Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

He is arrogant, conceited, and self-righteous. He cannot see clearly what his own capabilities are, but he always wants to show off his skills and be in the spotlight.

People like this will be beaten to death by others sooner or later.

However, Ji Ming is not a pretentious or face-slapping person. He possesses two magical skills: sarcasm and intelligence reduction. He always wants to make a big fuss wherever he goes.

So he was still happy to watch a monkey show, and at the same time he made a bet with the boss in his heart, betting whether Xiao Deng would get angry now or wait until he was imprisoned on the chest of the next ferocious beast.

But no, none at all.

Although this kid had a serious expression on his face the whole time, and his every move made clanging noises, he looked like a person who was angry and treated everyone he met like a nail.

But he didn't say even a word. He said he was going to do it, so he did it to the end. He didn't care about anything else and just grabbed the beast's skin and flesh and stabbed it hard. Even when his arms were shaking, he still kept trying.

"Oh my god, how can you bear this?"

As a person who will be absolutely dedicated to his work as long as there are enough rewards, Ji Ming likes people like this who have perseverance and determination.

If this point can be met, he can give a quick death to even a bastard who goes against him all day long.

What's more, this grandson is at most stupid and a little bad, which can't be considered a heinous crime. At least Ji Ming can't find a way to kill him.

Besides, let’s not give the monk any face, but the Buddha’s. At least, give Brother Hu a chance to live... Well, let’s just have some fun!

That’s right, the one who is suffering at the hands of my grandson now is a tiger-like monster with extremely long hair and a level 25 tiger.

When the big cat was first captured by the thugs, it was quite ferocious, breathing heavily and even almost biting its grandson.

But now he has become completely obedient, lying on the ground with tears in his eyes, wishing he could kowtow to everyone present, just to give him some quick death.

——What the hell is Aihu TV? They are here to torture me to death, right?

So Ji Ming, who was always kind, walked over.

"Student, there is something wrong with your approach."

Maybe it was because his brain was shaking along with his overexerted hands, the first sentence his grandson said after raising his head was.

"what?"

Then he felt something push the weapon in his hand, and the obstruction of the tip of the knife was suddenly much lighter.

"Ok?"

"Don't be surprised. I should be the one asking you."

Ji Ming pointed the iron rod at the white snow next to his blade.

"Why did you cut into the bone? If the feel is not right, shouldn't you change direction immediately?"

"Also, tiger skin is hard to break, so why don't you just make a cut first, then put the blade in and slowly stab it open? Why do you have to keep chopping?"

"Not only did you chop and hack, but the landing points were also inconsistent, which resulted in this cut being made entirely by brute force. Of course you must be tired from doing this recklessly."

"Don't look at it. Come on, follow the grain of the meat, avoid the bones, and cut where the meat is soft."

"This is a meticulous job that is bound to take time, and the more you try to save time, the less time you can save."

"Don't just think about where it's closest, think about it!"

Following the guidance of Teacher Ji, the grandson with an empty head tried it hesitantly and found that...

Alas, it is true!

So Brother Hu closed his eyes with relief - OK, OK, I can finally die.

As the dagger pierced through the tiger's heart with a "swish", hundreds of experience points flew up and penetrated into the little grandson's body.

But he didn't even pull out the knife, he quickly saluted Ji Ming and said quickly.

"Thank you, Teacher Ji, you really helped me a lot!"

So this time it's Ji Ming's turn.

"what?"

All I can say is that as expected of a noble family that has existed for hundreds of years, they are indeed very wise in the art of survival.

Surprisingly, both the grandfather and grandson were proficient in this and knew that the best way to deal with a boomerang was to lower your head as soon as you saw the situation was not good.

Moreover, relying on the fact that he is still young and the fact that the other party is still a teacher after all, his grandson becomes more and more demanding and praises Ji Ming whenever he gets the chance.

But this trick really works. At least Ji Ming, who considers himself a man of order and goodness, will definitely not be able to find fault with others after they apologized so much.

