Time passed minute by minute.

“Why isn’t Wei Xun killing him??!”

Boom! A manic strand of hair directly pierced the livestream screen and tore it to pieces, and the hair which filled in the entire private base danced wildly. The sight of it would cause someone to lose SAN.

“Why don’t you do it! Is IV-1 incapable of letting himself be killed? Quickly die!”

IV-1 shuddered suddenly, feeling as if he was being viciously cursed. He was so weak that he couldn’t exert any energy, and his last shred of resistance was wiped away.

‘Are you really going to kill me?’

He finally asked in his heart, imploringly, ‘Can you not do it?’

‘You have no choice.’

Wei Xun smiled and replied, ‘I don’t believe your oath, and I don’t want anyone to affect the progress of the tour.’

‘Do you like ‘Great news, I haven’t killed you yet,’ or do you like ‘You’re a goner’?’

IV-1 glanced at him suspiciously, gritted his teeth, and finally closed his eyes without saying a word, posing as someone ready to be slaughtered. His current state of health was so bad that it would be very difficult for him to beat Wei Xun in a fight. IV-1 found that he didn’t know what Wei Xun had done to him, so he couldn’t resist him even subconsciously.

There was no other way but to gamble again.

Wei Xun glanced at the time. It was fifteen minutes before 10:30.

This was also his first attempt at controlling someone, and he should make it in time to reach the scenic spot.

Xiaojin sucked half of the blood from the butterfly tattoo on Wei Xun’s left shoulder. After turning it into pure energy, it landed back on IV-1’s body and slowly injected this energy into IV-1.

This was the suggestion that Xiaojin had buzzed to Wei Xun when Wei Xun was wondering if there was any way to completely control IV-1.

‘Master, buzz, why not turn him into your slave, buzz, buzz?’

‘Slave?’

Wei Xun was very interested in learning more about it. He got to know that abyssal demons had the capability of enslaving others in addition to devouring each other to increase their strength. Attaching themselves to the strong and becoming a slave of the strong was also a good way to advance in strength. For example, Xiaojin had taken the initiative to find him and had offered his loyalty to become stronger.

‘It’s just that he is too weak. He has not awakened his own form, and he needs Master to help him.’

IV-1, who was so weak that he had no form, was a slave, and Xiaojin, who was very capable, was a servant. These were different statuses.

In other words, IV-1 had no mutation form yet. And Wei Xun’s blood, especially blood from the butterfly tattoo, held a powerful energy according to Xiaojin. And when the blood was injected into IV-1’s body, it would activate his mutation form.

IV-1, whose mutation form was activated by Wei Xun, would always be loyal to him from now on, unless there came a day where IV-1’s bloodline was stronger than Wei Xun’s. Otherwise, he would always be Wei Xun’s slave.

This was why the sentence Wei Xun had said, ‘you’ll be my dog,’ held dual meanings.

Xiaojin said that the smell on IV-1 was very similar to that of an inferior demon dog from the abyss. If Wei Xun was in his mutation form, he would definitely be able to tell this from the smell from IV-1.

This was why Wei Xun’s words gave a shock to IV-1!

One must know that the bigwig tour guide that IV-1 had wanted to take refuge with had promised that if IV-1 could complete the task handed to him, they would help IV-1 activate his mutation form! IV-1 dreamed of becoming a more powerful tour guide, but he didn’t dare to mutilate himself so that falling to zero would be activated. He was afraid that he would really die. Furthermore, he was not qualified to participate in the tour guide assessment.

Having the bigwig tour guide take action to activate his mutation form—that was the only way IV-1 could think of. And the reason why he believed so much in the tour guide who did not reveal their code name and only saw him as a puppet was because the tour guide had a magic mirror in his hand, which could reveal IV-1’s mutation form.

His mutation form was an inferior demon dog with bone-white flames lighting its limbs and an eye on its forehead.

Should he trust Wei Xun, or go all out?

In the end, IV-1 was powerless to resist against Wei Xun and could only hand over everything to him.

At 10:20 a.m. on September 2, in IV-1’s livestream room, under the watchful eyes of more than 40,000 viewers, everyone watched Wei Xun walk towards IV-1, who seemed to be out of strength and unable to move. He grabbed the hair of IV-1, who gave up resisting.

Then, Wei Xun severed his neck. Wei Xun was by his side, and the gushing blood fell on the gray-yellow rock mountain. The rock became blanketed with scarlet red.

[IT’S TOO THRILLING!!!]

[GREAT!]

