Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 962: Harvest

Many aboriginals were chasing Sun Mo and Murong Mingyue, and they were all elites. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to join Mu Qianlin’s hunting group.

It was a pity that the two humans he wanted to hunt today were no ordinary people.

“Those fellows are really good at pursuit!”

Sun Mo felt his scalp turning numb.

Even someone with his constitution was panting after rushing for such a long distance. However, those green-skinned aboriginals were still getting closer unceasingly.

Murong Mingyue would occasionally toss out a puppet and lay ambushes. She didn’t hope to kill them and only wanted to buy more time.

As the distance became closer, Sun Mo and Murong Mingyue could see the beanstalk more clearly.

It was made up of a few beanstalks intertwining and looked a little like a fried dough twist. It was gigantic and so tall that it reached the clouds. This was especially so if one stood near to it and glanced upward. The sense of pressure would simply cause one to feel despair.

“I feel that I’m like a tiny ant!”

Murong Mingyue sighed.

More exactly, everything in the Greenhaze Forest was frighteningly huge.

The seven-spot ladybugs at the side were as large as calves. As for the stalks of grass here, they were as tall as a human.

Also, this beanstalk was like a stairway to heaven.

“You go first!”

Sun Mo supported Murong Mingyue.

“Right!’

Murong Mingyue didn’t act coy and immediately climbed up the beanstalk.

There were also green leaves growing on the stalk, and they were like clouds. If it wasn’t for the fact that Sun Mo and Murong Mingyue were being pursued by people, it would surely be an enjoyable experience to climb up for a picnic.

“Brother Lin, they are climbing the magic beanstalk, what should we do?”

Upon seeing this scene, the aboriginals panicked.

Legend had it that this beanstalk had been growing here for several thousand years. In the past, some aboriginals had gone up before. But in the end, their bodies were found amidst the man-eating flower field.

Some corpses were found near to the beanstalk and some were tens of meters away.

Each aboriginal child, when they were still young and ignorant, would be warned repeatedly by their parents to never climb this beanstalk. If not, they would be cursed and their souls would dissipate after they died.

It was said that up above was the country of the gods.

Mu Qianlin’s brows furrowed tightly.

It was fine if the two humans died. But if they angered the gods, what would happen if the gods cursed the tribe as a punishment?

“We have to hurry up and kill them!”

An aboriginal suggested.

“I feel that we can just ignore them.”

Another aboriginal brought up a different opinion as he sighed with relief. All those who had climbed the beanstalk died. There were no exceptions.

“The first team shall follow me and continue to pursue and attack. Pancao and Muxu, you guys stay below here, and the others should return.”

Mu Qianlin instructed.

“Brother Lin, let us go together. What if those two humans have flying-type battle pets?”

An aboriginal was worried.

Since they had the advantage in numbers, they could take breaks in turns while pursuing and maintaining the sense of pressure on their enemies.

“No need for that.”

Mu Qianlin shook his head. “Also, if that fellow has a flying-type battle pet, why didn’t he take it out previously to flee?”

One must know that Sun Mo was surrounded by perils when he escaped. If he had a trump card, he would have long since used it.

“Go!”

Mu Qianlin took the lead.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Sun Mo had a top-level herb on him, Mu Qianlin would have just allowed his subordinates to do the chasing.

Bluntly speaking, this was greed. He wanted to take the herb for himself.

Because in the tribe, there was a rule. During a mission, whoever obtained a battle spoil could take it, leaving the scraps for the others.

If Mu Qianlin returned now, he wouldn’t be qualified to get any spoils.

Sun Mo held onto the beanstalk and peered downward. Those aboriginals had now transformed into green sesame seeds, and he couldn’t identify any of them due to the unclear vision.

“I hope that leader chases us personally!”

Sun Mo could only pray.

Huala~ Huala~

The heavy rain fell non-stop.

The two of them continued climbing higher and suffered even more. As the altitude became higher, the wind grew even more powerful. The gusts of wind also brought along the rain, which pelted them, causing them to be drenched.

