Chapter 7, Liucheng
Li He smiled faintly and took a step forward to follow. Just then, he also felt a bit hungry, and he had some gold coins on him. He could go in and enjoy a meal!
Thinking of this, Li He felt that he could go and visit Wu Ze's home. With the golden little beast, he now had the means to protect himself. According to the information he had received, Wu Ze's father, Wu Yun, was officially a ninth-tier warrior.
What is the origin of this little beast? Li He felt a stir in his heart, although the white jade dragon turtle was unwilling to speak, it must be quite extraordinary. However, he could not understand why it was following him! The strength of a ninth-tier warrior is considered quite strong in Liu City
"Hmm, it smells really good!" Even before entering the restaurant, a wave of enticing aromas wafted through the air, truly living up to its reputation. Li He had never tasted any delicacies; firstly, he lacked the funds to indulge, and secondly, he had to secretly allocate some money to sustain the activities of the Eagle Group. As for the circulation of money, in order to avoid detection, it naturally occurred through gambling. In fact, much of his funding was not lost to outsiders, but rather to members of the Eagle Group.
Wu Ze, upon looking at this moment, noticed that there were only more than thirty shadow fire crows left in the air, as a portion had just been separated due to Li He. This provided them with an opportunity! After taking one last glance in Li He's direction, dozens of shadow fire crows continuously spewed flames, enveloping Li He completely in fire
"By the way, does Old Ghost have anything that can help you regain your strength?" Li He inquired, as the White Jade Dragon Turtle is indeed a powerful ally! It plays a crucial role in his plan.
What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Zhuo Xi flicked her chestnut-colored long hair, the first to turn back, her posture as agile as that of a mother leopard: "If we wait another moment, that little guy will be one step closer to death. Once a decision is made, don't be indecisive and hesitant, like a woman.
This fool
Ah!
Li He
Wow, you are impressive! My name is Wu Ze!" Wu Ze said boldly. "Who are you, brother?"
Li He was in great distress, and the golden little beast could not be awakened no matter how loudly it was called.
The flames spewed by the shadowy fire crow left Li He unable to evade. He had originally thought that the golden little beast could be awakened, but to his surprise, it showed no reaction at all
With a sigh, Wu Ze was also a decisive person. The group of seven immediately broke through, and with only about thirty of them, there was no way they could pose much of an obstacle. They ran wildly all the way and finally escaped from the Shadow Fire Duck
What surprised Li He was that the fur of the golden little beast appeared to be standing upright, yet in reality, it was incredibly soft
With a whoosh, as Li He moved, the Netherfire Duck clearly noticed him and swooped down, shooting flames at Li He
With a hot figure and a calm yet ruthless demeanor at critical moments, Zhuo Xi also wore a face full of confusion, wiping the fragrant sweat from her neck, her alluring beauty shimmering enticingly.
This little creature actually possesses the strength of a ninth-tier warrior! Li He was astonished; no matter how he looked at it, he could not fathom that this simple and adorable golden little beast could have the combat power of a ninth-tier warrior
As he reached the entrance of the tavern, the golden little beast swiftly flew back to Li He's shoulder.
Thus, they did not dare to relax their minds for a moment, always considering that at any moment the shadowy fire duck might pursue them, leading to yet another arduous battle.
Li He felt his heart race, enveloped by flames. At first, he was filled with despair, cursing the white jade dragon turtle for not helping. However, later he discovered that his body was actually unharmed, only the temperature was a bit high
At this moment, Li He had just extracted the last core of the shadow fire crow, and he hesitated whether to reveal his identity. After careful consideration, he thought that Wu Ze was a straightforward person, and it did not matter much. After all, they would have further interactions in the future
He was unaware of how formidable his body was; such a level of attack could not inflict any harm on him at all. The White Jade Dragon Turtle also recognized this, which is why it did not intervene to assist.
The actions of the golden little beast truly left Li He in a state of bitter amusement. Watching the golden little beast joyfully swim in the bowl of soup, it occasionally took a few sips.
"Eeya, eeya!" A voice startled Li He awake, and it turned out to be the golden little beast. Unbeknownst to him, the golden little beast had emerged from Li He's hair and was now standing on his shoulder, chirping loudly. It looked quite simple-minded, with two dark black eyes that moved around energetically. It curiously surveyed the surrounding environment, appearing quite adorable.
Upon entering the restaurant, I found a discreet and relatively remote spot to sit down. I called over a waiter to bring some food and drinks, gradually setting up a table. The aroma was intoxicating, making one’s appetite stir! However, before Li He could take action, a flash of golden light suddenly fell onto the dining table. It was the golden little beast, which surprisingly shrank its body and landed in a soup bowl, beginning to devour its contents.
"Uh, how did you come back?" Li He turned around and discovered that Wu Ze and the others, who had just left, had actually returned. It was not difficult to guess their intentions.
With only some minor injuries, he was crouching on the ground, digging at the core of the Shadowfire Crow.
Li He pondered for a moment and did not refuse. The last line of eight people returned to Liu City. He naturally discerned Wu Ze's identity; controlling information equated to mastering everything. By the time he decided to come to the ancestral home, he had already secretly investigated all the information about the old residence and had also dispatched members of the Eagle Group to this location. He knew that this Wu Ze was indeed the son of Wu Yun, the steward sent by the Wu family to Liu City.
