Absolute Great Teacher-Novel2

Chapter 966: Amongst the Humans, How Many More of Them Are As Amazing As You?

Sun Mo’s words caused some commotion to break out amongst the great teachers.

There were two reasons why they had come to the Greenhaze Forest.

Firstly, it was to search for secret treasures of darkness so that they could help their school to advance. If their performance was good, they’d be rewarded by the school.

Secondly, to get rich!

An explored land like this tended to have a tremendous amount of riches, and the great teachers naturally didn’t want to miss out on them. That was why they fell silent.

Sun Mo knew that he couldn’t force them to repay his favor, so he left them be after giving a suggestion, turning to look toward Mei Ziyu.

“Ziyu, Murong, help me bring the students out. I’ll go notify Xinhui and get them to retreat from this forest.”

Sun Mo instructed.

“I’ll go with you!” Murong Mingyue volunteered.

“That’s right, let Mingyue go with you. You’ll be able to look out for each other!”

Mei Ziyu wanted to go along, but she knew that her body was too weak and she might become a burden.

“I’ll go too!”

After Li Ruolan said that, she looked at Sun Mo with gleaming eyes that were filled with gratitude. “Sun Mo, thank you. Without you, I’d have died.”

Sigh!

She really wanted to become his woman. She’d be able to have a great sense of security with a husband like him.

It was a pity that he had a fiancée. If it was someone else, she had the confidence to fight against the fiancée. However, the other party was An Xinhui, a beautiful great teacher who was ranked fifth on the Devastating Beauty Rankings.

Alright, even without this woman, there were still Murong Mingyue and Mei Ziyu. Both of them were great beauties who were so beautiful that they would make men fall in love with them at first sight.

Sigh!

This was how helpless and worrying it was to like an outstanding man. Moreover, she couldn’t hold back!

Ding!

Favorable impression points from Li Ruolan +1,000. Reverence (38,870/100,000).

“If you want to thank me, then leave this place.”

Sun Mo looked toward the other great teachers. “You guys have seen for yourselves how strong the aboriginals are. Let me tell you another piece of bad news. The Green-robed Ancestor has come.”

“Huh? One of the five Doyens of the Dark Dawn?

The moment this name came out, everyone took in a cold gasp. A magnate like him was not someone they could deal with.

“If you guys really don’t want to miss out on this chance, I suggest you send the students back first.”

After saying that, Sun Mo looked toward Lian Fangcao. “Do you still have any medicinal powder that can prevent one from getting eaten up by the man-eating flowers?”

“I don’t!”

Lian Fangcao shook her head. There were tens of people here, and the little bit she brought with her wasn’t enough.

“Then there’s no helping it!”

Sun Mo shrugged and told the other great teachers to wait for a moment. He then pulled the green-skinned female to the side. “Time is very tight at the moment. I don’t have time to let you get more powder, so I plan on telling them the secret. If you don’t agree, then I hope that you go and do it yourself. Will that do?”

“What secret?” Lian Fangcao was stunned. “The secret to not getting attacked by the man-eating flowers?”

“En!”

Sun Mo had just nodded when the green-skinned female cried out.

“There’s no way!”

(This medicinal powder’s prescription is only known to the elder in our village. Moreover, it is only passed down to one person in each generation. How could a stranger like Sun Mo possibly know it?)

“It’s those bugs’ stinky sacs!”

Sun Mo said simply, describing how he had discovered it.

“…”

Lian Fangcao was stunned.

Sun Mo had proven it, and she couldn’t not believe it. But…

(Isn’t your observation too meticulous?)

No!

It wasn’t just observational skills. Despite being hunted down by Mu Qianlin in the heavy rain, Sun Mo could still be so calm and managed to discover such details.

(Is this the strength of a top-notch human great teacher? I was right. If we continue to put up resistance, the Greenhaze Tribe will definitely be wiped out.)

“Amongst the humans, how many more of them are as amazing as you?”

When Lian Fangcao asked this, her lips were trembling.

“…”

Sun Mo was speechless. (How am I supposed to answer this?)

He couldn’t possibly boast about himself, could he?

Most importantly, he didn’t really understand the aboriginals’ culture. What if they were to take his humility seriously?

Sigh!

It was really difficult to be an outstanding guy!

“My teacher is the top ranker on the Great Teachers Hero Rankings. Oh, this ranking lists the most amazing great teachers who are below 30 years old!”

Lu Zhiruo had been listening in at the side and couldn’t help but interject. Even her small face wore a proud expression. “After Teacher gets the 4-stars great teacher title next year, he’ll be able to get onto the Great Teacher Rankings.”

“I believe that!”

Lian Fangcao smiled bitterly. “I’ll go collect stink sacs. Thank you for helping me to keep it a secret.”

“And about that Mu Qianlin, although he is alive, he might not be able to use spirit qi again in this lifetime. If you don’t want to see him, I can help you to take care of him.”

