Chapter 2180: Life and Death (1)
Translator : MoonWhisperer, frozenfire Editor : Skyrise, Pyr, TWIP
The idiom about how three women were enough for a drama needed no mention here. These two women were enough to perform an entire play on their own 1.
After revealing her true strength, Su Luo had originally planned to take a seat back and enjoy the show. However, it was no longer possible for her to do so anymore. Not only that, she had now been designated the team’s main firepower. Who said that the most capable ones had to do the most work?
“Senior Brother Luo Qing. The Demonic Tarantulas on the left side—draw 3 of them away!”
“Tian Mang, don’t randomly wander about everywhere and pay attention.”
“Xu Yin, go into stealth mode and go over there. Oh, and take care of 2 of the Demonic Tarantulas on the left. Finish them up within 3 minutes.”
“Also, Li Man Man, why the hell are you pursuing something wasteful as aesthetic appeal when you should be condensing your blade? You can’t even save your own life like that.”
After revealing her true strength, Su Luo had gradually turned into a field commander and turned into the group’s core. Even Senior Brother Luo Qing was pushed to take a step back in the leadership position.
However, Su Luo indeed possessed the skills for the role. Under her command, the Xiao Luo team lunged towards the demonic beasts with double the efficiency, killing them so fast that everyone’s waist pouches had bulged out from the loot.
Regarding the distribution of points, Su Luo naturally took her share first.
Li Man Man accidentally swept a look across Su Luo’s diamond token. Upon doing so, her legs instantly turned soft as shock flashed past her eyes.
Every single Demonic Tarantula in this group only had 3000 points, yet a value of 15000 was floating above Su Luo’s diamond token!
After seeing this, what else was there that Li Man Man did not understand?
She took a step back, and another, before finally positioning herself beside deputy leader Luo Qing. Her blank eyes continued to remain on Su Luo, yet her words were said to the team leader: “That diamond token… is it for real…?”
An absent-minded look had appeared on her face like she was dreaming.
Too inconceivable!
Su Luo, the person that Li Man Man had held in disdain before, was not only at the seventh star of the Commander rank—which exceeded everyone within the squadron—but she also had a genuine diamond token!!
Senior Brother Luo Qing choked on the water he had just taken a sip of: “Cough cough…what did you say?”
Grabbing hold of the deputy leader Luo Qing’s sleeve, Li Man Man’s face was overwhelmed with emotions as she exclaimed: “It’s real! Her token is real! She really has 5 times the score!”
From her earlier discussion with Tian Mang, she had concluded that Su Luo was just making things more complicated with extra things. Who would have known that she had earned more than the entire squadron combined just with a simple and easy capture of one Demonic Tarantula’s brain! One could really die from anger by comparing oneself to someone else!
Senior Brother Luo Qing looked speechlessly at Su Luo. Finally, with a sigh, he gave Li Man Man’s shoulder a pat: “She’s a person both Senior brother Luo and the City Lord treats favorably. You better not target her in the future, okay?”
Li Man Man snorted twice in response: “But I still hate her! Senior brother Luo’s innocence still rests on her shoulders!”
After this revelation, despite not showing any warmth towards Su Luo, Li Man Man didn’t continue ridiculing the former, allowing an unprecedented harmony to form within the squadron.
Five days later, they’d finally arrived at their destination.
Right before them was a perfectly straight cliff, where the Poisonous Serpent Scorpion Grass grew from.
Nevertheless, Su Luo didn’t rush up impulsively; every spirit grass had a demonic beast guardian.
At the moment, a Thousand-eyed Condor was flying overhead, marking its territory. Like a tiger watching its prey, the Thousand-eyed Condor shot a hostile glare towards this group of humans that had just arrived.
“How about I go up?” Senior Brother Luo Qing asked after seeing Su Luo’s lack of movement.
However, a deep crease appeared on Su Luo’s forehead as she shook her head slowly: “It’s still not the time yet.”
“Why? That condor isn’t that formidable right? Senior Brother Luo Qing should be able to deal with it,” Li Man Man said complacently.
However, Su Luo proceeded to shake her head again: “There are others here. We won’t be able to survive a pincer attack.”
“Others?” Li Man Man’s eyes were filled with doubt, “Where?”
Just when Su Luo finished her reply, a bout of crazed laughter instantly rang out from the undergrowth before them.
“Hahaha, not bad, you wretched girl! You even managed to see through this.”
As those words rang out, a group of 4 people appeared before Su Luo.
Because this place rarely frequented people year-round, wild grass grew haphazardly across the entire area to heights that towered even people. Therefore, it was no wonder why those people were able to conceal themselves without being discovered by Luo Qing.
Having just entered Upstream Mountain, the number of people that Su Luo had bump across with did not exceed 10. However, she had exchanged greetings with 3 out of the 4 people that had just appeared before.
“Eh? Aren’t those 3 people part of the group of men that follows Fairy Wu You around all day?” Li Man Man pointed towards the group of people that appeared, “That’s Yan Xiao. Although he’s ranked at only 95th place on the Dragon List, Fairy Wu You still dotes on him for his good looks.”
“The two dark-skinned people are called Mo Ze and Mo Li. They’re twins and are ranked 87th and 88th on the Dragon List.”
“The strongest one among them is the one dressed in a blue embroidered robe and crown band, Lan Yingyan, and he’s ranked 75th on the Dragon List!”
Su Luo did not have any idea what being the 75th rank on the Dragon List meant, resulting in her asking: “What about you guys? What ranks are you guys on Dragon List?”
Li Man Man froze for an instant, before pointing towards Senior Brother Luo Qing: “Squadron leader’s the strongest among us, but his ranking on the Dragon List is…only 86th…”
Su Luo: “…”
“Then, how do I compare to Lan Yingyan?” asked Su Luo.
Li Man Man shot a silent look at her before finally deciding to say the truth: “Don’t look down on the 75th-ranked person on the Dragon List! Lan Yingyan has already reached the four-star Saint Rank. Do you think you can defeat him?”
After reaching the Saint Rank, there was a considerable difference between each star ranking.
Four-star Saint Rank… The difference was too great. Su Luo shook her head. As of now, she didn’t have the confidence to defeat him.
While they were talking, four people had already arrived pridefully in front of Su Luo and the others.
“What are you people doing here?” Li Man Man asked after stealing her face.
“Why did we appear here? Of course, we’re waiting for you guys.” Yan Xiao replied with an ambiguous upward curl in the corner of his mouth. Sending a ridiculing look at Su Luo, “Aren’t you guys too weak? We’ve been waiting here for two days already, all just for you guys.”
No matter how stupid she might be, Li Man Man was able to see through the other party’s intention right away.
“What the hell do you guys want?!” Li Man Man shouted back as she positioned herself right in front of Su Luo.
Yan Xiao extended a slender and jadelike finger to push Li Man Man away while replying with a sneer: “None of your business. Move aside and stay there.”
“No!” Li Man Man raised her chest and replied.
“Are you looking to die?” Yan Xiao shot a vicious glare at Li Man Man. “Move aside and stay there, and we’ll spare your lives on the account of Senior Brother Luo!”
“What about her?” Li Man Man pointed towards Su Luo.
“Her? Haha! She still dares to live after disrespecting Fairy Wu You? In your dreams!” Yan Xiao spitted on the ground.
“Did Fairy Wu You send you guys?” Crossing her arms, an indifferent smile appeared on Su Luo’s face as she shot a ridiculing sidelong glance back at them.
