Chapter 132 - Done Deal

Chapter 132: Done Deal

Pointing to the end of the forest in the West, Hai Tianqing said, “The supply point of the arsenal is very close to the Space Gate.”

Jiang Xiao raised his head and looked into the distance, only to see a vast, boundless and dense forest.

Jiang Xiao thought to himself secretly, At least, there are some wood resources.

He could imagine that there must be some arsenals like this used by China in unknown places.

At the thought of China being a vast and resourceful country, Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but feel extremely proud. While there were risks, there were also benefits. He thought about the developing Dimensional Spaces in China and how many benefits they would bring to China.

He again thought about the land mines in South Korea and North Korea.

Uh…

Forget it, I’d better not think about it.

“The environment here is much better than in the snowfield.” Xia Yan looked in the distance and glanced at the wooden houses at the edge of the forest. “The pathetic guardians in the snowfield can only look for caves to hide in. It’s so much better here. There are wooden houses here too.”

“So this is why the supply point is so close to the Space Door,” Jiang Xiao remarked.

Li Weiyi glanced at Hai Tianqing and asked, “Shall we go there and take a look? Shall we get familiar with the environment there?”

“I think we’d better not disturb those guardians and let them leave their time for those who really need help. We’re ready. Let’s go to the forest and take a look. Let’s see if there are any creatures of other dimensions in this vast grassland.”

As the crowd walked towards the forest, they began to get a clearer view of the guards’ base camp.

Xia Yan suddenly said, “That wooden house looks really exquisite. Ah, there’s a treehouse too!”

Han Jiangxue followed Xia Yan’s gaze but ignored the beautiful treehouse. Instead, she noticed the flag with the red stars flying high in the sky above.

The sky here was not too dark, so the red flag was not made of special material and was exactly the same as the Chinese flag on Earth.

Everyone felt much safer after seeing the flag.

The team entered the forest and trod West for more than half an hour, after which Hai Tianqing stopped in his tracks.

Hai Tianqing said, “From now on, we’ll be following closely behind you guys. Take note of all the instructions that I give you. Don’t act rashly.”

No one in the team answered, making Hai Tianqing feel a little awkward.

Han Jiangxue said, “2-1-1.”

Hai Tianqing felt even more awkward.

In order to get rid of the awkwardness, Jiang Xiao gave Hai Tianqing a Blessing.

He had successfully found a solution to break the awkwardness, and that was to make Hai Tianqing feel even more awkward, so as to forget the awkwardness of being ignored.

Hai Tianqing had always liked squinting, so he finally found a chance to do it.

Under the bright ray of light from Blessing, he squinted his eyes and formed a straight line.

He began to make strange sounds too.

Upon hearing the peculiar noise, Li Weiyi shivered and grabbed the long-handled hammer from Han Jiangxue, after which he took a huge stride forward.

Han Jiangxue took out another giant sword from Sky Smasher and handed it to Xia Yan, gesturing for her to catch up with Li Weiyi.

Jiang Xiao leaned in too and grabbed another giant sword.

Although it was also a giant sword, it was much lighter than Xia Yan’s because it was made of wood.

Han Jiangxue glared at Jiang Xiao coldly and strode away again. She repeated, “2-1-1.”

“Got it,” Jiang Xiao answered while holding the giant wooden sword behind his back.

Don’t you just want me to stay away from you?

Women always say one thing but mean another.

You clearly love me so much…

Of course, Jiang Xiao dared not say those words out loud and merely thought about it in his head. He was scared that the husky Xia Yan would insult him.

Jiang Xiao finally understood it.

In order to get the princess, he would first have to get rid of her female knight.

It seemed to be a game of clearing levels.

He had to step on the switch to lower the suspension bridge and throw the horrendous Xia Yan into the flames in order to live happily ever after with the princess.

In front, Li Weiyi left a carving on the tree and entered the dense forest together with the rest. The deeper they got into the woods, the dimmer it got.

“There’s something happening there,” said Xia Yan, who had a sharp vision.

Li Weiyi subconsciously stood up and hid behind the tree.

Two heads popped up on the left and right sides of the huge tree and looked out.

“The Ape Ghoul,” Xia Yan said softly.

“This is much larger than the White Ghoul. It’s at least two meters wider,” Li Weiyi said with a nod as he felt shocked deep down.

He had seen photos of Ape Ghouls before and was also aware of their fighting habits and characteristics. He had also watched videos about fighting Ape Ghouls on the internet.

However, when the living monster appeared in front of him, he felt extremely surreal. It was a feeling that he would never get behind the screen.

The Ape Ghoul was about two meters tall, but visually, it seemed much more terrifying than a two-meter tall human.

