Chapter 426 - A Cloudy Night

Chapter 426 A Cloudy Night

Standing on the top of the mountain, Chu Xun captured several extremely powerful auras with his divine sense. The auras should come from the experts of various clans.

Chu Xun moved forward like a ghost in the dark night.

He found out that most of the alien races here were in the shape of beasts, and only a small number of them were in the shapes of humans.

Those who were in the shapes of humans were all experts from various clans.

Chu Xun encountered a patrol team from the Macro-primate Race, and he chose to avoid them.

In the following time, he encountered several patrol teams, but they were all in the shape of beasts. It was difficult for Chu Xun to sneak in.

He wanted to break in directly, but a sense of uneasiness lingered in his heart and stopped him. He decided to check out the situation first.

While he was pondering, a patrol team led by a human-shaped weasel came into his sight. The team members were all frightening big yellow weasels.

“Those peacocks look so delicious.” The leading weasel smacked his lips, drooling over the peacocks.

“Tenth Elder, please don’t say it again. I’m starving.” A weasel said, and his eyes as big as green beans began to emit green light.

“Damn it. Look at you, a piece of good-for-nothing.” The leading weasel scolded with a smile.

“Ten Elder, aren’t you the same?” The other weasel said obsequiously. “Just now, when I greeted them, I saw you swallowing saliva.”

“You are the only one with sharp eyes.” The Tenth Elder stroked the three whiskers on his chin as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. “Just now, I smelled the scent of their blood and qi. It really was delicious.”

“Tenth Elder, we’ve been drooling over them for a long time. I’m wondering if we would have a chance to taste the peacock meat.”

Tenth Elder’s eyes glowed with green light as he replied, “Don’t worry. There will be a chance.”

“When you have the meat, please don’t forget to reward us with a mouthful of soup.”

“You can rest assured that you’ll have a share of it.” Tenth Elder swallowed his saliva. “You guys go first. I have to pee.”

While other weasels continued to patrol, Tenth Elder walked to the back of a tree to pee.

He was relaxed when peeing, unaware of the coming danger.

A ghost-like figure appeared behind him. As Tenth Elder was an eighth-grade Beast Lord with extraordinary cultivation, he noticed someone behind him and suddenly turned his head.

However, a tender hand quickly clutched his throat. He wanted to shout, but his neck was broken with a cracking sound.

Tenth Elder’s neck tilted, and he died with a grievance. His eyes were wide open as if he were saying that he was killed as easily as he killed chickens.

Chu Xun looked at the dead Tenth Elder, the muscles on his face slowly wriggled, and his bones shrank as well. He became a few centimeters shorter and much thinner than before.

It didn’t take him long to change his appearance into that of Tenth Elder.

“Something is missed.”

The beard.

Though he felt disgusted, he still pulled off Tenth Elder’s beard and attached it to his chin.

Then, he kicked Tenth Elder down from the top of the mountain.

He believed that the corpse would be eaten up by poisonous insects and fierce beasts on the mountain before dawn.

Chu Xun flashed out from behind the tree, looked at the patrol team that had gone far away, and imitated the way Tenth Elder spoke.

“You bastards, wait for me.”

The patrol team stopped. Chu Xun restrained his aura and then strode forward to catch up with them.

“Tenth Elder, what took you so long? Did you go to peek at those peacocks?” A weasel asked.

They had no idea that the current Tenth Elder in front of them was someone else.

“Come to think of it, the meat of those peacocks is so delicious that I can’t wait to have a bit.” Chu Xun squinted and swallowed his saliva, and his eyes emitted green light, just like what Tenth Elder would do.

He imitated so well.

“Don’t even think about it, Tenth Elder. We want to taste it as well, and I can barely stop drooling. But the peacocks and we are allies now. Mr. Wu’s order says that no internal strife is allowed.”

“Mr. Wu?”

Chu Xun’s eyes flickered. He didn’t know who Mr. Wu was but his instinct told him that this person was not simple.

From the weasel’s expression, he could tell that the weasel was really afraid of Mr. Wu.

Chu Xun couldn’t utter his doubt; he could only investigate it in secret.

“If it weren’t for Mr. Wu, I would have killed those fat peacocks a long time ago,” Chu Xun said disdainfully.

“Be more patient, Tenth Elder. After we kill Chu Xun the Devil, Mr. Wu will not interfere with our affairs any more. At that time, we must kill a few peacocks to have a taste.”

While they were talking, a group of peacocks happened to pass by.

Chu Xun was amused when he saw those weasels secretly swallowing their saliva.

The weasels loved to eat chickens. It seemed that the avian had a special appeal to them.

Chu Xun’s eyes glinted slightly, and a strange smile secretly played around his mouth corner.

He stepped forward and cleared his throat.

“Fellow Taoists from the Peacock race, you’ve worked really hard during the night patrol.”

The leader of the Peacock Race’s patrol team was also in human shape. She was a very beautiful woman, a seventh-grade Avian Lord.

As all the Peacocks were good-looking, they didn’t like the ugly weasels at all.

The Peacocks were very proud and never liked the Mustelid race. They thought they were very filthy.

The Peacock patrol team didn’t even look at the weasels; they kept walking and passed by them, head high.

“Bah, how arrogant! I’ll make you my food sooner or later.” A yellow weasel was indignant.

“They’re just a group of walking food. How dare they ignore me? I must teach them a lesson, or I can’t get over it.” Chu Xun pretended to be angry, and his beard stood in anger.

“Don’t be angry, Tenth Elder. After we eliminate Chu Xun the Devil, I’ll personally kill those peakcocks and roast them for you.” A weasel expressed its loyalty.

“Why do we have to wait until Chu Xun the Devil is dead?” Chu Xun’s eyes were shining with green light. “Now, we have such a good opportunity right in front of us.”

