My Brilliant CEO Wife

Chapter 753 - 754: The Taste of Blood

"Tank and Black Tortoise lead the way up ahead, Xiao Rou stays in the middle, White Tiger and I will bring up the rear!" Yun Hao thought for a moment before giving a suggestion, but it sounded more like an order."You stay in the middle, you can't use your Inner Strength right now!" Tang Rou shook her head upon hearing Yun Hao's words.

"It's fine. If you and White Tiger are in the back, I'm afraid you might not be able to handle any sudden situations!" Yun Hao didn't hide his concern, expressing it openly. In situations where everything is unknown, the last thing teammates should do is hide things; openness is the best policy!

"Yeah, this guy must have done plenty of bad things abroad, so he's probably more alert than us. Vermilion Bird, you should stay in the middle!" White Tiger chimed in to persuade Tang Rou.

"Come on, trust me!" Yun Hao gently pinched Tang Rou's cheeks, speaking softly as he noticed her remaining concern.

Being pinched by Yun Hao in front of everybody made Tang Rou a little shy, so she turned her head and moved to the center of the group as per Yun Hao's plan!

"Alright, let's move, and aim to catch up as quickly as possible while staying safe!" Yun Hao instructed, and the group proceeded steadily, all with weapons in hand, prepared for any potential dangers!

Yun Hao held two Asura Coins in his hand, his deep eyes continually scanning the surroundings!

The stone walls on both sides, which started off bare, now occasionally displayed some paintings, presumably carved by craftsmen when the tomb owner was buried!

Yun Hao wasn't very knowledgeable about Huaxia's history, and given that the stone paintings were slightly corroded due to ventilation, they weren't as clear as before, making it difficult to discern the dynasty!

However, Yun Hao could make out one thing: the message in the painting seemed to focus on a man riding a white horse at the top!

He wore a battle helmet and armor, wielding a weapon that looked like a spear or halberd, held aloft!

Judging by the other figures on the mural, they seemed to be bowing to the man, very reverently, their heads touching the ground!

"Whizz!"

Suddenly, there was a swift, faint sound from behind. Yun Hao stood still and glanced back, but there was nothing to be found!

"What happened?" asked White Tiger softly. He was with Yun Hao at the back and, upon seeing Yun Hao stop, naturally followed his gaze but didn't notice anything amiss.

"It's nothing, maybe I misheard, let's keep moving!" Yun Hao frowned slightly, shaking his head, signaling everyone to continue.

The noise earlier was definitely not an illusion, yet it was a straight passage behind. If someone had been there, it would be impossible not to see them when looking back!

"What now?" Tank asked, seeing three diverging paths ahead, each leading in different directions.

Yun Hao went to the front, feeling a bit troubled by the three-way junction. After exchanging a glance with Tank, they both sniffed at the entrances of the three paths, trying to catch a scent.

"No one over here!"

"No one over here either!"

After a mutual glance, they both moved to the middle path. Tank sniffed it like before, then nodded to Yun Hao, "It should be this way!"

"Then let's go this way!" Yun Hao informed everyone before returning to the end of the line!

Once they proceeded and entered the middle path, Tang Rou, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise simultaneously twitched their noses, hoping to catch a scent.

Yet, there was no scent at all!

Tang Rou looked back, her gaze questioning Yun Hao!

"The smell of blood!" Yun Hao smiled slightly, saying something even more puzzling to the others!

"Among those people, including Zheng Hua, many of them have killed before, and anyone who has killed carries a bloody scent, which can't be scrubbed away! But only those who have killed many themselves can detect this scent!"

Seeing Tang Rou's confusion, Yun Hao further explained!

"Then, do I also have a bloody scent?" Tang Rou raised her arm, sniffing lightly, yet couldn't detect any such scent!

"No, what I smell from you is an enchanting fragrance, just a light sniff would make one lose themselves, unable to escape!"

With a fascinated expression, Yun Hao seemed to be indulged in what he claimed was Tang Rou's scent!

Hearing Yun Hao's words and seeing his lewd expression, the other three felt an urge to punch him in the face; this guy was too shameless!

He's simply a pinnacle in the realm of shamelessness, a grandmaster level rogue in the field of rascaldom!

"Pervert!" Tang Rou spat softly, blushing as she turned away to continue onwards, secretly smiling. This guy is really awful, flirting with her in front of so many people!

But does she really carry such a scent?

Why had she not noticed it herself?

What Tang Rou didn't know is that Yun Hao was telling the truth: as a seasoned playboy, every girl had a unique scent to him, these were their natural body fragrances!

Yun Hao has always believed that no perfume smells better than a girl's natural scent, provided the girl is beautiful; otherwise, it might dampen one's appetite!

"People up ahead, conceal yourselves!"

After walking a bit more, Tank suddenly moved towards a stone wall on one side. Black Tortoise was slightly slower, and after the group hid, Tank continued, "Six people, standing far apart, not weak in strength!"

"I'll handle the two deepest in, finish the other four in three seconds!" Yun Hao squinted slightly as he peered inside, then decisively made the call!

"Take action!" With Yun Hao's low command, the two Asura Coins in his hand were hurled out!

The four followed quickly, rushing at the remaining four with lightning speed!

"Swoosh swoosh!"

In a moment, before they could react, all were struck down! Two had Asura Coins embedded in their throats!

The other four were also killed instantly, with no chance of survival, unable to utter even a final word!
