Chapter 1900 – A Stunning Hunt (3)
Iry dragged the corpses of the four ghost wolves and returned to the spring.
The originally scattered undead teenagers, sitting at the edge of the spring, suddenly stood orderly on the edge of the spring for some unknown reason. Each and every one of their faces looked discouraged as they bowed down silently.
“What’s wrong with you all?” Iry looked doubtfully at his strange companions, his head full of questions.
Just as Iry questioned them, a tall figure slowly emerged from behind a nearby boulder. His gray skin was a contrast to his firm facial features. It was an elderly high undead.
After seeing the other party’s appearance, Iry’s expression suddenly changed. He immediately put down the rope tied to the ghost wolves’ bodies and stood stiff in place.
“Mentor Kehr!” Iry was shocked by the sudden arrival of the high undead.
Kehr was one of the top ten mentors of Deathfire Academy and ranked second only to the dean. The task of Iry’s group was assigned by an ordinary mentor. But only Iry knew that the real origin of this task was actually Kehr, so he had to complete it no matter what and get his favour. This was why the task was too important for him.
In addition to his mentor status at the Deathfire Academy, he was also a member of the royal family of the undead. Unlike the parasites in the royal family, he was a very good leader. After Sal was sent to the Hidden Dragon Continent, the undead army in the Howling Abyss was actually taken over by Kehr.
It could be said that Kehr had a pivotal position throughout the Howling Abyss.
Iry had no idea why the boss behind this mission would suddenly run into the Forest of Death.
Kehr’s sharp eyes swept over the four ghost wolves behind Iry, and something flickered within his eyes.
“Iry, did you kill all these?” Kehr asked in a lowered voice. The powerful momentum coming from him scared the undead teenagers around.
Iry swallowed his saliva and struggled for a long time before he said, “No.”
He had no courage to cheat Kehr.
“Oh? Who did it, then?” Kehr asked.
Iry gritted his teeth. He didn’t expect Kehr to be here in person. He intended to bring the ghost wolves’ corpses back to the Deathfire Academy with his companions after the mission ended and say that they killed it together. But now he was caught red-handed by Kehr. Iry himself had no ability to kill four ghost wolves alone. Even if he said so, Kehr would not believe him.
“Yes… It’s a low undead.” Iry answered with prudence.
“Low undead?” Kehr’s sharp eyes flashed slightly. If he weren’t sure that Iry had no courage to lie, he would have really thought that Iry was deceiving him.
Iry took a deep breath and said, “Asking Mentor Kehr to allow us the chance to redeem our mistake, we… We really have no power to kill the ghost wolves. When we entered the Forest of Death, we were attacked by a high undead creature. At that time, we happened to meet a low undead…”
Iry told Kehr about their encounter with Shen Yanxiao and also narrated Shen Yanxiao’s two battles systematically and in full detail.
Kehr listened quietly, with deep eyes that made his thoughts unclear to others.
After a long time, Kehr looked at Iry, who was covered in a cold sweat, and said, “This low undead called Yan Di you are talking about, where is he now?”
“I don’t know. He said he was going to find the fifth ghost wolf and had me come back first.” Iry lowered his head.
