Chapter 69: Flood Dragon
Bai Guhan ordered his subordinates to register those who were willing to help him in detail. A young man who looked like a weak scholar took out a pen and inkstone from a box on his back and ground the ink on the spot. He licked the pen with his mouth and dipped it lightly. He stood up and took out a booklet..
The scholar-like young man stood there with a book in one hand and wrote in the other. He asked everyone about their basic situation, including their names, sects, cultivation, etc. At the end, he even made a special note of where he would send the rewards in the future. According to Bai Guhan, there would be someone who would send the rewards in the future..
The young man writes so fast that he can easily keep up with the people questioned no matter how fast they speak.
When it was Gu Xifeng's turn, he made up a new alias and address for himself. However, it was not easy to disguise his cultivation realm. He said it was true. He registered the middle stage of the advanced realm, which was neither high nor low. It was suitable for Gu Xifeng to keep a low profile..
Soon, everyone was registered. Gu Xifeng calculated in his mind that among the experts who had joined Bai Guhan at this moment, there were six early-stage Advanced Realm experts, twelve middle-stage experts including Gu Xifeng, five late-stage experts, one junior ancestor, and none of the Grandmasters..
After all, among the masters who had truly cultivated to the Grandmaster Realm, which one wasn't an amazing talent? Which one wasn't famous in the Jianghu? Which one didn't have the arrogance of a master? Which one was poor? Although Bai Guhan's reward was high, he couldn't attract a Grandmaster expert to work for him..
"Everyone, since you have decided to help me, you must do your best. If you want to only take money and not contribute, hehe, you can try..
White cold smile, with a threatening tone said.
No one answered, and Bai Guhan did not mind. With a single command, the group entered the dense forest of Black Cloud Mountain. At this moment, Bai Guhan had more than thirty subordinates and experts recruited at the last minute..
Chu Ningjing saw Bai Guhan leading the group away. After waiting for a while, she ordered the group to enter the mountain as well. The two groups of experts who weren't expecting him also walked towards the forest one after another..
Gu Xifeng was inconspicuous among Bai Guhan's team. He suppressed his speed and remained at the end of the team..
There were still no traces of dragon beasts in the forest. Bai Guhan's white wolf was in front, and the wild beasts in the forest did not dare to do anything. The huge corpses in the forest had almost been eaten by the wild beasts. Everyone arrived at the foot of Sky Sword Peak without any trouble..
The first thing Bai Guhan did when he arrived was to order his men to jump into the lake to check. The expert who had joined at the last minute dared not enter the lake and was kicked down by Bai Guhan..
Soon the man returned to shore, with no results..
Bai Guhan looked up at Tianjian Peak, his eyes sharp..
"Everyone, now is the time to contribute to me. Six advanced realm experts, how about you help me climb to the top of the Sky Sword Peak and investigate?.
Bai Guhan turned his gaze to the six experts in the early stages of advancement and said gently..
The expert who had just been kicked into the water was shocked. Then, his face was filled with anger. He shouted loudly," Bai Guhan, you're not inviting an expert. You're using us as cannon fodder!" As he spoke, he was about to return to the forest..
"I quit, and I don't want the money..
He looked flustered, quickened his pace, and was about to enter the forest..
Bai Guhan smiled coldly and patted the huge white wolf beside him. The white wolf understood and dashed towards the expert who was about to leave. Soon, a headless corpse appeared beside the forest..
The white wolf that bit off the man's head threw off his head with a look of disdain. The corners of his mouth and chin were dyed red with blood, making him look especially ferocious..
"Do you have any comments from the remaining five?.
Bai Guhan smiled warmly at this time, as if the white wolf killing had nothing to do with him..
Seeing that person die tragically, the remaining five didn't dare to say anything. They shook their heads to express that they didn't have any objections. They swam across the lake and began to climb the mountain. They prayed for themselves continuously, and their limbs were trembling..
"Don't worry, if you help me die, I'll pay three times the compensation and I'll definitely pay it to your families!.
Bai Guhan shouted proudly..
When the five of them heard this, they seemed to be certain in their hearts, and their pace of upward movement quickened a little..
Soon, the five experts 'figures could no longer be seen clearly. Bai Guhan's originally calm face also showed a trace of nervousness..
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement on Tianjian Peak. There was no sound, and the five people did not return..
At this time, almost all the experts who came to find the dragon came to the foot of Tianjian Peak..
Bai Guhan's expression turned serious. He turned around and looked at the experts who had joined him at the last minute." It seems that these five people are doomed. Everyone who is in the middle stage of advancement, please help me make a trip.".
"Bai Guhan, Tianjian Peak is obviously extremely dangerous. Do you want to kill me with your stinking money? No way.".
" That's right, brothers. There are so many of us. Why should we be afraid of a dozen of them?"" Fight them, we won't be cannon fodder!" The experts in the middle stage of advancement naturally didn't want to die. A few of them shouted angrily. Gu West Wind only stared coldly at Bai Guhan without saying a word..
An old man in black behind Bai Guhan reached out a hand and pointed at the few people who spoke..
:.
A pitch-black figure dashed into the crowd at an extremely fast speed. Even Gu West Wind couldn't see it clearly..
