Chapter 909: Treasure

Within the Sixty Thousand Mountains.

Qi Ziting held his crutches in his hands and sat on a protruding boulder on the mountainside with a somber face, staring at the distant land engulfed in darkness.

“Commander! The meat is ready!” An Earth Wheel expert wearing an animal hide came and served a six-meter long beast tail that was as thick as a human thigh.

This was Qi Ziting’s favorite, but he simply received it silently and sneered, “Those miscellaneous people are taking too long.”

“Are you referring to those miscellaneous people from the north?” the man asked with a grin.

“Scram! I can call them miscellaneous people, but you can’t. If they are miscellaneous people, what are you?” Qi Ziting suddenly became furious and scolded his subordinate harshly before continuing, “The men have already been gone for half a day and still haven’t brought those miscellaneous people back. It looks like they haven’t been drilled enough!”

The other man, whose entire face had been sprayed with saliva, didn’t care at all. The aboriginals believed that the strongest thrived. Although Qi Ziting didn’t pay much attention to the outside world, in many people’s hearts, he was still the famous Protector General of the Northeast, the warrior that everyone feared.

If he still had his legs, he would probably be among the top experts now.

He should probably be among the top five.

After all, Qi Ziting was already ranked thirteenth on the list of experts back then.

If he were to unleash his power, those who were ranked seventh and lower probably wouldn’t be able to beat him.

After waiting for two more hours, he threw the tail bones aside. He sensed that the men that he dispatched had returned.

Qi Ziting held his crutches and straightened his body. Although his expression was calm, there was a kind of fierceness within. This fierceness was a remnant of the days when he had killed people as if he was cutting grass.

The people approached very quickly. He saw a group of people riding various mounts down the mountain as well as figures that followed them from the darkness into the light.

With the exception of one person, Qi Ziting had probably heard of the others a long time ago.

The group felt the same way about Qi Ziting as well.

Ma Hongyu and the others looked up and saw a big man standing on the mountainside with crutches.

He had the aura of a lurking beast that was ready to pounce on someone at any time. This made them confirm his identity immediately.

“Commander, the people are here.”

“Step down!” Qi Ziting waved his hand and had his eyes fixed on the incoming people.

He grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth and a bloody smell.

“Although I haven’t seen you before, I know you! I never thought that there would be a day when I stand alongside you!”

“Same for us!” Ma Hongyu replied faintly.

“Rest assured, now that you and my sister have an agreement, I won’t bother you. Following this, just do as I say and don’t bother me unnecessarily.” Qi Ziting grinned.

As soon as he made this remark, many of the experts frowned immediately.

Did he mean that he wanted to control all of them?

“We shall follow your lead then, Commander Qi,” Lin Dong replied while glancing at the crowd. At this time, all of them were new to this place and didn’t understand anything about it. There was no harm in listening to Qi Ziting.

If he really were to say something that was hard for everyone to accept or attempted to boss them around with his status, it wouldn’t be too late for everyone to also turn hostile.

At present, the first thing everyone needed to do was to understand the situation here. No one knew it better than Qi Ziting and his people.

The glance from Lin Dong was complex, yet everyone could read it with a brief look. Although these top experts rarely interacted with each other, they really had a tacit understanding when they met. It was just like how they stood up together against Qi Zixiao back then.

Besides, everyone had been on the same journey for five months.

Qi Ziting grinned, but kept silent.

He then turned and walked toward the back while saying, “In that case, find a place to rest first. I’ll have someone prepare your food each day.”

Seeing him leave, everyone remained silent while looking for a place to rest.

They initially thought of asking Qi Ziting about the foreign races the next day, but didn’t expect him to send someone to provide them with this information the next morning.

Apart from him, there were 11 other Cardinal Heaven level aboriginals who had been staying in the Sixty Thousand Mountains.

These people were all dressed in animal hides. All of them looked fierce and evil and had either tattoos on their bodies or were wearing bone necklaces.

They felt quite curious as they looked at the many experts who had arrived. These aboriginals had been in the depths of the mountains for a long time and had very little contact with the outside world. As such, they didn’t have much hatred for these people. They got even more curious after the two sides had confirmed their cooperation.

“What we have discovered so far is a humanoid race with snake tails. I think they are called the Serpent race. They reside on an island in the middle of a lake outside the five mountains. They are very sharp, and we will definitely be discovered if we get close,” Qi Ziting explained.

He knew the objective of these people. Although he gave everyone an initial show of power the day before, he remained prudent when it came to important things.

However, he left out some facts when he made this introduction. Apart from easily being discovered, another reason why the aboriginals didn’t approach them was because many of the aboriginals didn’t know how to swim.

They would definitely be at a big disadvantage if they were to encounter those foreign races there.

“What are you going to do with them?” Xu Gongsou asked.

Full of murderous intent, Qi Ziting sneered and replied, “How is this a question? In any case, they are all enemies, so of course, we must kill them to avoid giving away our position. We must also leave a few alive to see if we can get any information out of them.”

Although many experts felt that something was wrong, they continued to keep quiet.

After all, according to Ren Baqian, all of these foreign races were enemies.

If they were to attack these foreign races and some were allowed to escape, then there would probably be major trouble in the future.

Since this involved the entire human race, no risks could be taken.

“We want to take a look at the situation first so that we can be sure about it,” Lin Dong said after pondering for a bit.

Although he was a cult leader, he was much better at dealing with people than the others.

Even Qi Ziting, who was prejudiced toward them, couldn’t pick out any mistakes in his words.

Very quickly, he arranged for someone to take the experts there.

Although it seemed very far in the distance, to these experts, the five mountains were only half a day away.

After passing the fifth mountain, everyone saw an endless azure lake ahead with a large island sitting in the middle.

“Be careful. Don’t get caught by them.” Leading the pack was an aboriginal expert with a chain of cow horns on his nose. The tone of his speech was strange and the pronunciation wasn’t very accurate.

“Let me give you this!” He pulled out a telescope from his breast pocket and smiled. “Do you know how to use this?”

“What is that?” Nobody had seen anything like this before.

Seeing their reactions, the aboriginal smiled and explained, “You can see a thousand miles away with this thing. You can use it to see the situation on the island from here! Be careful, this is my treasure—don’t break it!”

Immediately, everyone felt unpleasant. When did it become their turn to be despised by the barbarians?

Lin Dong carefully took it and could really see the situation a thousand miles away. It was indeed an investigative treasure.

Everyone suddenly valued this telescope a hundred times more.
