What Do You Mean My Cute Disciples Are Yanderes? Chapter 506 - You Activated My Trap Slime!

(MC POV)

We decided to make camp a distance away from the forest when the sun started to set.

??

Gale went to hunt for ga while Brick and I were in charge of setting up camp.

We just had the fire started when Gale ca back with strips of at tied to his waist. I tried asking what those were and he said he managed to kill a boar that was roaming around the field.

Since we didn't need the whole boar, he simply cut a few pieces of its at and left the rest for the scavengers.

I wanted to ask him why he didn't try drying the rest of the at as rations but decided against it.

We sat around the fire and ate quietly, the only sounds coming from the crackling of our campfire.

I pulled out the small bone stuck in my mouth, placing it neatly on the plate beside the rest of the bones.

"So… I guess we'll be going our separate ways once we reach the town tomorrow, eh?" I comnted, leaning back.

Gale grinned, "I suppose so. It was a short trip with you but I had a great ti, nevertheless."

The hunter pulled out his waterskin and passed it to .

"This one has ale in it," He explained, seeing my raised eyebrow.

I accepted it and took a swig of it before passing it back to him. It tasted rather bitter but it had a good burn.

"I'm surprised how you handle those goblins though," Brick remarked, pulling out his sword and a whetstone to sharpen it. "I admit I thought I would have needed to save you there."

I chuckled, "Let's just say that I was trained well. But if it weren't for you two, I may have been in a bit of trouble there."

"Hahaha! You're definitely being modest there Jeff!" Gale laughed.

I grinned while pulling out one of my dicine bottles, shaking a few tablets out of the bottle.

"Digestive pills, want so? They're quite sour though," I offered.

Both of them shook their heads.

I shrugged and tossed a pill into my mouth, swallowing it.

Brick took out his own waterskin and popped open the cap, "You got any family, Jeff?"

"I don't," I lied. "The roads are all I've known my entire life."

"Huh… Isn't it sad that if you were to die on the road, there wouldn't be anyone to mourn you? Never thought of settling down sowhere? Don't you miss the warmth of a good ho?"

I shrugged, "Can't miss what you never had. Besides, that's technically what I'm going to the capital for."

Both of them nodded in understanding.

"What about you two?" I asked.

Brick shrugged, "We're kind of the sa. Both of us were orphans in the sa orphanage. We have a bunch of friends that we stick around with and we just sort of stayed together after growing up. We only have each other to count on after all."

"Hmm, I guess you're at least fortunate to have dependable brothers. Unlike ."

The two of them looked at each other and nodded.

Brick stood from his seat and walked towards my bag. I didn't even get to ask him what he wanted before he started rummaging through my belongings, pulling them out one by one.

I frowned at him, "Hey, what the hell do you think--"

The mont I tried to stand up, I felt my legs give way, causing to collapse face first onto the ground.

Gale ca up and pulled off the ground, dumping back in my seat unceremoniously.

"Sorry Jeff, but you only got yourself to bla for trusting strangers that easily," He smirked at .

He stood up and whistled, prompting another group of four n to show up, all of them ard.

"Yo Gale, Brick, how's our little friend?" One of them asked.

Brick took out my coin purse and showed them the contents, "We hit the motherlode boys!"

All of them took one look at the purse that was filled with silver and imdiately cheered.

I could only glare at them as they began digging through the rest of my belongings, ignoring the paralysed .

"No need to glare at us like that Jeff, you really should know better. So kind of wanderer you are," Brick laughed.

"Who knew a wanderer could actually be this loaded eh? Maybe I should be one too!" One of them joked.

"So what are we going to do with him?"

Gale chuckled, "Just kill him. He's a nobody, no one will miss him."

"Righto!"

Brick drew his sword and sauntered up to , "Heh, we're good friends eh? Ah, you can't talk because of the paralysis poison. Well, no matter. Hey, at least I'm saving you from being ridiculed at the capital city you know? Hopefully your next life will be better!"

He raised his sword and slashed at my neck, only for the blade to shatter upon impact.

Everyone turned to look at , stunned by the sound.

I sighed and stood up, "Thanks Xun Guan."

Brick furrowed his brows at , "You… You should not be able to move."

I cracked my neck, "Yeah… About that. You were right about one thing though, I never trusted you. That digestive pill? It was a healing pill that would have countered your paralysis poison. I knew you guys were not who you say you were, just that I don't actually know if you were big shots or just so naless bandits."

Everyone else drew their weapons and moved to surround .

Gale nocked an arrow and pointed it at my chest, "Before we kill you… I'd just like to know what gave us away?"

I grinned at him, "Well, first of all, that bag of yours was obviously stolen given how you weren't used to carrying both it and your bow and had to make adjustnts to your straps to accommodate it. My guess is that you robbed soone else before eting . Then there's that 'boar' at you said you hunted. Pretty sure I don't rember seeing any boars with that small of a bone inside it. You probably went to your mates to get them instead, didn't you?"

All of them glanced at the plates that had small bones leftover on them. Obviously these at were from so sort of small ga, not a large boar.

I continued, "You obviously aren't a tracker either, given your lack of knowledge for hunting. You didn't even try to hide your scent before you went out to hunt on an open plain for crying out loud. And if you were, you'd at least bring so extra at back to be dried as rations. But of course, there's the goblins."

Brick frowned, "What about them?"

"They were obviously running away from sothing, probably chased by your friends here to co towards us. I'd guess your initial plan was to let get killed or wounded by them and if failing that, use them to gauge my strength. Did I get it right so far?"

"Impressive, but you still failed here, now die."

Gale loosed his arrow and the projectile hit in the chest.

Instead of penetrating , it simply bounced off harmlessly and clattered to the floor.

I raised my eyebrow, "Really? You guys saw how his sword shattered when he tried to cut my neck right? What makes you think this is going to work?"

Brick cracked his knuckles, "It's obvious you're using a protection charm. We just need to hit you enough tis for it to wear out."

I rolled my eyes at their stupidity, "Say… You said only females can cultivate right?"

None of them answered but instead got ready to fight.

I shrugged, "Xun Guan, I'll leave them to you."

The cloak around lted away to form into Xun Guan, the sli girl glaring at the people around her with clear hatred.

The n cried out in shock upon the sli girl's appearance, their shock turning into fear when she summoned orbs of water around her.

"How should I deal with them, Master?"

I took silent pleasure at seeing them gape at her calling that.

"Find out what they know. No need to be kind, they are nobodies after all. No one will miss them."

"Yes, Master."

I turned my back on them and busied myself with putting my things back in the bag, tuning out the screams of pain behind .

Have the people here always been this stupid?
