Chapter 65: Going back
Chapter 65: Going back
Each person took one of the two special items.
Whereas four white pieces of equipment remained.
Xiao Yu contributed the most to this operation, and considering his strength, he would not be short on gray-grade items. Originally, Zhao Changping intended to give him four of the six white-grade items and keep the rest for himself. This suggestion, however, was instantly rejected by the latter.
Xiao Yu had already taken the potion recipe with the highest actual worth among all these goods, and that piece alone was enough to cover up the value of everything they had gained. He didnt want to take advantage of the other party too much. It would have been fine if he were an ordinary person, but Zhao Changping was anything but ordinary; with his extraordinary talent and great potential, he wasnt the least bit inferior to Han Kexin. In the future, he will grow into the famous Thunder War God, valuing righteousness and friendship while clearly distinguishing between kindness and grievance.
Ill have him owe me a favor for today. In this way, it will be much more convenient to ask for his help in the future or for a cooperation opportunity.
After some back and forth, Xiao Yu only took two pieces of white equipment, while the remaining two white equipment, the magic scroll, and all of the gray items belonged to Zhao Changping. The two pieces of equipment he got were a spear and leather pants.
Splitting Air Spear, a medium white-grade weapon, contains the power of air and can release the unranked magic Splitting Air Wave, which can be used once every ten seconds.
This weapon is not bad.
The spear was white-grade equipment, which could be regarded as a very advanced weapon at this stage. Although the unranked magic Splitting Sky Wave was a bit weak, at least it added a skill. If launched against a strong monster, even if it doesnt die, it will still lose a layer of skin and suffer some minor injuries. So at worst, the skill could cause some damage, and since the interval was relatively short, It could be used more frequently, harassing the opponents during battles.
forest leather pants, white middle-grade equipment engraved with unranked physical protection and first-rank magic defense.
Xiao Yu just lacked a pair of pants. So this piece of equipment came in a timely manner. The physical defense was relatively weak, but the resistance to magic was not badat least, it could significantly reduce the damage inflicted by first-rank magic attacks.
The Fountain of Life needs a certain opportunity to form another water spring. I dont know exactly when, but there will be no water in the short term.
Zhao Changping couldnt help but feel a twinge of pity and suddenly changed his tone and said to Xiao Yu: What are your plans for the future? Are you still wandering alone in the woods? Why dont you join us? A powerful guy like you must be well-liked by everyone.
Xiao Yu smiled slightly, I killed five prominent people in the camp; if I join you guys, arent you afraid of them making trouble?
Zhao Changping laughed, Retaliation? None of these guys are good birds. If it werent for the fact that they comprise the camps backbone and its stability must be ensured, it would already be kind of me not to slaughter them all. However, even if they all add up together, they cant match up to one of you; if anyone dares to speak up, chop them off.
Xiao Yu asked again: Dont forget that you cant beat me; arent you afraid that I will take over your place?
Hahaha, although I havent been with you for a long time, I can somewhat gauge your character. Although your killing methods are fierce, you have your own set of beliefs and bottom lines. There are so many treasures, and we are all injured, yet you are willing to peacefully share the spoils even though you are unscathed, which is enough to explain everything. Zhao Changping paused and continued: With your strength if you really want to be the emperor of a country, it is a very simple matter. If you are willing to join the camp, I will give up my position and let you lead everyone.
Xiao Yu was surprised, but he still shook his head lightly.
Zhao Changping was slightly taken aback and spoke in a puzzled way, What? Do you still want to keep going on your own?
No. Xiao Yu shook his head and said, Actually, I already have my own team.
Xiao Yu summarized the events that took place following the disaster, the fact that he was a college student from a specific city, and what happened after the drastic changes that led to him venturing out on his own. Only then did Zhao Changping understand.
This is the map you drew? It looks really good. Youve traveled hundreds of kilometers through the woods in less than a week. Amazing! Zhao Changping examined the map drawn by Xiao Yu with a look of surprise on his face, I also often dispatch my people to explore the forest, and we are incessantly creating a map of the surroundings. Our maps can just complement each other.
Xiao Yu was a little surprised and followed Zhao Changping out of the woods.
.
He disguised himself and followed the other party back to the camp. The latter quickly found the map he was talking about. After looking at the several drafted papers, Xiao Yu noticed that they differed from his own, yet somehow still provided complementary information. These people were originally trained scouts. The map they drew had the look and feel of a military map, and the artwork was very meticulous. Some terrains were also specifically marked, with detailed descriptions that were several times clearer than Chen Fengs narration.
Referring to Zhao Changpings map, the map in Xiao Yus hands became much more complete.
Zhao Changping pointed to the edge of the map and said: Rows of continuous mountains started to emerge from this point, and the creatures there grew exceedingly strong. Ive gone there numerous times and almost failed to come back at one point. Many of my comrades perished there, and thats where the drawing of the map ends.
