Chapter 1534 Tough Journey (1/2)

They stayed for two and a half days in Damakan. After hanging around for two days, they got on their bikes in the afternoon and set out towards Huika.

Initially, they had only planned to stay for a day in Damakan. However, there was a huge storm that night and the rainwater persisted for a day, slowing them on their journey.

They had bought quite a number of stones there. The two that they had cut open had been valuable. Li Du had made five to six million. He did not carry the money with him but converted it to more stones instead.

The black hole was now practically full. Li Du did not know how many jade pieces there were inside. He only knew that his trip to Myanmar had been productive. The money he made would be sufficient for three generations.

Huika was located in the southeast of Damakan, not too far away. However, there was a mountain between the two places. The road conditions were also very poor. Besides, the military had set up a customs pass on top of the mountain. Hence, it would not be easy to go to Huika.

They were still traveling on motorcycles. This time around, not only there were slopes, but they also had to get down to push the vehicles from time to time. The terrain was all muddy. Sometimes, the huge motorcycles would be stuck in the dirt.

Not long later, a few cars caught up with them behind. The people were driving all-terrain vehicles. Additionally, the vehicles had been modified to have huge power engines. Although the terrain was bad, they could still travel as though it was a flat road.

Hearing the engine of the all-terrain vehicle and seeing that other people had caught up with them from some distance away, Li Du was envious. His eyes could not help but linger on the vehicles.

Coincidentally, the people inside the vehicle were familiar with them. They were also Chinese. Previously they had met at a field named Mochi. These men knew about Da Mao's capabilities and invited Da Mao and Li Du to check out their stones. However, they had been rejected and were quite unhappy.

After Li Du noticed them, they also noticed Li Du and his men.

Seeing the bunch of them who were pushing the motorbikes with much effort, the other group started to laugh. They gloated as they watched, ”Oh, aren't these Master Pao and Master Liu? And a few of the little brothers, what are you guys called again? We meeting once more. This is clearly fate.”

Zhong Da Pao looked at them coldly and said, ”A bunch of idiotic pigs.”

”What did you said?” A man wearing shades exclaimed angrily.

The man who was sitting in the driver seat waved his hands. ”Calm down, Master Pao is a local expert. We cannot afford to offend him. But the expert has been trapped here, he can't run far anymore.”

He then looked at Da Mao and said, ”Master Mao, if you are willing, we have a seat for you on our vehicle anytime. Let's go together and you can help me. I will not treat you ill. How about that?”

Da Mao was trying to push a motorbike along the muddy road. He rolled his eyes and said, ”Doesn't sound too tempting.”

Someone laughed sinisterly. ”He doesn't know who the good guy is, no foresight is.”

The engines revved again, releasing acrid smoke in the air. The bunch of them could not help but cough.

Liu Zi was infuriated. He pointed at the vehicle and yelled, ”D*mn it, you guys are cocky. Today, I will…”

”That's enough, if you have that energy to scold other people, first help Mister Li to get his bike out,” Zhong Da Pao stopped him. ”Plenty of opportunities to lash out at them next time.”

Young Markelov spat out his chewing gum and asked Li Du, ”Boss, do you want to change your vehicle?”

Li Du understood what he meant and said, ”You have a way?”

Young Markelov laughed and said, ”No problem.”

After some thoughts, Li Du still rejected the idea, shaking his head. As he always said, there was no reason to become an enemy with someone over a few words.

The bunch of them continued pushing their vehicle along. Finally, they had passed the muddiest path. Right then, each of them looked extremely haggard. Their shoes were all soiled with mud, and so were the tires. The exhausts of some of the cars had been filled with muddy water and could no longer work. Driver could only stop and fix them.

Li Du started to grow mad. He said angrily, ”How much are the Hpakant mines worth? Why can't they fix the road?”