But things have come to this point. Even if there is a turnaround, it will be of no use to my grandson.

Because it was almost noon, all the suitable resources were exhausted, and there were really only a few big monsters left for him to eat.

After walking around again, they found nothing and simply gave up searching the outskirts of Luoshen Mountain. Instead, they found a place to boil water.

"Everyone, take a break and don't waste your energy on such meaningless things."

But since it was specifically emphasized here that this was the outskirts of Luoshen Mountain, it meant that they still had monsters on Luoshen Mountain to continue to kill.

However, it is a more advanced zone after all, and low-level players like Sun Zi definitely cannot be brought there.

So after they got together for a farewell dinner, the grandson left regretfully under the escort of several thugs.

"Okay, Mr. Chosen One, let's go up the mountain too."

"Ah."

At this point, although some people made the same choice as them, there were indeed not many teams that had the courage and strength to go deeper.

As a result, after three hours in the mountains, they only saw two groups of humans.

But what’s strange is that it’s normal that there are fewer humans, so why is the number of monsters also decreasing so rapidly?

They searched several spots along the map, but seven out of ten were empty. Apart from the peculiar bloody stench of beast dens, not even a cub was found.

The remaining three caves might not necessarily contain the target creature, because they actually found a half-eaten corpse in one of the caves.

"This is the mountain god bull mentioned on the map. It must have been bitten to death by some carnivore. And judging from the burnt hair here, it must be a special creature that is born with the ability to use fire magic."

And this situation did not only happen to their family, because the expressions on the faces of other teams they met on the road were also not good.

They all sighed and looked extremely uncomfortable.

And I couldn't help but mutter.

"How about it, bro, how about harvesting this afternoon?"

"Not so good bro, we only caught two, and they're only in their thirties."

"Then I'm even more miserable. There's only one of them, and he's just a level 20-something."

……

"Brother, can you let me see your map? I think there is something wrong with mine."

"No need to look, bro. Everyone's map is the same. I didn't catch many monsters this afternoon."

"Hey, that's weird, why are all the good places empty?"

We didn't suspect the rangers of cheating. After all, we were all high-ranking officials in the kingdom. Wouldn't it be courting death to lie to them?

and so.

Even though it was due to the king's health, many people took advantage of their student relatives and wanted to sneak in to gain more experience, so everyone was a little excited before the action.

But the monsters on the mountain are not vegetarians either. There are countless beast king-level creatures that can dominate a mountain, so it is impossible for humans to scare away so many monsters.

At this point, something is definitely not right.

"I think we should contact the ranger as soon as possible. Something must have happened here."

Then they were surprised to find out—yes, where is the ranger?

Even if these days are open days, more people must have been sent down the mountain. It is impossible for such an important place to be completely empty, right?

There was definitely a problem now, and immediately a skilled man used magic to try to contact the rest stop.

But after trying several times, there was still no movement on the other side of the magic pipe.

“…Is it possible?”

"No, no, no, don't panic, it's just that my communication magic didn't connect."

Although the most terrifying incident did not happen, the fact that the magic signal was blocked was definitely a big terror.

Therefore, the mage's face was full of bitterness.

"What should we do, Your Excellency the Duke?"

"Calm down. Just because the signal is blocked doesn't mean this place has been isolated!"

The old duke glanced at the chosen one quietly and slowly frowned.

"Let's go out and see what the situation is, then come back and tell the others on the mountain to stop being greedy and retreat first!"

It is such a blessing to have someone stand up and make decisions calmly and decisively in times of crisis, so everyone naturally responded.

"understand!"

This was indeed a foolproof method, so the Duke, who had already gathered two groups of people, immediately led them into action.

But before the happiness lasted long, this excitement was brought to the bottom by reality.

"Your Excellency the Duke, this..."

Because after walking out of a forest, there were several human corpses lying around a pool of water illuminated by the sun.

