Capítulo 1044: Chapter 654: Pleading for rcy
A few people borrowed the moonlight, heading southeast for nearly half a night before they arrived in front of a majestic mountain.
Fortunately, they didn’t encounter too much danger along the way. When they arrived at the mountain, seeing the many tents pitched on the open ground around them, Liu Hun and Wu Dao exchanged a glance, their faces both lighting up with a smile.
It was clear that they had reached their destination.
“Hahaha, I, Hu Hansan, have finally returned!” Wu Dao stood in front of a small hill and shouted loudly to the people in front of him.
As soon as Wu Dao’s words fell, those who were resting in the tents were awakened, and they walked out to look at Liu Hun and others on the small hill.
“Young master, are you alright?” So of Wu Dao’s subordinates rushed to the foot of the small hill, asking Wu Dao with concern.
“I’m fine, just encountered so small trouble on the way.” Wu Dao responded to his subordinates cheerfully.
“Dr. Liu.” Old Bai also ca over to Liu Hun and called him softly.
Liu Hun rely nodded at this; then he asked Old Bai, “You guys didn’t encounter any danger along the way?”
Judging from their numbers, it seed like they hadn’t lost many people, which puzzled Liu Hun a bit.
Despite facing so many dangers, if this group encountered none, it would really be outrageous.
“After we escaped from those Jungle Beasts, we had so minor troubles on the way, but nothing too dangerous. Why, did you encounter so big trouble?” Rarely, Old Bai spoke so much to Liu Hun.
From the ti Liu Hun knew Old Bai, this guy had always been sparing of words, so this ti Liu Hun was sowhat surprised.
“We did face so big trouble, but fortunately, we survived.” Liu Hun took a deep breath, not wanting to dwell too much on the past events at this mont.
Anyway, they were all fine now.
Looking ahead, he saw Qin Tao and others standing at the bottom of the small hill. Without hesitation, Liu Hun led everyone towards the open ground below.
“Thank you for your hardship.” Qin Tao said to Liu Hun and Wu Dao in a deep voice.
“What the hell does a re ‘hardship’ an? If you experienced the dangers Liu Bro and I faced, you wouldn’t say such things so easily.” Wu Dao rolled his eyes and replied to Qin Tao in annoyance.
Qin Tao was well aware of Wu Dao’s personality, so he didn’t mind. Then, he continued to speak to Wu Dao and Liu Hun, “This should be the mountain that is our destination. However, it seems like we’ll have to wait until tomorrow morning to enter, so tonight we still need to wait for a while.”
“Damn, if Liu Bro and I couldn’t make it back in ti, would you guys have entered without waiting for us?” Hearing Qin Tao’s words, Wu Dao was a bit displeased.
Qin Tao didn’t deny it, as their main goal this ti was to enter and seize what was inside. After all the hard journey, giving up for two people was not an option for them.
Seeing Qin Tao’s tacit consent, Wu Dao wanted to say sothing, but Liu Hun calmly said to him, “Alright, since we’re here, let’s rest well. Tomorrow morning, when the mountain opens, we need to be in full strength.”
After Liu Hun’s words, Wu Dao pursed his lips and stopped arguing with Qin Tao.
Watching Wu Dao, who seed like a little follower, with a smile on his face following Liu Hun, Qin Tao frowned slightly.
Qin Tao knew Wu Dao’s temper very well; for soone as unruly as Wu Dao to willingly follow an unknown person like Liu Hun was exceedingly strange.
Neither Liu Hun nor Wu Dao paid attention to Qin Tao’s thoughts. Upon arriving at the venue, this ti Liu Hun was wise not to head towards the open ground.
Moreover, there were already several tents in that central area, clearly belonging to Qin Tao, and Liu Hun and Wu Dao were happy to let Qin Tao take the lead.
Although Qin Tao and his group had not faced much danger on their way, Liu Hun and Wu Dao knew very well that although they were at their destination, if the Xuan Fire was easy to obtain, this place wouldn’t be so mysterious.
“Liu Bro, why don’t you rest at my place? I still have so extra tents there, and I brought so good food this ti, how about we eat and talk?” Seeing Liu Hun standing at the edge of the venue, with hesitation in his expression, Wu Dao quickly offered a grin and suggested to Liu Hun.
Wu Dao hadn’t told Liu Hun everything that happened at the Gate of Death, so only he knew exactly what happened there.
But what he didn’t expect was that Liu Hun also passed the test of the Gate of Death; such a person was certainly no ordinary character, so if there was a chance to ally, he would seize it.
Though on the surface, Wu Dao seems harmless, and he’s always talking nonsense, a family as big as his wouldn’t send him to seize Chi You’s weapon if he were a re ordinary character.
“Alright then.” Liu Hun hesitated for a mont, nodded, and then walked towards the tents at the outskirts alongside Wu Dao.
Wu Dao’s subordinates lit a fire, took out so dried at they had brought, and started roasting it. As they did so, Wu Dao explained to Liu Hun, “Brother Liu, this is a rare delicacy. eting this ti is your fortune, otherwise, you might never get to taste at like this in your life.”
