Chapter 115 Gray and White Schemes

At this moment, Xu Ning felt that she had a big problem in her arms.

Judging from the current situation, this kitten, which is suspected to be a monster from the illusory realm, doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards me.

But no one can guarantee that this guy won't suddenly go berserk and devour himself.

Even though he was invincible among mortal warriors, he was no match for this being that resembled a Void Realm demon beast.

The human and the kitten just stared at each other like that.

"It would be best to get rid of it..."

Xu Ning steeled herself and prepared to give it a try.

He carefully took the kitten out of his arms with both hands.

Then, I gently placed it on the ground.

The kitten did not resist during this process.

Xu Ning felt relieved and turned to move away to shake him off.

But after taking only two steps, Xu Ning felt a weight on his shoulder again.

After another round of back and forth, Xu Ning was basically certain that the kitten had become attached to him.

"You...you want to come with me?"

Xu Ning tilted her head slightly and tried to communicate with the kitten.

Generally speaking, the intelligence of the monsters in the Void Realm is almost comparable to that of humans.

But this kitten, I don't know if it's naturally small or if it's only recently born.

If it's the latter, it has never been in contact with humans, so it certainly wouldn't be able to understand its own language.

"Aww."

The kitten made a sound from its throat, but it wasn't a meow.

After letting out a howl, it rubbed against Xu Ning's ear again, its furry face constantly nuzzling against him.

"It seems like you understand what I mean..."

Seeing this, Xu Ning felt a little clearer-headed.

Being able to communicate is a good thing.

"Then I'll take you away."

Xu Ning made a firm decision.

In fact, he didn't have much courage to disobey this beast that was suspected to be in the Void Realm.

So Xu Ning put it back into his arms and hurried toward the temporary camp.

……

Several days have passed.

Inside the encampment.

On this day, after the entire hunting team had been busy all day, it got dark.

The hunting team members, all exhausted and even injured, rested in the camp.

However, despite being physically exhausted, everyone was in good spirits.

Compared to Feng Haoqi's hunting team, their side had a clear advantage in both the quantity and quality of live monsters captured.

Around the campfire in the camp, the capture team members sat in twos and threes, roasting meat on a wooden rack.

Xu Ning and Wei San Niang sat facing each other, with a juicy deer leg roasting on a wooden rack between them.

Although they were both nominally the leaders of the hunting teams, Wei San Niang handled most of the affairs on her own.

"Team Leader Xu, I really envy you. You are so young, yet you have such outstanding talent. You may even become a disciple of the Yuelan Sect in the future."

Wei San Niang tore off a piece of meat and handed it to Xu Ning: "As for us, our talents have basically reached their limit. Even if we get more resources, whether we can go further depends on luck."

In the past few days, Xu Ning's success rate in capturing high-level mortal realm demonic beasts has been 100%.

As long as a high-level mortal beast can be discovered, Xu Ning will surely be able to capture it.

Capturing a live monster is much more difficult than killing it directly.

"Everyone has their own circumstances in life." Xu Ning's mouth was full of oil. "Perhaps when the Third Miss successfully ascends to the position of family head, she will bestow upon you the Void Realm Secret Manual, and you will soon be able to master it and become a Void Realm Martial Master."

Wei San Niang smiled.

You can only listen to what I say.

In fact, Wei San Niang had long since given up any pursuit of martial arts.

Everything she's doing now is largely for the sake of her family.

Amidst sporadic conversation, the two devoured a large deer leg.

There were still some scraps left, which Wei Sanniang chopped up, then wrapped them up with a fallen leaf and handed them to Xu Ning.

"Take this for your kittens."

Wei San Niang knew a few days ago that Xu Ning had brought back a kitten to the camp.

Thank you.

Xu Ning hesitated for a moment, then accepted it.

After that, Xu Ning returned to his tent.

Currently, in the hunting team's camp, only Xu Ning and Wei San Niang have their own independent tents.

Xu Ning's independent tent is very spacious, tall and wide, comparable to a small room.

As soon as Xu Ning crawled inside, she saw the kitten curled up in her blankets.

"gray."

Xu Ning called out.

Over the past few days, Xu Ning and the kitten have become quite familiar with each other.

Xu Ning discovered that the little guy had no intention of hurting him. Even if he accidentally stepped on it, it would just lick its fur and wouldn't get angry.

As their relationship grew closer, Xu Ning named it Gray.

This basically matches the color of its fur.

