Chapter 48



Chapter 48 The Top-Ranked Mercenary,Is He a Ghost?(5)

This place was close to some mining areas,and even at night,the sounds of mining could be heard from afar.

Numerous mining slaves carried shovels and baskets,moving back and forth like ants.

Many of the mining slaves noticed Jiang Minghan’s figure but remained indifferent.They turned and continued digging deeper into the mines.

Jiang Minghan gazed at the distant mining area,but sensing something,he frowned,”Why would a force approach here so stealthily at night?”

“Sister Yu,do you think hiding in this godforsaken place,no one will find us?”

“I heard this mining area is haunted.Many mining slaves at night hear strange noises and uncontrollably head deeper into the ancient mine,hearing the sounds of bones being chewed…”

“You know I get scared easily.I used to get terrified watching ghost movies,and now you bring me to hide in this place…”

Deep within the mining area,a petite yet incredibly curvy figure was muttering.

Her face was covered in dirt,holding a shovel and tapping aimlessly.

The woman named Sister Yu beside her looked much calmer.

Her face was equally dirty,with random smudges,but her eyes were exceptionally bright and clear.

“Shao Yue,if you keep muttering,someone will hear us,and I won’t be able to save you…”

Sister Yu knocked on the girl’s head with her delicate hand,shaking her head helplessly,”Those cultivators are powerful,capable of flying and teleporting.No matter how quietly you speak,they can hear you.”

“Oh,I get it.I’ll be quieter.How long do we have to hide here?”

“If I had known,I wouldn’t have traveled to all those haunted places.Now we’re stuck here,and I just want to go home.This world is too dangerous…”

“So many people died that day.I watched them get torn apart by terrifying beasts.When I close my eyes,that’s all I see.”

“Ugh,ugh,ugh…”

The girl named Shao Yue clung to Sister Yu’s sleeve,looking pitiful,”Sister Yu,maybe we should stop running?We’ve been running for so long,and I heard they come from a very powerful force.We’ll be caught eventually…”

“If they catch us,our fate will be worse than death.”

“Do you remember Song Yan and the others?”

Sister Yu,whose full name was Wang Yu,shook her head and spoke maturely and steadily.

Although Shao Yue called her”sister,”she wasn’t much older,only twenty-one years old.

The girl in front of her,whose full name was Zhao Shao Yue,was a childhood friend she was very close to.

“Song Yan?If it weren’t for that hateful person exposing your secret,you wouldn’t be hunted down.So despicable.”

“I used to feel sorry for her and even spoke on her behalf to the Huan Yan Ancient Sect to take her in,but she repaid kindness with betrayal…”

“But evil will be rewarded with evil.She’s probably been eaten by those beasts by now.Serves her right.”

Zhao Shao Yue ground her teeth angrily,her mouth revealing small sharp canines.

Hearing this,Wang Yu chuckled,”Your talent is so good.Even if you stayed at the Huan Yan Ancient Sect,you could have become a powerful cultivator.Why follow me and get hunted…”

“I don’t care.If it weren’t for you,Sister Yu,I would have been eaten by beasts in that forbidden zone,the Fallen Dragon Valley.”

“By the way,I didn’t know you were so skilled,Sister Yu.What did you do all those years abroad?”

Zhao Shao Yue asked curiously.

Although they had known each other since childhood,she had no clue what Wang Yu had been doing abroad.

If it hadn’t been for Wang Yu,they wouldn’t have survived the plane crash,crossed the primeval forest,and come to this strange world.

“Abroad,huh…”

Wang Yu smiled and said,”If I told you I was a mercenary,would you believe me?”

“Ah…”

Zhao Shao Yue’s eyes widened in disbelief,”Sister Yu,you were a mercenary all those years abroad?”

“Yes.”

Wang Yu nodded.In fact,she wasn’t just a mercenary;she had become the top-ranked mercenary king.

But she didn’t plan to tell Zhao Shao Yue this,fearing it would scare her.

“You’re so skilled,Sister Yu.I don’t believe you can’t cultivate.And that dragon egg you ate…”

“I heard it’s powerful.Even a bit of it can transform a person.You ate the whole egg and nothing happened.”

“That Huan Yan Ancient Sect elder must be blind,calling you a waste body,destined not to cultivate,hmph…”

Zhao Shao Yue grumbled,wrinkling her small nose.

“Song Yan leaked that information,leading to me being hunted.That force seems terrifying,standing at the world’s pinnacle,related to dragons…”

Wang Yu felt helpless.

She didn’t know why she impulsively ate the egg back then,and nothing happened afterward.

“Sister Yu,is that an immortal?Why is there an immortal in this haunted place at night?”

Suddenly,Zhao Shao Yue’s surprised voice rang out,her beautiful eyes widening,”Wow,that’s what I imagine an immortal brother to be like.But could someone that handsome be a ghost?”

Hearing this,Wang Yu followed her gaze and saw a stunning figure.

On a distant hill stood a tall figure in white robes,the moonlight thin,the distant light and coldness making him look like a legendary banished immortal.

Noticing their gaze,the figure in white looked over.

Wang Yu quickly lowered her head,whispering,

“He shouldn’t be one of the people hunting us,but why is he here at night?”

“Dressed like mining slaves,he shouldn’t notice us.”

“I smell trouble…”

Before she could finish speaking,her expression changed.She heard heavy footsteps from a nearby mine,indicating that those hunting them had arrived.
