C22 Avenging Grace and Enmity
After staying in the tent for the night, the three of them headed towards the Hunter Town early the next morning.
Hunter Town was one of the most valiant towns in the radius of a few hundred kilometers. Most of the residents of the towns were all composed of hunters, and amongst these hunters, there were two Hunters' Group s: Black Sand Hunters' Group and Poison Fang Hunters' Group. The two Hunters' Group s often fought against each other for various reasons, and respectively occupied the southern and northern towns in the Hunter Town.
Upon entering the southern region of Hunter Town, Rex immediately invited Zhang Xiaoyu to the Black Sand Hunters' Group headquarters.
At the banquet, the middle-aged man, who looked similar to Rex, drank his glass of wine and said with gratitude, "Thank you, little brother, for saving me, Rex and Yqin. This goblet of wine is for you."
Zhang Xiaoyu smiled and also drank a mouthful of wine, saying, "It was just a coincidence."
The middle-aged man, who was also the Guild Leader of the Black Sand Hunters' Group, Lei Ba praised: "Since Little Brother Zhang has such strength at such a young age, you will definitely have a place in the Dunhuang Desert in the future. Truly enviable!"
"Uncle having his own Hunters' Group is what makes people jealous!"
Zhang Xiaoyu was not used to Lei Ba's enthusiasm. The two boasted to each other, but it was not interesting at all.
Lei Ba suddenly said: "I don't know if little brother Zhang is willing to join Black Sand Hunters' Group, our Black Sand Hunters' Group speaks for itself based on our strength, little brother Zhang must be in the position of Third Company Leader if you enter, you can get a hundred silver coins every month, you just need to come out and fight when we need you." The higher ups of the Hunters' Group normally stayed in the town, entertaining delicious meals everyday. It was unknown just how many people were fighting to get the upper hand.
Zhang Xiaoyu shook his head. He had to travel all over the continent, so how could he stay in the desert? After all, it's not easy to travel to this world.
Lei Ba's eyes were filled with disappointment, but he was still unwilling to persuade: "As long as you join Black Sand Hunters' Group, feel free to speak of any requirements, as long as it doesn't exceed the limits of my abilities." It was a pity that a strong young warrior who could defeat Mu Ya and dozens of hunters had to give up. If nothing went wrong, the young man in front of him would definitely become a powerful Martial King expert in the future.
"Sorry, the desert is only my first stop, so I can't stay." Zhang Xiaoyu said lightly.
"What a pity!" Lei Ba shook his head.
After the banquet, Zhang Xiaoyu went to the streets alone, preparing to buy some necessities for surviving in the desert. After going through Hunter Town, he had to walk more than two hundred miles to another place where he could live: Yellow Sand City.
Zhang Xiaoyu, who had already reached the level of a Martial Master, could no longer afford to buy a Grade 1 medicine. Looking at the boss's happy expression, Zhang Xiaoyu sighed with emotion. After having the Essence Ring, more medicine wouldn't be too troublesome. Zhang Xiaoyu spent over a hundred silver taels in one go. The idea that he could cross the desert with a hundred silver taels was too laughable. Fortunately, Rex did not go back on his words and gave him five hundred silver from the Black Sand Hunters' Group. Otherwise, he would still need to hunt for food in the future.
Zhang Xiaoyu rested at Hunter Town for a night before bidding farewell to Lei Ba and Rex who had stayed behind.
Black Sand Hunters' Group headquarters hall.
Rex said hatefully: "Father, this Poison Fang Hunters' Group person is too arrogant. If I wasn't so lucky, I would have died at their hands long ago. Ah Qin will definitely be humiliated too, are we …"
"That won't do, now that Mu Ya is dead, and our Poison Fang Hunters' Group has lost a certain amount of strength, as long as we can gradually increase our own strength, we can definitely defeat them in a few years, and we must not act rashly." Lei Ba interrupted Rex and said calmly.
"I can't take this."
Lei Ba looked at Rex and sighed: "Although our Poison Fang Hunters' Group has lost a Third Company Leader, we have not lost anything at all.
At this moment, Rex thought about Zhang Xiaoyu. If only he had this kind of strength, then a mere Poison Fang Hunters' Group wouldn't even be comparable to the black sand. Unfortunately, this was impossible.
Suddenly, Rex's eyes lit up, and said: "Father, I have a plan to get rid of Poison Fang Hunters' Group."
"Speak!"
"How about we tell the leader of Poison Fang Hunters' Group, Shaang Lieh, of the person who killed Mu Ya? I believe he will definitely take revenge for Mu Ya if he finds out. That Zhang Xiaoyu is so strong, so his Poison Fang Hunters' Group will definitely be damaged. Rex spoke out his thoughts.
Lei Ba was surprised and said: "He just saved you, yet you want to sell him out. Don't you think there's something wrong with repaying him for kindness?"
"The person who succeeded in doing great things wouldn't hold back, and with his strength, he might not die at the hands of the Poison Fang Hunters' Group."
Hearing this, Lei Ba hesitated a little and said: "Shaang Lieh wouldn't suspect that we murdered Mu Ya. Don't make it look like you're trying to make him crazy and fight us to the death."
"Don't worry, all we have to do is inform the normal hunters in the town that Zhang Xiaoyu killed Mu Ya by coincidence." Rex was confident of his plan.
"Then what about Zhang Xiaoyu! He won't suspect us. "
Rex said mysteriously, "This plan is very good. We can consume our Poison Fang Hunters' Group and borrow their strength to make Zhang Xiaoyu flee for his life. At that time, we can just clean up the mess."
"Then follow your plan. Don't screw it up." Determination flashed across Lei Ba's face. If this plan was successful, he could put up with it for less than a few years. In the future, his Hunter Town would only be under the control of the Black Sand Hunters' Group.
On this day, the entire Hunter Town was talking about one thing. The missing Third Company Leader and his subordinates had been killed, and they had all died in the desert, which was more than thirty kilometers away from the Hunter Town.
This matter quickly spread to the Poison Fang Hunters' Group Headquarters. At this moment, as the captain, Shaang Lieh sat at the head of the hall and said angrily: "Do you know who did this? Is it Hei Sha's people?"
One of the Hunters below said hesitantly: "It seems to have been made by a young man passing by the Hunter Town."
Shaang Lieh coldly said, "What's your name, are you still in Hunter Town?"
"I think his name is Zhang Xiaoyu. Yesterday, he bought a large amount of medicine at Hunter Town and headed north."
With a palm, Shaang Lieh shattered the armrest on the chair and roared: "We, Poison Fang Hunters' Group, have always been the only ones to kill others, yet today we have been killed by someone important. Immediately mobilize all of our troops, I will personally lead people to kill him."
Second Guild Leader Shaang Lieh's uncle Shang Mo was surprised and said, "Shaang Lieh, if everyone goes out to kill him, won't Black Sand Hunters' Group take advantage of them?"
The corner of Shaang Lieh's mouth lifted into a smug smile, "Two days ago, I had already broken through to Martial Master, and no one in the entire Hunter Town was my match. If the people from Blacksand dares to step into the northern region, I will deal with them when I return."
Shang Mo praised, "You are indeed worthy of being called the cultivating genius of our Shang Clan. To be able to become a Level 5 Martial Master at just thirty years of age. In a few years time, when you advance into the Grand Martial Master realm, forget about Hunter Town, even the fat and oily Lou Lan Town will be under our control."