The reason Sun Mo kept Mu Qianlin alive was so that he could use it as a favor.

“No need.”

Lian Fangcao rejected.

…

Half an hour later.

“Everyone, I hope that we’ll meet again someday.”

Sun Mo cupped his fists together.

“We wish Teacher Sun a smooth journey!”

All the teachers and students bowed in unison, thanking Sun Mo for saving their lives.

“Teacher Li, please hold on!”

Sun Mo smiled, but his attitude kept others afar.

Li Ruolan had wanted to follow after Sun Mo but stopped upon hearing this. Her face flushed up, feeling a little awkward and embarrassed.

The way he said it sounded as if she was the one making sacrifices to stay with him.

“Teacher Li, go back. This isn’t a place you should come to.”

Sun Mo advised and then left.

Li Ruolan was someone who cared about her face and thus was too embarrassed to follow him.

…

After leaving the Vile Canyon and traveling for another 15 minutes, Sun Mo took out the map after making sure that no one had followed them.

“Ziqi, remember this!”

Sun Mo instructed.

“Why do you have the map to this secret realm?”

Mei Ziyu was surprised.

“Who doesn’t have some secrets of their own?”

Sun Mo jested. He was showing the map to Li Ziqi in front of Mei Ziyu and Murong Mingyue because they were both people that he could trust.

“En!”

Mei Ziyu stopped asking.

Sun Mo had the eight-gate cloud and was also the owner of the Wind King Hall. He didn’t even hide such great secrets from them. Therefore, the reason he wasn’t telling her must be for her own good.

Friends should be understanding toward each other.

“Teacher, what’s our plan next?”

The little sunny egg asked.

Since they had the map, they had more advantages over their competitors. Hence, they shouldn’t give up.

“I feel that small shrimps like us are meant to be used for luring the snakes out of the cave. The Saint Gate is definitely waiting to benefit from watching at the sidelines. Therefore, we should retreat first. I’ll find a safe place and set up a teleportation gate. After everything settles down, we’ll secretly explore the place and strike it rich.”

Sun Mo didn’t need to think hard to understand that the Saint Gate wouldn’t let go of any Dark Dawn’s havoc. Therefore, there’d definitely be a battle between them, and he could stay away from the trouble.

Moreover, only the most elite great teachers’ expedition teams could be sent to explore the uncharted territories. They mustn’t bring the students along as it was too dangerous.

Li Ziqi had a photographic memory and managed to remember the map easily. She then left.

Sun Mo and Murong Mingyue also set off on Little Silver.

The place he was heading to right now was the biggest ruins that had the gold treasure chest labeled on the map. If An Xinhui were to use the dragon seeking pearl, she’d definitely be there.

“That’s really convenient!”

Murong Mingyue exclaimed.

With a flying ride, those dense forests, poisonous plants, ferocious beasts, as well as bugs would all pose no threat to them. The two of them quickly arrived above the big ruins.

Although this place was covered by plants like the Boston ivy, looking green all over, one could still tell that this place had once been a building complex if they were to take a closer look.

The two of them flew one round around the ruins and did a generic observation of the terrain. They then found a safe place to land.

“Didn’t the Saint Gate say that this secret realm has just been discovered? Why would there be buildings here?”

Murong Mingyue frowned.

Given the degree of the aboriginals’ development, they couldn’t have built a building like this. Or rather, it could be said that such a civilization didn’t exist.

“Could it be that all the people who came to explore this place had died?”

Sun Mo made a guess.

“I don’t know. The Darkness Continent is too mysterious. The higher the floor, the more unknown secrets there are.”

Murong Mingyue shook her head.

“Let’s be more careful!”

Sun Mo led the way, using a longsword to hack away the plants that were in their way. He had wanted to find an opening to enter the ruins but then realized that all of them were walls.

The more troublesome thing was that the walls were made from a very sturdy material. Sun Mo didn’t dare to smash it forcefully for fear of exposing his location.

After walking for another 15 minutes, the two of them found an opening. However, there were messy footprints in this place. When they walked further in, there were even corpses.

The corpses weren’t just human corpses but also a large number belonging to apes.

These apes were all two meter tall, with fat physiques, looking like boxes from the greatest weight category. Their fists were bigger than human heads.

“Are there any other routes listed on the map?”

Murong Mingyue frowned.

The people who had taken this route ahead of them might have planted traps here. Moreover, with people having passed through before, it meant that there weren’t any more valuable spoils.

“Should we enter from the sewage?”

Sun Mo suggested.

This ruin’s map was in fact listed on the map. Moreover, it was in quite great detail. This was one of the rare few chances when the system hadn’t toyed with Sun Mo.

The two of them took half a round around the ruin and finally found a three-meter-tall circular pipe amidst a stretch of densely packed shrubs.

This was the sewage system.

