Chapter 265: Raw ores
Han Shuo immediately ducked behind a lush bush upon leaving the valley. He used his mental strength to contact the earth elite zombie and the little skeleton.
Whoosh! A thin white light gleamed under the moonlight, whizzing from within the valley to settle beside Han Shuo. This was obviously the little skeleton holding his bone knife.
The seven bone spurs had returned to the little skeleton’s back. He held the bone knife very leisurely, like a child touring a flower garden, not caring at all about the chaotic happenings in the valley. What a veteran!
After establishing contact with his mind, Han Shuo could sense the earth elite zombie swimming towards him from the depths of the valley. Ten seconds later, the ground beneath his feet loosened and the honest earth elite zombie clambered out.
“Where are they?” Han Shuo hastily asked upon seeing the earth elite zombie return.
The earth elite zombie was taken aback. He scratched his head dumbly in a moment of thought, then sank again down to the ground, going back to the valley using the same way. However, his speed was a little slower this time. Han Shuo focused his eyes and discovered that the earth elite zombie had drilled a tunnel that one person could fit in.
It seemed that the earth elite zombie had thrown everything to the wind and returned to Han Shuo when his master had called him just now, so he’d completely forgotten Trunks and the others. Only after Han Shuo’s inquiry did the earth elite zombie remember that he’d been in charge, so he used his natural talent to dig a tunnel again.
The earth elite zombie could swim freely within the earth, but Trunks and the others didn’t have this miraculous talent. Thus the tunnel was essential. The earth elite zombie was using his talents to create a passage in the valley, and thus his current speed couldn’t compare to his usual flying through the earth.
The three yin demons were quite a distance away. One was following the Cairo mercenary band’s chief Laureton. Laureton had returned to his twice berserk state now and was escaping towards the Valley of Sunshine along with the rest of the remaining Cairo experts.
Only Trunks wore a space ring amongst this bunch, even Grant and the mercenaries used bags tied around their waists. Space rings were famously expensive. These mercenaries naturally didn’t have enough gold coins to buy one.
However, Grant and the mercenaries didn’t act immediately upon Han Shuo’s instructions. They looked to Trunks, as if waiting for him to express his opinions.
“Listen to him. From now on, his commands are my commands. You guys should remember this well!” Trunks had a strict face as he carefully instructed.
“Understood!” Grant’s folks were relieved of a great burden after putting their sacks down. They hastily took the large sacks off their backs and placed them in front of Han Shuo.
The weight of these large sacks loaded with large and small broken rocks were such that an ordinary person wouldn’t be able to tolerate them. Even for these mercenaries, the way back to the Soul Destroyer mercenary base would be an unlucky, painful errand.
One white light flashed after another. All of the large and small sacks disappeared into Han Shuo’s space ring. After all was done, Han Shuo waved his hand saying, “Follow me, we’ll block Janet’s escape route. This time, we shall be the bandits and capture Janet.”
“Let’s do it like that then. I must get some clear answers!” Trunks immediately remembered Annie’s matter when Han Shuo mentioned Janet. His happy mood turned sorrowful as he shouted with a darkened face.
Two of the three yin demons had returned while the last was closely following Janet’s bandit group, paying close attention to their every move. The Soul Destroyers took a shortcut to block Janet’s way under Han Shuo’s directions, suddenly discovering some suspicious behavior from these people. Unexpectedly, Janet’s gang was laying an ambush where the House of Menlo would pass.
It seemed that Janet intended on taking advantage of the House of Menlo’s heavy losses, and make out like bandits!