Seeing Xu Ning come in, Hui Bai looked up at Xu Ning, then got out of bed and rubbed against Xu Ning's feet.

"Want some?"

Xu Ning asked a question, as was his custom.

Although he knew that Gray would most likely ignore him.

As Xu Ning had predicted, Gray White showed no interest in the roasted meat.

After coming to Xu Ning's side, Grey never took the initiative to bite the food. It would only go out briefly every two days and then stay quietly by his side when it came back.

Xu Ning guessed that it must have been taking advantage of this time to go out and hunt.

After spending the past few days together, Xu Ning has gotten used to the increased grayness around her.

Xu Ning even felt a hint of joy.

Although he couldn't make Grey do things according to his will right now, having a Void Realm demon beast with goodwill towards him was definitely a good thing.

……

late at night.

Among Feng Haoqi's hunting teams.

Inside a large tent, the two men talked under a lamp.

"What should we do? If this continues, by the end of the month, we'll definitely be no match for the Third Miss's people!"

The man speaking was a burly man with a thick beard, and he looked very worried.

Opposite him was a middle-aged man with an effeminate appearance.

Both of them were Feng Haoqi's capable assistants and were also martial artists at the Spiritual Awakening Realm.

"really……"

The effeminate man's face was also filled with worry: "They are indeed very lucky to have encountered so many high-level mortal realm demonic beasts, and their capture rate is so high..."

"What should we do? If we lose, even if the Fourth Young Master becomes the head of the family in the future, we probably won't get any benefits. We might even be labeled as incompetent."

"That's what the bearded man said."

"We need to think of a way..."

The effeminate man looked thoughtful.

"I heard that the reason the other side was able to capture so many high-level mortal realm demonic beasts is because they have a leader named Xu Ning who is very skilled at dealing with demonic beasts, and Wei Sanniang, that woman is also quite capable. Perhaps..."

A fierce glint appeared in the bearded man's eyes.

"An unrealistic idea."

The effeminate man scoffed at the bearded giant: "The most straightforward point is, with our combined strength, how could we possibly be 100% confident in taking them down?"

"Furthermore, if we really do that, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble. This is something that even Patriarch Feng is concerned about. If we use such underhanded methods, we will definitely suffer the consequences afterwards."

The effeminate man's words left the bearded giant speechless.

"Then... what do we do? Just sit here and wait to die?"

The burly man asked anxiously.

The effeminate man paused for a moment, then a sinister look appeared on his face.

"Of course we can't just sit here and wait to die," the effeminate man said. "Although we can't take direct action, we can use someone else to do the dirty work."

"Using someone else to do the dirty work?"

The bearded man was taken aback.

"A few days ago, when I went deeper into the mountains, I discovered a half-void realm demon beast that was about to give birth."

The effeminate man said.

"A half-realm demonic beast?"

The bearded man raised an eyebrow.

The so-called semi-void realm demon beasts are mortal realm demon beasts that have not yet completely transformed into the void realm.

Monsters and human warriors are different.

Among human martial artists, there is no concept of the Half-Void Realm.

When a mortal martial artist breaks through to the illusory realm, it is essentially breaking through the barrier of a martial arts system.

It's either a breakthrough or a failure; this barrier is like a membrane.

The barrier between a mortal demon beast transforming into a virtual demon beast is more like a quagmire.

Some of the mortal realm demon beasts have already stepped into the swamp, but they are still unable to climb out of it. Those stuck in the swamp between the mortal realm and the virtual realm are the semi-virtual realm demon beasts.

The destructive power of a semi-void realm demon beast is unmatched by a spiritual realm martial artist.

"All we need to do is secretly bribe their explorers to lure Xu Ning and Wei Sanniang to the territory of that half-void realm demon beast."

"A pregnant monster is extremely brutal towards any outsider who intrudes into its territory."

The effeminate man smiled: "With its power, eliminating Xu Ning and Wei Sanniang would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?"

……

The next day.

Most of the hunting party had already gone out.

Xu Ning and Wei San Niang are still staying in the camp.

Aside from occasionally venturing into the deep mountains to conduct their own searches, the two of them spent most of their time waiting for feedback from the search team.

"Team Leader Wei, Team Leader Xu!"

Just then, a member of the hunting team arrived: "The search party has sent word that they've found a wounded peak-stage mortal realm demon beast!"

"Are you sure?"

Wei San Niang and Xu Ning asked at the same time.

It is too difficult to capture a peak-level mortal beast.

