Yes, "Meng Chao said cautiously.
"If we're going to fight against each other some other day, why don't we retreat to the wall and rest? At the very least, we won't have to worry about being attacked from both sides.
"We were lucky just now. We didn't run into any Hell Beasts, and the Slit-mouthed Anacondas weren't infested by Blood Flowers, but good luck won't always follow us. What do you think?"
"I think that you're right. We can settle our scores some other day. Right now, let's think of a way to get out of this stupid place first."
Qin Hu looked at the squirming shadows in the subsurface plasma, then looked down at the intersecting wounds on his body. His flesh was torn, and he could see the white pain in the depths of his wounds. He laughed bitterly and reluctantly agreed to it. He used his saber to support his swaying body and maintained a distance of five meters from Meng Chao. With each step, he left behind bloody footprints on the wall.
Both of them sat down cross-legged and sighed in relief at the same time. They moaned as if they had just escaped death.
Meng Chao spent nearly two thousand contribution points to do some intensive care. He touched the backpack he had tossed beside the wall and brought out some fragrant compressed food to munch on.
Qin Hu's eyes were glued to the food, but he was too embarrassed to ask for it. He could only grit his teeth and punch his stomach as if he was venting his anger. His punch tore open his wounds again, and he grimaced in pain.
Meng Chao wanted to laugh, but he felt conflicted.
When he remembered that the situation at the top of the cliff was unclear and that Qin Hu, who was at the peak of Earth Realm, might be the only crucial chess piece that could change the situation, he made up his mind. He pinched his nose and tossed a few high-calorie compressed food, a few gene medicines, and an emergency medical kit to Qin Hu.
Qin Hu was slightly stunned. His face turned red, but he quietly drank the gene medicine. Then, he skillfully sutured his wounds and bandaged them up.
After he regulated his breathing for a while, his vitality magnetic field stabilized, and some color returned to his face. He hesitated for a long time before he said reluctantly, "Brat, I owe you one, so I'll write off the grudge between us! Once we return to Dragon City, as long as you and your son don't show up in front of me all the time, I won't bother you! "
Meng Chao could not help but laugh. He imitated Qin Hu's way of speaking and said, "Do you think I'll write off the grudge just because you said so? Then, I'll be really embarrassed! "
"You —"
It was rare for Qin Hu to lower himself so much. He did not expect to be looked down upon by a junior. He was a little angry out of humiliation. "Since you have no intention of making peace, why did you jump out to save me just now?"
Meng Chao snorted coldly. "Don't misunderstand. From the start to the end, I never thought about saving you. I just wanted to watch coldly as you were cut to pieces by the Slit-mouthed Anaconda and die without a grave. In any case, people like you deserve to die.
"In the end, I didn't master my stealth skills and was discovered by the Slit-mouthed Anacondas. That's why I was forced to show myself. It has nothing to do with you."
Qin Hu was stunned for a moment. He scratched his beard and said, "You don't have to tell me the truth. Just say that you repaid evil with kindness and helped me. You can even win my favor."
"Why would I want to win your favor? What kind of peerless master are you? A God State Overlord?"
Meng Chao said stiffly. "Besides, didn't you say that you're really smart and that you could see through my schemes with just one glance? What if you think that I'm trying to gain your favor and have ulterior motives? What if you think that I'm trying to gain your favor and kill me regardless of the consequences?
"After all, that's what you did when we were on the cliff!"
Qin Hu was embarrassed and angry. His face turned red as he said, "Brat, let's be clear. You're right, I really want to kill you, but if you hadn't attacked first, I wouldn't have done it. Am I crazy? Am I not afraid of being punished by the Supernatural Tower if I kill people casually?"
Meng Chao frowned. "What?!"
"It's up to you whether you believe me or not."
Qin Hu spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm and gave up on himself. "Brat, you got lucky and managed to get close to Thunderbolt, Yan Organization, and Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu. You're even a student from Agricultural University's martial arts course. I can't afford to offend any of these forces of power, so why would I dare to touch you?"
Meng Chao thought about it. "You can kill me and toss me deep underground. If I'm alive, I won't be able to find my corpse, and if I'm dead, I won't be able to find any evidence."
"Nonsense," Qin Hu said.
"Even if the Supernatural Tower can't find any evidence to punish me, do you think that Yan Organization, Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu, and the ruthless people from Thunderbolt pay a lot of attention to evidence and respect the law?
"I have a deep grudge against you, and I appeared in two mine exploration teams that were competing fiercely against each other. Then, you disappeared for no reason. If you accuse me of this, regardless of whether I did it or not, I can only stick my head out and accept it obediently.
"I've been fighting for years in Dragon City, and I have a reputation. I have a big family and a big business. If I fought with you because of a moment of pride, I would have to face the wrath of Thunderbolt, Yan Organization, Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu, and Agricultural University's martial arts course. I might end up having my family destroyed. I would only do that if I was crazy!"
Meng Chao was dumbfounded. "Then, when we ran into each other underground, you had a fierce look in your eyes and threatened me. You said that I was lucky, or else you would kill me …"
"We're all people who work in the game, and we need our dignity!"
Qin Hu said fearlessly. "At that time, there were a lot of people around us, including Weeping Reaper Lin Chuan. He's a famous person in the field. Did I want to show weakness to you in public?
