The feeling of social death made Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
Inverted Clone said helplessly, "Huo Yuhao, it's not a good habit to be distracted at such a critical time,"
Huo Yuhao admitted his mistake without hesitation. "I'm sorry! Teacher Naiya, I shouldn't have been distracted!"
Inverted Clone shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, come here first, and I will teach you how to detect the enemy's deliberate attempts to cover up their traces."
Huo Yuhao responded, then walked over obediently.
Under the guidance of Inverted Clone, Huo Yuhao discovered many subtle traces through Spiritual Detection, such as leaves that were too evenly distributed on the road, branches that were trampled under fallen leaves, and almost invisible footprints...
The more traces found, the more people were impressed by Inverted Clone, because most of the traces found that were deliberately covered up seemed extremely normal to them. If it were them, they would have missed at least 70% of the traces along the way.
Following these clues, it only took them an hour to walk out of the Wenlan Tree woods, and they found a large number of messy footprints not far away, indicating that they were looking in the right direction.
Following the trend of the footprints, they determined the approximate location of the group Death's Hand Bandit Group - down the hillside about 500 meters to the left.
"Everyone, let's change your clothes." Inverted Clone said, "Before you take action later, please confirm their identities. Once you are sure they are the Hand of Death, you don't need to remind me what to do, right?
Although everyone in the reserve team has not yet been consulted about whether they still have the idea of joining Shrek Supervisory Group, in order to prevent others from seeing their appearance and affecting their normal lives, and for safety reasons after the siege, they still need to change their clothes.
"Now that everyone is ready, let's get ready to go, Xiaotao, you are responsible for commanding the frontal battle, and I am responsible for commanding the preliminary..."
"The reserve team is under the command of Xia Linyuan."
Before Inverted Clone could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xuan Zi who walked out of the shadows.
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard that Xuan Zi actually asked Xia Linyuan to be responsible for commanding the reserve team.
Xuan Zi shouldn't he take the opportunity to avenge his personal revenge? This is the only thought in everyone's mind at the moment.
Seeing their looks, Xuan Zi couldn't tell what they were thinking. He immediately became angry, blowing his beard and staring, and asked angrily, "What? You think I will take this opportunity to avenge my private revenge?"
"I'm not so petty. With my Level 98 Super Douluo cultivation, I can crush him to death with one finger. If I hold a grudge, this kid will die in my hands countless times! And as the captain of the reserve team, this brat will command his own team members. Is there any problem?"
Everyone immediately shook their heads, indicating that they didn't have any questions.
Xuan Zi snorted coldly, seemingly very angry.
It seemed that because Xuan Zi had spoken in person, Inverted Clone couldn't say anything else, so he nodded to Ma Xiaotao, "Let's go, remember to pay attention to safety."
Remember to pay attention to safety?
Who would have thought that such heart-warming words would come from the mouth of Nyarlathotep, who has a cold temperament? Or he said it to her!
Ma Xiaotao looked at Inverted Clone blankly, then blushed, "Don't worry, teacher Naiya, although I don't know the specific cultivation level of the leader Death's Hand Bandit Group, but even if Soul Douluo comes, I am confident that I can escape."
Inverted Clone: "..."
Under the night, with their backs to the bright moon, neither Xia Linyuan nor Inverted Clone noticed the rosy color on Ma Xiaotao's pretty face.
"Ah, no, I just don't want to be responsible for collecting the bodies of any of you." Inverted Clone said dully.
"Cough, cough..." Ma Xiaotao suddenly choked on his saliva.
When others saw this scene, they couldn't help but laugh secretly.
"Why are you laughing!" Ma Xiaotao became angry and put his hands on his hips and said viciously, "What are you still doing standing there? Assemble! Get ready to go!"
A few seconds after the disciples of Inner Court took advantage of the darkness to approach the suspected camp of Death's Hand Bandit Group, Xia Linyuan followed with the reserve team.
The moment Xia Linyuan led the team away, Inverted Clone clearly saw Xuan Zi's expression instantly turned cold, his eyes full of disdain.
