Chapter 948: Greenhaze Aboriginals

Translator: Lordbluefire

In the camp, everyone rose when they heard the commotion.

“Don’t act recklessly. Ziyu, Murong, take care of the students. Jiang Leng and Helian, come with me.”

After Sun Mo made the arrangement, he already rushed toward the west.

“I’ll go take a look too!”

Li Ruolan took out her image-recording stone and chased after Sun Mo. She didn’t want to miss out on such a huge show. Bai Xiqing didn’t speak, but her speed was even quicker.

At the creek area, that monkey stood on a stone. It carried its stone spear and was roaring in a threatening manner at the upper levels of the creek..

“Zhiruo, what’s wrong?”

Sun Mo rushed over. He then heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhiruo was fine. She had most probably only cried out because her water sack had been toppled over.

“I saw a monster.”

Lu Zhiruo pulled on Xuanyuan Po. “Teacher, quickly persuade Xuanyuan Po. He wants to chase it.”

“Xuanyuan, have you gone crazy?” Sun Mo roared, “Do you have any sense of the larger picture?”

“That’s a new species. I’ve never seen it before.”

Xuanyuan Po explained. After that, he called out to Lu Zhiruo who was hugging his arm. “Release me, it is going to disappear soon.”

The combat addict was still quite rational and knew that Lu Zhiruo was doing this for his own good. Otherwise, he would have given the papaya girl two punches.

“You are not allowed to go. That monster is injured and would surely fight like an animal at bay.”

Lu Zhiruo persuaded. “Besides, from the looks of things, it was fleeing from someone or something. We still have no idea who or what was pursuing it. What if you got involved in this?”

“What monster?”

Li Ruolan was curious.

“A monster that’s nearly two meters tall and lush-green in color. It has a leopard-like tail and pointed ears. Its eyes are very big and its hair is braided.”

Lu Zhiruo gesticulated. There was a hint of excitement and curiosity amidst her nervous look.

She had read some documents about some demi-humans living in the Darkness Continent. They resembled humans a lot, but there were some differences. Hence, they were known as demi-humans.

The number of these demi-humans were low and they were very rare. Hence, each and every one of them was extremely expensive because those high-ranking teachers were willing to pay huge sums of money for the sake of researching them.

Some top-level nobility like kings from various countries also wanted to buy them. After buying one, they could use the demi-human as a thing to flaunt their wealth and authority.

Naturally, some were interested in buying demi-humans simply for the sake of collection.

In any case, knowledge of demi-humans was so obscure that people with insufficient status had definitely never heard of them before, let alone having seen one.

“Lush-green? Pointed ears? Could they be aboriginals wearing adornments instead?”

Li Ruolan frowned.

In the Nine Provinces, even now, there were aboriginals in deep mountains and forests with various customs.

Some would insert feathers in their hair and paint totems of various colors on their bodies, wearing bones or accessories made of stone, etc.

Hence, it might be possible that the papaya girl had seen it wrongly.

“Nope, he is definitely a demi-human.”

The papaya girl was anxious. After she spoke, she saw Li Ruolan and the others having dumbfounded looks on their faces.

“Demi-humans? What are those?”

Bai Xiqing didn’t understand.

“Eh!”

Lu Zhiruo knew that she had divulged something by mistake. After sneakily casting a glance at her teacher, she felt that since these two women were her teacher’s friends, they could be considered family too. Hence, she explained, “They are a type of lifeform in the Darkness Continent that resembled humans. You guys please do not spread this information out.”

“Demi-humans?”

Bai Xiqing clearly had never heard of this concept before.

“What family does this papaya girl belong to? She actually knows such a secret?”

Li Ruolan was surveying Lu Zhiruo with shock. Because she was a reporter, Li Ruolan had interacted with many people before. Hence, she knew that there would always be secrets in every circle, and people at the bottom layer would have no way of finding out.

When Lu Zhiruo saw that even her teacher didn’t understand, she began to explain patiently.

“A few hundred years ago, there were many tribes of demi-humans living in the bottom level of the Darkness Continent. But since they were being hunted and killed for various reasons, they either had to wait for extinction or relocate to higher levels of the Darkness Continent. According to my father, if you wish to see demi-humans now, you have to head to at least the fourth-level of the Darkness Continent.”

