Chapter 90: Intolerable!

“Huh?”

Qian Jin looked around and frowned as he shook his head. He murmured, “Am I being delusional? I felt as if something just ran past me far away.”

“No, wait!” Qian Jin’s cartilage in the lower half of his ear shook, and his eyes instantly sharpened. Under Gabriella’s nervous stare, he slowly gripped onto the handle of the Zhanmadao tightly. “There is a fight happening in front of us,” he said to Gabriella.

“Fight?” Gabriella took a peek at the dense forest ahead of them. She was doubtful. “Everything is blocked off by the big trees at the front, and there are no sounds of fights or battles. How could he be so sure? How could he know that there is a fight happening ahead of us?”

Qian Jin bent his back as he tiptoed towards the battle that was happening close to them. One of his hands held onto the Zhanmadao, and his other hand held onto Gabriella’s hand. He thought to himself, “Could this battle be a trap? I’ve been having a strange feel of being monitored maliciously. Could it be that Lucas paid the assassins to act in front of me to attract my attention?”

“It doesn’t matter what is happening; I need to carefully observe it.” Qian Jin marched forward using his unique quick and short steps as he headed towards the location of the battle.

Number One stared at Qian Jin’s movement through the telescope. He frowned as he asked Nasda who was standing beside him, “Take a look at him. His walking posture is a bit like that of wolves, leopards, and…”

Nasda had his bow and arrow in his hands and was ready to strike. “It’s like a mix of all kinds of beast movements when they are getting ready to strike,” he said. He stared at Qian Jin without even blinking; it almost felt like his eyes were glued onto Qian Jin. “Could it be that this kid mastered a Beast Fighting Technique? Wait, he has to master more than one Beast Fighting Technique to have such an impressive form! But how is that possible? How old is he? It takes a lot of time just to master one Beast Fighting Technique,” he said to Number One.

Like an agile cat, Qian Jin jumped and rushed through the forest. Soon, he jumped into a tall bush that was right next to the battle. To his surprise, he actually knew the people in the battle! It was Fire Adventure Team!

“This?” Qian Jin was stunned. There were no outsiders; this fight was between all the team members. It was an internal conflict. Wilfred wore soft armor, and he was holding two short polearms that Franklin forged for him using the Level 5 Refined Iron that Qian Jin made. He suddenly shook his wrist, and the two polearms left afterimages in the air. The two short polearms glided off of the opponent’s blade as they left a series of continuous sparks, and the tip directly pierced through his opponent’s throat and left a bloody hole that people could see through.

The only member of Fire Adventure Team that was left except for Wilfred was the swordswoman that Qian Jin saw at Franklin’s Blacksmith Shop. The long blue hair that she tied into a ponytail before was no longer smooth; it had become much messier. Her red pretty leather armor that emphasized her beautiful curved figure also had a few cuts on it. She was also injured; Qian Jin saw a few deep wounds on her body. Her big eyes that seemed to be able to talk were staring at her former captain Wilfred angrily.

“Why? Why did you kill them?” The swordswoman tightly held onto her longsword that was about four fingers wide as Level 6 Warrior Energy floated around her body. “We are teammates! We’ve been together for more than three years!” she shouted.

“Three years. Yeah, three years…” Wilfred squinted his long and thin eyes. He sneered and let out a smirk. “In three years, we had been struggling to survive. This time, since we have clearly identified the location of this energy stone lode, do you think it’s better to share it with a group of people or keep it to myself?” he asked

“Energy stone lode?” Qian Jin’s heart skipped a beat. There had been numerous adventurers who came to the Sunset Mountains to search for energy stone lodes; even professional mine prospectors had come to search for it. After many years, they all concluded that there were no energy stone lodes at this gigantic Sunset Mountain’s outer layer. Who knew that the energy stone lode would be found by this small Fire Adventure Team?

The Adam’s apple in Qian Jin’s throat moved as he swallowed some saliva. There was no warrior that wouldn’t be intrigued by energy stones! If the scale of the energy stones was in terms of a lode, then even the Qian Family, one of the three Ultimate Supreme Bloodline Families in Zence Empire, would act.

“For an energy stone lode…” Anger and disappointment appeared in the swordswoman’s blue eyes. “For an energy stone lode, you were willing to kill the person who had saved your life three times?” she shouted.