Almost instantly, the few people who were touched by the old man fell to the ground and died. Their necks were covered in blood. From the looks of the wounds, it seemed that some kind of wild beast had bitten off the arteries on their necks..
Not only Gu Xifeng and the others, but most of the experts present did not see what had happened. Only the middle-aged man beside Chu Ningjing had a strange look in his eyes. He looked at the old man in black with interest and walked over to Chu Ningjing to whisper..
" Heh, Prince Bai, is this your confidence? The Black Wind Leopard was an Elder of the Imperial Beast Valley when he was a Duke Shen. He was at the grandmaster level. The Black Wind Leopard he controlled also had the might of a grandmaster. He alone was two grandmasters. No wonder Prince Bai was so confident..
Chu Ningjing chuckled and said,"Listen to his tone, it seems that he is not afraid of Shen Gongshi.".
The old man in black, Shen Shixing, did not deny it. He took a step forward and looked at Chu Ningjing. He said,"I have seen Your Highness the Prince of North Chu.".
"Senior, you are welcome. Junior Chu Ningjing greets senior.".
"The Lord is merciful," he said,"and the Lord is merciful.".
Shen Gongshi nodded gently at Chu Ningjing and retreated without saying anything else..
Bai Guhan did not care about Chu Ningjing's act of revealing his background. Instead, he continued to look at the middle-stage experts, including Gu Xifeng..
"Gentlemen, please.
He made a gesture of invitation to Tianjian Peak and said calmly..
Other than Gu Xifeng, the remaining eight knew that if they resisted, they would definitely die. They might as well go up the mountain and fight. Even if they died, they would still have a pension..
Gu Xifeng and the other nine climbed to the top of Sky Sword Peak. Gu Xifeng did not take out his dagger to stop the battle. He only held two ordinary daggers that he had prepared long ago and climbed up. He climbed slowly on purpose, pretending to be very laborious. However, he realized that the others were also climbing slowly on purpose, worried that they would be the first to climb the mountain..
Gu Xifeng glanced at the people who were acting and shook his head gently. He suddenly increased his speed. When everyone saw the guy who suddenly increased his speed, they were very disdainful and thought to themselves that they were in such a hurry to die..
Gu West Wind's figure soon disappeared from their sight. They continued to climb slowly, but no matter how slow they were, they would eventually reach the summit..
The eight of them reached the summit almost at the same time, but they did not see Gu West Wind. Everyone was puzzled..
There was a large platform on the summit of Sky Sword Peak. Clouds and mist were rising below. Even the summit was covered in thick fog, making it difficult to see the way ahead clearly..
The few of them searched forward anxiously. They didn't notice that not long after they walked forward, a figure quietly climbed to the top of the mountain. This person was Gu Xifeng..
It turned out that Gu Xifeng had first accelerated and lost them. When he was almost at the peak, he moved sideways and finally stopped. When everyone reached the peak, he followed them..
Gu Xifeng did not move forward casually like they did. Instead, he used Huang Xin's secret concealment technique and hid himself in the fog..
The remaining eight people were carefully probing in front, but they did not know that danger was approaching. A huge figure was silently moving around them..
One by one, two by three, the giant figure dragged them into the thick fog one by one. However, these experts in the middle stage of the Advancement realm were like ordinary people and did not make any resistance..
Only when there were only five people left in the team did they realize that they had formed a circle in tacit understanding. Everyone was holding weapons and facing the circle. Cold sweat flowed down their necks. The threat of death made everyone extremely nervous..
Time slowly passed, and nothing seemed to happen. Just as the five of them relaxed a little, a black body like a python appeared in front of everyone..
The snake's body was very thick, and the three men found it difficult to hug it. The snake's body coiled in circles, each circle getting taller and taller, and slowly getting tighter and tighter. They already understood what had happened. They raised their heads and looked up. Two huge scarlet eyes were staring coldly at them..
Following a few screams, the five of them were crushed into meat paste at the same time..
Gu Xifeng, who was not far away, saw all this, but he could only watch as these people were killed. He had already seen the true face of the huge body, which was not much different from the legendary true dragon. The only difference was that there was no real dragon horn on its head..
"The Hornless Dragon is a legendary flood dragon. It is only one step away from transforming into a true dragon. F * ck, there really is such a terrifying creature in the world..
Gu Xifeng thought to himself, the only thing he can do now is to escape before the flood dragon finds out..
Gu Xifeng immediately took action. He carefully retreated without removing his stealth technique. However, after killing the others, the flood dragon stared at Gu Xifeng thoughtfully with its scarlet eyes. A moment later, it suddenly rushed towards Gu Xifeng..
" We've been discovered!" Gu Xifeng realized that he had been exposed, so he turned around and sped to the edge of the cliff..
Fortunately, the distance was not too long, and he retreated some distance, now not far from the cliff edge.
In the end, when the flood dragon was still some distance away from him, he jumped off the cliff without hesitation. When the flood dragon saw Gu Xifeng jump off, it did not chase after him. Instead, it let out an angry cry and lifted up the huge rocks at the edge of the cliff. It kept throwing them down the cliff..
Under everyone's gaze, Gu Xifeng fell into the lake. While everyone was still staring at the lake looking for Gu Xifeng, countless boulders fell from the sky..
