Chapter 490 - Chapter 490 The True Master (2/2)

The moment those words were uttered, the space fell silent, all eyes fixed on Chen Yu.

The man from before hurriedly ran over, grabbing Chen Yu’s shoulder in a panic.

“Are you serious?”

Chen Yu coughed twice, pushed the man aside with a shove, and his body flashed straight to the depths of the cave.

This display of skill startled everyone; they had never seen such speed.

By the time they gathered themselves, Chen Yu had already taken the girl’s pulse.

“This young girl must’ve been poisoned with lead, causing her flesh and blood to rapidly deteriorate! Do you have any fresh Ulin grass here? With this, I’m confident I can cure your leader within three days.”

To everyone’s surprise, upon hearing this request, they all stood there dejected, heads down.

Even the man from before sighed heavily.

“Sir, if it were possible to obtain fresh herbs, we wouldn’t have let our leader get to this state.”

Chen Yu frowned, “When I came I noticed there was a big mountain about three miles away, shouldn’t there be fresh herbs there?”

The man’s face was filled with helplessness.

“You probably aren’t aware of our situation here. Within hundreds of miles, all resources are controlled by the Milore Family, and we can’t get any herbs at all.”

Chen Yu’s mouth fell open in disbelief; he hadn’t expected the Milore Family to be so domineering.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu approached the man. Stay tuned to Novgo

“Then who exactly are you people?”

There was a spark of anger in the man’s eyes, “Put it this way, we are the original inhabitants of this place! When the Milore Family first came here, we welcomed them warmly, but we never expected…”

“I see!” There was a strange emotion flickering in Chen Yu’s eyes.

He knew all too well the ways of the Knights of the Round Table.

It boiled down to the Milore Family forcibly taking over the natives’ territory, restricting their movements, and stripping away all their resources.

Chen Yu briefly readjusted his breathing and pulled the lead man aside.

“If I am not mistaken, there must be some kind of resource exchange between you and the Milore Family; can you tell me where this takes place?”

The man was taken aback; he hadn’t expected Chen Yu to understand the situation here so well.

“Yes, we do have an exchange market. We can only trade some wild game there for their goods! To exchange for the kind of herbs you’re talking about, you’d probably need ten large carts of fish at least.”

A slight smile formed at the corner of Chen Yu’s mouth as he patted the man’s shoulder.

“There’s no need for so much, you just have to tell me where this exchange market is.”

The man seemed to be in a daze. To get access to the exchange market, they needed at least a cart of fish to secure an entry, and even then, the materials they exchanged for were extremely scarce.

Now, with Chen Yu empty-handed, how could he possibly get in?

“Sir, we’ve saved up some spare fish over time. Why don’t you take these with you? Maybe you can exchange them for some supplies.”

Chen Yu shook his head and took a map from the man’s hands.

“Jin Lingsu, wait here for me. I’ll be back in no time!”

Jin Lingsu immediately understood Chen Yu’s intention, moving silently to the bedside and subtly placing a golden spike next to the female leader’s pillow.

Chen Yu didn’t linger any longer, taking the map and swiftly exiting the cave. He carefully made his way along the adjacent path to a desolate plain.

Just as he arrived, a loud boom suddenly came from not far away.
