Chapter 1033: Chapter 643: Unresolved
“You… is your blood a bit too badass? Even the legendary Death’s Eye is afraid of your blood…” After a long while, Wu Dao finally whispered to Liu Hun with a dazed expression.
“I don’t know what’s going on either…” Liu Hun chuckled bitterly, feeling somewhat worried.
Although, according to the current situation, it indeed counted as a good thing for them.
But the stronger this matter was, the more it worried Liu Hun. After all, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
“Wait, could this be the legendary Bloodline Power?” Wu Dao suddenly seemed to remember something, staring at Liu Hun in shock, eyes filled with disbelief.
“Bloodline Power?” Liu Hun frowned slightly. Being a doctor, he naturally had heard of such a thing.
“Bloodline Power is inherent. Mine formed afterwards, so it shouldn’t have much to do with this.” After contemplating for a while, Liu Hun slowly said to Wu Dao.
“It seems you know too little about these matters. In this world, aside from inherently possessing Bloodline Power, even if it’s acquired later, it still counts as one type. And the scariest thing is, acquired Bloodline Power is more terrifying than inherent!” Wu Dao’s eyes gleamed as he spoke to Liu Hun.
Liu Hun didn’t want to argue with Wu Dao about Bloodline Power, because only Liu Hun himself knew the true nature of his blood.
Seeing Liu Hun not speaking, Wu Dao mistakenly thought Liu Hun agreed with him. Therefore, Wu Dao started making plans in his mind.
People who possess Bloodline Power will definitely not be ordinary in the future. In that case, making friends with Liu Hun now might be useful later.
At this moment, Wu Dao felt fortunate that he had followed Liu Hun in earlier. If it had been someone else, wouldn’t it have benefited them?
“Anyway, at least it’s a good thing for us now.” After speaking, Liu Hun took a deep breath and directly cut open his finger.
A stream of pitch-black blood slowly flowed out. Liu Hun didn’t hesitate at all, directly rubbing the blood onto Wu Dao’s body.
After finishing this, Liu Hun’s face was slightly pale, as it cost him a lot of blood to cover Wu Dao from head to toe.
“Liu Hun, you’ve got yourself a brother. In the future, if there’s anything, just tell me, and I won’t hesitate. I’ll remember this favor!” At this moment, Wu Dao said to Liu Hun somewhat emotionally.
After all, this blood was Liu Hun’s. If Liu Hun hadn’t helped, Wu Dao would have been helpless. But Liu Hun did help, spending his blood for him.
“Stop with the useless words. You think I helped you to save you? If it weren’t for us being on the same boat and needing your help later, I wouldn’t have saved you!” Liu Hun rolled his eyes. He didn’t value Wu Dao’s promise.
Opportunities to abandon allies are numerous in this world. No matter how good Wu Dao’s promise is, it’s just for survival. Once this crisis is dealt with, nobody knows what will happen.
“Hehe, look at your words, not trusting me, eh!” Wu Dao smiled awkwardly, understanding Liu Hun’s thoughts but saying nothing more.
After all, some things can’t just be talked out. Words won’t cut it when actions are needed.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Hun continued, “You follow me closely later. I’m immune to these things. Once we break through, we’ll rush out!” Liu Hun said, without any hesitation, rushing forward.
As soon as Liu Hun and Wu Dao charged forward, vines swiftly whipped toward them, but some vines hesitated and retracted just before touching Wu Dao.
Wu Dao was covered in Liu Hun’s blood, so the vines dared not touch him easily.
However, some parts of Liu Hun were blood-free, so the vines whipped at him.
Seeing this, Wu Dao, noticing the vines’ fear of him, didn’t hesitate and approached Liu Hun, drawing a Soft Sword from his waist and hacking at the vines.
This time, with no worries, they managed to hack open a breach despite spending some time.
Without hesitation, they charged through the gap.
Once they made it through the gap, seeing more vines and Death’s Eye ahead, they continued charging forward without hesitation.
Nearly half an hour later, they arrived at a small creek, looking back at the forest with some apprehension.
In the forest, there were all Death’s Eyes. Had it been someone else, they’d likely be dead by now. It was only Liu Hun’s blood that saved them this time.
“If I had known it would be like this, I shouldn’t have listened to you before, heading to this ghostly place. Now, great, not only are we getting farther away from the southeast direction, but we also don’t know how to go back!” Liu Hun exhaled a turbid breath, saying somewhat gloomily to Wu Dao.
Regarding Liu Hun’s complaint, Wu Dao also looked a bit embarrassed. To be honest, it was indeed his fault; if it weren’t for him, probably neither of them would have fallen to the current predicament.
