Chapter 71
71 Immaturity
Beelze had been sleeping for almost two hours when she felt a hand covering her mouth. Her eyes opened, and a flash of killing intent appeared in them. It did not matter the friendship that formed between her and Cain. She would never allow anyone to abuse her.
However, when Beelze saw Cain’s eyes, there was no lust in them, only an intense sense of worry and a wisp of dread. She immediately understood that things were not as simple as they seemed and focused.
The first impulse in Beelze’s mind was to use the A.I. Chip to communicate with Cain, but she understood that there must be a reason why the young man did not do that.
Cain nodded once he saw Beelze remained calm and took his hand out of her mouth. He pointed to the distance, to a shallow swamp.
Beelze’s eyes widened, and the same worry that Cain showed appeared in her eyes. Near the shallow swamp were two older men, one of them was bald and with a large body, while the other had gray hair and a skinny complexion.
The reason for the duo’s worry was that despite the distance, they could feel a sharp aura from them, meaning that their cultivation was, without a doubt, above Level 4!
It would take everything of Cain and Beelze to face a single Level 4 Wave Warrior, assuming this one did not have Wave Artifacts. However, the two men were not only above that level, but the metallic structure covering their spines made it clear they had powerful armor.
There was no way Cain and Beelze could defeat the duo; to make things worse, they had no idea why they would show themselves in a place like this.
Although the mission to hunt Salar Jones was open to cadets and soldiers, there was no way something like this would draw the attention of people at the duo’s level.
