Chapter 040: The Six People Travel (Third Update, Rushing to the Charts, Seeking Votes)

  Today is the third update, rushing for the top spot and seeking votes, hoping everyone will give their full support! Thank you!!!!

  When the remaining three members of the Five-Man Band were still in shock, Li Junshan had already ridden his alien beast to retreat hundreds of meters away, leaving only one alien beast lurking around them, waiting for the next sneak attack.

  It would be unwise to launch another attack when the opponent has already sensed and become vigilant. After all, that Li Junshan originally didn't take seriously "young master" was a great war strategist, and there was also a magician with unclear rank lurking on the side.

  This game of ambushing enemies in the dark and playing cat-and-mouse excited Li Junshan.

  "Ah, lost another magical creature." Li Junshan hid under the tree to avoid the rain, feeling a pang of heartache. So far, he had already lost two creatures and three more were seriously injured. Except for the black dragon creature, only five creatures could be used now.

  He patted his chest, and Li Junshan finally felt a little balanced. The rope hanging there had two more space rings.

  The rain gradually subsided, and before long, the heavy rain stopped. After a while, the dark clouds in the sky also dispersed, but it was already dusk, without seeing any brightness in the forest.

  At this time, Li Junshan received a spiritual signal from that alien creature. The three people had already set off and were moving very fast.

  Commanding the deformed creature to follow, Li Junshan rode on top of the warning deformed creatures around him and released three more deformed creatures to cover both sides and the rear, leaving one in space as a killer, running forward.

  …………

  The entrance to the Blood-colored Gorge was extremely narrow, less than a hundred meters wide, with towering cliffs on both sides that pierced the clouds. A dozen or so black-clad men stood in a line, firmly blocking the entrance.

  "How come nobody has arrived until now?"

  An old man with white hair wearing a moon-white long gown sat on the giant stone at the entrance, frowning and asking.

  The first of the black-clad men rushed to the front of the giant stone and said respectfully: "On the first day, two people came, a magic guide and a warrior; on the second day, four more people arrived, but they inevitably fought and retreated back into the forest, and since then no one has come."

  As soon as Da Han's voice fell, three people ran out of the forest, their faces filled with terror and unease, as if they were being chased by a level 9 demonic beast. Only when they saw the crowd did they calm down, slowly walking over.

  These three people were none other than the only three surviving members of the five-man group that Li Junshan had been pursuing and killing all along. For the next two days, these three people stuck together inseparably, day and night. As soon as it got dark, they would find a place to rest against the steep cliff at the edge of the forest, where there were no weeds or trees. They wouldn't even close their eyes for a moment. When they were extremely tired, they would take a green medicine, and their spirits would immediately recover.

  Li Junshan once tried to let the alien sneak up on him, but ended up with an alien tail bone being chopped in half by that "young master". Fortunately, that "young master" didn't think of pursuing, otherwise he would have lost another alien.

  "It's definitely like Lei Xuan, this 'young master' has only the blue Dou Qi of a Great War Master, but his actual strength is not that simple."

  Not wanting to be discovered, Li Junshan could only follow the three people from a distance. When they advanced, he advanced too; when they rested, he rested as well. However, he didn't encounter anyone else, and in this manner, he followed the trio until they reached the entrance of the Blood-colored Narrow Valley.

  Li Junshan put away his alien form and swaggered out behind them.

  "Four people have arrived." The white-haired old man nodded and said loudly, "You wait aside for a while, there are six more places. If more people come, hum, you'll have to figure it out yourself."

  The three of them exchanged a glance and walked to the foot of the giant stone, standing there to rest. Li Junshan walked over to their side and sat down, taking out a piece of dried meat to gnaw on.

  "You... have you ever seen some strange magical beasts back there?" the young priestess couldn't help but ask Li Junshan.

  Li Junshan pretended not to hear and continued eating on his own.

  At this time, the magician glanced at Li Junshan, bowed his head and whispered something to "Young Master" and the shepherd girl. The eyes of the three people looking at Li Junshan again had a hint of anger.

  Li Junshan slowly finished eating the dried meat, then pulled out a bottle of Qingguozi wine and started drinking. This type of wine was similar to the fruit wine he had drunk before, with a very clear, fragrant and sweet taste.

  The darkness of the night was deepening, and the old white-haired man sitting on the giant stone had a look of obvious impatience. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but suddenly lifted his head and looked towards the distant forest.

  A gaunt youth emerged from the forest, walking very slowly and extremely steadily, as if the ground was covered with sharp thorns that would prick his soles at the slightest carelessness.

  Li Junshan's eyebrows slightly raised, this young man he recognized, was the same blond-haired youth from the Baywat Empire who had entered the forest ahead of him.

  "I didn't think he could survive either." Li Junshan was somewhat surprised, after all, this young man looked not much older than himself.

  The blond young man also came to the giant stone where Li Junshan and others were waiting under the guidance of that big Han, he didn't sit down, just leaned against it lightly.

  At the same time as the blond young man leaned against the giant stone, a tall, gray-clad man also emerged from the forest with large strides. His messy red hair was like burning flames, his face covered in whiskers, and his square face was filled with determination, his sharp eyes gleaming with power. His arms were extremely long compared to ordinary people, almost reaching down to his knees, and a broadsword as wide as one hand was inserted on his back.