“Well, Liu Hun bro, it’s not entirely my fault, right? After all, I didn’t know it would be so dangerous here. Besides, aren’t we doing fine now? As long as we’re alive, there’s hope, right?” Wu Dao comforted Liu Hun.
In face of Wu Dao’s comfort, Liu Hun rolled his eyes but was thinking about the matter in his mind.
The reason he came here was to help Lao Bai seize the Nine Nether Cold Ice. Now, he’s getting farther from the southeast direction, and if Qin Tao and the others find it first, the Nine Nether Cold Ice will be in trouble.
“By the way, Liu Hun bro, did you come here this time to seize the Xuan Fire?” Seeing Liu Hun didn’t answer, Wu Dao couldn’t help but continue to ask him.
“I came for the Nine Nether Cold Ice.” Liu Hun didn’t conceal much about this matter. After all, it wasn’t a big deal, so he just directly told Wu Dao.
“Nine Nether Cold Ice? Although it has some use, compared to the Xuan Fire, it’s far inferior. You’re risking such a big danger just to seize that thing?” Wu Dao looked at Liu Hun somewhat dumbfounded.
He never thought Liu Hun would risk his life just to seize the Nine Nether Cold Ice; it’s really absurd.
“Without the Nine Nether Cold Ice, the Xuan Fire cannot be preserved. So for me to seize the Nine Nether Cold Ice, I must also seize the Xuan Fire.” Liu Hun said somewhat gloomily.
He knew everyone was here to vie for the Xuan Fire, but he happened to have little interest in it. Instead, to seize the Nine Nether Cold Ice, he must seize the Xuan Fire; causing public outrage isn’t a joke.
“Perhaps you can seize the Xuan Fire.” Wu Dao pondered for a moment, then looked seriously at Liu Hun before speaking slowly.
“What do you mean?” Liu Hun looked at Wu Dao, intuition telling him that this guy had more behind his words, and there were certainly some inside stories.
As for this matter, Liu Hun only heard about it from Lao Bai, so truth be told, he knew nothing.
“Because, to tell the truth, not many people are interested in vying for the Xuan Fire this time. Simply put, if they can seize it, they will, and if they can’t, they won’t mind; and do you really think everyone spent so much and faced so many dangers just for the Xuan Fire?” Wu Dao said lightly.
“So your actual purpose isn’t the Xuan Fire but something else?” Liu Hun finally realized, his eyes narrowing slightly.
“What else did you think? Anyway, since we have a life-and-death friendship, I don’t mind telling you; the main purpose of everyone’s visit this time is to seize a weapon!” Wu Dao said, his eyes flashing with a bit of brilliance.
“A weapon?” At this moment, Liu Hun was somewhat dazed.
“Yes, a weapon claimed to be left by Chi You in Ancient Times, incredibly evil but can unleash terrifying power once possessed; thus, it is everyone’s main objective!” Wu Dao directly revealed the truth to Liu Hun.
“So, according to you, the thing you want to vie for is Chi You’s weapon, not the Xuan Fire? And I have a big chance to get the Xuan Fire, right?” Liu Hun frowned slightly, having no interest in the weapon of Chi You, the War God, as his main purpose was the Nine Nether Cold Ice.
If he could get the Xuan Fire as an extra, it would be a reward for this trip.
“That’s why I’m saying, later I could help you seize the Xuan Fire. But as for Chi You’s War God’s weapon, you have to help me seize it at that time. Many don’t care whether it’s evil, as long as they gain power, that’s enough. But I was ordered by my family to bring this weapon back; if I can’t, destroying it would be a good deed.” Wu Dao said seriously in the end.
Looking at Wu Dao’s earnest face, Liu Hun could feel the guy wasn’t lying.
“If you can help me seize the Xuan Fire and Nine Nether Cold Ice, I could agree to it, but let’s make it clear; since it’s just the two of us, I can’t do much.” Liu Hun finished, not forgetting to remind Wu Dao.
So this old guy doesn’t accuse him of not helping out later.
“Rest assured, I won’t blame you; just stand by my side, cheering is fine.” Wu Dao said, a meaningful smile appearing on his face, as he spoke to Liu Hun.
With this, Liu Hun could tell, Wu Dao was trying to win him over, but he didn’t say much more about it; anyway, it’s only beneficial to him in the present.
As for future matters, they can be handled later.
“Come out, having eavesdropped for so long, haven’t you had enough?” Just after Wu Dao finished speaking and Liu Hun nodded, he moved to the side of the creek, washed off the grime on his body, then turned to speak slowly to the woods not far away.
With Liu Hun’s words, Wu Dao was slightly taken aback. The next moment, he realized as well, his face showing a slightly chilly look. He hadn’t expected that while he was talking with Liu Hun, someone had been eavesdropping secretly; such a thing was something Wu Dao couldn’t tolerate.
