BXBX NOVEL Chapter 980 - Madness
Instantly, everyone on Faerie Star began scouring the entire world. Although Faerie Star was huge, these warriors moved quickly.
Shortly after Hong Dali and the others left, Ling Xiaoyi led Li Nianwei out of the cave where Mother Bear and her cub were. Although the cave was hidden, it was a dead end. Once they were discovered, there would be nowhere to escape.
After they left the cave, Ling Xiaoyi and Li Nianwei went into an overgrown patch of forest. Protected by Hong Dali’s Animal’s Best Friend title, Ling Xiaoyi and Li Nianwei would not be harmed by the strange beasts inside. What they had to be careful of now were humans.
Not long after they hid, Mother Bear’s cave was discovered.
“Hey, is there anyone in the cave?” The person who was looking for clues asked.
“No, there are two bears, one big and one small, nothing else out of the ordinary,” said the other man.
“Continue searching, quick.” The two immediately continued their search.
Ling Xiaoyi and Li Nianwei held their breaths in the forest where they were. Li Nianwei’s biggest problem was her strength. Although she was 100% loyal to Hong Dali, she had no ability in the real world. Furthermore, the two of them were not wearing the trench coats that represented their identity. Once found, they would definitely be regarded as suspicious characters.
“Sister Nianwei, how are you doing?” Ling Xiaoyi whispered.
“My wound is very itchy, it should be healing.” Li Nianwei replied, “It would be very dangerous if we are found now.”
“If only I had a Soul Stone.” Ling Xiaoyi frowned. “With my ability, I can only deal with two average Black-levels at most. If they are just a little stronger than average, I will not be able to take them on.” As she said this, her ears twitched. “Someone is coming, two of them.”
Ling Xiaoyi and Li Nianwei looked at each other. At the same time, they felt the need to find a better hiding place.
However, although this location was remote enough, there was no particularly good place to hide. Just as they were worried about that, a khaki-colored rabbit hopped to Li Nianwei’s foot and pawed gently at her.
“This is...” Li Nianwei was curious. After the rabbit pawed at Li Nianwei, it hopped towards a big tree. The two quickly followed and soon found a well-hidden cave among its numerous roots!
Seeing such a good hiding place, there was no need to say more. Both of them quickly ducked into the hole and camouflaged the entrance.
This was just an ordinary cave. It was not big inside, just right for two people to hide in, although a little stuffy.
A crafty rabbit had three burrows, it seemed that this statement was true...
As soon as they had hidden, two voices gradually approached, and the conversation between the two could be heard—
“Go there and see if there are any clues. I’ll go here.” One said, “Whether or not you find any clues, meet back here!”
Clues? Li Nianwei frowned and said, “It seems like they’re looking for us. The people sent by the High Nobles must have offered a reward.”
Everyone on Faerie Star had come to train, but there were people here looking for clues at this time. Without a doubt, the news that Malone had been killed must have spread.
Soon, the two ran back again and one of them said, “Found anything?”
The other said, “Nothing, just a large flock of Mysterious Stellar Golden Eagles which appeared a short distance away. There were too many of them, I dared not approach.”
“Let’s hurry and continue looking!” The voice faded away.
After they left. Ling Xiaoyi and Li Nianwei finally relaxed a little.
Ling Xiaoyi was not afraid to fight. What she was afraid of was that their position would be exposed. Then, there would be more and more enemies coming to them and by then, they would not be able to escape even if they wanted to.
“Phew, lucky.” Ling Xiaoyi smiled and gathered the khaki-colored rabbit into her arms. Still smiling, she said, “Thank you. Otherwise, we would have been easily found, haha.”
“Xiaoyi.” Li Nianwei had gleaned some other information from the men’s conversation. “They said that there were many Mysterious Stellar Golden Eagles nearby. Remember, when we were in Shenluo City, what Li Xuancheng mentioned about what indicated a higher occurrence of Soul Stones?”
“Mysterious Stellar Golden Eagles?” Ling Xiaoyi thought carefully and then suddenly laughed. “Sister Nianwei, these Mysterious Stellar Golden Eagles should be of the Metal Element. They have appeared in a flock, does that mean... a Soul Stone?”
“Highly likely!” Li Nianwei’s eyes glowed. “Come, let’s go take a look!”
...
Elsewhere, the group of four comprising of Tang Muxin, Zhang Yi, Lin Chuyin, and Lucifer.
“Damn, they offered a reward!” Tang Muxin was so anxious her face was flushed. “This way, we are going to be completely surrounded by enemies!”
