Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

The sky was turning faintly white at the horizon.

The three of them sat on a rock in the wilderness.

Just now, they had been on a ride of speed and passion on the wolf's back.

They were approaching the outskirts of the Four Seas Camp.

The woman had relented.

She proposed a collaboration with Tang Wen and his companion.

Tang Wen: "Give me a reason."

The childlike loli had been pondering for a long time: "You come from outside Gushan City, while I am an elder of the Thief Sect, a local force in Gushan City. Cooperation between us will be mutually beneficial. If I can't return, you'll gain another enemy. A hidden enemy."

Tang Wen and General Zhao exchanged a glance.

The latter signaled with his eyes, letting Tang Wen make the decision himself.

"Tell me about the Thief Sect."

"The Thief Sect was originally a major power in Gushan City, but later had conflicts with the Huang family, which led to its gradual decline. I can recommend you two to join the Thief Sect."

Saying that, the childlike loli turned to Tang Wen: "You practice the Black Night Divine Fist, which has multiple profound mysteries.

For example, [Ghostly Shadows], and [Instant Step].

[Ghostly Shadows] can reduce damage.

[Instant Step] allows you to instantly move a certain distance.

These two mysteries are only available to our Thief Sect; outsiders don't have them."

Tang Wen was tempted.

Strength is the foundation of everything.

"How come you don't use such powerful abilities?"

Opening old wounds.

The female Transcendent's face flushed, and she glared at him hatefully, revealing two rows of small white teeth, wanting to bite him.

Tang Wen met her gaze.

She had no choice but to tell the truth:

"I haven't learned them! I doubt you will either!"

"Has anyone ever learned them?"

"Nonsense! A dozen experts from the previous generation of the Huang family fell to surprise attacks using Instant Step."

Tang Wen nodded: "Not enough. Cooperating with your Thief Sect is equivalent to offending the Huang family, and we will inevitably become enemies with the Huang family in the future."

"I also know many secrets of Gushan City, such as, the underground."

"The underground what?"

"Promise me, and I'll tell you, it concerns the safety of the entire city, even everyone in the entire southwestern region."

Hearing her mysterious words, Tang Wen wanted to say something sarcastic, but suddenly thought of something and probed:

"Does the underground secret have something to do with those missing Beast Tamers?"

The woman was surprised: "Are you also investigating this matter?"

Investigating?

He shook his head:

"Investigation is too strong a word. Since you are locals, your information should be well-informed?"

After speaking, Tang Wen exchanged glances with General Zhao.

They both thought of using the Thief Sect people to investigate the Bai family's affairs.

"So-so."

Tang Wen continued to stare at the woman, wanting to squeeze out more benefits.

The woman gritted her teeth: "There's one last thing, if it's not enough, forget it! You can just sell me!"

Tang Wen smiled: "Look at you, so impatient. Our cooperation is a win-win. Not only can you save your life and gain freedom, but you can also immediately get our help. Look, in front of you, including the wolf, there are three Transcendents."

Hearing this, the Sand Wolf King lazily looked over.

The woman sighed and reluctantly spat out four words:

"Marrow-Protecting Elixir."

After speaking, she closed her eyes, as if giving up resistance.

Tang Wen and the other's expressions didn't change, but they were extremely pleasantly surprised inside.

The Flame Camp had at least ten peak Martial Masters, and they were very short of marrow-protecting elixir.

When Miss Bai asked Tang Wen to come to Gushan City, the price she offered Zhou Bing to agree was a bottle of marrow-protecting elixir.

It could help Zhou Bing smoothly cross the huge threshold from Martial Master to Transcendent.

"How many bottles?"

Tang Wen asked calmly.

"How many bottles?" The woman's face showed mockery.

"Okay! It seems there's only one bottle."

"Heh! I'm not talking about a few bottles, but a recipe."

Tang Wen was stunned.

Immediately, even his breathing became rapid.

"The recipe for the marrow-protecting elixir? Are you sure?!"

General Zhao couldn't help but interject.

"Hehe." The woman raised her small head, looking at them proudly.

Finally, she had stunned them!

