617 The Pool of Thunder Tribulation (2/2)
”From an escort agency!” Zhu Ba replied and began to tell the whole story. It turned out that an unknown person had requested the top escort agency in Jiang province to deliver this map. The person paid a hefty sum, the biggest the agency had received since their establishment 200 years ago. Naturally, they dared not take the matter lightly. Precisely because of the extra caution, it attracted people's attention. There were no bandits on Wuyang Road, but there were at other places. Before the map was delivered to its destination, it was robbed.
There were not just bandits. After a round of snatching, it eventually ended up in the hands of people from Anyuan Store. Before long, news of the transaction, especially the part about the Ancient Ruin and Pool of Thunder Tribulation, was spreading like wildfire. After hearing the news, Zhu Ba did not want to lose out. He returned to Wuyang Region as fast as he could and delivered it. He did not expect Wang She and Zhou Bao to be discussing the exact same matter.
After listening silently to Zhu Ba's narration, Zhou Bao waved his hand, signaling him to retreat. He turned his head towards Wang She and asked, ”What do you think of this?!”
”It's a trap!” Wang She seemed somewhat discouraged.
”Or rather, it's bait. The Pool of Thunder Tribulation is bait to lure us to the Desolate Island!” Zhou Bao replied calmly. ”Or maybe the Ancient Ruin really does have what we want?!”
”You mean...!”
”Let's go and take a look! After all, we have nothing to lose!” Zhou Bao smiled faintly. ”After such a big ruckus, if we don't go there personally, we'll be looked down upon instead!”
”Okay, when should we set out?”
”Now, but before we go to the Desolate Island, we need to find someone. Maybe he'll have some news that will interest us!”
”Who?!”
”The Child-endowing Buddha!”
The Child-endowing Buddha was living a very comfortable life in the Bigwheel Temple. To a certain extent, he was already an internally fixed successor of the Bigwheel Temple and had been greatly elevated by the Hierarch Huan Ri. No one knew what kind of a method he used to gain his favor. As for Zhou Bao and Wang She's arrival, he seemed to have already predicted it. He had already prepared tea and snacks in his waiting room. He was waiting for them in ease and comfort.
”Damn monk!”
Breaking open the hollow, Zhou Bao appeared in the waiting room. When he first saw the Child-endowing Buddha, he cursed silently. ”I say, you continue to be relaxed. If you ever die on a woman's stomach, nobody will save you!”
”Hahahaha, no way! But you, you will likely end up dying because of greed!” The Child-endowing Buddha rebutted Zhou Bao's sneer with a sharp tone. He glanced at Wang She. ”You guys are here for the entrance to the Ancient Ruin on the Desolated Island, right?!”
”Then, the Ancient Ruin really does exist!” Zhou Bao's eyes flashed. He understood the underlying meaning in Child-endowing Buddha's words.
The Child-endowing Buddha waved his hand, signaling his servants to leave. He took out a map. ”I know, you guys do not lack this, right?!”
”Seems like no one does!” Zhou Bao smiled.
”This is the map from the Thunder Emperor's palace from antiquity times, there is indeed a Pool of Thunder Tribulation inside!” He smiled. ”I think I even know who let this piece of information out!”
”Who?!”
”Devil Fetus!”
