Chapter 134: The Story Changed Again?!
Yesterday a member of the Infernopany had stumbled upon a corpse that had been decaying for several years. On the body was a sheet of iron. The Yiduo n saw it as well, but didnt know what it was at the time.
Operating under the principle of never letting go of something once they saw it, in order to keep the prize and split it evenly amongst themselves, the group of seven didnt hesitate to stab the Inferno member in the back. The mercenarypany was huge with well over three hundred members, so they werent to be trifled with. Killing the guy was the best way to cover their tracks.
But just as they were in the process of killing him -seven on one- Cohens squad appeared. There were many veterans in his squad so, in the end they were the ones outnumbered. While they were fleeing, some of the Inferno members blood dripped onto the sheet and revealed the map. The Yidou n saw the tombs location and realized what the iron sheet was for.
The Infernopany didnt know what the iron sheet was for; had they known they would not have let the seven people from the Yiduo n off with just a beating.
This veered from the original plot. Originally the group of seven were not captured by the mercenarypany and had instead met up with their own Yiduo n. The n would find the gods tomb and eventually lose the key to Zi Cheng.
Unfortunately for them the script changed with Feng Wus appearance. The Infernopany were able to take back the iron sheet, thus changing everything that happened afterwards.
As a matter of fact, if the seven people had sessfully killed the guy from the Infernopany, the tomb would never have been made public. But since the plot changed and the Yiduo n lost the iron sheet, the n purposefully circted the rumors about the tomb.
They were angry at having to eat the loss from the Infernopany. If they couldnt get it, then they would try their best to make it difficult for their rival.
By the time the Infernopany finished preparations to raid the tomb, news of it had spread throughout the battlegrounds.
Feng Wus group didnt know any of this insider information. Luis was gathering information from the youth that had approached them.
Both the matter of the keys being in the Infernopanys possession and the tombs location were spread at the same time? Ai Lin thought the whole thing was suspicious.
We wondered if the rumors were circting because the Inferno group offended someone. Its exactly the kind of rumor that would band adventurers together to oppose them. But after further observations, we surmised that the key may truly be held by the Inferno group after all.
The person who spread the rumor initially may have been telling the truth. After we verified it, manyrge mercenary groups began making, or tried to make connections with the Infernopany. Currently, there are a few around the general area and a few more around the entrance of the tomb.
Its definitely because they worked out an agreement of some type.
Luis smiled and thanked the brother for the information. If it werent for you, we wouldnt know the situation.
You dont have to be so polite. Itsmon knowledge and not a secret at all. The young man waved his hand dismissively.
Feng Wu tugged at Jiers shirt. Uncertain and a bit distressed she asked, Jier, should we go in?
Jier turned down to look at her. Do you want to go?
Its just that the tomb is very dangerous. Feng Wu read a lot of books so she knew what a gods tomb was. It was something gods built as their final resting ce. There would be treasure, but there would also be danger.
Feng Wu puckered her lips thoughtfully as she looked over at Ming Xi.
Feeling her gaze, Ming Xi turned to her and gave her a slight, gentle nod.
Dont go in if youre so afraid of dying. No one asked you to go. Yifu hated Feng Wu the most. The two had shed early on and the divide between them only deepened with time. It was at a point where it was impossible for them to get along.
Feng Wus suspicion of Zi Cheng earlier only added fuel to the fire. Yifu''s anger was off the charts.
Shut up or die. Jier nced at her disdainfully as he spoke. He didnt bother trying to hide the maliciousness in his eyes.
Youre a sessor to one of the four season gods! How can you threaten a girl like that?! Yifu didnt believe him.
It was a good thing Jier was fast. He activated a silence spell the moment she opened her mouth. Otherwise she would have spilled his identity to everyone.
Yifu! How irresponsible of you. How could you reveal Jiers identity like that? Ai Lin wanted to get into Jiers good graces so she jumped right in.
I didnt say anything wrong! Why should his identity by a secret?! Why cant I say it? Yifu countered. She didnt appreciate Ai Lins nosiness.
Ah! Could it be Jier is afraid if his identity is exposed, people will know he used his powers to embarrass a ssmate? Jasmine joined in. She still had a grudge against Jier for using illusion magic to humiliate her so she naturally sided with Yifu.
