Deep within the nature reserve, the Gaosuo tribe resided.
“The Chief and the High Priest… The matter is confirmed now, outsiders are invading, murdering our kinsfolk!”
This tribe is significantly large, with a total population of five thousand, it dominates over all other Gaosuo tribes in the nature reserve.
“The Outsiders again!”
The robust Chief roared in anger: “Where are our warriors? Follow me and let’s decapitate the intruders! Their skins will be our carpets, their heads will be our trophies!”
“Zagu! You are our sole remaining mighty warrior, should you exactly diminish in an outsiders’ invasion? Have the lessons of history been forgotten?”
At this moment, the High Priest draped in a feathered beast’s cloak, unfathomably aged, looking like a withering skeleton whose eyes still had a glimmer of faint light, spoke: “The number of outsiders is too large…
haphazardly engaging them in combat is not a prudent choice.”
“We are the Gaosuo! Our ancestors lived on this land! Our blood carries valor!”
Chief Zagu earnestly justified.
“But now… all we do is for survival!”
The High Priest coughed and spoke in a slow tone: “To borrow strength from other forces is not dishonorable, have the warriors prepare the offerings, I am ready to unseal that entity!”
“High Priest!”
Zagu trembled, “That… That’s a nightmare that’s been haunting our land, a bloodthirsty evil spirit… Do you remember the price we paid to seal it away?”
“Don’t worry, Chief… We can exploit it!”
A trace of bloodthirstiness appeared on the aged face of the High Priest: “We will not submit to the invaders… nor let off any enemy who stained themselves with the blood of our tribesmen… it will take revenge against our enemies in
our stead.”
“If you can control it…”
The Chief changed his expression a bit and bent his body halfway while speaking.
“It’s very good… Order the younglings to collect offerings, it is best if the outsiders are included amongst them!”
The High Priest looked towards a gorge outside the tribal settlement.
In it, an important asset of the tribe was sealed… a deathless, undying Evil Spirit!
Initially in order to seal it, enormous quantities of Gaosuo warriors’ and wizards’ blood were shed.
But now, it has abruptly become the guardian of the Gaosuo. At least, it indeed was a force that could be exploited!
“You are… a Transcendent?”
Outside the gorge, Geli looked at Su Lu as she suddenly questioned. Su Lu, who was examining the situation in the gorge, was stunned for a moment: “Yes.”
Getting ready to tenaciously negotiate, he paid no heed to this question, given that his identity would inevitably be revealed.
“Then why have you come to the reserve? Did you already know about Gered’s plan?” Geli continued questioning.
“If I knew, I would not just hire you.”
Su Lu shrugged his shoulders, “I am just interested in the transcendent power that the Gaosuo possess, and wanted to make some deals with them… but now, you have seen it all.”
“Doing business with the Gaosuo?
Geli disdainfully glared at Su Lu, “I think you are dreaming, they will kill any
Roman who enters their sight! And chop off their heads as trophies of war!” “Maybe… but my persuasive abilities are very strong!”
Su Lu chuckled, then suddenly pushed down Geli’s head, “Someone is coming out!”
“Hm?”
Geli, lying in ambush, looked over and saw a team moving out of the gorge at a slow pace.
About ten bandits, surrounded by female prisoners tethered together with ropes, children seemed to be amongst them.
“Damn Gered’s band of bandits, they actually planned to sell slaves!”
Geli gritted her teeth.
Because of the inherent hostility between the races, even if they were sold in the black market, the fate of these Gaosuo wouldn’t be much better.
The most probable outcome was to cater to some rich and perverse tycoons.
Geli, a bounty hunter who occasionally had contact with the dark world, was very clear about this.
“You want to save them?”
She eagerly pulled out her gun, “Count me in!”
“Wait!”
Su Lu didn’t say much, he bent down and his soul went off instantly, entering the second layer of the mental realm!
With the vision of the mental realm, he observed his surroundings, seeing only a sea of subconsciousness, and the light group moving not far away.
Among them, there was a giant island, just by the volume of it, Su Lu didn’t have any plans to investigate it.
“A third-rank occupational person is hiding within, a trap?!”
Su Lu chuckled and then returned to his body.
This method of investigation—since it started from the second layer of the mental realm—couldn’t be discovered by others, not to mention being concealed and defended.
Just by relying on this alone, he held quite a few advantages.
“Be careful!”
“Besides a leading transcendent among them, they are also hiding a third-rank occupational person. It should be Iron Fist Rus!” Su Lu assured confidently.
“You are… the side of Professionals that can cast spells?”
Geli was startled.
To her surprise, she saw Su Lu just lower his head and his gaze slightly changed for a few seconds, and he had detected the hidden strength on the opposite side, and she couldn’t help but be very curious.
She reckoned her eyesight was not bad, but while observing that team, she didn’t notice Rus’s trace at all. Otherwise, she would not think of striking a hard bargain there. “You can consider it so!”
Su Lu didn’t explain.
“Rus, huh? He is worth five hundred Golden Dragons on the bounty list! He is a cash cow!” Geli licked her lips, “What rank of Professional are you?”
“Second-rank! ”
Su Lu answered honestly, seeing the disappointed face of Geli, he added: “But that doesn’t mean it’s hopeless!”
Under normal situations, a first-rank and a second-rank professional could definitely not be a match for a third-rank professional.
The transcendent powers reached a very deep point in a field by the time one reaches the third rank, known as the ‘Expert’, it’s gradually transcending mundanity.
Yet Su Lu was more than a simple second-rank, he was a part-timer! He knew the opponent’s ambush and professional information, and held an advantage, thus a fight might not be in vain!
“What’s your plan?” Geli was somewhat stirred up, ‘We can split the bounty!”
“Can you stall Rus?”
Su Lu countered.
Geli immediately had a hint of blushing, “Even though I’m only first-rank, but the rest of the bandits can be left to me!”
She is a well-known bounty hunter in this area, a Transcendent Professional!
Experienced in countless battles, facing ten ordinary bandits was absolutely no problem for her!
Even though Su Lu was ahead of her in professional rank, her expertise shouldn’t be underestimated!
“That won’t be necessary, I indeed have a plan!”
Su Lu nonchalantly said, “I have just observed, amongst this team of bandits, apart from Iron Fist Rus, there is only a first-rank transcendent, the remaining are all normal people. We can follow them, act in the night, I am confident of eliminating those ordinary bandits, and even that first-rank transcendent without alerting anyone else!”
‘What?”
Geli was startled, she couldn’t believe that Su Lu was so confident..
