With Qin Yang leading the way.
Zhu Minglang and Nan Lingsha didn't have to walk around aimlessly.
He was worried that he wouldn't be able to find the Young Master Gang.
Every faction had three spots. Most of the people from the same faction would travel together. Some factions that were on good terms with each other might even form an alliance.
There were many loopholes in the rules of the competition. The more connections and the stronger the faction, the more advantage they would have.
Of course, it didn't rule out the possibility of small factions forming alliances. However, the trust between them might not be strong. They might even fall out over the benefits of a city-state!
Qin Yang told Zhu Minglang that the Zhu Faction had allied with some factions. If they wanted to attack the Young Master Gang, it was best to form an alliance with them.
However, Zhu Minglang and Nan Lingsha felt that it was a waste of time.
Moreover, they had to split the resources equally with them.
Zhu Minglang wasn't very willing.
Zhu Tianguan also told Zhu Minglang that the competition didn't go according to their expectations.
There was no returning the full amount and splitting the spoils 50-50.
Everyone had to rely on their own abilities.
After all, more than half of the resources were scattered in Mechanical City. The disciples of the various factions could search for them and fight for them. They wouldn't split the spoils with them.
"Since Young Master and Young Miss are confident in your own abilities, I don't need to contact the factions of the Zhu Faction." Qin Yang nodded.
"Are there any Monarch Level experts?" Zhu Minglang thought about it and asked.
Qin Yang shook his head. He looked at Zhu Minglang with a strange expression.
If there were Monarch Level experts, they probably didn't need to form an alliance with them.
The Young Master's starting point was a little too high. Under normal circumstances, a Monarch Level expert could support a small faction.
In the Four Major Sects and Six Major Clans, there should be only a handful of disciples with Monarch Level strength.
…
After passing through a few dilapidated streets, the birds flew and the grass grew.
Vines and bushes crawled all over the houses. The ground was full of rubble. Bricks could be seen everywhere. Even some of the eaves were covered in weeds.
In front of him was a desolate and dilapidated city, as if it had been abandoned for decades. The trees were taller than the houses, the plants were dense, and birds and beasts made their nests.
"They're looking for the title deed of Dragon Whelp Valley, but there's a group of Plundering Dragons raised by the Ancient Dragon Palace living in this city. They're very sensitive to the presence of living creatures, especially human Gods, Dragon Shepherds, and other dragons. We have to be careful," said Qin Yang.
Plundering Dragons were ancient dragons that lived in groups and preyed on others.
If they met a ferocious Tyrannosaurus in the wild, they might have a chance of survival. After all, if they ran in all directions, the Tyrannosaurus could only prey on one of them.
But the same couldn't be said for the Skimmer Dragon.
When they moved, they were like well-trained elite warriors. Even some of the overlords of the jungle would take a detour when they saw a group of Marauding Dragons. Most of the time, they were not interested in weak creatures and preferred to challenge stronger creatures.
In terms of hunting.
Their intelligence was even more terrifying than that of humans.
Due to their high intelligence, it was not easy for a force as powerful as the Ancient Dragon Palace to tame them.
"Someone has been killed." Nan Lingsha pointed at a house with a broken wall, indicating that there were bloodstains there.
Zhu Minglang walked over and took a look.
As expected, there was a skeleton lying in the house. Only a few pieces of flesh were left on the body. Judging from the clothes, it was barely possible to tell that the body was a lone traveler.
In the Ancient Bronze Battlefield selection, although those who had gone through two rounds weren't too weak, there would still be some inexperienced people who would enter. It was indeed very easy for them to lose their lives if they were to wander around carelessly.
…
On the tower, Hao Yong saw that someone was approaching Grass City from afar.
His expression was uncertain. He could not help but look at Nie Chong, the Guardian of Purple Sect Lin.
Nie Chong saw it too. He sat between the cattail leaf fans fanned by two maids and said calmly, "Don't worry. As long as your Hao Shaocong is within my disciple's sight, no one will be able to hurt him."
"But that person is Zhu Minglang." Hao Yong was still uneasy.
"Didn't he lose his Swordsman? If he still had his Swordsman strength, even I wouldn't be able to stop him. Since he's already a dragon master, there's nothing to be afraid of," said Nie Chong.
"Master Hao Yong, Xu Mao is an outstanding disciple of Purple Sect Lin. He's also our Guardian Nie Chong's favorite disciple. In my opinion, Zhu Minglang is seeking revenge now. It's the same as giving up the right to rule Lichuan. Besides, isn't my son, Zhao Xi, also here …" Madam Zhao Qin said with a smile.
Hearing this, Hao Yong cheered up a little.
Zhao Xi was also very strong. Not to mention, there was also the monstrous Xu Mao.
Xu Mao was one of the most outstanding disciples of Purple Sect Lin.
"Let's watch carefully. The Zhu Faction still has to give face to Purple Sect Lin. It's best if Zhu Minglang knows the odds are against him and gives up," said Nie Chong.
Weed City wasn't very far from the Maze Wall, so many people had already seen Zhu Minglang and the others approaching Hao Shaocong's group.
This was one of the main events of the tournament. Most people knew that Hao Shaocong had killed Zhu Tong, a disciple of the Zhu Faction, during the tournament.
