Reincarnated as a Mosquito, the School Beauty I Sucked to Tears is a Reborn Empress

Chapter 27: Chapter 27: An Opportunity at Hand Is About to Be Snatched Away? Chu Sheng: Don’t Panic! I Have a Plan

“Don’t move!”

The moment Chu Sheng’s Perception picked up on the dozen or so powerful auras, he hastily sent Gu Yuexi an urgent mental warning.

“Huh?” Gu Yuexi was just about to sneak into the valley, her heart full of doubt.

But out of the trust she had built in Chu Sheng’s uncannily skillful reconnaissance ability over the course of their journey, she still instinctively stopped in her tracks.

She pushed her Breath Concealing Technique to its absolute limit and soundlessly hid with Chu Sheng behind a massive, half-a-man-tall rock, even holding her breath.

Before long, the sound of hurried footsteps, heavy with killing intent, approached from the distance.

The moment Gu Yuexi saw the newcomers through a crack in the rock, her cool pupils constricted violently, and her breath caught in her throat.

’Jingzhe Guild… the Shadow Fang Squad!’

She was horrified, recognizing at a glance the distinctive black Combat Suits they all wore.

They were one of the most elite hunting squads under the banner of the Jingzhe Guild, one of the three major Hunting Guilds in Jiang City!

As a former Empress in her past life, she was intimately familiar with all the famous powers and experts from every region.

This Shadow Fang Squad was renowned throughout the area around Jiang City for their ruthlessness and a one-hundred-percent mission success rate. They were truly hardened characters who had clawed their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

She never expected to run into them here!

’This is big trouble…’

In that instant, Gu Yuexi’s expression turned incredibly grim.

The Shadow Fang Squad had suddenly appeared here, and with the familiar figure of Hu Feng in their midst, no less.

She knew without even having to think that they were definitely here for the Eighth-Grade Demon Beast struggling with childbirth and its three cubs!

Sure enough, the group of more than a dozen people, led by Hu Feng, headed straight for the valley entrance.

At the front was a tall woman with a cold face and a sharp, knife-like gaze.

She just stood there silently, but an invisible pressure emanated from her, making the very air around them seem to freeze.

She was the captain of the Shadow Fang Squad, the long-renowned Seventh-Grade Beast Tamer, Leng Yan!

Gu Yuexi’s heart instantly sank to the bottom of the valley.

A Seventh-Grade Beast Tamer!

’What did that even mean?’

Forget the fact that she was currently just a First-Grade Middle Stage Martial Artist—even if you gathered all the students and teachers from Jiang City Lingwu High School, it wouldn’t be enough to be a snack for this squad!

Just the two of them—one First-Grade Martial Artist and one First-Grade Demon Beast—how were they supposed to snatch food from the mouths of these tigers?

This was no longer about snatching food from a tiger’s mouth; this was like trying to snatch nuclear waste from Godzilla’s mouth. It was simply courting death!

…

“Captain Leng, this is the place!”

Hu Feng’s face was filled with irrepressible excitement and a trace of lingering fear as he pointed toward the depths of the valley. “That Azure Flame Flying Lion is in there. Its aura is already extremely weak! Let’s rush in now and finish it while it’s weak!”

However, Leng Yan shot him a look as if he were an idiot, her voice as cold as her name. “Do you have any idea how terrifying the last-ditch counterattack of an Eighth-Grade Demon Beast is?”

“Er…” Hu Feng was cut short and didn’t dare speak again.

“A starved camel is still bigger than a horse, not to mention an Eighth-Grade Demon Beast with a High-Level Bloodline.”

Leng Yan’s sharp gaze swept across the dark valley as she analyzed calmly, “It’s only weak right now, not dead.”

“If we go in and push it into a corner, it could self-destruct its Demon Core and take all of us with it. You and your two dead team members are the best examples of that.”

Hearing this, the other members of the Shadow Fang Squad also showed grave expressions.

Although they were all experts at Fifth-Grade or higher, they couldn’t help but be nervous when facing an Eighth-Grade Demon Beast, even a dying one.

“The Guild Master and the other Top Notch squads aren’t in Jiang City right now. We are the only force the guild can currently mobilize.”

“This mission must succeed; failure is not an option. If we suffer losses here, there will be no reinforcements.”
