Chapter 59: Luo Bing’s Plan

Luo Bing shook his head and said calmly, “First of all, he is an autonomous awakener. His basic physical fitness is higher than all of us. Conservatively speaking, he is equivalent to a powerful pet beast in the middle stage youth form.”

“That’s true…” Lin Nana’s eyes were stunned. She recalled the scene of Bai Wushang fighting with the Thunderhorn Bull.

“Secondly, his pet beast is a Demon Ape, which is undoubtedly at the late youth form.”

“This creature’s biggest characteristic is its strength and recovery ability. It’s very good at prolonged battles. I’m worried that no matter how many low-level pet beasts there are, their effect on it will be very limited.”

The only other short-haired girl in the team spoke at the right time:

“But if you also make a move, Boss, there are three late youth form creatures in our team. They won’t be so cowardly, right?”

Luo Bing frowned slightly and snorted coldly:

“The Bloodline Fruit is about to mature. I don’t wish for any mistakes to occur. If we were to make a mistake… No, as long as it’s not a guaranteed victory, we would all be at a disadvantage… do you dare to guarantee that no one in the team would be injured in the hunt for this Bai fellow? I’m afraid that there might even be a loss of members, right?”

“At the end of the day, there are plenty of ways to earn mystic energy after returning to the academy. However, to be able to encounter this Bloodline Fruit is already a great fortune. How could we bear to miss it?”

“If that’s the case, Brother Luo, you must have other motives for recruiting him and telling him so much information, right?”

A short-cropped male student wearing an earring asked.

“That’s right. Regardless of whether he chooses to cooperate or reject, we are the ones who take the initiative.”

Luo Bing revealed a gentle smile and said:

“If he is willing to cooperate, he will be a good fighter. We can make use of him.”

“It’s up to us to decide whether we should share some soup or kill him.”

“On the other hand, it doesn’t matter if he isn’t willing to cooperate…”

Luo Bing paused and looked up at the man with the earring:

“Ah Bin, tomorrow morning, contact Wang Wen and Yougu and tell them about the arrival of the autonomous awakener Bai Wushang in the Silver Leaf Forest.”

“I understand. Brother Luo, you want to use them to kill!” The man with the ear stud was pleasantly surprised.

“It’s just a possibility. Wang Wen and his people are relatively more stable, so they might not take the bait. However, it’s hard to say about Yougu and his people. They are too unscrupulous, and I can’t figure out their thoughts.”

Luo Bing pursed his lips and continued:

“Of course, no matter what, my goal will be achieved… We are not afraid of having more competitors. Instead, we are afraid that the situation is not chaotic enough. We have to increase the pressure on the Cat Demon and the other two groups of students. This Bai Wushang is a very good choice!”

“Understood! Brother Luo is the one who is farsighted!” Everyone praised.

Looking at his team members released from their previous depressed mood and diligently cleaning up the leftovers or actively patrolling the area, Luo Bing let out a deep breath, and a trace of solemnity appeared in his eyes.

What he said earlier was not a lie. It was indeed his true thoughts.

However, before that, the most fundamental reason that prompted him to intercept and stop his team members from surrounding Bai Wushang was that his sixth sense had issued a warning.

His perceptive ability had been relatively sensitive since he was young, and it had helped him avoid many dangers.

This time, he had reacted!

His intuition told him that if he continued to attack Bai Wushang, the outcome would be unpredictable.

That was why he had chosen a more stable method to deal with it.

After a moment of silence, Luo Bing found the strong man with a dignified look and asked, “Ah Gui, have you gathered the materials needed for alchemy? If you’re still lacking, we’ll go and look for them tonight…”

…

A wisp of dawn broke through the clouds and marked the arrival of a new day.

In the Silver Leaf Forest, the flowers were delicate and beautiful, the dew was crystal clear and the air seemed to carry a refreshing sweetness.

Bai Wushang held his breath and slowly pushed aside the silver leaves in front of him with his two fingers.

His gaze passed through the large silver leaf trees that were wide apart and landed on a small tree a few hundred meters away.

It was a small red tree that was about a meter tall. There was not a single leaf insight, and it stood tall and bare.

At the top of its trunk, some branches extended upwards, spiralling into the shape of a bird’s nest. It also looked like there was a straw hat on its head, and it looked extremely weird.

“This is the magical fruit tree?”

Bai Wushang widened his eyes, wanting to take a closer look. Unfortunately, the distance between them was too far, and the extra details were hard to see.

Sighing in annoyance, Bai Wushang turned his eyes to the beast shadow lying beside the small tree.

Dark yellow hair on its temples, a rough long tail, thick limbs, and ferocious claws…

It was the Cat Demon!

At this moment, the Cat Demon was lying on the ground and sleeping. There were all kinds of bloodstains and slightly rotten corpses around it. Without exception, all of them had lost their heads.

“Based on this, Luo Bing did not lie to me. This Cat Demon is very powerful. Otherwise, it would not be able to easily defend the magical fruit tree.”

Bai Wushang frowned slightly and slowly unfurled his brows. He thought to himself:

“However, it is fortunate that this is the trail ground. The strength range of a transcendent creature is within low levels. With just a Cat Demon, I still have a chance to fight for it!”

“If it were the outside world, the one fighting for such a magical fruit tree would at least be a monster with a complete form. That would be called despair!”

Just as he was thinking in his head, the sleeping Cat Demon suddenly jumped up, arched its back, raised its claws and roared towards the sky.

“Meow –”

In the next moment, a faint fragrance drifted into the tip of Bai Wushang’s nose.

“This is… the strange fragrance of the magical fruit tree when it is about to mature!”

Bai Wushang muttered to himself. His eyes quickly scanned the surroundings and found some wild beasts one after another. Their eyes were red and they were agitated.

They pounced on the small red tree one after another. The Cat Demon mercilessly waved its claws and slaughtered them. Blood gushed out like a battlefield with dreadful and ferocious fighting.

“Let’s go. The authenticity of the information has been confirmed. If we stay any longer, it will be dangerous. Let’s wait for the Bloodline Fruit to fully mature before we come back!”

Bai Wushang quietly climbed down the tree, shuttling through the low bushes and stealthily leaving.

On the way, he suddenly stopped and exclaimed in surprise.

“Eh, I think something was spying on me just now?”

He looked left and right but did not find anything. That strange feeling only flashed past for an instant.

Bai Wushang raised his vigilance to the maximum. He didn’t let go of the distress talisman and continued to walk back.

After finding the Red Horse hidden in a cave, Bai Wushang frowned. He vaguely felt that something was wrong.

“Maybe it’s just a beast? Or…”

Bai Wushang couldn’t conclude. He decisively chose to change his base and came to a place that was about fifteen kilometres away from the magical fruit tree. It looked like a place with few people.

He patiently guarded for a long time, but there was no movement. Everything was calm.

“Maybe it’s my imagination?”

Bai Wushang was confused, but he made up his mind:

“In short, be careful. In the remaining two or three days, I want to let Ah Zhou break through to the peak of the youth form. At the same time, I want to prepare the cooking of the Pink Mushroom Crabmeat Roll. I want to prepare for the battle for the Bloodline Fruit in the most complete form!”
