GDK 687: Share some with me
After Han Shuo exited from the other side of the portal, he discovered that he had arrived in a valley shrouded by clouds and fog. There were cliff walls in every direction, filled with deep caverns that lead somewhere new. The ground seemed solid, a mixture of rock fragments.
Those who came through the portal before Han Shuo wandered all around the valley while Eunice and Barnett were whispering to each other in a corner, trying to come up with a countermeasure for the situation they were in.
Han Shuo expanded his consciousness. As soon as he started surveying the situation around him, he sensed the presence of a boundary high amongst the blanket of cloud overhead. That boundary giving off an obvious aura of destruction suddenly reacted. It was able to detect that Han Shuo’s consciousness was probing around. The mist and clouds in the area where Han Shuo’s consciousness was traveling started to billow.
Han Shuo was astounded and immediately drew back his consciousness. He did not know if his consciousness could penetrate the boundary but seeing that the boundary was so sensitive that it could detect his consciousness, he decided not to take any chances to avoid attracting the attention of the master of this place.
At this point in time, those who were exiting from the portal behind Han Shuo were godhunters who had certainly become depraved and beyond salvation. The excitement in their eyes blazed even brighter after they walked out from the portal. They were staring fixedly at Han Shuo and the crowd like predators stalking their prey.
Rahman was the last to cross the portal. He ought to have withdrawn the dark gold sphere which dispensed the Orbs of Annihilation and the bidirectional portal in the training field. With that, the Croton Family of Fort Verka wouldn’t find a clue about their abrupt disappearance.
Right after exiting the portal, Rahman started looking all around for Eunice. When her figure entered his eyes, he started smirking sinisterly and pervertedly. Who knew what filthy ideas he had in mind.
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this hideout of our Godhunter Alliance. Let me introduce you to the leader of the destruction energy division, Lord Brovst!” Rahman shouted towards a very large cave while wearing a respectful look.
“Rahman, thank you for your great work!” a voice suddenly sounded from the cave.
The atmosphere in the valley suddenly turned very eerie with everyone consciously keeping a distance away from each other. Even the best of friends would be cautious of each other. At this moment, no one could be trusted, anyone could be an enemy.
The crowd that originally gathered in one big group gradually spread further and further apart from each other. Meanwhile, on the contrary, the godhunters gathered into a group, coldly smirking and observing the crowd as though watching an entertaining play.
“What, what are you all doing?!” Eunice who was with Barnett noticed the crowd was becoming divided and shouted in a somewhat panicked voice.
Everyone ignored her!
Even the guards under the House of Croton were silently dispersing from the duo. Their eyes were flickering with indecision. No one but themselves knew what they had in mind.
By now, even Han Shuo was feeling rather uneasy. He wasn’t afraid that someone among the crowd might attack him. He was worried about how to escape from this valley.
With the presence of Brovst, a terrifying highgod, there was no practical way for Han Shuo to simply charge out from the canyon. Even if he summoned earth and metal elite zombies, they would be in great trouble once Brovst spotted them.
Perhaps the only viable means of escaping was to deploy the Demonic Blood Disassembly. However, using this demonic technique would consume a great amount of his demonic yuan. Han Shuo was most unwilling to deploy this method except in the last resort.
Curiosity kills! Han Shuo inwardly blamed himself for staying despite knowing that there would be danger. Had he summoned earth elite zombie back at the training field and escaped through an underground tunnel, Han Shuo believed that no one could have stopped him. But now, he could not employ this method here, not if Brovst was in the valley.
What about engulfing some other person’s divine energy? No, that won’t work! Other than somehow killing everyone here, the godhunters could leak my identity and I will forever be framed as a godhunter! Han Shuo was stuck in a dilemma. He racked his brain trying to find a way out of the situation.
A stifled groan clearly resounded through the valley. Han Shuo, who was heavily pondering, turned to look at the source of noise. He saw a man swaying to and fro. He seemed to have suffered a sneak attack.
“Who? Who is it?” the man turned and looked all around with furious gazes. When he turned his body, a little green arrow protruding from his back came into Han Shuo’s view. The wound was flowing with fouling blood. It appeared that the little arrow was laced with a powerful venom.
“My apologies, Anli. I know you loathed the godhunters and would never be one of them. Since you will die in any case, you might as well use it to give me a chance to live!” a youngster as thin as bamboo with a scar on his face was pointing a delicate crossbow at him. He replenished the crossbow with his destruction divine energy.
“Lager, how, how could you? I have saved your life once, and this is how you return the favor?” Anli who caught a venomous arrow stared at his assaulter in disbelief. His bloodshot eyes were bulging out, obviously extremely enraged.
“Yes, I’ve always been grateful for it. That is why I let you rescue me once more. I believe you would be most willing to do so! Goodbye, Anli. I will always remember you for saving my life twice! ” That thin youngster called Lager then fired another three small arrows containing destruction divine energy in rapid successions.
Anli was obviously no longer as agile. When Lager attacked Anli with all his strength in such short range, of the three small arrows, Anli only managed to deflect two. He caught another arrow to his chest.
Then, taking advantage of an opening, Lager suddenly charged at Anli and threw him two punches. Destructive energy surged into Anli’s body and he collapsed to the ground.
“People, this one is mine. Do as you please but please don’t rob him from me!” Lager placed his two hands on Anli’s back, raised his head, and said to the crowd with a bright smile. But for some reason, everyone in the valley was disgusted.
For a person to ruthlessly and decisively attack his rescuer and not show the least bit of guilt from start to finish, this person must be severely demented. It was no wonder he was the first to take action!
People were usually most wary of this kind of character. Before his splendid smile, the crowd subconsciously took a few steps backward.
“Fucking hell, how do people like this exist!” even those who had become godhunters couldn’t help but loudly voice out their disgust. Godhunters couldn’t help themselves but hunt and absorb the energy of others. Other than going out to hunt other cultivators of the same energy, godhunters were not all that different from average cultivators. They too had their own circles of friends and felt the same emotions. Therefore, they were just as disgusted with someone as abhorrent as Lager.
The crowd had subconsciously opened up an even wider space around Lager. He started absorbing his savior’s divine energy as though no one else was present. As Anli shrieked like a banshee, Lager seemed more and more malevolent to the crowd!
Suddenly, an ill-timed laughter sounded from a corner. “Do you mind sharing some with me? That would save me from finding a prey!”
The crowd was shocked to hear those words. They were wondering who would be so daring to provoke Lager. Hence, they turned to look in the direction from whence the voice came.
With the crowd attentively watching, Han Shuo stepped forward with confident strides. The smile on his face appeared even more sincere than the one on Lager’s face. As he looked at Lager from a distance, he said, “I believe that a person with as much sense of gratitude as you have surely will not take offense!”
“Interesting, interesting!” Lager gave a slow clap as he laughed out loud. He then beamed at Han Shuo and said, “Sure, but you better hurry. Otherwise, I’m going to take your share!”
“Then I shall gladly take it!” Han Shuo laughed and suddenly sped up. He charged straight for Lager.
“I’m waiting!” Anli who was at his last gasp when Lager ceased to engulf his divine energy and suddenly stood up. He rapidly took aim at Han Shuo with his crossbow. Lager was a mid-stage lowgod. For most spectators, he was a dangerous character. His vicious temperament was especially feared.
Han Shuo did not reply but charged at Lager at lightning speed. He obviously knew that Lager wouldn’t have responded in kind.
