Chapter 494


A Pig-Like Teammate
Translated by Kollumceti of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Jiang Liu’s face has been treated and his eye sockets were covered with a damp cloth. It did not seem that bad from the You XiaoMo’s point of view. At most, his face was a little pale.

You XiaoMo hesitated for a bit before he dismissed his intention of continuing to watch. If Tang ZhongHua suddenly came back and saw him, You XiaoMo would definitely be hounded by him since that old guy’s strength was about the same as his.

Thinking of this, You XiaoMo put the tile back once again.

Things like tiles had to be gently handled, otherwise it would make a sound with just a slight collision and the sound would be magnified several times in the silent night.

You XiaoMo felt that he had taken all precautions, but when he placed his feet on a certain piece of tile, a ‘ka-cha’ instantly sounded and he couldn’t help but curse in his heart.

What kind of broken tile was this? The quality obviously could not pass the quality check!

“Who is it?”

The people inside the house had been alarmed by the movement on the roof, including Tang ZhongHua who had just returned. His reaction was even faster than the guards and he flew onto the roof in less than a second.

Seeing a shadow that was about to disappear into the night, Tang ZhongHua chased after it without demur.

Though the guards did not chase them, they had already notified the City Master and informed him of the direction that You XiaoMo had escaped in. It would be difficult to escape unscathed from the City Master’s mansion without any fuss if You XiaoMo made himself an easy target.

You XiaoMo fled as if his ass was on fire. This was the first time that he had such a rough start since he came to this world. Not only did he not find the dragon blood, he had also been discovered.

He could only run towards a direction that was unpopulated. The map of the City Master’s mansion was already not of much use now. In order to catch them, every exit in Xing Luo City had long been patrolled by the guards.

“Fuck, they’re chasing me too closely!”

You Xiaomo swept past a branch and looked back at Tang ZhongHua who was hot on his track, like a debt collecting nuisance. You’re not even the City Master’s guard, why are you working yourself to the bone ah?!

He did not know that Tang ZhongHua was under the impression that he had stolen the dragon blood. Since the dragon blood was his objective, he naturally could not let You XiaoMo take it away.

You XiaoMo turned his head and looked at the dense forest ahead. The inky-black forest seemed to be sparsely populated, but he would truly become a fish in the barrel if he burst in. After hesitating for a moment, he turned into the direction of a building that had fewer signs of people.

Taking advantage of the cover of the dark night, You XiaoMo put on a burst of speed and plunged in. His figure was gone in a instant.

Tang ZhongHua landed in a courtyard and found that it was the West side of the City Master’s mansion. Apart from the side room, this was the place with the least guards and he could not help but frown.

This thief seemed to be very familiar with the terrain of the City Master’s mansion. Could it be an inside job?

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, a team of fifteen guards suddenly rushed into the courtyard. The captain of the team saw Tang ZhongHua and immediately walked over.
