The small town at the foot of the mountain was still as prosperous as ever. This was because there were a lot of people here, most of whom were adventurers. Usually, when these adventurers gathered together, they would talk about where they had gone on adventures before. But today was different. They were mostly talking about the loud noise from last night.
Last night, a loud noise was heard in the mountain. Everyone in the town heard it, but because it was night time, nobody went to the mountain to check the situation. Although some people went to the mountain, there were also a lot of people who didn't. This was because they knew that there were a lot of people in the mountain. If they went in, they might die. Because of this, many people didn't go in and instead stayed in the town.
There were a lot of taverns and restaurants in the town. In a restaurant called Mountain Wilderness, there was a fat man who lived near the window. This fat man looked to be around 30 years old. His face was greasy, and his clothes were very gorgeous. At first glance, one could see that he was a merchant. At this time, he was sitting by the window and eating the dishes on his table. These dishes were all the best in the restaurant. This fat man attracted the attention of many people in the town.
Some of the people who often moved around the town were actually very familiar with some of the businesses in the town. However, no one had ever seen this fatty before. Therefore, they were very curious about this fatty.
However, those who often moved around the town didn't say anything. Because of the Divine Tomb, there were a lot of people who came to the town. Many of them were unfamiliar faces, and these people were from all walks of life. Therefore, it wasn't strange for a merchant to suddenly appear.
At this time, the fat man seemed to have seen someone. He immediately shouted out of the window, "Old Tian, Old Tian, why are you here? Come and have a drink. "
Everyone looked in the direction of his voice and saw an adventurer walking slowly in the small town outside the window. This adventurer looked a little travel-worn, as if he had just come out of the vast mountains.
This adventurer looked to be around 40 years old. His appearance was very ordinary. He held an unremarkable staff in his hand. There was nothing special about it. As for the soul above his head, it was an ordinary Earth soul.
The adventurer looked at the fatty and said, "Old Li, it's you. Why did you come to the Boundless Mountains?" Then he walked into the shop and sat in front of the table.
Fatty immediately shouted, "Waiter, bring another pair of chopsticks and a bowl, and add two more dishes. Old Tian, why did you come all the way to Mount Dang? Is it also because of the holy grave? "
Old Tian nodded and said, "Isn't that so? I heard that the Vast Dang Mountains had a Saint Tomb, so I came here. I've already been in the Vast Dang Mountains for several days and only came out today. Why are you here? You don't have any business here, do you? "
"What's there to be afraid of if there's no business? But let's do it. Now that there are so many people here because of the Holy Tomb, how can I not come and take a look? Oh right, you said that you've been in the Boundless Mountains for a few days, so were you on the mountain last night? Did you hear that loud noise? Was it the loud noise from last night? It's very loud. "
"I heard it. How could I not hear it? I came back because I heard that loud noise. Sigh, I'm afraid something big is going to happen in the vast mountains this time."
"What's going on? Tell me, if there's any danger here, I'll leave immediately. "
"Sigh, I'll tell you. A few days ago, I entered the Vast Dang Mountains and met the King of the Forest, Yalei. You should've heard of him. I didn't recognize him at that time, but when I saw the Tiger King, I knew that he was Yalei. If I didn't meet him, I wouldn't have left the Vast Dang Mountains."
"What's going on? Did you fight with Yalei? No way, if Yalei really fought with you, you wouldn't be able to walk out alive. "
"I didn't, of course I didn't. With my status, how could I fight with Yalei? It was Yalei who told me something. He wanted me to leave the Vast Dang Mountains as soon as possible, the further the better. I didn't know what happened at that time, so I asked him about it. He seemed very anxious, but he was afraid that I wouldn't leave, so he still told me about it. He said that there was a group of unknown people moving in the woods. They weren't weak, and they were all masked. The leader of the group was wearing a mask, a silver ghost mask. These people were holding people who didn't seem to be very strong. When Yalei saw these people, he was very curious, so he followed them to take a look. After they killed those people, they used their heads to form a formation. Black gas came out of the formation and swallowed the bodies of those killed. It was very scary. Yalei said that these people were performing a blood sacrifice, but he didn't know what exactly they were doing. So he told me to leave as soon as possible. He said that something big would happen in the Vast Dang Mountains, and that someone with my strength wouldn't be able to survive. You know, Yalei's reputation has always been good, so I naturally rushed out. Last night, I was already at the edge of the Vast Dang Mountains, and I thought that I would be out soon. But I didn't expect that I would hear a loud noise coming from the mountains. I thought that it must be what Yalei said, so I ran out early this morning. Old Li, I'm telling you, you'd better leave now. I'll leave as soon as possible, we can't stay here any longer. With our strength, we'll surely die here. You know, Yalei's reputation has always been good, so I naturally rushed out. Last night, I arrived at the edge of the Vast Dang Mountains and thought that I would be out soon. But I didn't expect that I would hear a loud noise coming from the Vast Dang Mountains. I thought that it must be what Yalei said, so I ran out early this morning. Old Li, let me tell you, you better leave now.
