Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

A huge display screen stood outside the mountain, and sitting in the center of the front was undoubtedly the patriarch of each family.

Hua Chaochao arrived a few minutes after the trial started.

She walked to a less crowded seat at the back, and as soon as she sat down, someone sat down next to her.

"..."

It’s really haunting.

"Ms. Ye, you don't mind me sitting here, right?" Yi Mu asked.

If I say I mind, can you just walk away?

Hua Chaochao complained in her heart, but she remained polite on the surface and responded with a smile: "Of course I don't mind."

His eyes then turned to the front, where the display screen was playing the scene inside Giant Beast Ridge in real time, and the performance of each trial-taker was clearly visible.

Yi Mu also looked at the display screen, but asked casually, "Is this Miss Ye's first time in Xuanzhou?"

Hua Chaochao paid attention to the situation on the screen and responded simply: "Yeah."

Yi Mu: "Me too."

Hua Chaochao was too lazy to pay attention to him.

He asked himself again: "Does Miss Ye like the God of Wealth?"

……how?

Test her?

boring.

Hua Chaochao replied perfunctorily: "Normally."

Yi Mu said, "I like it."

Hua Chaochao: ...I didn’t ask you.

Yi Mu didn't seem to notice her coldness and continued to ask her several questions.

At first, Hua Chaochao patiently responded with a few words, but as the questions became more and more, she finally couldn't stand it anymore. She turned her head and looked at him with obvious dissatisfaction in her tone: "Sir, if you want to talk to someone, please find someone else."

Yi Mu's innocent expression: "But I just want to talk to you."

Hua Chaochao: “…”

"But I want to watch the trial quietly."

Yi Mu: "Okay, look, I won't bother you anymore."

He was afraid that she would leave in anger.

Hua Chaochao forced a far-fetched smile on her face: "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Hua Chaochao refocused her attention on the screen, but Yi Mu's eyes were always on the profile of her face, thoughtful.

He wondered if she had her own reasons, or was being watched by people from another world, so she had to pretend not to know them.

Hua Chaochao ignored the intense gazes from the people beside her and focused her attention on the screen that belonged to Hua Xi.

Come on, there's a surprise she prepared inside.

Inside the Behemoth Ridge.

Qi Kang's small team consists of five people, headed by him, and members come from various families.

They have been following Hua Xi since entering Giant Beast Ridge, deliberately making some noises in an attempt to attract ferocious beasts to attack Hua Xi.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. For some reason, we did not even encounter the shadow of a ferocious beast along the way.

This made Qi Kang even more convinced that this trial was to "open a back door" for Hua Xi, otherwise how could it be so smooth.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and his face became terribly gloomy.

Seeing this, the younger brother beside him said cautiously: "Brother Kang, how about we think of another way?"

Qi Kang gritted his teeth and said, "Keep following me. I don't believe I won't find an opportunity."

They were not worried that what they said would be heard by people outside the mountain. In the trial, competition was allowed, and as long as it did not endanger their lives, some small tricks were also tolerated.

Everyone continued to follow Hua Xi, but as time went on, not only did they not find an opportunity to deal with Hua Xi, but they became more and more confused in the forest.

"Brother Kang, why does this place feel so eerie? Is there any danger?" another younger brother said in a trembling voice.

Qi Kang also felt something was wrong, but he didn't want to show his weakness in front of his brothers, so he straightened his back and said stubbornly, "What are you afraid of? I'm here."

Just then, a cold wind blew by, and the wind seemed to be mixed with the breath of ferocious beasts.

Hua Xi in front stopped.

Immediately afterwards, a huge beast suddenly appeared like a ghost.

It looks like a wolf but not a wolf, and like a tiger but not a tiger. Its fur is a strange dark purple color with strange patterns faintly flowing on it, as if they are runes of some mysterious power.

His eyes flashed a ferocious red light, and his fangs were so sharp that they seemed able to pierce steel plates easily.

Every breath it took was accompanied by a low roar, the sound waves making the surrounding leaves tremble.

Hua Xi's hair was slightly lifted by the wind, and she stared at the suddenly appearing beast with a serious expression.

When Qi Kang and his brothers saw the ferocious beast, they turned pale with fright.

Qi Kang's forced calmness disappeared in an instant, and his body involuntarily stepped back.

"Kang, Brother Kang, this, this beast doesn't look like it's only at the eighth level of martial arts." The younger brothers were terrified and their voices were trembling.

Not only is it not similar, it is far beyond the ordinary!

Judging from the pressure it exudes, it is very likely that it has surpassed the ninth level of martial arts!

"Run!" Qi Kang turned around and ran in the opposite direction without thinking.

Seeing this, the younger brothers didn't care about anything else and followed him, fleeing in a panic.

This scene was projected in real time onto the display screen outside the mountain. The four clan leaders stood up suddenly, their eyes full of shock.

"How can it be?!"

Song Guwei's eyes widened, and he was the first to question, "Hasn't the beast king level beast been extinct for many years? How come there is still one?!"

Shen Lingtan and Qi Man were still in shock and speechless.

Li Qingchi looked unhappy. He didn't expect such an unexpected event to occur in his plan.

Song Guwei said angrily: "I didn't agree to set the trial location at Giant Beast Ridge in the first place, but you didn't listen. Now the children are in danger!"

The scent sachets have no effect on beast king-level beasts.

Li Qingchi tried to stabilize the situation and said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to blame, hurry up and find a way to save people!"

Qi Man reacted and agreed, "Yes, saving people first!"

Song Guwei's voice was almost a roar: "Save? How to save? Who dares to go in and save? Is there anyone here who can beat it!"

Anyone below the ninth level of martial arts will die if they enter.

It would take at least five or six ninth-level martial artists working together to suppress the Beast King.

The only people who have reached the ninth level of martial arts here, including Hua Xi inside, are the three clan leaders outside, Li Qichen, a total of four martial arts practitioners at the ninth level.

Li Cenyuan was not present. He had been sent away by Li Qingchi to other places yesterday, and it was too late to call him back now. If he came by the time, almost everyone inside would have died.

Li Qingchi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Okay, let Qingyuan come over."

"It's too late. Zhousheng College is too far from here."

Zhousheng College is located at the southernmost tip of Xuanzhou, and Giant Beast Ridge is at the northernmost tip. Even if the car is driven at the fastest speed, it will take two hours, and these two hours are enough for the beast king to kill everyone in the ridge.

Li Qingchi took a deep breath and said, "It's not too late. He's nearby."

Li Qingchi had thought about asking Hua Chaochao for help, but considering that she was a variable, he had to give up the idea and turn to look for Qing Yuan.

"Why don't you call him over to help!"

Song Guwei no longer had time to think about why Qing Yuan was nearby. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Ever since the disappearance of the teenager, the remaining young generation of the Song family were almost all in Ling. If they died, the Song family would be seriously damaged and it was unknown when they would be able to recover.

Everyone outside was worried about the people inside, except Hua Chaochao.

She was the only one sitting there calmly throughout the whole process. Even Yi Mu couldn't help but stand up and stare at the display screen.

Hua Chaochao's lips curled up slightly.

Surprise.
