“Come back here!”
Yang Tianqi’s shout was useless. Liu Wen and the middle-aged man, one big and one small, disappeared into the narrow path.
He didn’t understand what Liu Wen was doing. Was his brain muddled? Why would he leave with someone who had nothing to do with him?
Yang Tianqi slowly recovered from his shock. He hurriedly turned around and ran toward the City Lord’s Mansion.
“Brat, you’re quite brave. You’re much tougher than that brother of yours.”
The man looked at Yang Tianqi with a wicked smile. The two of them had come to a very dark and dilapidated house. The house was barely repaired and there was no air leakage on the left and right. However, it could be said that the house was bare and there was nothing useful.
Liu Wen looked at the man coldly and pulled out half of the silver sword.
“I’m warning you. Don’t try to be glib with me. I’m willing to work with you, but you have to follow the agreement just now. The two of us will split the things we get.”
“Well said, my brother has extraordinary strength and courage. With your strength, you will definitely be able to take out a lot of good things when you enter. Then I will have to follow you.”The man rubbed his hands nervously and took out the storage bag again. He took out a map from it.
He placed the map in front of Liu Wen and explained to him,””This map was drawn based on the descriptions of the people who came out from inside. It is generally accurate, but there are some uncertain factors in some places that are marked on it.”
Liu Wen took the map. There were a few strange patterns drawn on the map. At first, he couldn’t see them clearly. He didn’t understand what the labels on the map meant. However, after reading it carefully a few times and understanding the connections, he could see that this map was a very detailed topographic map.
It could be seen from the map that three mountains were drawn on the top half of the map, forming a barrier.
Above the barrier was a gray area. There were only a few cross marks on it, and it seemed that no one had been there before.
Below the barrier was divided into three different areas. In the middle of the three mountains was a dense forest. At least there were a few strange trees drawn on it. These should be the trees that grew inside.
In February, there were two areas under the forest. One on the left and one on the right was a desert, and there was a large lake.
This structure was very strange.
Most importantly, there were many names of materials marked above these areas. According to this, these areas should be rich in such materials. However, the labels on them were very simple. Each area only had two or three kinds of materials marked.
“These are the materials we need. This map is quite rough. After all, the time is very short, and the space inside hasn’t been completely explored, so you might encounter some other materials.”
The man took some of the things he had prepared and introduced them to Liu Wen.
Liu Wen pursed his lips and placed the map on the old table.
“Why is there only the name of the material on the map and nothing else? Don’t tell me that there’s no danger here at all, or that there’s not a single demon bcast.”Liu Wen raised his head and looked at the man.” Also, since the two of us are working together now, I don’t think I don’t even know who you are.””
The man was very satisfied with Liu Wen’s cautiousness and quick-wittedness. He took the initiative to introduce himself.
“Little brother, I’m more at ease with your appearance. You can also call me Huang Daxian, or you can just call me Big Brother Huang. I won’t call myself uncle anymore.”
Liu Wen scoffed at this and replied coldly,””I’m afraid you don’t have the qualifications to take me in as your little brother.”
Huang Daxian’s eyebrows slightly raised, but he didn’t care about this.
“As for what little brother said, it does exist. There are fixed demon beasts guarding every area. This is also the main reason for the damage.”
Huang Daxian spoke in a very sincere manner.
“To tell you the truth, only one out of ten people who went in at the beginning could come back, and those who came back were either seriously injured or poisoned. They died not long after, but after understanding the situation inside, the survival rate has increased to two out of ten people.”
“So you’re saying that you’re sending people in batches just for this 20% success rate?”
Huang Daxian hurriedly tried to clear his name.” Brother, this has nothing to do with me. I’ve already escaped from them. You can’t hold me accountable now.””
“What is your goal? What do you want me to do for you?”
Huang Daxian pointed at the desert area and said excitedly,”There is something I want here. The fruit of the sand vine has a very dense spiritual power, and it can be used to refine some special pills. You only need to come here and help me pick it. If you have enough sand vine fruits, it doesn’t matter even if you don’t need them..”
