Chapter 167 – Embarking…
Hei Bao was astounded, to say the least upon hearing Xie Bohai's words, but then soon became elated. For this meant that they would not be failing this mission and would not have wasted their time.
"Good, good, good…" Hei Bao spoke while nodding his head.
He was truly relieved more than what others could see from his face. Hei Bao had always been a perfectionist and wanted to do the best for his lord, thus even the thought of failure was dreadful for him.
"Well then, where is Lin Mu?" Hei Bao asked.
"Senior Lin Mu is resting in the tent. The others have gone to call him so you need not worry." Xie Bohai replied.
Just as Xie Bohai said this, another sound came from behind him.
"I'm here." Spoke the approaching voice.
Xie Bohai and Hei Bao looked at the person approaching who was none other than Lin Mu. Lin Mu was looking at them as well, and in turn also at the large group of people that were coming from the forest one by one. The entire team had gathered there by now, and the border of the camp was now rather crowded.
Lin Mu did a quick sweep with his spirit sense and estimated that there were at least seventy people there now. He also noticed that some of them looked a little haggard, as if they had been in a battle of some kind.
'Seems like they did encounter some beasts.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
"We should move to the camp, I think. It's getting a little crowded here and the others can rest for a bit as well." Lin Mu suggested.
"Alright." Hei Bao replied.
"That would be good. My companions are tired from the battle before." Teng Xiaolian said in acknowledgment.
All of them thus entered the camp and were shocked by the sheer number of steel back wolf carcasses that were stacked in the corner. Even Hei Bao, Hong Luo, and Teng Xiaolian were shocked by this. Even though they had heard about the ambush that happened before, seeing something and hearing about it was different.
~Gulp~
Teng Xiaolian and Hong Luo gulped in shock, for they could not even begin to imagine what kind of battle that must have been. Ten Xiaolian then turned to look at Lin Mu.
'Indeed, we were not wrong. There is no chance that this could be accomplished by anyone other than the disciples of the top sects.' Teng Xiaolian thought to himself.
The crowd then moved into the camp and sat down wherever they could. The camp that was once rather empty was now bustling with people. Some of the team members started butchering the beast carcasses to prepare a meal for the people.
They all seemed to be tired, thus this seemed to be the best ways to utilize the beast corpses. The mercenaries and the remaining members of the Hei corps also seemed to be rather grateful and went along to help them set it up.
Multiple smaller bonfires popped up in the camp, and the people were now sitting around them. With the main membered sitting at the very center of the camp between the four tents. This included Lin Mu, Xie Bohai, Teng Xiaolian, Hong Luo, and Hei Bao.
"So then, what did you exactly discover?" Hei Bao questioned Lin Mu.
Lin Mu then repeated the same story that he had told Xie Bohai and others. Hei Bao had a serious expression the entire time and listened to each word intently. Fifteen minutes passed and Lin Mu had finally finished speaking.
