Chapter 120

121. Chapter 121: I Am the Senior Brother

The heavy rain fell.

Inside the ruined temple, there were leaks everywhere, dripping wet. Zhao Ge and the others, who had been running around for several days, did not take this opportunity to rest well. After a brief reunion, they began to get busy.

"Rong Niang, collect everything useful from the corpses on the ground; don't waste it. Now that the Zhao Zhao Wuguan is gone, we are penniless, with neither weapons nor gold and silver. These people brought by Han Sui and Jin Bufeng are all good experts from their martial arts school, and the strong bows and crossbows they are equipped with are also top-quality goods. Even if we don't use them, we can sell them for money."

Zhao Ge was sitting on a rock in the ruined temple, starting to order his disciples to do things: "Daughter, you go and help your senior sister too; her arm is injured, and her movements are inconvenient. Remember, feel through their clothes more; see if there are any Blood Energy Pills hidden. If you can find a few, eat them immediately to replenish the blood energy lost earlier."

"Okay Master, I'll go right away."

Rong Niang had one arm bandaged, with two wooden boards clamped on it. Although she couldn't move it, as a martial artist, she still had physical strength, so there was no problem with collecting things.

Zhao Qian also nodded and helped.

Facing the corpses all over the ground, the two young women didn't show any discomfort. They lived in this era and were used to life and death.

Zhao Ge said again: "Thin Monkey, you work harder, take a trip down the mountain, round up the horses left by those people nearby, and bring back as many as you can. Remember, don't run too far, and come back quickly once you've got enough. In these wild mountains and forests, there's no guarantee that some danger won't appear."

"Master, wait a moment, I'll bring back those good horses of theirs right away."

Thin Monkey nodded, picked up a bamboo hat from the ground to shield himself from the rain, found a steel saber and a strong bow for self-defense, and then walked out into the heavy rain.

Li Yi was currently keeping watch at the entrance of the ruined temple. He stood under the eaves where the rain couldn't reach, quietly looking out at this new world.

"Senior Brother." Thin Monkey greeted him: "Master asked me to fetch the horses, I'll be back soon."

"Why do you call me Senior Brother?" Li Yi suddenly asked this: "I should have entered the school later than you."

Thin Monkey saw Li Yi responding to him and smiled happily: "In the Zhao Zhao Wuguan, an indoor disciple is a Senior Brother. You are the first indoor disciple Master accepted, so naturally, you are our Senior Brother."

"So that's how it is." Li Yi nodded, understanding: "Go ahead, I'll watch you from here. If there's any danger, I'll go support you."

"With Senior Brother's words, I feel much more at ease." Thin Monkey felt relieved immediately and rushed into the heavy rain with light steps.

Li Yi had night vision, and his eyes were glowing. He could see that at the foot of the mountain, the group of people who had died earlier had left more than twenty fine horses. However, due to the thunder and heavy rain tonight, several horses had been frightened and ran away because they weren't tied up properly, but many still remained. If they were all brought over, everyone would be able to ride horses to travel tomorrow.

I have to say, Master Zhao Ge's mind is really good.

Just a moment ago, they had experienced life and death, and the next moment, he started to collect things, considering how to survive tomorrow.

It seemed that all of this was so natural, even Zhao Qian, a young girl of about sixteen, was searching for useful things on the ground full of minced meat with nimble hands and feet.

Some gold and silver were stained with blood, but Zhao Qian didn't mind. After picking them up, she rinsed them a few times under the rainwater falling from the leaking roof and carefully put them away.

Everything from the dead became the resources for the living to continue to survive, without a bit of waste.

Everyone felt it was reasonable.

It seemed that the law of the jungle had penetrated every inch of land in this world. The people born in this world, as well as the martial artists, had all inherited this point.

Li Yi was silent for a moment after seeing this.

He could feel that this world had an indescribable cruelty.

