132: News about Huang Yitong
Xiao Weiqing ignored these voices.
He walked over to two Trainees from Luo Jiang Academy.
Xiao Weiqing had some impression of the two people who had just called out to him; one was Wang Ren from the Upper Academy, while the other was a girl from the Middle Academy whose name he didn't remember.
"Hello, Brother Qing," Wang Ren greeted.
"This is Cui Lin, from the Middle Academy."
"Hello, Brother Qing."
"Hello."
"Is it just the two of you?"
Wang Ren said, "There are two others, but they've gone out."
"Wang Ren, have you seen Huang Yitong?"
Wang Ren shook his head. "I haven't seen her."
"Then have you seen this mark?"
Wang Ren thought for a few seconds and still shook his head. "I have no memory of it."
At this moment, Cui Lin spoke up. "Brother Qing, I've seen this."
"You've seen it?"
Cui Lin thought for a moment and nodded affirmatively. "Yes, I've seen it. Before coming to this base, I saw a fat guy leave this mark on a rock."
"A fat guy?"
Xiao Weiqing frowned. Could it be Fei Xiaobao? But Huang Yitong didn't seem to have commissioned Fei Xiaobao.
"Yes, a fat guy. I saw his back from a distance. The combat uniform was from our academy, so he should be from the Upper Academy. I know everyone from the Middle Academy who came in this time, and there's no one that fat there."
Xiao Weiqing pulled up a photo of Fei Xiaobao. "Is it him?"
"I didn't see his face, but based on the size, it looks very similar. It's the first time I've ever seen such a thick waistline," Cui Lin confirmed.
Xiao Weiqing was certain that Cui Lin was talking about Fei Xiaobao. Fei Xiaobao's physique was absolutely unique; no one could compare to it.
"Cui Lin, can you tell me where you saw him?"
"It's a bit far. That was two days ago, about 100 kilometers east of here."
Xiao Weiqing frowned. Two days ago... he didn't know where they would be now. Trying to chase them down would undoubtedly be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Cui Lin, thank you."
Xiao Weiqing thanked her and then got up to leave.
He thought for a moment.
Xiao Weiqing still decided to go look for them. Firstly, he didn't want to break his word, and secondly, Huang Yitong was a little rich girl; if circumstances allowed, it was best to maintain a good relationship with her.
If the academy didn't have the Heaven And Earth Treasures needed for the Samadhi True Fire Fusion, he would have to rely on the channels behind Huang Yitong.
He walked out of the base.
Xiao Weiqing moved forward at full speed... Inside a valley.
At this moment, a man and a woman were lying in the grass, staring into the valley—specifically, at an orchard.
It was exactly Fei Xiaobao and Huang Yitong.
However, the two of them looked a bit disheveled, and Fei Xiaobao had several scratch marks on his body.
"Dead Fatty, can you do this or not?"
"We've been circling around here for several days."
"Huang Yitong, I'm kindly helping you. If you're not grateful, fine, but stop calling me 'Dead Fatty' every other word."
Huang Yitong said speechlessly, "If I didn't give you points, would you help me?"
"Of course not."
"There you go."
"Cough... cough... I misspoke. For the sake of being classmates, of course I would help you."
Huang Yitong curled her lip. "As if I'd believe you."
A few days ago.
Huang Yitong had just arrived at the Ruins. Before she had gone far, she ran into Fei Xiaobao, which pleasantly surprised her. Although her combat strength wasn't high, she had treasures given by her elders and didn't fear the Ruins. However, meeting a companion from the Upper Academy was even better.
After they started traveling together, Huang Yitong heard Fei Xiaobao mention this valley and immediately had an idea.
A patch of Golden Phoenix Fruits grew in this valley, which were fire-element Heaven And Earth Treasures.
Huang Yitong felt that this place might allow her to summon the Blazing Winged Tiger.
She then egged Fei Xiaobao on to take an interest in this place, offering a high reward in points.
At first, Fei Xiaobao refused without a second thought. Are you kidding? There was an entire group of Golden Flame Monkeys down there, at least twenty of them.
The leader was even Rank 3, and judging by its aura, it was likely at the Late Stage.
But as Huang Yitong kept increasing the stakes, Fei Xiaobao finally gave in.
If he completed Huang Yitong's task, even if he didn't gain anything else during this trip to the Ruins, it wouldn't be in vain.
After three days.
Fei Xiaobao had used all his tricks and barely managed to kill seven or eight Golden Flame Monkeys, but he was no match for the Rank 3 leader.
Now, the entire group of monkeys was staying close together, leaving Fei Xiaobao with no way to strike.
"Forget it, let's go. It's not worth the risk. This place might not even let me summon the Blazing Winged Tiger. But don't worry, I'll still pay you three thousand points."
Fei Xiaobao stared at the fruit trees and steeled his heart.
"I'll go lure the monkeys away. You hurry up."
Huang Yitong urged, "Hey, Dead Fatty, I'm really not in a hurry. We've just entered the Ruins; there will be plenty of opportunities later."
Fei Xiaobao smiled. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"But you're just one person. What do you plan to do?"
"This master has his own clever plan."
Fei Xiaobao crawled out and went to the edge of the valley. He took a deep breath, his chest swelling high.
"Vacuum Turbulent Wave!"
Several huge wind blades instantly condensed and flew into the valley.
The originally peaceful valley was ravaged by fierce winds.
A large number of Golden Flame Fruits were sliced open by the wind blades, their juice flowing everywhere and splashing on the ground.
"Zhi... zhi..."
The Golden Flame Monkeys that were napping jumped up and down in anger at the sight.
The Golden Flame Monkey leader locked onto Fei Xiaobao at a glance.
"Zhi... zhi..."
Over a dozen Golden Flame Monkeys swarmed out, reaching the cliff in just a few leaps.
"Holy crap, so fast!"
Fei Xiaobao turned tail and ran, not forgetting to shout:
"Huang Yitong, hurry up!"
Fei Xiaobao turned into a nimble fat man, leading the Golden Flame Monkeys away from the valley.
"Sigh, this guy."
Huang Yitong stomped her foot and quickly descended into the valley.
The valley was currently a mess.
There was a large patch of Golden Phoenix Fruits. They weren't particularly high-level Heaven And Earth Treasures, but there were plenty of them.
Huang Yitong took out a dagger and waved it continuously, slicing open the ripe Golden Phoenix Fruits, causing the golden juice to flow all over the ground.
Afterward.
Huang Yitong communicated with the Other World.
"Are you there?"
"Xiao Hu, are you there?"
Huang Yitong was a bit anxious. While keeping a wary eye out for the returning monkeys, she concentrated her mind to communicate with her contracted Spirit Beast.
Just as Huang Yitong was about to give up, a childish, milky voice finally sounded in her mind.
"What do you want? I told you I'm very weak. Don't contact me if there's nothing important."
Huang Yitong said urgently, "Xiao Hu, I found the place you mentioned. Try to see if you can descend to my side."
"Really?"
A few seconds later.
The childish voice sounded again, "No, it's still far from enough."
After that, there was no more sound.
Hearing this.
A flash of disappointment crossed Huang Yitong's face.
"Sigh..."
Suppressing her disappointment, Huang Yitong picked a few intact Golden Flame Fruits and went to find Fei Xiaobao... At this time, Fei Xiaobao's situation was not good; he had already been surrounded by the Golden Flame Monkey group.
*Clang!*
A long saber was unsheathed.
Spiritual Qi overflowed from his hands, enveloping the Spiritual Qi weapon.
With the enhancement of the wind attribute, the long saber became even sharper.
"Come on, let your grandpa see what you beasts are capable of."
