Chapter 60 - 60 Important Audience
60 Important Audience
In a remote wilderness, a group of mysterious people in black robes were gathered together.
“I just received news that the night patrollers of Golden Cloud City have already mobilized and begun to eliminate the evil spirits in the surroundings.”
As soon as the leader of the black-robed men spoke, the other black-robed men revealed excited expressions.
“Good timing! I’ve long wanted to kill the night patrollers!”
“I finally have a chance to kill the night patrollers. I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time.”
“Heh, the night patrollers are a bunch of trash who overestimate themselves. Do they think they can eradicate evil spirits and ruin our plan?”
“I really want to see how different the evil spirits that the night patrollers become after death are from ordinary evil spirits.”
The leader of the black-robed men also had a cold glint in his eyes. “Then, apart from the original plan, there’s another arrangement to kill the night patroller. I can also use the corpses of these night patrollers to create more evil spirits!”
The other black-robed men nodded. “Yessir!”
… .
As night fell, the night patrollers continued to eliminate the evil spirits after resting for a while.
Xiao Shi’s team of six set off. They were all in a good mood. The gains from the night before allowed each of them to obtain more than 2,000 contribution points. Even Xiao Shi was assigned six to seven hundred contribution points.
It was comparable to the gains from completing a Level 2 mission.
However, Xiao Shi did not value contribution points very much now. The other night patrollers also needed to use contribution points to exchange for some cultivation resources. However, he did not need it at all.
With the various Martial Entry-Level items he had obtained from killing them, he no longer lacked resources.
Currently, contribution points only had one use for him. That was to advance to an inner sect disciple. Therefore, he did not need too many contribution points. What he mainly valued was the items that dropped after killing the evil spirit.
However, Wang Luo and the others were very kind. They took special care of him. Not only did they let him join the team, but they also allocated a certain amount of contribution points to him. In fact, with Xiao Shi’s role in the team, it was very reasonable even if they did not give him any contribution points.
After all, Xiao Shi didn’t do much in the team. If he distributed contribution points according to everyone’s performance in the team, he basically wouldn’t be able to get any contribution points. However, they still insisted on distributing a certain amount of contribution points to him.
In response, Xiao Shi chose to protect their safety and repay them with the corpses of many evil spirits.
Now that the operation had begun, everyone became cautious. Although they had gained a lot yesterday, the risks they had experienced made them not dare to be as reckless as yesterday. Even if they encountered a lone evil spirit, they did not attack immediately.
Instead, they observed their surroundings first. After confirming that there were no more evil spirits nearby, they decided to attack. Although they would gain very little this way, it was safer. They knew very well that if not for that mysterious expert yesterday, they would not have survived until now.
They did not dare to fool around anymore. They were willing to gain less to ensure the safety of the team.
This made Xiao Shi feel a little uncomfortable. Their cautious actions made it impossible for him to find a chance to attack. He couldn’t possibly control the Warrior Puppet to attack a lone evil spirit. If this continued, it would be very difficult for him to gain anything.
He had to think of a way.
Just like that, in the latter half of the night, Wang Luo and his team were only patrolling steadily. They were unwilling to take any risks.
Especially when they saw a dilapidated village again, they chose to retreat without thinking.
Although their night patrollers’ operation this time was to eliminate all the evil spirits they encountered, this was also on the premise that they were strong enough. Once the evil spirits they encountered exceeded their ability, they would only be tempting fate if they went up.
It didn’t mean much.
However, just as they were about to leave this village, whoosh! A figure suddenly rushed out from not far away.
It appeared in front of them. It was a tall figure wearing a black robe and a hood. His face was covered by a black scarf, and even his eyes were covered.
Although his face could not be seen, this familiar figure made Wang Luo recognize at a glance that this was the mysterious expert who had saved them yesterday.
His figure appeared in front of them. There was a slight pause. He turned to look at them. He did not say a word. In a flash, he rushed straight to the village in front of him.
Wang Luo and the others were all excited. They did not expect to encounter this mysterious expert again. From the other party’s actions, they could tell that he was clearly going to destroy the evil spirits in the village.
“Brother Luo, should we… follow him?” Yang Zhen asked eagerly.
Originally, they had already planned to retreat. But now that this mysterious expert had appeared, perhaps they could follow and admire this expert’s heroic bearing in killing the evil spirits. If the other party still did not want the evil spirit’s corpses, they could take away these evil spirit’s corpses like yesterday.
Thinking of this, everyone was excited.
Wang Luo was also excited. From this mysterious expert’s attitude towards them just now, the other party should not be disgusted by their actions.
Immediately, they followed behind and ran towards the village.
Soon, they saw this mysterious expert stopped at the entrance of the village, as if he was waiting for them.
“Senior…” Wang Luo took a step forward, wanting to take this opportunity to thank him.
However, just as he finished speaking, the mysterious expert in front of him raised his hand and made a gesture that did not need to be said. Then, he walked into the village and arrived in front of a house not far ahead.
Boom!
He raised his hand and punched the entire house until it collapsed. This instantly attracted all the evil spirits in the village.
“Heavens! Is this mysterious expert the one you met yesterday?!” Xiao Shi looked shocked.
“That’s right!” Wang Changhuan was very excited. “We can see this Senior attack again!”
“I think this Senior might enjoy showing his strength in front of us. He specially waited for us to come before starting to attack.” Yang Zhen made a serious guess.
No, I just want the Warrior Puppet to appear in my sight. Xiao Shi thought to himself.
This was also a drawback of the Warrior Puppet. Although Xiao Shi could control it with his blood and qi, he could not have the perspective of the Warrior Puppet. Even if he left a blood qi mark on the Warrior Puppet, he could only sense the Warrior Puppet’s movements and could not see the environment around it.
Therefore, when controlling the Warrior Puppet, especially when controlling its battle, it had to be within his line of sight. If it exceeded his vision, he would not be able to see the movements beside the Warrior Puppet.
That was why the Warrior Puppet had stopped at the village entrance. He needed to wait for an important “spectator” like Xiao Shi to arrive.
Only then could he attack.