If it is an injured peak-level mortal beast, then it will be much easier.

If this is true, it would be a rare and excellent opportunity.

Their hunting team was already in the lead, and if they could catch a live peak-level mortal beast, they could even declare victory ahead of time.

"It's confirmed!"

The hunting team member was very excited: "The location of that peak mortal realm demon beast is only five miles south and north of where we captured our first high-level mortal realm demon beast!"

"Team Leader Xu..."

Wei Sanniang looked at Xu Ning: "This is a rare opportunity. Let's go together and try to capture this peak mortal realm demon beast."

"it is good."

Upon seeing this, Xu Ning immediately agreed.

However, Xu Ning did not set off immediately, but returned to the tent first to comfort Gray White.

Xu Ning didn't take Gray White with him, fearing that if Gray White saw that peak mortal realm demon beast again, it would just eat it.

If that's the case, then there will be a lot of trouble.

Xu Ning and Wei San Niang went to the location of the monster, following the information provided by the messenger.

It was a valley between mountains. When Xu Ning and Wei San Niang arrived, members of the hunting team were already waiting on the hillside.

"Who discovered this injured peak-level mortal realm demon beast?"

Wei San Niang asked several members of the hunting team.

"It was Wu Liu who discovered it."

One member of the hunting team said, "He said that he encountered a monster covered in scales halfway up the mountain. The monster had a powerful aura and was most likely at the peak of the mortal realm."

"Wu Liu thought he was going to die, but to his surprise, the peak mortal realm demon beast let him go and went down to the valley below. It was at this moment that Wu Liu discovered that the peak mortal realm demon beast was actually injured."

Wu Liu quickly told us the news, instructing us to stay here and then go back to report.

Wei San Niang and Xu Ning did not have much doubt about this explanation.

"What about Wu and the other six?"

Wei San Niang asked.

"He went back to report the news, but he probably hasn't returned yet."

Wei San Niang nodded.

She and Xu Ning were indeed much faster; they arrived before the messenger even returned.

"Team Leader Xu, let's go down and take a look."

Wei San Niang was eager to try.

"it is good."

Xu Ning was quite cooperative.

The two followed the hillside to the valley.

The valley here is damp and covered in mud.

"Look at these footprints."

Wei San Niang discovered a huge footprint in the mud.

"Then Wu Liu's information should be correct... Following these footprints, we should be able to find the injured monster."

Wei San Niang seemed quite anxious.

She walked ahead, and together with Xu Ning, they followed the footprints to find the monster.

"Um?"

However, after taking a few steps, Xu Ning suddenly stopped.

Wei San Niang noticed Xu Ning's unusual behavior: "What's wrong?"

"Team Leader Wei..."

Xu Ning glanced back and said, "Someone's here."

"Is anyone there?"

Wei San Niang was taken aback at first, then followed Xu Ning's gaze.

Xu Ning could see a dense patch of vines covering the rock formation behind it.

"Let's go take a look!"

Xu Ning moved swiftly, stepping on the Cloud-Stepping Waves to rush over.

Seeing this, Wei San Niang, though not understanding why, still set off to catch up.

He sensed that there was someone behind those vines!

"Oh no! He's spotted us!"

Xu Ning's guess was correct; behind the vines were the burly man with the beard and the effeminate man.

The two of them hid here to confirm whether Xu Ning and Wei San Niang would willingly walk into the tiger's den and be torn to pieces by the pregnant half-void realm demon beast.

However, just when everything was proceeding as they expected, Xu Ning discovered their whereabouts.

All plans have completely fallen through at this moment.

"Get out of here! Don't fight him!"

The effeminate man warned, "If we get bogged down, this will inevitably be exposed, and then we'll both be in trouble."

"Know!"

Although the bearded man felt it was a pity, he still listened to the effeminate man's words, and the two of them fled quickly up the hillside.

"Trying to leave?"

Xu Ning drew the short sword from behind him and hurled it at the two of them in an instant.

The short knife, imbued with tearing force, swiftly severed the hamstrings of the fleeing bearded man.

He staggered, screamed, and tumbled to the ground.

Seeing this, the effeminate man had no choice but to stop and start dragging the bearded giant.

In that brief moment, Xu Ning and Wei San Niang caught up in pursuit.

"It's you guys!"

At this moment, Wei San Niang recognized the two of them.

Thank you to Brother Bloody Little Knife, Brother Zhao Yun's Guard, Brother Annr, and Brother Fan Nanchuan for the generous donations!
