Chapter 413 Preventing Compatriots from Self-Destruction
After saying that, Zhu Liuxiang strode forward and headed towards the man in black.
Just as he was about to approach the man in black, suddenly another man in black blocked Zhu Liuxiang's path.
"Hehe, the number one master of the Great Xia Dynasty, Daoist Xiaoyao, your opponent is me. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."
At that moment, a group of martial arts practitioners rushed toward the treasure as if they had gone mad.
Upon seeing this, the man in black shouted, "Damn it, this treasure isn't easy to take. You're skilled in martial arts, so here you go."
After saying that, he threw it at the fourth-rank expert who was charging at the front.
The fourth-rank expert received the treasure, shouted his thanks, and ran away.
But before he could run more than a few steps, a long sword pierced through his chest in an instant.
Seeing this, Chu Chen shook his head and immediately headed into the crowd.
At that moment, he knew that only someone with exceptional strength could obtain this item and stop the massacre.
Just as he set off, the same sound suddenly came from his left.
"Ah, there's treasure here too! Quick, everyone come quick!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen immediately stopped and scanned his surroundings. He instantly discovered that there were more than one black-clad man dressed like this; there were at least twenty of them.
One of them even fought alongside Zhu Liuxiang.
"Holy crap, when did the Great Xia Dynasty have so many super experts who could fight the Free and Unfettered Daoist to a draw?"
Just as he was wondering what was going on, several men in black suddenly appeared, brandishing treasure and shouting to lure the crowd over to snatch it.
Moreover, several men in black were staring intently at him, making Chu Chen feel a dangerous aura.
The scene instantly descended into chaos.
A massive, dark mass of martial arts practitioners were locked in a fierce battle over a dozen locations allegedly containing treasure.
In a short time, dozens or even hundreds of people were lost.
To minimize casualties, Eunuch Wei shouted as he charged toward the crowd looting the treasure.
He thought the same as Chu Chen: only someone with exceptional strength could seize this item and quell the fighting.
Chu Chen's mind was racing; at that moment, he couldn't care less about the person staring at him.
He immediately pulled out a grenade from behind him, pulled the pin, and threw it into the nearby woods.
Then, he took out a loudspeaker that was used for selling clothes in a shopping mall.
A loud explosion rang out, and the fighting crowd paused for a moment.
Taking this opportunity, Chu Chen shouted loudly into the loudspeaker, "Stop it, all of you! Stop it!"
As soon as the voice was spoken, everyone looked at Chu Chen.
"Are you all brainless idiots? Didn't you see those men in black deliberately using this garbage to incite you to kill each other?"
"Is your life more important than this treasure? If anyone tries to steal it again, I'll throw what I'm holding into your crowd."
After saying that, he pulled the pin on another grenade and threw it to the side not far from the crowd.
The massive explosion sent sand and dirt flying towards the crowd.
A huge pit appeared before everyone's eyes.
Only then did everyone realize that if this thing had landed on them, they would be dead.
Chu Chen had just stopped the fight, but the next moment, he flashed and moved himself several meters away.
A figure wielding a long sword appeared where he had just been standing.
Chu Chen turned his head and saw that this was the attendant of the man in black who had been staring at him earlier.
Without the slightest hesitation, the man charged towards Chu Chen again, sword in hand.
Chu Chen chuckled, thinking to himself that this was just in time, and fired about ten bullets from his Glock at the approaching person.
Before the figure could react, it was riddled with bullets.
The other men in black realized what was happening and stopped running. They grabbed their long knives and charged into the crowd that was fighting over the loot.
Just then, a man in black, sensing something was wrong, waved to the person beside him and rushed towards a dark cave entrance on the mountaintop.
Little did they know, a figure had already arrived at the cave entrance and then slipped inside.
Chu Chen looked at the scene of the fight, waved his hand, took out a Type 95 rifle, and started firing at the men in black.
But as the fight went on, a problem was discovered: the number of men in black had gradually increased.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that many of the men in black were actually disguised as people in the crowd.
They had already removed all their outer clothes and were killing anyone they saw.
Thus, what was originally a battle for treasure instantly turned into a fight between men in black and martial arts practitioners.
Chu Chen looked around and saw that among the thousands of martial arts practitioners in the Great Xia Dynasty, there were quite a few experts, as well as Eunuch Wei and others like Zhu Liuxiang. He then turned to look at Suo Dong.
But upon closer inspection, she was nowhere to be found.
"Damn, something's off about this old woman."
After saying that, Chu Chen disregarded everything else, turned around, took out the map he carried with him, compared the directions briefly, and rushed towards the top of the mountain.
After rushing to the top of the mountain, Chu Chen immediately spotted a dark cave entrance that could only accommodate one person at a time.
He moved quickly and disappeared into the hole.
Then, with a snap, a flashlight was turned on, and the scene inside the cave became clear.
Once inside the cave, a wide passage immediately appears.
The cave exuded a rotten smell, making Chu Chen feel extremely uncomfortable.
Chu Chen stared at the messy footprints illuminated by the flashlight.
To avoid revealing his location, Chu Chen put on a set of night vision goggles, turned off his flashlight, and followed the footprints.
Not long after Chu Chen went inside, Suo Dong's figure appeared outside a huge stone gate.
Her eyes flashed with a sharp light, and then she mustered all her strength to push towards the stone door.
There was no trace of the exhaustion she had shown after taking Mu Xueqin's medicine.
In fact, the effects of the drug had long worn off. Although Chu Chen increased the dosage, this woman had a skill: she could suppress what she had ingested with her internal energy, keeping it only in her throat.
The medication did not enter her internal organs, so she was not greatly affected by it.
After Chu Chen left, she forced the drugs out.
However, throughout the journey, she pretended to be exhausted, deceiving Chu Chen.
The stone gate in front of her was enormous; even with her high level of cultivation, she could only move it by a tiny bit.
“Young lady from Luozhong Island, why don’t we join forces, open the stone gate, and then go in, each relying on our own abilities?”
Just as Suo Dong exerted her strength again, a leisurely voice came from behind her.
Upon seeing this, Suo Dong immediately turned around, looking at the man in black with a wary expression.
Because the attendant beside the man in black was carrying a torch, the light made it clear that there were four people facing him.
Moreover, his voice carried a hint of Japanese accent.
