The yandere senior sister pretended to be stupid to trick me, it made me feel numb!

Camp.

Manqi and six other barbarian men were barbecuing and drinking around the campfire.

Obviously, their tasks have been assigned.

With the help of moonlight, someone discovered Zhao Mu's return, and a hint of doubt suddenly appeared on his face.

"Xiao Zhao, why are you alone?"

"Why not?"

Zhao Mu had a matter-of-fact expression on his face. He was going to take a shower, not to kidnap anyone. He went alone and of course he would come back alone.

"Where's Xiaoqi? Big brother said he asked Xiaoqi to protect you. How come you're back but Xiaoqi isn't?"

"what!"

Zhao Mu was startled and immediately remembered what had just happened.

Xiaoqi went to find him, so doesn't that mean that the noise behind the boulder was caused by her?

Can....

Why is she hiding? She should just protect him openly.

Could it be...

hiss~

Thinking of a certain possibility, Zhao Mu suddenly dared not think any further and immediately laughed out loud, "I haven't seen Xiao Qi before. Could she be lost or in trouble? Let's go look for her."

As Zhao Mu spoke, he pretended to turn back to look for someone.

But before he could turn around, he heard someone shouting.

"No need, look, Xiao Qi is back!"

Zhao Mu looked back and saw that it was indeed the tall Xiao Qi, but she was coming back in a different direction from him. Although it was not completely opposite, it was definitely not the same direction.

"Xiao Qi, didn't you go to protect Xiao Zhao? Why did Xiao Zhao say he didn't see you? Where did you go?"

Man Yi, the barbarian man who had just spoken to Zhao Mu, glanced at Xiao Qi who had just returned with a little curiosity.

"Yes, Xiaoqi, where have you been? Why didn't I see you?"

Zhao Mu pretended to be confused. He didn't dare to express his suspicion. If his guess was true, once this matter was exposed, both sides would lose face. If something else happened, he was afraid that he would be in great trouble.

Wasn't it just someone peeping at me while I was showering? It was no big deal, just watch whatever you wanted. Anyway, the person was a woman, pretty at that, not some perverted old man.

"I misremembered the direction you left and took the wrong path upstream. I didn't see anyone, so I walked downstream along the riverbank and found a puddle of water next to a huge rock downstream, and a dead wild boar-like monster. I knew you must have returned, so I came back too."

The expression is perfect, the reason is flawless, perfect.

Zhao Mu didn't expect that Xiaoqi, this silly girl, actually had such ability.

Unlike him, Manqi and others were attracted by the wild boar-like monster mentioned by Xiaoqi.

Several barbarian men all turned their eyes to Zhao Mu.

"Xiao Zhao, did you kill that wild boar monster?"

Man Yi gave him a look for confirmation.

"Ok!"

Zhao Mu nodded and admitted directly: "That was a first-level peak wild boar monster. I had just finished my shower and jumped ashore when it inexplicably charged at me fearlessly. Since I couldn't dodge it, I just killed it directly."

hiss~

Hearing this, not only Man Yi and the others, but even the boss Man Qi had a strange look in his eyes.

Wild boar monsters are notoriously thick-skinned and difficult to kill. Zhao Mu, with his cultivation level of the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm, actually killed a first-level peak wild boar monster with a single slap. It's truly incredible.

It seems that the thunderbolt he received last night was not in vain.

Manqi estimated that Zhao Mu's physical strength and power at this moment were already stronger than when he had reached the peak of body tempering, and not a little bit stronger.

After all, when he had reached the peak of body tempering, he couldn't kill a first-level peak wild boar monster with a single slap. It would take him at least dozens or even hundreds of moves.

There was even a moment when he suspected that Zhao Mu was a big shot who was pretending to be a pig but was actually a tiger, and his cultivation was stronger than his.

Because being struck by the thunder of Hades is really too unbelievable.

"Xiao Zhao, can I use your method of getting struck by lightning?"

Although Man Qi had warned him before, Man Yi still couldn't help but ask.

This improvement in physical strength is really enviable.

"Uh~"

Zhao Mu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's highly unlikely. But if you really want to learn, Brother Manyi, go take a couple of Nether Lightning strikes tomorrow and try. If you can hold on, then you can learn."