“Well, the current situation looks rather pessimistic.” Lucifer stroked his chin. “One billion Dimu Dollars is not a small amount. Even if there are no traitors around Young Master, with people on the entire planet looking for clues, it’s enough to worry. I guess everyone is already searching all over the world now?”
“What do we do?” Zhang Yi asked anxiously. “Shall I ask my godmother if there are Zergs near Faerie Star and have them come over to back us up?” It was amazing that she could even come up with the idea of calling in Zergs as backup...
However, she was not to blame. They really did not have any other ideas. After all, the other party had offered a sky-high reward, enough to have everyone scrambling for it.
“Oh, kill anyone who dares touch Hong Dali!” Lin Chuyin was an emotionless super freak. Now, someone was out to create trouble for Hong Dali. In Lin Chuyin’s mind, anyone who plotted to harm Hong Dali must die!!
She would not hesitate to kill!
“Killing is killing. The problem is that we are not strong enough now.” Tang Muxin frowned and thought for a while. Then, she said, “Our most important task now is to find Soul Stones. This is the best way to greatly improve our strength in a short time.”
“Well, that’s true.” Lucifer nodded. “Let’s hurry and find it. By the way, Xinxin, aren’t you worried that someone will betray us? Are there traitors around Young Master?”
“That’s impossible.” Tang Muxin was very sure about this. “All of us came from Earth. Who would stupidly go tell on us? Right?”
“That’s true.” Lucifer chuckled and nodded. “This is the benefit of being Young Master’s people. The team is very pure, haha!”
...
On Hong Dali’s side.
Hong Dali’s six-member group was searching all over the world. With the title of Animal’s Best Friend, Hong Dali was able to do as he wished on Faerie Star. Before long, with help from the animals, Hong Dali found a Soul Stone.
This was what looked like an insect-type battle soul stone. It was found in the hive of a swarm of fire element killer bees. The one who provided the information was a cute strange little squirrel-like animal...
“It seems that Soul Stones are not difficult to find.” Hong Dali said with a big smile, “Sister Ye, this is for you.” Then, he threw the soul stone to her.
Just as Ye Huayun was fusing with the Soul Stone, a projection message appeared on her trench coat.
“Damn! A reward of one billion for clues?” When he saw the message, Hong Dali opened his eyes wide. “These guys are really putting in a lot of money. Even I am tempted!”
“They do have a lot of money.” Levis nodded. “One billion for just a clue, one billion Dimu Dollars, amazing.”
“Dali, what are your plans?” Blood Demon said, “With this reward, we will definitely be listed as one of the suspects. The most important thing is, this way, we will not be able to actively do anything. All we can do is keep fleeing—every Black and White-level Double Honorary Aristocrat will be high on the list of suspects, especially us. This is certain.”
“Yes, wait, let me think.” Hong Dali touched his chin. “One billion Dimu Dollars is not a small amount. Everyone must be in a frenzy now! So, the whole world is bound to be out looking for clues. This will not be a bad way to buy some time, but there is a problem. Sister Xiaoyi and Sister Nianwei will be in a lot of danger!”
Hong Dali was not too worried about the proof that he had killed Malone.
He was able to instantly kill eight guards brought by Malone. With Malone’s position, would his guards be weak?
It would not be easy to figure out who had the ability to do that. Although he was a super genius, no one would think that he could kill eight guards at one go.
The other plan was to kill the opponent with lightning speed once they ascertained that he was the killer and managed to locate him.
Both options were foolproof in any case.
But now the other party offered a reward, which was somewhat unexpected.
By right, this would be a good way to buy some time. But Hong Dali had a very big problem, namely Ling Xiaoyi and Li Nianwei. The two of them were not wearing the Honorary Aristocrat trench coats. When Hong Dali was making plans, he had anticipated that regardless of whether they thought he was the killer, they would come for him first. As long as they dared to come for him, he dared to kill them. With such a plan, Ling Xiaoyi and Li Nianwei would naturally not be in any danger.
Now, they were offering a reward. In this case, if the two women were to be found first...
“I changed my mind.” Hong Dali thought carefully for a while and then suddenly chuckled. “Since they are sending us money of their own accord, there is no need for us to stand on ceremony.”
“Ah?” When they heard what Hong Dali said, the few of them were stunned.
Hong Dali said that they were sending them money of their own accord, did that mean...
When they thought about what Hong Dali meant, the few of them were flabbergasted.
They were running for their lives and he actually planned to do such a crazy thing?
“Hehe, it seems you finally get it.” Hong Dali laughed. “Yes, I plan to report myself!”
He was going to report himself!
It was probably the first time since the invention of the reward system that someone was reporting themselves!
