Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 718 - 370: Green Snake World, Great Mighty Dragon_3

[Task Three: Aid your faction in defeating the opponents.]

[Reward for success: Each team member will receive 10,000 Reincarnation Coins.]

"Oh, so this is the reincarnation task? Seems like there's not much difficulty."

Qin Shou nonchalantly closed the task interface. Li Mu and the others rushed to his side with anxious expressions.

"Mr. Qin, if the other team joins Bai Suzhen's faction, we won't be able to make a move against Fa Hai." Li Mu said urgently.

Qin Shou raised an eyebrow. "Is that so? Well then, let's find Bai Suzhen first!"

"Boom...!"

Those words had barely left his mouth when the cloudless, sunny sky suddenly turned dark. Thick clouds gathered, and torrential rain poured down.

Black and white energy flickered in Qin Shou's eyes as he gazed toward the distant pier.

"It has begun. Today is the day Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian... meet. To the pier!"

"Understood."

...

At the pier, a simple and earnest scholar was braving the downpour, shouting toward a small boat drifting away from the shore.

"Boatman! Boatman!"

Inside the wooden cabin of the small boat, a seductive woman in a green dress lazily leaned on the shoulder of a woman in white, looking at the scholar drenched in the rain with an air of mocking amusement.

"Hehehe, sister, is this simpleton the one you've taken a fancy to? He seems so naïve. Why don't I just help you eat him?" Xiaoqing teased, her tongue flickering faintly like a snake's.

The woman in white had an exquisitely beautiful yet steady face. She cast a sidelong glance at Xiaoqing and said, "Xiaoqing, stop messing around. You're not allowed to say such things about eating people."

"But sister, I was only joking!" Xiaoqing complained, hugging her sister's arm playfully.

"It's true, Miss Bai. Xiaoqing is lively and mischievous, but cute and innocent. There's no way she'd actually harm anyone—you can rest assured."

A handsome, scholarly man in white robes behind them spoke up in defense of Xiaoqing.

Bai Suzhen cast a quick glance at him, and a hint of guardedness flickered in her eyes before she quickly concealed it and returned a polite smile.

"Brother Wang, you are absolutely right. I also trust that Xiaoqing wouldn't really do such a thing."

Yet Xiaoqing ignored the comment, pouting and snapping back, "Wang Snake, I'm talking to my sister. Who gave you the right to interrupt? You better quiet down and not disturb us while we watch that simpleton!"

"Xiaoqing..." Bai Suzhen's gaze signaled her not to speak recklessly.

Wang Snake's expression darkened slightly, but since his plan required him to join Bai Suzhen's faction, he swallowed his anger and forced a carefree smile.

"It was my mistake, ladies. Please don't take offense."

Xiaoqing turned away from Wang Snake defiantly, muttering under her breath.

"Half-human, half-monster garbage, pretending to be some refined scholar..."

Wang Snake clenched his teeth as resentment brewed in his heart.

...

"It's Wang Snake!"

Inside the lakeside tavern, Li Mu stared at the familiar figure on the virtual screen inside the small boat, his expression grim.

"It really is them. How could they know about our plan?" Shi Yun's face darkened.

"Someone in our team must have leaked the information!" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Damn it! Wang Snake is one of the Mirror Knights, and his contracted beast is serpent-like. Perhaps he used this aura to disguise himself as a snake demon to align with Bai Suzhen."

"Damn it! Does this mean we're going to fail again?"

Their hearts sank as they lost hope for the success of the task.

But Qin Shou was different. He pointed to the small boat about to dock at the pier and smirked. "Don't be so quick to declare defeat. As long as we gain Xu Xian's approval, Bai Suzhen will have no choice but to comply."

"But Mr. Qin, Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian are about to meet. Wang Snake will surely take this opportunity to gain favor with Xu Xian—we won't make it in time."

"Exactly. In faction tasks like this, before successfully joining a faction, neither side is allowed to attack the other."

Qin Shou shook his head. "Then we won't attack. We'll simply delay Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian's meeting."

"Are you planning to make a move on Xu Xian or Bai Suzhen?" Li Mu gasped.

"No, just scare them away."

Qin Shou snapped his fingers, and instantly, the sound of a dragon's roar thundered through the heavens. A massive, hundred-foot-long Little White Dragon descended from the dark clouds, carrying an overwhelming aura as it surged toward the West Lake.

"White Dragon!"

The group was stunned.
