Chapter 449: Capturing Wang Yue
Chapter 449: Capturing Wang Yue
September 25, 2017
Lu HaiKong listened to Zhang Daoyi and Tai Shi Ling recount the fierce experiences of that young girl, all while directing Dian Wei, Pan Feng, and the others to surround Wang Yue, instructing them not to interfere with the girl's battle but also to prevent Wang Yue from escaping.
Whether intentional or not, Lu HaiKong had dispatched all his available forces.
Within a short time, only Zhang Daoyi and Tai Shi Ling remained by Lu HaiKong's side, and a radiant light akin to an earthbound prison enveloped Lu HaiKong's body.
Witnessing this, Zhang Daoyi and Tai Shi Ling exchanged a glance, seemingly having made a decision, and approached Lu HaiKong.
Lu HaiKong observed their actions without saying a word, merely watching the two.
"Brother Lu, my apologies. It's better to be cautious," Zhang Daoyi said, and as he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and a mythical-tier treasure chest appeared before him. Without hesitation, Zhang Daoyi opened the chest.
The mythical-tier treasure chest was not only magnificent in appearance but also awe-inspiring in the process of opening it. Zhang Daoyi, however, forced himself to look away from the contents of the chest. After opening it, he bowed to Lu HaiKong and, accompanied by Tai Shi Ling, promptly departed without another word.
As Zhang Daoyi had said, it was prudent to be cautious. Unless absolutely necessary, Zhang Daoyi would not have produced the mythical-tier treasure chest, as it was far too precious and tempting.
Although Lu HaiKong had agreed and was already assisting him, this was merely the beginning, and no one knew how the situation would unfold from there.
Zhang Daoyi's primary concern was the greed that might arise, leading to a desire to capture him and his brother to gain more benefits. Thus, from the moment he presented the mythical treasure chest, Zhang Daoyi had been planning his departure.
However, despite his departure, Lu HaiKong had helped him capture Wang Yue, and this was a debt to be settled. Zhang Daoyi still needed to repay Lu HaiKong with the treasure chest, as it was a matter of trust for him.
With Wang Yue's defeat assured, Zhang Daoyi, without hesitation, bid farewell to Lu HaiKong, accompanied by Tai Shi Ling.
Lu HaiKong remained silent, watching Zhang Daoyi and Tai Shi Ling turn and walk away without any attempt to detain them.
Just as they were about to disappear from Lu HaiKong's sight, he spoke, "It's been a pleasant collaboration. I hope we have another opportunity to work together. If you trust me, feel free to seek me out should you encounter any unsolvable problems."
Zhang Daoyi and Tai Shi Ling paused, bowed to Lu HaiKong, and continued on their way.
"That fellow is quite clever and decent. Oh well, it's just a treasure chest."
If it weren't for Zhang Daoyi's previous rescue of Lu HaiKong and his decision to leave the mythical treasure chest behind, they wouldn't have been able to leave.
"After they vanished, Ma Pin's figure appeared beside Lu HaiKong. In truth, Lu HaiKong had been cautious not only of Wang Yue but also of Zhang Daoyi and his companions.
Zhang Daoyi's final action was indeed clever. Although he could have directly left with the mythical-tier treasure chest, doing so would only have hastened his demise.
As Zhang Daoyi and Tai Shi Ling departed, the battle between the young girl and Wang Yue continued. The fight was quite lively and colorful. Interestingly, Wang Yue's opponent was not just Zhao YueEr but also included her horse.
Zhao YueEr's horse had sleek black hair without a single stray strand, and its eyes were as large as fists, flashing with a captivating gleam.
This horse was not only intelligent but also possessed considerable strength. A casual kick could cause an air blast, and being struck by it would not result in a pleasant outcome.
During the battle between Zhao YueEr and Wang Yue, this horse played a significant role, assisting Zhao YueEr in her attacks and helping her dodge with impeccable timing.
Lu HaiKong was quite interested in this horse and casually cast an Appraisal Technique on it while watching the battle.
Name: Xiao LuZi
Race: Black Cloud Dragon Horse
Talent: Top-tier (Maximum Growth: 92)
Ability: 80
Racial Talent: ???
Mastered Skills: ???
Upon seeing the attributes of this horse, Lu HaiKong couldn't help but burst out laughing at its name, and he was also shocked by its capabilities.
This young lady had a horse with an ability as high as 80, and although Lu HaiKong couldn't detect her attributes due to some prop interference, he could clearly sense that her combat strength was at least above 90.
Lu HaiKong originally thought that his combat strength of 83 was already formidable, but he never expected that this young lady was even more abnormal, which made him feel a bit dejected.
However, Lu HaiKong didn't need to feel this way. Zhao YueEr was different from him. His combat strength had been cultivated step by step, whereas Zhao YueEr's strength had skyrocketed.
Each step she took and every point of her combat strength was earned through bloodshed, the blood of others, but more so her own. With such a path, her strength was formidable, but it came at the cost of her vitality. Although she was powerful, there were also numerous issues.
The battle between Zhao YueEr and Wang Yue lasted for a long time, until the effect of Lu HaiKong's Earthbound Prison on his body disappeared, and the fight between Zhao YueEr and Wang Yue finally came to a temporary conclusion.
In a 6-9-1-9-1-8-1-0 version, there was no mistake!
In reality, the battle between Zhao YueEr and Wang Yue was never a one-on-one fight from the beginning. On the surface, Zhao YueEr and Wang Yue were fighting, but on the sidelines, Dian Wei was always on high alert, ready to attack at any moment. The warriors surrounding them from all directions also affected Wang Yue.
Under these circumstances, Wang Yue basically had no chance of escape. He struggled for half an hour, seeing that Lu HaiKong didn't seem to intend to kill him, so he stopped fighting.
Upon seeing this, Lu HaiKong didn't hesitate to command Dian Wei and the others to go and capture Wang Yue, who had already exhausted his physical strength.
With this, Lu HaiKong's actions for the day came to a complete end.
Although Lu HaiKong's side had a satisfying conclusion, on Zhao YueEr's side, seeing the actions of Dian Wei and the others, the bright and charming eyes behind her mask glared roundly, and she was not pleased."
"Lu HaiKong, you're stealing my monster again!"
If Ye Wu had said these words, Lu HaiKong would have rolled his eyes, but hearing them from Zhao YueEr, whom he hadn't seen for over a year, Lu HaiKong could only respond with a silly smile.
"Long time no see." After his silly smile, Lu HaiKong rarely spoke softly, greeting her.
After more than a year, Lu HaiKong finally met again with the first Outsider he encountered in this game world, who was also his first Outsider friend.
Zhao YueEr scratched her head and removed her mask, revealing her face. "Yeah, long time no see!"
When Lu HaiKong saw Zhao YueEr's face behind the mask, he couldn't help but be slightly moved. It was still that exquisite and adorable face, but there were several scars on it.
Although these scars didn't mar her beauty, they gave her a conflicting charm of cuteness and fierceness. But when Lu HaiKong saw those scars, he seemed to envision the young lady fighting valiantly, and he felt a tinge of heartache because she was one of his few friends.
"Can't the scars be healed?"
"I don't know. They haven't healed for more than half a year; maybe there are too many injuries."
Zhao YueEr replied nonchalantly.
This woman seemed unbothered by her appearance and the experiences she had gone through...
