Chapter 16: Assassins?

Zhou Ji looked at the bald headless corpse in front of him. After a few breaths, he finally relaxed.

From the looks of it, he should be completely dead.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t killed anyone before. It was just that he didn’t know if the cultivators in this world would survive after their heads were chopped off. In the previous few crises, he had relied on his rich spiritual essence to directly attack with three wind blades.

The spiritual essence fluctuations in the outside world were gradually increasing. It was likely that there were people fighting outside. Under the protection of the shadows, Zhou Ji slowly leaned against the door of the buffer cabin and looked outside.

Under the bright moonlight, Zhou Ji could faintly see the situation of the battle over there. Currently, they were divided into two camps. On one side were four passengers led by a Foundation Establishment cultivator in uniform. From the looks of the uniforms of those four Foundation Establishment cultivators… they should be the Wangfang Trading Company’s floating shuttle guards. On the other side, there were Blood Eagle Fort’s troops with Blood Eagle designs on their faces.

Zhou Ji hid far away. He activated his night vision and looked for his daughter among the group of people, but he didn’t see her.

Was she captured? Or did she run away?

Zhou Ji’s heart was in a mess. At this moment, he was also at a loss.

At this moment, he heard a familiar bark.

Subconsciously, he looked at the cages scattered on the other side. Those were the places where the pets were previously stored. At this moment, the pets had obviously recovered. Each of them was so agitated by the battle spirit that they curled up in a corner and trembled. Only Little White was baring its teeth and lying on the edge of the cage, barking at that side.

With a thought, Zhou Ji hooked his finger and activated his object control spell. Little White’s cage slowly floated towards him. Little White, which was baring at the battlefield, lost its balance and fell into the cage.

Little White, which was about to continue barking, immediately quieted down when it saw Zhou Ji. It wagged its tail and whimpered. Zhou Ji, who was in a gloomy mood, was successfully amused by this guy. When he was a dog, how could he dare to bark at the battlefield? Did he cower when he saw his master? Was this personality the opposite of what he was supposed to be?

Without hesitation, he took out Xiao Rui’s pajamas from his storage bag and placed it in front of Little White’s nose. He did not care whether the little dog could understand him or not. He muttered softly, “Little White, Daddy and your sister Rui got separated. Now, our family is relying on you. You must help me find Xiao Rui…”

An ordinary dog-type creature had a sensitive nose, and it had improved even more under the nourishment of spirit essence.

Little White did not disappoint Zhou Ji’s hope. After sniffing Xiao Rui’s pajamas a few times, it struggled to land on the ground and walked towards the direction of the forest. Zhou Ji quickly blended into the shadows and followed behind it…

Outside, in the forest.

A few desolate bandits of the Blood Eagle Fort were scouting the battlefield not far away from the tree trunk. They were specially assigned here by the second-in-charge to monitor the surroundings to prevent anyone from escaping.

“What’s coming over there?”

Suddenly, the bandits who were monitoring a direction spoke up.

The three companions around him were attracted by his voice.

“Hey, don’t make a fuss. That’s a dog. It’s probably the pet of those fat bastards.”

“Should we kill this thing? The second master said that we’re not allowed to release even a fly.”

“Why don’t we bring it back to the stockade…”

“What’s the point of talking so much nonsense? Let’s just kill it and stew the dog meat at night!”

The few people on the tree crown quickly decided Little White’s fate.

However, before they could make a move on Little White, a wind suddenly blew through the treetops.

The moment the spiritual essence fluctuated, three of the four people’s heads fell off without any warning. The only early-stage Foundation Establishment bandit was left with his mouth wide open. He wanted to shout, but no words came out.

Zhou Ji’s wind binding technique was already at the pinnacle of perfection. When he was in the Qi condensation realm, he could already bind a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator for several breaths of time. Now that his spiritual essence had become more powerful, the power naturally followed.

“Did you see a little girl running over just now?”

A hoarse voice came from behind the bandit. The bandit, who was still struggling violently, immediately shook his head.

As he shook his head, he felt a cool breeze blowing past his neck and his head was shaken off.

Didn’t you see it?

Zhou Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and his heart relaxed slightly. These guys should not have come too long ago. Xiao Rui might have already run out before they formed an encirclement.

Did she run into this forest?

Looking at the direction where Little White had gone, Zhou Ji slightly disposed of the corpses so that they would not be discovered so easily. Then, he used his Breath Concealing Spell with all his strength and chased in that direction.

With Little White as bait and Zhou Ji’s own probing technique, after dealing with two fixed cards and one mobile card along the way, Little White finally stopped outside a camp far away.

Zhou Ji looked at the big flag planted on the camp with a gloomy expression.

Blood Eagle Fort.

Did Xiao Rui run here?

Without hesitation, Zhou Ji directly sneaked into the shadows and rushed into the Blood Eagle Fort.

Little White, which had remained in its original spot, still arched its nose in all directions and followed behind Zhou Ji. It only arrived after Zhou Ji had dealt with the four desolate bandits who were guarding the entrance of the camp and directly sneaked into the camp.

It circled two more times around a hundred meters away from the entrance of the camp and sniffed left and right. Little White seemed to have sensed that something was wrong and actually circled around the camp and searched behind.

Of course, Zhou Ji did not see any of this.

The combination of hundred blade Wind Control Technique and swift shadow technique made him feel as if he was in an uninhabited state at night. However, this situation did not last for long. The stench of blood in the air exposed him.

The sirens in the stronghold sounded, and more than twenty people gathered in the square. Actually, there were thirty or forty people left to guard the place. In just a short while, more than ten people had already been dealt with by Zhou Ji.

Killing people was actually not very difficult.

This was especially true in a place like planet Bai Shi Er, where most of the cultivators were Qi refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators. Although some of the spells were powerful, the cultivators themselves were as thin as paper and could be broken with a poke.

Zhou Ji hid in the dark. Under the Breath Concealing Spell, he was like a piece of dead wood, a decoration. If one did not see him directly, no one in the village would notice his existence.

At this time, he did not have any thoughts of taking action. He just quietly took a bottle of medicine to recover his spiritual essence and poured it into his mouth. There were only about twenty people. If they dared to search the entire village in three to five groups, then Zhou Ji would dare bury them all here.

“Someone just reported that thirteen of the thirty-eight people who stayed to guard here have died. The rest are all here.” The man wiped the sweat from his forehead and reported to Blood Eagle who was standing in the square. He was not strong, and his body was bloated. Under the light of the spirit lamp, one could see that his forehead was full of oil.

Blood Eagle did not say anything. He just squinted his eagle-like eyes and looked around.

Zhou Ji, who was peeping from the side, was a little nervous. He had only sneaked into a bandit’s nest in his previous life when he was playing games. This Blood Eagle was not a good guy. His eagle-like eyes should be some kind of advanced detection spell. Zhou Ji did not dare to guarantee that he would not be discovered under this spell..
