Was she truly not hired by the City Lord to motivate them to train harder? Many people thought this silently.
Meanwhile, there was a shadowy figure hiding quietly behind the tower. As he listened to these people’s discussions, the corners of his lips were raised into a bloodthirsty grin.
However, his entire head was covered by a dark-colored cloak, and no one could see his face clearly. So, at this moment, the mocking expression in his eyes was all the more distinct.
“You wanna pass the third mountain? Heh, Su Luo, don’t you know that some people will die on their way to participate in the exam?”
With a cold laugh, he then disappeared noiselessly from his location. When he appeared again, all that could be seen as a tiny black dot up ahead.
He was heading in the same direction as Su Luo.
She and Big Sister Wei dashed all the way towards Midstream Mountain.
Big Sister Wei was always very simple to work with. If it were anyone else, they would ask Su Luo why they had to go through the trouble of running to their destination on foot when they could ride on the small golden boat instead? However, Big Sister Wei wouldn’t ask these questions; she would always do whatever Su Luo said.
In front of them was a rolling mountain range 1, and the lush and glistening greenery was very pleasing to the eye.
There were also ancient trees that stood very straight and tall, reaching into the skies.
If a person wanted to go to Midstream Mountain, they had to pass through this mountain range.
In the meantime, Su Luo felt a pair of fiery eyes staring fixedly at her back. That pair of eyes shone with a malicious and greedy light like that of wolves and tigers, vicious and ruthless.
Inwardly, Su Luo let out a cold laugh.
She wasn’t unfamiliar with this pair of eyes.
As soon as she left the Tower of Trials, this pair of eyes had been following her like how one’s shadow followed one’s body.
Who could it be besides Leng Xiao?
Early on when Leng Xiao appeared, Little Purple Sable had already told Su Luo that he was the one who had ambushed and shot arrows at her in front of the tower!!!
Su Luo did not know how she had offended him to make him hate her so much. Nevertheless, Su Luo was not afraid. If an enemy showed up, she would just kill them. Why waste so much energy thinking about it?
Nonetheless, this was clearly not the right time to have a duel with Leng Xiao, because she could sense how powerful Leng Xiao was. If she did not endure this now, she might end up fighting a battle with him where both sides would suffer. That would cause her to be at a great disadvantage in Midstream Mountain’s Tower of Trials.
It was due to this that she asked Elder Ning to distract Leng Xiao. This way, her battle with Leng Xiao could occur in the Tower of Trials, which was the best time for her to take action.
Su Luo mentally calculated the time without speaking.
It had been approximately six hours since she came to this mountain range.
“Six hours? That’s enough.”
Su Luo gave a signal to Big Sister Wei. Then, she grabbed Big Sister Wei and suddenly used her teleportation ability.
As the gravity here was quite strong, Su Luo didn’t teleport far. However, this allowed her to disappear from Leng Xiao’s line of sight.
Leng Xiao had initially already planned to deal with Su Luo here, yet who knew she would just disappear out of nowhere?
Nevertheless, Leng Xiao didn’t think about it much and rushed into the woods without saying anything further.
He was certain she had gone straight ahead, so he had to speed up! Leng Xiao thought about it for a bit and then moved forward at top speed.
Why didn’t Leng Xiao suspect Su Luo would turn around and go back? The reason for that was very simple. Midstream Mountain was very far from here. She could just barely make it in time if she went over right now. However, if she went back again… Did she even want to participate in the Tower of Trials’ exam anymore?
So Leng Xiao kept running forward without hesitation 2.
On the way, he also encountered Old Ning.
