Chapter 135
At this moment, two survivors asked, “Cao… Cao Xing, big shot…”
“We told you what you wanted to know, can you let us go now?”
Cao Xing nodded, “Okay.”
A strong look of joy appeared in the eyes of the two survivors.
And just at that moment.
A cold glint swept across their necks.
[-2054]
[-2175]
The two tilted their heads and died instantly.
Cao Xing looked at the pile of corpses on the street, and a few half-dead Imperial soldiers and Imperial archers nearby.
Blood stained the ground red, and a few houses on both sides were destroyed.
Fortunately, there were no casualties among the ordinary villagers.
Cao Xing said, “Assam, Renice, clean up the battlefield.”
…
…
A few minutes earlier.
In a snowy field dozens of kilometers away from Hog Village, there was a survivor camp.
Fang Long and his family, inside the Lord’s Hut, respectfully watched a hunter in a black robe with a mask on his face.
Their attitude was extremely humble.
Fang Long, with a face full of smiles, said, “Lord Priest, you’ve seen my territory. What do you think?”
The black-robed priest nodded, “Not bad, as expected of the Chosen Lord. This is a very good hiding spot. The Kingdom’s soldiers generally won’t search here.”
“Then, as per our agreement, I’ll send an assassin under my command to deal with that kid.”
“And your territory will serve as a base for our Bright Church, ensuring our location won’t be exposed.”
At this point, the black-robed priest’s tone turned somewhat sinister, “If you dare betray the Bright Church, I believe you know the consequences. By then, you’ll be begging me to kill you!”
Hearing the last sentence, Fang Long and his family shuddered.
He quickly put on a smiling face, respectfully nodded, and said, “Don’t worry, Lord Priest. Since I’ve joined the Bright Church, I will wholeheartedly serve the Church.”
The black-robed priest nodded, “Then you may leave. From now on, this hut will be our temporary base.”
“Okay, Lord Priest.”
Fang Long and his family respectfully left the Lord’s Hut.
No one probably imagined that this group of hunters would be so cunning, thinking of using the survivors’ territory as a hiding spot.
However, just as they were about to leave, the black-robed priest’s gaze lingered on the beautiful woman next to Fang Long.
This woman was Fang Long’s wife, named Lan Qianqian.
In Xiangjiang City, she was considered one of the more famous beauties.
Although her looks couldn’t compare to the top ten goddesses like Liu Muxue and Yan Jingwei, she was still remarkably eye-catching among ordinary people.
At this moment, Lan Qianqian wore her hair in pigtails, with a light makeup on her face, and her big flashing eyes looked very pure.
Under the wolf skin coat, she wore fishnet stockings on her beautiful legs.
It gave a style that was both pure and alluring.
For these Natives, she was a woman they had never seen before.
The black-robed priest suddenly said, “Wait a moment.”
Fang Long and his companions stopped, “What’s the matter, Lord Priest?”
“Is this woman your wife?”
Fang Long nodded, “Yes, this Lord.”
The black-robed priest said nothing but stared at Lan Qianqian with an appraising look, his eyes full of interested expressions.
Lan Qianqian felt a bit uneasy under his bare stare.
For a moment, Fang Long didn’t dare to breathe loudly.
After a moment, the black-robed priest chuckled, “It’s nothing, you may leave now.”
Fang Long and the others were relieved.
Meanwhile, Fang Long had brought his family to a nearby shelter.
The beautiful woman beside him softly asked, “Brother Long… do we really need to give our territory to these people? I’ve heard they are a bunch of cultists, and the entire Kingdom is after them…”
“If we get exposed… will we be implicated?”
Fang Long chuckled, “Qianqian, you don’t understand.”
“After today, we’ll be out of newbie protection mode, and the future development will be much harder than now.”
“And even though these hunters are crazy and evil, they’re powerful enough with members all over the Ice Crystal Kingdom.”
“We can completely take advantage of their strength to quickly develop our territory.”
“Then use our advantages to gather other players, and once we have enough strength, we’ll turn them over to the Ice Crystal Kingdom, eating from both ends.”
Hearing this, Fang Long’s parents and the beautiful woman beside him all looked enlightened.
And when they looked at Fang Long, their eyes were full of admiration.
“Brother Long, you’re so clever to think of such a method!”
The middle-aged man beside him also praised, “Truly worthy of being my son!”
Fang Long had a smile on his face, seemingly enjoying the admiration from his family immensely.
The beautiful woman continued softly, “Brother Long, I heard you sent people to kill that Cao Xing today?”
“He’s already the person with the highest level in District 174, shouldn’t there be any problems?”
Fang Long laughed, “What problems could there be?”
“This time, to show their sincerity in cooperation, the hunters surprisingly sent out over a dozen second-tier hunters at once, along with three third-tier assassins!”
“Tsk tsk! It really made me envious! If only this power were mine!”
“With this strength, once the newbie protection period ends tomorrow, I can wipe out all the survivor camps within dozens of kilometers, forcing them to join our Three Heroes Association.”
“Then keep expanding, and soon enough, I’ll be the one calling the shots in the entire District 174!”
Fang Long’s eyes were full of strong longing, yet he quickly shook his head, knowing that it wasn’t too realistic.
