Chapter 4053 The Disguise of the Black Stone

The Li Chao we knew before was incredibly arrogant, looking down on everyone, and sometimes even being quite presumptuous in front of Grandpa Zhang.

But these past few days, he's been with us and has thoroughly learned our methods. We helped the people of Nie'er Kingdom deal with Longzhi, gained the trust of the chieftain, captured the king of the Di Kingdom, escorted us out of that water area, and to the Changgu Kingdom, where we outsmarted the giant python, making the Bengka chieftain extremely grateful to us and give us a token that saved our lives.

These methods are both courageous and resourceful, and often yield the greatest results at the lowest cost.

However, if it were just Zhiqing Zhenren and Li Chao, let alone Changgu Kingdom, they probably wouldn't even be able to get past the Di people's kingdom.

In today's underworld, you definitely need strength and connections, but even more important is having brains.

Especially in a space like the Fire Domain, no one cares if you're from Longhu Mountain or Maoshan Sect. If you show up on their territory, they'll kill you. So, the most important thing is to be smart, to be able to see through people's hearts, and to move flexibly among all kinds of people to survive in the cracks.

Unless they possess the formidable strength of my master or Ge Yu, they can disregard such risks and crush their way through without anyone being able to stop them.

If you don't have their strength, you must keep a low profile. A true man can bend and stretch. When you should back down, you should back down. When you should be brave, you should forge ahead without hesitation and be the only one who can stand firm. Only then can you remain invincible.

We briefly discussed the upcoming itinerary before crawling into our tents to sleep, with Meiling and Qiannian Gu continuing to observe our surroundings.

However, I don't think it's a big deal. This is a vast, desolate desert, without even grass, completely unsuitable for human habitation. There shouldn't be any Maoist people here.

I lay in the tent and drifted off to sleep, not knowing how much time had passed.

Then, after an unknown amount of time, a cool sensation appeared between my brows. I opened my eyes and saw Meiling's pretty face appear before me again.

However, the spirit's expression was somewhat solemn at this moment.

Before she could speak, I asked, "What's wrong? Has something happened?"

The spirit nodded and said, "I feel like something's not right. You saw those black stones outside earlier, right? I feel like they're moving, like they're slowly getting closer to us..."

Hearing Meiling say this, I was also a little confused, so I got up and went outside the tent with Meiling.

Once outside, I observed the surrounding scenery, and it didn't seem to have changed much since we went to sleep.

The spirit reminded me to keep my eyes fixed on those stones.

I stared at some black stones not far away and observed them for five or six minutes.

At that moment, I realized the problem that the spirit had mentioned. Those black stones were indeed moving towards us, but they were moving very slowly.

Some stones remained stationary, while others moved slowly.

I took another closer look and noticed that there seemed to be more black stones around me than before.

Seeing this, I quickly went to the slovenly Taoist priest's tent and gently woke them up.

Hearing the commotion, the slovenly Taoist priest and the Pure Immortal quickly woke up. Just as they were about to come out of the tent, I told them not to move and to wait and see what happened. If we all came out of the tent, we might alert the enemy.

So I waited a while longer, about ten minutes, and then I noticed that the black stones seemed to be getting closer to us.

When the dozen or so black stones were still more than ten meters away from us, they suddenly became much taller.

It was only then that I realized, damn it, that these black stones weren't stones at all, but a group of people covered in black hair.

These people were quite large, each looking like a bear, with only their dark eyes showing, blending into the night.

From a distance, it's impossible to tell whether it's a rock in the Gobi Desert or a person...

But once they got up, it became easy to tell. The key thing was that they were holding some large black blades and rushed straight towards us.

Holy crap, these guys covered in black hair must be from Mao Min Guo!

Seeing these people suddenly pounce on them, the Blood God Gu was the first to act, attacking several people from the Maomin Kingdom.

Strangely, the Blood God Gu couldn't control those people from the Mao Min Kingdom. I guess it's because their black fur was too thick, and the Blood God Gu couldn't penetrate their flesh at all.

Then, I raised my hand, activated the talisman blade hidden in my sleeve, and unleashed two strikes, hitting the two Mao Mingguo men who rushed forward.

As I unleashed the hidden talisman blade, I shouted for them to come out immediately.

The Blood God Gu couldn't do anything to them, but my hidden talisman blades were no joke. Two talisman blades flew out and instantly turned the two Mao Min Kingdom guys into a bloody mess, with blood splattering everywhere.

However, more and more people from Mao's Republic of China were rapidly rushing towards us.

Before long, Master Zhiqing and the slovenly Taoist priest emerged from their tents. When they came out and saw so many monsters covered in black hair rushing towards them, they were dumbfounded.

However, everyone took out their weapons, ready to fight to the death with these Mao Minguo people who attacked us.

These guys are really clever. They disguised themselves as black stones on the Gobi Desert and slowly approached us, as if they were planning to catch us off guard.

Thankfully, Meiling discovered the disguises of these Mao Min people. If they had waited until they got close enough to strike, some of our people might have actually been ambushed.

Suddenly, a huge, dark mass of Maoist people appeared from all directions, probably two or three hundred, rushing towards them like madmen.

At this point, I stopped being polite and brandished the Shengxie Sword in my hand, quickly conjuring twenty or thirty giant ice men that charged directly at the Maomin people. At the same time, I took out the Dragon Tiger Mirror and had Xiao Haitang release a large number of Yin soldiers and generals.

I feel that these Mao Minguo people in front of me are not very strong, and those ghost soldiers and generals can handle them.

After Li Chao came out, he immediately activated his flying sword. The flying sword seemed to have a soul, and it flew out on its own, quickly weaving through the crowd and killing Maomin people on the spot.

(Keep it up, everyone! It'll be eleventh soon!)
