Roar, roar, roar...
The Mountain Ghost roared in anger, its eyes blood-red, filled with fierce light, and its fangs bared as if it wanted to swallow us whole. With the Black Tortoise less than two meters away from us, suddenly a powerful suction force rushed towards us, nearly causing me to drop the Thunderclap! I exchanged a glance with Xianxian and saw a glint of ruthlessness in his eyes; his smile was even brighter and more dangerous!
Without saying a word, I threw the Thunderclap towards it. Due to the strong suction, even without throwing it, the Thunderclap would be drawn into its mouth. Was this poetic justice?
"Boom!" "Boom!" Two massive explosions echoed through the sky, and at the same time, a wave of heat surged towards me. I could only minimize the damage to my head as I was thrown heavily backward. I didn't know where I landed, but my throat burned as I spat out a mouthful of blood.
Shakily standing up, we no longer looked at the Mountain Ghost. Although it was certainly heavily injured and now was the best time to kill it, we were too close to the explosion and had also sustained injuries. If we lost control now, we would be the ones dying first! After weighing the pros and cons, Xianxian and I decided to retreat for now; after all, we still had Thunderclap in hand and weren't afraid of dealing with this Mountain Ghost.
Back in the Tomb Hole, everyone was indeed inside. Upon seeing Xianxian and me, they rushed over with concern to ask about our injuries.
I had to commend Gao Liang's medical skills; he not only treated our wounds but also re-bandaged Lime's injuries.
"The Old Tortoise has strong recovery abilities; it won't be long before it’s bouncing around again," Xianxian spat disdainfully.
Looking at the bandages on my hands, I recalled that the Old Tortoise—no, the Mountain Ghost—seemed a bit off emotionally. So I asked, "How much Thunderclap and gunpowder do we have left?"
"We have two Thunderclaps left, and as for gunpowder, just one pack. Who would have thought this outing would be so troublesome!" Wang Yi spat irritably.
I nodded; with only two left, we needed to use them wisely and deliver a fatal blow at a critical moment!
As for its whereabouts, if it wasn't too foolish, it wouldn't come looking for us immediately. Of course, I couldn't speculate much on the Mountain Ghost's intelligence; one thing I could be sure of was that it would seek revenge!
Looking at Lime's injuries made it clear that the Mountain Ghost was definitely fixated on him and wanted him dead. The way it focused on me after I struck it showed its intent.
"Where did that Old Tortoise even come from?" Snow Princess asked while resting her chin on her hands.
"Don't look at me; I don't know either," Li Hui replied calmly.
Everyone's gaze instantly shifted from Li Hui to Lime, and I couldn't help but look over as well. Could it be that Lime did something bad to it?
Lime opened her dark eyes and slightly curled her lips, speaking in an extremely calm tone, "I burned down its nest."
"What? You burned down Old Tortoise's nest!?"
It's no wonder everyone was surprised; even I couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. So it was true! No wonder the Mountain Ghost was so furious; its nest had been completely destroyed. How could it not be angry? How could it not go mad?
Not only were Xianxian and the others astonished, but Li Hui also widened his eyes in disbelief, staring intently at Lime. I couldn't help but laugh, "I really didn't expect you to find its nest."
"Master Qing truly is astonishing; when he makes a move, it's always impressive!" Wang Yi exclaimed with shining eyes.
Xianxian smacked him on the back of the head and scolded, "Shut up! What Master Qing? Call him Big Brother! Can our League of Shadows' three main forces be defeated by an ordinary person?"
"Yes, Boss!" Wang Yi chuckled and bowed to Lime, saying, "Brother Qing, please take care of your little brother Wang Yi from now on!"
"Pfft," Snow Princess couldn't help but burst out laughing and shot a glance at Wang Yi, "Look at you!"
"I want to ask, how are the personnel and deployment arranged in our League of Shadows?" Zhao Yang asked with a smile.
Xianxian stroked his chin, "Our League of Shadows is different from other organizations, so the deployment is also different."
"Right!" I nodded and smiled lightly, "You all know the meaning of our League of Shadows' name; let's not discuss that for now. We only need three captains who will report directly to us three." As for who those three were, everyone here knew very well.
"Each captain can have one to two assistants, who will be vice-captains. Only members at the captain level can access high-level secrets within the alliance. As for the confidentiality level, you can decide for yourselves."
Seeing Xianxian's cheerful expression, I couldn't help but smile and said seriously, "Now, Wang Yi, Gao Liang, Zhao Yang, you three will serve as the first captain, second captain, and third captain respectively. You can recruit your own team members, but they must be loyal to the organization. As for Snow Princess, she will be Xianxian's special assistant. How do you think my arrangement is?" The last sentence was directed at Xianxian.
"Good! Naturally excellent!" Xianxian gave a thumbs up.
"Alright, no problem, leave it to me!" Wang Yi patted his chest, full of confidence.
Gao Liang and Zhao Yang both nodded in agreement, their eyes shining with excitement.
"And now, let's address the question you all care about the most." Except for Fu Song, who looked confused, and Lime, who remained calm, everyone else was looking at me with eager eyes. "I will assign the special tasks to them. If any of you have trouble determining whether a team member is loyal, that can be easily resolved. We will conduct a 24-hour continuous test without any gaps; to put it bluntly, it's surveillance. As for safety concerns, there's absolutely no need to worry because ordinary people will never discover it!" As I said this, I deliberately glanced at Fu Song, and sure enough, he looked up at me in shock, seemingly unable to believe my words.
I couldn't tell if it was intentional or not, but Wang Yi looked at Fu Song and cheerfully said, "Naturally, there's no need to worry. Unless that person has a pair of Ghost Rings like Brother Feng, they will definitely not be able to see the watchers!"
"Exactly!" Gao Liang chimed in.
Fu Song shivered all over and looked at us with disbelief, asking me in astonishment, "You can see ghosts?"
Before I could answer, Wang Yi eagerly boasted, "Not only can he see them, but he can also control them!"
"Alright, let's not scare the kids right off the bat." Xianxian gave Wang Yi a light smack on the back of his head and lazily leaned against the wall. "You handle the covert operations; I'll take care of things on the surface. As for Lime, he can manage whatever he likes." After a pause, she added, "In the future, you won't need to worry about accommodation either. With the formation in hand, no evil spirits or monsters can get in!"
Just moments ago she was saying not to scare the kids; now she's exuding such a strong presence? Heh heh, seeing Fu Song's changing expression made me find it amusing.
"Good!" "Good!" "Good!" Wang Yi and the others clapped their hands in approval.
And just like that, a simple yet special organization—the League of Shadows—was officially established within the Tomb Hole!
