Identity Exposed
Tyron and the others jumped into action, ready to kill the sudden intruder. The intruder was a long thin monster that span several meters across the floor.
The long thin creature had broken through Amos defense and had its poisonous fangs buried deeply into his thigh. Amos didn't even have the time to scream before he fell limply onto the ground. He had been poisoned.
"Master!" Ian and Xue Yiran had also noticed the sudden commotion. When he saw Amos drop limply onto the ground, Ian cried out and ran over.
"Stop." Kai's hand reacted faster. He immediately grabbed Ian on the collar and pulled him backward. The monster was still alive and kicking. Him dashing over is the same as sending himself graciously into the monster's mouth.
Xue Yiran also came over and stood beside Kai. Ian was desperately struggling under Kai's clutch, wanting to free himself out.
The information about the monster came into Xue Yiran's view.

The Green Viper Snake left its fallen prey and dash towards the corpse of the Ant queen, ready to steal the Ant queen beast core.
Tyron who saw this immediately shouted out, "Stop its movement!"
For the Green viper snake to suddenly appeared means that it must have been lurking around in the surrounding area. The commotion of their battle with the Ant queen must have attracted the monster over.
Indeed, it has.
To all beasts, whenever there's a fight ongoing, it's the same as announcing to them that there's a free meal for them to eat. Surely, the Green Viper Snake had a free meal by snacking on the corpses of the ants littered around.
The Green Viper Snake stomach acid is incredibly toxic, enabling it to break down the huge Ant corpses in a matter of seconds. Earlier, it has saw these group of people fighting against the Ant queen. It immediately became greedy and wanted to steal the Ant queen beast core for itself.
Although it had maxed out on its growing potential. But who knows if it noshed on the ant queen beast core, perhaps it would be able to break into the S rank and become one, among the top bosses in the vast wildland.
However, as a smart beast, the Green viper snake didn't charge forward but instead lay low in a corner, only ready to take advantage of the situation once the fight is over. With its green skin color, it was a perfect camouflage in a place filled of green grass and trees.
Milo, Miley and Ryker immediately began to attack the monster.
Atlas swiftly dragged Amos body away from the battle area.
The Green viper snake immediate plan was to grab the ant core and escape the place with its swift speed, since it knew that it couldn't fight against the huge group. But it had underestimated the Tyron team members ability and was immediately bombarded with attacks from all side, ending it life. After seeing that the snake was dead, they all scampered over to Amos who was being attended to by Atlas.
"Is he okay?" Gael asked worriedly when he saw Atlas administering his healing ability on Amos.
"The Green viper snake venom has spread all through his body. If it had been a little late, the venom would have gotten into his heart and he would have died." Atlas stated.
"Master!" Ian freed himself from Kai's clutch and ran over to where Amos was laid. The hood covering his head fell along with his charge, but he didn't seem to have noticed it. He knelt beside Amos body. Amos covering had also been removed; as a result, Ian was able to see his pale face. "Please save my master. Please." He begged.
Everyone was taken aback by the familiar face of the young man before them. Wait a minute, isn't this the...
Atlas immediately snapped back to reality and gave Ian an assurance. "Don't worry. Since the poison hasn't reached his heart yet, with my healing ability, I'll surely be able to cure him."
"Thank you so much. Master, do you hear that. You are going to be fine. So, stay with me." Amos was still conscious and was able to hear Ian heartfelt words.
[What in the world... I knew it. I knew that there was something strange about the way he was looking at you. What is he doing here?]
With his pictures all over the internet, there was no way Susu wouldn't recognize Ian's face. He had also met the other party during the interschool competition. Isn't this the famous crown prince of Starry Sky Planet. What is he doing out here in the wild?
The toxin inside Amos body was soon cleared out. Shortly after, his pale face was starting to become rosier.
Amos slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Ian worried face. He instantly felt that something was off, but he couldn't pinpoint what that feeling was.
'Wait a minute. The crown prince face...'
"Your face."
"What did you say, Master?" Ian didn't hear what Amos said and brought his ear closer.
"Your face is uncovered." How could his hood have fallen. Does it mean that his identity has been exposed.
"Oh." Ian suddenly came to realization when he felt the touch of light breeze on his face. His mind had been filled with concern about Amos welfare, neglecting the fact that his hood had fallen.
Since they were gathered around him, Amos words reached everyone's ears.
"We didn't know that the Crown prince was out here for a mission." Tyron stepped forward and bowed. "I apologize for putting the crown prince safety at stake. I hope that the crown prince can pardon the Tyron guild shortcomings."
Correspondingly, the others followed Tyron actions and bowed, except for Xue Yiran. But thinking that it would be weird being the only one with her head up high, Xue Yiran also follows suite.
"You don't have to tender any apology to me. My master and I had concealed our identity on purpose in order to prevent people from recognizing us. So, there's no need to apologize to me."
"Thanks for your lenient, your highness. We'll make sure to keep his highness trip to the wild as a secret." Tyron vouched.
"Then, I should thank you all." Ian gave a light smile.
Although the sudden appearance of the crown prince in their midst did stun them, the Tyron guild members still carry on their task. They went about, picking the valuable parts off the corpses of the ant. The ants queen beast core was stored away by Tyron. Who knows whether another monster like the Green Viper Snake might pop out and snatched the beast core.
Quite a number of the ant corpses had been swallowed by the snake, but compare to the numbers still littered around, it was like a drop of water in the ocean.
The few struggling ants who were still alive were ended in a stroke. Ian and Amos didn't join them in picking up the loots. They sat by a corner discussing among themselves.
"How do you feel, Master? Is there any discomfort in your body?" Ian asked.
"No, I'm all okay. The toxin in my body has been cleared out." Amos replied to the worried Ian.
"That's a relief." Ian's mind calm down. Seeing that there was nothing else to say, he looked in the distance at the group of people who were picking the valuable parts of the ant corpses. "I thought that they would have a huge reaction when they discovered my identity. It's good to see that none of them pay any special attention to me. However, I'm not sure if they will still let us be a part of their team. What do you think, Master?" He turned his head to Amos.
"I'll discuss this with their leader." Amos was also worried, especially now that their identity has been exposed.
Once the spoils were totalized, Tyron brought Ian and Amos their share of the contribution. Even after discovering that Ian was the crown prince and Amos was his teacher, Tyron in the first place never had a thought of ripping them off.
"Thanks so much. Hum… can I discuss something with you, Mr. Tyron?" Amos requested.
The two then went to a corner to talk. No one knows the content of their discussion, but it seems like both Ian and Amos were still part of the group.
