Chapter 366 (2/2)
It suddenly reminded him of something. He had heard from the skinny masked man saying that many black market merchants would always try to smuggle something into the forest whenever they were out of the forest collecting the human bodies from outside.
‘Maybe I can find a way to get out of this forest from this old man.’ Chu Yunsheng thought for a second.
In fact, Chu Yunsheng had already thought of several ways to escape from the forest. However, there were only two options that were safe.
The first one was to join the units called Food Search Units. There were several of them in the forest, and each one of them was also very big. They often needed to go out of the forest to conduct large food search missions.
Joining the food search units had many advantages over the security patrol units. The most apparent one was that they would always be able to hide some stuff for themselves.
The second one was to join those black market merchants to sneak out of the forest.
But in terms of which way was the best for him, he needed to find out more information about each one of those methods first. At the moment, he needed to have a quiet place, so he could secretly gather that information.
The station of the 9th unit had a room for him, however, it wouldn’t be convenient for him anymore if he wanted to do things secretly.
In the sound of some women sobbing quietly, Old Sun blew his whistle to signal the unit that they needed to go now.
Chu Yunsheng’s wound was recovering rapidly. His body, which was at the peak of Yuan Tian stage two, had revealed its incredible self-healing ability.
He requested one-day injury leave from Old Sun, and refused Old Three’s invitation to go to some treehouse called “The Paradise”, and followed the old man all the way to a thatched house.
The old man was surprised when he noticed that Chu Yunsheng was following him, and the girl next to him obviously panicked.
“Can you read?” Chu Yunsheng used a tree branch to write on the ground.
The old man nodded his head.
“I need a house.” Chu Yunsheng wrote. He put down the compensation he got from the golden armored woman. It was a box of high quality dried fruits that only the higher-ups of the forest were able to get, and a small bag of sugar that was processed from the plants in the forest.
The old man’s eyes instantly glinted. The fruits he had couldn’t compare with those dried fruits that only the higher-ups of the forest were able to eat. There was even a bag of processed sugar. Although he didn’t know how the young man got those things, he immediately responded, “Young man, you don’t need to buy a thatched house. If you need one, I’ll get some people to build it for you. You just need to pay them a day of food.”
Chu Yunsheng nodded his head and split out some of the sugars he had and gave them to the old man, “This su… is for you. Help me to exchange the rest. Also, tell me something more about this place.” He wrote.
Chu Yunsheng didn’t plan to hide his intention from this old man. Because the old man knew about it already. However, When he tried to write the word “sugar”, he suddenly forgot how to spell it. So he just skipped it.
But he didn’t expect that the old man pushed the sugar back and smiled, “I can’t take it. If you could, help us a little in the future.”
“That is a different thing.” Chu Yunsheng wrote. Since the day he left Hong Kong, he had already decided to stop getting to know strangers, although talking to the old man was unavoidable.
If he was destined to be alone, then he would face his fate without frowning!
The old man seemed to also feel that Chu Yunsheng was trying to avoid them. Seeing Chu Yunsheng casually made a s...o...b..ll and swallowed it, he carried on,
“… It is said that The ruler of the eastern force and the ruler of the western force used to be a couple. The stuff they found under the ground was split into two, each one of them was holding one. When the forest was attacked by the insect’s army, both rulers were fighting alongside each other. However, after the swarm retreated, no one knows why they began to fight each other, and both sides wanted to control each other.
It is said that the ruler of our western force hasn’t shown up in any meetings for a very long time. Everyone is talking about this, all kinds of rumors are going around at the moment.
However, Three Senior Superiors are only busy fighting each other for more power and more control. The forest is no longer the forest we had before.
The Eastern force is even worse, in order to expand their territory and increase their force, they began to kill people and create those Zhiwu People. If I didn’t meet you, I would’ve probably also become one of those Zhiwu people.
Human beings are evil and greedy creatures, people are often willing to share difficulties, troubles and many other negative things together, but no one wants to share good things. Especially when it comes to power. How many people have already died because of power struggle?…”
The information the old man provided was very simple. But it was more than enough for Chu Yunsheng. He was not interested in the power struggle of the forest, nor was he interested in their top secrets.
…
Midnight.
Chu Yunsheng gathered all his focus together and began to cultivate Yuan Qi energy once again.
But this time, it was not just cultivating energy that simple. He also began to join the fight that happened inside his body.
Since the shackles to his mind were removed, his thoughts were also freed from the inside.
He no longer wanted to endure three forces fighting inside his body. This time he wanted to fight back.
