Chapter 165: Chapter 143: The Origin of the Change (4K Combined)_2
Wuyin Village, in front of the Su Family’s Old Mansion.
The morning sun cast a golden glow, as hundreds of mbers of the Hunting Group stood in neat formation, their armor bright, weapons gleaming, creating an aura of solemnity and magnificence that shot straight to the sky.
Su Lin t the inquisitive gazes of everyone with composure, placed two fingers to his lips, and blew a sharp whistle that pierced through the clouds!
"Whew—!"
As the whistle faded, a dense and ominous buzzing suddenly erupted from within the courtyard of the Su Family’s Old Mansion!
Following swiftly, cold tallic figures shot forth!
Thirty of them!
A full thirty!
Their whole bodies covered in yellow and black tal shells, compound eyes shining with inorganic red light, two pairs of transparent mbrane wings vibrating at high speed, emitting a slight hum.
The most alarming was their pair of sharp stingers, like knight’s lances, shimring with a cold gleam!
These tal giant bees, about the size of an adult’s lower leg, ford a trained aerial legion, instantly assembling in the sky, arrayed in a neat and nacing formation, hovering over everyone’s heads, casting an oppressive shadow!
Sunlight reflected off their smooth shells and sharp stingers, refracting a terrifying glow!
"These, these are...?!" Liu Jun’s pupils contracted to the extre, staring intently at the giant bees emanating a powerful aura.
An unbelievable thought crashed into his mind, making him unable to control his trembling lips.
Su Lin, eting the shocked, bewildered, and slightly frightened gazes, announced loudly, his voice clearly reaching everyone’s ears:
"Tier One chanism - Giant Beast-Hunting Bee swarm! This is a gift prepared by our Su Family for today’s Hunting Lord!"
"Giant Beast-Hunting Bee—!!!"
Liu Jun finally scread in shock, his voice sharp and piercing due to the extre astonishnt.
He even jumped on the spot, causing his gray beard to tremble.
This exclamation was like setting off a powder keg, instantly turning the previously silent square into chaos!
"Giant Beast-Hunting Bee? Isn’t that the Tier One chanism Blueprint that Xu Zhong from Quanzhou Village spent everything to buy?!" Ye Xin’an’s jaw almost dropped to the ground, his eyes widened.
"Tier One?! Our village really has a Tier One chanism?!"
"My God! So many?!"
"Was it... was it snatched from Xu Zhong?!"
"Or is it..."
Countless eyes, filled with imnse curiosity and hidden fervor, all turned again to the venerable Su Can like he was a war god.
"Old Sir... after you returned yesterday, you didn’t actually go to Quanzhou Village and snatch Xu Zhong’s blueprint, did you?!"
A team mber couldn’t help but shout out the most absurd yet likely guess in everyone’s minds.
As soon as this speculation arose, there was an uproar among the crowd, and the looked at Su Can with even more reverence.
Just as the hubbub reached its peak, a sentry from the village entrance squeezed through the crowd, breathless, trying to report to Su Qi but was instantly captivated by the deadly bee swarm hovering above, leaving him in a stupor.
"What is it?" Su Qi slightly furrowed his brow, and in a flash, he stood before the sentry.
The sentry snapped back to reality, hurriedly bowed, his voice filled with uncertainty:
"Report! Second Grandfather Su! Xu Zhong from Quanzhou Village... Squad Leader Xu, he has personally arrived! Right at the village entrance!"
"Hiss..."
Everyone collectively gasped!
Liu Jun nearly pulled out a bunch of his own beard, flabbergasted: "My heavens! This... is this him coming to confront us after being robbed?!" His gaze at Su Can was filled with complex emotions of disbelief and admiration.
Having recently led his team to join Wuyin Village, now serving as the three-team leaders of the Hunting Group, Zhou Long and Chen Feng exchanged a glance, their expressions quite remarkable.
So much for saying Old Su was respected and righteous?
Instead, he went and swiped the man’s belongings?
However...
It was a good grab!
Zhou Long and Chen Feng’s faces were elated.
That was a Tier One chanism Blueprint!
If you can snatch it, why not snatch it?
Both had been wanderers for years and had been sowhat concerned about Su Can being overly righteous.
