I’m A Wasteland Giant-Chapter 299 - 298: The Late Return of Tao Xuanzhu!
Chapter 299: Chapter 298: The Late Return of Tao Xuanzhu!
Translator: 549690339
A mere divine servant, somehow knew that a true god was planning to rebel.
When Du Gang first learned of this, he thought it was absurd.
However, based on his way of judging people, this red-capped divine servant didn’t seem to be lying, otherwise, he was making light of his own life.
Still, he asked, “Why didn’t you inform the Main God of this news?”
“Sir, I have already informed the ‘Fire’ Main God…”
Hearing this, Du Gang fell into thought.
According to this divine servant, the Seven Gods Palace was not entirely united.
Certain true gods below were plotting to commit godslaughter.
The reason why all was quiet was because they were waiting for an opportunity.
And now, the appearance of these outsiders was like a beacon, an alternative signal.
If… they were to join forces with these true gods and eliminate their four Main Gods, wouldn’t it be much easier for them to complete their task?
After his consciousness left his inner world, Du Gang murmured, “So, in addition to looking for the Child of Destiny, can I also try to find this guy named Cang Yu?”
Soon, he shook his head, “That’s not the most important thing, first find the Child of Destiny. If I can’t find him, I could consider joining forces with this Cang Yu…”
If the four powerful Main Gods didn’t interfere, it would be incredibly easy for them to complete their task.
Of course, this is a contingency plan in case they can’t find the Child of Destiny.
“What are you thinking?”
As Du Gang was contemplating, a clear voice sounded.
He turned his head and saw Kou Yingwu striding over.
“You’re back so soon?”
Kou Yingwu shrugged his shoulders and laughed, “These guys…they seemed to look down upon me. A man and a woman came at first, both at the Nine Tribulation Divine Spirit level, but they left before the fight even started…”
“After those two left, none of the remaining rabble were a match for me. Those I could capture, I captured, those I couldn’t, I killed straight away!”
So that’s how it was!
Du Gang nodded and asked, “What information did you get from those you captured?”
Kou Yingwu declared cheerfully, “Of course. Who do you think I am, Kou Yingwu, the future Iron Cavalry of the Kou Family…”
Du Gang rolled his eyes, abruptly interrupting, “Get to the point, time is short!”
Kou Yingwu grinned sheepishly and quickly said, “Basically, I’ve tortured the information of their numbers, the names of every member of the Seven Gods Hall who’s hunting us, and so on…”
“And then?”
“And then? That’s it!”
Kou Yingwu was obliviously puzzled, “Isn’t that enough?”
Du Gang’s mouth twitched slightly. He already knew all these things from analyzing data and secretly gathering information from various places over the past few days.
This guy probably didn’t know what direction to question in!
After thinking for a moment, he turned back and asked, “You said earlier that two Nine Tribulation Divine Spirits left. Were they both red-haired?”
“Red hair?!”
Kou Yingwu blinked and tilted his head up, starting to recall.
After a few seconds, he licked his lips and nodded, “One of them, the woman, had red hair, but the man’s hair wasn’t red…”
After a pause, he recalled in detail and confirmed, “Yes, the man didn’t have red hair, but silver hair instead!”
Silver hair?
Du Gang narrowed his eyes. Silver hair was a distinct feature in the Hall of Gods.
People of the Cang character series generally had this hair color.
Of the Cang character series who reached the Nine Tribulation Divine Spirit level, there were only two, one of whom was the Cang Yu they had discussed before.
So, it was Cang Yu and Fire Thorn Lady?
There was only one woman in the Fire character series, the Fire Thorn Lady. Without a doubt, it was her.
How did she get involved with Cang Yu?
Du Gang had just finished plotting out the relationships within the Seven Gods Palace and knew that the Fire Thorn Lady had an unusual relationship with the Fire Main God.
A spy strategy?
A beauty scheme?
His first reaction was just that, and he couldn’t help but laugh.
Their arrival must also have appeared as an opportunity to Cang Yu. He must have taken some action, which in turn prompted the Fire faction to deploy the Fire Thorn Lady.
She probably doesn’t know that her fellow practitioner is still alive, does she?!
“What are you laughing at?”
Kou Yingwu looked at Du Gang in confusion, very puzzled.
Did he tell a funny joke?
Or was there something dirty on his face?
