123 A Small Temple in the Depths of the Mountain, an Eminent Monk (1/2)
When Happy returned to the game, it was so dark around him that he could not see a thing. He had to get familiar with the darkness for some time before he gradually got used to his surroundings and was able to see around himself.
There was still the residue of a bonfire on the ground, but All-powerful Medicinal Stone was nowhere to be found. A white pigeon suddenly appeared in front of Happy, flapping its wings. The fluttering sounds instantly broke the silence around him.
He took the letter and opened it.
[I have some matters to attend to, so I'll be off first!]
The person who wrote the letter was All-powerful Medicinal Stone.
Right after he finished reading, another messenger pigeon appeared.
Flap! Flap! Flap!
Happy was stunned.
It was also a letter from the unkempt man. This time, there was more content there. He spoke about the battle that happened all over Mount Song right then, and he also cautioned Happy to be careful.
Happy folded the letter and brought out his map to take a look. Just as expected, there was only one red dot on the map. All-powerful Medicinal Stone was already three-tenths of a mile away from him!
Happy put away the map. He could already make a general guess of what happened. The unkempt man could not withstand being lonely and should have gone over to watch the fight. With how restless and fidgety he was, it was very difficult for him to stay in one place for a prolonged period of time.
Besides, he was a loner who was rumored to love taking part in trouble and dishing out wild cards whenever he could.
”It's better if he left. Now I can go over there.”
With the thief missing from his side, Happy instantly felt as if he had been relieved of a great burden. His body became light, and with the night wind blowing in his favor, he headed to an even darker spot with familiarity.
Soon after he left, a group of full-equipped players who had extraordinary presences charged to where Happy was from the depths of the forest.
Someone from the group cast a glance at the map and said viciously, ”He already left. We were too late.”
Before he finished speaking, a sonorous voice rose into the air. ”Don't make your conclusion so soon. He just logged in, so he should not be too far away. Send a messenger pigeon to fourth right now, and have him look for Half Immortal to tell another fortune and figure out the coordinates of the brocade box. As long as we can determine the direction, it'll just be a matter of time before we find him.”
When the messenger pigeon flapped its wings and left the forest, the master of the sonorous voice let out a smug snort through his nose.
”Hmph, when I heard magpies chirping by my ears today, I knew that I'll definitely be lucky. The thirteen staff-using monks lost three brocade boxes, and those people only know that two of them have been stolen, but they didn't know that the bandit leader, who had the third brocade box, was killed… Heh heh, it's entirely their fault that we Seventeen Swordsmen of Yan Mountains will become rich!”
”Big brother, you're really wise! There are now fewer than one hundred tributes left in the game. When the emperor's birthday arrives, the number will definitely be reduced even further. If we can get one, our names will definitely ring through the entire game!”
The sonorous voice rose again. ”There is no ifs in this! We will definitely be able to get that brocade box! Alright! Everyone, rest where you are. Remember, don't light a fire and alert the enemy. Also, Mount Song is filled with people right now. It won't be good if someone sets their sights on us.”
The group voiced their obedience!
Soon, a messenger pigeon flew through the sky and stopped at the person's arm.
He opened the letter, looked at it, and quickly tore the paper before he flung the pieces into the wind.
”He's heading southeast! There's only a cliff over there, so he won't be able to escape! After him!” he ordered in a cold and fierce voice.

Their spirits lifted, the group ran through southeast.
Soon after they left, faint sounds of people rushing forward could be heard from the depths of the forest again. Two men in black chased after the group who had just left. They appeared on the now empty spot like phantoms, and when they landed on the ground, they made no sound. Their gazes were cold and aloof.
”Hey, we got lucky.”