But after seeing this—hey! Not bad! He’s got the makings of a wanderer!
Before everyone had digested the news of Xu Zhong’s arrival, another sentry rushed over:
"Old Su! Second Grandfather Su! Outside the village... several groups of people just arrived! Lanfeng Village, Xinlong Village... and other village leaders, all brought people along!"
"What?!"
This ti Liu Jun really pulled a few precious whiskers, whipping his head around to stare at Su Can with eyes that seed to behold a notorious villain, his voice was tinged with accusation:
"Old Su! You... robbing one Xu Zhong wasn’t enough, did you loot throughout the whole East District?!"
"What nonsense." Old Su Can’s face darkened from the accusation, snorting with displeasure.
Seeing this, Su Lin couldn’t help but grin slightly, stepping forward to uphold his grandfather’s reputation, his voice clearly projecting across the entire crowd:
"Everyone, please calm down and stop guessing wildly. The blueprint to create these Beast-Hunting Bees is not from the one held by Xu Zhong of Quanzhou Village. I acquired it through other ans."
"Ah?!!!"
Su Lin’s words were like throwing cold water into a frying pan, instantly eliciting a larger wave of shock!
Two identical top-tier Tier One chanism Blueprints appearing simultaneously in the village-scale wilderness of the East District in such a short ti?!
This probability is almost more desperate than getting hit by teors twice in a row!
After finishing his explanation, Su Lin turned his gaze to Su Qi and asked seriously:
"Second Uncle, can you invite outsiders to help with lord hunting?"
"As long as you have the ability, you can invite even city-level big nas, no problem," Su Qi replied.
The uncle and nephew exchanged a glance, guessing the purpose of the village leaders’ arrival.
Su Qi said casually:
"Yesterday, Xu Zhong sent so gifts to the Su Family."
Su Can chuckled, the smile carrying a hint of self-mockery:
"Once you succeed, there are good people everywhere."
"Stop lanting, you’ve lived most of your life this way, haven’t you figured it out yet?"
Su Qi’s words left the old man speechless.
Having said all that needs to be said for the Hunting Lord expedition, with their morale already stirred by the old man and the Beast-Hunting Bees, Su Qi let the old man lead the team on the expedition.
The Hunting Group realized Su Qi’s aning.
Those village leaders ca to Wuyin, not because Old Su robbed them of sothing!
But to seek the help of Wuyin Village to solve the lord!
Only Wuyin Village has the ans to deal with the lord that other villages cannot resolve!
The Hunting Group’s morale surged again, their reverence for the old man grew fiery.
Adding to that was Young Master Lin’s Giant Beast-Hunting Bees.
Everyone suddenly realized with shock that their own village had surpassed other villages at the sa level by so much?!
Zhou Long touched the scar on his damaged eye and laughed quietly:
"Unexpectedly, just seeking a good place to settle, yet encountered so many surprises."
"Indeed."
Chen Feng pushed up his glasses, nodding in agreent.
But his gaze was not on the spirited old man but instead on a certain low-profile young man.
"Captain... oh, now should be called Team Leader Zhou. Team Leader Zhou, don’t you think the changes in the Su Family are inseparable from another person?"
"That Young Master Lin?"
Zhou Long’s gaze also shifted over.
Su Lin, sensing the gaze, looked back and saw it was Zhou Long and Chen Feng, smiling and nodding.
Both respectfully bowed with clasped fists.
After their gaze ended, a deep contemplation flashed in Zhou Long’s one eye:
"Thinking carefully, the downfall of Zhong Wubin’s faction in Wuyin Village also happened after Young Master Lin’s ergence, and it’s said the herb that cured Old Su was found by him."
Chen Feng continued:
"The hive of Giant Beast-Hunting Bees is also his. Song Yiyi has beco his tenant, and the background of her little sister seems significant, even capable of conversing with brigades; she wouldn’t have beco Young Master Lin’s tenant without her sister knowing."
He paused, eyes suddenly showing a bit of apprehension and fear:
"Moreover, Team Leader Zhou, haven’t you noticed? Another tenant in Young Master Lin’s house, her looks, apart from being younger, are almost... identical to the person that guy was searching for!"
Zhou Long’s pupils suddenly shrank, a chill running down his back.