Thinking this, he pulled out a mirror and examined his face in it.
“There’s nothing wrong, I’m a handsome guy!”
Du Gang quickly recovered, didn’t explain anything, not because he deliberately concealed it, but because it was too tedious to explain these things to Kou Yingwu. With his intelligence, he might not understand, and it would also waste time.
He coughed, didn’t hesitate, and said directly, “Where’s your data? Show it to me!”
Soon, Du Gang had a look at Kou Yingwu’s data.
“How’s it?”
Although Kou Yingwu had listened before to Du Gang explaining the principles of this data, he didn’t fully understand, he just felt it was amazing. Therefore, he could only rely on Du Gang to explain.
The corner of Du Gang’s mouth slowly curved into a smile, and he nodded, “If I’m not mistaken, the data you brought back is different than the others’!”
Different, implying a hit!

Kou Yingwu was immediately thrilled and excited, “You mean, the Child of Destiny has been found?”
Du Gang laughed heartily, quickly took out a map, pointed at the gathering place near the northern part of the triangle, and marked it with a cross.
With absolute confidence, he stated, “It’s here!”
“Excellent!”
Seeing this, Kou Yingwu was overjoyed, rubbing his hands together eagerly, as if ready to rush off to slay the Child of Destiny in the next second.
Du Gang was also feeling the same way, and took a sigh of relief in his heart.
Coming to the mission world for the first time, and knowing that extermination also included slaying other gods, he felt tremendous pressure.
Now seeing the dawn of task completion, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Moreover, this time, if they could return, he would ask the people in the Ancient City, and question Xiang Xinjian, why he had been lied to.
This so-called Heavenly Court admission ticket was given to him by the Ancient City!
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, if the Ancient City indeed betrayed him, the other two deities would also have to be abandoned…
Kou Yingwu was still indulging in his joy when he suddenly felt a chill in the surrounding air. He turned his head and saw an ominous murderous look in Du Gang’s eyes, more exaggerated than any top-level assassin he had ever seen.
This guy…
At this moment, he found it difficult to breathe, feeling as if the surrounding air had solidified.
This killing intent…
He was somewhat shocked, it was a state of mind bent on slaughter, as if the whole world had wronged him and must bear his vengeance.
“Du Gang?!”
A deep voice rang out.
Just as quickly, the terrifying atmosphere that had taken over the entire valley vanished.
And Du Gang, too, had resumed his usual demeanor. He looked towards the source of the voice, smiling, “Jia Xiangming, you’re back, is the data correct?”
Seeing this normal smile, Jia Xiangming wondered if he had just had some sort of illusion. He glanced at Kou Yingwu subconsciously and saw the same astonished expression in his eyes. He instantly realized he hadn’t been mistaken!
The frightening intent to kill he had just felt was real!
This Du Gang…
He had already upgraded Du Gang’s danger level in his heart, but now it seemed that it still wasn’t enough!
This was a very terrifying and dangerous individual!
Moreover, he not only carried some hidden terror within him but also possessed near-demon-like intelligence.
Putting other aspects aside, just the string of methods he employed to find the Son of Destiny could not be thought up by simple individuals.
Although Jia Xiangming had many thoughts in his heart, his face didn’t reveal the slightest ripple. He also smiled, nodded and replied, “The data is fine, I have brought everything back. Should I show it to you now?”
As he spoke, a drop of cold sweat emerged at his neck and his muscles tensed as if ready to involuntarily react at any moment.
In reality, he knew Du Gang had no malicious intent towards him. However, he couldn’t control his fear. It was as though he was standing before a predator at the top of the food chain. Just being there was enough to generate palpable fear.
Du Gang didn’t notice these details and, smiling, took the data. He quickly scanned it and nodded in satisfaction, “No issues!”
“Your data is different from Kou Yingwu’s, it looks like we have truly found the Son of Destiny!”
The Son of Destiny has been found?
Jia Xiangming was taken aback at first, then quickly realized what Du Gang meant. Temporarily forgetting his fear, he asked excitedly, “You mean, the Son of Destiny has been found?”
“That’s correct!”
Du Gang nodded with a smile, “Based on my observation of the previous data, the location of the Son of Destiny this time is the gathering place in the north within the triangle!”
Jia Xiangming furrowed his brow, “Hold on, didn’t you say before that we need at least three data points to ascertain a direction?”