Si~

After hearing this, both Li Ruolan and Bai Xiqing inhaled a breath of cold air.

In the great teacher world, after so many years, everyone managed to conclude some rules.

For example, for the fourth-level of the Darkness Continent, if great teachers wished to enter and explore there, they had to be 6-star great teachers at the very least. Also, their cultivation bases must not be any lower than the sixth level of the Longevity Realm.

This requirement would not only allow one to have the capabilities to protect themselves, but it would also ensure that they wouldn’t become burdens to others.

“Teacher, there’s no more time to talk nonsense. Let’s chase him[1] quickly!” Xuanyuan Po urged.

“Where did he run to? Zhiruo, return and inform the others. I’ll go take a look.”

After Sun Mo spoke, he got the papaya girl to point out the direction as he chased after in pursuit.

“Teacher, I’ll lead.”

Xuanyuan Po was dauntless and wanted to be the first.

Sun Mo felt a headache. He knew that even if he told Xuanyuan Po to return, the latter would surely sneakily follow him.

(Sigh! This student is truly so troublesome.)

“Sun Mo, don’t you feel that you are too overprotective of them?”

The system reproached, “For this type of adventure, life and death should be left to their fate. If they died or got crippled, it simply meant that they were unlucky. There’s no need for you to be so concerned about them.”

Sun Mo also understood that if one didn’t experience the storm, how could they see the rainbow afterward? However, he couldn’t steel his heart and be so ruthless.

“I’m going too!”

Bai Xiqing chased after. Li Ruolan naturally felt reluctant to show any weaknesses.

“You guys…”

Lu Zhiruo also wanted to go, but she didn’t dare to defy Sun Mo’s instructions. She was extremely anxious. “Oh right, I should look for Eldest Martial Sister. She would surely have a solution.”

Sun Mo chased frantically for five minutes but still couldn’t find any traces of his target. He couldn’t help but feel some trepidation.

Luckily, there was a type of blue liquid on the ground. This should be the blood of the aboriginal that flowed from his wounds. Sun Mo depended on this for tracking and didn’t lose his way.

15 minutes later, Sun Mo heard the gushing sounds of flowing water. If there were no surprises, there should be a huge waterfall in front.

Also, faint sounds of fighting also drifted over.

“Don’t let it flee!”

“What is this?”

“Haha, can this be considered as guarding a tree-stump, waiting idly for rabbits to show?”

When Sun Mo rushed out from the forest, he saw a group of teachers and students surrounding a green-skinned aboriginal at the side of a creek. They didn’t attack, but it wasn’t because they were worried they were not a match. Instead, they were worried that their attacks might kill it.

After all, a living darkness species would be more valuable compared to a dead one.

Swish~

The moment Sun Mo appeared, the gazes of those teachers and students immediately turned to him and their gazes were filled with wariness.

Sun Mo saw that fleeing aboriginal. As expected, his appearance was almost the same as what the papaya girl had described. His upper body was naked. Other than a wide range of tribal tattoos, there was some sort of jewelry around his neck made from beast horns, shells, and even the toe bones of some ferocious beasts.

His lower body was clad in a beast skin skirt, and he was wearing straw sandals. He must have lost his weapon and only had a bow left, but there was no quiver of arrows.

He was currently baring his teeth and issuing low roars from his throat. He really looked like a cornered beast that was ready to fight.

“Damn, this prey belonged to Sun Mo!”

Huang Chao saw Sun Mo and cursed silently under his breath.

“So what if it belonged to Sun Mo? Now that this souvenir has fallen into this daddy’s hand, no one should think about snatching it away!”

Zhang Shihua scolded. He pointed to the school insignia before his chest, and there were five stars above it. He was considered a major character.

“Teacher Zhang is imposing!”

Huang Chao laughed and flashed a thumbs-up.

Honestly speaking, this was an aboriginal of the Darkness Continent, so how valuable must it be? Even if it belonged to someone else, others would surely covet and want to snatch it. However, Sun Mo’s fame was truly too great.

Huang Chao was merely a 3-star great teacher and was already 40 years old.

