96 – Who Is Prey
In the center of Savage Beast Island, at the top of a mountain.
At this time, most of the members of the Band of the Cheetah gathered here. There are twenty plus gangsters here and they all have guns and emit baleful auras.
In addition to the gangsters, there are also twenty or thirty students here and they all have their hands and feet tied, unable to move. Some of the students were beaten black and blue and shed blood.
Han Shan and the other students from Zhengde High School are here, as well. They were captured as they tried to leave the range of the jammer.
As a result, they were tied up and brought to this place. They were even tortured along the way. They are all from rich families and have never suffer such treatment before.
“It’s over, we’re done for.”
“We tried to escape, yet who knew that we would just fall into the hands of these gangsters.”
“If I had known, I would have followed Xia Ping. I wouldn’t have suffered such treatment.”
The students have a bellyful of regret! They wanted to escape from the clutches of the gangsters, but then discovered that it is basically impossible! The whole island is currently the territory of the Band of the Cheetah!
However, it was already too late once they learned this.
“Damn it!”
Han Shan’s face is deathly pale. Much like the other students, he also has a bellyful of regret. He is the No. 1 expert of Zhengde High School, an 8th layer Martial Apprentice, yet he was beaten by the outlaws like a dog.
If things go on like this, he will really die at the hands of these outlaws. These ferocious characters don’t care about his little life.
He is full of regret. If he stayed with Xia Ping, he might not have suffered such treatment. But it’s too late to say anything now. He can only pray for someone to save him.
“You didn’t find the murderer who killed scar and them?”
Boss Lin Bao stared at the students, brimming with murderous aura. It was because of their companion that the Band of the Cheetah suffered heavy losses.
“We didn’t.”
An underling replied solemnly, “But after a round of torture, we found a person who is likely to be the murderer. He is called Xia Ping. According to their testimony, Xia Ping was the one who killed so many of our brothers.”
His teeth oozed intense murderous aura.
“Xia Ping!”
Lin Bao clenched his teeth, as if he wants to engrave these two words deeply in his mind. It was this student who caused a large number of deaths in his Band of the Cheetah. He cannot not bear his name in mind.
“You didn’t find the guy’s whereabouts?” He stared at the underling.
The underling shook his head: “We interrogated the students several times. None of them knows where Xia Ping is. It seems that they parted ways.”
“However, someone claimed that Xia Ping didn’t run away, but instead intends to hunt us.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Bao clenched his fists. He became furious: “Presumptuous! A student still wet behind the ears dares to talk big and claim that he wants to hunt us?! That he is the hunter and we are prey?!”
He was livid. This is the first time he met such an arrogant student. While faced with violent and cruel gangsters, he is not only not afraid, but he even intends to hunt them?
It should be noted that even elite policemen tremble with fear when they hear that the Band of the Cheetah is coming! Yet a student still wet behind the ears dares be so arrogant!
“Boss, we have stationed a lot of people nearby.” The underling sneered, “If the guy comes, we will kill him at once and avenge our brothers.”
He revealed dreadful murderous aura. Evidently, he is really angry, as well. For a mere student to want to hunt them, the Band of the Cheetah is being underestimated.
“When you find the guy’s whereabouts, inform me at once. I will personally remove his head from his shoulders.” Lin Bao snorted coldly. He had never wanted to kill someone as much as he wants to kill Xia Ping now.
“Yes, boss,” The underling shouted immediately.
At this time, a man walked over and said, “Boss, everything is ready. The Bloodfruits will mature in half an hour. We’ll soon be able to start.”
“Half an hour?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Bao clenched his fists, and his eyes surged with scorching color. He waited for several days. The time has finally come for the Bloodfruits to ripe.
If he can get his hands on the Bloodfruits, he’ll be able to easily advance to the Martial Practitioner realm. At that time, the world will be his oyster.
“Great, we’ll go there immediately.” Thinking till here, Lin Bao said in a deep voice, “Make sure there are no mistakes. We must get the Bloodfruits.”
“If anyone makes a mistake, I’ll kill him.”
Awed, the underlings don’t dare to be careless. They responded immediately, “Yes!”
“Let’s go!” Lin Bao waved his hand, stepped forward at once, and came to the top of the mountain. He stared at the large tree in the valley in front of him. There are three bright red fruits growing on it. They are the Bloodfruits.
In addition to Lin Bao, the other members of the Band of the Cheetah also showed greed in their eyes.
……
At this time, at a nameless hill two or three kilometers away, a figure quietly appeared on the top of the hill. But no one from the Band of the Cheetah noticed the figure.
Te figure is Xia Ping. He followed the scent of the gangsters and finally reached the center of Savage Beast Island. When he arrived at the place where the Band of the Cheetah gathered, he found this strange valley.
“No way, are these Bloodfruits?!”
When he saw the three red fruits growing on the towering tree, Xia Ping immediately recognized them as the legendary Bloodfruits.
There are all kinds of rare and valuable treasures in the world. In fact, in the Physiography class in high school, you learn about all kinds of unique fruits that grow on Flameyellow Star and are of great benefit to martial artists.
However, these fruits of heaven and earth aren’t things that can be easily found and are really expensive. Most people will never have a chance to acquire them.
“Awesome, there are three Bloodfruits here. No wonder the Band of the Cheetah appeared on Savage Beast Island. They came for the fruits.”
Xia Ping understood at last why the gangsters came to this uninhabited island. They came because of the Bloodfruits, the extremely precious fruits of heave and earth.
He knows that Bloodfruits are said to be watered with the blood of countless savage beasts over a period of 100 years and are exceedingly valuable. One such fruit is worth 50 million federal credits.
If they are put on auction, it wouldn’t be strange to auction them for 100 million credits each. The three Bloodfruits are equivalent to 300 million credits.
“Ordinary people can commit murder for millions of credits. If it’s for 300 million, there would be people willing to slaughter entire villages.” Xia Ping clenched his fists and revealed a bright gleam in his eyes.
He wants the three Bloodfruits.
