However, the short dark warrior did not have a chance to come out. Because Zhu Lingdie stopped him.
Zhu Lingdie was not an idiot. Shen Shaoze’s man was defeated within a few seconds, it meant that this strange man was definitely in Rank-3 Yi-class or above. Unlike Shen Shaoze, she did not have two Rank-3 dark warriors. If she lost one, even if it was just an injury, it would have a huge impact on her gang’s strength in the Northern District.
At the moment, she was waiting. She had already asked someone to get help from the wind and the fire masters. Only they would be able to stop this guy and protect her reputation and the grains.
The challenge was ended within a few seconds. Chu Yunsheng had already completed the transformation of Rong Yuan Body’s first substage. His ability to control Yuan Qi has already improved a lot. So that tall dark warrior only suffered the fire elemental energy’s shock damage, and slight burn, but nothing serious.
Based on people’s strength to split the grains was the rule that was agreed by everyone. But if someone died during this duel, it would only cause more trouble to Chu Yunsheng than what he originally wanted. He just wanted food, not troubles. Although he did test an alexipharmic talisman, he still could not eat those monsters’ meat.
The only person that was not happy was Shen Shaoze. His man was defeated, but Zhu Lingdie got cold feet and wanted to pull out?
Although she hinted to him that she was waiting for the wind and the fire masters, so they could put pressure on the witch’s team. However, what he needed right now was to know this man’s real strength.
Although he was impressed by this man’s power, he believed that he could still get him under control. After all, he had three Rank-3 dark warriors and a bunch of Rank-2 Jia-class dark warriors.
But when the 13th master showed up with the fire and the wind masters, everything changed. It changed so quickly that Shen Shaoze and Zhu Lingdie were still perplexed.
The 13th master did not talk to Zhu Lingdie often since he joined her group, but when he arrived at the scene, the first sentence he said was, “Miss Zhu, I can’t help you with this. But it would be better for you to accept his request, you might benefit from it.”
“Huh?” Zhu Lingdie was dazed for a second. Before she had a chance to ask him why, the 13th master already left her and walked towards that young man.
The wind and the fire masters didn’t even greet her, they just ran straight towards the young man with great excitement.
“Holy—shit!!! Brother Chu? It really is you!? You did not die! I know you would not die! You cleaned yourself, I almost could not recognize you!”
Chu Yunsheng did not expect that the wind and the fire masters that that Zhu woman was waiting for were Ding Yan and Yao Xiang. There was also another person, who he seemed to be familiar with, but he could not remember exactly where they had met before.
“You? You two are that wind and fire masters?” said Chu Yunsheng. He was surprised and pointed at Ding Yan and Yao Xiang.
Yao Xiang instantly blushed. He was embarrassed, “that’s just how they call us…”
Din Yan nodded his head behind Yao Xiang. He laughed, “that’s them, I don’t have that kind of skill.”
“Nothing better than seeing you two are still alive,” When Chu Yunsheng got out of the fog city, he encountered the swarm, and the world that filled with human bodies. Originally he thought that Ding Yan and Yao Xiang were definitely dead, they must have been inside of those piles and piles of bodies.
Having met each other alive once again, Chu Yunsheng had so many feelings.
“Brother Chu, tell me, how did you escape it? You are awesome. Even the flaming bird couldn’t kill you!” Yao Xiang was so excited. He wanted to know everything that happened to Chu Yunsheng.
But Chu Yunsheng did not think that those things were worth mentioning. Especially the thing about he had to play dead to get away from the flaming bird’s attack, and the world of dead bodies he saw. He was still trying to forget them as much as he could.
“Let’s talk about that later, there are still insects outside!” Ding Yan interrupted. He then took out a cigarette and passed it to Chu Yunsheng. At the same time, he pointed at the other person who Chu Yunsheng still couldn’t remember who he was, “Lu Yu, you met before.” Ding Yan introduced.
“Met before?” Chu Yunsheng looked at this over 180cm tall muscular guy carefully again.
A distinct angular face like it was carved out by a knife. Long soft hair and a pair of eyes seemed to have a slight sadness. But he still couldn’t remember where they had met before.
Yao Xiang seemed to want to say something but then he suddenly stopped. It left Chu Yunsheng confused.
“Mr. Chu is a great man, it is normal that he can’t remember me. But I don’t know if you still remember a pathetic man, who lost his wife and mother in one night. Even after he was awakened, he still couldn’t save any one of them!” Lu Yu said lightly. But his story was filled with sadness.
“It’s you!?” Chu Yunsheng finally remembered who he was. No wonder his long hair was so familiar. He was the man he met at the café in the fog city.
“It’s me!” Lu Yu nodded his head then fell in silence.
“I remember that you awakened the ice elemental ability, how did you become the wind master?” All the memories started to come back to him. He vaguely remembered that when this man broke into the cafe, his body was covered with a violent ice elemental energy.
“You can ask Lu Yu to explain to you later. Brother Chu, I have a feeling that the insects that surround us are not just trying to trap us here that simple. We’d better move out as soon as possible!” Ding Yan said calmly.