Countless comments swept through the screen, and the tourists who had watched Wei Xun kill the slaughterer tour guide IV-1 were very excited.

“Shit!”

“It’s over, IV-1 was killed!”

The major tour groups and the bigwig tourists who were paying attention to Wei Xun frowned, and as they received various information, their expressions grew increasingly worse.

“What, you can’t squeeze into the tour as well?!”

When Mao Xiaole received a reply from the little paper figure, he stood up in shock, frowned, and his eyes were red with anxiety. Just now, he was in contact with the tour guides who he was familiar with. They shared good relationships and the tour guides had good character. He had promised them a lot of rewards, just to let them rush into the tour of Exploring The Secrets of Northern Tibet——before the Slaughterer Alliance and them!

However, the responses made him extremely disappointed, and Wang Pengpai also sighed. Not only them, but other members of the large tour parties who were optimistic about Wei Xun had also contacted the tour guides they were familiar with. They’d asked them for a favor, or promised benefits, just to beg them to help.

Wei Xun was a newcomer tourist with loads of potential, and now he was likely to grasp clues for the new tour, so they would not lose out by investing in him in advance.

However, none of them were successful!

No matter how unwilling or anxious Mao Xiaole was, he couldn’t say anything. He stared at the livestream room without blinking for a moment, as if he was afraid that if he closed his eyes, Wei Xun would be captured and tragically killed.

He murmured and stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Wei Xun in the livestream. But they were separated through the screen, and Wei Xun was thousands of miles away from him.

“Could it be that the Slaughterer Alliance really took the lead?

“Let me charge in, I want to charge in, let me charge!”

Hair Ghost II-49’s private residence had completely disintegrated. The ground was in a mess like a gust of wind had blown by, and the huge ball of hair was going nuts.

“Why can’t I head in, who, who was first!”

From ecstasy to anger and then despair, Hair Ghost II-49 had almost completely descended into insanity. Fortunately, the SAN recovery potion had allowed his sanity to hang by a thread, but at this moment, he was extremely manic.

The moment Wei Xun had killed IV-1, II-49 tried everything he could, but this opportunity that he could definitely grasp in his hands went awry! He couldn’t squeeze into the tour.

Someone must be ahead of him!

It had to be that group of lunatic idiots from the Slaughterer Alliance!

II-49 was done acting crazy. He pulled out another livestream screen, and then the entire ball of hair descended onto the screen. Thousands of hairs stuck to the livestream screen, and the string of eyes stared at the screen without blinking even for an instant.

He hadn’t failed yet. He still had a chance. Even if he was robbed by another party of the chance, he just had to kill Wei Xun before that person killed him.

The huge group of hair wriggled and slowly weaved a voodoo doll that was like a miniature human figure. There was only a face, but it had no facial features.

As long as the new tour guide was killed, the Travel Services would choose a new tour guide to go in. This was his chance.

“Slaughterer Alliance…”

The hoarse voice exuding sinister resentment gradually disappeared. While the non-poisonous puppet gradually took shape on the livestream screen, IV-1’s body that fell to the ground softly disappeared. Only the dark green cloak remained in the pool of blood.

“Sigh, I shouldn’t have, I really shouldn’t have.”

Wei Xun swayed. Cutting someone’s neck seemed to have caused a very big psychological shadow in his heart. His bright eyes darkened, and the hearts of those who looked at his eyes would melt. The disappearance of IV-1’s body surprised him for a moment, but he calmed down quickly.

One would feel that Wei Xun thought that the tour guide’s body had disappeared. He might think that it was the rules of the Travel Services or something similar.

“This is his cloak that he left behind,” Wei Xun muttered to himself and sighed.

He walked to the pool of blood, picked up the large and thick dark green cloak, and held it in his hand.

“I’ll go and meet everyone first.”

“Leader Wei, here you are!”

“Quick, quick, it’s time!”

At half past ten, Wei Xun arrived in front of the Ruins of Xiangxiong Kingdom. The tourists who had arrived early were all standing on the side of the road and waiting for him. And once they saw Wei Xun had arrived, they hurriedly clustered around Wei Xun as they approached the ruins together.

When they heard the prompt from the Travel Services [Beep, everyone has arrived at the Ruins of Xiangxiong Kingdom. Tour Guide IV-1, please read the safety precautions for ruin exploration], their high and excited emotions subsided slightly.

“Leader Wei, is IV-1 dead?” Ji Hongcai asked carelessly, asking the question that all the tourists had in mind.

