these sounds came from far away and seemed to be coming in bai wushang’s direction!

“we’ve been discovered? there’s a special alert system?”

bai wushang took a few steps back and was about to summon xiao ci to leave.

however, in the next moment, he stopped thinking and frowned as he looked behind him.

in the half-light, they saw the tunnel they had come from, the ground forty meters away, suddenly burst open.

two petite monsters broke out of the ground, staring at bai wushang with sinister eyes.

“roat …… beast-eared fox …..”

needless to say, they were all experts at digging holes and were standard underground creatures.

however, they were not wild. they were pets.

“roar!”

a fist monkey, a swift-toothed winged bird, and a human-headed spider.

one after another, they came out of the ten-meter-wide tunnel.

together with the roosters and the beast-eared fox, they formed a circle on the left and right, trapping bai wushang in the middle.

bai wushang’s heart skipped a beat. these pets … they were so powerful!

he scanned them with his eyes of cognition. any one of them was at the peak of the mature stage, and the lowest bloodline quality was 2-star elite.

in other words, in terms of race value, both xiao ci and ah zhou could not compare to either of them.

“ta ta ta …”

the sound of chaotic footsteps was heard, and then five figures stepped out of the passage and appeared in front of bai wushang.

the direction they were standing in was illuminated by the electric arc, so their vision was particularly clear.

there were four men and one woman, except for the strong young man standing at the back who looked to be in his twenties.

the rest of the people were estimated to be in their thirties or forties, either uncles or mature women, far older than bai wushang.

“roar!”

ah zhou no longer hid in the shadows. in this situation, there was no point in ambushing. he decisively jumped out of the ground.

then, he stood beside bai wushang and opened the third eye between his eyebrows. he bared his teeth as if he was facing a great enemy.

the little rabbit also jumped onto bai wushang’s shoulder and perked up its ears, its little face tense.

these beasts seemed to be very difficult to deal with! master is in danger!

“eh?”

the brawny young man standing at the back was bald and muscular. he was 1.9 meters tall and looked very burly.

his temperament was supposed to be full of masculinity, showing his true manliness.

but when bai wushang took a closer look at his facial features, he didn’t know if it was because he had been too tired recently, or if he had experienced some kind of tribulation.

his eyes were slightly swollen, his cheeks were thin, and his pupils were turbid. there was a hint of frustration and gloominess in his eyes.

in short, at first glance, bai wushang had a very bad impression of this person, and he was naturally not very fond of him.

however, there was something strange.

when the other party saw him, or more accurately, when he saw the little rabbit and ah zhou, he revealed a bewildered expression.

“this man … has seen my pet before?”

bai wushang didn’t say anything, but he was even more surprised.

as soon as his hiding spot was exposed, he put on his helmet again to cover his face.

therefore, he did not take the initiative to reveal his personal information.

in that case, this subtle, fleeting expression of his was worth pondering over.

“hey, sneaky guy, are you eavesdropping on our conversation?”

a middle-aged man with a full beard and a mohawk glared at him and cursed, ”

“are you tired of living and want to die? come, come, come, i’ll satisfy you!”

if it was a young man with a bit of confidence, he might have immediately retaliated.

but bai wushang was different. a battle of words with no advantages or disadvantages was meaningless.

he always thought about the results. how could he obtain more information?

therefore, he tried to sound her out in a tactful way, ” “i was just passing by. if i have offended you, i’m sorry.”

bai wushang didn’t run away immediately because he had determined that this group of people couldn’t keep him.

even though there were two transcendent creatures hiding under his feet, there seemed to be monsters lurking in the darkness in the distance.

however, in the mature stage, as long as it wasn’t an extremely special agility-type, it was really difficult for it to be on par with xiao ci in terms of speed, who was at her peak in the middle stage of the mature stage.

it could even have an absolute advantage over some of the weaker ones who were not good at speed and were in the early or middle stages of the complete form.

this was bai wushang’s confidence.

of course, this self-confidence was not absolute. he was not headstrong to that extent.

this group of people was very strong, especially the bald youth. he deliberately restrained his soul power fluctuations, so he could not accurately sense his realm.

however, bai wushang had used his spatial perception and his greater amount of soul power.

he had the illusion that he was facing mu tianxing.

in other words, the other party was most likely a mystical general who had a powerful pet of the complete form level!

there was also the lightning array that he had yet to see. how exactly did they hunt the ‘crazy woman’ in the cave?

bai wushang had no way of knowing, so he didn’t dare to underestimate him.

staying here to ” talk ” was a risk for him. there was an element of gambling.

he was betting that the other party’s pet could not get away, could not be summoned in front of him, and could not deliberately target him.

“if an apology works, does it mean that i don’t have to bear the responsibility?”

a slightly plump mature woman on the left snorted with an unhappy expression.

beside her, a short man with extremely dark skin sneered. ”

“heh, i’ve set up alarm traps in the dozen or so passageways nearby.”

“you’re worthy of praise for being able to approach me without making a sound. your methods are not bad.”

” but you knew that this was man-made, yet you still tried to get close. now that we’ve caught you, it’s not up to you. ”

“fat spider, kill him!”

” hiss!!! ”

as soon as he finished speaking, the human-headed spider, which had the same strength as the zerg ruin but was slightly fatter, pointed its spear to the ground and was about to approach.

bai wushang’s eyes were cold. with a wave of his hand, the book of oath was already floating beside him.

there was no right or wrong in a fight for benefits.

however, from his perspective, how could he tolerate it if he were to go all out right from the start?

however, bai wushang’s movements became a bit stiff. he frowned and revealed a trace of astonishment.

the bald young man’s expression was calm at first, but there was a trace of impatience and gloominess in his eyes.

but suddenly, he gritted his teeth and roared. a few faint black lines appeared on his cheeks.

although it only lasted for a very, very short moment, bai wushang was sure that he was not seeing things.

what was that? a secret technique? curse? or was it some kind of special precious artifact that was hidden within his body?

bai wushang didn’t know. he only saw the bald young man staring at him, like a poisonous snake staring at its prey. he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, ”

“don’t kill him … i want him alive …” he said.
