Chapter 375: Relentless Pursue
“Even Gongye Yuyu said that mountain treasure isn’t here. Wang Cheng, what does this mean?”
“Senior sister, you’re beautiful and kind. It’s just that your brain isn’t the brightest.”
“What do you mean?”
“Senior sister, didn’t you see the herd of beasts that gathered here just now? Why do you think they gathered here?”
“Of course it’s for the mountain treasure. Your question is so strange.”
“Yeah, they’re also here for the mountain treasure. Then why did they leave this place?”
Victor laughed lightly, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.
Being able to suppress the beautiful senior sister in terms of intelligence, Victor still felt a sense of accomplishment.
“This is naturally because someone chased them away and left this place.”
“That’s only one of the reasons. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the beasts that were resisting at the beginning suddenly scattered. Moreover, oddly enough, they escaped in the same direction. Soon after, the interior of the mountain collapsed. May I ask, how could such a coincidence happen?”
“You mean…”
“There’s a high probability that the mountain treasure has already left this place, and the mountain collapsed because it lost the support of the mountain treasure.”
Victor slowly stood up and walked out from the shadows.
“There’s no need for us to hide anymore.”
As he spoke, Victor turned his head to look at Gongye Yuyu, and the latter happened to look in that direction.
At that moment, Victor felt as if he was standing naked in front of Gongye Yuyu. No secrets could be hidden!
This suffocating feeling made Victor very uncomfortable. He quickly turned around and stopped looking at Gongye Yuyu.
“Then what do we do now?”
At the right time, Nalan Lengling raised the question in her heart.
“Let’s go and catch up with the beast tide. Let’s see what this mountain treasure is, to be able to attract so many demonic beasts.”
“Aren’t we waiting for them to come out?”
“Hehe, the number of people who can come out can be counted on one hand. There’s no need to waste time here.”
Victor waved his hand. Then, without waiting for Nalan Lengling’s reply, he turned around and left directly.
Looking at Victor’s retreating figure, Nalan Lengling hesitated for a moment before chasing after him.
At the same time, Gongye Yuyu.
On the White Horse, Gongye Yuyu snorted and revealed a smile.
“Young master, what are you laughing at?”
“I’m starting to think that not all of the people in the Central Plains are idiots. Forget it, leave one person here to wait. If Lei Bao can come out alive, let him return to the Central Plains Sect Alliance. The rest of you, follow me and leave.”
Gongye Yuyu turned his horse around and left. No one questioned him. Even when Gongye Yuyu made such a move, no one dared to question him.
“Leaving without succeeding doesn’t seem like Gongye Yuyu’s style. Let’s follow him and take a look.”
Although Huang Nanshuang did not have Gongye Yuyu’s and Victor’s sharp instincts, she knew how to be flexible. Staying here and waiting quietly was not a solution. She followed Gongye Yuyu’s example and left with a few people.
Of course, there were still some wandering cultivators who did not understand Gongye Yuyu’s method. They stayed here and waited for the birth of the mountain treasure.
At this moment, Victor and Nalan Lengling continued into the Hundred Thousand Mountain. The two of them could clearly feel that the dark energy around them was getting heavier. There was no longer the rustling sound of insects in their ears. Instead, it was replaced by… the deafening roars of beasts that sounded from time to time.
“Senior sister, what do you think this mountain treasure is exactly?”
“It’s hard to say. It’s probably a treasure?”
“It might be a creature. Otherwise, why would it attract the attention of the demon beasts?”
“Wang Cheng, I still think that with our strength, it’s too dangerous to catch up.”
“Senior sister, wealth and honor come from danger. Moreover, you know what kind of people the other people in the sect are. If we gather with them, the situation will only become tenser. To put it bluntly, they won’t be like senior sister and unconditionally trust a little foundation establishment cultivator like me.”
“That being said… but…”
“Senior sister, do you not trust me?”
Victor suddenly stopped in his tracks. Nalan Lengling, who did not have time to dodge, immediately threw herself into Victor’s arms.
“I… I’m sorry…”
Since she was young, Nalan Lengling had never even been this intimate with her father. This made Nalan Lengling lose her cool. She hurriedly pushed Victor away, her face burning red.
Looking at Nalan Lengling’s reaction, Victor felt a little regretful, and the light in his eyes dimmed.
“It’s okay. In short, we only have this one chance. If we don’t take advantage of it, this mountain treasure might really end up being unrelated to us.”
With that, Victor ignored Nalan Lengling’s reaction and left.
Recalling the scene just now, Nalan Lengling bit her red lips with her teeth.
Nalan Lengling did not mean to push Victor away, but she was a little flustered at that time. This made Nalan Lengling have the urge to explain, but she did not know how to word it, so she could only follow behind Victor silently.
Nalan Lengling was not used to this. This kind of feeling was odd. Ever since she met Victor, it had only been a few days, but everything seemed to be changing.
If it were any other time, Nalan Lengling would have killed Victor without hesitation. However, now, she could not do it.
“What happened to me…”
Nalan Lengling patted her cheek, trying to wake herself up. However, her mind was filled with the image of herself crashing into Victor’s arms.
Nalan Lengling raised her head and looked at the figure not far away. After thinking for a long time, she said, “Wang Cheng, the Fire Sect is weak. We can’t fight head-on with the Central Plains Sect Alliance.”
“Don’t worry, I know.”
“No, what I mean is, if anything happens, we should leave immediately.”
“I know, senior sister. In your eyes, am I a brainless boor?”
“No, of course not. You’re very smart.”
“Then that’s it. Senior sister, don’t worry. I might run much faster than you when I’m in danger. At that time, I’ll have to trouble you to cover for me.”
As he spoke, Victor turned around and smiled.
Not long after, the two of them finally caught up with the fleeing herd of beasts. The entire herd seemed to be guided by something as they walked deeper into the Hundred Thousand Mountain.
Following the herd of beasts, Victor lowered his voice and said, “Looks like we’ve found it.”
“You mean the mountain treasure?”
“It’s hard to say. It might be, or it might not be. We’ll have to see what the mountain treasure is.”
Although it was just a guess, Victor seemed to have a premonition that this mountain treasure was the key to improving his strength!
He had experienced extreme heat and coldness. Victor still had no clue about the following thunderstorm. But now, he seemed to have found an opportunity.
“Senior sister, you stay here, I’ll sneak up and take a look.”
“No, it’s too dangerous! Once you’re discovered, you’ll have no way out!”
