Fifty seconds later, Goldie A 'bao leapt out of the hot spring, using a new basket to carry Li Qingshan on his back. The threat of death and his desire to become stronger drove him on.
"Find a larger courtyard and buy as many livestock as you can from the market. You'll deal with the problem of money. Also, find out where the people of Black Water cave are right now. Understood?"
"Understood!"
Goldie A 'bao began to run around the city. Borrowing a great sum of money to buy a courtyard and livestock in such a short amount of time was not an easy task, but he had been a merchant for many years. He had a wide network of contacts. He arrived at a casino and found an "old friend". Using the golden name of Goldie fort, he borrowed a great sum of money.
When he expressed his eagerness, this "old friend" increased the interest to an insane level, doubling it every month. Goldie A 'bao frowned and agreed through gritted teeth. Now was not the time to get hung up on this. As long as he survived the current crisis and became a powerful shaman, he would have plenty of real money. It would be very easy for him to go back on his word.
He also asked this "old friend" about the whereabouts of the people of Black Water cave. Sure enough, they had left the Fragrant Flower market two days ago and returned to Black Water cave.
Li Qingshan was not disappointed. Even if he obtained the Asura Field now, he would not be able to refine it and use it, so he was in no hurry to take it back. All he needed to do was know where it was.
After defeating the Bone Eating tribe tonight, they would retreat in the face of difficulty. By then, he planned on resting here for a while. Once he recovered some of his strength, going to Black Water cave to retrieve the Asura Field would be as easy as pie.
Afterwards, he made a beeline for the market and bought all the living creatures he could see. Of course, that was apart from people. There were also places in the city that sold slaves. Goldie A 'bao did not mind "eating people", but the price of slaves was rather high. It was not worth it.
Noon arrived. In a remote courtyard in the west of the city, the sounds of various livestock rang out. Horses neighed, donkeys neighed, sheep bleated, and cows mooed. There were even a dozen or so of the sturdy pack animals whose names he did not know.
"Please do it as soon as possible, sir!"
Goldie A 'bao said impatiently. His face was flushed. In the past, he would never have thought that he could become a powerful shaman just by spending money on some livestock. Such an opportunity was not easy to come by.
Li Qingshan stood under the eaves. His small body seemed to have grown a little taller. His red hair had already covered his ears, and sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves. His eyes were slightly closed, and his eyelashes were very long. He completely ignored the cries of the various animals and Goldie A 'bao's voice.
Goldie A 'bao urged, "Sir A' yue!"
"Po, do you think you're lucky to have met me?" Li Qingshan turned around and grinned, showing his white teeth and two sharp tusks. He was showing his talent for the first time.
"Of course, if not for my lord, I would already be dead. I will use my life to repay my lord's kindness!"
"There might be some danger tonight." Li Qingshan's ruby-like scarlet eyes seemed to pierce through time and see the future.
"I'm not afraid of danger!"
Goldie A 'bao said resolutely. It wasn't that he wasn't afraid of danger, but he knew that Lord Moon needed him now, so he wouldn't put him in too much danger. Could it be that he couldn't escape as well?
"Yeah, devouring the life force of a Bone Eating shaman is much better than devouring these animals. It's much better than devouring these animals. Fortune comes from danger! "
Goldie A 'bao said, "I'll definitely get my revenge tonight!"
"Then let's begin!"
The sun gradually set in the west, and the cries of the animals in the courtyard gradually grew sparse before dying off completely in the end.
At dusk, Goldie A 'bao stood among a pile of corpses. His face was filled with excitement. He was a head taller than before at the very least, without a single wrinkle on his face. His hair had all turned black, and his muscles swelled up like they were about to explode. He possessed explosive power in his body too.
"Bury the corpses and get used to your power. Prepare to face the enemy!"
"Yes!"
Night fell, and the noisy Fragrant Flower market quietened down. Apart from a few brothels, it was all dark.
The stars shone resplendently, flickering silently.
There were still a few groups of guards patrolling the city walls, but they all yawned lazily. The safety of the Fragrant Flower market did not depend on them. Their greatest role was to discover fires in the city in time.
Soon after a group of guards passed by, a few black figures leapt onto the city walls, directly leaping into the city. The high wall was practically non-existent to them. Before long, all of the Bone Eating shamans had snuck in.
"Chief, the entire city is filled with his aura. What do we do?"
This place was not like the forest. There were far too many humans here, and their auras were mixed up. Coupled with the various spices and smells, tracking him down was very troublesome.
"Split up and search. You can't wash away his original smell!"
The Bone Eating chieftain gave an order, and the shamans dispersed to search.
The Fragrant Flower market was not large. There were only four main streets, distributed in a triangular shape. With the sensitive sense of smell of the Bone Eating shamans, they could search through the entire area with around a hundred people. As long as they were close enough, even spices could not conceal the smell of the body.
A Bone Eating shaman walked through a gloomy alleyway. Suddenly, he stopped and wrinkled his nose. Within the heavy fragrance, there was a familiar smell, and he could not help but smile viciously. The smell rapidly approached him, and a gust of wind swept over his head.