“You said two points establish a straight line and an additional point determines the position…”
Du Gang laughed, “That’s correct. However, the data provided by Kou Yingwu is almost consistent with the direction the Son of Destiny previously pointed to. This means the location he’s at is near the Son of Destiny…”
“I see!”
Jia Xiangming nodded in understanding while taking an unfurtive step backward.
Having been unnerved by that sinister intent once, he needed some time to adjust to Du Gang’s performance. Therefore, it was better to maintain distance in order to minimize any excessive reactions.
“I am finally back!”
Just then, a quivering voice came from afar.
The trio turned their heads and saw Lan Zhize, looking like a beggar with tattered clothes, walking over with a distressed expression on his face.
Upon seeing his appearance, Kou Yingwu curiously asked, “Don’t tell me that you…”
“Ah!!!”
Lan Zhize yelled out, tears brimming in his eyes, he complained, “That’s right, I ran into four Main Gods again!”
“They were too bullying, they broke the rules! I suggested a one-on-one match and they agreed. But in the end, they still ganged up on me, saying something about taking me on one-on-one with four of them…”
Poor child!
The trio shared a look before bursting into laughter.
In this tense and urgent mission-filled world, having such a character did ease some of their stress.
At the same time, the three men also had a clear understanding of Lan Zhize’s strength.
A six-stage divine spirit like him could actually withstand the attack of four nine-stage divine spirits.
Moreover, after obtaining the data he needed, he managed to successfully escape.
What was even more unbelievable was that he had done this twice!
Soon, while Lan Zhize was frantically venting, Du Gang finished examining the data he had brought back.
“How is it?”
Although they had already heard Du Gang’s experience, Kou Yingwu and Jia Xiangming were still watching him nervously.
Du Gang laughed and nodded, “No problem, his data is roughly similar to Jia Xiangming’s.”
“Huh?”
Lan Zhize looked confused, “What do you mean, similar?”
He turned to look at Jia Xiangming, “Did you also meet four Main Gods?”
Jia Xiangming shrugged. If he had come across four Main Gods, he probably wouldn’t even be able to collect data.
“No, the ones I met were ordinary fellows…”
“What Du Gang meant by similar data probably refers to other aspects, indicating the data representing the position of the Son of Destiny…”
Lan Zhize was very clever, he quickly understood the key point. Looking at Kou Yingwu in astonishment, he inquired, “Captain, on your side…”
Kou Yingwu suddenly proudly nodded, “Yes, we found the Son of Destiny, he’s on my side!”
“That’s great!”
Lan Zhize immediately cheered.
At this moment, however, Du Gang frowned, “Wait, where’s Tao Xuanzhu?”
“Previously, she was always either the first or second to return, why hasn’t she come back this time?”
Even Lan Zhize, who had faced four Main Gods, was back, yet there was no sight of Tao Xuanzhu.
The other three also reacted, their brows furrowing.
“Could she have encountered trouble?”
“That’s not right, she’s not weak, and she’s a seven-stage divine spirit who can fly. Logically, there should be no problem with her being the first to return…”
“What do we do now?” ƒrēenovelkiss.com
Instinctively, the three of them turned their gazes towards Du Gang. In their eyes, Du Gang had already become the brain of the team.
Du Gang glanced at the time, pondered for two seconds, and then spoke, “Wait for another five minutes. If she still doesn’t show up, we will have to go in her direction and search for her…”
Thus, everyone began to wait quietly, full of doubts. They frequently looked south, hoping to see Tao Xuanzhu’s figure.
However, to their disappointment, five minutes passed and Tao Xuanzhu was still nowhere to be seen. Not even a single flying sword was in sight.
“She really has encountered trouble!”
Du Gang took a deep breath. He had run through all the possibilities in his mind just now and had made up his mind.
“Let’s head south to find Tao Xuanzhu!”
Seeing the worried expressions of the others, he spoke seriously, “We are a team. Even though we are temporary, until we disband, we remain a team. Do we just abandon a team member?”
The others were only concerned and hadn’t suggested not going. Du Gang just led the way and the others quickly agreed.
Du Gang nodded, “Good. In that case, let’s head south to find Tao Xuanzhu. However, rest assured, if we encounter anything that endangers our lives, we can each make our escape. At that point, there would be no team…”