Xiao Yu nodded, saying, Those mountains mark the forests edge. There must be an abundance of strong creatures lurking there. If you are not strong enough, it is best not to go there carelessly so as not to cause unnecessary casualties.
The forests edge? Zhao Changping was slightly taken aback and somewhat dubious.
Endless mountains surrounded this forest. The mountains were undulating, towering into the clouds, very steep, and challenging to climb. Many entrances and exits were scattered around these mountains; as long as it was the edge of the forest, regardless of whether it was east, west, north, or south, you could take any direction to leave toward the continent. However, the place was guarded by extraordinarily strong creatures, and as the first group of humans to venture out of the woods trying to open a route, they had to be careful. After all, a bloody battle was inevitable!
However, battles in this world were directly linked to peoples interests. The fiercer the struggle, the richer the rewards; the more dangerous the creatures, the more lucrative the spoils. This statement, however, only applied to individuals who brave through challenges in order to obtain prizes designed exclusively for those who defy death. On the other hand, people who were afraid of danger and choose to retreat could only fall behind others and be trampled underneath their feet. They lose their dignity and standing as they fall behind.
Xiao Yu soon completed updating the map; he put down his pen, unfolded the map to double-check for inaccuracies, and then remarked with great satisfaction: Finally, I have drawn a clear map of this path. Although it only represents less than one percent of the entire forest area, the path is clear enough. He paused and said to Zhao Changping: In this case, my mission has been accomplished, and I have to set off today, so I wont be staying here any longer.
Zhao Changping was slightly surprised, Leaving in such a hurry?
Xiao Yu nodded and said, Thats right, I promised my group that I would return within ten days; thats why Im leaving. He rolled up the map and stood up, but suddenly thinking of something, he stopped and added, By the way, there was someone in your camp called Chen Feng; I believe this person shows some promise, although he is still a bit immature at the moment. You may as well try to nurture him a little. Perhaps he will one day become one of your right-hand men.
Chen Feng? Zhao Changping thought about it for a moment. This name is rather unfamiliar; he should be an unknown figure in the camp. Well, if you insist on leaving, I wont stop you; thenuntil we meet again.
Xiao Yu cupped his hands slightly, till we meet again.
Zhao Changping escorted Xiao Yu out of the camp. The latter jumped into the woods and quickly disappeared from his sight.
At this time, a younger confidant came over and said, with some emotion in his tone, Company commander, this man is mighty. Fortunately, we have allied with him; otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous. Though Im not sure whether well get another opportunity to meet him in the future.
Zhao Changping gazed in the direction Xiao Yu was going, his eyes deepening as he remarked quietly, He is so terrifying at such a young age; based on his abilities, we will surely meet againI only hope that at that time, we will be friends rather than foes.
This unexpected encounter and cooperation with Xiao Yu profoundly impacted Zhao Changping, the future legendary Thunder War God.
Bloody Queen Han Kexin, Great Sand Emperor Wang Yunfei, Thunder War God Zhao Changping. These three people were all well-known figures in his previous life. Moreover, they were all pinnacle powerhouses sitting at the pyramids peak, as tens of thousands of people looked up to them.
Among them, Han Kexin, who used to be a pinnacle powerhouse, is now one of his subordinates, Wang Yunfei, who was once respected by thousands of people, have been killed by him, and Zhao Changping, who was once known as the God of Thunder and War accidentally became half of a friend of his. Xiao Yus rebirth has already had a significant impact on future generations.
Since the map was finished, Xiao Yu no longer needed to stop to observe or draw, and his running pace increased to the extreme. He only stopped to confirm the direction every now and then before continuing at breakneck speed, rushing toward the underground cave.
However, he was not idle on the way back. Occasionally, he would stop and kill some primitive leader-type monsters. These creatures almost always dropped various kinds of items. He had slain several said monsters along the road as he obtained over a dozen pieces of equipment.
On the other side of the forest, near the underground cave.
Wielding a massive mace in both hands, Wang Chao slammed a blood-red shock wave and blasted a peak elementary giant wolf nearby into shreds. Then, panting slightly, he took a few steps back, laid his butt on the ground, wiped his sweat, and cursed loudly: Fuck, that broken bear almost exhausted this fat master. Stone, the boss, should return soon, right? Ill fetch some fresh bear meat back; why dont we go back and roast it for him to eat?
Jin Shi was covered in wounds, his shield was damaged, and he clutched a massive Warhammer in his right hand, Youre right; roughly speaking, its about time for him to come back.
Wang Chao laughed, At that time, he will definitely be shocked upon seeing our strength!
Jin Shi also nodded in agreement, In less than ten days, the four of us all became warriors at the peak of the elementary level; Yunyun also has the strength of the late stage of the elementary level, while Zhao Dahai, Du Tao, Huang Jianmin and the others have all grown by much as well.