Their hair and clothes were wet and stuck to their body. It was very uncomfortable.

The aboriginals bared their shoulders, and they really enjoyed the feeling of climbing in the rain. Truthfully speaking, they felt some trepidation and excitement from breaking the forbidden rule as they climbed the beanstalk.

This feeling made them want to throw their heads back and howl at the sky.

Ever since they were born, they could see this beanstalk, but none of them had climbed it before. If they said they weren’t interested, that would be a lie.

What sort of place was at the top? Were there deities staying there? These were all things they wanted to know.

(We are guarding the god country!)

The aboriginals consoled themselves silently. They felt that if they were thinking of this, they wouldn’t be punished. At the same time, the faster they climbed, the more they wanted to know what was at the top of this beanstalk.

Mu Qianlin stared upward and narrowed his eyes.

(Should I slow down?)

(If I gave the two humans a chance and let them reach the peak, wouldn’t I have a reason to head there too?)

(No, given their strength, they would probably fail to reach the top.)

Ai!

Mu Qianlin heaved a sigh of relief.

In his life, he had two goals. Firstly, to become the chieftain. And secondly, to ascend to the top of this beanstalk.

How difficult!

(However, I, Mu Qianlin, feel no fear. The more difficult things are, the better as the more challenging they will be. In the future, I will have all the chances I want to ascend to the beanstalk’s peak. But today, we have to kill them first and seize their treasures. After that, I have to rush back to the holy ground and kill the other invaders.)

Mu Qianlin decisively made his decision and hastened his climbing speed.

“Mingyue, how are you feeling?”

Sun Mo glanced downward and felt his head spinning a little.

The scenes below could no longer be clearly seen. There was only a vast expanse of mist.

He was grumbling to himself, ‘This daddy isn’t afraid of heights, but isn’t the altitude currently too high?”

In the modern era, Sun Mo tried walking on glass planks at a great height before. But the altitude of that platform, when compared to this, was like the difference between an ant and an elephant.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he had Little Silver as a trump card, Sun Mo might have chosen to fight head-on against Mu Qianlin and not continue climbing upward.

“I’m still okay. It’s just that the beanstalk is a little slippery!”

Murong Mingyue’s expression didn’t change.

Right now, the two of them were climbing by using daggers and digging them into the stem. If they were to climb bare-handedly, they couldn’t even grab it.

“Your heart is so large!’

Sun Mo was impressed.

One must know that they didn’t take any safety precautions. If they made a mistake, they would fall to their death. However, Murong Mingyue’s expression was still so calm.

Sizzle~

The chasing cloud dagger pierced into the beanstalk with difficulty. Green sap flowed out and drenched Sun Mo’s hair and skin.

Sun Mo couldn’t care about his current image. He discovered that the higher they climbed, the tougher the beanstalk was. The difficulty of digging into the stem with their daggers also increased.

After an hour plus, the rain hadn’t stopped, but Sun Mo and Murong Mingyue were already near the black cumulonimbus cloud.

“Are we still climbing?”

Although Murong Mingyue’s expression remained unchanged, Sun Mo could hear some worry from her tone of voice

After all, there were usually no chances for humans to reach such an altitude.

Also, at such a height, there was some slight swaying of the beanstalk from the powerful winds as well.

“Climb, increase our speed as well!”

Sun Mo urged.

When the two of them arrived at the clouds while panting, the golden sunlight streamed downward and was somewhat blinding.

Sun Mo immediately lifted his hand and shaded his forehead.

Luckily, there were leaves here that could block some of the sunlight. Moreover, the beanstalk was thick and strong enough. After they repositioned themselves, there was a large stretch of shadow that could provide shade. If not, their skins would surely be peeled from the heat.

“You should continue to climb. I’m going to take action!”

