3 days later.
"It took longer to get here than expected." Zhu Dingxiang said as he looking at the small mountain in from of him.
This is a nameless mountain, that one could found just anywhere. Only about 700 meters tall and covered with trees, perfectly blending into the surrounding.
'Damn, this Leader Dog is truly a professional at picking a place to hide. If not for the direction giving from the captured bandits and my Spirit eyes. It would probably take months just aimlessly searching around.'
2 months ago, Leader Yellow Dog found a big cave on this mountain and decide to build his temporary base here after leaving Blue Lake Town. This place is located in the outermost area of the Colossal Mountain Forest.
Since the outer layer of the Colossal Mountain Forest cover an extremely vast area, searching without a proper direction would be very time-consuming.
Here Leader Dog name it the Yellow Dog mountain after the temporary base is build.
From his position, Zhu Dingxiang looked up and could see it, the base of the Yellow Dog. There was no open road leading toward the Yellow Dog's hideout, many bushes and thick trees covered the path make it very well hidden.
Ever since the bandits had occupied the mountain, they had cleared out all the dangerous beast around the areas and set up many deadly traps. Even cultivators at stage 3 Body refining would be dead without a doubt if they carelessly fall into it.
With his Spirit eyes, Zhu Dingxiang discovers over 100 deep holes with sharp blades and spears in them. These holes are 2 meters wide and about 4 to 5 meters deep.
'Heck! Even stage 4 or 5 Body refining cultivator might die to these traps due to their carelessness and the surprise factor.' Zhu Dingxiang thought to himself as he scrutinized these traps carefully.
[You gained 1 karma point.]
"Well well well! Even Heaven is telling me to remove these traps. Hm… I will just remove them after dealing with the bandits here then. Let's go Little White." Zhu Dingxiang said as he carries Little Chibi and walks up the Yellow Dog mountain.
Along the way, Zhu Dingxiang spotted a few patrolling bandits. He checks their general status to see if any of them has a good karma description like Daman but to his disappointment, they don't have any.
Zhu Dingxiang then makes sharp wooden spikes pierced through their forehead and give them a quick and painless death. Having seen the brutality of the previous group of bandits, he wouldn't spare them.
"At least I will help you make your death meaningful." Zhu Dingxiang said as the surrounding tree roots rise from the ground and buried their body.
[You have gained 0.01 Karma.]
"..."
After buried their body, Zhu Dingxiang then walked toward the West. He discovers a small camp of bandits in that direction.
'Let's see… there are about 200 people in this camp. More than half of them seem to be slaves.'
"Little White, try not to make a commotion and take care of them quietly okay?" Zhu Dingxiang said as he rubbing Little White's head.
"Growl.." Little white growl in a low voice like she was saying she understands.
"Alright, let's go." Zhu Dingxiang said before they silently moving toward the bandit camp.
Even though the strength of the bandits was weak in Zhu Dingxiang eyes, he wouldn't dare to underestimate them. There are countless martial spirits existing in this world, some of them might have weir abilities which he wasn't willing to let up to chance.
However, Zhu Dingxiang was thinking too much, if one of them has a unique ability, they wouldn't be a bandit in the first place.
Little White silently snuck up behind a bandit. Her transverse stripes blended perfectly into her surroundings, breaking up her silhouette. As the bandit turn around, he was terrified frozen on the spot looking at those cold and moon-like eyes.
The bandit could swear that he had never experienced so much terror before in his entire duration of existence. She looked deep into his soul and saw the fear in his eyes.
Just like those lowly preys that she had hunted down countless times. Little white sprang and her mighty forelimbs descended upon the bandit. Her blue crystal-like retractile claws emerged from their furry pouches.
Everything was silent, the bandit could see his own headless body slowly get down on its knees and falling onto the hard ground from a distance away.
'Oh… So this is the end.' That was the last thought of the bandit as the light in his eyes faded away.
Looking from afar and watching the entire process, Zhu Dingxiang could see why she was one of the jungle's apex predators. Slightly distracted, he made a mistake and his target let out a sound just enough to alert the nearby bandits.
"Who are you?!" One of the bandits who arrived at the scene yelled out loudly alerting the whole camp.
"INTRUDER!!!!"
Seeing that they were exposed, Zhu Dingxiang moved extremely fast before he instantly killed the bandit and rushing to the biggest wooden house.
Along the way, any bandits he encounters would get pierced through their forehead with a wooden spike. Zhu Dingxiang didn't waste any time and killed them all, as any hesitation might actually cause needless collateral damages.
…
Hearing the commotion outside, a tall man with a scar on his face walk out of the biggest wooden house.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?" Exclaimed the tall man while he was still pulling up his pant.
"S second leader, there is an intruder snuck into our camp and is now currently killing his way here!" a thin bandit rushed to the tall man and reported the situation.
"THE GALL!?" The tall man exclaimed as he rushed to the scene.
Seeing his men getting killed by an unknown intruder, the tall man summoned his martial spirit. Suddenly a two meters long blade covering in red fire appeared in his right hand.
"BASTAR! WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?" The man roared loudly as he was holding the Fire Blade looking intimidating.
[Name: Scar Face]
[Age: 42]
[Martial spirit: Fire Blade, Mortal-grade (peak)]
[Cultivation: Body refining, 5 Stage(peak).]
[Cultivation technique: Tyrant Blade, mortal-rank(Low)]
[Description: A scheming 2 faced person, the second leader of the Yellow Dog.]
Hearing no reply, Scar Face was feeling humiliated as the other party seems to look down on him. However, he didn't dare to charge forward blindly and warily looking at this intruder.
Zhu Dingxiang stopped for a moment and looks at Scarface's status before charging forward.
"COURTING DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
(A/N: Aiya... It's hard to write fillers. But without them, the novel is bland zzzzzz.)