Inverted Clone raised a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth, pretending not to notice, and wanted to catch up with the reserve team, but before he could take a step forward, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and blocked him.
Inverted Clone looked at the owner of the hand that suddenly stretched out to block his way, and asked in pretense of surprise, "Xuan Zi, what are you?"
Xuan Zi's every move was under his watch from beginning to end, and even the moment he took off, there was nothing to hide under his eyes.
"Teacher Naiya, this inspection mission is not only to carry out our inspection duties as Shrek Supervisory Group and eliminate harm for the people. The main purpose is to give young people a trial. And I think you don't like the smell of blood, right? It's better for us not to interfere."
As Xuan Zi spoke, he patted Inverted Clone's shoulder with his greasy hands, and suddenly a disgusting greasy smell penetrated his nose.
Although he was disgusted by Xuan Zi's sudden physical contact with him, Inverted Clone's psychological quality was not compromised. He didn't even frown. He pondered for a while and asked, "But... isn't the leader of Death's Hand Bandit Group Evil Spirit Master who is at least Soul King level?"
"Evil Spirit Master's strength is almost invincible at the same level. He can still escape from Spirit Master who has crossed a large realm. The strongest among them, Ma Xiaotao, is only level 69. What if..."
Xuan Zi waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Don't worry, I just went to investigate first. That Evil Spirit Master is only at the level of Soul King, and it can't make any big waves."
"And as a student of the Shrek Academy, if you can't even deal with these little minions when there are two soul emperors taking action, it will be a disgrace to the Shrek Academy and an insult to Shrek Seven Monsters, the title that represents Shrek Academy's highest honor."
Inverted Clone looked at Xuan Zi intently, and said word by word, "With the strength of Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng hun Emperor Rank, I am very relieved, but as a saying goes, I don't know which one will come first, accident or tomorrow."
"As teachers, since we have the ability to protect their safety while also allowing them to get the trials they deserve, why should we wait until an accident occurs before regretting that we did not protect them well?"
Xuan Zi said sincerely, "Teacher Naiya, you have only been here at the Shrek Academy for more than a year. I guess you don't know much about the educational philosophy of the college. The educational philosophy pursued by the Shrek Academy has always been the survival of the fittest, and God rewards those who work hard."
Inverted Clone: Don't, don't get involved in survival of the fittest, God rewards hard work, Shrek Academy is not worthy.
"They are not newborn calves anymore. If this can't guarantee their own safety in the hands of a group of fleas-like minions, then even if they escaped today because of our protection, what if the same thing happens again? We can't protect them all the time, right?"
"The college spends a lot of resources to train them, so that students studying in the Shrek Academy are better and stronger than students in other colleges. I believe they can rely on their own strong strength to deal with all emergencies."
"Besides, aren't you and I both here now? This place is less than 500 meters away from the lair of this bandit group. If something unexpected happens inside, wouldn't they be able to hold on for even three seconds? Don't forget, they are the Shrek Seven Monsters of this and the new generation!"
Every time I talk about Shrek Seven Monsters, Xuan Zi, I always feel an inexplicable sense of pride.
Inverted Clone said indifferently, "However, these children in the reserve team have only participated in the supervision mission for the first time. The strongest among them is Xia Linyuan, who is at level 42, Soul Power Level, and the weakest, Huo Yuhao, is only at level 27."
"Moreover, Xuan Zi, you seem to have forgotten that Xia Linyuan and Huo Yuhao are both cultivated by the combined efforts of the Martial Soul Department and Soul Guidance Department The dual-line core disciple, Huo Yuhao is the owner of Ultimate Martial Soul, and Xia Linyuan is Douluo Continent's hope to resist the invasion of Abyssal Creatures."
"I know that since the conflict a few days ago, you have always disliked Xia Linyuan. If you don't like it, you don't like it. But if one of them has an accident, how should you explain to the college?"
Inverted Clone said "I am doing it for your own good" and persuaded him earnestly.
