Chapter 143

Master Qian's scheme did not succeed, and Zhang Xingyu and Mo Guang successfully walked out of the treasure cave.

Along the way, Zhang Xingyu asked Mo Guang: "Mo Guang, I saw that you were drooling all over the floor. Why did you reject that Master Qian's temptation so decisively?"

Mo Guang puffed out his chest, touched his shiny black head, and said with justification: "Trying to trick me? Not a chance. He's no Master Qian; he's clearly the Dragon God. Our clan's elders have passed down that there was once a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon who proclaimed himself the Dragon God. The Dragon God is the greediest for money. Not only did he rob money everywhere, he also enslaved other dragon clans to earn money for him. Whoever agrees to become his servant will be poor for a lifetime. Because every gold coin earned will be taken away by the master, the Dragon God."

"Ah, your dragon clan really has some oddballs." Zhang Xingyu said.

The two followed the small path and arrived at the foot of the mountain again.

Just as they reached the foot of the mountain, the two were surrounded by a group of soldiers holding swords and spears.

The leader of this group of soldiers was wearing golden armor; it was the golden-armored general who had been knocked down by Mo Guang in Nanhua Cheng.

"Black charcoal head, didn't expect this, did you? We meet again." The golden-armored general shouted at Mo Guang.

Mo Guang was stunned for a moment before he recognized him.

"I was wondering who it was, so it's you, the loser." Mo Guang laughed.

"Get out of the way quickly, otherwise, this Prince doesn't mind beating you up again." Mo Guang shouted at the general.

"Beat me up? I'm afraid you won't have that chance." The golden-armored general sneered and moved a step to the side.

Behind him, the terrified Zhang Kaixin and the little fatty appeared.

Two gleaming steel blades were held against their necks.

"Zhang Xingyu, save us quickly." Zhang Kaixin shouted at Zhang Xingyu.

Zhang Xingyu's mood hit rock bottom.

Damn it, these people actually took Kaixin and the little fatty as hostages. This way, we are tied up and unable to make a move.

Thoughts turned a thousand times in his mind, but no panic was visible on his face.

"Don't be afraid, we're coming to save you right now." Zhang Xingyu called out to Zhang Kaixin.

Hearing his words, Mo Guang clenched his fists.

"Save them. How are you going to save them? As soon as you move, I guarantee these two kids will lose their heads. Now, you only have two choices: either surrender, or watch me behead these two kids."

After finishing, the golden-armored general laughed triumphantly.

Seeing this, his soldiers also laughed out loud.

"Black charcoal head, pretty boy, the two of you hurry up and surrender." The soldiers shouted in unison, their momentum shaking the heavens.

Zhang Xingyu touched his nose and remained silent.

After the soldiers finished laughing, he said to the golden-armored general: "General, how about we make a deal?"

"A deal? Are you talking about the treasure cave?" The golden-armored general asked.

"Exactly. A huge treasure, a large batch of gold and silver jewelry left behind by pirates. I will use this treasure to exchange for these two children." Zhang Xingyu replied.

The golden-armored general shook his head: "The treasure, isn't it on the mountain of this island? We have known about you coming to find the treasure for a long time. Otherwise, how could we have let you live until now?"

"Then what do you want?" Zhang Xingyu asked.

"Take us up the mountain and find the treasure. If I am in a good mood, I might spare your lives." The golden-armored general laughed.

Man is the cutting board, I am the fish.

Having no choice, Zhang Xingyu pulled Mo Guang, who was on the verge of exploding, and turned to walk onto the small path again.

Before long, they arrived at the cave.

Zhang Xingyu didn't stop for a second and walked straight in.

Seeing this, the golden-armored general led the group and followed them in.

Arriving at the stone door, Zhang Xingyu pretended to be profound and recited a spell: "I'm rich, I'm rich. I have a Nokia in my left hand, a Motorola in my right, I drive a Bentley in the morning, and take a Ferrari in the afternoon..."

