78 Robbery, I’m a Professional!
Hearing Wang Xiao’s provocative words, the three secret realm hunters immediately sneered.
“You’re young, but you sure are bold!”
The secret realm hunter in the middle grinned, his face filled with disdain. “We’ve seen your performance in the lord competition, but even if you defeat the level four Crimson Star lord, you were only able to do so because you got lucky with the timing and location.”
Wang Xiao pursed his lips and did not say anything, because even he thought the same.
!!
If the Crimson Star people did not underestimate their enemy, Wang Xiao’s opening would not have been so smooth. If the arena was not an artificial secret realm, the [Destruction Demon] could also successfully descend. If there were not so many lords working together, even Wang Xiao would definitely die.
The timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony all played a part. If any one of them was missing, Wang Xiao would not be standing here right now.
Seeing that Wang Xiao was silent, the three secret realm hunters became even more arrogant.
The secret realm hunter on the left took out a black crystal and threw it up and down in his hand like a ball. “Don’t say that we didn’t give you a chance. Hand over all your resources and we can let you leave. Otherwise… Hmph!”
Although the man did not finish his sentence, his meaning was already obvious—either Wang Xiao paid up or he would have to pay with his life.
Wang Xiao sighed and raised his hands, looking like he was about to surrender.
The three secret realm hunters immediately laughed out loud. What “a rising star”? So that’s all you got!
However, before the three of them could be happy for long, Wang Xiao suddenly jumped up. He grabbed a vine and squeezed into the dense tree crown!
As the rustling of the leaves quickly disappeared into the distance, the three secret realm hunters looked at each other for a while. Finally, someone reacted and patted his companion before shouting anxiously, “What are you waiting for?! Chase after them!”
With that said, the person immediately ran forward. However, before he could take three steps, he stepped into the waterhole. He lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground. The smashed moss instantly covered his head and face!
The other two people were not much better. One of them tripped over a tree root in the grass, and the other directly sank into the swamp and the water almost instantly reached his waist!
“Save me! Save me quickly!”
The secret realm hunters who had fallen into the swamp shouted crazily. The other two hurriedly got up to save him, but when they dragged their companions out of the swamp, they discovered that the other party’s legs were badly mangled, as if he had been bitten by something.
Only at this moment did the three of them understand why Wang Xiao wanted to leave the tree.
The ground in this forest looked flat, but in fact, there might be a hidden natural trap under every moss.
If they were lucky, they would fall if they encountered tree roots or waterholes. However, if they were unlucky and stepped into the swamp, they would most likely die!
The three dignified secret realm hunters actually did not have as much experience as a young man.
This made the three of them even angrier. After giving their injured companion a recovery potion, the three of them immediately climbed up the treetop and chased in the direction Wang Xiao had left!
A few minutes later, the light in the open space twisted. Then, a man and a woman appeared out of thin air.
“Aiya… They’ve really left!”
Xu Junrou looked around unhappily and raised her hand to punch her male companion beside her. “Yi Han! It’s all your fault for saying that you wanted to buy some props. Look, there’s only the two of us left!”
The boy called Yi Han was not angry after being punched. He rubbed the place where he had been hit and smiled. “I just want to be more prepared! This is a medium-sized secret realm. Who knows what dangers there will be?”
Xu Junrou snorted. “Then what should we do now? We can’t explore it ourselves, right?”
“Why not?”
Yi Han chuckled and handed a bracelet inlaid with orange rubies to Xu Junrou. “This damp environment makes me very uncomfortable. Put this on. I want to set it up a little.”
Xu Junrou put on the bracelet and blinked sarcastically. “Then take it easy. Don’t burn this place down.”
“Don’t worry, I know my limits.”
As Yi Han spoke, he closed his eyes. A moment later, he suddenly opened them. His deep eyes burned like two furnaces!
Almost at the same time, the air around the two of them began to rapidly heat up.
The fog dissipated and the moss dried up. In less than ten seconds, the originally cold, humid, and fog-filled [Mist Rainforest] was forcefully opened up into a dry area of a hundred meters!
“Phew—”
Yi Han exhaled softly, and the fire in his eyes extinguished. Then, he turned to Xu Junrou and smiled brightly. “How is it? I told you I know my limits, right?”
“Tsk! Smug!”
Xu Junrou rolled her eyes, but the expression on her face was a little solemn. “When did you become so powerful? Even with the talent of [Element Overlord], there’s no way you can create a venue without relying on items, right?”
Yi Han smiled proudly. “I suppose that’s what I get for being a genius.”
Xu Junrou could not help but roll her eyes again. However, she did not notice that Yi Han had secretly thrown a used [Venue Card] into the grass when she was not paying attention.
After exchanging a few words, Xu Junrou put on a serious expression. She opened the interface and said as she operated, “I’ll start building the base now. It’ll take about 15 minutes. Help me keep watch.”
“Leave it to me!”
Yi Han agreed and the light beside him immediately began to twist.
A moment later, a red saber-toothed tiger appeared out of thin air. Although it was only as tall as Yi Han’s waist, the powerful aura emitted from its body was impossible to ignore!
“Sigh…”
Seeing the red saber-toothed tiger, Yi Han suddenly sighed. “If I succeed this time, my [Lava Ripper] can be upgraded to gold. Otherwise, others will think that I’m that beast tamer lord of the Kaiyang Academy if I bring it around every day!”
“Isn’t that good? After all, you’re not even half as powerful as him!”
Xu Junrou laughed coquettishly and said sarcastically, “The growth of [Orcs] is the slowest among all the soldiers. Just wait slowly!”
Yi Han pursed his lips and did not say anything. He whistled softly and the [Lava Ripper] turned into a red light and disappeared into the forest.
…
Three kilometers away.
Wang Xiao grabbed a vine and swung himself to the ground. He took more than ten breaths before calming down.
Although there were not as many natural traps on the tree as on the ground, it was really not easy to dodge and move between the branches!
“After running so far, I should be able to avoid those two people from Yuheng Academy, right?”
...
Wang Xiao sized up the surroundings and muttered. Although he did not mind revealing his strength, it was best not to let the people of the other academies see what he was about to do next.
It was enough for him to be known as “Chief Wang” in the Kaiyang Academy. Now that he was considered a public figure, he could not do anything to smear the reputation of his academy!
Hearing the commotion in the treetop getting closer and closer, Wang Xiao summoned the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] with a thought. “Handsome, hide below!”
The Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon let out a whoosh and its huge body instantly seeped into the ground and disappeared.
Wang Xiao looked in the direction the three of them were chasing in and slowly curled his lips into a wicked smile. “I’m a professional when it comes to robbery!”
