"Boss, are more sand lions coming our way?"
The one in the middle who was sitting next to a fire with a big piece of meat in his hand said while munching on the meat in his mouth.
"Hmm.", the leader didn't reply instead answered with just a sound.
Since all of them were wearing black clothes while only some parts of their faces were visible, it was hard to know who was who.
While the leader only had his visible which had a murderous fire in them.
Thus the one who had questioned the leader didn't dare to stare into his eyes for more than a few seconds.
The leader looked back as he turned his head and squinted his cold eyes.
'Thud!'
The next moment he got up and looked at the one in the middle.
"Extinguish it."
A cold voice emerged from his mouth which was covered by a black cloth.
Nobody could know if the voice belonged to a man or a woman but they all could feel a dangerous and heavy pressure from it.
"Yes!"
"FHSHHH~ FHSHH~"
The one in the middle started throwing the sand on the fire.
"My meal."
Even though he was extinguishing it, he felt reluctant to do it.
"It was my first decent meal in such a long time. I want to eat more meat."
The complaining of the one in middle gave rise to the voices of others too.
"Shut up and move that ass. We are leaving."
The leader spoke once again while ordering them in a cold voice.
"Yes, Lord."
They all responded in a perfectly synced manner.
A moment later, the seventeen spies of the Qi Range who have here left the place in such a way that there was no evidence of them being here was left behind.
Ten minutes later.
Zhao Luo arrived at the place between the three rocks on Bimba, with his three brothers.
"Wait."
Zhao Luo patted Bimba's back as he commanded it to stop.
Zhao Luo looked around as even though there was nothing there except the shadow formed by the three rocks, he could still feel something amiss.
Zhao Luo jumped down and slowly walked exactly towards the spot where one of the spies was sitting.
"Sniff."
Zhao Luo made a sound as he pulled the air towards his nose.
"Sniff."
He did the same thing again with every step he took towards a certain spot.
"Has he gone mad because of the hear?"
Xiao Yu questioned while looking at Zhao Luo's action.
"Why is Brother, pretending to be a dog?"
Pi Hao also added as they looked at Zhao Luo going by the nose.
That was when Zhao Luo crouched at a position and started digging.
"Got it."
Zhao Luo shouted as he brought out a piece of meat that was buried in the sand.
"Burned skin!?"
Zhao Lul took out a hard structure that was next to the meat.
And opened the charred surface of the structure which turned out to be the skin of the sand lion wrapped around its bone.
"Their skin burns well, even better than wood."
Senior Cutie's voice entered his ear while Zhao Luo was inspecting it.
Turning around as Zhao Luo looked at the terrified expression on Bimba's face, he hurriedly threw the bone away.
"Let's go. They must be close as the scent of the cooked meat is still lingering around there."
Zhao Luo jumped on Bimba's back while telling them about his finding.
"Zhao Luo, were you a dog in your past life?"
Xiao Yu questioned him as Bimba started speeding in the obvious direction.
"Why? Want me to bite you?"
Zhao Luo questioned Xiao Yu while revealing the perfectly sharp ends of his teeth.
With an evil gaze and the silver hair that danced around his face, Zhao Luo looked serious enough to give shivers to the cold Xiao Yu.
"Hmph."
Xiao Yu trembled and looked away after biting his lip over Zhao Luo's question.
But then a hand landed on Zhao Luo's shoulder and Senior Cutie closed in on him.
"What?"
Zhao Luo questioned the action of Senior Cutie as he was caught off guard out of nowhere by his bald senior.
Senior Cutie moved his mouth closer to Zhao Luo's ear as Zhao Luo glanced at him through the side of his eyes.
"Little Brother, you can bite me if you ever have such an urge."
He whispered in Zhao Luo's ear before blowing a gentle breath of air in them.
Zhao Luo pushed him away as sweat covered his body and his hair stood up on their edge.
'I can never get used to his weird advances.'
"Don't you know that the sand lions also love biting? What do you say Bimba, how about a fresh bald human?"
"Roar~"
Zhao Luo said to Senior Cutie and Bimba followed up with a cute cry as though he would be more than pleased if he could get a bite of that shiny head.
"Hah, what are you saying, little brother? Don't you know we have to face the spies? What will you do without me?", Senior Cutie shook his finger as he turned down Zhao Luo's offer while presenting all the excuses he could come up with.
"hah if you say s-"
"ATTACK THEM!"
Out of nowhere, a cold undistinguishable voice interrupted Zhao Luo.
From under the sand, 16 black shadows jumped at Bimba, with the weapons in their hands pointed at Zhao Luo, Senior Cutie, Xiao Yu, and Pi Hao.
"Watch Out."
Zhao Luo mumbled as he took out Ifrit and Blackey from his storage space instantly.
Pi Hao clenched his fist and pulled his arms back.
"Metal Water technique."
A bluish metallic color covered his fists and a serious expression appeared in his eyes.
'Clap.'
Xiao Yu brought his palms together and lowered his stance.
"Slash."
Senior Cutie waved his bronze rod and started spinning it.
"Fwoosh."
'Clang'
A sword fell on his rod while a spear was coming at his hairless head.
"Aiming for my head from the start? As expected of the people from the Qi Sect."
Senior Cuties blocked the sword and deflected the spy by lowering his rod for a moment just to push the spy away with the swing of his rod.
After which he pointed the other end of his rod at the other spy whose spear was coming at his head.
"Eat this."
Senior Cutie pulled his arms back thus bringing the bronze rod backward and then instantly fired it at the spy multiple times in a split second.
"Multiple Shots."
"Crack."
The spear in the hands of the spy broke apart while he could see more than five images of the bronze rod coming at him.
"No way, ahh-"
The spy cried out as one after another those images of rod landed on his body causing a sharp painful moan to escape from his mouth.
"Get lost."
Senior Cutie shouted as the last hit landed on the spy's body causing him to be thrown far away from Bimba.
