Chapter 154 – Fight then, Hero’s comrade!
Yue Yang had guessed right. At the entrance of the Ant Hole, there was indeed a massacre.
Countless mercenaries were hacking and slashing their blades blindly, tangled and bundled in a crowd. Some mercenaries were slaughtering others while some were merely defending themselves. They had also summoned their beasts who had started to bite and tear at each other. Every single person had gone stark, raving mad, wanting to kill all the enemies in front of them and carve a way out to survive for themselves. However, more people were killed, and even more were falling down. Chopped limbs and heads were strewn all over the ground. Beasts’ corpses laid in disorder, forming mountains of corpses everywhere and emitting a bloody smell that made Yue Yang feel like puking.
Amongst the fighting crowd, miserable cries resounded continuously as corpses fell to the bloodstained ground one after another.
Beasts roaring, blades striking, close combat noises resounded through the whole mountain.
“You guys have all gone mad. The Golden Ant Eggs are not with us at all. You guys have really gone mad!” There were a few mercenaries who were innocently dragged into battle.
Facing against the other mercenaries who had turned into mad slaughterers, they couldn’t help but to pick up their weapons and kill as a self-defense.
Yue Bing, Ye Kong, Fatty Hai and the others were also the same.
A few hours ago.
The five of them were resting outside of the Ant Hole, quietly waiting for Yue Yang to return. Never would they thought that a moment later, there was a disturbance at the entrance of the Ant Hole. At first, mercenaries only started to curse at each other. However, a few minutes later, it was unknown who had started it, but a shocking, crazy news had suddenly exploded. It was said that in the bags of three mercenaries, there was a Golden Ant Egg each… Hence, every single mercenary who carried a backpack became a target for greedy mercenaries, causing a bloody war to explode immediately. The fire of the war ignited in every single mercenary soldier, and not even a single one was spared. Yue Bing, Ye Kong and the others had initially avoided the battle and was climbed up to a high mountain cliff, unwilling to fight a deadly battle with these mercenaries. However, before 10 minutes even passed, they were found out by the mercenaries below. Some devilish and monstrous mercenaries with fierce appearances started to charge towards them.
They had already become mad from the killing, turning into a killing machine that would kill anyone within their sight.
In order to create more disorder, there were even some mercenaries with a hidden intention to provoke other mercenaries, who started to point towards Yue Bing and shouted loudly, “The Golden Ant Egg is on that little lady!”
Thus, mad, violent mercenaries started racing their way towards her. Their beasts also climbed along.
It was impossible to avoid the battle again.
Yue Bing and Ye Kong had initially wanted to teleport back to Hope Town, but found that their teleportation scroll failed when they opened it.
Seemed like there was a dimensional disturbance in the Settlement Camp and Hope Town. The purpose for this disturbance was to prevent anyone from teleporting away from this place. In the sky, countless mercenaries riding their flying beasts descended on the ground.
It was evident that these were the mercenaries from Hope Town who had heard about the news and decided to come over.
Even if they were to teleport to Hope Town, it seemed like it wouldn’t be safe anymore!
Previously, they had never thought that something like this would happen. All the teleportation scrolls on Yue Bing, Ye Kong and the others had all recorded Hope Town or the Settlement Camp as their Teleportation Point. Only Yue Yang had a teleportation scroll to Shang Jing… Furthermore, Yue Bing was also not willing to abandon her brother and flee. If his brother who had entered the Ant Hole didn’t return for one whole day, she would also not leave this place for one whole day.
No matter what, she would wait for her brother to return.
