Chapter 187: Survival of the Fittest
Lao Ma was momentarily taken aback and said, “What kind of creature is this? Tell me more.”
Lu Chen then described the appearance of the three-eyed monster he had seen the previous night to Lao Ma, though he left out the details of the brief yet thrilling and dangerous battle.
After listening, Lao Ma frowned and thought for a while before shaking his head. “I’ve never heard of such a strange beast in this world before. Let me look into it for you.”
Lu Chen knew that besides being well-informed, Lao Ma had many connections. Over the years, Lu Chen had developed great trust in Lao Ma’s information network. He nodded, “Alright.”
Lao Ma pondered for a moment, then looked at Lu Chen with a puzzled expression. “It’s strange! A beast so savage would likely claim many lives. How could it appear in a place like Kunlun Mountain?”
Lu Chen nodded in agreement. “Indeed, I thought the same last night. It’s baffling. I’ve never heard anyone mention such a creature, nor was there any news about it before. Could it have appeared suddenly?”
Lao Ma’s expression darkened, and he lowered his voice. “Could it be that someone is targeting you…”
Lu Chen fell silent, then said, “Probably not. The only people who might hold a grudge against me are the Su family, but with Su Qingjun around, they wouldn’t dare act rashly. Besides, Su Tianhe personally visited Feiyan Terrace to reconcile with his daughter. They wouldn’t make any sudden moves at this critical moment.”
Lao Ma nodded slowly. “You have a point. Still, I feel like there’s some undercurrent in Kunlun Mountain lately. Be careful.”