"Xiao Zhao is right. Just try a couple of hits. If you can handle it, then learn. If you can't, then go to bed."

"Haha, Man Yi, you can't be a coward, let's go and get hit now."

"..."

The other barbarian men laughed, joked and encouraged him, so that Man Yi sat back by the campfire and ate barbecue and drank strong liquor.

He knew clearly which was better, grilling or chewing grilled meat.

Hit by the thunder?

Stop joking. Even those hair-thin Nether Thunders at the outermost edge of the Nether Thunder Valley are more than he can withstand.

Manqi is right, some good things are not available to everyone.

It’s better to let Xiao Zhao practice this thunder-inducing body-building exercise alone.

Now that the topic has come to this, Zhao Mu naturally would not miss this great opportunity. He immediately said that he would go deeper into the Nether Thunder Valley to practice alone tomorrow.

"What? Alone? No, there are 3rd and 4th level monsters everywhere in the depths of the Dark Thunder Valley. Even 5th level monsters appear occasionally. It's too dangerous."

Manqi was the first to express his disagreement, and Xiaoqi and others also agreed, not allowing Zhao Mu to act alone.

"I feel that no matter how deep I go in the Dark Thunder Valley, I will be safe."

"What do you mean?"

"I can withstand the thunder, but I'm not sure about those monsters."

"Well....."

Everyone's expression froze when they heard this, not knowing how to refute.

This seems to be the case.

The higher the level of the monster, the more intelligent it is. If they saw that Zhao Mu could withstand the Nether Thunder, they would have retreated from him long ago. How could they be so foolish as to rush forward?

As for low-level monsters like the first-order, they pose no threat to Zhao Mu at all. If he really encounters one, the difference is just one slap or two.

After Zhao Mu mentioned this, they immediately understood why they did not encounter any monsters when they entered the Nether Thunder Valley just now.

So, they were all scared away by that pervert Zhao Mu!

"Hey, so, Xiao Zhao, you are simply our human amulet for entering the Nether Thunder Valley. Otherwise, you can take the Nether Thunder all the way and lead us to get the spiritual materials. It can save us a lot of effort."

“…”

Zhao Mu was stunned.

He really wanted to knock open Man Yi's big head and take a good look at how strange his thinking was.

Damn, I can actually make such an association.

At this moment, Manqi suddenly spoke.

"Okay, then you'll be acting alone starting tomorrow!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone else became anxious, especially Xiao Qi.

"Brother, even so, it's still quite dangerous for Xiao Zhao to act alone. What if..."

"Okay, it's settled."

Man Qi spoke directly and shut everyone up, which surprised Zhao Mu, as he still had a lot of things to say.

Although I don’t understand why Manqi agreed so easily, it doesn’t matter. It’s good enough that I can act alone.

"Xiao Qi, what are the spiritual materials needed for the first body opening? Please give me a list so that I can collect them if I come across them."

"it is good!"

......

After Zhao Mu went back to rest, Xiao Qi finally couldn't help but ask Man Qi.

"Brother, what on earth are you thinking?"

Everyone else also turned their eyes to Manqi.

After two seconds of silence, Man Qi shook his head and smiled, "Everyone has their own secrets. Xiao Zhao wants to practice alone because there are obviously some things he doesn't want us to see. If that's the case, why should we hinder his practice? After all, the stronger he is, the greater the benefit he will bring to our Barbarian God Festival."

"What if something happens to him? After all, his cultivation level is..."

"Only at the Body Tempering Stage, right?"

Man Qi shook his head and laughed, "A demon who can absorb nearly forty doses of secret medicine, you actually simply use your realm to measure his strength. How foolish."

"Have you never thought about why a young, stunningly beautiful woman in the Spiritual Essence Realm would be willing to follow a mere mid-stage Body Tempering Realm cultivator?"

"Haven't you ever wondered why Xiao Zhao's wife, who is in the Spiritual Origin Realm, was so badly injured, but he wasn't hurt at all?"

"Haven't you ever thought that Jiang Feng can hide his cultivation, but Xiao Zhao can't?"

"this......"

Manqi's words made everyone silent instantly.