“Oh? Are you saying this at can only be found with you?” Liu Hun and Old Bai sat down, and with a slight smile, he retorted to Wu Dao.
“Of course. Otherwise, I wouldn’t invite you over to try it; this at is from the red dragon elk. I once went out to train, nearly paid the price with my life to kill it and obtain it.” Wu Dao finished speaking, with a bit of smugness in his expression.
“Red dragon elk? I didn’t expect such a creature to actually exist in this world.” Hearing Wu Dao’s words, Liu Hun’s eyes flashed with surprise.
The red dragon elk lives in the icy snowy mountains all year round, its whole body as white as snow. Coupled with the icy environnt around it, it’s hard to find. Moreover, the most important thing is that the entire red dragon elk is a treasure; its bones and tendons are top-quality dicinal materials.
If a man eats the at of the red dragon elk, it can strengthen the body, and even make one fearless against severe cold. If a woman eats it, it nourishes yin and reinforces kidneys; invigorates blood circulation.
In ancient tis, so emperors and generals wanted to augnt their bodies, so they often sent people to hunt red dragon elks. By now, such creatures are rarely seen. Liu Hun didn’t expect Wu Dao to have such luck.
“That’s why I called you over to taste it, and the at is indeed very delicious.” Wu Dao continued to answer Liu Hun.
Soon, the at of the red dragon elk was roasted. Wu Dao devoured it in big mouthfuls, while asking Liu Hun, “So, Brother Liu, what shall we do next?”
“Tomorrow, we’ll follow everyone inside. Since everyone’s main goal is Chi You’s weapon, it seems the Nine Nether Cold Ice and Xuan Fire won’t catch too much interest.” Liu Hun stopped what he was doing and spoke in a deep voice.
Although that’s what he said, people are greedy and selfish. Although everyone’s ultimate goal is Chi You’s weapon, if they can conveniently obtain Xuan Fire and Nine Nether Cold Ice, no one would refuse.
“Brother Liu, don’t worry. I promised to help you seize Xuan Fire and Nine Nether Cold Ice, and I will definitely keep my word!” Wu Dao slapped his chest, promising confidently.
While the two spoke, a middle-aged man, accompanied by two elders, slowly approached Liu Hun.
As this group approached, others in the scene turned their gaze towards Liu Hun and the others.
Since entering this place, this group was rarely seen in action, and their identities were extrely mysterious. But everyone who ca here naturally had so cultivation, so it was clear this group was not easy to deal with. Thus, throughout their journey, no one disturbed them, and they didn’t even know where they ca from.
Yet, there was still one person present who knew this group’s identity!
“Liu Hun, I have sothing I’d like to discuss with you privately.” The middle-aged man at the front calmly looked at Liu Hun and said softly.
Looking up at the Clan Leader before him, Liu Hun frowned slightly. Sensing the eyes of others on them, he hesitated briefly, then nodded and said to the Clan Leader, “Alright, let’s talk over there.”
“Brother Liu, if you need any assistance, just call out. Previously, you took care of ; now it’s my turn to take care of you.” Before Liu Hun got up, Wu Dao didn’t forget to remind Liu Hun.
Facing Wu Dao’s goodwill, Liu Hun simply rolled his eyes, but said nothing more. However, all this fell into the eyes of the Clan Leader and others, revealing a tinge of shock.
Earlier, they thought Liu Hun was with Wu Dao just because of the lot-drawing incident, but now it seems their guess might be off.
Liu Hun led the Clan Leader and others to a nearby grove, where he then asked the Clan Leader in a flat tone, “Clan Leader, what do you want to say? After all, I’m just a nobody, and I dare not take too much of your ti.”
His words were obviously sarcastic, but the Clan Leader paid no heed, gazing deeply at Liu Hun before slowly speaking, “You and the Wu Family boy seem quite close.”
“I wouldn’t call it close; it’s just mutual use,” Liu Hun replied calmly. Though he didn’t want to deal with them, out of respect for the gray-robed elder, Liu Hun couldn’t refuse.
“Xiaotian, this ti we’ve co out not only to reveal ourselves but more importantly to seize Xuan Fire and Chi You’s weapon. You should understand the importance of Xuan Fire to our Ghost Doctor Clan, and secondly, Chi You’s weapon is extrely evil. If it falls into the wrong hands, it could be very disadvantageous for our Ghost Doctor Clan in the future, as Chi You’s weapon inherently restrains our clan.” At this mont, with a serious tone, the Clan Leader slowly spoke to Liu Hun.
“That has nothing to do with ,” Liu Hun retorted with a hint of mockery after listening.
“Because you are also one of the Ghost Doctor Clan, whether you admit it or not, you bear part of the responsibility. Moreover, even if your master were still alive, he wouldn’t want to see Chi You’s weapon fall into other hands.” The Clan Leader seed to have anticipated Liu Hun’s attitude, calmly continued to speak.
Upon hearing this, Liu Hun squinted his eyes slightly, surveyed the three before him, and after a while, chuckled lightly, “The dignified Clan Leader of the Ghost Doctor Clan actually seeks help from a nobody like ? If word of this gets out, it could make people laugh until their teeth fall out, right? And don’t try to pressure with the old man, it won’t work!”