"Old Tian, don't lie to me. In the past, when you guys were together and formed an underground adventurer group, I took care of your business a lot. You can't lie to me."
"Of course I won't lie to you. In the past, you took care of us a lot. Later on, if it weren't for the fact that we were old and didn't want to adventure anymore, we might still be working together now. Why would I lie to you? Old Li, you know me the best. We've been working together for so long, when have I ever lied to you?"
"That's true. So, what you said is true? Is there really someone causing trouble in the vast mountains? Then let's go quickly. By the way, when I came, I stored the two horses in a shop nearby. I was going to use the other horse to carry some goods first. Now that I've met you, I don't need any more goods. We'll leave immediately. "
"Okay, we'll leave now. But I've run out of dry food. I'll go buy some dry food."
"There's no need to buy dry food. We'll leave immediately. Tell the shop to prepare the dry food. Waiter, come quickly. Prepare enough dry food for three people for five days. Right, bring some jerky. Money isn't a problem. Bring some water bags as well. Also, prepare two bags of good wine."
Because there were a lot of people in the shop, the waiter didn't hear what the two were talking about. So when he heard the Fatty, he quickly complied and went to the shop.
However, the conversation between the two was heard by the people sitting next to them. These people looked at each other and didn't know what to say. There was no reason for them to say that the two were acting. They were indeed leaving. But if they were telling the truth, then this matter was really strange.
At this time, the Fatty opened his mouth and said, "Old Tian, why does this sound so strange to me? Do you think that Yalei is lying to us? He didn't want you to stay in the mountains, so he deceived you."
"Old Li, keep your voice down. Do you think I'm stupid? I'll believe whatever others say. I'm not afraid to tell you. After Yalei told me, I also searched the mountains. But do you know what I saw? Yalei's corpse, but I didn't see the tiger king's corpse. Think about it, Yalei was known as the king of the forest. If he was killed, would I still dare to stay in the mountains? "
"Nonsense!" The Fatty shouted. But when he looked around, he immediately lowered his voice and said, "Old Tian, don't lie to me. Who is Yalei? He's a famous expert. How could he be killed? Don't lie to me."
"Why would I lie to you? Let me show you something. Have you seen this before?" After he said that, Old Tian took out something from his chest and handed it over to the Fatty.
The Fatty received the thing and looked at it. Then his expression turned serious as he said, "This seems to be an artifact. Moreover, it's made of high quality. It shouldn't be cheap. It's a good thing, but it's already broken. "
"Right, this is an artifact. Moreover, it's a very famous artifact. It's Yalei's shield. Although I haven't seen him use it, I've heard about it. I heard that his shield was bought by the Violet Light Artifact Shop. There's a tiger king pattern on it. Moreover, I heard that he told the shop that they can't let anyone else use the pattern. Therefore, this artifact should be unique to him. Look at the shield, isn't there a tiger king pattern on it?"
"There really is. So this shield belongs to Yalei? Is he really dead? "
"Of course, I buried him with my own hands, but I didn't see his Tiger King Beast. I don't know if it was killed or ran away. Old Li, listen to me. Something must have happened in the mountains, and it must be something big. The sooner we leave, the better. This time, I have a very bad feeling, so I ran out in such a hurry."
Alright, I'll listen to you. Hurry up and eat. After we finish our rations, he should be ready to leave. You don't have to carry this shield with you. Find an opportunity to throw it away. Don't let Yalei's friends and family think that you're the one who harmed him. If they come looking for trouble, then you're finished. "
"You're really daring to say that I harmed Yalei. With my strength, if I didn't harm him, I'm afraid that his tiger king beast would tear me to pieces. Yalei has been famous for many years, what kind of situation hasn't he seen before. The methods that we adventurers use are useless against him. Moreover, he has a tiger king beast by his side, so how could I harm him? But you're right, I can't carry this thing with me.
