Chapter 2560: Chapter 2561: Missing Out on a Share of the Spoils
But, what exactly is wrong with these two people?
For a moment, he really couldn’t think of it.
But he always felt that these two people seemed to have a connection with him, and a big one at that, yet he had never met them before!
“Those two people?”
The subordinate also glanced at Sui Zimo and Lin Caisang.
His eyes were not sharp, and he couldn’t see any issues with that couple, except that their strength was somewhat formidable.
But what of it? In the Illusion Continent, there were plenty of powerful individuals. All those who had attempted to oppose his master had already perished by his master’s hands.
“Master, do you need me to take care of them?” he asked.
Since his master found these two people suspicious, they should just die then. In the vast forest, dealing with two people was the easiest thing.
However, when Lu Tianfeng heard his words, he cast a cold glance at him.
“Just you?”
Not qualified enough!
The remaining four words he did not utter, but the meaning was clear in his words, and the mockery evident in his eyes said it all.
The subordinate didn’t expect his master to say that; his face instantly turned red with shame!
What was wrong with him?
No matter how strong those two were, as the saying goes, “an open spear is easy to dodge, a hidden arrow is hard to defend against.”
He might not win in open combat, but couldn’t he resort to stealth?
“Then what does Master mean…”
Though he thought this, he dared not contradict his master’s words and asked cautiously.
“Continue watching them, and if they truly seem suspicious, we’ll kill them!”
Lu Tianfeng cast another cold glance at the two of them, then turned around and left.
Everyone was gathering medicinal herbs, and he too needed to play along, find some herbs to bring back, or he would surely be suspected.
…
The sky gradually darkened.
The original two teams had turned into three teams after encountering the Shining Eye Beast, and they continued to advance toward the assembly point.
In the team, those led by Captain Yuan were mostly injured. Even with the use of spiritual medicine, they couldn’t be healed quickly, but they could still barely keep moving.
However, the progress was significantly delayed.
Captain Liu’s team was not happy about this slow pace, but since Sui Zimo and his team didn’t complain, they had nothing to say either.
So, before it got completely dark, the twenty-one of them found a place and decided to rest for the night and continue on the next morning.
“Captain, at this slow pace, when will we ever reach the assembly point?”
Someone in Captain Liu’s team was displeased and asked.
“Exactly, Captain, why don’t we go on ahead? At this rate, by the time we reach the assembly point, everything good might have already been allocated, and we would get nothing!”
Another person added.
They needed to reach the assembly point to know what tasks they would be assigned.
But the tasks were always given to those who arrived first. If they were the last to arrive, they wouldn’t get any good assignments!
“Shut up!”
Captain Liu lowered his voice and sternly rebuked the two who were speaking.
“Do you think our team could get any good tasks?”
He didn’t know if the tasks would be good, but he knew that after killing a Shining Eye Beast earlier, Lin Caisang’s team had acquired a lot of good things!
And on their way to the assembly point, they would surely encounter even better demons. If they went on ahead now, wouldn’t they miss out on a great opportunity?
