Chapter 2082: Looking back
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
It was different from other flat lands. Once one entered the Great Bridge City area, there were endless mountains . Even Great Bridge City was built at the foot of the mountain, similar to any mountain city.
Sima You Yue and the others came to a summit within the deep mountains.
Sima You Yue looked at the long mountain range far away and asked, “Is that the ore vein you talked about?”
“That’s right.” Old Man Li was still trembling when he saw that mountain, “We’ll be in that area in a few more kilometres.”
Sima You Yue noticed his reaction and said, “Wait for us here, you don’t have to go.”
Old Man Li sighed a huge relief after hearing that. He nodded and said, “I’ll wait for you here then.”
Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu went down from the mountains as they approached the ore vein slowly. They stopped a few metres away from the area of the ore vein.
“There are strong troops keeping watch.” Wu Lingyu sensed many auras from the foot of the mountain.
Sima You Yue was at a safe distance from the ore vein when she sensed that there were a few soldiers. They would need a bit of time if they just went ahead with it. Also, the noise would attract Great Bridge City’s attention.
“It seems like we need to come up with a plan.” She rubbed her chin as she quickly thought of an idea to deal with the situation.
At the foot of the ore vein, the soldiers were in groups of three or five while keeping watch on the district.
“How long do we need to keep watch here? We’ve kept watch the whole day and haven’t been able to step away or cultivate. We’re wasting our lives here!” A soldier whined.
“That’s right! There’s nothing here, we can’t even go for a drink.”
“Both of you should stop whining. You’ll be dead if the higher ups heard what you said.” Another soldier stopped them.
“Stop pretending. I don’t believe that you don’t miss that close friend of yours.”
The first soldier who spoke laughed teasingly.
“I won’t say it even if I do miss him. The patrols will be here anytime soon, I won’t be able to save your lives if they hear you.” The one who got teased said.
“Do you think there’s really an ore vein inside this abnormal place?”
“I haven’t seen any ore vein, but I’ve seen many corpses.”
“Every single one who has gone in has died, and I haven’t seen a single person bring out an ore? I count myself unlucky to have to keep watch at this kind of place.”
“Alright, stop whining.”
“Did you hear that?”
“What’s there?”
“I think I heard something.”
“Stop joking. Even underworld beasts don’t come to such a weird place, what could there be.”
“I really heard something, it seemed to have come from the forest in front.”
“Really?”
“Of course!”
“Then go over and take a look!”
“I don’t want to! Go by yourself if you want to!”
“The patrols are coming. The three of us wouldn’t be able to make a difference if something happened here. Let’s just take a look.”
The one who got teased earlier carefully walked over. Very quickly, his shadows were covered by the dense bushes.
“Oh….”
A low groan was heard from the trees.