Everyone was bewildered.

They couldn't understand a single word of this spell.

At the end, Zhang Xingyu shouted softly: "Master Qian, open the door, as fast as the law commands. Open!"

After the spell was finished, he pushed with both hands, and the stone door opened in response.

Inside the door, golden light was dazzling, and the gold and silver jewelry all over the floor dazzled the eyes of the golden-armored general and the soldiers.

"I'm rich, I'm rich." The golden-armored general's expression was very excited.

"I'm rich, I'm rich." The soldiers shouted and rushed into the stone door following the golden-armored general.

Outside the door, only the four of them remained.

Zhang Xingyu smiled slightly, pulled Zhang Kaixin and the little fatty, and walked out of the cave.

Arriving outside the cave, they went down the mountain and walked onto the beach.

Zhang Xingyu's steps were steady and his mood was pleasant.

If nothing goes wrong, that group of guys should have turned into golden statues.

Among mundane people, how many can resist the temptation of wealth?

On the beach, there were two boats, one big and one small.

The big one was an official boat, presumably the group of soldiers and the golden-armored general had used this boat to follow them.

The small one was the fishing boat that Zhang Xingyu and the others had arrived on.

The fishing boat was still parked there; presumably, the old fisherman on the boat had already met with misfortune.

They couldn't take the official boat; even if they went, they wouldn't know how to sail it.

If they wanted to leave, they could only take the fishing boat.

Zhang Xingyu was in front, and Mo Guang was carrying the two little ones behind.

The four of them walked toward the fishing boat, their steps deep and shallow.

Arriving at the fishing boat and climbing onto the deck, they saw the old fisherman lying on the boat.

This old fisherman had most likely been killed.

Zhang Xingyu thought to himself.

Seeing the old fisherman lying on the deck, the two little ones walked over.

"Grandpa, wake up. Grandpa, wake up."

The little fatty gently shook the old fisherman.

Unexpectedly, the old fisherman actually opened his cloudy eyes.

"I'm old, I actually fell asleep."

The old fisherman slowly sat up.

When he saw Zhang Xingyu and the others, he was clearly taken aback.

"You're back?" The old man asked the little fatty weakly.

"We're back, Grandpa." The little fatty replied.

"What about those officials who went with you?" The old man continued to ask.

"They went into a stone door, and there was a lot of gold inside." The little fatty replied.

"Stone door? Gold? Could that legend be true?" Hearing the little fatty's words, the old man muttered to himself.

Zhang Xingyu came to the old man's side and asked softly: "Old man, what legend is that?"

The old fisherman touched his chin, which was stained with water droplets, and recounted softly.

"Legend has it that above this sea and sky, a large batch of treasure is buried. Whoever can find it and offer it to the Dragon God will receive the Dragon God's blessing and gain eternal life."

The Dragon God's blessing? Eternal life?

Zhang Xingyu remembered what happened in the cave and the legend Mo Guang spoke of, and couldn't help but find it funny.

Eternal life, turning into gold?

Even if one turns into gold, it doesn't necessarily mean one can live forever.

"Let's sail, old man. We're leaving here." Zhang Xingyu said to the old fisherman.

"Leaving here? Don't you want the gold?" The old fisherman asked Zhang Xingyu.

Zhang Xingyu shook his head: "No. That stuff, you have the life to earn it, but not the life to spend it."

Mo Guang snorted coldly: "How could the Dragon God's gold be taken by others?"

"But that's a chance to gain eternal life! If I weren't old and couldn't compete with the young people, I would really want to fight for it and take a gamble!" The old fisherman sighed.

Zhang Xingyu laughed: "A chance for eternal life, I'd rather not have it!"

"What a pity!" The old fisherman sighed long and turned to pull the anchor.

Just at this moment, the sound of a sharp weapon piercing the air came from the sky.

In an instant, a feathered arrow was stuck in his back.

The old man fell onto the deck with a thud, and in the blink of an eye, he was silent.
