Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 160 - 112: We’ve Been Attacked by the Immortal Beast from Giant Food Mountain (2)
Not long after, the drawing was completed, and everyone’s phone displayed the same seating chart.
"Holy shit? Young Master Wang’s suspicions are completely cleared, no secret manipulation."
In the seating chart, Wang Yuanbao’s left side was a window, right side was Zhang Shan, front was Lu Yang, and back was Zhang Jian... surrounded by boys!
"Huh? Didn’t get it wrong, did it?"
Wang Yuanbao put on a face as if crying, which made his classmates burst into laughter.
A group of people immediately followed the seating chart to board the bus and sit down.
Zhang Shan and the others were assigned to the first bus.
Bai Mo was assigned to the second bus.
After getting on, it turned out that Wang Yuanbao’s family bus was amazingly different from a normal long-distance bus... The air conditioning was cool and comfortable, the fragrance system emitted a faint orange scent. The seats were wide and spacious, clean and refreshing. It felt less like a coach and more like a giant luxury business vehicle!
Bai Mo found his seat and sat down. The classmates seated around him, both male and female, were laughing and chatting, but he wasn’t familiar with them.
Coincidentally... the seat next to Bai Mo was empty, no one had drawn it during the drawing.
At this moment, several girls were already secretly glancing at this empty seat, either tugging their hair, fiddling with their clothes, or gritting their teeth, internally debating whether to just sit over and grab the seat next to Bai Mo.
After all, it’s Bai Mo!
Every time there’s an exam, if he’s present, others can only compete for second place!
An Expert of the Immortal Technique Committee, with a ridiculously high income!
In this chaotic era, he can provide a sense of security!
The Immortal Beast is an adorable fox, not creepy at all, but super cute!
If one could get to know him, become familiar, then by chance develop connections, have sparks fly unexpectedly and fall deeply in love... graduating from college and getting married... just thinking about it is a dream come true!
Several girls did not sit in their drawn seats.
They paused in the aisle, stopped by the seats, trying hard to pick faults with their seats...
They all had similar thoughts — just casually call out a little fault like "the seat is dirty" "the seatbelt is too loose" "the air conditioning here is too cold," and then naturally say, "Oh dear, I can’t sit here, is there another empty seat? No one is beside Bai Mo? What a coincidence? May I sit there?"
But to their frustration, this damned luxury bus from Wang Yuanbao’s family doesn’t have any faults to pick!
The seats were brand new and clean, seatbelt perfectly tight, air conditioning breeze crisp and refreshing without being overwhelming...
Just then, they saw Bai Mo’s Immortal Beast, that chubby fluffy red fox, sit earnestly in the seat next to Bai Mo. It even mimicked human actions, using its fox claws to fasten the seatbelt, securing its round belly.
Well...
No chance...
...
The classmates all settled in, the large bus started smoothly, rolled out from the school gate, left the campus, and entered the road amidst traffic.
Bai Mo sat by the window, adopting a comfortable posture.
Listening to the chatter of classmates inside the bus, he reached out a hand to touch Black Tail’s head and stroke its neck.
Black Tail cozily leaned toward his master, tilting its head, squinting its eyes, and its mouth curved up with a smile. Sitting on this big bus was quite boring, not interesting like the Big Mushroom Ship on Fox Mountain. But having Master beside him made the fox very comfortable!
...
The two buses sped along the way, gradually leaving the bustling city area, then passing through the sparse suburbs, took a turn at a fork, and entered the thick West Ridge Mountain Range.
Bai Mo saw through the window, the scenery outside gradually became more lush with green grass, chaotic with trees, and rugged with rocks.
In the bus, classmates also took out their phones, started taking photos of the scenes outside the window, ’click click’ sound filling the air.
"The scenery is really beautiful."
"Take a few more shots, post them on Moments."
"Show them to my mom when I get back."
Suddenly, by the mountain road ahead, there were a series of off-road vehicles parked, with "Immortal Technique Committee" printed on the side.
A girl from the front row turned back, smiling brightly.
"Expert Bai Mo, look, it’s your organization’s vehicle!
"Do you know what they’re doing?
"Can you tell us?"
Bai Mo hesitated for a moment.
"I don’t know."
The girl looked slightly embarrassed and turned her head back.
Bai Mo and Black Tail continued their gaze out the window.
