The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1286 - 1285: Using Heimao

"Me go? My strength isn't up to it, if I alert the enemy, everyone will have a hard time. Think about it, if I go and something happens, who's going to tell you what to watch out for later? Don't you agree?"Tang Rao handed the task of distracting the Demon Beast to Heimao, and Heimao thought about it, thinking it wasn't unreasonable.

He has a one hundred percent success rate in attracting Demon Beasts, and wanting to take it easy by having Tang Rao go would directly reduce the success rate by half.

Tang Rao still had a significant role later on, which wasn't worth the risk.

"Then I'll go, you find a chance to kill the Demon Beast!"

Heimao glanced at Tang Rao, not too willing but still moving forward in disguise.

When Heimao wasn't paying attention, Tang Rao flicked a small object sticking it to Heimao, but Heimao, fully focused on the Demon Beast, didn't notice the extra thing on his back.

"Chirp chirp chirp."

Heimao imitated a bird's call and threw a Stone over to the territory, causing a commotion.

The Demon Beasts heard footsteps on Heimao's side and sent two Demon Beasts to check.

"Who's there?"

The Demon Beasts didn't see anyone but still shouted for appearance's sake.

"Me."

Heimao was startled by his own voice.

What was he doing?

Why did he involuntarily speak?

"Who's there, come out!"

This time, Heimao got smart, covering his mouth, not wanting to make another sound.

Yet a sound still came out, this time it was Heimao's fart.

The fart noise seemed amplified, a thunderous blast that scared the Demon Beasts two steps back.

To be able to pull off a stunt like this, Heimao is really something.

"Tang Rao, go get them!"

Heimao shouted softly to Tang Rao not far away.

Wasn't he aware the Demon Beasts were out? What was he doing, standing there dazed?

"Oh, oh, I thought the distance was still quite small, didn't want to disturb the other Demon Beasts at the back, could you lure these few out a bit more?"

Seeing the Demon Beasts about to reach Heimao, Tang Rao's words were certainly late.

Tang Rao saw the prank was about done, so he drew out the Soft Sword and stabbed one of the Demon Beasts from behind.

Just two low-level Demon Beasts, solving them was really too easy. Why was Heimao able to kill these two guys but so reluctant to do it?

"Done!"

Tang Rao clapped his hands, tossing the trouble in front of Heimao.

"What happened to you just now, I almost thought you were in cahoots with the Demon Beasts, scared me to death."

Tang Rao pretended to have his heart racing, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and started complaining to Heimao.

At this moment Heimao's mood was complex; if he could explain why he farted and talked, he wouldn't feel like he was under some curse.

"Don't mention it, this matter is too bizarre to explain."

Tang Rao didn't bring it up either since he'd done something guilty, mentioning it often might make Heimao realize.

"We need to disguise ourselves as these two Demon Beasts quickly, take their stuff, don't let others see through us."

Luckily these weird-looking Demon Beasts weren't too troublesome to impersonate. Tang Rao skinned them, with their smell still lingering; unpleasant as it was, it could at least mask their scent.

"Better play dumb, let me do the talking for now."

Heimao still didn't quite understand, a few words from the Demon Beasts could probably expose him.

"Okay."

Both of them got ready, and Heimao also agreed with Tang Rao's plan. As they stepped into the Demon Beast territory, Heimao was still trembling, due to the unknown ahead, Heimao was now extremely tense.

"What's going on up ahead, someone intruded?"

A leader-looking Demon Beast approached, questioning Tang Rao and Heimao.

Heimao listened to Tang Rao, staying silent.

"Just some clueless herb picker this guy killed, ended up eating the herbs they picked and poisoned himself mute."

Tang Rao said, giving Heimao a kick. Though Heimao felt uncomfortable, upon seeing the leader say nothing more and just continuing patrol without asking many questions, he relaxed.

There were so many people collecting herbs up the mountain daily, knowing it's Demon Beast territory, they can't blame the Demon Beasts for being ruthless.

"You're really something, coming up with that excuse."

Tang Rao and Heimao smoothly passed the interrogation, taking the opportunity to move further up when no one was around.

Whether this stretch reached the top of the mountain, Tang Rao wasn't sure, and Heimao definitely depended on Tang Rao, not daring to leave him for half a step.

"Is this really the mountain path? Why does it feel off?"

Ahead of Tang Rao, there was a broad road. As Heimao thought Tang Rao would take this road, he chose the smaller path instead.

"Nothing's off; the mountain just had rain, only the small path has mud prints, the main road doesn't, why do you think that is?"

With a hint, Heimao understood.

No footprints on the main road, because it's obviously a trap; the small path is the Demon Beasts' choice.

"Good thing I didn't kill you back then, left you alive."

Heimao said involuntarily.

If he had thought like Purple Hair and Yellow Hair, not keeping Tang Rao back then, did he want to climb the mountain? Halfway up, Heimao's corpse would be lying there.

"Shh, someone's up ahead."

Tang Rao didn't want to hear Heimao say anything about his wise choice or how he was insightful for keeping Tang Rao; he just wanted him silent.

Before them, Tang Rao saw others sneaking up the mountain like them.

"Don't know if they're allies or enemies."

Tang Rao asked Heimao.

Aside from Heimao's group of three, who else knew about the Seven-colored Dragon on Lion Mountain?

"Probably enemies, better keep a distance."

Heimao knew deep down, he definitely recognized the people ahead and had grudges, going up now and getting discovered by them would lead to conflict and be bad for everyone.

"I thought only you knew about the Seven-colored Dragon, seems many want to snatch it from you too."

Many have come to die.

This was truly what Tang Rao thought.

Think the Seven-colored Dragon is easy to find or deal with? Just reading that book made Tang Rao sense danger, at least with his current strength he wouldn't dare approach it, let alone take on that behemoth.

"Whoever dares snatch it, I'll make sure they pay, who do they think they are?"

See, Tang Rao knew Heimao recognized those people ahead; he denied it just now.

Tang Rao intentionally closed the distance with them; dressed like Demon Beasts, people ahead couldn't recognize them. Yet Heimao, feeling nervous and guilty, only dared to tail from behind.

"Up ahead is a flat area; we can rest there."
