Chapter 423: Chapter 200: Xu An, Ten Thousand Urgent, Presenting Treasure_4
After Xu An finished speaking, Li Hun hurriedly set the young man down. Once a few people held down his head and limbs, Xu An pulled out a bottle of Golden Sore Powder, and then swiftly drew out the three iron arrows from the young man’s back.
Pfft… Pfft… Pfft…
The young man immediately convulsed in pain, but fortunately, someone was holding his body down, so he didn’t move much.
The effect of the Hot Wind Pill began to take effect, and the young man’s frozen body quickly started warming up and recovering. As the iron arrows were removed, Xu An immediately applied a layer of Golden Sore Powder to the wounds.
Soon, a flush of red appeared on the young man’s face, and his body was visibly recovering.
“It will probably take a while for him to wake up. Let’s carry him back first, otherwise, he won’t survive until dawn.”
At Xu An’s command, Li Hun continued to carry the young man, and a group of fifteen people, taking that Frost Electric Ape with them, headed towards the southern stronghold at Five Ape Mountain.
However, barely half an hour had passed before an accident occurred.
Li Hun from the group suddenly jerked his body, violently throwing the boy he was carrying off his back.
Bang…
“Hey, you little brat, don’t you recognize good intentions!”
Thrown into the snow, the young man immediately tried to stand up, but his injuries were too severe. He was noticeably awkward, and after trying two or three times, he barely managed to half-stand shakily.
Once he was on his feet, the first thing he did was check the wooden box on his left hand. Then, tightly gripping a dagger in his right hand, he looked up at the group across from him, his face full of wariness and panic.
Xu An noticed Li Hun’s right shoulder garment was torn and immediately understood what was happening. He frowned at the young man and asked, “We saved you, is this how you treat your saviors?”
The young man appeared panicked, but upon hearing Xu An’s words, he clearly realized something. He reached to touch his back and then examined the attire of the fifteen people in front of him, his face lighting up with joy.
“May I ask, are you all from the Great Xia Camp?”
They must be. With such refined clothes, weapons at their waists, and each person holding an Iron Core Bow, they undeniably hailed from the Great Xia Camp.
Before Xu An could reply, the young man directly knelt down and said,
“I am Xiang Liang, son of Xiang Kai, the leader of Hefeng Camp. I have a great treasure to present to the Great Xia Leader, and also an extremely urgent message to convey to him. I earnestly beg for your swift introduction, for which I will be immensely grateful!”
Offer a treasure to the leader?
And an absolutely urgent message to convey to the leader?
Upon hearing the young man’s words, Xu An and the other fourteen exhibited expressions of utter bewilderment, looking at the young man as if he were crazy.
Xiang Liang noticed the fifteen people seemed visibly skeptical, and his face immediately showed urgency. He hastily continued, “Please, gentlemen, you must believe me. The Flying Tiger Camp already knows the exact location of your Great Xia Station. They are conspiring with several other camps to attack your Great Xia. I must see your leader to explain the details…”
Flying Tiger Camp has discovered the exact location of the Great Xia Station.
And they are gathering other camps to jointly attack Great Xia?
Xu An was stunned upon hearing this, then his expression became even more peculiar.
Even the rest of the team had indescribably odd expressions on their faces.
“You must believe me, gentlemen. If you let me meet your leader, I will tell you everything.”
Seeing the expressions of Xu An and the others, Xiang Liang thought they didn’t believe him, and his voice carried a hint of sobbing, clearly indicating he was indeed very anxious.
“Don’t worry, come back to the station with us first!”
Seeing Xiang Liang’s expression as if he wasn’t faking it, Xu An thought for a moment and then spoke up.
“Li Hun, he’s injured, you carry him.”
“Thank you, sir!”
Xiang Liang’s face immediately showed hope, and he hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
However, when Li Hun came over to support him, Xiang Liang immediately resisted, hiding the wooden box behind him, cautiously saying, “Thank you, sir, I’ll just follow behind you; I don’t need any support.”
Li Hun, already aggrieved over his right shoulder garment being torn, saw Xiang Liang still being so ungrateful and directly slapped him on the head.
Slap…
“You little punk, you’re quite cautious, huh? Who wants your broken wooden box? Just lie honestly on my back, or I’ll take that little broken knife of yours and snatch your wooden box.”
Xiang Liang, with his mere strength in the Logging Realm, was immediately subdued with a slap but still clutched the wooden box tightly, not giving others a chance to touch it.
The group continued on their journey back to the station.
Xu An repeatedly glanced at the wooden box along the way, and each time he looked, Xiang Liang’s expression grew tense, amusing Xu An to no end.
After some time, Xu An couldn’t resist any longer and smilingly asked, “Kid, you’re saying you want to present a treasure to our leader. At least tell me what the treasure is, right? We can’t just take anyone claiming to have a treasure to see the leader, correct?”
Hearing this, Xiang Liang’s expression changed repeatedly, and he didn’t know what to think, eventually choosing silence, as if he hadn’t heard Xu An’s question.
“Heh, this kid won’t move without seeing a profit!”
“It seems this wooden box really is something valuable. Should we snatch it and take a look?”
“Hun, don’t scare the kid.”
“Hahaha…”
Though their tones were clearly teasing, Xiang Liang looked nervously, occasionally glancing back at Xu An, clearly frightened.
“Alright, stop scaring the kid. Let’s head back first and discuss later.”
Xu An, leading at the front, chuckled and shook his head, not paying it any mind.
The group quickened their pace, soon crossing over the mountain and reaching the southern slope of Middle Ape Peak, the Great Xia’s station on this side of Five Ape Mountain.
The Great Xia’s station on Middle Ape Peak was originally the Three Tigers Camp’s station.
Previously, those three ferocious tigers only thought of exploiting other humans and naturally didn’t care about properly building their station.
The original station was just a cave under a cliff, with a few simple wooden houses built inside, and nothing much else.
But since June this year, when Xia Chuan ordered it to be established as a station, with people from Great Xia frequently coming and going, the place has transformed remarkably.
Following Xu An and his group, Xiang Liang saw a massive wooden house built against the mountain wall.
The wooden house stretched over a hundred meters in length, the top completely covered, resembling a square box backed against the mountain wall. Xu An led the group up to the wooden wall, searched for a bit, knocked, and then softly spoke:
“The rain from all directions can’t match the rain in our Redwood Ridge.”
Soon, a voice came from the other side of the wooden wall.
“Dragon Gate Mountain has rain, the snowy tiger descends the mountain.”
As the voice sounded, the tightly sealed wooden wall suddenly opened from inside, revealing a hidden door two meters wide and three meters tall.
“Captain Xu is back!”
“Heh, heh, got a bit of a new find tonight, let’s go in first.”
…
A wave of warmth hit as Xiang Liang followed Xu An through the wooden door. When he saw what lay before him, his expression instantly froze.
