‘Two third -order subordinates? The strength of Gered’s gang… is shockingly strong. Could Gered be a master rank professional at the fourth-order?’ Su Lu was slightly surprised, then had a sudden realization.
Without such strength, the opponent would not have been able to build their notorious reputation across the state and still not have been subdued by the bounty hunters.
With this kind of strength and by being careful, avoiding provoking the occupational professionals of the level of legend, there is a chance to thrive to this day.
However… it won’t last for long.
Su Lu understood well that with the arrival of the transcendent wave today, unless Gered has secret connections with the Federation, they are certainly on the removal list of The Eleventh Bureau.
Because once they break through their chains and become a legendary professional, they might indulge in the same behavior as Moron and Black Kos beforehand!
Even if this possibility is small, it has to be prevented.
‘”Iron Fist’ Rus, ‘assassin’ Ali? Third-order Transcendents, leaning towards the physical side… Judging from Rust s movements, he seems like a third-order [Fighter], while Ali leans towards agility…”
After refining in the Green Tree Castle, Su Lu can now be considered a real [Mystical Scholar].
With just one glance, he could see through the details of these two men.
As for the professions inclined to casting magic?
Their lives are even more precious, or rather their abilities are more incomprehensible, and they have ways to make money. High-ranking ones rarely join such gangs unless they are leaders or manipulators themselves.
“This tribe… it’s going to be wiped out!”
Seeing Chief Gaosuo being attacked and stabbed in the back by Ali, blood gushing out, Geli’s fists involuntarily clenched.
Of course, she didn’t recklessly rush out and get herself and Su Lu killed. As a bounty hunter who grew up on the plains, she had her own judgment.
“Not necessarily…”
Su Lu murmured, “Listen…”
Geli turned her ear and suddenly heard an odd flute sound.
It was high one moment and low the next. It wasn’t very noticeable in the clamoring battlefield, but it wasn’t drowned out by the cries either.
“The highest-ranking member in the Gaosuo native tribe is not the chief, but the [Witch Doctor]!”
Su Lu carefully observed the terrain: “They are proficient in healing and breeding various strange plants and animals!”
“You mean?”
Geli was startled and then noticed the dark clouds appearing above the tribe.
They were surprisingly thumb-sized wasps!
These wasps had splendid patterns on their bodies. There was an uncountable number of them, forming dark clouds. They dove down and landed on the people of Gered’s gang.
Some of the bandits who were killing on a large scale immediately screamed, fell from their horses, and soon stopped moving. Their bodies swelled up frighteningly.
“What poisonous wasps!”
Geli said with lingering fear.
Not only that, within the tribe, layers of black ants were also appearing on the ground. These were flesh-eating ants! Wherever they passed by, whether it be humans or horses, all were swallowed by the black wave and soon became strips of red and white bones.
“So this is… the ability of the [Witch Doctor]? No wonder the nature reserve is so dangerous, yet the Gaosuo tribe manages to survive tenaciously!”
Geli murmured to herself, then turned her head to Su Lu: “How do you know so much?”
“I read it in books!”
Su Lu replied honestly: “But we should leave… The fight will end soon.”
“Yes… The Gered gang is finally getting its retribution!” Geli said happily.
“Wrong… The [Witch Doctor] is not a combat profession after all. Once his location is exposed, the battle is almost over… Or else, where do you think…
Gered went?”
Su Lu slowly descended down the hill: “If we don’t take this opportunity to leave, the chances of us being discovered will greatly increase after the battle ends.”
Just as he finished speaking, an inconspicuous tent in a corner of the tribe suddenly burst open,
Inside it was a strange beast.
It had human limbs, but its head had turned into an odd octopus shape. Countless tentacles with suckers were waving in the air, one of which even held a bone flute.
Ironically, the flute sound just now was produced by it.
At this moment, a robust white man was standing in front of it, his fourth-order professional aura intimidating everything.
‘Butcher’ Gered!
With a single glance, Su Lu confirmed the identity of the man, pulling Geli down the hill, quickly mounting a horse and galloping away.
After running some distance, Geli seemed to come back to her senses, “That was… what thing?”
“A [Witch Doctor] of the Gaosuo tribe, although… I think the majority of them should still be in human form. This one probably conducted some dangerous experiments, or failed at practicing a ‘Shape -Shifting spell’, or has been polluted by something else? There are too many possibilities…”
Su Lu whipped Black Jack to quicken his pace, then said without turning back: “No matter what, it cannot be a match for Gered.”
“What… do you plan to do next?”
Geli asked.
“The reserve has become very dangerous, we’ll go to the other end of the canyon…”
Su Lu pursed his lips, “We’ll wait for a few days. If we still don’t achieve anything… then we’ll go back.”
He was a sensible man who wouldn’t take too many risks.
“Excellent, a wise choice!”
Geli sighed with relief. She had almost thought Su Lu wanted to confront Gered head-on.
She used to dream a little about capturing the number one on the reward list, but after seeing him distantly once today, she gave up completely.
That Butcher Gered is at least a third-order professional, which is a level far beyond what she can challenge right now!
The Gaosuo tribe.
The tribe’s third-order professional chief was nailed to a stake, and the robbers around him were having a feast.
Rus and Ali stepped forward and said to Gered: “This job… was a bit of a loss…”
“It’s alright, the ones who died were just ordinary people. We can recruit again.”
Gered stepped on a piece of flesh that was still squirming.
That piece of flesh connected to a tentacle that exploded, spilling yellow-green, stinky fluid.
When the [Witch Doctor] dies, the bee swarm and ant colony he summoned naturally disperses, but it still caused large casualties for the gang.
Gered didn’t care at all. He looked over the battlefield, picked up a bone necklace from the flesh, disregarded the blood stains on it, carefully observed it, and his gaze seemed intoxicated, as if he was appreciating a piece of art.
“Leader… what should we do with the spoils of the war?”
Rus asked hesitantly.
“Kill all the men and skin them, sell the women outside… Rus, you lead ten people to complete this task, the rest, follow me deeper!”
Gered grinned: “Do you know why I asked you to do this? There seemed to be little bugs peeking outside just now… you go deal with it!”
The peeping ones weren’t strong, and a third-order [Fighter] like Rus was enough to handle them!
