Chapter 492 - A Joint Attack (1/2)

“An Almighty Being arrived?” Ou Yangming was shocked. “What does that mean?”

Pu Wen responded with a bitter face, “Sir, I’m not sure, but I heard the Almighty Being can resist the Aquatics’ spirit beast, which is why Canghai County is safe and sound.”

‘A powerhouse that can resist the Aquatics’ spirit beast? Why does that sound unreliable?’ Ou Yangming’s eyelids fluttered, and he was rather puzzled. He was feeling rather regretful. ‘If I knew this was going to happen, I should’ve brought Wu Hanning along.’

Ou Yangming pondered for a brief moment before he asked, “Did someone from the imperial family come?”

Pu Wen shook his head and answered, “I don’t know.”

Although Ou Yangming did not receive any useful answers, he was not furious at all. In fact, it would only be weird if a little chief of a village knew everything.

He glanced at the people and said, “Go and comfort your people so that they don’t panic anymore. We’ll be leaving after we take a quick rest.”

Pu Wen immediately kneeled and kowtowed. “Yes, sir.”

Following that, Ou Yangming turned and left the village with the two young ladies. The goshawk had long hurled the water snake far away on the ground. It was leisurely looking at its surroundings, but it released an awe-inspiring momentum.

Jiang Jiumei chuckled and asked, “Elder Brother, the said being is a powerhouse from the imperial family, right?”

Ou Yangming smiled faintly and asked her in return, “What do you think?”

“It must be.”

“Why?”

“This is the only crisis left for the Humans, so will the imperial family sit by idly?”

Ou Yangming waved his hand and said, “Ah, it’s not so simple…”

Back then, he would not have considered so much too. Nonetheless, everything became much more complicated after Deng Xiyuan, Ni Jingshen, and the others expressed themselves. As such, he was forced to consider more things now.

Ni Yinghong went forward and held Jiang Jiumei’s slim hand. She told her softly, “Jiumei, the imperial family’s greatest powerhouse won’t come.”

“Why?”

“Because… He has to keep watch at the center to domineer over the world. Therefore, your older brother has to be the one to eliminate the demons and monsters,” Ni Yinghong explained, but Ou Yangming could tell she did not speak from her heart.

Jiang Jiumei could not understand it, but she did not question closely. She blinked her beautiful big eyes and pondered the matter on her own.

“Don’t think too much. We just have to move on because everything will eventually turn out for the best.” Ou Yangming chuckled and flashed toward the water snake. A flash of light was seen on his band as the snake was stored inside.

The goshawk was reluctant to let the dead creature leave, but it did not express it.

Ou Yangming later waved his hand and said, “Let’s go and see what exactly happened.

The young ladies nodded and were about to walk toward him when there was a commotion in the village. Pu Wen carefully went forward but slowed down as he was closer to the goshawk, and he looked worried and in fear.

Ou Yangming was surprised because he could tell how frightened Pu Wen was but still came forward. He figured that the chief must have something important to tell him.

As he waved his hand, the goshawk spread its wings and stayed away even though it was displeased.

Seeing as the goshawk and Multi-armed King Kong were far away, Pu Wen was finally relieved. He jogged toward Ou Yangming and fell to his knees again. “Sir, please show mercy and save our village again.”

“What do you mean?” Ou Yangming asked in a deep voice.

“Sir, that water snake isn’t the only one, another one is occupying the waters upstream. They’ve destroyed most of the villages nearby. If that water snake isn’t gotten rid of, our village won’t be able to survive too,” Pu Wen quickly explained. He later retrieved a wooden box and presented it to the young fellow with respect. “Sir, this is a treasure that has been kept by our village for generations. Please kindly accept it.”

Ou Yangming twitched his mouth. It was worth noting that he set his eyes on different things now.

He might not even lay his eye on the imperial family’s precious treasures, let alone one from the unknown small village. Nevertheless, he reached out to accept the wooden box after a moment of hesitation.

“Elder Sister Ying, Jiumei, are you interested in this?” Ou Yangming turned to ask.

The eyes of Ni Yinghong and Jiang Jiumei lit up, and they nodded without any delay.

They had aimed so high that their target was the spirit beast. Given that the unrestrained creature here was merely a half-spirit beast, if they were afraid of it, how could they face the spirit beast calmly?

“We’ll accept the gift and will settle the water snake for you. You may return.”

“Yes.”

Pu Wen responded to Ou Yangming and got up happily. Once he returned to his people, joyful cheers were heard.

They presented the village’s treasure as a gift, but it would be a fortune out of the misfortune if they managed to save their village by doing so.

Ou Yangming instructed the goshawk and Multi-armed King Kong, “Stay here and don’t move around. We’ll be back soon.” He later nodded at the young ladies, then he carried the birdcage and went upstream.
