Chapter 1276: Isn't It a Bit Late?
In the village, Shen Yingying and Qi Rong looked curiously at Yu Mo, whose expression was calm.
"Yu Mo, why did you refuse Xiaobei's proposal just now?"
"Yes, we're not familiar with this place. It would be better to have him with us, right?"
The previous incident of getting lost left them with lingering fears, so now they were truly worried about making the same mistake again!
That's why they really hoped to have Hu Xiaobei as their guide.
Yu Mo, who had already prepared an excuse, heard their words and chuckled lightly. "I know it would be a lot better with him, but we shouldn't impose too much, right? He has a lot going on, and besides, we're three girls wandering around with him. It's a bit inconvenient, isn't it?"
"This... this is true!"
Hearing Yu Mo's reasoning, they thought for a bit and slowly nodded...
They realized this was indeed the case...
Hu Xiaobei might have been just being polite before, so it wouldn't be good to be oblivious to that.
Seeing them nod, Yu Mo squinted her eyes.
To be honest, the reason she didn't want Hu Xiaobei with her was that she felt Hu Xiaobei had really discovered something.
She knew that continuing to be around Hu Xiaobei would only make him more suspicious of her...
If it came to that, dealing with Hu Xiaobei would be even more difficult...
"Hu Xiaobei, I've learned so much more about you now, so I really think it's time!"
Murmuring to herself like this, she glanced at the two of them, gently pointed her finger towards the back mountain, and softly said, "I think the environment at the back mountain is better. Let's go take a look over there together!"
"This..."
Hearing this suggestion, both Shen Yingying and Qi Rong hesitated a bit...
They knew that the environment over there was better since fewer people went that way, but going there, they really might get lost.
Seeing their hesitation, Yu Mo gently waved her hand...
At that moment, she said indifferently, "I know you're worried about getting lost, but there's no need. Let's just be a bit more cautious! Besides, we have Hu Xiaobei's phone number. If we do get lost, we can call him."
"That's true!"
After thinking about it for a bit, they both agreed...
...
"The environment here is really much nicer!"
"Isn't it!"
After passing through the forest, they looked at the ancient wilderness in excitement and amazement!
Previously, living in the city, the biggest plants they had seen were the landscape trees along the roads.
And now, seeing a large expanse of woods, they were truly shocked!
"Yes, it's really good!"
With a light smile, she quickly made her move, and before they could react, both of them passed out...
"You two take a nap first. There are things you really shouldn't see later!"
After saying this, she went forward and took the phone from Shen Yingying's pocket!
After waving it in her hand, she dialed Hu Xiaobei's number without hesitation...
"Hello? What's up?"
Hearing the concerned inquiry, she spoke with a tense face, "We went to the back mountain earlier and got lost! We don't know how to get back!"
"I see! I'll come to find you right away!"
"Okay!"
Hanging up the phone, she put it down, and the next moment, she placed the white coat aside...
She knew she'd need to move around a bit later, so she needed to be prepared for everything.
"Looks like it's time to lay all cards on the table!"
Hu Xiaobei murmured this to himself and disappeared swiftly like a phantom...
...
"You're here? Pretty fast!"
As she spoke, Yu Mo quietly stood up!
"You really have a problem!"
"So, you really noticed it earlier?"
Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, she smiled faintly and said.
"I could see a little bit, but I couldn't be sure before. Now, I can be absolutely certain!"
After saying this, Hu Xiaobei turned his head to look at Shen Yingying and Qi Rong.
Seeing Hu Xiaobei's gaze, she explained calmly, "Don't worry, they're just unconscious now. You're the one I'm planning to deal with, so I definitely won't hurt anyone else."
"That's a good principle indeed!"
After saying this, Hu Xiaobei asked, "If I'm not mistaken, the two worthless ones before were your subordinates, right?"
Nodding freely, Yu Mo explained, "Yes! Those two were really too incompetent, so I had to take matters into my own hands. Now, I have to admit, you're definitely worth my personal attention."
"That's quite a high compliment! It's almost flattering!"
"Still talking! You're not nervous yet?"
Looking at her, Hu Xiaobei softly asked, "Nervous? Why should I be nervous?"
"Because I've completed many missions before, and I've never failed once!"
"Well, coincidentally, I've also experienced various situations and challenges, and I've never failed either!"
"Oh? So one of us is bound to fail between us!"
"Yes!"
"Then let's see who wins!"
With a laugh, Yu Mo quickly vanished...
"Disappeared? Is it speed? No! It seems like the Escape Technique!"
As she disappeared, Hu Xiaobei thought she used terrifying speed, so he quickly focused on his surroundings!
But he didn't find any trace, which made Hu Xiaobei realize this wasn't just extreme speed; she had truly vanished.
In the instant of making this judgment, Hu Xiaobei felt his hair stand on end...
At that moment, Hu Xiaobei quickly leaped aside...
"Huh?"
As Hu Xiaobei jumped away, an absolutely surprised whisper reached his ears.
Turning his head, Hu Xiaobei saw her reappear strangely in the spot where he had just been standing.
Hu Xiaobei knew that had he not moved, he would have been in real danger now.
"Your speed is impressive! It seems I'm really worth it this time!"
"Haha!"
With a cold sneer, Hu Xiaobei snapped his fingers lightly, and immediately, the surrounding trees began to sway in the wind, soon causing golden leaves to fall from them.
Just like that, they quickly covered the surrounding area completely...
Once it was covered, Hu Xiaobei looked at her with poise and said, "Go on! I want to see if you can still approach me silently."
"You'll know soon enough!"
With a gentle smile, her figure once again disappeared completely like a ghost...
Unlike before, Hu Xiaobei was prepared this time, so he wasn't in a hurry but instead waited quietly for her to appear.
Hu Xiaobei knew her ultimate goal was to attack him...
So as long as he could hold his ground, he would succeed.
As time passed second by second...
She still hadn't appeared, which made Hu Xiaobei feel a slight trace of impatience...
"I can't get anxious, getting anxious means falling into a trap!"
Knowing she was likely watching him secretly now, Hu Xiaobei muttered to himself.
The next second, Hu Xiaobei suddenly had a plan...
"Maybe I can lure her out!"
Murmuring this, a hint of feigned irritation gradually appeared in Hu Xiaobei's eyes.
Deliberate!
Indeed!
Hu Xiaobei was being deliberate now!
The reason being, of course, Hu Xiaobei wanted to draw her out actively...
"No response, huh?"
Muting a self-spoken line, Hu Xiaobei looked around, shouting wildly, "Come out and face me if you have the guts! What's with the sneak attacks, come out if you have the guts!"
Frantic hysteria!
Right now, Hu Xiaobei was portraying a kind of frantic hysteria.
The next second, a calm voice reached Hu Xiaobei's ear, "Since you miss me so much, I'll grant your wish!"
As she spoke, the previously completely vanished figure quickly appeared in front of Hu Xiaobei like a ghost...
This time, she was holding an absolutely sharp dagger in her hand...
Glancing at the glaring dagger, Hu Xiaobei said directly, "Finally took the bait!"
As he said this, the previously manic Hu Xiaobei became calm. At the same time, he quickly reached out his hand, ready to grab her neck, but the next second, Hu Xiaobei's eyes widened in astonishment...
The reason for this was that he realized he had grabbed nothing!
Indeed, she, who should have been in front of him, had turned into mist and disappeared completely...
"Fell for it!"
Saying this, Hu Xiaobei heard a faint mocking voice, "Realizing it now, isn't it a bit late?"
