Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1038: Hidden Evil Plan (1)

Half an hour passed...

Zagg! Zagg! Zagg!

Tweeeeeeeet!!!

Flap! Flap! Flap!

"He's here!"

After waiting for half an hour, the employer finally arrived. Before he appeared, a large white bird flew down from the sky. Along with that, a group of people soared down onto the ground.

"Is everything ready, Sen-Lao?" A middle-aged man in the crowd walked out and asked the middle-aged man with a thick beard in a serious tone.

"Everything is ready. We can start taking action now." Sen-Lao nodded to the person who asked. Before he turned to look at the middle-aged man who had recruited the Grandmasters to join the team, as if it were a signal to each other.

Umm!

"Everyone, our mission today is to explore a cave. The duty of all of you is to explore the cave and then come out and tell us what is inside. And if you encounter monsters that are too strong, retreat immediately." Finally, the middle-aged man told everyone the details of the mission. That was, they were responsible for surveying the area in a cave, or, more simply, being at the forefront of testing the route.

"I have suspected that it would be like this. Is that what you said was an easy job?" Yun-Xiang-Kong was the first to speak up in a dissatisfied tone. Because this task was very risky. Even though it sounded simple, if they went in and encountered a monster beast with a higher energy level than they were, no one would survive.

"If you aren't satisfied, you can withdraw and go back. But you must return on your own and must not stay in the area where we're on a mission!" Sen-Lao immediately interrupted with a fierce look on his face and eyes. He stared at Yun-Xiang-Kong as if he was going to devour his blood and flesh.

Ah!

Of course, it was not just the stares, there was also hidden pressure. This made Yun-Xiang-Kong feel heavy as if something weighty was pressing down on him.

"Enough! If he doesn't go, it's his business. We should start executing the plan!" The middle-aged man who had hired them dissatisfiedly stopped Sen-Lao and told him to start the mission. Because he wasted a lot of time on nonsense like this. What he wanted was the item in the cave.

Huh!

Although Sen-Lao was dissatisfied, he had to obey and break the pressure while cursing a little. He then walked away to calm himself.

"Are you all right?" Zheng-Fu walked over and asked, supporting Yun-Xiang-Kong steady on his feet.

"I'm fine. With a little rest, I'll feel better." Yun-Xiang-Kong looked slightly saddened by this situation. He did not want it to happen. And he did not think the other party would take action against him either.

"It's fine that you're all right. We're still weak. If we take a little more time, I believe we'll be able to stand on our own!" Zheng-Fu wanted to help deal with those people. But he could not reveal his true energy right now. Because he wanted to know what those people really wanted. Therefore, he could only console Yun-Xiang-Kong with words of comfort.

"Thank you very much. You're a very good comrade, Zheng-Fu!" Yun-Xiang-Kong felt slightly better after listening to Zheng-Fu's words. He knew that he was like a beginner who had just joined the sect or martial arts academy. Therefore, he thought of holding onto this grudge for now.

After that incident with Yun-Xiang-Kong, none of the other newcomers dared to argue or displease Sen-Lao again. Everyone knew that he was stronger and could easily kill them. So, they had to comply and continue on their way to their destination.

Half an hour later...

Groan!!!

The group had now stopped about ten li away from the target cave because it was a distance that the monster beast guarding the cave could not sense them. But not long after they arrived, the furious roar of the monster beast guarding the entrance of the cave sounded.

"It already knew we were here. Why has its detection range increased?" Sen-Lao frowned in worry. He did not expect the monster beast to know of their arrival so quickly. The last time they came, the distance was even shorter.

"Never mind! This time, I brought several initial Heavenly Deity Originate stage Grandmasters with me. And there was also one person at the fifth level. I don't believe we can't kill that Earth Armored Bear Monster Beast!" The employer looked very confident as he spoke. Because this time he had prepared very well. He brought many people with a high energy level to deal with that monster beast.

"If that's the case, that's good. Because that Earth Armored Bear Monster Beast is only at the fifth level of the Heavenly Deity Originate stage. We've come in such large numbers, no matter what, it must be defeated. And if we can get its soul as well, that would be great!" The middle-aged man in charge of taking care of the mission participants said, smiling with satisfaction when he heard the employer say that, because what caught his attention the most was the soul of the Earth Armored Bear Monster Beast.

"If we really got its soul, the person who has the right to get it would probably be him anyway. Because we've already agreed on the share this time!" Sen-Lao turned to his comrade with a serious expression. But if one looked carefully, one would know that they were sending signals to each other.

