"Haha, you are quite anxious..." Seeing this, the old man Heinuma just smiled faintly, "But before that... well, I have already taken out two items, shouldn't you also..."
"Well... I am the junior's negligence, but I really don't know what you want..."
The old man Heinuma didn't keep the secret, he just waved his hand and said word by word something Chu Tianxiao had never expected...
"Do you have a purple vial in your hand?"
After these words were spoken, Chu Tianxiao's expression suddenly froze. He had thought about a lot before coming here, but he never thought that old man Heinuma would want this!
Logically speaking... only Yan Leng, Xue Yan and I should know about the purple bottle...
Seeing Chu Tianxiao's expression, the old man Hei Nuo immediately understood and smiled, "You don't have to be surprised. I just heard it from others... Well, let's not talk nonsense. Just tell me, are you willing to exchange this thing with me?"
Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao fell into deep thought.
Judging from the results of Xueyan's "torture", this purple jade bottle was able to allow Tuanmie Zhenming to enter the "Longhou Secret Realm" through the "back door" and had defeated the strongest restriction in this secret realm. It was obviously not an ordinary item. Even Yan Leng didn't know its origin and other effects.
This further proves that this item is indeed Yan Leng’s “second golden finger”, and its value is definitely not less than the two items that old man Heinuma took out.
but…
"… The Loser Army is the most important part of my entire plan. If I miss the 'Sky Blood Imperial Capital Flag', I will regret it for the rest of my life! What's more, there is also the same 'map' that even Chu He treasures and preserves. Its value is not small!"
"Besides, this vial has fallen into a dormant period and is useless in the short term. Instead of waiting for the unknown, it is better to hold on to the known!"
“Opportunities are rare and will never come back again!”
After pondering this, Chu Tianxiao finally made a decision: "I have decided to exchange! Please tell me, what is the 'news' you want to tell me?"
Seeing Chu Tianxiao made a decision so quickly, the old man Hei Zan was slightly surprised, but he immediately regained his composure and just stared at Chu Tianxiao and said, "Have you really thought it through? Although I have never taken advantage of others in my life, I cannot let others go back on their words! Do you understand?"
"I have thought it over twice." Chu Tianxiao said, and took out the purple jade bottle from the Sumeru Ring!
The old man Heinuma's brows suddenly frowned, and then he saw Chu Tianxiao handing it over generously.
"Senior, please take a look."
The old man Heinuma was not polite either. His rough hands slowly began to rub the purple jade bottle. A look of melancholy appeared on his face, as if he was lost in some memories...
After a while, the Black Swamp Elder regained his composure, took a deep breath, and said, "Little friend Chu... Thank you very much for this."
The words "Little friend Chu" meant a huge change in attitude. Chu Tianxiao knew he would have something to say. As expected, he saw the old man Hei Zhuo took out a Xumi ring and said, "Although I have many secret treasures, I think they are no longer in the eyes of Little friend Chu. After thinking about it, I only have some experience in training soldiers and understanding of the way of soldiers, which is still worth seeing."
"The essence of the Black Swamp is all here."
Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao's eyelids jumped: "Senior, this is too expensive. We agreed before..."
"No need to refuse. Just think of it as my guidance and support for the younger generation. My dear Chu, I hope that you can do as you wish and always stick to your original intention." The old man Heinuma interrupted directly, not letting Chu Tianxiao finish his words.
After hearing this, Chu Tianxiao knew that it would be hypocritical if he didn't accept it, so he took it and nodded solemnly, saying, "I will definitely live up to your expectations."
"Haha, good!" The old man Hei Nuo laughed heartily, then stood up with a complicated look on his face. He looked at Chu Tianxiao and said slowly, "This matter is over, so let's say goodbye. Little friend Chu, take care of yourself."
Hearing this, before Chu Tianxiao could react, the Black Swamp Elder had already moved his feet lightly, exerting the strength of a half-step great cultivator. His figure was as fast as a ghost. In the blink of an eye, Chu Tianxiao couldn't even see his back...
"Hmm... It seems that Senior Kuronuma must be a man with a story. I just don't know if he can get what he wants, and whether I will see him again in the future... But no matter what, today's gains have far exceeded my previous expectations!"
"Yes. It's time to gather the elite soldiers in the Black Swamp and go back together. Xueyan and the others must be getting impatient waiting for them."
…
…
Night passes and dawn comes.
Chu Tianxiao walked out of the Black Swamp with a group of elite Black Swamp soldiers.
Next, there was a burst of busy work. Thanks to the Black Swamp Essence obtained from the Black Swamp Elder, the process of establishing the Loser Army was smoother than expected. And the quality of the soldiers in the Savage River Basin, plus the Black Swamp Elite Soldiers, was far beyond Chu Tianxiao's imagination. In just five days, most of the combat soldiers passed the trials, and most of the three thousand sets of "Thousand Killing Battle Armor" were distributed. The Loser Army was initially established.
On the eighth day, the Savage River Basin was unified, and more soldiers were left for the defeated army to choose from. The day of selection was in full swing.
On the tenth day, all three thousand battle armors were distributed, and Chu Tianxiao announced that the Loser Army was officially established.
On the thirteenth day, the overall preliminary training of the Loser Army was completed.
On the seventeenth day, special training such as the conversion of the defeated army's arms began to be put on the agenda.
On the 23rd day, the Loser Army completed the moderate training and further strengthened the training intensity...
…
…
More than a month later.
At night, somewhere in the wild land.
The black horse was as fast as lightning, galloping in the rainy night. The sound of its hooves stirred up the accumulated water, crushed the accumulated mud on the ground, and rushed forward in the storm.
Very fast.
But the people in the carriage still complained that it was too slow!
Inside the carriage, which was unreasonably spacious, there were both men and women, all of them practitioners. They had already pulled up the curtain at the back of the carriage and were staring intently at the rear.
At the same time, the driver, who was old but had clear eyes and was as strong as an old horse, whipped the carriage vigorously, and the carriage accelerated again and again. The black lightning burst out at a terrifying speed like wind and thunder.
It blew up fallen leaves and rolled up accumulated water, sweeping across the land like a black sandstorm.
“Not enough.”
The people in the car thought silently, and everyone's expression was extremely nervous.
The driver never stopped whipping his horse.
He was a clever driver who knew how to make the carriage go fast and last longer. But at this moment, he was whipping the big black horse in front of him without caring whether it could carry the carriage again.
He just wanted to get through the night.
We must reach the eighteenth stronghold of the Great Zhou stationed in the barbarians before tonight and pass on that crucial "message"!
Because only in this way can they and their group have a chance of being saved.
Only in this way will the intelligence they obtained at great risk of their lives be valuable.
But obviously... it is quite difficult to achieve this goal.
Tata Tata —
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer behind me.
