If Hua Gu hadn't mentioned the back mountain, Tang Rao wouldn't have gone to see it. But since it was mentioned, how could such a mysterious place not be explored?

"We're both stuck here, and yet you still have the mind to wander around and explore. This is very much like my own personality."

Old Crane's heart was filled with more thoughts of wandering and exploring than anyone else's.

"Not exactly the same; when you wander and explore, you know the path ahead. I'm different — every time, it's a gamble with my life, and maybe with just one misstep, I could lose it all."

That's why many times, Tang Rao didn't want to make friends, afraid of dragging them into an abyss.

But fate was teasing him, as Tang Rao still brought two people along.

In the deep gorge, it began to drizzle. Tang Rao was soaked, but the beauty of the scenery made him forget about seeking shelter.

"At your age, I didn't have your bravery. When you reach my age, you won't just stop at where I am now. Brother, I, Wang He, sincerely admire one person, and that's you."

If they had wine, Wang He would truly have liked to drink three hundred cups with Tang Rao in this beautiful setting, until both were intoxicated.

"Enough of that nonsense. If it weren't for the Invisibility Cloak dropping when we fell, Hua Gu wouldn't have seen us. Everyone put on the Invisibility Cloak. I bet Lonely Wolf and the others will be here soon."

Tang Rao was more curious about who dared to jump down with Lonely Wolf than on Lonely Wolf himself.

"Boss, are you sure there's someone in there? This place looks eerie; do you think it might have ghosts or gods?"

Zhou Xun took out a Fire Stone, lit a torch, and illuminated the road ahead.

"How would I know?"

Lonely Wolf gave Zhou Xun a slap on the head, yet Zhou Xun felt nothing.

"Let's move ahead first; we'll see when we reach further. It's strange that when we fell, we didn't see those three people's shadows. Could it be that they've all been eaten by wolves?"

The follower muttered behind Lonely Wolf, but Lonely Wolf's face turned instantly grim upon hearing just the word 'wolf'.

"Wolf?"

"No, no, that was a slip of the tongue. I'm sorry for saying that."

The speaker slapped himself on the face in remorse.

"You weren't wrong; how could you be?"

As Lonely Wolf spoke, he gave the man a slap.

Under everybody's watch, the man's face started bleeding from his seven orifices after just one slap, horrifying everyone present.

Lonely Wolf had strength; his strikes never softened. Yet he had to consider others' feelings sometimes.

These thoughts were best kept to oneself. Lonely Wolf never liked anyone tarnishing the image of wolves. Anyone daring to do so was making an enemy out of him, and he would show no mercy.

The beaten person fell to the ground, no longer breathing. After that, everyone following Lonely Wolf became mute, not daring to utter an unnecessary word.

"Those three certainly aren't dead; I haven't smelled any blood since we came down. If all three were dead, who dealt with the bodies and cleaned up all the blood?"

The words didn't make sense; it didn't add up.

"Keep moving."

While Tang Rao and his group enjoyed the scenery ahead, Lonely Wolf and his group were only thinking of finding him, to teach the disobedient boy Tang Rao a small lesson.

"We've walked such a long distance, and those people still haven't caught up. Do you think they might not be coming?"

Li Ze was the least experienced of the three, and it was normal for him not to predict the opponent's next move.

Upon hearing this, Tang Rao and Old Crane both smiled.

"Who said they wouldn't come? Aren't they just behind?"

Before finding the immortal beast, Tang Rao had no intention of confronting so many people, especially someone like Lonely Wolf who could fight five at a time.

Li Ze turned around to look, and indeed, that was the case.

He tidied his collar and pulled the Invisibility Cloak a little higher, afraid any exposed skin would be a fatal weakness.

"If the enemy doesn't move, neither do we; let's see what they plan to do first."

It seemed Tang Rao had a more amusing plan brewing, though it was unknown how entertaining it would become.

"This was all a dam and still not many people seen. They're definitely dead. Should we stop looking for them?"

Sending a different person would be more reliable than those previously sent.

"Impossible, we must find them. My instinct tells me those three aren't simple people; such people shouldn't be kept around."

And they definitely shouldn't remain in the Ice and Snow World.

They needed the slots, needed to be pirates to steal more treasures. Only with invitation cards could they reach that place.

With only ten invitation cards, what would be left for us after Tang Rao and his group took some?

"Search every mountain, every forest. I want to see them alive or find their bodies. Otherwise, you'll be filling in with your own."

Lonely Wolf used his Divine Sense to search once; no one. He searched a second time, still no one. The third and fourth time, found many birds, but not a single hair from Tang Rao's group.

Hahaha.

Tang Rao's group was right next to Lonely Wolf, and he had no idea.

"Idiot."

Tang Rao's voice was soft, not loud enough for Lonely Wolf to hear.

"Ambush Lonely Wolf and Zhou Xun. Work together until they question their own existence."

Tang Rao transmitted the message, allocating their tasks.

The other two, upon hearing it, became excited.

Now it was clear why Tang Rao was such an interesting person.

With just an additional Invisibility Cloak, he dared to directly confront Lonely Wolf.

Tang Rao acted first, slapping Lonely Wolf on the head and quickly retreating.

Lonely Wolf felt a sting on his head, turned around, but saw no one behind him.

"Zhou Xun, did you hit me?"

Besides Zhou Xun being next to Lonely Wolf, who else could deliver such a quick hit?

"Boss, I wouldn't dare to hit you. I truly didn't hit you, Boss. Please calm down."

Lonely Wolf was in no mood to be calm at this point, slapping one after another, making Zhou Xun start doubting his own existence.

Tang Rao stood right beside Lonely Wolf. When Lonely Wolf was almost done, Tang Rao slapped him again, this time on the face, stripping Lonely Wolf of his dignity.

"You're hitting me again?"

No, Zhou Xun was still lying on the ground; there was no way Zhou Xun stood up, hit Lonely Wolf, and laid down again.

"Who, who's there?"

He really had wrongly accused Zhou Xun.

But Zhou Xun was merely a subordinate; even if he misjudged, Lonely Wolf wouldn't apologize to Zhou Xun.

Tang Rao didn't respond. He gave Li Ze and Old Crane a look, and the two immediately understood, grabbing the others and beating them up.

After finishing, they retreated quickly; they didn't even know who beat them.

"Who is it, human or ghost? Show yourself and let me see who's fooling around inside?"

The deep gorge exuded mystery everywhere; could they really have intruded into a powerful being's domain, disturbing their cultivation?

If that's the case, their sins would be grave.

"How bold of you to disturb my cultivation practice. Get out before it's too late."
