Chapter 431: The Konuoduo Slave Hunting Group
Because it was already late, Lingyun and his three companions found a tavern and walked inside, preparing to settle their dinner while also gathering some information from the tavern.
This time of day was the liveliest in the tavern. The spacious tavern was filled with the roar of voices, and almost every table was occupied. Generally speaking, adventurers entering the Magic Beast Forest rarely spent the night in the forest unless there were special circumstances. At night, the Magic Beast Forest was like a giant beast that had awakened, baring its ferocious claws and fangs at the adventurers, as various bizarre nocturnal Demon Beasts emerged one after another, intending to take the lives of the adventurers.
Lingyun and his three companions sat down at the last remaining table in the tavern, ordered some food, and began to prick up their ears, trying to hear any useful intelligence from those around them. However, the people around them seemed to be just spouting nonsense, and for a while, Lingyun and his group did not really obtain any useful information.
Suddenly, a conversation between a bald, burly man near Lingyun's table and his companions caught Lingyun's attention.
"Sigh, you guys tell me, when will those bastards from the Konuoduo Slave Hunting Group finally lift the blockade from the Magic Beast Forest to Gelu Town? It's been almost ten days; I'm so bored here I'm about to grow worms!" a delicate-looking young man said, slapping the table with an indignant look on his face.
"Hey, Laobo, don't be so loud. The people in the Konuoduo Slave Hunting Group are all mad dogs. If they hear your words, I'm afraid they'll come looking for trouble with you!" A man beside him pushed his arm with a helpless expression.
"Hey, don't worry. Right now, the Konuoduo Slave Hunting Group should be struggling to save itself; how would they have time to come looking for trouble with small fry like us!" the bald, burly man said with a chuckle.
"Trouble? The arrogant and overbearing Konuoduo Slave Hunting Group will also run into trouble?" The man looked astonished. "You have to know, it is the most powerful slave hunting group on the Continent, possessing a large number of experts!"
"You don't know about this; I also heard it from one of my brothers. This matter isn't known to everyone yet; it's only circulating in a small circle," the bald, burly man said mysteriously.
"Oh, what is this matter? Boss, can you tell us about it?" The others all looked at the bald, burly man with curiosity.
"That's no problem at all, after all, in a few days, I'm afraid everyone will know about this!" the bald, burly man said. "Do you know why the people from the Konuoduo Slave Hunting Group blocked this area of the Magic Beast Forest this time?"
"This, we really don't know!" The others all shook their heads.
"It is said that the people from the Konuoduo Slave Hunting Group discovered a lone Spirit in the Magic Beast Forest. Given the character of the people in the Konuoduo Slave Hunting Group, once they knew a lone Spirit had appeared there, you should be able to imagine what those disgusting guys would do!" the bald, burly man asked.
"A Spirit? How could a legendary Spirit appear in the Magic Beast Forest?" The others were all somewhat astonished.
"As for that, I don't know," the bald man said, shrugging his shoulders.
"Then isn't that Spirit in great danger now?" another person said with concern.
"Looking at the current situation, the people from the slave hunting group clearly haven't found that Spirit yet, but their good days are coming to an end!" The bald, burly man chuckled and poured a mouthful of ale into his mouth. "I don't know why this matter leaked out, but it actually reached the ears of the Elf Race. You should know that the Elf Race has always been a race known for harmony and unity. Now that the people from the Konuoduo Slave Hunting Group dare to make a move against a lone Spirit, they have clearly touched the bottom line of the Elf Race."
"I've seen in quite a few books that the strength of the Elf Race is very powerful. Is this true? The Konuoduo Slave Hunting Group is struggling to save itself; could it be that the reclusive Elf Race has taken action?" a young girl asked.
"That hasn't happened, but the people who took action are definitely terrifying existences. As far as I know, several families on good terms with the Elf Race have already taken action, and at the same time, the Mage Guild and the Thieves Guild have also joined in. Most importantly, Jue Tian, who inherited the name of the Jueyun Sword Saint in this generation, has also taken action. By now, the Konuoduo Slave Hunting Group within the jurisdiction of the Jueyun Family should have been completely wiped out," the bald man said, taking a gulp of wine with a grin.
"Several families on good terms with the Elf Race? The Mage Guild? The Thieves Guild? The Jueyun Sword Saint? These are all famous existences!" A look of amazement appeared on the girl's face. "Although the Konuoduo Slave Hunting Group is the most powerful slave hunting group on the Continent and has intricate relationships behind it, under such an offensive, I'm afraid the only outcome is to lay down their arms and surrender."
"Then what if the people from the Konuoduo Slave Hunting Group refuse to give up?" The girl blinked her large eyes at the bald man.
"That person in the Morning Light Forest has already spoken. If the other side continues to resist, she doesn't mind letting them see what the wrath of the Elf Race is," the bald man said, shrugging his shoulders. "You have to know that that person is a big shot who experienced the Millennium Holy War. If such a person really takes action, I'm afraid the entire Konuoduo Slave Hunting Group will be annihilated, and it might even spread to other slave hunting groups."
"Spread to other slave hunting groups? Why?" the man asked, somewhat confused.
"Think about it, since this slave hunting group dares to make a move against a Spirit, does that mean other slave hunting groups also dare to make a move against the Elf Race? If that great person really thinks this way, I'm afraid the slave hunting groups across the entire Continent will suffer a terrifying blow just like back then," the bald man said. "Now, quite a few experts are already heading toward this place, and at the same time, quite a few people are putting pressure on the Konuoduo Slave Hunting Group. I am really looking forward to seeing what choice they will eventually make!"
Listening to the conversation of those mercenaries at the table, Aiweier's face suddenly turned pale.
"Woo, to think it actually alarmed that great person. I'm definitely done for this time, definitely done for!" Aiweier muttered, her face full of a look of hopelessness.
"Experienced the Millennium Holy War and has an extraordinary status in the Morning Light Forest? The great person you are talking about, could it be Andiya?" Lingyun raised his eyebrows slightly and suddenly spoke.
"Eh? How do you know the name of Andiya? You have to know, even in the Morning Light Forest, there are no more than ten people who know the name of Andiya!" Aiweier looked at Lingyun with a face full of surprise.
Whether it was Lingyun's ability to easily take the Wind Holy Sword from her back earlier, or Lingyun speaking the name of Andiya now, it all made her feel that the man in front of her was full of mysteries.
"As for that, you will know in the future!" Lingyun gave the young girl a mysterious smile.
