47: The injured third-level exotic beast, the three-tailed hippopotamus!

Deep within the Ruins.

Gu Yue and Gu Ying looked at the deep pool, which was bubbling with blood, their expressions solemn.

Near the deep pool were four large footprints and signs of a struggle.

Seven or eight Military martial artists lay on the ground.

Their faces were pale, and some of their clothes were stained with blood.

"Thank you, Principal Gu, for the timely support.

Otherwise, our team might have been wiped out by the Three-tailed Hippopotamus."

The Military team leader thanked Gu Yue.

The Three-tailed Hippopotamus didn't sound imposing, even somewhat weak, by its name.

But in reality, it was a Third-Level Exotic Beast.

The Three-tailed Hippopotamus had rough skin and very strong defense.

If Gu Yue hadn't arrived in time?

This Military team in front of them would likely have become casualties under the Three-tailed Hippopotamus's hooves.

"It's just a pity that the Three-tailed Hippopotamus got away."

Gu Yue felt a slight regret.

She hadn't killed the Three-tailed Hippopotamus, only severely injured it.

Because after the Three-tailed Hippopotamus sensed the threat of death, it quickly burrowed into the deep pool.

Gu Yue wasn't familiar with water.

At the same time, she wasn't sure if other exotic beasts were ambushing beneath the deep pool, so she didn't rashly enter the water.

"Sister, no wonder the Green-Faced Monkey ran out; it turns out a Third-Level Exotic Beast appeared deep within these Ruins.

It seems this deep pool connects to the outside."

Hearing Gu Ying's analysis, Gu Yue nodded in agreement.

"Old Qing, set up some surveillance cameras nearby.

If this Three-tailed Hippopotamus shows its head again, notify me immediately; the Wu Exam is approaching, and we absolutely cannot have any accidents."

"Yes!"

After giving her instructions, Gu Yue immediately contacted Luo Chen.

Luo Chen, wearing his signature straw hat, appeared in the video.

"Judging by your expression, something happened deep in the Ruins?"

Before Gu Yue could speak, Luo Chen adjusted his straw hat and spoke first.

Gu Yue nodded.

She recounted the appearance of the Three-tailed Hippopotamus deep within the Ruins.

Luo Chen was a little surprised.

Then he offered his solution.

"Gu Yue, I will send more Military personnel to patrol the Ruins.

Ensuring no accidents occur when the Wu Exam arrives."

Luo Chen paused, then continued, "At the same time, I will also return to Jianglin Base.

To observe your Kaizhou City's Wu Exam!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue was greatly surprised, "General Luo, you're going to attend Kaizhou City's Wu Exam?"

Kaizhou City was just a small city within Jianglin Base.

And Luo Chen was the strongest individual in Jianglin Base.

If he were to attend a Wu Exam, he should go to a major city, not come to Kaizhou City.

"That's right.

I received news that a very interesting young man has appeared in Kaizhou City.

I want to recruit him into my command!"

Luo Chen's lips curled slightly, and a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

Gu Yue was stunned for a moment.

Could it be him?

She blurted out, as if possessed, "Is it Su Jun?"

This time, it was Luo Chen who was surprised, "You actually know him?

What's wrong with Guan Ping and Zhao Song?

Do they not know how to keep their mouths shut?"

After speaking, Luo Chen pouted.

Actually, Luo Chen had misunderstood Guan Ping and Zhao Song.

Su Jun had unintentionally revealed his strength in front of Gu Yue.

Gu Yue grew anxious.

Su Jun had been "marked" by her; he absolutely couldn't "slip" into Luo Chen's hands.

"Gu Yue, your Gu Family elders have always looked down on students from impoverished backgrounds.

Even if you recruit Su Jun into your command, those old fellows will probably have objections."

By the end, Luo Chen's words carried a hint of mockery, which made Gu Yue's expression stiffen.

"Gu Yue, let me tell you, I, Luo Chen, am determined to get Su Jun!"

By the end, even through the phone screen, Gu Yue could feel Luo Chen's powerful aura.

But Gu Yue was also someone who refused to admit defeat, "Then let's see!"

At a lake five miles from here, a series of green bubble emerged.

Then, a hippopotamus head, as large as a small car, emerged...

At the entrance of the Ruins.

"After tempering oneself with exotic beasts, one's strength will always improve."

To Zhou Yuan's curiosity, Su Jun simply brushed him off with a brief sentence.

Qin Huanhuan and Shen Bingye also didn't suspect anything.

