90: Chapter 90 There's definitely treasure in that kid's box!
Upon hearing this, a trace of embarrassment and grievance appeared on Plum Blossom Three's translucent face. Although his body was ethereal, the twitching of his mouth was still clearly visible:
"How could it not have any effect!"
"Fifth, don't go making wild accusations! The ones we sent out this time are the three big shots from our logistics department! Tianpeng, Tian Shou, and Tianyan!"
"I gave them strict instructions to steal some core supplies. They had to make the school feel the pain and panic, forcing them to mobilize troops to defend the interior of the school, so we could clear some space for our operations!"
Diamond Five's miniature human face, imprinted on the back of a toad, rolled its eyes in an extremely abstract manner:
"Is this what you call pain? Panic?"
"I don't see them panicking at all. Instead, it looks like they're about to level this entire swamp!"
"Third Brother, is there a possibility... that those three 'Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick' geniuses of yours went to steal toilet paper or chalk ends? Not only did they fail to attract attention, but they were treated like cleaning ladies and dealt with?"
Plum Blossom Three gritted his teeth, his figure flickering twice, appearing somewhat flustered and exasperated:
"Bullshit! Tianpeng swore to me! He said he's targeting a big one this time! He can definitely make big news!"
"In my opinion, this Magic City Martial Arts University simply doesn't play by the rules!"
"When a normal school gets robbed, shouldn't they strengthen patrols inside the campus? But they? They just dragged everyone out for a picnic? Is Principal Pang's brain filled with paste?!"
The two were ranting crazily about Principal Pang's train of thought.
Suddenly, Diamond Five's eyeballs rolled sharply, locking onto the F-Class team marching in the distance.
"Shh! Third Brother! Shut up!"
"Look over there! That team in the corner!"
Plum Blossom Three followed the toad's gaze and happened to see Jiang You wearing spongebob pajamas, with an ill-fitting school uniform on top, and clutching a silver box tightly in his arms.
At this moment, Jiang You was wiping his hands on the grass leaves with a look of disgust because he had just slapped a leech to death.
"Hissβ" Plum Blossom Three gasped, and the surrounding air twisted along with him:
"That kid in pajamas... is a bit weird."
"That Second-Order Black Swamp Giant Leech just now was slapped to death by him, right? Did I see that correctly? There wasn't even any spiritual energy fluctuation, pure physical strength?"
Diamond Five's voice became solemn, and the toad's belly heaved in and out:
"It's more than just weird."
"Third Brother, pay attention to his eyes."
"Among that group of noisy students, only he has dull eyes, is yawning continuously, and even has the mood to wipe his hands in such a dangerous place..."
"What does this mean?"
Plum Blossom Three swallowed non-existent saliva: "It means he's an idiot?"
"Wrong!" Diamond Five sneered, "It means he doesn't take this S-Rank Forbidden Zone seriously at all! This is the relaxed demeanor of an expert! This is a state of returning to simplicity!"
"Furthermore..." Diamond Five's bulging toad eyes were glued tightly to the silver briefcase in Jiang You's arms.
The box reflected dazzling light under the sun.
Jiang You held it so tightly that even when he waved his hand to hit the leech earlier, his other hand hadn't let go of the box for even a second.
"Third Brother, don't you think that box... looks a bit familiar?"
Plum Blossom Three narrowed his eyes, examined it carefully, and then his whole body shook:
"That material... that is a specially made spiritual energy-isolating metal!"
"Usually, this kind of box is only used when sealing extremely dangerous treasures, or... some kind of high-energy core!"
At this moment, the two's train of thought mysteriously synchronized.
"Using this level of material to make a box... what grade must the things inside be?"
"Peak Fourth-Order? No... definitely more than that!"
Diamond Five was so excited that the bumps all over his body were trembling:
"Third Brother! Think about it! When that pajama-wearing weirdo slapped the Second-Order monster to death earlier, his eyes were full of disgust, just like he was swatting a fly."
"But what about the box?"
"He held it so tightly! Even the moment he slipped while walking and lost his balance, the first thing he protected wasn't his face, but that box!"
"What does this mean?"
Plum Blossom Three took a deep breath, his tone firm:
"It means the things inside that box are more important than his life!"
Thinking of this, the two's breathing instantly became rapid.
A shocking deduction formed in their minds:
"Could it be..."
"There is a Tier 5 Grandmaster-level treasure in that box?"
Plum Blossom Three's voice was extremely low, yet carried uncontrollable trembling and ecstasy, "Otherwise, why would he be so nervous? So cautious? This spiritual energy-isolating box is meant to prevent the aura of a Tier 5 Grandmaster-level expert from leaking!"
Diamond Five's face, embedded in the toad's back, was so excited that his features were distorted: "Yes! It must be like this! A Tier 5 Grandmaster! In the entire Magic City Martial Arts University, there are only a few Tier 5 Grandmasters on the surface!"
"Gulp."
The two swallowed saliva in unison.
Greed completely overcame reason.
Originally, they just wanted to come and steal some cores or cause some destruction, and by the way, boost the performance of the Wusheng Divine Sect.
But now, a "Tier 5 Grandmaster-level treasure" was placed right in front of them, and it was in the hands of a student who looked a bit strong but didn't seem to have a good brain.
This is simply a gift from heaven!
The two old schemers hiding in the mud pit looked at each other and saw the fire of greed burning in each other's eyes.
"Fifth, our chance has come."
Plum Blossom Three lowered his voice, his tone sinister:
"No need to look for any great monsters."
"As long as we grab that box, our mission is complete!"
"Whatever is inside, if it can be protected by an expert of this level, it is absolutely a priceless treasure!"
Diamond Five flicked his tongue and let out an excited croak:
"Hehehe... it didn't take any effort to get it."
"Although that pajama kid looks like he has some strength, we are professionals!"
"You attract fire in the open, and I'll use possession to sneak attack!"
"After this job is done, we'll go back and get a promotion and a raise!"
The two were daydreaming about their bright future, completely unaware of what secret was hidden in the box they regarded as a "Tier 5 Grandmaster-level treasure."
Even less did they know that the person they were about to provoke was a man who could turn the world upside down just to cover up the truth of his "social death."
"Let's go! Follow him!"
"Find a chance when he's alone, and finish him!"
Mud rolled, and a toad and a translucent shadow silently followed behind the F-Class team.
The Mist Swamp was fraught with dangers.
In this death-forbidden zone shrouded in thick fog, a bizarre "tracking chain" was quietly forming.
At the very front of the team was the mighty Magic City Martial Arts University special training group, like a steel dragon breaking into a primeval forest, recklessly crushing the flowers and plants along the way.
And in the reed marsh five hundred meters behind the team.
Plum Blossom Three and Diamond Five were moving forward alternately, using the terrain for cover in a highly professional manner.
