Experienced, But No Match for a Team of Idiotic Teammates

Upon hearing this, Old Hala was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look towards Snake Mountain. Upon closer inspection, Old Hala's face turned deathly pale!

"Oh no, they've found us!! But... how is that possible? We're definitely going against the wind!?" Old Hala cried out in a sharp voice, filled with doubt and a hint of excessive fear.

With a terrified scream, everyone else also looked intently towards Snake Mountain...

While ordinary people might not be able to see clearly, the students from the European Academy, Tang Miao and his group, and the hired Hunter Mage all clearly noticed that more and more snakes were rolling down and falling to the ground. The entire Snake Mountain was also beginning to disintegrate, turning into hideous bodies writhing on the ground. What was even more terrifying was that they were all rapidly crawling towards them!

When snakes move, their scales reflect light, and the writhing of a large group of snakes makes the ground shimmer like a lake, but this is not beautiful at all; instead, it is terrifying!

"What's going on? Didn't you choose a path where you wouldn't be discovered? And we listened to you and rode on those Camel Beasts!" The mercenary captain, having also witnessed the horrific scene, angrily questioned him.

"I don't know... It shouldn't be like this... It shouldn't be like this!"

Old Hala was confident in his experience and methods, believing them to be absolutely safe. However, he was truly baffled as to how he had discovered the snakes.

Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, and Old Hala suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance...

"I know, I know!!" Old Hala suddenly remembered something after smelling the scent, stared intently at Ferrero, and shouted angrily, "It's all your fault! Why did you spread that perfume on them? That scent will attract all the female snakes, and once the female snakes come, the male snakes will naturally all follow!"

"My Wonder Flower Dew can repel Demon Beast, how could it possibly attract Demon Beast!?" Ferrero was immediately annoyed upon hearing this. He didn't understand why he was being made to take the blame.

He wasn't just kindly offering someone his family's secret-recipe Wonder Flower Dew; you see, it's extremely effective at warding off Demon Beast.

"Your Wonder Flower Dew probably contains added chlorine powder. The smell of this stuff is very similar to our medicinal herb realgar. I think the snakes, who are sensitive to smells, caught this scent..." Just then, the reserved but secretly passionate Mu Bai spoke up.

"Mu Bai, could you have said such crucial information earlier next time?" Zhao Manyan complained immediately upon hearing this.

Tang Miao had just been thinking she'd forgotten something, and now, hearing them mention it, she immediately remembered. The reason she'd lost that lousy perfume was because it attracted snakes!

Later, because of the relationship between that Oni and that idiot, I forgot about it...

Before Mu Bai could even speak, the mercenary captain said in utter despair, "What's the point of worrying about this now... It's all over, completely over!!!"

In despair, the mercenary captain glared fiercely at Ferrero, but it was just a glare. There was no way he could win; the difference between Intermediate Mage and Advanced Mage was simply too great...

The merchant was equally desperate. Having lived here for so many years, how could he not know what it meant to be targeted by Snake Mountain? Even if Cairo sent troops to protect them, they might not be able to get them safely into the city!

Many of the women who initially had a good impression of Ferrero suddenly had a negative opinion...

In their anxiety, some were even considering abandoning the Camel Beast and fleeing for their lives...

"Don't get off the Camel Beast! No matter what, don't get off!!" Old Hala shouted urgently when he saw several women already jumping off the Camel Beast to run away in fear.

If we were to go underground now, we would not only be facing the swarms of snakes rushing from Snake Mountain, but we would also attract the attention of the Scorpion Demon underground.

"If we don't run, are we just going to wait here to die? These Camel Beast are so slow!" several uncles said.

"We'll do our best to protect you once we've taken the money, but if you don't follow the rules and attract more Demon Beast that we can't handle, then I'll kill you before the Demon Beast even arrive!" Chad, the mercenary captain, was desperate, but he still retained a sliver of will to live, so when he saw these people like this, he immediately gave them a cold warning.

An old mercenary is an old mercenary; with just one sentence, he silenced those who didn't know the situation and prevented chaos from breaking out.

Seeing that these people had indeed stopped moving, he looked at Ferrero. Although he hated the man, survival was the most important thing at this moment. He then said in a very unfriendly tone, "Do you still have that kind of women's perfume?"

Although Ferrero disliked his way of speaking, he knew he was the culprit who had caused the trouble, so he replied, "Yes!"

Give them all to me!

"For you?" Ferrero was puzzled. Just moments ago, these people had looked at him with hatred because of his Wonder Flower Dew, so why were they asking him for it now?

"Stop talking nonsense and give it to me now!" Chad had lost his patience, and his tone became unfriendly.

Ferrero felt utterly annoyed today! First, Tang Miao gave him a beating, and he could forgive himself for not intervening with his teacher, but now an Intermediate Mage dared to treat him like this?

But before he could get angry, the instructor in charge Oni, said, "Give it all to him."

Ferrero dared not disobey his teacher's orders, and suppressing his anger, he gave all the Wonder Flower Dew to Chad.

Chad then began to draw a Star Map in the pale moonlight. After he finished, Ironclad Beast with three horns on its head appeared before them.

"Moo~!!!"

The Ironclad Beast was right beside Chad. It slowly lowered its head, and Chad reached out and gently stroked its horns. His face was full of remorse, and he repeatedly muttered, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry, old friend..."

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, Chad quickly opened all the Wonder Flower Dew and poured them onto different parts of the Ironclad Beast, even making Ironclad Beast drink three or four bottles...

The group, who had been harboring doubts, suddenly understood the captain's intentions.

"Your decisiveness is indeed respectable, but these snakes don't like Ironclad Beast. In the end, they'll just be sacrificing themselves in vain."

Just as Chad's teammates were also looking at their captain with heartache, Tang Miao calmly interrupted this touching scene.
