They had collected quite a few weapons along the way.
These weapons were all left behind by the Zhang family’s ancestors from those days, and were all pretty good weapons.
At least in Zhang Bei’s eyes, these weapons were far superior to the ones they had encountered before.
However, the little guy hadn’t gotten any weapons along the way.
“It seems like I’ll have to make the little guy a custom weapon when we get back,” Zhang Bei thought to himself.
That golden word-bar “Divine Machine Refining” hadn’t been used to its full potential.
As for materials, Zhang Bei wasn’t worried, these weapons could be re-melted to recover quite a few good ores.
And there were also some top-grade forging ores in the Zhang family, such as “Black Gold” and “Meteorite Iron”.
Led by the little guy, they soon came to a cliff face.
“So cold!”
Zhang Hai Xing shivered uncontrollably.
She was a woman after all, and more sensitive to the cold.
“What in the world is this place?” Zhang Hai Ke asked.
The little guy looked at the abyss ahead with a serious expression.
“I don’t know what place it is either, after the old Patriarch saved me, he brought me here.
After placing me here, they went down, saying they were going to set up a death trap.
I then followed this cliff to find a hole and escaped.”
The little guy pointed to a small path faintly visible on the side of the cliff.
Everyone gasped, it was hard to imagine how a child of a few years old could have escaped from here.
How did he return to the Northeast?
It was just a child of a few years old.
“What happened later?” Zhang Bei asked.
The little guy glanced at Zhang Bei before saying, “Later I met the Tibetan doctor from the escort team.
She sent me to Guang Xi to stay for a few years so I wouldn’t be persecuted, and then I came back.”
“No wonder I didn’t see you for those few years,” Zhang Bei said.
The Guang Xi mentioned by the little guy should be Ba Nai, it was unexpected that he had to leave for a foreign land at such a young age.
He avoided persecution by his family and only returned in the last few years.
No wonder the little guy was so cold, anyone who was captured as a blood slave as a child.
Who was afraid of being persecuted by his family and forced to leave home.
If it were anyone else they would have gone mad.
Zhang Bei knew that if it were anyone else asking, the little guy probably wouldn’t say a word.
But he was his friend, so he was willing to share with him.
“Why didn’t you say it before?”
Zhang Hai Xing was still a woman, and relatively more sentimental.
The little guy just shook his head, unwilling to answer the question.
“Why are you saying it now?” Zhang Hai Ke asked.
The little guy pointed at Zhang Bei and said, “He asked.”
Everyone’s mouths twitched, so he would say it if Zhang Bei asked.
If they asked, would he not say anything?
“Alright, what do we do now?”
Zhang Bei felt happy in his heart.
Look, they were friends, the only friend in his family.
Zhang Bei was naturally happy to be recognized by the little guy, who was like an iceberg.
“What should we do now?” Zhang Jiu Ri asked.
The little guy pointed to the cliff below and said, “I’m going down.”
“Then we’ll go down with you.” Zhang Nian said.
The little guy shook his head and said, “You guys can still go back and live, and you can still complete the Wild Release.”
“What about you?” Zhang Hai Ke asked.
The little guy didn’t answer, but directly jumped down the cliff.
The little guy was a man of action, he wouldn’t be so verbose with you.
The saying that villains die by talking too much didn’t apply to the little guy.
Seeing the little guy go like that, everyone was dumbfounded.
However, as they watched the little guy descend, they also noticed that there were a lot of chains within the cliff.
“Haha! If the two of us are still alive, then see you in the family.”
Zhang Bei laughed and said.
Then Zhang Bei jumped down after the little guy.
When Zhang Bei landed on a chain, he discovered that it was quite smooth.
“Fire oil!”
Zhang Bei sniffed and was a little surprised.
He didn’t expect that these densely packed chains were actually filled with a lot of fire oil.
If anyone accidentally lit a fire, the entire valley would turn into a sea of flames.
The cliff was at least a hundred meters high, it was hard to imagine how many chains there were within the cliff.
Fortunately, it was cold enough here, otherwise these chains would have been ignited long ago.
“Why did you come down?”
When Zhang Bei reached the bottom of the cliff, the little guy heard the movement and asked.
“I said I would help you,” Zhang Bei shrugged.
As soon as he finished speaking, the other four followed him down.
“Little ghost, we don’t want to be ungrateful, and besides, we are the Scorpion Squad,”
Zhang Jiu Ri looked at the little guy with a smile in his eyes.
The little guy didn’t say anything more, his face remained impassive.
But Zhang Bei could still tell that the little guy’s emotions were a little stirred, perhaps excitement.
“What do you need us to do? Just give us a shout.” Zhang Hai Xing said generously.
The little guy turned around and pointed to a dark area in the distance at the bottom of the valley.
“The old Patriarch’s boat is up ahead, and the death trap he made is there.
The death trap the old Patriarch made is extremely dangerous, be careful or you will be doomed, be cautious.”
Everyone’s expressions were solemn, they naturally understood that since it was a death trap specifically set up by the old Patriarch.
Then there would be no one who could safely get through it.
“If you go back now, it’s still in time, once you enter, it’s not like you can just leave if you want to.”
The little guy spoke again.
“What do you think we are?” Zhang Nian said angrily.
This guy was quick to show his emotions, and thought the little guy looked down on them.
“Let’s go! Whether it’s a dragon’s pond or a tiger’s den, we have to give it a try, I promised you that I would help you get the Sky Staff.”
Zhang Bei patted the little guy on the shoulder.
The two of them walked toward the depths of the valley.
As they slowly walked forward with their lanterns, they realized that both sides of the valley floor below the cliff.
There were a lot of shipwrecks scattered around, it was said that there was a moat around Si Fang City, and it should be here.
Unfortunately, a landslide later changed the course of the river.
Leaving only this dry riverbed.
“So many bones.”
Apart from these shipwrecks, there were also a lot of white bones and corpses.
The mud and sand on the ground were buried with a lot of weapons, it was evident how tragic the situation had been then.
No one knew how many Zhang family ancestors had died here.
“No wonder our Zhang family has become increasingly desolate over the years.” Zhang Bei couldn’t help but say.
They had seen at least hundreds of Zhang family corpses along the way.
Anyone who could come here was the elite of the elite?
No wonder the Zhang family now could only stay in the Northeast and didn’t even dare to open the door.
“Do we still need these weapons?” Zhang Hai Ke asked.
They had seen Zhang Bei collect quite a few along the way, so they couldn’t help but ask.
Zhang Bei shook his head and said, “Enough.”
He had already filled his backpack, and he had also secretly collected a lot into his system space.
“You guys look around too, maybe there are better weapons.” Zhang Bei said.
Everyone nodded, their purpose for the Wild Release was to find better weapons or treasures.
This was related to their future status, so they couldn’t afford to be careless.
