Chapter 682 Brif's Self-Comfort
However, the Bull Demon King, still immersed in a blissful atmosphere, was unaware that trouble had already come knocking.
Meanwhile, Bulma and the others had already spotted the castle on the mountain in the distance.
"What an impressive castle! It seems this guy really has some strength. Otherwise, building such a castle in such a desolate place would probably lead to him being robbed every day."
Seeing this, Bulma also forgot about Oolong's exaggerated tone. It seems that this guy can be reliable sometimes.
A castle like this wouldn't be built without considerable resources.
The main problem is that in such a lawless area, people are robbed every day, and you have no way to ask for help.
Unless one is extremely confident in their own abilities, how could they possibly build such a castle?
"Of course I'm telling the truth, which is why I advised you not to come. But now that you're already here, it's too late to turn back."
Wulong shook his head angrily. He had already said everything he needed to say. If anything unexpected happened, he shouldn't be blamed for being the first to run away.
Anyway, if I turn into a bat and run in front, the Bull Demon King definitely won't chase me; he'll probably take care of the two guys behind me first.
No matter how he looked at it, he was sure nothing would happen to him, so Wulong didn't seem too scared at this point.
"What's the point of saying all this now? Our goal is clear: to find the Dragon Balls. And do you still want your freedom back?"
Bulma gave the guy a disgruntled look. He kept bolstering their arrogance, making it seem like their side was weak.
Regardless of Sun Wukong's strength, he already possessed quite a few weapons.
Dealing with such a guy would be a piece of cake, even if the Bull Demon King is highly skilled in martial arts.
But even the best martial arts skills are afraid of a kitchen knife, not to mention that she had heavy weapons on her side. Although she didn't carry many, she still brought some self-defense equipment.
After all, it's quite normal for someone like Brief, who is a PhD, an inventor, and a great scientist, to possess some rather lethal weapons.
"Of course I want freedom. You decide, I'm just following along."
Upon hearing this, Wulong lost a little confidence and almost forgot that he was still a prisoner.
If he argued with him any further, he might get slapped a few times, so Wulong wisely chose to shut up.
"Why is it hotter the closer we get to here? Don't they feel hot living up there?"
Sun Wukong wiped the sweat from his forehead, somewhat puzzled. Weren't these guys afraid of the heat?
Even he himself was finding it hard to withstand the temperature here, but the Bull Demon King they were talking about actually lived up there, where the temperature must be even higher.
This guy must be really skilled, otherwise how could he possibly live in such a harsh environment?
"I don't know about that. I only know that the Bull Demon King lives in the castle all year round, and he will demand money from anyone who passes by. If you want to pass, you have to pay a toll."
Wulong shook his head; he had no idea how the Bull Demon King managed to live in such a harsh environment.
All they knew was that the other party was very powerful, and anyone passing by would obediently pay some money to pass through.
After all, it's best not to offend the other party in a place like this. If you happen to be targeted by the Bull Demon King, you'll regret it later.
Paying money to avoid trouble is the simplest method.
"Never mind all that for now, let's go up and see what's going on. There really are Dragon Balls here."
Bulma looked a little excited at this moment, and she took out the Dragon Ball detector.
His expression became even more excited after the sign clearly stated that there was a Dragon Ball nearby.
It seems I made the right choice coming here. If I can get my hands on the Dragon Balls here, I'll only have four left.
That brings us one step closer to collecting all seven Dragon Balls.
"Wow, there really are Dragon Balls here! Let's do our best to get them."
Oolong was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that there really was a Dragon Ball in this place. They really had stumbled upon it by sheer luck.
Then his expression became somewhat excited, and he immediately thought of the scene where he would collect all seven Dragon Balls, summon Shenron, and have his heart's desire fulfilled.
He never imagined that the Dragon Balls had absolutely nothing to do with him.
...
At the Brive home.
When Brief learned that Bulma had actually sent a text message to Suzumiya Musashi asking for help, he became somewhat agitated.
"Really? But why didn't he contact me first? I'm his father, after all. Sigh."
Brief was somewhat disappointed, feeling like a failure. His daughter had run into trouble, and instead of seeking his help, she turned to someone else. This made him feel like a failure.
He was clearly a great inventor.
But I always feel that I'm not particularly proud of my achievements in front of my daughter anymore.
After all, when their daughter runs into trouble, the first person she contacts isn't herself, but an outsider.
This inevitably made Brief wonder if he was a little useless.
"I think Bulma only asked Mr. Musashi for help because she didn't want to bother you, right? You don't need to be too sad."
Blue-haired Lanqi, seeing Brief's expression, felt a pang of sympathy and offered a word of explanation, lest the guy be too heartbroken and she would have to spare some time to take care of him.
"Yes, that must be it. My daughter is so thoughtful. She's afraid of bothering me, so she won't ask me for help. Haha, that must be it."
Brief nodded quickly, indicating that this was definitely the case.
Seeing this guy trying to comfort himself, Suzumiya Musashi shook his head helplessly. This guy was really a bit obsessed.
Does having a daughter always turn you into this?
"But Bulma hasn't sent a second text message yet. It seems like she hasn't encountered any serious trouble. Oh well, we'll see how things go and see if we should go over."
Suzumiya Musashi checked his phone but couldn't find a second text message, which made him wonder if the other party had encountered any serious trouble.
If that's the case, then there's no need for me to take action.
But after glancing at Karin Uzumaki and Launch Blue's expectant eyes, she still didn't reveal her plans. Perhaps sometimes changing one's requirements isn't so bad.
After all, it's been a long time since I've taken them out.
