"Sorry, it's not very convenient."
Chu Feng gave an apologetic smile.
He wasn't worried about the large number of people on the other side or what they might do at night. What he was concerned about was the risk of information leaking out.
A mere Jiang Cheng was insignificant here, but the old man, the woman, and the girl in the cave were very distinctive. The Gu Family had likely already issued a bounty notice. If these people were alert, they might realize the next day and inform the Gu Family, causing significant trouble on their way back.
Jiang Cheng was also worried about this. Upon hearing Chu Feng's refusal, he gave him a grateful look.
The faces of the adventure team members changed. Some even had a menacing look in their eyes.
They had just informed these three people, but now they were treating them like they were important?
The leader of the group frowned and said again, "Are you worried that we might outnumber you and cause trouble? That's unnecessary. Our Moon Crescent Adventure Team is well-known in the Adventurer Association and would never betray you."
"Sorry, it's really not convenient."
Chu Feng still smiled and refused.
"Here's a suggestion: head north from here, about twenty kilometers. There's another cave with a giant rock blocking the entrance. You can use your Psychic energy to check it out. It's not completely dark yet, and with your strength, you should make it there in time."
"Twenty kilometers north?"
"Is that true?"
"You really believe him? He's just saying that to drive us away."
The adventure team was filled with murmurs, but no one believed Chu Feng's words. The leader, naturally, didn't believe him either.
Even ifhe were telling the truth, twenty kilometers was a long distance, especially at night. Who knew what dangers they might encounter on the way there? For example, a Beast King. Some were huge, standing like a small mountain and easily noticeable.thers were as small as a palm, making them hard to detect at night.
"Friend."
The man suppressed his anger, "This cave is unclaimed. You can enter, and so can we. You're giving me no face at all. Isn't that a bit much?"
"Right, you should know that our Moon CrescentAdventure Teamis an S-Class team, led by two or three Masters."
Someone shouted in agreement.
"S-Classadventureteam, huh."
Chu Feng couldn't help but laugh.
An S-Classadventureteam meant at least one Master in the team, though the Master's strength wasn't particularly high, ranging from first to third rank. If there was a fourth-rank Master, it would be an SS-Class team.
"What are you laughing at?"
Seeing Chu Feng's expression,one shouted.
"Nothing, I just suddenly thought of something amusing." Chu Feng shook his head. "Forget it. I don't want to argue with you anymore. I've given you anoption. Whether you take it or not is up to you. But I won't let you in here."
"How unreasonable! Captain, let's just take them on!"
"Right, we're only three, and they have so many. What are we afraid of?"
"They probably have some good stuff on them. Let's just take it all. We can't be blamed for this; we gave them a chance earlier."
"The people behind him also stopped pretending, revealing their true nature.
After all, those who venture here can't be good people.
The man at the front stretched out his hand, signaling for everyone to quiet down.
Immediately after, his gaze swept across Jiang Cheng and the other two, finally settling on Chu Feng, "Friend, I'll give you a choice too. Hand over the cave behind you, or else, don't blame us for not being polite."
"Oh?"
Chu Feng raised his eyebrows, "Then I'd like to see how you plan to be impolite to me?"
Seeing this, the leader's heart felt a bit unsettled.
From the very beginning, Chu Feng had been so calm and composed, and it didn't seem like an act.
Of course, it was also possible that he was just putting on a strong front, as showing weakness at this moment could cost him his life.
"Captain, what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
"Yeah, Captain, the surrounding beasts seem to have noticed us. If we don't find a place soon, we'll be surrounded!"
"Captain..."
The leader was also affected, and he looked around. In the pitch-black night, numerous red lanterns were visible, some as small as a fingernail, while others were as large as a watermelon. Their numbers were increasing.
"I'll count to three, and if you don't leave, we won't hold back!"
The man tightened his grip on his weapon, and his gaze turned sharp.
"Three."
Chu Feng remained calm and quiet, a faint smile on his face.
"Two."
Everyone gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes gleaming with bloodlust.
"One."
As soon as the countdown ended, a group of people charged forward.
"Xinyin."
Chu Feng's words had just fallen.
A buzzing sound rang out, and in an instant, Jiang Cheng's entire body was covered in goosebumps. He felt a cold light flash from the cave behind him, and then it flew back in.
In front of the cave, more than a dozen people froze in place, each with a fist-sized bloody hole in their throats.
"Thump."
"Thump."
After a second, more than a dozen corpses fell to the ground.
"Alas, what a pity."
Chu Feng sighed and waved his hand. The dozen corpses were thrown out like rag dolls, more than a hundred meters away. After a moment, from the depths of the darkness, came a bone-chilling chewing sound.
"Heaven's sins may be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins are unforgivable."
Qin Lao also sighed, "It's the leader who not only showed them a way to live but also endured repeatedly. He waited for them to make the first move before taking action. If it were someone else, they would have attacked them long ago. But these people are not good people, and it's better that they're dead."
He turned to Jiang Cheng, "Jiang Xiaoxiong, don't think that these people hunting beasts have nothing to do with us. In fact, they would also target us, kill us, and plunder our possessions.
Over the past few decades, more people have died at their hands than those who died at the hands of the dog-legged men. Many of our strongholds were also destroyed by them. So, if you encounter these people in the future, don't be soft-hearted."
"I understand, thank you for the reminder, Qin Lao," Jiang Cheng nodded.
Previously, in the Dawn Society, Yingbing Li had also said that adventurers who ventured deep into the mountains would suffer greatly at the hands of the Resistance Army.
Now, listening to Qin Lao, it seems that many Resistance Army members have also died at the hands of adventurers, and some adventurers even seek out Resistance Army strongholds to kill, burn, and plunder.
Indeed, every action has its consequences.
