Chapter 229 The Bizarre Scene

After the two worked together to search, they finally managed to force Kuang Zheng, who had been hiding, to come out.

This led to a series of events, and now everything has come to a conclusion.

Next, it was Zhu Xian's turn to pay the reward.

Because Lei Mang was seriously injured, he was racking his brains to figure out what price he needed to pay to satisfy the other party!

After all, the person was injured while helping, so the reward should naturally be more than usual.

However, at that moment, they suddenly heard Chi Ying and Lei Mang make the same request: "We don't want anything else, we just want to take away this dying human so we can vent our anger!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xian didn't even think twice and instinctively nodded in agreement.

After all, this offer is just too tempting!

For him, the matter would be over once the human in front of him died.

Although it wasn't done by myself, it was somewhat of a disappointment.

However, compared to the huge sum of money to be paid, this minor flaw is completely negligible.

This is undoubtedly a huge windfall!

Who could resist such a huge temptation?

In that instant, the words of agreement were already on the tip of his tongue, about to spill out uncontrollably.

However, at this critical moment, he swallowed it back.

The reason is simple: the offer is just too generous and too tempting, too good to be true.

You have to understand, everyone here is a seasoned veteran who has been navigating the world for thousands of years. Each one of us is as shrewd as a fox, and who doesn't have their own plans and schemes?

Lei Mang is known for his straightforwardness, but he is by no means a brainless fool.

But if it were just him saying those words, Zhu Xian would probably agree without even thinking.

After all, people like Lei Mang, with their forthright and straightforward personality, tend to be quite honest and credible in their words and actions.

But here's the problem—even the cunning Akakage made the exact same request!

This makes things more complicated.

This situation is like two people who work tirelessly and without complaint, vying to take on even the dirtiest and most arduous tasks.

Moreover, this situation didn't just last for a day or two, but for a whole year!

Even more outrageous is that during this long period of time, one of them was even injured. Although the injury was not too serious, it was by no means insignificant.

However, as everything was finally nearing its end, an unbelievable scene unfolded: not only did the two people not ask for any reward, but they even offered to help you take away the mountain of garbage that had piled up in your house.

Faced with such a wonderful thing, who would dare to believe it?

As the saying goes, "All the world's hustle and bustle is for profit," so how can there be love and hate without a reason?

If so, it's definitely a trap!

Remember: what's free is always the most expensive.

The more generous Chi Ying and Lei Mang appeared, the deeper Zhu Xian's doubts became, and the less he dared to agree rashly.

Thinking of this, he said apologetically, "Oh dear! I am truly grateful that you two have gone to such lengths to come and help me! How could I let you leave empty-handed? If I did, I'm afraid all the wild beasts of this vast plain would condemn me!"

He paused briefly at this point, then continued earnestly, "Therefore, I have fully learned of and deeply remembered your noble character and generous deeds."

Although I, Zhu Xian, am merely a rustic country bumpkin, crude and uncouth, I am by no means someone who is ignorant of etiquette and shame!

Although my village of Noguchi-rei is also a poor and remote place, even if it costs me everything, I will do my utmost to give you both a satisfactory answer!

Upon hearing this, Lei Mang's last shred of patience was completely worn away.

His eyes widened in fury as he pointed directly at Zhu Xian's nose and began to curse: "You old bastard! Are you so determined to monopolize it all? Aren't you afraid that in the end you'll get nothing, that you'll have the life to get it but no fortune to enjoy it? Hmm?"

Lei Mang's merciless words completely confirmed Zhu Xian's suspicions.

It seems that this dying human must be hiding a rare treasure that even Akakage and the others are drooling over.

Otherwise, given Lei Mang's personality, he would never have held on so tightly.

With this in mind, Zhu Xian became even more determined not to back down.

Zhu Xian roared at the group from Yekou Ridge, "Where are my children?"

Its sound exploded in the air like thunder, making the surrounding leaves rustle.

Upon hearing Zhu Xian's call, Ling Qi and his group responded in unison without hesitation, "We are here!"

As soon as the words fell, these people flashed and flew towards Zhu Xian as swiftly as lightning.

They moved swiftly and gracefully, and in the blink of an eye, they were already standing there steadily, each with a solemn expression, ready for battle.

However, just as tensions were running high, something unexpected happened!

Kuang Zheng, who had been lying quietly on the ground without moving, suddenly vanished without a trace, like a ghost.

Akakage, who had been closely monitoring the surroundings, immediately noticed the abnormal fluctuations in the space thanks to her keen senses.

But the people of Noguchi Pass were filled with righteous indignation and were all eager to fight.

The resulting chaos made the situation extremely complex and difficult to control, to the point that although Akakage was aware of it, he was unable to respond immediately.

But by the time he finally managed to free his hand and prepare to make a move, he found it was already too late.

Because Kuang Zheng, who was lying on the ground, had vanished without a trace, leaving not even a trace of his breath.

"what!"

The roar of the Crimson Shadow caused a violent air fluctuation, and the people of Noguchi Ridge were caught off guard and were thrown to their knees.

This immediately caught the attention of Lei Mang and Zhu Xian, who saw only a pool of dark red blood on the ground, while Kuang Zheng was nowhere to be found.

This bizarre scene left both of them speechless with surprise.

Akakage, however, paid no attention to any of this. Seeing his prize slip away, he was furious.

But there was nowhere to vent this anger, because even if he killed everyone in Noguchi Ridge, it would be of no use.

Seeing Chi Ying's rapidly heaving chest, Lei Mang and Zhu Xian wisely kept their mouths shut.

Only then did everyone realize what was happening.

Faced with such a bizarre scene, everyone's faces showed horror.

They stared wide-eyed at the spot where Kuang Zheng had been standing, their hearts filled with disbelief.

To put it simply, the idea of ​​a living person disappearing into thin air right before their eyes is far beyond their comprehension.

For a moment, everyone stood frozen in place...
