Chapter 208 - Slaughtering Mountains

As a Ranker, Ling Xiao's perception was terrifyingly strong, and if there was even the slightest movement, he wouldn't be able to escape Ling Xiao's detection. Even if an experienced assassin were to lurk nearby, Ling Xiao would only need a short while to find them.

Firstly, he had to rely on his sharp senses to sense the existence of the killing intent. If the opponent's target was not him, Ling Xiao could also rely on his light breathing and the sounds produced by his movements to determine the opponent's location and hiding place.

When Ling Xiao decided to hike up the mountain, it was also to ensure that no one would notice his movements.

With the activation of the lightness exercise, if Ling Xiao wanted to hide his tracks, then under the entire world, not many people would be able to find out.

Standing at the top of the tree branch, Ling Xiao was naturally able to see the situation on the ground clearly.

Ling Xiao broke off an extremely small bough from the branch and then split it into three segments, after which he injected his internal energy and flung it with force.

"Puff puff puff!" With three clear sounds, three people rolled out from the hidden sentry. There was no movement. The blood below them slowly became larger, indicating that their bodies had been penetrated. That was why the blood kept leaking out.

"Three people. Two hundred and ninety-seven." Ling Xiao chuckled twice, then his figure moved, and silently disappeared from the tree branch. Even if the three of them went to see the King of Hell, they wouldn't be able to figure out how he died.

After some observation, there were only three paths to the top of the mountain. The rest were steep slopes and steep cliffs. For places that couldn't be reached, it would be useless even if a sentry was installed.

Therefore, the remaining sentries could only appear on the three paths. Ling Xiao knew that the pressure on these sentries was extremely great, not only were the physical and mental pressure too great, they would also be extremely great. As a result, they would not guard for long, and would switch shifts every so often.

Therefore, Ling Xiao decided to eliminate all of these sentries in one breath. It was because he didn't want any news of what was happening here to spread out.

The whole family had to be neat and tidy, and today, Ling Xiao was prepared to slaughter a mountain!

Occasionally, a slight breeze blew through the forest, sometimes large, sometimes small. Some of the leaves rustled in the breeze, and some of the birds could be vaguely heard. However, these sounds were very soft, indicating that there weren't many trees or birds nearby.

In just an incense's time, Ling Xiao had already gone from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain. Until now, however, the mountain was still extremely quiet, with only the sounds of leaves and birds.

Every time Ling Xiao made a move, it was mixed with the rustling and chirping of birds, causing these people who could not react in the first place to die in a baffling manner.

In fact, the other sentries nearby did not even notice that because Ling Xiao was simply too fast, he did not stop at all. Once he had killed a portion of them, he would immediately proceed with the next part of the massacre.

When Ling Xiao finally reached the top of the mountain, a strong stench of blood was spreading out from behind the forest. The pungent smell had forced a lot of the beasts to leave, but there were also some fierce wolves, tigers, and leopards who rushed over after finding the smell. They wanted to see if they could find something to eat for free.

"All the sentries, a total of forty-eight people, thus there are still two hundred and fifty people left on the mountain. Seems like the King Chu truly views Ye Lvhongji's family with importance, if not for me, the rest of them would have died countless of times." Ling Xiao turned around and looked at the empty space behind him, and could not help but sigh with emotion.

At the same time, Ling Xiao had a rough understanding of the so-called strength of the elites. It had to be said that in terms of body and spirit, these people were indeed much stronger than the regular Soldiers, but Ling Xiao's strength was even more terrifying. Facing these elites, Ling Xiao felt as though he had just killed the regular Soldiers, and it was still as easy as before.

With a leap, Ling Xiao leaped forward. After borrowing power from several times, he easily arrived at the top of the mountain, which was his final destination!

After some observation, there was a simple camp on top of the mountain. It was built out of wood and took up a lot of space. There were about six acres of land.

After some estimation, there were only a few hundred people that could be seen, and more than a hundred people that could not be found. Ling Xiao was wondering, could it be that there were not three hundred people here?

Ling Xiao continued to watch, at the sides of the area, he saw four watchtowers that had twenty people added up, and then at the bottom of the observatory, there were twenty people standing guard, there were forty people standing guard, but that made it seem like there were only around one hundred and eighty people, and there were still sixty or seventy people that had gone missing.

Soon after, Ling Xiao noticed that there was a row of wooden houses at the side of the field. It seemed to be where they lived.

Very quickly, Ling Xiao thought of a possibility, because the hidden sentry needed someone to switch shifts, they had to constantly watch over Ye Lvhongji's family, in order to prevent them from being rescued, and could only choose to switch shifts to rest.

That was why the remaining Soldiers s who had disappeared were resting in those wooden huts.

Ling Xiao did not make his move in a hurry. Instead, he circled the camp to investigate, wanting to find the place where Ye Lvhongji's family was locked up.

Just then, Ling Xiao saw a group of people neatly walk to the center of the field, there was only a small hut there, there was only a single door. Ling Xiao was curious about what they were going to do, but then he saw a group of people walk in, followed by another group of people who followed.

Seeing this scene, Ling Xiao suddenly realized what was going on, "So they dug out a dungeon here, it really was hidden deep enough."

Since he already knew the location of his target, Ling Xiao was prepared to take action. After he stretched his muscles and bones, just as Ling Xiao was about to reveal himself, a fragrant smell suddenly assaulted his nose.

"What's the situation? It's time for lunch." Ling Xiao could not help but frown and say. He did not expect that it would suddenly become noon, and that it was time to eat lunch.

Soon after, he saw all the training Soldiers s stop their movements and group up. In the corner of the field, there was a kitchen, and that was where the fragrance came from.

At this time, Ling Xiao noticed one detail, and that was that a group of people had already gone to eat. Ling Xiao counted the number of people, and there were exactly forty-eight people.

Seeing this scene, Ling Xiao couldn't help but laugh, "So these people were actually planning to eat a good meal to change shifts. Then you guys are really lucky, to be able to eat a hearty meal before dying, it smells really good, and there even seems to be Red Braised Meat.

While talking, Ling Xiao actually wanted to go eat too, it could only be said that the cook was quite capable, if not, with Ling Xiao's taste, ordinary dishes would not even catch his eye.