  "Let's rest over there for a while first." The burly man leading the way said to the grey-robed big man, then looked up and gazed into the forest again.

  A man in grey clothes walked up to the giant stone, glanced at a few people, his eyes suddenly lit up, and ran several steps to Li Junshan's side.

  Li Junshan looked at him vigilantly, but the man in gray said: "Young brother, do you have some stronger wine? I've been traveling a long way and I've finished all the wine I prepared."

  "Turns out he's a drunkard." Li Junshan said to himself, he had prepared quite a bit of food and drink when he came, and also saw that the gray-clothed big man was somewhat generous, so he casually took out a crystal bottle from his spatial ring and threw it at him.

  The tall man in grey took it over, pulled out the wooden stopper, raised his head and drank a big mouthful, his eyes lit up.

  "Haha, I didn't expect to be able to drink the fiery red lips of my hometown here! Good, good, good!" The big man in gray clothes also ignored the people present at Blood Color Gorge and burst out laughing loudly, his voice like a muffled thunder.

  No wonder the burly man in grey was so overjoyed, the fiery red lips savored the strong fragrance of the fine wine, produced from the far north of the Buhari Desert, the round-trip journey was thousands of miles, and the price could no longer be measured with gold coins.

  Perhaps due to the alien gene modification of his body, Li Junshan would not get drunk from any wine in this world, except for fruit wine. Other wines were tasteless to him, and only the fiery red lips could stimulate his throat a little. This bottle of fiery red lips was still given by Duke Audric before he left, but also repeatedly reminded him that if he was trapped in a desperate situation, taking a few sips could refresh his mind, but he must not drink too much.

  Li Junshan also casually picked one up, unexpectedly giving the most precious Lieyan Red Lips to him. Since he had already taken action, there was no reason to take it back. Seeing the gray-clothed big man drinking with gusto, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

  "Little brother, not bad, your temper is quite to my taste." The big man in gray clothes drank a whole bottle of Lianyan Red Lips in a few mouthfuls, and casually threw the crystal bottle aside. He smiled and stretched out his palm-sized hand towards Li Junshan, saying: "I'm Robin, from the far north land of Buhari Desert."

  Li Junshan also didn't decline his enthusiasm, stood up and stretched out his hand to give him a light handshake, saying: "Nikolas, of the Lances Empire, hmm, you can call me Little Mountain."

  "You've come a long way." Grey-clad Robin withdrew his hand and sat down beside Li Junshan, sighing: "Just rushing here, I've already spent over a month."

  Li Junshan smiled slightly and sat down beside Robin, at this time he noticed that although the clothes on Robin's body were old and worn out, they were washed very clean, and there was not a single wrinkle or bloodstain on his gray shirt.

  "Didn't you encounter anyone else attacking on your way?" Li Junshan was somewhat curious.

  Robin smiled and said, "How could there not be? On the first day, I encountered four people who attacked me, all of whom I defeated. For the next few days, I found it troublesome, so I found a stone cave to sleep in, during which time I got rid of three more people, until this afternoon when I finally arrived."

  "Hmm." Li Junshan was speechless for a moment. Robin made it sound easy, but wanting to do it without sufficient strength was impossible.

  "The time has come." The white-haired old man looked up at the setting sun in the west and stood up, shouting loudly: "Start clearing the field. If there are still people inside, they will be expelled from the Blood-colored Narrow Valley. From today on, the valley will be sealed off as usual."

  The dozen or so burly men standing below all responded respectfully, quickly dashing into the forest. Each of their rapidly moving bodies left behind a blue afterimage of Dou Qi, and surprisingly, they were all at the Great War Master level.

  "It's getting crueler by the year, I didn't expect thirty-four people to come this year, and yet only six made it through." The white-haired old man thought to himself as he floated up from the giant stone and flew towards the depths of the narrow valley, but he was a magician.

  "Follow me!" The big man in the lead waved his hand at Li Junshan and others, who were somewhat excited, and led the way forward, walking into the narrow valley.

  The narrow valley is like a wine bottle, with an extremely narrow entrance, and the further you walk in, the wider it becomes. The flat stone ground is smooth beyond compare, without a single blade of grass growing.

  "What's your occupation?" Robin asked Li Junshan, feeling a bit bored as he walked. To have made it this far, there must not be a single good person around. Seeing that Li Junshan was only fifteen or sixteen years old and looked rather slender, Robin couldn't help but feel curious.

  "Summoner." Li Junshan didn't think of hiding it from him either.

  "Then your summoning beast must be very powerful, I thought you were a magician at first." Robin said with a smack of his lips, and then asked the blond-haired youth beside him: "How about you?"

  "Assassin." The blond youth replied coldly, without even looking at him.

  "No wonder you can survive in this environment. Assassins are indeed easier to live in. What's your name? Where are you from?" Robin asked again.

  "By the power of the Empire, Burundi." The blond youth still had a thousand-year-old icy demeanor, and was stingy with his words.

  "It's about as far as I am." Robin nodded and seeing the blond boy Blundell's appearance, he didn't say anything else.

  The trio fell behind them by more than ten meters, whispering in each other's ears and knowing what they were saying.

  Not long after, they found that the end of the valley appeared a steep cliff, towering into the clouds, extremely dangerous, and they were all surprised in their hearts. When they walked closer, they finally discovered that there was a turn, and also heard some noise, following the turn to take a look, a group of people were stunned.