Goldie A 'bao lunged over and pressed down firmly on the Bone Eating shaman. The Bone Eating shaman let out a deep growl. That was the sound of a hunter discovering prey. It was so deep that it did not alarm too many people, but it was enough for the Bone Eating shamans to hear clearly. They did not want to alarm the Fragrant Flower clan in the Fragrant Flower market either.
All of the Bone Eating shamans heard the disturbance and gathered over rapidly. They only needed a while to tear Goldie A 'bao to pieces.
Goldie A 'bao was covered in cold sweat. His blood seemed to freeze and condense too. He could not help but become afraid. This was a Bone Eating shaman that had eaten an entire group of merchants. Although he had become much stronger now, killing a Bone Eating shaman was definitely not an easy feat.
Li Qingshan stuck his head out of the basket and pressed his hand against the Bone Eating shaman's head …
When the Bone Eating shamans arrived, all that was left on the ground was a withered corpse.
After inspecting it, the Bone Eating shaman priest said, "His life force has been drained dry. That's an extremely strange method. It's no wonder that barbarian from Goldie fort is growing stronger and stronger. It's all because of that baby!"
At this moment, another growl rang out in the distance. Rushing over to take a look, there was another Bone Eating shaman corpse on the ground!
Before long, three Bone Eating shamans had been reduced to withered corpses.
As power surged into his body, Goldie A 'bao's fear turned into rapture. Under Li Qingshan's orders, he moved through the streets and alleyways. His blood boiled and burned. The Bone Eating shamans that had once filled him with fear had now become his prey. All he had to do was wait for the next Bone Eating shaman to appear before him, and he would lunge over.
In the beginning, all he could do was remain in a stalemate, waiting for Li Qingshan to kill them, but now, he directly suppressed them. If it were not for the sake of devouring their life force, he could even directly kill some weaker Bone Eating shamans.
Li Qingshan's senses could completely overwhelm the Bone Eating tribe, grasping their movements extremely clearly. He could even tell who was strong and who was weak. Finding their weak points and taking them down one by one was basically as easy as pie. In the beginning, there was still some risk, but as Goldie A 'bao grew stronger and stronger, the risk became smaller and smaller.
The Bone Eating shaman priest said, "Chief, gather everyone!"
The Bone Eating chieftain was furious. Just how many years had it been since he suffered like this? He let out a strange growl and gathered all the Bone Eating shamans over.
Li Qingshan ordered Goldie A 'bao to stop and maintain his distance from them. If they gathered together, they would not be able to search, but if they separated, they would only be ambushed. The outcome was already set in stone!
However, he let out a gentle sigh. The real game had only just begun!
At this moment, the Bone Eating shaman priest's sunken, hoarse voice drifted over with the night breeze. "Barbarian, you've killed our clansmen. Aren't you afraid of revenge? Hand over the baby, and we'll spare your life! Otherwise, we'll slaughter everyone in Goldie fort. Your parents, brothers, wives, children, and clansmen will all die, and they'll all die in excruciating pain! "
The voice was not loud, but it was extremely clear in the quiet city. Goldie A 'bao's hearing had already become extremely sharp, so his face immediately changed. All of his joy vanished. Although Goldie fort was watched over by the shaman priest, it definitely could not stop the Bone Eating tribe from mobilising in full strength.
Li Qingshan thought, Sure enough, all the bad people in the world are basically the same. They can't deal with you, so they'll use the people around you to threaten you! When Goldie A 'bao embarked on the path of opposing the Bone Eating tribe, this was a problem he would definitely face.
"You don't have to be afraid of him. He's very weak right now. He's not your opponent. Hand him over to us, and you won't have to worry about any revenge. I'll give you ten seconds to consider. If you don't respond, we'll turn around and go to Goldie fort right now. Ten …"
The Bone Eating shaman priest's voice rose and fell, filled with strange temptation and pressure.
"Sir A 'yue … what do we do?"
Goldie A 'bao said with difficulty, but he also understood that if he really had the ability to kill this group of Bone Eating shamans, there would be no need for him to launch a sneak attack at all.
Li Qingshan said calmly, "There's nothing we can do right now. We still don't have the power to face them openly right now, but you better think it through. You've killed their people, so will they really spare you and your clansmen?"
"If it weren't for you, why would I …"
"If it weren't for me, you'd be dead already. It's not like I'm the one who wants to kill your clansmen either!"
Li Qingshan interrupted him and shook his head. He was still a merchant after all! If he were a warrior, he would definitely fight to the end and use threats against threats. His several decades as a merchant had made him even more shrewd than regular barbarians, making him understand how to go with the flow and avoid harm, but it had also made him lose his bravery.
"Sorry, I've misspoken!"
Li Qingshan said, "There's no need to apologise. I understand your difficulties. You've chosen your own path. If you want to sell me out, I won't hate you!"
At this moment, the Bone Eating shaman priest had already reached five.
Four, three, two, one!
"Alright, I'll hand him over to you. You're not allowed to come over, or I'll kill him, and you won't get anything. You must swear in the name of your ancestors that you will never harm me or my clansmen! "