It was truly a great gift!

Tang Wen adjusted his breathing and gently helped the childlike loli up from the ground.

At the same time, he relaxed his mental suppression, letting her lean against the rock to sit.

He smiled, extending his hand with goodwill: "Let me formally introduce myself, my name is Tang Wen. What's your name, miss?"

"Li Zi."

"A good name."

"What's good about it?" Li Zi was still annoyed.

Tang Wen smiled: "It's easy to hear, easy to remember. Maybe it's even tasty."

"Tch!"

The recipe for the marrow-protecting elixir.

He had to get it no matter what!

However, he couldn't completely trust her yet.

Tang Wen thought for a while and said, "I want to get the marrow-protecting elixir recipe first."

Li Zi looked at him: "What's in it for me?"

Tang Wen said: "If I'm not mistaken, there probably aren't many experts left in your Thief Sect, right?

Where do your people practice?

How do they make a living?

If there are children, family members, are they safe in Gushan City?"

Each question pointed directly to the softest part of Li Zi's heart.

The childlike loli's eyes dimmed.

She knew that she had said too much earlier and revealed her hand.

"Promise to help me do something, and I'll immediately give you the marrow-protecting elixir recipe."

"Tell me."

"Kill someone! Kill a Transcendent."

"A member of the Huang family?"

"Yes. Also, a traitor to the Thief Sect. His betrayal caused us heavy losses."

"Okay! But we need to plan carefully."

Tang Wen agreed readily.

"I hope you keep your word!"

After speaking, Li Zi recited a series of medicinal herbs, followed by the method of preparation, heat, temperature...

Tang Wen and General Zhao quickly memorized them.

After memorizing them, they repeated them several times.

"We will verify the authenticity of the recipe as soon as possible. As long as it's real, we'll return your freedom."

But Li Zi shook her head: "It takes at least one or two months to refine the medicine once. That's too long. I'll tell you how to use this [Night Walker's Garment], and you release me as soon as possible."

Tang Wen's eyes narrowed slightly:

If his guess wasn't too far off.

This woman probably had many people to take care of.

In addition, after attacking earlier, she once thought she had controlled him, but didn't reveal any killing intent.

Tang Wen decided to trust her this time.

He nodded: "Okay, I promise."

Li Zi didn't hesitate and said directly: "This Night Walker's Garment is also called the [Moon Walker's Garment]. You need to spread it out flat, head facing the North Star, on a moonlit night, and it will attract moonlight. But be aware that it will be very conspicuous when it attracts moonlight, and you need to use your darkness ability to cover it up."

"This is a magical item?" General Zhao saw it for the first time.

Li Zi looked at him, and her heart sank: "I've said everything I need to say, what about you? Who exactly are you, and what did you come to Gushan City for?"

Although the Tang Wen and the wolf in front of her were all Transcendents.

But how come this General Zhao had never even seen a magical item.

They wouldn't be from some remote, mountain village, right?

"Uh," Tang Wen looked at General Zhao: "We come from a camp, and we came to Gushan City to find someone."

Li Zi's big eyes showed dissatisfaction: "And then? You're making it too simple."

Tang Wen coughed: "Our camp has existed for a hundred years, isolated from the world. We are determined to create a fair and equal living environment."

General Zhao looked down at the sand.

Does our Flame Camp have this idea?

This kid, he's only been out for a short time, and he has a set of bluffing statements.

Looking at Li Zi again, she was even more suspicious.

Looking like, if you're going to lie, at least put some effort into it.

Ask the Transcendent beast next to you, is it willing to eat grass?

Tang Wen looked into her eyes and said in a deep voice: "Our camp has no slaves, in our camp, even the king cannot execute others at will. In our camp, farmers only need to hand over 70% of their grain. We teach literacy for free, and becoming a guard allows you to practice martial arts."

"This? Really?"

Li Zi was even more afraid to believe it. Could such a camp survive?

General Zhao said: "If you don't believe me, I can take you to see it."

Li Zi hesitated.

Tang Wen said: "Now, tell me what's going on under Gushan City!"