"Since I have come to this world, I should adapt to the rules of this world. If there is really no order here, only the law of the jungle where the weak are the prey of the strong, then I must stand at the top of the food chain of this jungle and become the most powerful predator. Otherwise, I will only be ruthlessly swallowed by this world, let alone protect the people around me." Li Yi thought to himself.

He had always understood one truth.

A person cannot change a world; they can only adapt to it.

What Li Yi wants to do is to integrate into it, but he cannot lose his true nature.

After all, he is an evolutionist from a modern city and still has to return to Tianchang City. He cannot do whatever he wants and be reckless just because there is no law here. If he did that, he would really become what the resentment in the copper coin said: naturally evil and deeply demonic.

After adjusting his mindset, Li Yi felt much more relaxed.

At this moment.

In the heavy rain, Thin Monkey led all eighteen good horses over. But strangely, when these horses were led to the front of the ruined temple, they didn't dare to move forward anymore. No matter how they were dragged, they stopped, as if there was some taboo in front of them that made these horses smell danger.

"Senior Brother, look, what's wrong with these horses? They won't walk, and they seem to be very afraid?" Thin Monkey was very puzzled and asked.

"Did they smell the blood?" In the ruined temple, Zhao Qian finished collecting things and walked out, saying.

Thin Monkey immediately said: "That's impossible. These horses are well-trained good horses; they aren't afraid of weapons or bows and crossbows, let alone afraid of the smell of blood."

Li Yi thought of something at this moment and immediately said: "These horses smelled the scent on me, so they are afraid and won't move forward. I'll step back and try."

Saying this, he stepped back into the ruined temple.

After moving further away, Thin Monkey found that the horses could be pulled again, which made him feel incredible.

At this moment, Master Zhao Ge heard the conversation and walked over. He looked at it slightly and then said: "Meng De, it should be because of this piece of clothing you are wearing, right? What kind of clothing is this, and what is its background? Tell Master, and let your junior sister and junior brother learn something."

He was experienced and saw the key point at a glance.

At this moment, Zhao Qian, Rong Niang, and Thin Monkey, who had just tied up the horses, all looked at Li Yi.

Only then did they discover that the clothing on Li Yi was truly extraordinary. Under the firelight in the dark night, it actually had flowing light, and it was embroidered with a five-clawed black dragon, which was lifelike, ferocious, and domineering.

"This is called a flying fish suit." Li Yi explained to everyone: "A good friend of mine gave it to me. This clothing is made of Kui dragon skin; it is indestructible, water and fire resistant, and mosquito-proof."

"Kui dragon skin? Dragon skin?" Zhao Ge's expression changed: "Meng De, are there still dragons where you are?"

In the Four Seas and Bazhou, dragons have become extinct and cannot be studied; they have long since become legends.

Li Yi thought for a while and then said: "Where I am, this type is called a transcendent creature. I don't know if there are true dragons, but Kui dragons and Jiao dragons must exist."

After all, after the Heavenly Tilt event, even the creatures in myths and legends had emerged.

Hearing this.

Zhao Qian, Rong Niang, and Thin Monkey were all shocked.

Are there really dragon species where Senior Brother lives?

"To be able to make Kui dragon skin into clothing means that there are people where you are, Meng De, who can hunt dragons." Zhao Ge exclaimed repeatedly: "Incredible, incredible. No wonder you are naturally extraordinary, Meng De. Living in such a world, it's normal."

"By the way, Senior Brother, what is that? I saw Junior Sister carrying it on her back just now." Suddenly, Thin Monkey pointed curiously at the sniper rifle placed in the corner of the ruined temple.

Zhao Qian immediately explained: "That is a weapon brought by Brother Yi. It is a type of firearm, but its power is ten times, or even a hundred times, greater than a firearm. It can shoot and kill enemies from ten miles away. The reason those people's bodies exploded just now was because they were hit by this firearm."

"A firearm that can kill from ten miles away? And its power is so terrifying?" Zhao Ge was shocked again.

It's not that there are no firearms in the Four Seas and Bazhou, such as thunder bombs and fire guns, but those things have ordinary power and cannot deal with powerful martial artists.