It was because its shoulders were too broad and its body was too large in size.

Unlike the White Ghouls, its fur was not long and was completely brown.

Its arms were buff and sturdy, and its large muscles were absolutely daunting. Although it could walk upright, its long and thick arms were long enough to touch the ground, making them look just like gorillas walking in the forest.

The problem was, did they have to walk?

Weren’t they supposed to float around on the trees?

Besides, why did they seem to be staggering and muttering or howling incessantly?

Clearly, the Ape Ghoul was trying its best to control the sounds it was making. Perhaps it was fatigued, perhaps it was injured, or perhaps, it could be another reason. Somehow, it didn’t seem to be as maniacal as ordinary beasts. Instead, it seemed to be restraining itself.

“Ape Ghouls live in clusters. Have you seen his companion?” Li Weiyi asked, seemingly deep in thought.

“No, but… I saw someone.” Xia Yan licked her lips as her eyes glistened, looking green with envy.

Envy?

“Someone? What are you talking about?” Li Weiyi asked in shock.

“Your two o’clock,” said Xia Yan.

Li Wei looked forward and towards the right. After thinking for a long while, he finally saw a faint figure in the lush patch of grass beside the giant tree that was far away from them.

Xia Yan hid behind a tree and hurriedly made a hand sign.

Behind them, Han Jiangxue and Jiang Xiao crouched down and looked around vigilantly.

The so-called 2-1-1 formation was also destroyed. According to Xia Yan’s hand gesture, Han Jiangxue and Jiang Xiao quickly moved up and hid behind a giant tree beside her.

“I don’t think it’s human,” Xia Yan whispered to Han Jiangxue.

Jiang Xiao looked in the direction that they were staring at and felt amazed by the figure’s ability to hide so well. Had he not observed carefully, he probably wouldn’t have discovered it.

Even though Jiang Xiao knew the location and looked closely, he could only see the lush, swaying grass.

Finally, the Ape Ghoul roared and stood still, no longer swaying around unsteadily.

It struck its huge and buff arm against the ground while roaring.

At the same time, someone stood up in front of the Ape Ghoul.

Yes, someone.

It was a man of about 1.8 meters tall and holding a stone knife in his hand, with his chest and back bare. He was also wearing nothing except a pair of shorts made with animal skin.

His skin was brown and he had long and black hair, which he pulled back into a ponytail. He had a menacing expression on his face and he seemed to have stopped hiding, after which he sauntered towards the Ape Ghoul and hollered at it.

Jiang Xiao felt like he had seen his own kind.

Isn’t this a damned human?

Also, he seems to be yellow-skinned.

At the mention of yellow-skinned people, most people would think of East Asians. In fact, the man in front of them was just like an American aboriginal.

From head to toe, his eyes, which were glistening with a purple light, was the only outstanding feature that could distinguish the creature of another dimension from a real native American aboriginal.

Those purple eyes were bizarre, peculiar, and extremely terrifying.

Even in the deeper parts of the forest which were not too dim, those eyes still emitted peculiar rays of light that attracted the attention of others. In fact, to a certain extent, it was also a reminder for the humans that those strange people were actual creatures of other dimensions.

The Ape Ghoul’s huge eyes were fixed on the man wielding the stone knife as it howled and growled hysterically.

Just as the Ape Ghoul managed to catch some attention, a few figures secretly crawled up in the forest diagonally behind them.

This time, it was a bevy of women.

Their hairstyles were all different. Some had their tresses all over the place, some had ponytails, some were wearing bandanas, while some had their hair in braids.

Similarly, their appearances and styles were also different. Some were wearing clothing that was similar to leather armor, some were wearing leather made out of the skin of the Ape Ghouls, while most were barely covered, with their clothes all tattered and torn.

Besides, the women had hot and attractive figures, which was the reason for Xia Yan’s envy.

Jiang Xiao, hiding behind the tree, was completely stunned and thought, Why do they look different from the photos in the books?

The man wielding the stone knife was rather similar to the photos in the books. He was buff and his eyes were extremely shrewd, yet sinister and demonic.

Are they female archers?

Do… Do you guys not know how to wear any clothes?

Impressive.

Oh, dear…

I’m still a kid!

Who can take this?

“Li Weiyi,” Jiang Xiao called silently after swallowing his saliva.

Li Weiyi turned around and stared at Jiang Xiao hiding in the forest. “What’s the matter?”

Jiang Xiao muttered, “I’m done. How about you?”

Li Weiyi remained silent.

At the next moment, Han Jiangxue smacked Jiang Xiao on the back of his head…