Chu Yunsheng nodded his head. When he fought with the Rank-3 dark warrior earlier, he seemed to have felt that the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi inside the granary depot slightly fluctuate a little bit. He had this kind of feeling before. It was only when the ancient book glowed.
“Brother Chu, I have heard that you want five shares. I support you! At worst, we just fight them! “Yao Xiang laughed.
Ding Yan glared at him and said, “Brother Chu, I don’t know how long you have arrived at Jin Ling city, but the gangs inside the city are not as simple as they look, those fire king, ice king, and gun king, they all have someone behind them, I will tell you in detail when we get back to the city, but it is better not to offend them right now.”
Chu Yunsheng knitted his brows, he did not know he meant.
“You need to believe me, don’t do anything now, I will deal with it, there won’t be any problem with five shares.” Ding Yan smiled.
Chu Yunsheng nodded his head. Ding Yan could be considered as a man of his word. At least. Since the first day he knew Ding Yan, Ding Yan has never broken his promises.
Zhu Lingdie felt a little melancholy when she saw that the 13th master, the fire and the wind master were having a pleasant conversation together with that Rank-2 dark warrior. Even that “wind master” who was as cold as ice, also talked.
Since she grouped up with the 13th master, she had never seen the wind master open his mouth before.
But at this moment, no matter Zhu Lingdie or Shen Shaoze, they all knew that this Rank-2 dark warrior was someone the 13th master knew, and also they were very close. Just look at how excited that “fire master” was!
“Including us, we need five shares!” said Ding Yan when he returned to Zhu Lingdie. Just a simple reply, it told them what kind of ground he held.
Zhu Lingdie was both angry and upset, but she could not do anything, she had used all kinds of methods trying to recruit the wind and the fire master, she even tried to use a honeytrap to get them to join her gang, but she still did not succeed.
The power balance between three parties was instantly broken, Chu Yunsheng, the witch and the 13th master instantly became the most powerful group in this granary depot, Shen Shaoze became the second, and Zhu Lingdie fell into the third.
“13th master, we had an agreement, what you are asking is inappropriate,” Zhu Lingdie said coldly.
“That’s right, we had an agreement, I take two shares as we agreed. You saw his ability already, it is worth at least two shares, plus the witch’s one share, it’s five. We did not ask more, so it is within the agreement! ” Ding Yan said calmly.
“I agree, I am happy to take one share less, I’ll just take three!” Shen Shaoze smiled. Right now, considering the 13th master’s group had become more powerful, it was not wise to go against the 13th master’s request. If they couldn’t compete with them, why not do them a favour.
“You win, but I still want to know who he is, how can he make you – the 13th master supports him in such a way?” Zhu Lingdie knew that she couldn’t change the decision. What she did earlier was just trying to avoid the humiliation.
“A friend.” Ding Yan said casually.
‘Friend?’ Zhu Lingdie did not believe it at all. Then she suddenly had an idea, if there was no way to recruit the wind and the fire master, nor was there a way to recruit the 13th master, what about this guy?
The food was re-divided, Chu Yunsheng took 5 shares, Shen Shaoze took 3 and Zhu Lingdie took 1, the last one was split between the small teams.
Unfortunately, the witch did not have enough trucks, so Chu Yunsheng gave out some food to hire other people to help them to transfer the food.
Chu Yunsheng took the little tiger out from the truck’s front seat and sat with Ding Yan on top of a truck that was loaded with the grain.
Before the challenge, he had locked the tiger inside the truck. After all, the little tiger was an animal, it did not know the difference between a challenge and an attack. What if it wanted to protect Chu Yunsheng and jumped out. With its ability right now, it could be easily injured by a Rank-3 dark warrior.
“Brother Chu, since when did you have a pet tiger?” Yao Xiang wanted to pet it, but he was instantly roared back by the little tiger. Apart from Chu Yunsheng, it did not allow anyone to touch it.
“Found it on the road, it was a Foodie,” said Chu Yunsheng while petting the little tiger’s chin.
“Brother Chu, as we discussed, when the gate opens, all the Rank-3 dark warriors including you will be responsible for clearing the way, I suggest that you just use your gun. Unless it is necessary, don’t use your sword. I’ll tell you more in detail when we get back to Jin Ling city. I also got you some bullets.” Ding Yan passed him a few clips and said quietly.
Chu Yunsheng took the bullets. He had the same idea as Ding Yan.
Suddenly, he felt the Yuan Qi fluctuate violently inside the depot once again. A moment later, the sky above Lu Guolong’s basement began to shine a bright silver light, then the space around Chu Yunsheng seemed to be compressed together, and it started to make them feel difficult breathing.
Shortly after the silver light appeared, its surroundings began to form a water ripple-like vertical mirror. Its diameter was more than ten meters long.
The insects outside the wall also suddenly started to move frantically. The violent sound of insects’ legs trampling on the ground did not stop a single second. There were even green-shelled insects beginning to appear in the sky.
Everyone including Chu Yunsheng was stunned. ‘Is this the space-overlapping tunnel that the rumour has been talking about!?’
“Quick, leave now!” No one knew who shouted that sentence, but the gate was pushed open.