The metal fences blocking its entryway had already rusted. They broke after Sun Mo swung his sword and slashed twice. He then took out a spirit diamond to light up the way before entering.

A humid and cold scent came gushing over.

With the light from the spirit diamond, they were able to see the surrounding environment clearly.

As it had just rained, there was a layer of water on the ground. The mud on the bottom was moist and made squishing sounds when it was stepped on. The feeling was horrible.

The most troublesome thing was that there were mosquitoes the size of a fist pouncing toward them like bombers.

“Pharaoh, chase them away!”

Sun Mo urged.

If they were bitten by these mosquitoes, they’d definitely lose several grams of blood.

The two of them continued forward and came to a split path about 200 meters later.

“Guys to the left and ladies to the right. Let’s start exploring from the left.”

Sun Mo suggested.

“En!”

Murong Mingyue had no objection to this.

When they passed by a turn, a stretch of green lights suddenly lit up in the dark sewage pipe in front of them, looking like stars.

Sun Mo immediately activated Divine Sight.

The distance was too far and he wasn’t able to obtain data.

Hence, Sun Mo got closer and a stench gradually grew more intense. By the time he walked up to the mushrooms that were emitting green light, he no longer needed Divine Sight.

It was because he recognized these mushrooms.

“These are Ghost Mushrooms. They have the effect of stabilizing one’s soul. After its powder is processed and added to incense, lighting it up during meditation can increase cultivation efficiency.”

Sun Mo explained.

To put it simply, one wouldn’t suffer from qi deviation easily if they used Ghost Mushrooms.

“It can be used when one has insomnia, suffers from a lot of dreams, is given an excessive fright, or when they suffer from mental damage after dealing with great grief or joy.”

Sun Mo frowned slightly. “These things aren’t commonly seen and are usually found in mass burial sites—places with a lot of corpses or that are heavy in yin aura.”

“You really know a lot.”

Murong Mingyue exclaimed. She was about to ask if they should pick these mushrooms when Sun Mo suddenly pounced toward her.

Bang!

The two of them rolled on the ground and the place where they had been standing earlier was hit by three green liquid bullets.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The green bullets were a type of viscous liquid that was extremely corrosive. When they hit the walls and onto the mushrooms, white smoke immediately emitted.

“Pharaoh, how are you doing your job?”

Sun Mo let out an explosive bellow.

Hadn’t the scarab performed reconnoiter and was one step before them?

But why was he still attacked?

If the Battlegod Catalog’s Retaliation Storm hadn’t been activated, he’d have been corroded into a puddle of corpse liquid by the corrosive acid.

“Are there enemies?” The Holy Pharaoh was surprised. “I didn’t see anyone!”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Liquid bullets shot out at extremely fast speed.

“Back off!”

Sun Mo retreated while taking out even more spirit diamonds, tossing them into the depths of the passageway.

Light lit up and Sun Mo finally saw the attacker.

“A pile of mud?”

Murong Mingyue was stunned.

They were just piles of mud. If it wasn’t because they were wriggling, there was no way one could discover them.

Sun Mo activated Divine Sight.

“Trash cleaners. They are a type of intelligent creations that live in the sewer. They can engulf any kind of matter and then make use of their intensive corrosive body to digest them, turning the matter into harmless liquid and expelling it out of their bodies.

“At the same time, these trash cleaners also possess defensive abilities and thus will attack most living creatures in their territory. They will only stop when the targets are driven out or killed.”

Looking at this data, Sun Mo suddenly understood why the scarab hadn’t been attacked. From the trash cleaners’ perspective, it was just a large-sized bug that held no threat to them.

“Should we fight?”

Murong Mingyue was ready to release her puppets at any time.

“Let’s get out of this place first.”

Sun Mo took down his longbow. He didn’t wish to start fighting here for fear of damaging those Ghost Mushrooms.

Having left the passageway and seeing that those mud trash cleaners still chased them, Sun Mo didn’t hold back anymore and shot at them incessantly.

Wind God Arrows!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Spirit qi arrows shot out and pierced onto the trash cleaners’ bodies, tearing them up.

However, before Sun Mo could feel happy about it, those trash cleaners started to condense together.

“These monsters should have critical spots!”

Murong Mingyue reminded Sun Mo.

“En!”

(I don’t care what critical spots you have. It’ll be fine if I explode you guys into smithereens!)

Therefore, in the second round, Sun Mo shot out Explosive Arrows.

The trash cleaners that were hit by the arrows exploded.

Bang bang bang!

Mud splattered everywhere and a stench permeated the place.

15 minutes later, Sun Mo and Murong Mingyue took care of all the monsters and then crawled out from the sewer.

“This sign looks like a library. Shall we check out this place first?”

Sun Mo led the way.

Not long after Sun Mo left, a human figure also crawled out from the sewer. He had followed the sounds of the explosions.