Zhu Minglang had joined the tournament to avenge his brother, Zhu Tong. He had even said in the mourning hall that he would kill Hao Shaocong with his own hands …
Hao Shaocong, Nie Chong, and Zhao Xi clearly had no idea that Zhu Minglang and the others were approaching them. The spectators on the Maze Wall and the towers couldn't help but look in their direction.
… …
"Roar roar!!!"
A few heart-palpitating growls came from the back of the building.
Zhu Minglang, Nan Lingsha, and Qin Yang had gone around the troublesome Flame Dragons and arrived at Weed City.
Among the run-down wooden buildings covered in vines stood a tall banyan tree. The banyan tree had existed for a very long time, probably even older than Weed City. The branches of the banyan tree were covered in vines. The vines looked like newly grown banyan trees that had taken root in the soil. The nearby run-down wooden buildings had merged with the vines.
Four or five people were discussing something under the ancient banyan tree.
It turned out that the banyan tree wasn't as simple as it looked. The lush branches and leaves of the banyan tree were like a small world. Banyan beehives the size of wooden buildings were hanging from the tree.
The Banyan Beehives were sleeping in the summer. They were like huge green leaves lying around the nests, the branches, and the vines. More terrifyingly, every run-down wooden building seemed to have a huge swarm of Banyan Beehives. Once one of them was disturbed, hundreds of thousands of Banyan Beehives would be awakened!
They had troubled expressions as they tried to think of a way to obtain the brocade box on the banyan tree without disturbing the Banyan Beehives.
When Zhu Minglang, Nan Lingsha, and Qin Yang arrived, they had already seen the Banyan Beehives hidden in the run-down wooden buildings. The Banyan Beehives had reproduced here for countless generations. There were more than a thousand Banyan Beehives.
After entering the place, they subconsciously slowed down their pace and withdrew their murderous auras, so as not to affect the quality of the Banyan Beehives' afternoon nap.
Unlike the Flame Dragons …
The Banyan Beehives wouldn't attack any living beings unless they sensed the humans' intentions!
"This place isn't suitable for fighting," Zhu Minglang lowered his voice, afraid that he would wake up the Banyan Beehives.
"They should be waiting for more help," Qin Yang couldn't make up his mind either.
If they attacked, the Banyan Beehives would definitely be awakened. This would give Hao Shaocong, Zhao Xi, and the others a chance to escape.
However, if they didn't attack now, more and more people from Young Master Huang's gang would gather. With so many people obstructing them, it would be more troublesome for Zhu Minglang to get rid of Hao Shaocong.
"That's easy." Nan Lingsha glanced at the banyan tree that blotted out the sky, and a scroll appeared out of nowhere.
She tossed the scroll into the air and saw a Qilin Dragon step out of the scroll.
The Fire Qilin Dragon could walk on air. Although it was made of ink, it didn't affect its majestic appearance.
The Fire Qilin Dragon charged straight at the Banyan tree and crashed into the largest Banyan Beehive above Hao Shaocong, Zhao Xi, and the others.
This collision was extremely powerful, and it instantly woke up all the banyan bees in the circle. The wings of the banyan bees flapped at almost the same time, and then an ear-piercing tremor sounded in the extremely silent Weed City, as if an extremely powerful rumbling storm had blown up somewhere!
Under the Banyan tree, Hao Shaocong, Zhao Xi, Xu Mao, and the others were still discussing how to deal with the situation when the Fire Qilin Dragon woke up the Banyan Beehives …
Although the Banyan Beehives wouldn't attack living beings for no reason, once they were enraged, they would treat all living beings in their line of sight as enemies.
What made their expressions change drastically was that after the Fire Qilin Dragon crashed into the Banyan Beehive, it turned into a pool of ink and disappeared under the Banyan tree. When the Banyan Beehives woke up and opened their eyes, they only saw the group of sneaky humans under the Banyan tree. There was no Fire Qilin Dragon!
"What are you looking at? Run!"
"Which bastard tricked us!"
These people were scared out of their wits and didn't dare to stay under the Banyan Beehive any longer. They all displayed their profound skills in escaping and disappeared without a trace before the Banyan Beehive could even fly into the air.
"Good job!" Zhu Minglang gave Nan Lingsha a thumbs up.
"Let's go after them," Qin Yang said as he looked in the direction Hao Shaocong had escaped.
"No need. You guys just stay here and observe. See if there's a chance to get the brocade box on the tree," Zhu Minglang said to Nan Lingsha and Qin Yang.
It was better for him to kill people personally.
The main reason was that Zhu Minglang also wanted the title deed to the Dragon Whelp Valley. It should be a resource that all the major forces wanted. Now that the Banyan Beehive was disturbed and chasing after Young Master Huang and the others, it was a good opportunity for them to take the item.
"Then be careful," Nan Lingsha said with a nod.
In this Tournament of Forces, if they wanted to stand out, they didn't have to rely on eliminating all their opponents. Instead, they had to see which force obtained the most resources.
Therefore, they couldn't let go of any resources that they could obtain. Otherwise, the authority to oversee the Li Chuan land would no longer belong to them.
"You guys should be more careful. There are still many Devil Fiends' nests up there," Zhu Minglang reminded them.
