30: Chapter 30: Was the sneak attack successful? This raises suspicions.

The pitch-black night shrouded the earth; in the jungle, there was only the constant rustling of leaves blown by the wind and the roars of fierce beasts coming from afar.

Tang Mo walked along the small forest path, holding a searchlight device.

Seeing the distance between Tang Mo and himself closing, Zhao Zhen immediately signaled his subordinate, Wang Qi, to act.

Holding a Sealing Scroll, Wang Qi activated it directly and threw it toward Tang Mo.

After the palm-sized scroll was thrown, it made no sound of breaking through the air, falling inconspicuously like an ordinary branch.

It wasn't until the scroll landed at Tang Mo's feet that he realized something was wrong, but by then, it was already too late.

The scroll erupted in a burst of intense white light at Tang Mo's feet, and a Hexagram Array emerged from beneath him.

A powerful suction force emerged from the formation, and Tang Mo's figure was gradually swallowed by it, slowly disappearing.

After swallowing Tang Mo, the Hexagram Array also gradually lost its light and vanished along with him.

The forest path instantly returned to silence, as if nothing had happened just now.

"Success!!"

Wang Qi jumped up in excitement; after a long day's hard work, it had finally ended perfectly.

"Damn it, if we could kill him openly, this kid would have died ten thousand times over. Why did we have to go through all this trouble!"

A disdainful smile appeared on Zhou Ming's lips.

"And here I thought he was some kind of big deal, but a single scroll took care of him. Hmph, what a waste of our time."

"Exactly, making so many of us wait here for a whole day for nothing. My legs are numb."

Sun Hao looked displeased. "What the hell, I should have been allowed to capture him first and then torture him properly."

"Solving it like this is too easy on him, that bastard!!"

"Quiet, all of you!!"

Zhao Zhen's angry shout immediately silenced everyone.

"Are you afraid people won't know we killed someone?! Is this a discussion forum? Talking so loudly!!"

"Now, everyone get into the dungeon! Don't think you can skip your contribution today!"

The rest of the team instantly looked like frost-bitten eggplants.

They thought they wouldn't have to hand over guild contributions, but they didn't expect to have to run a dungeon after dark.

At night, even the dungeon entrance wasn't absolutely safe; high-level fierce beasts often attacked the dungeon camps.

The danger level was still quite high.

But fearing Zhao Zhen's strength, they were all angry but didn't dare to speak up.

Just as they were about to leave, a mist barrier suddenly rose around them.

Because it was dark, the color of the mist barrier couldn't be clearly seen.

Originally, seeing that Zhao Zhen had finished off Tang Mo, Ma Xueyi had come running over eagerly.

But upon seeing this mist barrier, his whole body was instantly struck as if by lightning.

Because last night, he had seen with his own eyes that Boss Hai and the others had died within a mist barrier.

Without even the slightest room for resistance.

Ma Xueyi wailed, trying to flee, only to find it was already too late.

Inside his chest, that heart which had still been beating felt as if it were being tightly gripped by a pair of large hands, losing its vitality.

In an instant, his past life flashed before Ma Xueyi's eyes like a revolving lantern, brief and rapid.

Then, Ma Xueyi's consciousness sank into permanent darkness.

The other dozen or so people couldn't escape the same fate as Ma Xueyi, falling to the ground one after another, foaming at the mouth.

The situation for Zhao Zhen, Sun Hao, and Zhou Ming was not much better.

Their life-saving items were consumed instantly, and they didn't even know who was attacking them.

"What's going on?! You guys..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhao Zhen, Sun Hao, and Zhou Ming also fell down, foaming at the mouth.

The forest path returned to silence once more, with only the rustling of leaves and the distant roars of fierce beasts.

The night shrouded the area again, as if nothing had ever happened, just like before.

After an unknown amount of time, once the faces of those from the Dayang Guild had all turned purple-black, a mist barrier slowly condensed into a human figure.

Fluffy hair and melancholy eyes—it was Tang Mo.

Earlier, while hunting fierce beasts in the jungle, Tang Mo had developed a new use for his Body of Poison.

That was the Poison Clone.

Using toxins to create a clone identical to himself to lure opponents into a trap.

The moment Tang Mo stepped onto the forest path, that feeling of being watched appeared again.

Tang Mo guessed that someone would try to harm him, so he created a Poison Clone to take his place.

The one initially trapped by the Sealing Scroll was only one of Tang Mo's Poison Clones.

Tang Mo had been hiding in the shadows, observing everything.

After seeing the power of the Sealing Scroll, Tang Mo didn't dare to approach casually.

Only after confirming that Zhao Zhen and the others were dead did he dare to show himself.

After all, with a skill like that, even his Undying Body would surely be sealed.

What he would suffer then was beyond Tang Mo's imagination.

To be safe, Tang Mo had secretly released a Poison Barrier.

Fortunately, there were no moon or stars tonight; under the cover of night, the Poison Barrier was not easily detected.

This allowed him to easily kill all dozen or so people.

After Zhao Zhen and the others died, the items in their storage spaces and the equipment they were wearing all dropped out.

Zhao Zhen and his group were the elite team of the Dayang Guild; they were all wearing at least Level 20 Silver-grade equipment.

Zhao Zhen, Sun Hao, and Zhou Ming even had full sets of Level 30 Silver-grade equipment.

However, Zhao Zhen was a Berserker, Sun Hao was a Thief, and Zhou Ming was a Strongman.

"To think none of it is Mage equipment; what a huge loss."

Still, Silver-grade equipment could be worth a lot of money.

After picking up all the equipment, Tang Mo didn't leave behind the materials scattered on the ground either.

After filling his storage space, Tang Mo finally got up and left.

Of course, before leaving, Tang Mo still used his Highly Poisonous Vines to throw all the bodies of these dozen or so people into the depths of the jungle.

Back in the city, Tang Mo still went to the Professional Management Association in Ning Tong City first to sell all the Serpents Reverse Scales in his possession.

Tang Mo once again obtained 30 Association contribution points and 300,000 gold coins.

Counting what he had before, Tang Mo now possessed 50 Association contribution points and over 900,000 gold coins.

If he sold the materials and equipment in his hands, it would definitely be enough to buy an advanced skill secret tome.

However, Tang Mo learned his lesson this time and didn't sell the equipment in his hands here.

From Tang Mo's observation, these people likely belonged to the same organization.

If he sold these weapons here on a large scale, it would definitely attract the other party's attention.

Anyway, equipment could be sold anywhere; Jiangkou City would be the same.

Thus, Tang Mo went straight back.

After returning to Jiangkou City, Tang Mo took out the materials and several pieces of equipment he didn't need and sold them.

If he sold all the weapons directly to the Professional Management Association, it would inevitably arouse the association's suspicion.

After all, the source could not be explained, and it would bound to raise suspicion.
