Chapter 516: Extracting the Last Drop of Positive Energy (2/2)

At this moment, the unknown threat had been fully exposed so there was no need to let the Elders shun outside help and repeat the history. Moreover, there were enough pieces of evidence at the desert oasis that there was no need for w.a.n.g Lu's time traveler ident.i.ty to be revealed to win trust. At this time, the best course of action was to request help from the Elders of Spirit Sword Sect.

Unfortunately, in the Savage Land, common communication spells could not work at all. Letter correspondence through the altar was the limit, and this was confined within the Savage Land. It was almost impossible to send information to the outside. Therefore, if they wanted to explain the situation to the sect, they must personally send the message.

Then, just as he was awakened, he heard the news that his Junior Brother had been missing in the Ghose Weeping Forest—Ghost Weeping Forest was not far from the desert, so it was not possible not to a.s.sociate the two.

Ouyang Shang said, ”Logically speaking, he should not have the opportunity to free himself in a short time.”

w.a.n.g Lu said, ”Perhaps he doesn't, but he still has his men. The desert tribe might not be his only chess piece. Fenrir only said that this Savage Land doesn't have creatures that are too strong. But by her standard, I'm afraid the Elders of Heavenly Sword Hall are not strong. And that demon king had been operating in the Savage Land for some time before he was sneak attacked by Fenrir.”

Ouyang Shang nodded. ”So it is possible that this is the doing of the demon race. w.a.n.g Donghua is a hostage in their hands, and what they want is…”

w.a.n.g Lu said, ”They want you to immediately save him, to prevent you to go back to the mountain to report, thus exposing their existence too quickly. At the same time, if it goes well, they can also catch a more powerful hostage. So, the rational choice is to ignore the other party's threat but just do the thing that you should do.”

Ouyang Shang said, ”You mean you want me to give up my Junior Brother?”

”I'm asking you to make a more rational choice.”

”More rational choice, meaning more cold-blooded?”

”Well, I didn't expect you to be so idealistic… Let's just say that everything that we just discussed is based on vague speculation. Maybe w.a.n.g Donghua really just loses direction. Perhaps at this time, Junior Brother Liu Xian had already found him and, while scolding him for being reckless, Liu Xian also wrote a letter to Blessed Fountain that say they're all safe and sound, and that it was all just a false alarm.”

Ouyang Shang said, ”It's also possible that Junior Brother w.a.n.g Donghua has fallen into the control of demon race, and that even the whole team members of Junior Brother Liu Xian are exposed to the risk. At this time, if we make even a little bit of mistake…”

w.a.n.g Lu said, ”If there's a bit of mistake, then there will be more people exposed to risk.”

Ouyang Shang and w.a.n.g Lu looked at each other for a long time, not yielding for the other side.

And just at this time, the door was pushed open and Yang Fei, who previously had a relaxed face, now walked in with a gloomy face. In his hand, he was holding a letter that contained an image put on by a spell.

The letter was written personally by Liu Xian, and the spell was also laid by him. The image on the letter was very simple and crude.

It was an image of a b.l.o.o.d.y arm, quietly lying on a white rock. Blood slowly flowed from the spot where the arm was broken off.

Yang Fei said with difficulty. ”Liu Xian said that it's w.a.n.g Donghua's arm… Obviously, it's done by someone, because there was a letter in that hand, and there's a word written with Junior Brother Donghua's blood on it.”

With that, Yang Fei flipped the letter to the next page, and the image changed with it. It was a straight but rather jerky human word: Come.

Both Ouyang Shang and w.a.n.g Lu sucked in a mouthful of cold air.

At this point, their originally vagued speculation had undoubtedly been confirmed.

It was indeed the work of the demon race. Moreover, the opposite party had issued a naked threat.

”Big Brother, what are we going to do now?”

Ouyang Shang got up straight from the bed. ”a.s.semble the team, we're going out.”

And then he turned his head and looked at w.a.n.g Lu.

w.a.n.g Lu took a deep breath. At this time, he had to think hard and weigh all the gains and losses that might come next. Ouyang Shang seemed so determined. Even fully aware that this was a dead end, he still bravely advanced forward. Then...

Should he go with him to save people at the risk of his own life? Or… Should he give up on him? Forsaking the rare talent that had never been seen since the creation of Spirit Sword Sect?

... As a professional adventurer, w.a.n.g Lu was very clear about the importance of being decisive. It was just that, when it was really the time to make a decision, it was actually not that easy.

And just at this time, another person said.

”Senior Brother, I'll go with you.”

With that, w.a.n.g Lu incredulously looked at w.a.n.g Wu who had just entered the room.

Hey, where's that pure and innocent young girl whose cheeks could turn red just by talking with another person? How could you suddenly become so proactive? Master oh Master, is your oestrus period too irregular?