Among them there is even a level 45 Earl wizard who is also very famous in the royal capital.

Omg.

Maybe they just got together a few days ago, or even yesterday, and talked about their likes and sorrows.

How come today, the other party suddenly felt his heart broken in the physical sense?

and.

A level 45 wizard has so many tricks up his sleeve, not to mention that this cautious guy is accompanied by several level 30+ warrior bodyguards.

In this situation, even if the ferocious beast that comes to kill them is extremely powerful and can crush a living person with three punches, it is extremely brave and is a natural killing machine.

At least, at least, when my buddy is dying, he can at least scream shamefully, right?

But no, nothing.

From just now until now, the forest has been extremely silent, as if it were dead.

"what!"

So the mage in their team was really scared, but there was nothing he could do, because he was also a count in his forties.

But Lord Xi was indeed a stubborn old man who had experienced many ups and downs. His old face remained calm and he just patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

This sentence is so useful. There is no other way. This is the sense of security brought by a level 73 warrior profession.

As they continued moving forward, they met other explorers in a canyon, but these explorers were all injured and in such a miserable state that they were about to collapse.

"Don't worry, I can handle this!"

Fortunately, there was a Holy Light Bishop in the team we met before. After a few soothing spells, even a lunatic could learn ABC.

"Don't be afraid, calm down, what happened to you?"

“I…I…wuwuwu…”

It was the value of the Sir that made the guy who even lost his sword kneel down on the ground and cry like a believer who saw a god.

But crying did not affect his explanation of the situation. With the help of other companions, they quickly understood the whole picture.

"You mean... there's a ghost on the mountain?"

This statement is ridiculous, because the so-called "ghosts" in this world do not actually exist. They are basically used to scare children before they sleep.

But according to the other party's description, it comes and goes without a trace, its shape is uncertain, it can pass through anything, and even take out the heart through the chest. This thing is really like a ghost!

...Well, of course, the ghosts in children's stories usually steal the toys of naughty children who don't sleep through the boxes, and Yangyue's methods are not that wild, like digging out the hearts of children.

So originally they would have died, but there was a paladin in the team who risked his life to buy them some time, so they were lucky enough to survive.

"That's it."

Upon hearing the news of the hero's death, the lord couldn't help but sigh.

But now was not the time to feel regretful. He did not dare to let everyone stay and hurriedly urged everyone to continue on their journey.

But their good luck eventually ran out, because not long after they ran, a dark shadow fell from the sky.

Someone in the team caught it subconsciously, but let out a shrill scream after seeing what it was.

Because this is a head, and it is the head of that paladin.

"Hee hee hee!"

And in his panic, a sharp laugh that seemed to echo throughout the sky also rang out.

Under normal circumstances, the court jester's laughter would only make them laugh.

but now.

"Ahhh, it comes again!"

Those unlucky guys who had just escaped death were so frightened that they screamed, and the human team was thrown into chaos in an instant.

But as we all know, chaos is the beginning of destruction.

So when they were busy competing in singing high notes, even the laughter in the sky did not stop, and a dark shadow appeared silently beside them, revealing the sharpness hidden under the robe.

However, before he could make a move, another shadow rushed to his side with a strong wind that seemed to be able to scratch a person's face.

What followed was a sharp shout, followed by a sandbag-like iron fist punching straight into the chest.

However, apart from the crisp sound of the sleeve hitting the arm, this punch did not bring anything, because the shadow quickly disappeared again.

"Chicken-hearted!"

The one who took action was naturally Lord Xi. Apart from Ji Ming, he was the only one in the crowd who could remain calm in the chaos and threw a punch after noticing something unusual.

Unfortunately, this shadow came and went, and even though his punches were as powerful as those from "Baki" or even "Kaitora", he couldn't do anything to it.

But this did not stop him from cursing as the earth-brown aura surged through his body.

"Where did this guy come from to block my way? Do you dare to come out and take my punch?"
