Chapter 40: Temporary Departure
Chapter 40: Temporary Departure
"Damn, that guy was just a short time ahead of us in the secret realm, he really moved so fast, he must not be far away now, should we go after him?"
Blood Cloud, dressed in a blood red robe, asked the crowd with a fierce look, the strong smell of blood filled the air, obviously furious.
The faces of the others were also very ugly.
When they heard Blood Cloud's question, they all looked a little attentive.
"No, this forest is so big and the trees are full of branches, he could hide in a random tree, where are you going to find him? Besides, we still don't know if he has accomplices and what his exact strength is. But from the fact that he moved so fast, we can tell that he is no weaker than any of us. If he intends to set an ambush, it's not certain who will live and who will die if any of us meet him alone, so it's better not to risk it."
Surprisingly, the muscular man who had initially engaged Blood Cloud in conversation said sensible words that did not match his muscular body.
When the others heard him say that, it sounded like that to them, and although they were a bit reluctant, they also nodded their heads, acknowledging that what the muscular man said was indeed true.
"Indeed, let's forget it, this place is very big, it really is a bit difficult to find the people, in case we are ambushed, we will be at a great loss."
"That's right, with the effort it would take us to find the person, we might as well look for other pavilions."
"Blood Cloud, you didn't think as thoroughly as Niu San, you almost got us into trouble."
"Hey, I didn't expect you to be so smart, Niu San, you thought of all that. Thanks to you, otherwise we would have wasted our time for nothing."
The muscular man smiled and rolled his eyes, he wasn't doing it for the sake of these people.
He was thinking to himself, there was a powerhouse in the Dou Spirit realm among them, if they scattered rashly, they would be easily killed by him one by one.
He knew that, in the Black-Corner Region, this kind of killing was a regular occurrence.
He himself had done this sort of thing very often.
He could not guarantee that the man in green would not do it.
So it was best if everyone stuck together first.
Otherwise, he would have been happy for these guys to go away and die a clean death.
Of course, he didn't really want to go looking for the man either, and as he said, if it took that much effort, he might as well go find another pavilion.
When Blood Cloud heard this analysis from Niu San, he also felt that he was right, but it was refuted in public, which made him look a little bad.
After a slight snort, he stopped talking.
The man in green felt a little disappointed to see that these people were not driven by anger.
Just as the muscular man thought, to him, the wealth that these High Star Dou Grandmasters possessed was also a considerable amount.
He himself had spent all his savings to go through the Dou Spirit a few days ago.
When he was worried that he had no money, the secret realm was opened.
If he couldn't obtain the treasures of the secret realm, grabbing these people's treasures wasn't bad.
The wealth of these Dou Grandmasters wouldn't be much less than his own a few days ago.
So he kept silent as they talked about chasing after the mysterious man in front of them. Unfortunately, there were still intelligent people among these people who were not overwhelmed by anger and greed.
Seeing that they were not talking about pursuit, the man in green could only put aside the petty calculations in his mind and said indifferently.
"Since none of you intend to pursue them, there is no need to search this place since it has already been searched, let's go up to the third floor."
After saying this, he took the lead and headed for the stairs leading to the third floor.
The others, after looking at each other at the same time, followed suit, so as not to be left behind.
Soon, the second floor was empty, with only the sound of some conversations occasionally coming down from the upper floor.
A minute later, Xiao Ming reappeared in the same place.
He heard rustling coming from the floor above and frowned as he said.
'The Black-Corner Region is worthy of being a place where countless strong people from various empires have gathered to escape, and all sorts of talents have emerged.
There really is someone who can rely on blood qi to determine the location of people, if I hadn't purposely suppressed the aura of my entire body just now, I'm afraid I would have been discovered by him.'
With the attitude of those people right now, if he was discovered, Xiao Ming felt that he might have to pay some price to leave.
The rest of those people were fine, but that Dou Spirit powerhouse was a bit difficult to deal with, the higher the realm, the bigger the gap between each level, that Dou Spirit was almost a whole big realm higher than him. In addition to several other Dou Grandmasters who were several stars higher than him.
Even if he could fight through the levels, it would be quite difficult to deal with these people.
Although, he could still leave if he wanted to, only the price might be a bit high.
Xiao Ming did not want to pay any price. Luckily, the man had not encountered him again after climbing the stairs.
It might be because that person's QI Method wasn't good enough, so if the others hid a bit, it would be hard for him to detect the others' breath again.
'Now they are in the light and I am in the dark, should I hide and spy on them?'
Xiao Ming pondered as he listened to the sounds of rummaging through the boxes above.
For these people who had tried to chase him a moment ago, he would not speak of any morality.
Naturally, he would not be ashamed to harvest treasures through a sneak attack.
There were things stored on the first and second floor, and there were even Flying Dou Techniques hoarded on the second floor, so there should more or less be something on the third floor as well.
Xiao Ming really was a bit reluctant to give up, just like that.
After all, he was the one who got here first.
However, now that they had found out that the floor above hadn't been searched, they should be able to think that he was nearby, so it would be a bit risky for him to do so.
As soon as Xiao Ming thought about whether to spy on them or not, the sound of footsteps and conversation came from downstairs again.
Xiao Ming raised his eyebrows and suddenly jumped out of the window, hanging onto the eaves of the house.
Right after he did so, several people with a stronger aura than him rushed up to the second floor, and after seeing the doors of the various rooms on the second floor wide open, they cursed loudly and rushed up to the third floor without hesitation.
Clang, clang, clang!
As expected, the sound of exchanging blows and violent energy fluctuations came from the upper floor.
'Is this a fight?' Xiao Ming reappeared in the same position he had just been in; he didn't expect the third group to come so quickly.
They were also fighting against the second group.
'After a while, there will surely be more and more people, it's obviously not wise to waste time here, it's better to leave first, they can fight over the things on the third floor if they want, while I will go to the other pavilions first.'
Thinking of this, Xiao Ming took advantage of the fact that the fourth group of people had not yet arrived and quietly slipped into the second floor.
Before leaving the pavilion and entering the dense forest, Xiao Ming even took a deliberate glance back.
He looked at the battle fluctuations that were getting stronger and stronger and had the potential to tear the pavilion apart.
Xiao Ming smiled.
'Fight, the stronger the fight, the better.'
'It's best to lure everyone in that spatial passage to this place so that I have more time to look for other places.'
With these thoughts, Xiao Ming walked into the forest in a good mood and disappeared.