Master and disciple both saw a team of people, who climbed up the mountain and entered the distant dense forest. Among them, one person was holding a Mycelium Silk Gloves meant for searching Immortal Grass, it seemed like they were here to search for Immortal Grass in this mountain range?
"Have you learned how to use them?"
The Mycelium Silk Gloves indeed had a backdoor. If they detected several hundred or even thousand-year-old Immortal Grass, they’d send a danger alert to the Committee, and simultaneously, emit a signal... The signal receiver was hanging on Bai Mo’s keychain, a small mycelium ball. Upon receiving the signal, the mycelium ball would vibrate with varying intensity based on the signal content.
Until now, no one knows how much exploration has been conducted by the Committee... But Bai Mo’s keychain has never vibrated. Apparently, the Immortal Grass in the current world is not as abundant as imagined.
...
The bus continued to venture deeper into the mountains, with the grass on both sides growing thicker and greener, the trees taller, and the rocks becoming more rugged.
Suddenly...
Screech...
The car came to a sudden halt on the road.
Many students were jolted but were luckily strapped in, and now they were all clamoring.
"What happened?"
"Why did we stop suddenly?"
"Have we arrived?"
Bai Mo and Black Tail also raised their heads and looked forward.
They saw the driver in front turning around to explain.
"Don’t worry, students, there were falling rocks ahead, not very safe."
Everyone only then noticed that one side of the road was a steep cliff, and in front of the road lay a millstone-sized rock, covered in dirt, right in the middle of the road.
The driver took out a walkie-talkie and spoke to the driver of the vehicle ahead.
"Hello, hello, hello? Old Zhang? We found falling rocks on the cliff here, did you notice anything from the front?"
"Hello, hello, hello? We just passed, didn’t see any falling rocks."
"We have already left the falling rock area."
"Alright, alright, then just wait a bit, we’ll wait too to confirm no more rocks are falling, then we’ll catch up."
The driver was experienced on the mountain roads and waited a few minutes without seeing more falling rocks. He got off, looked at the cliff overhead, observed for a while, and saw no signs of falling rocks. He then decided to move the rock off the road, got back on the bus, and prepared to continue.
But due to the rock blocking the way, the distance between the two vehicles was now quite far.
...
The front vehicle had already stopped, waiting for the rear one to catch up.
Fatty Wang Yuanbao stood behind the driver’s seat, frowning with frustration after hearing the driver’s report.
"We just came out to have fun, why’d we have to encounter falling rocks?"
"How far are they behind us?"
"Young Master, they are about five or six hundred meters behind us."
"Falling rocks are a random occurrence, it’s confirmed they won’t happen again, they’ll catch up soon."
"It’s just a floor of the pedal!"
Wang Yuanbao nodded and returned to his seat, positioned next to Zhang Shan, putting on a smile and chatting with Zhang Shan and the others.
He organized this event not for the girls... to be honest, despite being fat, he was rich and never short of girls. His goal was Zhang Shan, Lu Yang, and Yu Tingting, specifically these three star Immortal Technique Committee members.
The current Immortal Technique Committee is a super powerful department.
The interactions and relationships with the three of them naturally become super valuable.
"Where were we in our conversation just now?"
"The gigantic immortal beast that opens cans, you suspect it’s from Giant Food Mountain?"
"What kind of deity is this Giant Food Mountain? Is it powerful?"
Zhang Shan lowered his voice, acting all mysterious and professional.
Despite his understanding of Giant Food Mountain being all from forums, lacking any real insider information... it didn’t affect him showing off.
"This Giant Food Mountain is the Immortal Sect on the Beast Taming Path."
"The same path as Expert Bai Mo!"
"But their immortal beasts tend to drop your sanity points, usually enlarged mice, chameleons, bugs, that sort of thing."
"It’s all about being creepy!"
Wang Yuanbao frowned.
"Enlarged mice?"
"How big can they get?"
Zhang Shan was about to find a way to describe it when he suddenly froze, staring blankly at the window behind Wang Yuanbao.
He gasped for air.
"This... damn it... this is freaky..."
"As for exactly how big, you’ll immediately find out..."
Only to see Zhang Shan pulling out his phone urgently!
This was a special version by the Committee, using satellite signal communication, ensured to have sufficient signal even in the deep mountains, and can maintain communication.
Zhang Shan, trembling, casually tapped into a group chat, pressed the voice key, and sent a voice message.
"We are under attack by the Giant Food Mountain’s immortal beast!"