When they first came to the Ruins, their qi and blood had also improved significantly.

Zhou Yuan, however, rubbed his bald head, looking at Su Jun's departing back, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He always felt that something was off about Su Jun.

"Su Jun, how was your trip to the Ruins?"

Chen Zhen also emerged from the Ruins; upon seeing Su Jun, he waved in greeting.

"Very fruitful!"

Su Jun smiled, then asked in return, "Uncle Chen, you look radiant; your trip to the Ruins must have been very rewarding?"

Chen Zhen straightened his back, "Of course it was!

I met a mysterious person with the same name as you; that person not only killed a Green Spotted Tiger but also gave me a Drought Lotus, and my old injuries are healed!

If I ever meet that mysterious person, Su Jun, again, I'll definitely thank him properly!"

Looking at Chen Zhen, who was no longer troubled by his old injuries, Su Jun felt genuinely happy.

"Su Jun, you must become as formidable as that mysterious person, Su Jun, in the future!"

Chen Zhen patted Su Jun's shoulder, speaking earnestly.

Uncle Chen, actually, that person was me!

Su Jun's lips curved into a smile, "Uncle Chen, I'll try my best!"

After chatting for a few moments, the two parted ways.

Su Jun returned to the bus, and everyone else gradually boarded.

Finally, they realized one person was missing.

"Where's Chang Kai?"

"He's dead!"

"Dead? How could he be dead?"

Everyone on the bus looked astonished.

"I'm not sure.

I just saw Chang Wei and others carrying Chang Kai's body out of the Ruins."

The bus driver said slowly.

"Could it be that Chang Kai had bad luck and encountered a Second-Level Exotic Beast?"

"That possibility can't be ruled out; it could also be a revenge killing.

The Chang Family is a prominent target, and Chang Kai was overbearing, often getting into conflicts with people..."

The girl speaking paused, her gaze involuntarily falling on Su Jun.

Many people on the bus also looked at Su Jun.

Just a few hours ago, Chang Kai had had a conflict with Su Jun.

"You suspect Su Jun killed Chang Kai?"

Shen Bingye stood up, looking coldly at everyone.

Upon sensing Shen Bingye's coldness, everyone looked embarrassed.

Seeing this, Su Jun felt a warmth in his heart.

"Chang Kai is, after all, the young master of the Chang Family.

He has some trump cards.

The possibility of him dying at Su Jun's hands is even smaller than being struck by lightning in broad daylight!"

After Shen Bingye, Qin Huanhuan also stood by Su Jun.

"Classmates, you mustn't suspect people groundlessly; it can lead to trouble."

Zhou Yuan stood up, speaking righteously.

Huh?

This Zhou Yuan would actually speak up for me?

Su Jun was a little surprised.

Qin Huanhuan speaking up for him could be understood as doing so out of consideration for Shen Bingye.

But why would Zhou Yuan speak up for him?

He had heard that this talented martial artist, who had awakened the talent of brute strength, had an average relationship with everyone at First High.

Shen Wei saw the two goddesses, and Zhou Yuan, a talented martial artist ranked third on the Prodigy List, standing on Su Jun's side, and secretly frowned.

How could this guy have such good connections?

Shen Wei hadn't eaten grapes, but she felt a sour sensation in her heart.

Lin Lili, on the other hand, showed a thoughtful expression.

As the saying goes, look at the monk's face for the Buddha's sake.

She felt it was necessary to mend her relationship with Su Jun later.

Su Jun himself wasn't much.

But he had very good connections.

And he and Shen Bingye were both adopted.

Such a person still needed to be befriended.

Even if she couldn't befriend him, she couldn't offend him in the future.

"Sister Wei, don't you think you need to ease your relationship with Su Jun?"

Lin Lili leaned closer to Shen Wei's ear, suggesting softly.

Shen Wei frowned.

"Wei Wei, didn't you tell me not to contact this Su Jun before?"

Lin Lili was embarrassed and could only weakly say, "Times are different now."

Shen Wei rolled her eyes at Lin Lili.

However, to maintain her dignity as Sixth High School's campus belle, she replied indifferently that it depended on her mood.

"Student Zhou, thank you for speaking up for me."

Su Jun expressed his gratitude to Zhou Yuan, who grinned and said, "We're all friends!"

"Su Jun, I spoke up for you, why aren't you thanking me?

Also, why did you refuse my green bubble friend request last time?"

Qin Huanhuan pouted at Su Jun.

She was clearly still bothered by what happened that day.
