Chapter 1283 - 1278: Hong Zhongkai in Dire Straits
This elephant, as tall as a mountain, actually greeted me?
Xinmu’s heart was truly trembling violently.
And when he remembered that the Elephant King’s actions followed Qin Hao’s command, his heart surged even more.
Why can Qin Hao command this giant elephant?
Is it just because he’s in its nostrils?
This is way too sci-fi!
"Alright, elephant cub, now take Brother Monkey and Little Mumu back to the valley."
Qin Hao once again issued a command to the Elephant King.
Not wanting to endure torment, the Elephant King had no choice but to completely submit, wrapping the Monkey King and Xinmu in its trunk and heading towards the valley.
The passage at the valley entrance was not narrow, but not wide either; the Elephant King’s massive body could barely fit through.
When the Elephant King carried the three into the valley, the monkey troops were so startled they scattered in all directions, dodging and hiding everywhere.
It wasn’t until the Monkey King came forward that the situation calmed down.
Qin Hao looked at this scene, feeling very pleased, and said to the Elephant King, "Elephant cub, do you like this peaceful valley?"
"Moo!"
The Elephant King let out a cry, indicating affirmation.
"That’s good; from now on, you shall be the Valley Guardian Beast," Qin Hao said with great satisfaction.
Moo? You want me to be a guard dog for these thieving monkeys?
The Elephant King was almost about to explode with rage, but under Qin Hao’s tyranny, he could only "moo" in agreement.
...
Two days had passed.
During these two days, Hong Zhongkai experienced the hardships of being alone.
Without subordinates, without support, he was just a lone wolf.
However, on the bright side, due to the elephant cub’s previous chase, many team forces suffered losses.
Whether it’s the military or the Ancient Martial Families, their numbers have been reduced.
Currently, the forest was in a chaotic state without a ruler.
In this melee, Hong Zhongkai showcased his demon-slaying skills, cutting down many enemies and acquiring many precious herbs.
Because of his many enemies, Hong Zhongkai was a public enemy in the forest.
However, because of his formidable strength and strong jungle combat capability, his enemies have yet to harm him.
Strangely, ever since the Elephant King’s last rampage, it hadn’t appeared for two days.
The foreign treasure seekers in the forest were quite puzzled about this.
But their curiosity didn’t stop their desire to hunt for treasure.
In these days, if one roamed the forest with intention, they could find traces of people everywhere.
As a jungle expert, Hong Zhongkai’s favorite thing to do upon landing was to rob Loose Cultivators.
At this moment, he was quietly crouching on a branch of a towering tree.
The camouflage on his body blended completely with the green leaves.
His face was extremely cold, but his eyes were sparkling brightly.
Not far away, a bush rustled.
Then, a chubby man with a thick head emerged.
The Fatty had a flat top, small eyes, a large mouth, and looked exceedingly ugly.
However, Hong Zhongkai’s eyes lit up as he watched him.
He knew this Fatty was called the "God of Wealth" in Jianghu and was immensely wealthy in the outside world.
After entering this forest, the Fatty did not abandon his title and, using his family’s special hiding and detecting techniques, accumulated a huge fortune.
Rumor has it that the herbs and precious minerals on the Fatty’s body together were worth billions.
It shows how many treasures the God of Wealth had.
Hong Zhongkai had set his sights on the Fatty two days prior.
At the time, he was hunting a prey and accidentally found the Fatty’s trail.
Both being masters of stealth, they engaged in a two-day battle of wits and courage.
And now, it was time for a decisive showdown.
"Dead Fatty, you still think you shook me off? Little did you know, I’ve figured out your route of activity. For crafty guys like you, tracking is useless. Only an ambush works..."
Lying on the tree, a hint of a cold smile appeared on Hong Zhongkai’s face, and he felt even more smug inside.
"Fatty, since you’ve fallen into my trap, it’s time for you to pay with your life!"
As Hong Zhongkai was feeling triumphant, the Fatty slowly walked over, arriving beneath the tree where Hong Zhongkai was.
Hong Zhongkai, on the tree, suddenly laughed, leaping from the tree, intending to crush the Fatty with a single blow.
Just as Hong Zhongkai was about to fall, suddenly the Fatty, who had been dazed, showed a cheeky smile.
Immediately, his large body dodged, throwing himself into the adjacent bushes.
Bang!
Hong Zhongkai landed on the ground, crouched, then stood up, looking angrily at the Fatty.
This Dead Fatty actually dodged?
Clap, clap, clap, clap!
A clear clapping sound echoed.
Over there, the God of Wealth had an expression of pride. "Major Hong, you’re rumored to be the king of the forest. Now it seems that’s all you are!"
As he spoke, the nearby bushes shook, and people dressed in clothes made of special green leaves came over, standing with cold expressions.
Seeing their outfits, Hong Zhongkai instantly understood that this group had prepared to ambush him for a long time!
Seeing the expressions on their faces, he grew even more anxious.
This group really intended to kill him!
"You all! Aren’t you afraid of military retaliation once we leave here? I’m a Major! The Commander’s man!"
Understanding their intentions, Hong Zhongkai shouted, his face turning iron-blue.
"Hahaha!"
The Fatty laughed heartily, holding his belly as he said, "Major Hong, we’re all smart people. In times like this, why waste words? Your military force acts overbearingly, using unruly methods to kill us. Now that your forces are scattered, how could we let go of this chance for revenge?"
Hearing this, Hong Zhongkai felt his heart bleeding.
He had great confidence in his own skills.
But to be able to survive till now, the people present were undoubtedly strong.
Moreover, they came fully prepared, clearly set on their intent to kill.
If nothing unexpected happens, he would probably die here today.
"Old Dog Hong! You killed my brother a few days ago! Today, if I don’t skin you alive, I won’t be human again!"
A big man with a beard, filled with hatred, looked at Hong Zhongkai, stepping forward with a sudden move.
Swoosh, swoosh!
The sound of his feet on the ground was especially harsh.
In that instant, every hair on Hong Zhongkai’s body stood on end.
He felt the threat of death, with immense unwillingness in his heart.
I was wise my whole life, and now I have to die at the hands of these wastes?
How can this be?
In his anger, Hong Zhongkai grabbed something from his waist, gritting his teeth as he shouted, "Even if I’m going to die, I’ll take some down with me!"
Curiously enough, after his shout, the big man halted.
The others cast strange glances his way.
A bit confused, Hong Zhongkai followed their gaze and suddenly looked at the thing in his hand.
Turned out, it was a Token.