Although becoming a 3-star great teacher at such an age was not too bad, he was basically trash when compared to Sun Mo.

Hence, Huang Chao didn’t dare to offend a new rising superstar like Sun Mo.

Although Zhang Shihua sounded very tough and unyielding, he also felt dread with regard to Sun Mo deep in his bones. He hesitated for a while before lunging toward the green-skinned aboriginal.

He wanted to capture it first so he would have a share of it no matter what happened in the end.

“Attack together!”

Zhang Shihua spurred his group to attack together.

The green-skinned aboriginal made weird sounds. He should be cursing them. He no longer had arrows and could only use his bow as a club.

“This fellow really has tough skin and thick muscles!”

Huang Chao cursed. His sword slashed over, but he only caused a little wound.

“Teacher, we should quickly attack too!”

Xuanyuan Po urged.

“No rush!”

Sun Mo held Xuanyuan Po back. He wanted to observe the situation first. Otherwise, even if they managed to snatch the green-skinned aboriginal from these people, they probably had to handle the pursuit from the aboriginal tribe.

“They are people from the Swallowsea Academy.”

Li Ruolan reported in a low voice, “The leader is named Zhang Shihua. He is proficient in medical arts and alchemy and can be considered a little famous.”

That aboriginal was tall and very strong. Besides, he also had immense combat experience. Leaving aside the fact that he could deal with the joint attacks from these people, he even made use of the bad coordination between them to seize a blade and hack off the right arm of a great teacher.

“Kill it, there’s no need to take it alive.”

Zhang Shihua ruthlessly spoke.

The great teachers were also angered and all of them unleashed their ultimate skills. The aboriginal couldn’t defeat them and could only keep retreating toward the waterfall.

“The waterfall is so tall!”

Li Ruolan lifted her head and stared upward. She couldn’t help but sigh ruefully.

What was known as a ‘magnificent sight that flows 3,000 feet down’?

This was it!

They basically couldn’t see the top of the waterfall. Vapor pervaded the area and this area seemed like an immortal realm.

Sun Mo cast a glance over in passing and he suddenly frowned.

(Wait a minute, why do I feel that I’ve seen this waterfall somewhere before?)

Sun Mo hurriedly glanced at the surroundings.

At this moment, a shout abruptly rang out.

“Despicable people from the Swallowsea Academy, put down the prey of your grandpa and scram!”

A white-haired figure wearing golden robes floated swiftly in the air. He landed among the crowd and stuck out with his palms, forcing Zhang Shihua’s group backward.

However, when he wanted to grab that green-skinned aboriginal, another figure appeared and blocked him.

“Teacher Ma, we saw this aboriginal first, so when did it become your prey?” action

The newly-arrived figure had a mocking look on his face.

“Scram!”

Ma Hankang had a gloomy look on his face and continued unleashing attacks.

“Teacher Ma, you better appreciate face when we give you one.”

Yang Xuecai was also enraged.

“I told you to scram.”

Ma Hankang was very depressed. If it wasn’t for this Yang Xuecai, he would have long since captured this green-skinned aboriginal. When he thought of this, he decided that he might as well fight against Yang Xuecai.

“You…”

When Yang Xuecai saw this scene, anger suffused his heart. He wasn’t able to win against Ma Hankang, and that was why he wanted to talk logic. Now when he saw how unreasonable Ma Hankang was, he directly slammed a palm toward the aboriginal.

(If I cannot get it, no one should dream about obtaining it.)

Bang!

The green-skinned aboriginal’s chest was struck. He directly flung backward and landed inside the water.

His chest had sunken in. Clearly, he wasn’t going to survive.

“What have you done?”

Ma Hankang roared in anger and fought even more fiercely against Yang Xuecai.

At the lower reaches, two other school groups arrived. When they saw Ma Hankang fighting Yang Xuecai, they immediately started to fight against each other too.

“My heavens, someone will definitely die now that things are in such a state!”

Huang Chao felt his scalp turning numb.

Sun Mo didn’t care about them because he had a shocking great discovery!

[1] the aboriginal was originally described as ‘it’, changed to ‘he’ after Lu Zhiruo spoke about demi-humans
