"No, I don't see him," said the last warrior in the back.
Jin Tiankuang sensed his surroundings and scoffed. "Just a paper tiger. To think I was looking forward to what he would do."
Lady Jin Yujie said with a smile, "Haha, he'd be stupid if he followed us, knowing we're from the Jin family. A talent of the military? He just entered the top ten recently; he looks impressive but lacks real worth."
"I know him. He came from a backwards planet, so his foundation is limited." Jin Tiankuang snorted. An almost unnoticeable hint of jealousy flashed past his eyes as he continued, "I wonder how he got the National Military Medal…" No one noticed the emotion in his eyes.
"The National Military Medal?" The other talents turned silent when they heard this.
"Watch out!" someone shouted all of a sudden.
Boom!
A black shadow darted from the side and charged at the group.
Jin Yujie was the closest. She clutched her blue battle sword and slashed with an unhurried move. The sword glow cut through the water, but the shadow was surprisingly agile, shifting its body ever so slightly to evade the attack.
"Huh?" Jin Yujie raised her beautiful eyebrows. She turned her wrist and the battle blade formed an azure blue arc. The underwater pressure seemed non-existent as the sharp weapon slit through, releasing an even more powerful sword glow.
Howl!
The black shadow howled in pain. Fresh blood spurted out as it struggled to run away, only to stop after a certain distance. It had lost all vitality.
"That was a mid-tier imperial beast!" Jin Yujie said.
Jin Tiankuang smiled and asked, "Yujie, your water ultima has reached the eighth-level, right?"
"I can't be compared with you." She chuckled.
"This large trench is indeed a treasure trove with many powerful beasts. Poor Wang Teng. He found it first, but he hesitated to come down," Jin Tiankuang said with a contemptuous look.
"Huh!" Jin Yujie suddenly shouted.
"What is it?" Jin Tiankuang asked.
"My points, where are my points?" Jin Yujie frowned as she looked at her tally.
"Your points? What do you mean?" Everyone was confused. How can her points disappear?
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"})"I killed that star beast but my points didn't increase," Jin Yujie said anxiously.
"Did you mess up your count?" Everyone was stunned.
"How's that possible? No matter how bad my memory is, I'm more than able to remember my points," Jin Yujie refuted angrily.
"Maybe the sea beast isn't dead?" someone offered.
Everyone was astonished, immediately turning to check on the creature. However, they soon confirmed that the sea beast was dead.
"What is going on?" Jin Yujie was puzzled. The monster was dead, but her points weren't added. Who was she supposed to turn to and reason about this?
"23333, it must be Wang Teng!"
"I knew they carved their own path."
"Poor guys. Their points disappeared and they haven't noticed that Wang Teng is there."
"Where did my points go? They went to their daddy."
"Wang Teng: You can't see me. You just can't see me~"
…
The audience on the live chat platform was having a field day, laughing and teasing the Jin family when they saw their disoriented expressions.
On the Jin family's spacecraft—Jin Xiangming's brow was creased with fury.
Wang Teng, daring to scam members of my Jin family!
How dare he!
He was about to flare up when he remembered how Wang Teng had ripped off three warriors from the Parkers. Among those three, one would probably lose the chance to enter the next round. He didn't care about offending them.
Ever since the war between dukedoms, the Jins had endured a steep decline. They couldn't be compared to the Parkers, at all.
If Wang Teng wasn't afraid of that powerful family, why would he fear the Jins?
Furthermore, the fellow was supported by the military. Was it worth it to offend the military over such a trifling matter? The gain wasn't worth the pain.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})These thoughts made him feel even more frustrated. He could only vent his anger on Jin Tiankuang later.
Why did this brat choose to offend the worst person to provoke?
Zone 1.
Jin Tiankuang frowned while scanning the surroundings. He said coldly, "Come out!"
The others understood, and glanced around. They wanted to find the person lurking about.
However, the only reply was silence. They couldn't find anyone, no matter how hard they looked.
Celestial warriors could pierce through objects with spiritual power, effectively noticing if there was life within.
Adding their noble background, they also had more secret and special skills compared to the ones accessible to normal warriors.
And yet, they couldn't find anyone.
The leader of the group frowned. The others looked at him, waiting for his decision.
If there was no one around, the points 'disappearing' was caused by something else.
"Let's go!" Jin Tiankuang snorted and continued his descent.
The others followed.
More beasts were found after traveling for some distance. This time, there were five of them.
Three of low-tier imperial level and two of mid-tier!
All the creatures attacked fiercely before the humans could react.
They had the advantage in that place, and were basically kings. Aside from prey, they had never seen other beings.
Hence, they instantly reacted upon seeing newcomers with intense Force fluctuations. They opened their hideous, large mouths, wanting to swallow them whole for a chance of taste.
"Charge!" shouted Jin Tiankuang as he glanced at the others, then charged at the incoming monsters.
The rest nodded, carefully paying attention to their surroundings when they fought. They were still trying to detect the hidden person, though.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})The Jin talents were powerful, only taking ten breaths to deal with all five creatures.
However, none of them were happy.
Their points were gone again!
At first they had doubts about the involvement of someone in the shadows. Now, their doubts were cleared.
There was definitely someone playing tricks on them!
It was the only possible reason why their points weren't added.
They had hunted for more than twenty days and that had never happened before.
Jin Tiankuang and the others surveyed their environment with sharp gazes. Who's the bold fellow stealing our points?
Jin Tiankuang clutched his battle blade and shouted, "Move!"
Just as he said so, countless blade shadows hummed through the water in all directions, creating a turbulence in the depths of the sea.
Jin Yujie and the others retreated and observed their surroundings.
Such a method was in tune with their leader's character. Since he couldn't find anyone, he would lash out and clear the scene.
If someone wanted to steal their points, they would have to be close to them. The move could definitely help them find the culprit.
However, their surroundings remained empty.
Jin Tiankuang's ruthless attack only killed a few innocent fish and prawns. His efforts were futile.
The Jin leader was exasperated, his expression darkening.
He felt as if having tried his best only to realize there was no audience. It felt awkward.
Jin Yujie and the others stared at each other in bewilderment. If there's no one following us, where did our points go?
Jin Tiankuang gritted his teeth and ordered angrily, "Continue hunting. I refuse to believe we can't find the problem."
An hour later—
(@_@;)
The Jins' group were in low spirits. They had killed many star beasts, but none of the points went into their pockets. All of it disappeared…