Li He became increasingly exhilarated as he slaughtered the shadow fire ducks, which were a headache for even the ninth-tier martial apprentices. For Li He, it was as effortless as killing chicks
Wu Ze and others followed closely behind. Upon hearing her cry, the six individuals' expressions changed simultaneously, and they immediately rushed over without regard for their lives
Provoked by Zhuo Xi, those originally timid and hesitant companions hurriedly spread their stances and fought back.
Haha! Li He was completely amused, laughing heartily. He had lost track of how long it had been since he had laughed so freely and easily as he did now
Wu Ze cursed under his breath: "At critical moments, it is still Zhuo Xi who can keep this group of brats in check"
"Yiya, Yiya!" The golden little beast stood in front of the tavern, calling out to Li He, signaling him to come over
He immediately drew the silver-white sword embedded in the ground and shot away.
Stop! As they were about to charge out of the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, Wu Ze finally sensed something was amiss. He signaled to everyone to turn back into a defensive formation and then focused his attention on the horizon behind them.
This ... ...
However, after waiting left and right, they still did not see the shadowy fire crow approaching. The group of seven gradually became engulfed in suspicion.
"Damn it, you little beast!" Bai Yulonggui shouted, but ultimately had no choice but to enter another bowl of soup.
At this remark, several people fell into a moment of silence
A line of seven people stood in astonishment, their faces filled with disbelief, their exaggerated mouths agape, and their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets...
The golden little beast was clearly displeased with the intrusion of the white jade dragon turtle into its territory, and without any courtesy, it delivered a flying kick that sent the white jade dragon turtle flying out
However, they did not dare to relax in the slightest. Li He was clearly sent to feed the crows. Once a person dies, those shadowy fire crows will soon come chasing after.
Am I seeing things? Little Fatty Kangle rubbed his eyes and looked at Li He as if he were a monster
Wow, it smells so good. The white jade dragon turtle suddenly pounced down from above Li He's head, and surprisingly, it fell into the soup bowl just like the golden little beast!
Do not tear that kid apart, the Shadowfire Crow will definitely not catch up. The fact that they have not caught up until now only indicates..." Wu Ze observed keenly, weighing the situation in silence for a moment, and suddenly gritted his teeth, saying: "Let’s kill our way back and take a look!"
I previously heard the piercing cry of the Shadowfire Crow, and there is no doubt that a battle has occurred... Wu Ze, with his rough and wild appearance, actually possesses a very delicate mind. He steadied himself with his large blade, adjusting his breathing and not missing any opportunity to recover his energy. He said in a deep voice: "The Shadowfire Crow has not pursued for a long time, and there is only one possibility: that kid has become a significant problem for them"
I am doomed, this time I am finished
I swear! Li He cursed, and was struck hard by a blow of flames. His entire body was instantly enveloped in fire
A few people chatted and laughed along the way, celebrating the aftermath of the disaster. They acquired some horses midway and soon arrived at Liu City. In Liu City, Wu Ze repeatedly requested Li He to visit his home, but Li He felt that it was not the right time. He claimed to have matters to attend to and left alone. Wu Ze did not insist, but asked for Li He's address, stating that he would come to find him. In the end, Wu Ze and his six companions departed.
"Zhuo Xi, what is your opinion?" Wu Zeang asked with his head held high.
"Yiya!" The golden little beast joyfully called out and transformed into a beam of golden light, rushing into a tavern. Li He looked up and saw that the tavern was actually Youranju. It is a top-notch tavern in Liucheng, renowned for its delicious food, with a reputation for its fragrance wafting for ten miles.
"What the hell, what is this person rushing over for?" Wu Ze and the others had clearly noticed the commotion on Li He's side early on.
"Brother Li! Come, now that you are here, let’s go to my house and have some fun!" Wu Ze said with a smile, while also introducing the other six individuals to Li He one by one. He did not associate Li He with the third young master of the Wu family, Li He, which was precisely the reason why Li He revealed his true name to him. This was because Wu Ze was indifferent to such matters. He was completely unaware of these things, only knowing about cultivating and hunting primordial beasts in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, and nothing else.
Li He was darting around the street, searching for a special mark, which was the contact symbol of the Eagle Group. However, after searching for a long time without success, he couldn't help but smile wryly to himself. At that time, in order to maintain secrecy, he had chosen to make random contacts without a fixed location. He could only search one by one, and it was precisely because of this that he managed to evade all the eyes and ears of that person. If there had been a fixed location, he would have long since lost the opportunity.
Zhuo Xi suddenly screamed
Then, they began to screech along with Zhuo Xi
Boss, a great opportunity, let's hurry and run
Shrugging her shoulders, the voluptuous Zhuo Xi displayed a look of keen interest, "I don't really care anymore. Let's just go take a look. Those beasts haven't chased us down yet, and I'm genuinely curious. Did that kid actually die? If he hasn't, we really ought to thank him properly."
"How is this possible?" exclaimed Kang Le, who had a slightly plump figure