Jiang Hongguang’s gaze fell even more directly on the large mass of dark green cloth in Wei Xun’s hand, his heart beating wildly.

That was IV-1’s cloak. There was no mistake about that. It was the tour guide’s cloak!

Did Wei Xun really kill IV-1?!

Facing this pair of eyes that were filled with expectations and nervousness, Wei Xun seemed to finally lift his spirits when he was surrounded by his companions. The people who saw this sight unknowingly felt their hearts clench.

Yes. It was the first time he had killed someone. Even IV-1, a tour guide that was thoroughly evil, would definitely feel bad when he killed someone for the first time.

Wei Xun took a few deep breaths, as if he was trying to tell himself it was okay. The tourists felt their hearts lift up as he did so. They heard him say slowly, “I cut off IV-1’s neck.”

The tourists: “Huh?!”

Wei Xun unexpectedly reported such big news as soon as he opened his mouth, and no one responded.

Wei Xun then said, “But IV-1 is not dead.”

The tourists: “Oh.”

Right… IV-1 was such a strong tour guide after all, it was difficult for him to die just after cutting off his neck.

Wei Xun continued, “Then IV-1 left the cloak and disappeared.”

The tourists: “Huh?!”

This was too horrible. IV-1 was not dead, so what if he hid himself somewhere and launched an assault on them later?

No one would be able to deter his attacks then!

Wei Xun said with a smile, “The Travel Services prompted me that Tour Guide IV-1 was seriously injured, and the responsibility of leading the tour will be handed over to the leader for the time being.”

The tourists: “!!”

Wei Xun consoled them, “Don’t worry, as the leader, if IV-1 appears within 500 meters of me, I will sense it in advance.”

The tourists: “YAY!”

After going through emotional upheavals, and finally calming their hearts, the tourists were very happy. IV-1 had looked badly injured before, and his face had been covered in blood, so Lin Qiming had had to carry IV-1 on his back. And now, the Travel Services specially reminded Wei Xun that Tour Guide IV-1 was seriously injured. He must be more seriously injured than he had previously been.

“Leader Wei, let’s set up the tent here first.”

Fang Yuhang smiled and said, “We have three days to explore the Ruins of Xiangxiong Kingdom!”

All the tourists were full of energy, and the loss of Tour Guide IV-1, who was seriously injured, had inexplicably pumped them with endless energy to work hard. They hoped that Tour Guide IV-1 wouldn’t come back——Even if he came back, they would beat him so much that he had to scram under the leadership of Leader Wei!

Wei Xun smiled, hugging the dark green cloak. This cloak was big and thick, and it could wrap a whole adult in it——It is more than enough to hide a small dog the size of a palm.

No wonder it was an inferior devil dog. It was so tiny.

“Okay,” Wei Xun said.

Using only a few sentences, he had given them a command. His prestige in the tour group was at an unprecedentedly high level now, and all the tourists responded earnestly.

Wei Xun told them that when they were searching for clues and exploring the ruins, he would stay in the middle of the ruins while the other tourists would search around Wei Xun’s circumference for clues. Once they found a place suspected to be underground ruins, they should mark the location and report it to him first.

After all, IV-1 didn’t die, and he was still “hiding” somewhere in the distance. If the ruins were very deep underground, it would be bad if the tourists were attacked by IV-1 when they were 500 meters away from Wei Xun.

“Leader Wei’s right!”

The tourists were all very aware of the crisis, and Jiang Hongguang really admired Wei Xun’s character. For their safety, Wei Xun actually chose to stay in the middle of the ruins and gave up his chance to search the ruins. What a good leader!

After all, many hands make light work.

Wei Xun thought about how he had clues from all directions—He had the snow leopard and ferret cub to help search for the ruins, plus the reports from the tourists.

With this kind of efficiency, presumably his title would soon be advanced to [Adventurer].

Wei Xun smiled happily, and the tourists were also infected by his laughter, and they all smiled gradually. The whole tour group was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

The author has something to say:

IV-1 [In panic]: How could Wei Xun find out that I am a real dog!

IV-1: But who cares. I’m not a human anymore, bark, bark!

.

II-49: Wu, wu, I’m trash. I have to kill the tour guides of Slaughterer Alliance to squeeze in!

The tour guides of Shepherd Alliance: Eat shit! Even dogs would not run faster than people from the Slaughterer Alliance!

Powerful tour parties: The Slaughterer Alliance wants to kill our rising star tourist! Are they seeking death!

Slaughterer Alliance, who was still searching for III-9: ???

It’s a world where only the Slaughterer Alliance has been harmed!
