190 Enter the Cave (1/2)
At the moment the entrance of Fox Cave formed completely, Happy and his party reached it with two zombies in tow. Under the gazes that felt like spotlights, they stopped before the three spokespeople from the sects, who also seemed to be the strongest of the lot.
Red Dust, vice sect master of Chivalry Sect, Solitary Perpetual Joy, who was the leader of Perpetual Joy Sect, and Situ Luoyu, sect master of Fallen Feathers Sect.
Due to Happy and his party's arrival, the hundreds of powerful players near the entrance of Fox Cave in the forest sank into a strange atmosphere. At that moment, almost every single person knew who Happy was, and they could also tell that he had gotten much stronger than when he was at Mount Song after he disappeared for around ten days once he defeated multiple sects.
No one tried to stop Happy. They held their breaths and cast their gazes on the three spokespeople in front of the entrance of Fox Cave.
They wanted to know what the three leaders who had managed to gather nearly one hundred powerful players to their sects would do.
”Blue-robed Noble Sword User, I've heard of your name for a long time!”
”Hello, Happy.”
However, against their expectations, the sect master of Fallen Feathers Sect and vice sect master of Chivalry Sect almost went up together to greet Happy with a fist in their palms and a smile on their faces. It shocked the many players with high-tier martial arts who had been exercising their fists, prepared to break Happy's bones.
Happy did not say anything.
Compared to everyone else, his reaction was slightly cold and surprising. He turned his head around and cast a glance at the area outside the forest. Then, he turned back and said faintly, ”The defense line you set is really hard to cross.”
Red Dust was the first to look regretful. He shook his head and smiled wanly.
Situ Luoyu stopped moving due to embarrassment. He then smiled and explained. ”Haha. It's because we need it for our current situation. We've already sacrificed too much for Fox Cave, which is why we decided to organize a serious raid for once. We didn't expect to bring out a high ranker from the Famous Person Rank.”
”You praise me too much… But my arrival shouldn't have destroyed your plans, right?”
”Hmph! As long as you're the only four here, you won't disrupt our plans too much.” At that moment, Solitary Perpetual Joy, who had said nothing before, spoke up. His tone was slightly stiff and full of hostility, but it was likely that he had reacted this way because Happy's reaction had been too indifferent.
Happy swept a glance at him before he looked away. His gaze made it seem as if he was looking at weeds.
”Even so, let's mind our own businesses. You go and organize your plans; my friends and I will be going ahead first.”
Red Dust was stunned, and he could not help but cry out in surprise, ”The four of you?”
”What's wrong?” Happy sensed the mockery and delight from their impending doom coming from the gazes all around them. His expression did not change. ”Is something the matter?”
”Oh, no, it's just that Fox Cave is incredibly dangerous. Brother Happy, do you want to challenge Fox Cave with Chivalry Sect? If you do, you'll be a lot safer.”
”Please don't trouble yourself.”
Even though Chivalry Sect was well-known as a chivalrous sect whose name spread far and wide during the early stages of the game, it was the first time Happy had met them. They had never had any connection with each other, which was why he did not want to get too close to them. He rejected Red Dust's offer tactfully on the spot.
”You've spent a lot of time and effort to organize this operation. The four of us have our own plans as well. Besides, if we act together, it'll be difficult for us to distribute the items we get. I appreciate your good intentions, but that's all. Goodbye!”
Once he finished speaking, he wrapped his fist in his palm toward the three spokespeople and became the first to enter Fox Cave. Red Dust did not even manage to give him any other words of warning about Fox Cave before Thunderous Battle and the other two quickly followed behind him.
Red Dust was rendered speechless.
Happy walked too quickly for Red Dust to have the time to continue trying to persuade him and his group or try to stop them. His face was full of regret, and he sighed while looking at the entrance of Fox Cave. He then shook his head in resignation.