"That's right! We just accepted the job and have already agreed upon the share." The middle-aged man looked sad as he spoke. Before turning to look in the direction of the roar from the Earth Armored Bear Monster Beast, without saying another word.

'These people must have a hidden evil plan. This must be fun. But should I let someone who knows nothing about it die like this?' Zheng-Fu knew that the two middle-aged men must have had some evil plan behind them. And he thought that many of the newcomers would probably die there. But he could not decide whether he should help them or leave them to their fate.

Even though the Earth Armored Bear Monster Beast sensed the intruder, it did not move from the cave entrance. Instead, it stood firmly in its place and released energy waves, preparing to fight. Looking at its demeanor, it probably had a certain level of intelligence.

"Earth Armored Bear refused to move anywhere. So, what do we do like this?" a young man said in a worried tone. He was tasked with being at the front of the group of newcomers who had to explore the caves behind the Earth Armored Bear Monster Beast.

"You don't have to worry about that. We'll deal with it ourselves. You guys just do your assigned duties, that's enough!" The middle-aged man who had brought them to join the team turned to speak to the young man with a smile on his face as if nothing had happened.

Umm!

"Sen-Lao, take action now!"

Umm!

Everyone, go ahead!

Yaaaaa!!!

As soon as his employer gave the command to take action, Sen-Lao immediately shouted for the other Grandmasters to follow him and deal with the Earth Armored Bear Monster Beast. Each person had prepared well. Their weapons and armor were all advanced Heavenly items that were infused with monster souls.

GROOOOOOAN!!!

The Earth Armored Bear roared louder as the intruders began to move closer to it. It stood up on both legs like a human. This made it up to three meters tall and as wide as three to four humans wrapping their arms around it, which was considered very large.

Floof! Floof! Floof!

Despite its large size, its movements were not slow at all. It moved quickly and was very agile. In the blink of an eye, it had already approached the Grandmasters group, who were going to deal with it.

"Damn it! Who said it's only at the fifth level of the Heavenly Deity Originate stage? The speed and aura it emits are already sixth level!" The middle-aged man with the highest energy level in the group, who was their hope of killing this Earth Armored Bear Monster Beast, spoke with a worried expression.

Groan!!!

"Deal with it first. Maybe it was just promoted to a new level. Its energy must be unstable!" However, Sen-Lao thought differently. He believed that this bear had only recently progressed. Otherwise, it would not have waited for them to come this close before taking action.

All right!

"It's outnumbered. It's enough just to crowd together and not allow it to react!" The employer agreed with Sen-Lao's idea. In fact, even if he did not want to agree, he had no other choice. Because he invested a lot this time.

No!!!

Bang!

Whoosh!!!

Booooom!!!

But while Sen-Lao's group was discussing, a frightened cry suddenly sounded out. Before a figure floated up and bounced hundreds of pings away. That body was one of the Grandmasters that the employer had brought. And the person who took action against him was the Earth Armored Bear Monster Beast.

It took the opportunity that those Grandmasters were in confusion and aimed at the weakest ones first. Then it began to act without that Grandmaster knowing. And even though the Grandmaster did not die, he was so seriously injured that he could not participate in the battle again.

"Everyone, be careful! This monster beast is very clever," Sen-Lao immediately shouted to the others to be more careful. When Earth Armored Bear finished attacking, it quickly retreated to leave some distance so that it could not be surrounded. This was considered a very smart move.

Umm!!!

"Zheng-Fu, do you think they will be able to deal with the Earth Armored Bear Monster Beast?" Yun-Xiang-Kong moved over and whispered to Zheng-Fu. Because from what he saw, this situation was very bad.

"I don't know, but what I do know is that the Earth Armored Bear hasn't even seriously attacked yet." Zheng-Fu could clearly see the Earth Armored Bear's energy level. Therefore, he knew that it had not yet used its true energy to attack that Grandmaster.

"Didn't it seriously attack yet?" Yun-Xiang-Kong was a little puzzled and did not understand. Because it was very difficult for people with low energy levels like them to be able to discern the true energy levels of those with higher levels. But even though he did not know if Zheng-Fu was telling the truth, he still chose to believe and stay by Zheng-Fu's side.

"The battle has begun! All of you, it's time to do your duties. Hurry and enter the cave before Earth Armored Bear knows. Hurry!" The middle-aged man who had brought them turned around and shouted to all the newcomers to rush into the cave right now, with a worried expression on his face, because he did not think that the plan he had prepared would go wrong like this. However, he had to continue with his plan.
