Chapter 62: Calling for Help

"Let's go."

Li Ying took the lead; everyone followed behind him and guarded his surroundings.

The mountain road near the giant peak was uneven and filled with holes and holes. Some of them were footprints that were actually left behind by giant monsters, while others were holes created by the Astral Pets fight. The holes were not filled with rainwater; the blood was thick and dark-colored which was filled with germs and gave off a foul smell.

Fan Ganglie and the others were experienced explorers, and still, they frowned due to the pungent smell.

Su Ping ordered the Little Skeleton to stand guard by his side and watch for any surprise attacks.

"It's…"

Not long after he left, Li Ying suddenly stopped. His gaze focused on the brownish-colored stone basin on the surface. There was a hand hanging there, and a black metal bracelet covered it.

Fan Ganglie's expression changed slightly. With a thought, he told the Many-eared Monkey to move forward and look at it. The Many-eared Monkey leaped a few times and arrived in front of a hand. It was a severed arm. Fan Ganglie held the arm taken by the Many-eared Monkey. After looking at it for a while, his expression turned ugly. “This belongs to someone from another battle team. This is the Black Cloud Gold Bracelet; someone who can afford a good bracer is definitely not weak.”.

Lin Mokong, Fan Yujing and the others also recognized the bracelet. Their expressions changed. The owner of the hand is most likely a high-ranking combat fighter or a rather wealthy sixth-ranked fighter. He really died there. It was clear that he had faced a frightening danger and had no chance of escaping.

Su Ping looked at the severed end of the arm. His heart was racing and he said, “Show me.”

Fan Ganglie was a little confused. But he still handed the severed arm to Su Ping.

"It looks like you can't recognize this bracelet." Lin Mokong sneered as he looked at Su Ping's seemingly pretentious observation towards this arm.

Su Ping picked it up and took a closer look at the disconnected spot. His pupils slightly shrank, but he returned to normal in an instant. He kept checking the hardness of the arm as if nothing had happened, as well as the bracelet that was completely undamaged. After flipping it for a moment, he returned it to Fan Ganglie.

"Did you find anything?" Fan Ganglie asked. He was quite concerned about Su Ping opinion. After all, Su Ping had noticed a latent danger before that no one else had discovered. Moreover, he had noticed how Su Ping seemed to have turned a blind eye to the harsh environment around him. It was a normal reaction for experienced settlers, but strange for a novice like Su Ping who had never made an expedition!

However, everyone has their own secrets. It would be uncomfortable to ask him about it, and he would probably be offended by it.

"No." Su Ping looked as calm as ever.

Lin Mokong chuckled.

Su Ping gave him a quick glance and suddenly raised his hand.

Pa!

A loud slap sounded.

Fan Ganglie, Fan Yujing, and Li Ying were all dumbfounded. Lin Mokong was the most astonished. He felt a burning pain on his face. That's just amazing!

He just got slapped! Being a highly ranked fighting pet warrior, his status was so high that he could captain a second-rate battle team like Fan Ganglie. However, he had just been slapped by a nameless boy ?!

After a moment of daze, he suddenly regained his senses. His eyes turned red as he quickly drew his sword. "Brat, I'll kill you!"

Fan Ganglie and the other two reacted and hurriedly held onto his hand. Fan Ganglie hastily coaxed, “Sister Lin, Brother Lin, let's talk about it. It's not good to fight now, it's too dangerous here. I'm afraid everyone will die if we draw attention to our inner quarrel!”

He had tried his best to draw his sword, but his hand was held back by Fan Ganglie; for a moment he could not pull it out. This shocked him again; he had not expected Fan Ganglie to be so powerful. They were both ranked seventh, but Fan Ganglie was stronger than him!

Li Ying and Fan Yujing were also frightened. They dispersed the fight and blocked Su Ping and Lin Mokong to prevent them from fighting.

“Kakak... Brother Su, let's talk about everything. Why did you hit him?” Fan Yujing looked at Su Ping, who had a calm expression. He's a little worried. The other party was an advanced fighting pet warrior, not someone he could hurt.

"That's right!" Li Ying was also frightened. He had not expected the gentle and disciple-like Su Ping to be so grumpy. He attacked people on a whim, and he had even slapped a high-ranked fighting pet fighter. Even they must do their best to be in His grace.

"He asked for it," Su Ping said calmly. Despite the dangerous environment and internal strife it is not good to survive, as plots and schemes will eventually emerge, the other party was obviously very prejudiced against him and would take the first chance to deceive him in an instant. Since that was the case, there was no need to step lightly.

Furthermore, he knew that he would not be able to fight even if he made a move; fan Ganglie and his friends would definitely pull him back. If he took a step back, he would not be afraid even if they were to fight. It was good to know that he could kill this person in case something bad happened.

The easiest way is to kill someone who can threaten him as soon as possible.

“Eh.” Fan Yujing and Li Ying were both shocked to hear Su Ping words. Lin Mokong was the one who ridiculed them before, but he dared to hit her just because of that. He's too brave. Wasn't he afraid of building a deadly grudge?

"You!!" Lin Mokong's blood vessels will explode. He tried to pull out the sword with all his might, but Fan Ganglie's hand was like a pair of steel tongs holding him back.

“Brother Lin, this is Brother Su's fault. I'll apologize on his behalf and complete the mission first, okay? ” Fan Ganglie coax.

Lin Mokong glared at him furiously. He gritted his teeth. He knew that Fan Ganglie would not let him fight with Su Ping. Otherwise, they would all die if they attracted monsters.

Perhaps the other party had predicted this and dared to attack him. In other words, he had received a slap without pay!

“Damn it, you all deserve to die. Even seeing you sliced and diced will not quell my anger!!”  Lin Mokong roared in his heart, filled with violence. His hand tightly gripped the handle of the knife; he struggled and held on for a while before he slowly let go.

He glanced at Su Ping coldly and turned around. “I'll remember this. I will take revenge when we return to headquarters!” He deliberately said those words, to give Su Ping a false impression that he would not do anything during the operation.

Fan Ganglie let out a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Mokong holding back. He said to Su Ping, “Brother Su, don't be rash. I won't help you anymore.”

Su Ping smiled after seeing his serious expression. "Let's go."

Su Ping's indifferent attitude made Fan Ganglie dizzy. He had no choice but to say, “Let's go. We must complete the mission as soon as possible and return to headquarters as soon as possible!”

Li Ying and Fan Yujing looked at each other and sighed in relief. Li Ying was still leading. Not long after, they saw several corpses dismembered on the ground. They belong to another explorer.

By looking at the scattered limbs, they could estimate that three or four people had died. Lying there were even some heads filled with tiny worms that made them unrecognizable.

"Be careful."

The corpses made Fan Ganglie and his comrades uneasy. They're all very alert.

Holy hooch!

Suddenly, a colorful smoke signal flew out from the dense forest ahead.

"This is a danger signal!" Fan Ganglie's expression changed when she saw this. He immediately moved and said, "Quick!".
