Shadow Hack
chapter-682

Miss An began to panic after seeing the numerous beasts. In contrast, Li Yunmu didn’t appear tensed. It seemed like he had anticipated that a group of beasts would be waiting under the steep cliff.

“Miss An, what should we do now? These eastern domain’s beasts clans are lifeforms humans can’t fight.”

Miss An was naturally nervous, but she was the leader of Underworld Serpent, so regardless of whatever situation they encountered, she couldn’t reveal her emotions. Otherwise, it would show that she was useless as a leader.

Her gaze fell on Li Yunmu. She entrusted all her hope to him.

He was the one who had proposed that they should enter the eastern domain. Once they encountered crisis, he wouldn’t just abandon their Underworld Serpent, right?

The system in Li Yunmu’s body had already scanned the beasts in front of them. [These are only ordinary beasts, not worthy of being feared! If we had encountered devil beasts or higher level monsters, then it would truly be dreadful. They are only lowest level beasts.]

Lowest?

Li Yunmu breathed a sigh of relief. Only after obtaining the system’s confirmation did he dare to attack. If an accident actually happened, then let alone speaking of proceeding towards the Ancient Lands, he might not even be able to return.

When Li Yunmu saw Miss An watching him with hopeful eyes, he decided to tease this girl so that in the future, she obeyed and listened to his every word instead of creating some trouble for him.

“Some of these beasts are giant beasts from ancient times. We need to run first! Given the strength of your people, we cannot be their opponents!”

When faced with the colossus monster, Miss An didn’t doubt his words and promptly issued orders. “Everyone quickly retreat, these are giant beasts from ancient times!”

Li Yunmu laughed inwardly. While watching the proceedings, he noticed to his surprise that the beasts were intelligent. After seeing Miss An’s and the others’ deard and the way they retreated hurriedly, the beasts revealed their sharp fangs and rushed after them.

In the beats’ eyes, as soon as the opponent began to flee, it clearly proved that they were weaker beings, and as the stronger ones, the beasts naturally wouldn’t let them go.

The beasts rushed after Miss An and the others; the earth even trembled under their feet. The beasts were unwilling to let the woman off, viewing her as their prey.

In the meantime, Li Yunmu stayed calm while laughing inwardly for making a fool of Miss An.

When she saw that Li Yunmu wasn’t the least bit anxious while she was panting for breath, she instantly realized that something was wrong. If they were being hunted, why did that guy seem like he was rejoicing about something?

“Are you playing with me?” Miss An immediately asked. She stopped running, and her gaze turned ruthless.

Li Yunmu saw that he had been discovered, and he smiled at her. “Forget it, I was just joking with you! Actually, these are just ordinary beasts! Don’t tell me that your Underworld Serpent cannot even defeat such beasts.”

“Scoundrel!” Miss An cursed in a rage.

After hearing Li Yunmu’s words, the people of Underworld Serpent entered battle mode to deal with the beasts. Given their sage flux level strength, they weren’t afraid of them.

As expected, they swept across the beasts with complete ease. Once they finished and recalled the scene from just a moment ago, when they were running away, they felt quite ridiculous.

Because of the widespread rumors regarding the eastern domain, the people from the western region were frightened easily.

Li Yunmu took a deep breath and said with a smile, “Admittedly this eastern region is mysterious, but you can’t be afraid of everything here. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be just funny.”

Li Yunmu’s words caused Miss An’s face to flush red. She understood very little about the eastern domain, but she presented herself like a weak chicken.

“You still haven’t seen the true foundation of our Underworld Serpent. Your present evaluation of us is unfair!” she said coldly.

Li Yunmu couldn’t help but smile and shake his head. “You have an opportunity in front of you, so you should properly cherish it!”

The doorway to the eastern domain was surprisingly a vast ocean. If they wanted to reach the Ancient Lands, they had to first traverse a vast ocean, and no one knew what sort of monsters lived in it.

Underworld Serpent’s people were cautious, and they instantly halted. How could it be good? What sort of life forms existed there? Facing the unknown, their hearts were filled with dread.

In the western world, they weren’t afraid even of gods. But in the eastern domain, regardless of whether it was ordinary beasts or the vast ocean, they were all extremely dreadful.

A hint of cowardice appeared on Miss An’s face. Earlier, their luck had been good, so they had only encountered ordinary beasts. But if they entered the vast ocean and encountered a devil beast or even a divine beast, how would she protect her people?

Li Yunmu saw Miss An biting her lip in hesitation. She didn’t seem ready to take the risk.

He smiled slightly. “Since Miss An doesn’t dare, we will part ways here. I want to check out the eastern domain!”

Upon seeing Li Yunmu walking toward the rotating spatial door in front of the vast ocean, Miss An pulled him back all of a sudden. “You are courting death, you know? No one knows exactly what lives there. If you advance rashly, aren’t you afraid of dying early?”

Li Yunmu smiled indifferently. “If you don’t go, then don’t tell me that you intend to spend your lifetime in the safety of this mountainous region? I don’t know whether vicious beasts or giant beasts or devil beasts exist in the vicinity!

“If our luck is good then we will only encounter beasts, but what if we encounter high level beast clans? You would have led your Underworld Serpent to its death then.”

Li Yunmu’s words scared Miss An. She gritted her teeth and hardened her heart before saying furiously, “I-I will follow you and take the risk. But I am afraid that when in danger, you might abandon us. You must remember that I am going with you because I am afraid that you might encounter danger, so you also shouldn’t forget favors and violate justice!”

Li Yunmu was laughing in his heart; the woman was clearly trying to use him to get out of an embarrassing situation. She was afraid that he would encounter danger? This was simply ridiculous.

Underworld Serpent only thought of their own benefit. When did they ever show consideration for others?
