"Boss, how did you know it was Quinn?" a young man asked nervously, looking around, afraid he would end up dismembered like the previous young man.
Shi Wu's face showed a cold smile. "There are four people who signed up for this assessment, besides us, there are Nong Nian, Liu Zhou, and Quinn."
"Do you think, with the demeanor of Nong Nian and Liu Zhou, they would resort to such despicable means?"
The crowd fell silent.
Indeed.
Given the personalities of Nong Nian and Liu Zhou, they would never do such a thing.
"Also, Wang Lu just said he wanted to have children with Xia Lan, and now he's been dismembered. Don't you think that's too much of a coincidence?"
"Why did Wang Lu have to be the one to die?"
"Just wait!"
"When Quinn and the others show up, we'll tear them to shreds!"
"Unless they can remain invisible forever!"
------
Quinn and the others couldn't remain invisible forever.
But they could use the Earth Escape technique to leave Black Wind Mountain.
Although Shi Wu had sealed off this area with the Sky Covering Banner, he couldn't confine the earth itself.
"Boss, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lost my temper and killed Wang Lu earlier!" Several miles away, Xia Lan was like a child who had made a mistake.
She knew.
The moment she killed Wang Lu, their identities were exposed.
Quinn said, "It's not a big deal, our identities were going to be revealed sooner or later!"
He knew.
There would inevitably be a fierce battle between him and Shi Wu.
So.
It didn't matter much if their identities were exposed before then.
"This time, Shi Wu is going to be so angry he'll spit blood!" Chen Nan looked in the direction of Black Wind Mountain, his eyes full of joy.
Zhou Li also smiled. "Those idiots thought we used invisibility talismans and that we were still trapped under the Sky Covering Banner, unaware that we had already left!"
Gong Yong grinned. "When they find out the truth, they'll definitely be so angry they'll spit blood."
Quinn also showed a faint smile. "There aren't many demons around our tribe. This time we've captured the corpses of fifty-eight demons. If nothing unexpected happens, the outcome is already secured!"
Chen Nan said, "It's not enough. The gap between us and Shi Wu should ideally be two hundred demons. Only then can we be completely assured of victory."
Quinn nodded slightly. "What are your thoughts now?"
Although Chen Nan was an outsider.
But.
He regarded Chen Nan as an expert.
If it weren't for Chen Nan's suggestion to reap the benefits of others' labor, they wouldn't have achieved this much.
Chen Nan looked in the direction of Black Wind Mountain and smiled. "With so many of us, we definitely can't defeat the demons. In that case, why don't we just follow Shi Wu and the others?"
Xia Lan gave him a glare. "I'm not denying this plan of yours, but you're truly wicked!"
Chen Nan said humbly, "It's just so-so!"
"Come, have something to eat first." Gong Yong took out some food from his storage bag and distributed it to everyone. It was all dried meat, convenient for storage and carrying.
Although the texture was tough and the taste wasn't great.
But to have something to eat in this ice and snow, one couldn't ask for too much.
Just as they were eating.
From the distant Black Wind Mountain, Shi Wu's enraged roar echoed: "Quinn, if you have the guts, come out and let's fight openly! What kind of hero hides in the shadows?"
Shi Wu was furious.
They had been waiting for over half an hour.
By all accounts, Quinn and the others should have appeared.
But the result only made him furious. He hadn't seen Quinn and the others at all.
"Boss, does Quinn have a lot of invisibility talismans? Otherwise, there's no explanation for their continued absence!" Chu Xiong's expression was grim.
Shi Wu's eyes were full of coldness, like a rampaging beast. "Impossible. The tribe doesn't have many invisibility talismans, even he has a limited number."
"If I'm not mistaken, he must have some means we don't know about."
At this moment.
Someone spoke up. "There's a legend about a spell that allows one to escape into the earth. Do you think Quinn has mastered this divine ability?"
Shi Wu's pupils trembled violently.
He naturally didn't believe Quinn could obtain such a legendary spell.
But at this moment.
Besides Earth Escape, there seemed to be no other more convincing explanation.
"If they have truly cultivated the legendary Earth Escape technique, then our situation is dire!" A hint of panic flashed in Shi Wu's eyes.
Although he possessed a powerful magical artifact that could seal off an area of space.
It couldn't seal off the earth.
"Doesn't this mean that as long as they follow us, they can reap the benefits of others' labor?" Chu Xiong exclaimed angrily. "This is cheating, it's unfair to us."
"No, after we go back, we have to tell the patriarch about their cheating and have him disqualify them from the competition."
"Yes, such opportunistic behavior is too despicable. Such people are not qualified to be the leader of our tribe."
"Stop arguing!" Shi Wu said angrily. "The immediate priority is to find a way to kill Quinn and the others. If they truly follow us, the position of tribal leader might slip through our fingers!"
As he spoke, he produced a thick stack of paper figures.
He muttered an incantation.
The paper figures soared into the air, transforming into streaks of yellow light that flew in all directions.
He wanted to find Quinn and the others and capture them all.
A moment later.
A cold glint flashed in Shi Wu's eyes. "They have indeed escaped. They are now hiding in a cave five miles away."
"As long as we go there, we can capture them all."
He looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone will use invisibility talismans later. We must block Quinn and the others in that cave. Even if they have Earth Escape, I can cut off their retreat." As he spoke, he produced a red talisman.
The golden runes on the talisman emitted an ancient and mysterious energy.
Seeing this red talisman.
Everyone gasped.
"Is this the God Slaying Talisman?"
The God Slaying Talisman.
A terrifying talisman.
Once unleashed, it could seal off a part of heaven and earth.
Yes.
It could not only seal heaven.
But also earth.
Even if Quinn and the others had cultivated Earth Escape, they would have nowhere to hide.
Let alone cultivators at the Heavenly God level.
Even a subordinate god general would perish upon encountering this talisman.
After all.
This item could not only destroy the physical body but even obliterate the opponent's soul.
"This is a talisman I earned after completing three hundred missions!" Shi Wu's eyes showed reluctance. This was his life-saving means.
But now.
He couldn't afford to care anymore.
He had to deal with Quinn and the others.
As long as he could become the new tribal leader, what was the God Slaying Talisman to him then?
Shi Wu let out an angry roar: "Quinn, I'm going to wear you down today! I want to see how many invisibility talismans you have."
Then, he looked at the crowd and immediately used an invisibility talisman, silently heading towards the cave where Chen Nan and the others were hiding.