“No, we can’t, Tenth Elder. If Mr. Wu knows it...”

“Well, we’ll keep it from him.” Chu Xun sneered. “It’s a dark and windy night, the best cover-up for a murder. Besides, there are other races on the mountain as well, so no one will know it is us who did it.”

“But what if Mr. Wu finds out about it?”

“What are you afraid of? No one will know except us.” Chu Xun glared at the Peacock patrol team with his face full of anger. “These damn birds always look down on us. I’ve had enough of it.”

“Don’t you want to have a taste of Peacock meat? These meats contain a lot of essence and are good for our cultivation.” Chu Xun continued to egg them on.

As expected, the weasels swallowed their saliva more frequently.

“Don’t worry. If something unexpected really happens, I’ll take full responsibility on my own,” Chu Xun said.

“Okay. I’ll do as you say, Tenth Elder.”

“I’ve been pissed off by these damn birds for a long time.”

“Tenth Elder, what do you think we should do now? We’ll do as you say.”

Chu Xun laughed inwardly. He signaled them to gather around him to work out a plan.

The weasels were cunning in nature, and they were all masters of cheating and stealing. As they had been drooling over the Peacocks for a long time, they competed with each other to give their suggestions.

“Okay, let’s do it.” Chu Xun clapped his hands and ordered a weasel. “We will be lying in ambush behind that strange stones over there, and you should go and draw them here.”

Underworld Mountain was extremely large, and at the edge of it, there was a stone forest full of strange rocks.

“Remember, we must kill them with one strike,” Chu Xun said.

They all went to hide behind the rocks, waiting for the Peacocks to be drawn there.

The weasels were indeed all good at cheating and stealing. A short while later, the weasel that left with Chu Xun’s order rushed back with the Peacock patrol team.

“Where is it?” the leading Peacock asked.

The weasel’s eyes rolled quickly as it replied, “We saw the figure here just now. Our Tenth Elder has already led others into the stone forest to chase it. Follow me.”

As soon as the weasel finished speaking, it ran into the stone forest.

The leading Peacock was stunned. She didn’t have time to think too much about it and hurriedly followed the weasel into the stone forest with her subordinates.

However, when they entered the stone forest, the weasel was nowhere to see.

Before they could figure out the situation, they heard a voice saying, “Attack.”

Swoosh swoosh...!

Several figures rushed out from behind the rocks like lightning.

These weasels were all three meters long, with two fangs that were dozens of centimeters long. Their fangs were sharper even than blades, and they were very fast and well prepared.

Before the Peacock patrol team could react, their throats had been bitten through by these weasels, and they couldn’t even make a sound.

Blood sprayed out from the bites. The Peacocks struggled on their last breaths, but the weasels didn’t loosen their bites at all.

“You...” The leading Peacock was so shocked that her face turned pale. She flew into a rage and raised her head, ready to cry out.

However, Chu Xun jumped down from a rock and killed her with one palm. The leading Peacock returned to its original form, a giant peacock that was more than ten meters long.

Gradually, the struggle of the other Peacocks became less fierce. Their throats were bitten off and blood flowed all over the ground. It was impossible for them to survive.

These weasels were born to be the natural nemesis of birds, and they had always been very accurate with their attacks.

The weasels didn’t loosen their grip until the Peacocks all died. Some of them eagerly licked the blood of the Peacocks that fell on the ground.

Chu Xun felt sick when he saw this.

“These Peacocks used to be so arrogant, but in fact, they’re as weak as chickens. They’re no match for us,” said a weasel.

“They were just bluffing,” Chu Xun said.

However, these weasels didn’t know that when they started attacking, Chu Xun secretly suppressed the cultivation of these Peacocks with a magic signet.

Except for the leading female Peacock, the other Peacocks were at a low level of the Human King Realm. Chu Xun could make their souls tremble by slightly releasing his aura.

“Tenth Elder, can we start enjoying our food now?” A weasel asked, its fangs stained with blood, saliva flowing out from its mouth.

Chu Xun knew that the weasels usually ate birds directly without cooking them.

“Leave this one to me.” Chu Xun pointed to the Peacock he killed and said, “You can have the rest of them.”

On hearing this, these weasels couldn’t wait to bite the Peacocks that they had hunted.

“Wait,” Chu Xun said.

The weasels stopped and looked at Chu Xun in confusion.

“Just eat one of them and keep the rest in the Storage Ring. We can enjoy them slowly or share them with other bros. If you leave your bites on every Peacock, no one will be willing to eat the leftovers.”

“You’re right, Tenth Elder. We must share them with other brothers and enjoy them one by one.”

As soon as they finished speaking, they pounced on a peacock at the same time.

In an instant, the Peacock’s feathers were sent flying in the air, its blood flew on the ground, and its intestines scattered, accompanied by the sound of bones being chewed.

Chu Xun almost threw up.

“Tenth Elder, why aren’t you eating?” A weasel turned its head and asked, with a piece of intestines in its mouth.

Chu Xun suppressed his disgust and said proudly, “I’m the noble Tenth Elder of the Mustelid race. How can I be as boorish as you? I’ll roast them as a noble elder.”

“You’re always well-mannered, Tenth Elder. We admire you.”

“But Tenth Elder, won’t we be discovered if we set a fire here?”

Chu Xun replied, “We’re in a stone forest, so the fire can’t spread. The smoke is as dark as the night. Who can find it? Finish your food quickly and clean the place.”

The weasels nodded at the words. They thought that their Tenth Elder was so particular with his food and was so wise and that they had followed the right person. Then, they all lowered their heads and began to tear at the Peacock.

None of them noticed that the female Peacock, who had been “killed” by Chu Xun, had quietly opened her eyes at this time.
