NOVPUBFacing Han Biao’s invitation, Wu Bin still refused.
"Captain Han, please don’t make it difficult for me. Even if I went, I really wouldn’t be of any use."
Han Biao stared at Wu Bin for a while before he finally spoke, "Alright then, I understand."
Before leaving, Han Biao said to Wu Bin, "Wu Bin, when I get back, I will tell everyone that you can come and check the situation in the back mountain whenever you want, our people won’t stop you."
After saying this, Han Biao turned and left.
His words left Wu Bin somewhat confused and puzzled.
"What did he mean by that? He couldn’t really think that I want to go to the back mountain, could he?"
Zhu Ling glanced at Wu Bin and said indifferently, "Aren’t you planning to go? If you weren’t planning to go, you wouldn’t have asked me so many questions before."
Zhu Ling’s words left Wu Bin speechless, momentarily unsure of how to respond.
Wu Bin stood by the window for a while, where he could clearly see more people from the ninth faculty being carried down the mountain on stretchers.
These people were severely injured, covered in blood from head to toe, and looked terrifying.
After a moment of silence, Wu Bin once again asked, "Zhu Ling, if you were to take action, would you be able to handle that Cardiac Demon?"
Zhu Ling said helplessly, "I could handle it if I took action, but there’s no need for me to do that. The Cardiac Demon won’t attack us, the Dragon Clan. Most importantly, if I were to handle such trash as the Cardiac Demon, where would I replenish my expended Spiritual Power?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Bin felt it made sense. After all, although Zhu Ling was strong, relying too much on her could greatly deplete her own Spiritual Power.
If something were to happen, Zhu Ling wouldn’t be able to help him anymore.
Thinking this, Wu Bin made a decision.
Let’s try to go over and see, you support me, and if something really happens to me then you can take action, otherwise let me try alone first.
After thinking for a long time, Wu Bin finally made this decision.
He couldn’t just watch idly as the people from the ninth faculty were sacrificed; they were also living beings, and their loss would sadden others just as much as his own.
However, to prevent Han Biao and his team from noticing, Wu Bin took Zhu Ling on less traveled paths, finding a more remote place to go up the mountain
As the two of them just reached the mountain, Wu Bin smelled a strong scent of blood.
Wu Bin focused his eyes and discovered leaves on the side of the mountain path smeared with fresh blood.
Together with many signs of a recent struggle nearby, Wu Bin was certain that the previous members from the ninth faculty had encountered the Cardiac Demon here and had fought intensely with it. 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Just as Wu Bin was about to leave, he suddenly saw the familiar glowing shards.
Wu Bin quickly rushed over to pick up the shards from the grass, and at the same time, a system prompt sounded in his mind.
Ding.
[Cardiac Demon Shard*2 acquired, Cardiac Demon Manual now 50% unlocked]
It was indeed the Cardiac Demon’s shard!
Seeing the system’s prompt, Wu Bin was instantly thrilled!
These shards came just in time!
Although he had Zhu Ling’s introduction before, Wu Bin only knew that he was dealing with a Cardiac Demon, and actually didn’t know much about other things.
But now that he had collected the shards of the Heart-Eating Ghost, it meant that he could quickly obtain more information about it!
With a thought, Wu Bin conjured up a complete image of the Heart-Eating Ghost in his mind.
When he clearly saw what the complete Heart-Eating Ghost looked like, Wu Bin immediately furrowed his brows.
It quite resembled the goblins from "The Lord of the Rings," with a pointed face and cheeks, and its entire body was very dry and lean.
The limbs of the Heart-Eating Ghost were extremely deformed, resembling the limbs of some animal undergoing metamorphosis—not only long and slender but also sharply clawed.
This was also why it could easily rip open Wan Xiu, its hands could be considered sharp weapons, and underestimating it was destined to end badly.
What caught Wu Bin’s attention were two pieces of information provided by the system.
The first piece of information was that the Heart-Eating Ghost was extremely afraid of light, so it almost never came out during the day but hunted at night, targeting only humans.
The second piece of information was that the Heart-Eating Ghost itself had no heart, so aiming for its heart was pointless. To kill it instantly, one needed to attack the spine at its back, exactly at the waist.
The Heart-Eating Ghost’s waist area was very vulnerable; even if an adult were to kick it there, it could instantly paralyze the Heart-Eating Ghost, thus losing its ability to fight and move.
Wu Bin sneered.
Why didn’t the system give him two abilities? At least that would enhance his combat strength and give him a better chance when facing the Heart-Eating Ghost.
As Wu Bin thought this, Zhu Ling, who stood by his side, asked, "So, have you found anything? Do you need me to help you find where the Heart-Eating Ghost is?"
Wu Bin nodded and said, "Taking advantage of the daylight, it would be best if we could find the Heart-Eating Ghost now, the daylight is to our advantage."
Hearing this, Zhu Ling was taken aback.
"What do you mean? Are you saying that the Heart-Eating Ghost won’t come out during the day?"
"Yes, because they fear light, so I think the light must have some lethal effect on them."
Hearing Wu Bin say this, Zhu Ling was incredibly surprised.
"How do you know the Heart-Eating Ghost fears light? Who told you that?"
Wu Bin did not answer Zhu Ling’s question, as the system was now his greatest reliance, and he couldn’t let others easily know about it.
"Enough, there’s no time for chat, can you find the Heart-Eating Ghost or not?"
Seeing Wu Bin questioning his abilities, Zhu Ling didn’t waste words and simply clapped his hands.
Soon, a swarm of glowing insects gathered together.
First, they sniffed the bloodstains on the leaves, then turned golden and flew off in one direction.
Every time Wu Bin saw these insects, he was very envious.
This was the "Track for Thousands of Miles" ability!
If he could learn this skill, it would be much more convenient in the future, whether he was pursuing someone or evading pursuit.
Wu Bin couldn’t help but ask, "These insects seem quite clever, what are they called, and where did you buy them?"
Zhu Ling gave Wu Bin a look and said, "Forget it, you can’t buy these Flying Sickles. The Flying Sickles are a companion species of our Dragon Clan, dedicated to serving us."
"They can not only conduct reconnaissance but can also become weapons and directly attack enemies that are unfavorable to us when necessary."
"You are not of the Dragon Clan, so you cannot command the Flying Sickles."
