Deep within the nature reserve, the Gaosuo tribe resided.
âThe Chief and the High Priest⊠The matter is confirmed now, outsiders are invading, murdering our kinsfolk!â
This tribe is significantly large, with a total population of five thousand, it dominates over all other Gaosuo tribes in the nature reserve.
âThe Outsiders again!â
The robust Chief roared in anger: âWhere are our warriors? Follow me and letâs decapitate the intruders! Their skins will be our carpets, their heads will be our trophies!â
âZagu! You are our sole remaining mighty warrior, should you exactly diminish in an outsidersâ invasion? Have the lessons of history been forgotten?â
At this moment, the High Priest draped in a feathered beastâs cloak, unfathomably aged, looking like a withering skeleton whose eyes still had a glimmer of faint light, spoke: âThe number of outsiders is too largeâŠ
haphazardly engaging them in combat is not a prudent choice.â
âWe are the Gaosuo! Our ancestors lived on this land! Our blood carries valor!â
Chief Zagu earnestly justified.
âBut now⊠all we do is for survival!â
The High Priest coughed and spoke in a slow tone: âTo borrow strength from other forces is not dishonorable, have the warriors prepare the offerings, I am ready to unseal that entity!â
âHigh Priest!â
Zagu trembled, âThat⊠Thatâs a nightmare thatâs been haunting our land, a bloodthirsty evil spirit⊠Do you remember the price we paid to seal it away?â
âDonât worry, Chief⊠We can exploit it!â
A trace of bloodthirstiness appeared on the aged face of the High Priest: âWe will not submit to the invaders⊠nor let off any enemy who stained themselves with the blood of our tribesmen⊠it will take revenge against our enemies in
our stead.â
âIf you can control itâŠâ
The Chief changed his expression a bit and bent his body halfway while speaking.
âItâs very good⊠Order the younglings to collect offerings, it is best if the outsiders are included amongst them!â
The High Priest looked towards a gorge outside the tribal settlement.
In it, an important asset of the tribe was sealed⊠a deathless, undying Evil Spirit!
Initially in order to seal it, enormous quantities of Gaosuo warriorsâ and wizardsâ blood were shed.
But now, it has abruptly become the guardian of the Gaosuo. At least, it indeed was a force that could be exploited!
âYou are⊠a Transcendent?â
Outside the gorge, Geli looked at Su Lu as she suddenly questioned. Su Lu, who was examining the situation in the gorge, was stunned for a moment: âYes.â
Getting ready to tenaciously negotiate, he paid no heed to this question, given that his identity would inevitably be revealed.
âThen why have you come to the reserve? Did you already know about Geredâs plan?â Geli continued questioning.
âIf I knew, I would not just hire you.â
Su Lu shrugged his shoulders, âI am just interested in the transcendent power that the Gaosuo possess, and wanted to make some deals with them⊠but now, you have seen it all.â
âDoing business with the Gaosuo?
Geli disdainfully glared at Su Lu, âI think you are dreaming, they will kill any
Roman who enters their sight! And chop off their heads as trophies of war!â âMaybe⊠but my persuasive abilities are very strong!â
Su Lu chuckled, then suddenly pushed down Geliâs head, âSomeone is coming out!â
âHm?â
Geli, lying in ambush, looked over and saw a team moving out of the gorge at a slow pace.
About ten bandits, surrounded by female prisoners tethered together with ropes, children seemed to be amongst them.
âDamn Geredâs band of bandits, they actually planned to sell slaves!â
Geli gritted her teeth.
Because of the inherent hostility between the races, even if they were sold in the black market, the fate of these Gaosuo wouldnât be much better.
The most probable outcome was to cater to some rich and perverse tycoons.
Geli, a bounty hunter who occasionally had contact with the dark world, was very clear about this.
âYou want to save them?â
She eagerly pulled out her gun, âCount me in!â
âWait!â
Su Lu didnât say much, he bent down and his soul went off instantly, entering the second layer of the mental realm!
With the vision of the mental realm, he observed his surroundings, seeing only a sea of subconsciousness, and the light group moving not far away.
Among them, there was a giant island, just by the volume of it, Su Lu didnât have any plans to investigate it.
âA third-rank occupational person is hiding within, a trap?!â
Su Lu chuckled and then returned to his body.
This method of investigationâsince it started from the second layer of the mental realmâcouldnât be discovered by others, not to mention being concealed and defended.
Just by relying on this alone, he held quite a few advantages.
âBe careful!â
âBesides a leading transcendent among them, they are also hiding a third-rank occupational person. It should be Iron Fist Rus!â Su Lu assured confidently.
âYou are⊠the side of Professionals that can cast spells?â
Geli was startled.
To her surprise, she saw Su Lu just lower his head and his gaze slightly changed for a few seconds, and he had detected the hidden strength on the opposite side, and she couldnât help but be very curious.
She reckoned her eyesight was not bad, but while observing that team, she didnât notice Rusâs trace at all. Otherwise, she would not think of striking a hard bargain there. âYou can consider it so!â
Su Lu didnât explain.
âRus, huh? He is worth five hundred Golden Dragons on the bounty list! He is a cash cow!â Geli licked her lips, âWhat rank of Professional are you?â
âSecond-rank! â
Su Lu answered honestly, seeing the disappointed face of Geli, he added: âBut that doesnât mean itâs hopeless!â
Under normal situations, a first-rank and a second-rank professional could definitely not be a match for a third-rank professional.
The transcendent powers reached a very deep point in a field by the time one reaches the third rank, known as the âExpertâ, itâs gradually transcending mundanity.
Yet Su Lu was more than a simple second-rank, he was a part-timer! He knew the opponentâs ambush and professional information, and held an advantage, thus a fight might not be in vain!
âWhatâs your plan?â Geli was somewhat stirred up, âWe can split the bounty!â
âCan you stall Rus?â
Su Lu countered.
Geli immediately had a hint of blushing, âEven though Iâm only first-rank, but the rest of the bandits can be left to me!â
She is a well-known bounty hunter in this area, a Transcendent Professional!
Experienced in countless battles, facing ten ordinary bandits was absolutely no problem for her!
Even though Su Lu was ahead of her in professional rank, her expertise shouldnât be underestimated!
âThat wonât be necessary, I indeed have a plan!â
Su Lu nonchalantly said, âI have just observed, amongst this team of bandits, apart from Iron Fist Rus, there is only a first-rank transcendent, the remaining are all normal people. We can follow them, act in the night, I am confident of eliminating those ordinary bandits, and even that first-rank transcendent without alerting anyone else!â
âWhat?â
Geli was startled, she couldnât believe that Su Lu was so confident..
