Reincarnation Of The Businesswoman At School Novel - Chapter 1073
Chapter 1073: Meet the Second Member of the Evil Practice
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting sped up. It was already dark when they reached the foot of the mountain. It looked quite scary because of a black mist in the woods that dimmed the moonlight. Leaves rubbed against each other and birds made hoarse sounds once in a while, which made it even more creepy.
Gu Ning didn’t walk in at once, but used her Jade Eyes to look around to see whether she could find the second member of the Evil Practice.
She failed to find him, but noticed dense Yin at another place in the valley.
The valley was a little far away, so Gu Ning wasn’t able to see it clearly, but she was sure that the man was there. No matter what, she had to go there to find it out.
Leng Shaoting silently remained by Gu Ning’s side the entire time.
Afterwards, Gu Ning walked towards the valley.
The XX Mountain was very rugged, and it was hard for ordinary people to climb up it, but it wasn’t a problem for Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting.
Leng Shaoting understood that Gu Ning wasn’t a weak girl, but he still kept paying attention to her in case she fell.
Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes along the way to help her check the surroundings.
Since this place was well-known for hidden treasure, she should try to find some.
The farther they walked into the woods, the colder they felt.
Gu Ning took out the night-luminescent pearl, then put it into a small bag with a string. She gave the small bag to Leng Shaoting and said, “Wear this on your neck, then you won’t feel cold anymore.”
Although Leng Shaoting was a strong young man, he might be affected by Yin without having the magical power to protect himself.
“How about you?” Leng Shaoting was worried about Gu Ning’s safety.
“I’m fine. The cold wind won’t affect me,” Gu Ning said.
Leng Shaoting knew that she wasn’t lying, so he accepted the night-luminescent pearl.
After going through a lot with Gu Ning, Leng Shaoting always had a feeling that Gu Ning wasn’t a common human being, but she was unwilling to tell him details, so he didn’t ask further about it. He was a very considerate boyfriend.
Leng Shaoting soon felt better with the help of night-luminescent pearl.
When they got close to the valley, Gu Ning released some magical power which could attract the second member of the Evil Practice.
Before long, both Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting heard loud noises. It wasn’t because of the wind, and it was filled with danger.
Gu Ning looked ahead, and found a black figure flashing by. It moved like lightning, and it was only 10 meters away from Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting within seconds.
The black figure stopped there, and observed Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting from a dark corner.
He was the second member of the Evil Practice.
When he sensed the magical power on Gu Ning’s and Leng Shaoting’s body, he looked greedy. He was surprised to find two human beings with strong magical power, and felt super lucky.
Unfortunately, he didn’t know that he was in danger now.
Many people came here to search for treasure, so the man thought that Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting came here to do the same thing.
The second Gu Ning saw the man, she didn’t hesitate to pull out a handgun to shoot him.
The man was shot in the shoulder and screamed in pain. Although he was a member of the Evil Practice, he still could feel pain before he reached the top level.
After being shot, the man realized that Gu Ning had already found him and got furious. He couldn’t wait to kill them right now.
“Damn it, how dare you hurt me!” he yelled and attacked Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were shocked by his speed.
The man hadn’t been prepared just then, so Gu Ning was able to shoot him, or he wouldn’t have been injured.
Gu Ning squeezed a bronze dagger into Leng Shaoting’s hand when the man attacked them. Given the man’s speed, it was useless to use a gun. A dagger was much better for fighting in a short distance.
Gu Ning also held a bronze dagger in her hand, then began to fight against the man.
Even though Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting did their best, they failed to get control of the man, because the situation wasn’t to their advantage. They were in the dark rocky woods, and couldn’t move as quickly as the man. Besides, the man was much stronger than them.
It was obvious that the second member of the Evil Practice was of a much higher level than the first one they had met before.
Although they couldn’t catch the man right now, the man wasn’t able to hurt them either.
In fact, Gu Ning could directly let the jiao out to help them so that they could catch the man within seconds, but Gu Ning was unwilling to expose the jiao.
Moreover, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting needed to practice their skills, so she wouldn’t let the jiao out until she felt threatened.