"Even if I couldn't kill you, I would just say a few harsh words to scare you. It's just a normal operation. Were you really scared by me? Hahahaha!"
He laughed as if he had discovered a new continent.
He laughed so hard that his wounds tore again, and he sucked in sharp breaths of pain.
A thin layer of frost appeared on Meng Chao's face.
As he thought about Qin Hu's words, his pupils suddenly shrank to the size of two needles. He asked, "Are you saying that we attacked first, and that's why you attacked us?"
"Duh. I was originally too lazy to attack you, but since you asked for your own death, you can't blame me for what happens."
Qin Hu narrowed his eyes and said hatefully, "You killed Yan Ping, and this is the signal for us to start an all-out war. In this sort of situation, even if I cut you down in front of Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu and brought the case to the Supernatural Tower, I wouldn't be able to find anything wrong with it."
"Wait, who's Yan Ping?" Meng Chao felt that he had found the key.
"You have the guts to kill us, but don't have the guts to admit to it?"
Qin Hu smiled coldly. "Yesterday, your people sneaked into our camp and tried to steal the Red Radiance Jade sample as well as our survey data. In the end, they were discovered by the sentinels. When your people ran away, they slit our sentinels' necks. They died a horrible death, and that was Yan Ping!
"Of course, by the looks of it, you should be in the dark. But then again, you're just in Spirit Tattoo Realm. Why did you come here to join in the fun? Lu Siya's a cunning woman. Even if she was up to something, she wouldn't have told you. She wanted you to die here without knowing what was going on. How pitiful!"
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and enunciated each word clearly, "That's why you collapsed the wall to take revenge on us?"
Qin Hu could not wrap his head around it. "What wall?"
Meng Chao told him about the corporate espionage and the collapse of the wall.
"Shen Yulong did these things behind our backs?"
Qin Hu was a little surprised. He thought about it and shook his head. "That's impossible. Shen Yulong has been with our captain all this time. He wouldn't have time to do these schemes. Besides, don't you think that calculating the time to collapse the wall is too complicated?
"The time for the wall to collapse has to be accurate down to the second. How would we know when you would pass by?
"If you really had the ability to do so, we would have placed four-star sharpshooters on the wall. As long as they could destroy the head of a Heaven Realm superhuman, we would have been able to profit.
"As for the corporate espionage, I've never heard of it. We've already made a lot of maps over the past few days and explored dozens of mines. We even have a sample of the Red Radiance Jade vein that has less than 10% of it. We have all of them. There's no need for us to target you!"
"Are you sure?"
Meng Chao stared at Qin Hu. He wanted to find signs that he was lying under his beard. "Could it be that your captain and Shen Yulong were blinded by their greed and worked together to deceive you so that both of you would end up in a war that would end in mutual destruction?"
"How is that possible?"
Qin Hu said disapprovingly. "Frenzied Saber and Shen Yulong are just employees. Even if they manage to find the Red Radiance Jade mine, Universe Corporation will have the right to mine it first. If they get the meat, we'll get the soup. Why would we risk universal condemnation and offend Sky Pillar Corporation and the Supernatural Tower?"
When he said this, he was suddenly stunned.
After thinking about it for a while, his beard started trembling.
"We didn't collapse the wall, and you didn't kill the sentries. Then …"
Qin Hu mumbled, "Then who did it?"
"Now, do you understand why I didn't want to fight against you when we were on the cliff?"
Meng Chao said coldly. "Right now, we're both involved in a scheme, and this scheme doesn't just concern our survival, it also concerns the success or failure of the northern offense. It also concerns Dragon City's future! "Your wife and child will be staying in Dragon City for the next few decades. You and your wife are really close, so you wouldn't want to see millions of monsters rush into Dragon City and tear her to shreds, right?"
"How did you know that I'm really close to my wife?" Qin Hu asked curiously.
"If you didn't love your wife, why would you watch your brother-in-law, Shen Rongfa, turn the company into a mess and do nothing about it?" Meng Chao said angrily.
Qin Hu's face turned red, and he defended himself. "We're already married, so there's no need to talk about love. But my wife has been with me since I had nothing. At that time, I was young and hot-blooded. I was bitten by a monster, and the doctors said that even if I was saved, I'd be useless.
"But she never left me and took care of me for a total of ten days and ten nights. She even dragged me back from the gates of hell. She even said that it was fine even if I couldn't become a superhuman. She would become a harvester with me, and we'd at least be able to make a living.
"I don't have any other good points, but I'm really loyal to my friends. I know that Shen Rongfa is a piece of trash who can't do anything right, but my wife is really good. Even if my brother-in-law is a dog, I'll still pinch my nose and bear with it!
"You're really something, brat. If you were wronged by Shen Rongfa, you could complain to me in private. Am I really an idiot who can't tell right from wrong? Would I mistreat an ace employee in the company?
"But you put me in a difficult position in front of everyone. What else can I do? Of course, I could only support my brother-in-law to the end, or else, I'd lose face! "
He continued to pay his debts.
He was in pain, but he was happy.
It was the beginning of the month, and the value of the tickets was really high. 'Thank you, brothers and sisters, for your great support!'
