“W-what? To Hongyan Forest? Do you think I’m crazy enough to get myself killed?!” Luodeng blurted out.
Tang Susu smiled. “It’s fine if you don’t want to go. Yesterday…”
“Wait! Let me think about it. Going there is no joke. There are many mutated plants. They invade our village and kill many of our people, despite the great distance between us.”
Luodeng’s parents and siblings nodded in unison, their slightly dark and rough faces full of worry.
A thin man scratched his head, his face a little red. “I can! I can go there with you. I’m good at hunting and I’m the best in the village!”
Eighth immediately looked at him with hostility.
“What’s your name?” Tang Susu asked.
“Doje Cedain, you can call me Doje!”
Tang Susu could tell that he might like her a little. Speaking of which, she had suddenly managed to catch the telltale signs. In the past, she would never have thought of this.
Since she knew, she wouldn’t give him any false hope. She had her own considerations for letting Luodeng accompany her.
Doje understood what she meant and was a little disappointed.
Luodeng quickly thought about the proposal, but not that he had never thought about it in the first place. He had overcome his fear and was mentally prepared for failure.
Just as he was about to tell her his condition…
“I’m not asking you to come with us for nothing.” Tang Susu spoke first.
Mr. Tang and his two brothers looked at her because she had already taken out a big bag.
“This is the Crystal Core. This will be the reward for accompanying us into the Hongyan Forest.” She casually took one out.
The crowd instantly gasped!
“A… A T4 crystal core! Miss Tang, did you take the wrong one?”
“You can’t get one of these, no matter the price you’re willing to pay. If you don’t have a T3 crystal core… 1… I can use my T3 crystal core to exchange it with you…”
The person who said that was more or less trying to take advantage of him. After all, he himself had said that T4 crystal cores were priceless.
However, he felt that he would rather take advantage of it himself instead of giving it to this brat who had tricked them yesterday!
Everyone in the village looked at each other. Crystal core? T4? T3? What was that?
“Isn’t this just a broken stone!” Luodeng suspected they were putting on a show and deliberately made the rock look very important. It probably was just a broken stone.
He was a little angry. “Do you think we didn’t go to school just because we live in the countryside? 1 finished junior high school too!”
“I want two trucks’ worth of supplies!” He pointed at the two biggest trucks covered with red-colored canvas.
He didn’t know how they drove the trucks that were dozens of meters long. The others were naive and thought that it was empty. However, he knew that those big trucks were so heavy that they seemed to crush the road. They were filled with supplies!
Tang Susu’s subordinate immediately flew into a rage. “Don’t push your luck! Miss Tang knows a lot. She just wants to help you indirectly, but you want so much of our supplies?”
“Do you know it took us one whole month, thousands of kilometers, countless difficulties, and the death of many of us to gather all these supplies? Do you know how much effort Miss Tang and the others have put in for this?”
How would Luodeng know? He had only seen that they had an absurd amount of supplies! At least three times more than all the things that they had managed to gather so far!
Originally, he didn’t want so much. It was all because they had looked down on them first!
Seeing that the hothead was about to quarrel with someone, the village chief quickly stopped him. “Luodeng, you’ve indeed crossed the line!”
He then turned to Tang Susu. “But Miss Tang, the danger of the Hongyan Forest is unimaginable. Our Luodeng is a good, young man…”
He revealed a troubled expression and hesitated to speak.
Tang Susu knew he was too embarrassed to refuse their request. He didn’t want Luodeng to accompany them.
She held up the transparent crystal core in her hand. “Luodeng, 1 hope you can consider carefully what is the most precious thing to you.”
Tang Susu gave him a look and the others immediately understood.
In the next half a minute, the village, which had been isolated from the world, had the most shocking moment of their lives!
Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, lightning, ice, and wind… The Metahumans all displayed their abilities!
Gold, blue, green, red, purple… The invisible winds made the accessories they were wearing rattle.. A wintry breath would reach for the ground they were standing on, but, all these supernatural happenings disappeared!
