“Bai Yujing!” A series of hurried footsteps and shouts came from the other side, breaking the standoff between Bai Yujing and Mask Mountain Ghost.
At this moment, the sounds of gunfire and fighting were heard, and Li Hao and Zhong Qiang quickly rushed toward the noise. Mask Mountain Ghost immediately changed direction and charged toward Li Hao and the others, seemingly aware that Bai Yujing was difficult to deal with and wanting to take out the others first.
“Not good!” Bai Yujing instantly recognized the opponent's intent and immediately chased after the newcomers. However, due to his injuries, he was not running fast. Given the situation, he needed to stop and recover; the longer he delayed, the worse it would be for him.
At this moment, leading the charge was A Ling, who was holding the weapon that Bai Yujing had thrown to her as she ran toward them. Unexpectedly, she encountered the approaching Mask Mountain Ghost. Before his gun could be drawn, she saw her handgun slip from her grasp and fall to the ground.
Bai Yujing's body could not be controlled by Mountain Spirit's power due to his different strength, but A Ling, being an ordinary person, was instantly overpowered by Mountain Spirit. As Bai Yujing rushed over, he saw A Ling floating in mid-air, her head twisting back in a bizarre manner. Her eyes widened in terror, but she could not stop what was happening.
Without hesitation, Bai Yujing lunged at Mask Mountain Ghost, firing rapidly. However, it seemed that Mountain Spirit had anticipated this situation; capturing A Ling was a tactic to lure Bai Yujing in. The moment Bai Yujing lunged forward, Mountain Spirit released A Ling and charged toward him.
In an instant, Bai Yujing's automatic rifle slipped from his hands. A strange look appeared in Mountain Spirit's eyes as he regarded Bai Yujing as if he were a dead man. He raised the Bronze Lantern and charged at him.
However, it seemed that Bai Yujing had already foreseen this scenario. The moment Mountain Spirit charged at him, he threw a Sonic Bomb, which rolled under Mask Mountain Ghost's feet. At that moment, Mask Mountain Ghost realized that this device had just claimed the lives of all his subordinates; he had only escaped because he had been hiding at the back. Now facing it again filled him with dread.
This was the moment that Bai Yujing had been waiting for. He had held onto this Sonic Bomb for some time, but if the opponent was prepared, it would lose its effectiveness. He needed to strike when they were off guard.
Indeed, at this moment, the opponent completely underestimated that Bai Yujing still had a trump card left. The Sonic Bomb detonated again, this time centered on Mask Mountain Ghost, sending shockwaves that knocked him to the ground.
Bai Yujing covered his ears and lay flat on the ground. As soon as the noise subsided, he quickly got up and pulled out his Dog Leg Knife from a pocket in his backpack. He bent low and dashed toward the shadow of Mask Mountain Ghost.
Looking at the Mountain Spirit lying on the ground, Bai Yujing showed no signs of mercy. With a tremendous force, he swung his blade directly at Mask Mountain Ghost's neck. At that moment, Bai Yujing saw Mountain Spirit's eyes snap open. Even the Sonic Bomb exploding beneath him could only stun him for a brief moment before he broke free with his unique strength and formidable physique.
However, it was already too late. Bai Yujing's blade had pierced through its neck, severing a grotesque head that fell to the ground.
At this point, Bai Yujing sat exhausted on the ground, blood flowing from his mouth, his face covered in blood, looking extremely frightening. The confrontation had occurred in an instant, with both parties moving and acting very quickly. It was only then that A Ling rushed over, shouting loudly into the distance as everyone gathered around.
Li Hao, seeing Bai Yujing, was terrified and exclaimed, “Old Bai, what happened? You’re not going to die, are you?”
Lin Ruoqiao, known for his sharp tongue, looked at Bai Yujing’s near-death appearance and felt deeply saddened. “Bai Yujing, don’t die! I promise I won’t trouble you again!”
A Ling also looked at Bai Yujing and said, “Thank you for saving me earlier!”
Seeing them all act as if he were about to die, Bai Yujing felt furious and glared at them. “Not so fast! I’m not that easy to kill. I’ve broken seven or eight ribs, but thankfully there’s no dislocation. I just got hit by that monster and probably injured some internal organs. I coughed up some blood and my head is bleeding; just need some bandaging and medicine. It’s just a bit troublesome to stabilize my rib cage. Does anyone know how?”
Zhong Qiang immediately stepped forward. “I know a bit!”
He quickly bandaged Bai Yujing, stabilizing his rib cage and applying some medicine. However, it was clear that recovery wouldn’t be quick, especially with internal injuries being troublesome. After thinking for a moment, Bai Yujing exchanged some of the points he had just earned for another physical enhancement in the Exotic Creature Hunter system.
Immediately, he felt the energy from the system flowing into his body again, a warm power beginning to fill him up, with a tingling sensation in his head and chest.
After resting for an hour or two, everyone tidied up their belongings on the ground and had a meal. Meanwhile, Li Hao was examining the corpse of Mask Mountain Ghost. Seeing his actions, Lin Ruoqiao exclaimed, “Bro, isn’t that disgusting? What’s so interesting about a big head?”
Li Hao replied immediately, “I just want to see what this masked creature looks like. It’s so thin and small yet hits so hard; even Old Bai almost got killed by it!”
Bai Yujing was currently injured and didn't want to speak; otherwise, he would let Li Hao know what it meant to speak carelessly. After Li Hao removed the Mask of the Mountain Spirit, he immediately saw the face beneath it and was taken aback.
"What happened?"
Everyone quickly gathered around and saw that beneath the Mask was the face of a gaunt old man, with some hair on his face. However, it was close enough to a human that at first glance, it looked just like one. Seeing such a creature that resembled a human was unsettling.
Zhong Qiang looked at it and said, "This guy has probably been alive for who knows how long; he's almost taken on a human form!"
Bai Yujing leaned against a rock and stood up, looking over in this direction. Then he glanced at the Bronze Lantern that had fallen to the ground. This was something that allowed the Mountain Spirit to traverse through the forest, and it was also their hope for leaving this place. Initially, it was held by another team’s Mountain Spirit, but later it ended up in the hands of this Masked Mountain Ghost. There was only one in their entire squad, which indicated that this item was also rare for the Mountain Spirit. "Pick up that lantern and take a look!"
