Chapter 1894 - 840: Cunning People from Jiuzhou!
"God Lin?"
Wu Hongfu turned his head and glanced in the direction Lin Baici was looking.
There was nothing there!
But from the look in Lin Baici’s eyes, something seemed off!
Maybe I’m just overthinking!
If there were a monster, Lin Baici would definitely attack it in advance.
Wu Hongfu followed Lin Baici, pondering what to say to gain his trust, but then a few screams suddenly came from behind.
The loudest scream was from Gulis.
Wu Hongfu immediately turned around.
That invisible monster attacked again, this time targeting Kreiser.
When its Wolf Fang Club smashed onto Kreiser’s head, Kreiser’s Divine Grace Counterattack Storm was immediately triggered.
The Wolf Fang Club rebounded back, hitting the Black Armored Monster right in the face.
"Lin Baici, there’s a monster!"
Kreiser shouted a warning while rushing towards Lin Baici.
The others saw this and started running too.
Lin Baici turned his head.
The oil lamp he held in his hand emitted a dim, faint light, like a dying sun.
Lin Baici glanced at the Black Armored Monster.
The Black Armored Monster quickly ran off, dragging its Wolf Fang Club on the ground, afraid of Lin Baici punishing it.
"Impressive, you scared the monster away!"
Lin Baici praised.
"..."
Kreiser squinted his eyes, could this kid control the monster to make it attack someone?
Probably not, right?
But why would the monster attack me?
A coincidence?
Kreiser was caught in doubt.
If Lin Baici can control monsters, then I’m in danger.
The Counterattack Storm Divine Grace is very strong, automatically retaliating when attacked, but it only has a ninety percent success rate. If it just happens not to rebound, I’ll get hurt.
But if I take out the candlestick for protection, what will others think?
Having a Taboo thing that can see invisible monsters but not using it, wouldn’t that clearly mean taking advantage of Lin Baici?
A Dragon Level big shot acting so petty, it’s really undignified.
Should I just endure it?
Kreiser wanted to save face and decided to wait and see.
Just now, it was probably a coincidence!
As Lin Baici walked, he suddenly stopped and stared at a window ten meters away.
Shush!
Everyone also quickly stopped and looked on high alert.
"God Lin? What’s going on?"
"Is there a monster?"
"What does the monster you saw look like?"
Everyone hurriedly asked.
"It ran away!"
Lin Baici casually replied and continued walking forward without explaining what the monster looked like.
Everyone was curious but didn’t dare to ask because of Lin Baici’s prestigious status.
As the group reached the end of the corridor, halfway up the stairs, Lin Baici stopped again.
Shush!
They all did the same.
But after waiting for a minute, still nothing happened.
Watching Lin Baici continue walking forward, everyone frowned.
"What’s God Lin up to?"
"Why don’t you go ask?"
"Do you think I have enough face for that?"
People like Wu Hongfu could endure it because they were benefiting from tagging along, so they couldn’t complain, but Kreiser couldn’t stand it any longer.
"Is this kid deliberately toying with me?"
Kreiser frowned deeply.
Honestly, a Dragon Level parading along with everyone, dancing to others’ tunes, is quite embarrassing.
If Lin Baici keeps doing this, everyone’s trust in Kreiser will erode because you’ll be just another ’useless crowd’.
Fuck!
Sneaky people from Jiuzhou!
Kreiser cursed in his heart, then suddenly thought of another possibility.
Is that kid testing whether I can see ’invisible monsters’ or not?
If I can’t see, and if he can summon ’invisible minions’, would he attack me?
Kreiser put himself in Lin Baici’s shoes; if he were Lin Baici, he would totally do that!
The rewards of killing a Dragon Level are tremendously great.
When Kreiser thought of the muscular Buddha Lin Baici summoned, if that thing could turn invisible...
Shush!
A cold sweat broke out on his back, soaking his undershirt.
Kreiser quickly took out a silver candlestick and blew at the three candles inserted on it three times.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The candles lit up, emitting an orange-yellow glow.
Kreiser immediately checked the surroundings in the candlelight.
No monsters!
Kreiser breathed a sigh of relief, only to see everyone watching him.
Wu Hongfu and the others guessed Kreiser wanted to freeload off Lin Baici, but they didn’t dare to ask since they couldn’t afford to offend a Dragon Level.
However, Kim Myungjin had no such reservations.
"It seems like your Taboo thing can also see invisible monsters, so why didn’t you use it earlier?"
The candlestick is a ’mountain’ structure, with a handle at the bottom and three baby-arm-thick tallow candles inserted on three vertical forks.
It looked very crude, completely incomparable to Lin Baici’s Ghostly Oil Lamp.
"This kind of candle is a one-time consumable. Once used, it’s gone!"
Kreiser explained, "So I have to use them sparingly!"
"Haha!"
Kim Myungjin sneered.
"Aren’t you going to ask me why I’m using it now?"
Kreiser thought, as long as you ask, I’ll say Lin Baici’s actions were too sloppy to trust.
But Kim Myungjin simply replied with three words.
"Not interested!"
"You..."
Kreiser was so angry he could spit blood.
The temporary team saw the tense atmosphere and dared not speak randomly, afraid of angering the two Dragon Level big shots, but inside, they felt quite jubilant.
Adding Kreiser, it’s a double safety net.
More security.
"God Lin!"
Wu Hongfu gave a thumbs up to Lin Baici.
Anyone with half a brain could see Kreiser was trying to freeload on Lin Baici, only to be played by him.