But the more he behaved like this, the more impatient Xuan Zi became, "The ones responsible for encircling and suppressing Death's Hand Bandit Group and opening the way are Inner Court disciples, and the main task of the reserve team is They are assisting Inner Court disciples. With Inner Court disciples clearing mines in front, what accident can happen to them? Those Inner Court people will be the ones who die."
"It's not like I haven't vaccinated them, and they themselves have stated that if the college needs them, they will also contribute their own strength. Casualties during the execution of tasks are inevitable."
"But we have the ability to avoid these unnecessary casualties!" Inverted Clone sighed and said, "Since Xuan Zi you trust their strength so much and think that they can cope with all emergencies with their strength, why do you drag me, who doesn't trust them, to stay with you?"
"I don't quite understand the educational philosophy of the college, but as the teacher leading this mission and signing up for the continent-wide advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament, it is my obligation to ensure the personal safety of each of them."
"Moreover, if something happens to them in the middle of the journey, I, as the teacher leading this team, have no shirking responsibility, and I don't want to see anything happen to any of them."
"They were intact when they came. I hope that when they go back, they will not only be full of glory, but also return to the academy intact. Xuan Zi, do you still want to repeat the same accident as before?"
At the end of the sentence, Inverted Clone's raised eyebrows were tightly knitted together.
After listening to his words, Xuan Zi's face instantly darkened, as if flames were about to spit out at any moment, "Naiya, what do you mean?"
Inverted Clone said calmly, "I didn't mean to uncover your scars. I just heard Xuan Zi what happened to you back then. I don't want you Xuan Zi to make the same mistakes again. If I said something unintentionally and misunderstood you, I apologize to you."
Xuan Zi said angrily, "I didn't see any unintentional intentions on your part."
Inverted Clone just looked at him and sighed, "That's it for now, Xuan Zi you believe it or not, Naiya just accept it calmly, but please forgive me Naiya for not accompanying me and taking the first step."
After saying that, Inverted Clone wanted to bypass Xuan Zi, whose face was so gloomy that he could almost drip water, and walked towards Death's Hand Bandit Group's hiding place.
"Stop!" Xuan Zi shouted at him sternly, "Believe it or not, just accept it calmly."
Inverted Clone was completely helpless, "Naiya has already apologized for his unintentional remarks. Xuan Zi, what else do you need to do to satisfy yourself?"
He could feel that Xuan Zi was staring at him, as if he wanted to peel off his skin and convulse him, thirsting for flesh and blood.
"Personally, I think we should put this matter aside for now and wait until they have completed their mission safely. Then it's up to you."
Inverted Clone shrugged his shoulders and walked out.
"I told you to stop!" As Xuan Zi roared from behind, an indescribable Soul Power wave swept towards him inexplicably, and even the ground was shaking violently.
Feeling this wave of power that was as weak as a mayfly to him, Inverted Clone curled his lips in disdain.
Two yellows, two purples, three blacks, and one red, a total of eight Spirit Rings rose from his feet. The blood-like red light suddenly spread around him with him as the center, turning half of the night red almost in an instant.
He just gave out a faint breath, and Xuan Zi's Level 98's Soul Power pressure was instantly annihilated within a five-meter radius around him.
On the surface, he was slightly inferior in the battle with Xuan Zi due to his weaker strength, but if he wanted to, he could kill Xuan Zi tens of thousands of times in an instant with just one glance.
"Xuan Zi, why bother?" Inverted Clone asked pretending to be solemn.
Xuan Zi Leng Leng said authentically, "If I don't show my power, young people don't know what it means to be a man of heaven and earth."
"Haha." Inverted Clone couldn't help but chuckle, "Xuan Zi, are you really determined to stop me?"
Xuan Zi suddenly poured a large gulp of wine into his mouth, then wiped his mouth, "So what? If you can beat me, you can do it yourself."
After he folded the meaning of Inverted Clone in half, he returned it to Inverted Clone.
"I..."
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
Inverted Clone was just about to say something when suddenly there was a violent roar in front of him.
Not good!
Hearing this violent roar, the expressions of Xuan Zi and Inverted Clone changed at the same time, and then they turned into a stream of light and rushed towards Death's Hand Bandit Group's lair not far away at full speed.
