Chapter 72 (2/2)

Warren pointed to the front, suggesting Ray to look. Ray carefully watched and found there were a bunch of small green trees in front of them. The trees just looked like a wall and blocked the road.

“If Master Trian wanted to see anyone, these trees would stand aside and a path would appear. Now they have blocked the way, which means that Master Trian doesn’t want to see anyone today.”

Sui Xiong and Ray were totally stunned, since they never thought Master Trian could be so eccentric. When Master Trian was in a low spirit, no one could see his house, not to mention the gate of his house.

“Can I call him?” Ray asked.

“You’d better not, this place has been heavily secured. If he thinks you are asking for trouble…” Warren had a shiver, even his face got a bit pale, “We’d better just come another day.”

Judging from his face, Ray realized that it was not wise to break in or call to him aloud, so he had no choice but to go back to the village.

When he came back to the hostel, Ray instantly checked out from the old room that he shared with Steele and picked a room on the opposite side of hallway. Ray was determined to do so since he did not want to share a room with that creepy Steele any longer, even if the condition of the new room was not that ideal.

At night, when Ray fell asleep, Steele asked a few strong tree fairies to come to her room and began to have sex with them. Seeing Steele was enjoying herself, Sui Xiong didn’t want to disturb her, and he began to fly to the place where Master Trian lived.

It only took him a short while to arrive at Master Trian’s house, and he saw the tree wall was still there. Clearly, Master Trian didn’t want to see anyone.

But, Sui Xiong could not wait for tomorrow; he thought the materials and tasks he had with himself would definitely change Master Trian’s mind.

Sui Xiong remembered that when he was in college, no matter how arrogant or unsocial a professor was, as long as he heard news like “good task”, or”abundant money”, he would immediately change his attitude. Even if this world was different from the earth, the personality and the way of thinking of the researchers was almost the same. So Sui Xiong believed that since a good task, abundant money or material would also change the scholars’ attitude on the earth, it would make Master Trian want to see him.

Then Sui Xiong turned his mind into a invisible wave by using his magic power, and sent it forth. The message he sent was about the research material on the huge viper in the Ancient Wood Waste Swamp.

Soon, the trees began to shake and moved to the both sides, and a path was revealed. Walking on the path, one could see beautiful flowers flourishing on both sides which was really refreshing. In the distance, there was a beautiful three-floor western style building which was Master Trian’s house.

Sui Xiong smiled and began to fly along the path.

Immediately, many green vines popped out from both sides and hit him all together; they were like countless vipers going to devour him on the spot or numerous cobwebs that were going to wrap him up.

Sui Xiong was not surprised by this at all, instead he smiled. At the same time, his body gave out a blue light, then the vines were frozen instantly and became strange statues that were hanging in the air.

“Master Trian, you think I am a fool?” Sui Xiong sneered. “Don’t think of me as a mortal. I have already seen the bones hidden beneath the flowers!”

No sound came from the house, but Sui Xiong could feel there was a magical power rising from the house. It seemed like Master Trian was creating a large scale magical array.

“Master Trian, I really want to have a chat with you. Are you interested in inventing the potion that can prolong one’s lifespan?”

“What… what if… you are a liar?” Sui Xiong was surprised by this sound, since it was not a sound of an old man, but of a terrified woman.

“Who are you? Master Trian must be over a few hundred years old; he couldn’t possibly be this young now!”

“I… I am his disciple”

“Where is Master Trian then?” Sui Xiong frowned and flew right toward to the house. “Fine, never mind. I will just leave the material for the task as well as the other materials here, and when he comes back, I shall come again and discuss it with him.”

This time, he did not meet any obstacles and easily arrived at the front of the house. He moved one of his tentacles, and, in the blink of an eye, a huge frozen body of a snake appeared on the ground. He moved a tentacle again, and a floating shining memory crystal appeared in the air.

“Okay, take these things away.”

“Okay… okay…” the disciple said timidily. Then the door opened. Two metal monster statues as high as two Ray’s added together and as sturdy as a big stump walked out. They lifted the frozen snake body together and walked back to the house.

Soon, a monster statue that was as tall as a child came out and held the memory crystal in its hand and went back into the house too.

The door was closed again. Clearly this disciple was determined not to see anyone today.

Sui Xiong turned around and flew straight home, laughing in his mind…
