Start from Wusheng

Chapter 318 Promise and Design

Zhou You was slightly tempted by the conditions offered by Liu Fengji, but that was all he was tempted by.

He already had a promise, and it was a promise from the ninth level of the powerful martial arts world.

No matter how precious the promise of the Liu family disciple is, can it be compared to the weight of a top martial artist?

The real power of aristocratic families lies in their monopoly of resources and hierarchy, but this is no longer effective when it comes to top martial arts masters.

Let me ask you, is there anyone in the world who can compare to the Martial Saint?
"We have to wait until we get out alive before reporting back!"

What Zhou You was thinking about was how to escape with the master and servant.

It is well known that in any case, the complexity of an event doubles with the number of people involved.

If it’s just one person, it’s still in the category of anthropology; if it’s more than two people, it’s in the category of sociology, which is extremely difficult.

In this territory that has become the domain of the witch clan, hiding one's tracks is extremely difficult.

There is no secret martial art in the world that can completely cover up any traces left by a living person.

Smell, temperature, hair, dandruff, any tissue dropped from the human body can be discovered. The witches' noses are sharper than dogs', and they raise all kinds of strange beasts.

Two living people, as long as they breathe, eat, and excrete, their normal metabolism will leave traces.

Once, Zhou You was discovered by the witch's pursuers because his dandruff was licked from the ground by the enemy's hunting dogs, which directly exposed his whereabouts.

From then on, Zhou You's control over stealth has been taken to a higher level, becoming extremely cautious to the point of being strict.

You can't be careless, negligence can mean risking your life!
"Speaking of which, Brother Liu, it's really not easy to walk here from Zunyang City."

Liu Fengji was in the late stage of Qi and blood, and he brought along a little servant boy who was almost a burden. There were flaws all over his body, but he was able to walk here unscathed, which made Zhou You doubt his own level.

"No, it's just luck."

When Liu Fengji explained, he pronounced the word "luck" more heavily, which was obviously hinting at something.

Yes, luck is also important.

Zhou You chatted idly. Although his clone was risky, it was not life-threatening.

At worst, we can admit that the mission has failed and activate the projection of the panel to retract and leave.

However, the opportunity is in front of us. If we can help Liu Fengji, we can regard it as an investment.

The Liu family in Fucheng has a higher status than the Xu family and the Qi family in Gongliang City. If they can lean on this big tree after moving to Fucheng in the future, things will be much easier.

Zhou You had seen with his own eyes how the immigrants from Sucheng were treated coldly and excluded by the local people after the fall of Sucheng, and how they had nowhere to turn.

Even someone as strong as Bao Tiefeng, with all the means to be a tyrant, could only barely gain a place in the martial arts world.

Gongliang City is xenophobic, but is Fucheng not xenophobic as well?
If you want to get ahead in the world, you must have connections in the local area. And what connections are more solid than those with local families?

He was still thinking seriously, but Liu Fengji couldn't hold back any longer and said directly, "Brother Lu, if you have a way to escape from here, why not do me a favor?"

"I am a person who repays a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude."

"Well, this is not an exaggeration. You can verify the power of the spring yourself in the future."

Zhou You pinched his chin and seriously considered the other party's conditions.

The little servant Xiao Xu couldn't help it and said pitifully, "If you are in trouble, you can leave me and take the young master away. Wouldn't it be easier this way?"

Fearing that Zhou You would not agree, he raised his thin arms and said, "I still have a few pounds of meat on my body, which can attract the beasts of the witch."

Zhou You was amused by him and waved his hands, "That's not necessary!"

He suddenly thought of a solution just now, which could be regarded as his last trump card, and it might come in handy. Hungry Skin!

By the way, Zhou You got a martial artist skin from Jin Heshan some time ago, and Lu Zhigang got another whole one after breaking through to become a martial artist. With plenty of materials, he worked overtime to make more than a dozen leather bags.

After testing, it was found that the Hungry Skin, after adding talents, can not only store goods, but also has the ability to preserve living things for a short period of time.

He also tried putting unconscious pigs and sheep in there and they could be kept there for up to 10 days, and they would be alive and kicking when they were released.

I haven't tried it on living people, but I think it's probably no different from pigs and sheep.

He was unwilling to use this trump card unless it was absolutely necessary.

The hungry skin is really too important. Once exposed, it can easily lead to a catastrophic disaster.

At least Zhou You has been asking around and confirmed that the so-called storage space legend does not exist within the range he can access.

In other words, his hungry body is not unique in the world, but it is so rare that it cannot be passed down from generation to generation.

Therefore, this thing can be used, and it can be used in a very big way, but it cannot be known to a second person.

He also killed the pigs and sheep that were used for the live experiments afterwards, chopped them up and stewed them in a pot.

"If I have a way to send you two away, but the prerequisite is that you must enter a coma beforehand, can Brother Liu agree to it?"

Liu Fengji frowned when he heard this. If he fell unconscious beforehand, wouldn't that mean his life and property would be handed over to the other party?

This was obviously unacceptable to him, who came from a noble family. It was too risky. What if the other party had ulterior motives?
Zhou You breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him hesitate. He didn't want to use the Hungry Skin easily.

This leather bag is a disposable item. No matter how much is in it, it will be scrapped immediately after one item is put in and one item is taken out. It is more usable than a garbage bag.

He would need to think twice before destroying a hungry body for a favor.

Since the other party was doubtful and refused to agree, Zhou Youle had to go with the flow without having to make things difficult for himself.

"..."

The servant Xiaoxu suddenly realized something and raised something to remind Liu Fengji.

"Young Master, there are our own people nearby."

What a surprise!
Originally, the master and servant were stranded in the wilderness, helpless and had to seek help from an outsider, Zhou You, but they still couldn't get any help after a long time of negotiation.

Suddenly, I sensed that someone close to me was nearby, and there was hope that I could be saved from drowning.

Liu Fengji showed a look of joy, but then his expression changed drastically, "No, this is a trap."

His personal guards were scattered and scattered everywhere, being hunted down by the wizard army.

Even if someone survives, he will just follow the original agreement and deliberately walk away to attract attention and buy time to escape.

Appearing nearby at this time and deliberately attracting their attention clearly meant that there was something wrong.

Either they are traitors, or they are traps set by sorcerers to lure them out?
Zhou You looked up to Liu Fengji. He thought that he was not an ordinary person because he could see hope in a desperate situation and remain calm in joy.

He also thought it was a trap because on the map on the panel, except for the three of them, there were red dots everywhere around them, and there was not even a yellow dot representing the neutral camp.

Liu Fengji doesn't have any panel hacks, but he can still detect something strange directly. How awesome!

But his troubles were far greater than he had imagined.

This is fine. Since we don’t trust each other, we can just say goodbye and find our own way to survive later!
Zhou You was thinking this, but he heard Liu Fengji's firm words, "Brother Lu, I do!"