Li Yi said: "This firearm is called a sniper rifle. It was specially developed in my world to deal with transcendent creatures. This time, to save Master, I brought one just in case. But the bullets are limited; once they are used up, it will become scrap iron."

"So that's how it is. You have a heart, Meng De, and you are well-prepared. This is correct. When facing an enemy, you must be well-prepared and absolutely sure." Zhao Ge nodded: "I saw the power of this firearm just now; it is truly astonishing. A Blood Refining martial artist will definitely die if hit. Even when Master was at his peak, I'm afraid I couldn't withstand a single bullet."

"Can this firearm deal with Bone Refining experts?" Thin Monkey opened his eyes wide, and then he became excited immediately. He said immediately: "With this firearm, we have hope for revenge."

Zhao Ge sighed at this moment: "After this incident, Master has seen through many things. The Zhao Zhao Wuguan having this disaster recently also corresponds to the principle of decline after reaching its peak. If we go back for revenge, I'm afraid we will have to experience another slaughter, and I don't know how many more lives will be added by then."

"The only disciples left by Master's side are you few... let's forget about revenge."

He shook his head, actually willing to let go of hatred and not mention revenge.

"This, this, how can this be? Master, the blood feud of so many senior brothers and junior brothers, how can we not take revenge." Thin Monkey knelt down immediately, tears already flowing: "I know Master is afraid that something will happen to us, so you don't want us to take risks. But Master, you have to think about yourself too. The Coffin Lingzhi is still in the hands of that traitor. If we don't return to Sanyang City, how can we get the Coffin Lingzhi back? How can we treat Master's injuries?"

Zhao Ge shouted at this moment: "Enough! For this old life of Master, how many more people have to be sacrificed before you are willing to stop? Master knows his fate at this age; if I die, I die. You must live well."

"Meng De."

Then he looked at Li Yi again: "Master asks you for one thing."

"Master, please speak." Li Yi said.

"After Master dies, you will be the head of the Zhao Zhao Wuguan. I trouble you, Meng De, to take them away from the Four Seas and Bazhou, let them follow you to live in your world, and find a way for them to survive. Although their abilities are average and they can't do big things, they can still help you." A trace of expectation appeared on Zhao Ge's aged face.

At this moment, he was like an old man entrusting his affairs before he died.

Li Yi should have agreed, but he fell silent.

Because Earth is not safe either.

Evolutionists on Earth want to cross dimensions to escape and avoid the second Heavenly Tilt event. He didn't expect that Master also had no place to stay in this world and was also thinking about leaving.

If that's the case, what's the point of all this?

It's just dying in another world.

It shouldn't be like this!

Li Yi's gaze moved slightly, and his light brightened: "Master, I know you have suffered a great blow, but Master shouldn't be discouraged. Those villains drove you out of Sanyang City, so I will help Master fight back. The enemies will be settled, the martial arts school will be rebuilt, and everything lost will be taken back. Since I am the Senior Brother of the Zhao Zhao Wuguan, I have this responsibility."

"Everyone, are you listening to me, going to find them for revenge, or listening to Master, letting go of hatred, and staying away from these rights and wrongs?"

Then, he turned to look at the others.

"I listen to Senior Brother, revenge." Thin Monkey stood up emotionally immediately.

"I also listen to Senior Brother." Rong Niang's eyes were exceptionally stubborn; she didn't want to run away like this.

Zhao Qian hesitated for a while, looked at her father, then looked at Li Yi, and finally gritted her teeth and said: "I also listen to Brother Yi."

"Good."

Li Yi nodded, and then said again: "Master, don't worry, I will help you get the Coffin Lingzhi back and treat your injuries completely. With you here, plus the concerted efforts of the junior sisters and junior brothers, everything will get better."

Seeing Li Yi's attitude so firm, and thinking of the blood feud of his disciples, Zhao Ge took a deep breath, changed his previous weak thoughts, and said: "Since Meng De has said so, what else is there for Master to hesitate about? Let's risk it and go back to Sanyang City for that trip."
