Chapter 30

Treasure?!

Mo Xiaobai was elated. After confirming the location, he hastened his pace and walked out of the school gates. Then, he jogged towards the area where the lines of red lights were congregating.

Very soon, Mo Xiaobai arrived at the part of the wall where the bright red lines of lights were congregating.

There was a small path around two meters wide outside the wall.

On the other side of the path was an office building.

Mo Xiaobai followed the path and walked in. Very soon, he arrived at the spot where the bright red lines of lights were congregating.

He was stunned when he arrived at the location.

There were no treasures on the small path. It was very clean. The red lines of lights were congregated in the air above the small path.

Mo Xiaobai raised his eyebrows when he saw this familiar scene.

Was this the same as the other time when the magical beasts dropped from the sky?

Would treasures drop from the sky if he waited for some time?

Mo Xiaobai looked at the sky. It wasn’t very late yet. The sky was still dark blue. However, the sun had already set in the west.

There were no clouds in the sky at all. Mo Xiaobai really couldn’t tell if treasures would drop from the sky.

He pondered for some time, and started searching around him.

After confirming that there was nothing near the lines of bright red lights, Mo Xiaobai frowned.

He didn’t know how long he needed to wait this time before the treasure fell from the sky.

If he waited too long, he was afraid that the sky would turn dark.

Mo Xiaobai looked around him when he thought about this.

The small path was extremely quiet and a little deserted.

Didn’t that killer like this kind of place?

Mo Xiaobai felt a chill on his neck.

What should he do?

Should he wait?

Mo Xiaobai glanced at the bright red lines of lights in front of him, and started contemplating.

After some time, he gritted his teeth and decided to wait.

Since the red lines of lights appeared here, he should have good luck until these red lines of lights disappeared, right?

After he took the treasure, he would quickly run to the main road, and everything should be fine.

Also, he had already reached one force point fourth-rank in cultivation, and his battle power was definitely above that grade.

The killer might not be his match.

After all, the victims were all young men and women around his age. None of them was a Force Warrior.

Thinking about this, Mo Xiaobai’s gaze turned resolute.

However…

Mo Xiaobai’s gaze flickered.

He still needed to make ample preparations to prevent any accidents from happening.

He looked at his surroundings and found a corner. He took off his school uniform and took out his elite armor to wear. Then, he wore his outerwear over the armor.

Fortunately, his armor wasn’t bulky and heavy, so it wasn’t visible.

As for his heavy sword, if there were any dangers, he could take it out of his space ring anytime.

Finally, Mo Xiaobai took a look at the potions in his space ring.

Strength Potion, Strength Potion, and Healing Potion.

They were his trump cards.

If the killer was more powerful than him, he would drink the Stone Skin Potion and the Strength Potion. They would allow him to strengthen his ability for a short period of time, enough for him to run to the main road.

He had prepared everything he could. Mo Xiaobai took a deep breath, and quietly waited for the treasure to fall into his lap.

Time passed slowly. Mo Xiaobai looked at the sky as it turned from dark blue to black. Far away, the last ray of sunlight seemed to be sinking below the horizon too.

Half an hour later, the sky had already turned entirely black. It looked as though the sky was a black piece of cloth. Stars were shining in the night sky.

Mo Xiaobai frowned slightly. He looked at the bright red lines of lights, and then glanced at the sky filled with shining stars.

The sky had turned completely dark. Why hadn’t the treasure appeared?

What if he really met the killer later?

Mo Xiaobai started to worry.

At this moment, Mo Xiaobai suddenly heard faint noises coming from a distance away. His body tensed up, and he looked in the direction of the sounds with vigilance.

“Boss, are we really going in?”

“What are you afraid of? Everyone is afraid of the killer at night. There are only a few businesses still operating at this time. We can sneak into a few empty offices and get some treasures!”

“But, what if… What if we meet the killer?”

“Don’t worry. I’ve analyzed everything. That killer will only kill young children around 10 years old. We are both adults. We will be fine.”

“But… But…”

“Stop talking nonsense and follow me!”

Under the dim starry sky, Mo Xiaobai saw two black figures slowly walking over from one side of the dim path. One of the black figures was skinny, and the other was fat. They were discussing in soft voices as they walked.

“…”

“…”

Mo Xiaobai’s expression turned weird.

Based on what they were saying, they sounded like thieves.

Honestly, this was a great time for thieves to start working.

Very soon, the two black figures came close to where Mo Xiaobai was. With the help of the stars, Mo Xiaobai saw the faces of these two people clearly.

The fat person had a chubby and round face. He had a pair of black and white rabbit ears. He was a rabbit-man. He looked quite fierce.

The skinny person had a pair of sharp eyes. He was an elf. He bent his back and kept glancing at his surroundings. He looked a little sneaky.

From their aura, Mo Xiaobai could tell that they weren’t Force Warriors. They were just normal people at the Body Tempering stage.

The gray lines of lights around them were so pale they almost looked white.

When Mo Xiaobai saw them, the two of them saw Mo Xiaobai too.

The two of them shuddered, and the skinny elf even shrunk back and screamed in terror.

The fat rabbit-man was bolder, so he opened his mouth and said in a rough tone, “Who are you?!”

Mo Xiaobai could detect the slight tremble in his voice.

Mo Xiaobai rolled his eyes when he saw how frightened the two people were.

Normally, he might want to tease them a little, but now he was waiting for the treasure to appear. He didn’t have much time.

Just as he planned to go forward directly and knock the two fellows unconscious, he paused suddenly. His muscles tensed up, and he looked at the two thieves without any expression.

Behind the skinny elf, lines and lines of black and red lights appeared.

These black and red lights went round the skinny elf and moved closer to Mo Xiaobai. The skinny elf didn’t seem to notice anything. He continued looking nervous.

Mo Xiaobai’s heart started pounding furiously. His entire body was tense, and he was flabbergasted.

That was because he realized that the spot surrounded by the black and red lights was empty. It seemed as though a piece of air was floating towards him.

At the same time, he felt a strong evil intention from the spot surrounded by the red and black lines of light. This evil aura was so strong his stomach started churning, and he felt like vomiting.

This was too strange and sinister. Mo Xiaobai felt his hair standing. His entire body started hurting slightly as though needles were pricking his skin. He could only see the intertwined lines of lights in his vision. He couldn’t even feel his own heartbeat.

What on earth was this?

It didn’t even have a shadow?!