Using the clouds as cover, Sun Mo could leave. He didn’t ask Murong Mingyue to leave with him wasn’t because Little Silver wasn’t able to let two people mount on it. Instead, they needed to set a bait and let their enemies know that there were still people above them. Otherwise, what would happen if their enemies decided to retreat?

“Mn!”

Murong Mingyue had no complaints.

“Little Silver, hurry and come fetch me!”

Sun Mo didn’t want to alarm the enemies, so he didn’t shout loudly. As the owner, he could transmit his thoughts mentally to his spiritual beast.

For the next few minutes, Sun Mo anxiously waited.

No matter where he went, Sun Mo would always be prepared for a rainy day and get Little Silver to wait for his orders. He was only worried that Little Silver might be too playful and went around exploring locations too far away from him.

Luckily, Little Silver was much more reliable compared to that damn bird.

Very soon, a cloud glowing with a silver light arced through the sky. Because its speed was too quick, it left behind a silvery stream.

This cloud was in the form of the Eight Trigrams and looked full and bulging, like it was made from cotton candy. There was a sense of endearing cuteness.

Creak!

Little Silver stopped before Sun Mo.

Sun Mo leaped and pulled Evil Vanquisher out before pointing forward. “Move out!”

Swoosh~

Little Silver soared through the air.

Although he now had a mount, Sun Mo wasn’t preparing to fight the green-skinned aboriginals head-on. He wanted to observe them first before attacking.

The beanstalk was very thick, but it was impossible for two aboriginals to climb it side-by-side together. Moreover, the physical capabilities of the aboriginals had differences.

After an hour plus of climbing with high speed, the distance between each aboriginal grew greater. The furthest in terms of distance apart was about 50+ meters.

“It’s over, my performance is so weak. Would I be chased out from the hunting group?”

Tengben had a face filled with worry.

Mu Qianlin only wanted elites in his group. And according to the performance of each individual, the weaker ones would be told to leave periodically to make space for new members. Tengben was worried that he might be expelled from the group.

With such worries on his mind, Tengben basically didn’t have time to look below. He had to focus on climbing up.

Little Silver’s flight was truly akin to the flowing clouds in the sky, like a white steed galloping through the heavens. It was soundless. Hence, after Sun Mo circled one great round and soared upward from below, Tengben basically didn’t notice anything.

Sun Mo held his breath and attacked with lightning speed.

Finally, the sound of wind breaking attracted Tengben’s attention. He subconsciously turned his head, but it was already too late. The sharp sword directly sliced his neck.

A head fell down from the air, and the expression on his face was still one of puzzlement.

Sun Mo held his breath and continued upward. He beheaded two more aboriginals, and when he reached the fourth, the other party just so nicely glanced downward and saw him.

“What?”

The aboriginal was greatly alarmed. Just when he wanted to shout a warning, the Evil Vanquisher in Sun Mo’s hands was thrown over.

Pu!

The sword pierced the neck of the aboriginal and pinned it to the beanstalk.

Little Silver carried Sun Mo and flew near. Sun Mo pulled his sword out and the aboriginal immediately fell.

“So, if I use the correct battle strategy, killing people is even easier than cooking a pack of instant noodles.”

Sun Mo’s lips twitched.

However, Sun Mo’s good luck ended here. Just when he continued to fly upward and was preparing to kill the fifth aboriginal, the other party suddenly turned and shot arrows at him.

The aboriginal had discovered Sun Mo, but he didn’t reveal any sounds because he was preparing to sneak attack Sun Mo instead.

Woosh~

Arrows that were akin to shooting stars shot straight for Sun Mo.

Too quick!

Sun Mo tried to dodge to the side and activated the Invincible Battle God.

As expected, he failed to evade. Luckily, he had this invincible skill.

Ding!

After the arrows struck Sun Mo’s shoulder, they were repelled off.

“That human is below.”

The aboriginal roared loudly and continued firing.

“Since a sneak attack didn’t work, let’s clash head-on then!”

Sun Mo’s lips curled. “Little Silver, charge!”
