Chapter 94: Those Who Are Not Of Our Kin Are Sure To Be Of A Different Heart
The lion clan’s wind spell at his feet had not yet worn off. Although the whirlwind was not as strong as before, it was still functioning while Su Mo ran.
Assisted by both electrical and magical means, Su Mo’s movement speed was abnormally fast.
Standing on a high slope, he finally glanced toward the camp below that had been turned into a messy battlefield. Seeing that the humans had already fled, Su Mo resolutely turned his head and left the scene.
War is cruel!
Especially ethnic conflicts!
Su Mo was not sure whether, after getting rid of these kobolds, the lion clan would change targets and focus on him, the person who “sent charcoal in the winter”.
“Those who are not our kin are sure to be of a different persuasion. Compared to the lion people, I am alone and am but a single person. Excluding the explosive packs… if we were to talk about fighting this type of enemy, who is unafraid of death, I alone am not their match at this time…”
“I can only seek victory in the chaos. It is only when the situation has become a mess that I will have the opportunity to reap some benefits!”
The more unfamiliar species and potential enemies there were, the more insecurity Su Mo felt in his heart.
The lion clan that seemingly collaborated with him was simply the case of two parties coincidentally being able to benefit each other in this situation. If the lion clan found out the secrets of the explosives, then there would be no way for Su Mo to retaliate.
Ordinary people would take a knife and approach a group of gangsters to negotiate terms. Su Mo would naturally not do such a stupid thing.
“There are at least thousands of powerful figures in the kobold castle. The lion clan seemed to be presumptuous this time, but in fact they did not win the battle. They only captured the first outpost. When the kobolds return to retaliate, that would be when the lion clan’s real nightmare begins.”
“I need to take advantage of this time…”
While running, Su Mo operated the phone in his hand.
Like Hua Xia’s old phones, the interface of the “Ginoa” phone was rather similar.
With just a few attempts, Su Mo had found the place to switch on the network settings.
Excluding the three networks of Yi Xin, Dian Tong and Lian Dong, he could freely select from the remaining networks in the interface.
At this time, the network symbolizing the lion people flashed, and a miniaturized version of the lion people’s avatar appeared behind it.
Without hesitation, Su Mo switched on the network. After three to five seconds of waiting, the main interface of the phone began to change.
“What a great thing, the map within fifty kilometers is visible to me just like that!”
Slowing down, Su Mo carefully looked at the small dots in the middle of the screen.
The signs symbolizing the small green dot were at the bottom, and the signs symbolizing the big and small red dots were at the top and bottom.
The big dot represented the lion people who had charged into battle just now. When he tried to turn at an angle, Su Mo could immediately determine the position of the remaining lion people.
Coincidentally it happened to be along the southeast of the camp, about 50 kilometers away from here.
“It seems that the lion people left some clansmen to guard the camps just now, but this is fine. At least I’ve confirmed their location.”
Going back along the way that he had passed through with the lion people, Su Mo drank two mouthfuls of psychic energy water to restore his strength. He then continued on his way, taking Oreo with him.
At this time, the lion clan’s camps were empty, so it was a good time to steal.
Regarding a species that could judge when to advance or retreat, and could regain their morale even after suffering a severe defeat, Su Mo was even more worried about the lion people than the kobolds.
Once the lion clan gets rid of the kobolds, with the ability to come and go like the wind and being unafraid of death, they would be headache-inducing neighbors more than anything else.
As his steps no longer were burdened by the wounded lion warriors, Su Mo managed to return to the village in just over an hour.
Lying prone on the ground, Su Mo slowly moved his body forward and inched closer to the rear of the lion clan’s camp.
Generally speaking, most people would find the defense to be weaker at the rear than the front, and the lion clan was no exception to this rule.
After half an hour, Su Mo had moved behind a giant log at the rear of the village; this position already being exceedingly close to the interior of the lion people’s camp.
Through the gaps between the giant logs, Su Mo could even see individuals of the lion clan playing and frolicking about in the village.
“I can’t wait any longer. I’ll have to quickly blow up this place and run away after taking all the loot!!”
After checking that there were no strong opponents in the lion people’s camp, Su Mo simply took out a ten-catty explosive pack and began to install the fuze on it.
This time, Su Mo chose the ten-minute lead wire to ensure his safety.
However, just when he completed installing the fuze and was about to instruct Oreo where to place it, a strong gust of wind began to rage.
“Damn… what is this?”
Raising his head, Su Mo was shocked to find that, in the center of the lion clan’s camp, a hole had suddenly cracked open five meters above the ground.
From this cracked opening, raging gusts of wind blew forth.
When all the lion people waiting in the camp saw the opening, they immediately began to cheer.
“A space crack? It’s outrageous, can this thing just casually appear like this?”
The Earth’s scientists have explored the endless field of wormholes without ever deriving a data model. Now that this thing had suddenly appeared in front of him, Su Mo suddenly felt his scientific worldview collapse a little.
“If there were scientists researching this around here, I am afraid they would have gone crazy at this point!”
Su Mo muttered to himself, staring at the growing crack without averting his eyes.
The crack was originally five meters, but gradually expanded to about seven meters. As the cracks expanded, it began to slowly make contact with the ground of the wasteland.
All the lion people formed a large circle, staring at the crack in the middle while holding their hands together. They were cheering and turning in circles.
In Su Mo’s line of sight, the ten-meter high crack stopped expanding when its edge landed on the ground.
Gradually, the crack rippled, and a furry hand stretched out from it.
Following the extension of the hand, nine lion people came out from the crack carrying a huge log, upon which there was still meat that was not completely dried hanging from it.
Seeing this scene, all the lion people went into an uproar!
The scene soon became uncontrollably chaotic, and the enthusiastic lion people from the camp greeted them, some replacing the roles of the lion people who were carrying things, and others taking off the meat from the huge log and putting it aside.
Teams of lion people carried things out in an orderly manner. It was only when eleven teams of lion people, which was 99 lion people in total, had walked out of it, that the space crack quickly collapsed and shrank.
The raging wind on the plains began to subside and, under the gaze of all the expectant lion people…
A wooden sculpture fell out of the crack in the space, exuding an emerald light…
“Treasure! This is a treasure!”
Lowering his head and glancing at the restless Oreo, Su Mo suddenly felt murderous intent and his eyes focused on the wooden sculpture in the hand of the lion man at the center.
