Dragon's Origin

Chapter 160: Lifting the Curtain (Part 2)

This was a matter of great importance, and all the people in charge knew the priorities. They didn't bother to ask for more detailed information, but personally held up lanterns and helped their own disciples draw the route map first.

A messenger bird had already been sent out, noting that there was a "Crimson" character on the gatehouse where they were discovered. Presumably, the sect would be able to deduce a lot of information based on this.

Just today, the messenger birds from all sides numbered at least a hundred, from the moment Wang Sheng returned until the evening. And the forces of the nine people who returned alive sent out a second messenger bird in the evening, showing the urgency of the news.

For the major families and sects that had participated in the extermination of the Lin family back then, the single Crimson character was enough to basically determine that Wang Sheng and the others had found the former base of the Crimson Bear Hall.

In fact, the location of the Crimson Bear Hall back then was still recorded in the most secret scripture pavilions within each family. Now, comparing it with the news sent back by the family disciples, it could basically be confirmed.

Especially after these disciples drew the routes they took to enter and exit, discarding the drawing errors and inaccurate estimates during the walking process, all parties could determine that they had indeed reached the outermost mountain gate of the Crimson Bear Hall.

The families immediately sent detailed questions to Worry-Free City. What the families were most concerned about was whether they felt the existence of formations at the gatehouse of the Crimson Bear Hall.

The ten people who went in with Wang Sheng this time were all carefully selected. Not only did they have excellent memory, but they also had knowledge in all aspects, and they all had a good understanding of formations. They couldn't be called formation masters, but they were capable of sensing the existence of formations at close range.

Wang Sheng slept from the afternoon of the first day until the afternoon of the next day. By the time he woke up, the families had confirmed that the place they went to was indeed the Crimson Bear Hall, and that there were no formations there. At least, even if there were formations, they were not activated, and no one could feel them.

When Butler Lao Ge received the news and rushed from the City Lord's Mansion to Wang Sheng's place, he saw Shadow Eunuch and Han Bing Li chatting and drinking. Wang Sheng was like a starving ghost who hadn't eaten for many years, devouring the food on the table. The two little maids were almost running to serve Wang Sheng dishes, but they couldn't keep up with his eating speed.

Wang Sheng was indeed starving. In the Perpetual Killing Ground, Wang Sheng only ate a fixed amount of the food he carried every day. The calories in these foods were enough for his daily consumption, but the taste was really ordinary. Moreover, Wang Sheng didn't want others to fully master the survival skills in the Perpetual Killing Ground, so he carried enough food and water himself.

Fortunately, everyone had a storage ring, so they could bring enough food and water. But the consumption in the Perpetual Killing Ground was really high. After coming out and sleeping for a day, it would be strange if he wasn't hungry.

"Are you still going in?" Butler didn't treat himself as an outsider. He greeted Wang Sheng and went to drink and chat with Shadow and Han Bing Li. After Wang Sheng had eaten and drunk enough, and the things were cleared away, he sat down and asked.

"I'll go if there's something to gain," Wang Sheng replied casually. "But going again will be a month later. I need to rest for a while. Also, if anyone wants to go, let them practice simply outside Worry-Free City first. Don't expect me to guide them one by one again."

Butler was overjoyed to hear this answer. Without saying a word, he picked up a large glass and gestured to Wang Sheng, then drank it all.

Wang Sheng was going to continue to go in, which meant that it would still be organized by Worry-Free City. This was a great source of wealth, and it would definitely make the City Lord laugh from ear to ear.

Not only that, but Wang Sheng also wanted them to adapt and train outside Worry-Free City first. How to train? Wouldn't Worry-Free City send people to lead the team? In addition to the consumption of these trainees in Worry-Free City, wouldn't it be another large sum of gold coins?

"What do you want next time? As long as you ask, I will definitely help you empty out the family property of those guys," Butler became excited, almost patting his chest to guarantee Wang Sheng.

Shadow Eunuch didn't find Wang Sheng's answer surprising. Because Wang Sheng had reminded him before the first departure. Since Wang Sheng successfully brought a team back, and the loss of one person was because the other party violated the rules, it showed that Wang Sheng didn't have the intention to harm everyone. Many things could be carried out smoothly, and the royal family could slowly participate.

The Perpetual Killing Ground, a piece of fat that everyone coveted, was finally slowly cut open a small opening from Worry-Free City, revealing the delicious smell inside, waiting for greedy people to take the bait.

The news spread that day. Wang Sheng would still take people into the Perpetual Killing Ground, which made many forces who didn't get their turn the first time very happy. This time, everyone no longer watched and started sending people to station in Worry-Free City. In a short period of time, the population of Worry-Free City almost doubled.

Baoqing Yutang and Yubaozhai seized the opportunity, and this time they made a lot of money. Just the complete sets of equipment and supplies sold thousands of sets, and the storage rings on the market were almost completely bought up. In the area outside the city gate of Worry-Free City, thousands of people came and went every day.

Every day, no less than a hundred people were injured, either by monsters or by their own carelessness, and even fought each other. There were also unlucky ones. In the past ten days or so, at least six people were injured by the poisonous things inside, and died before they could be rescued.

Because of this, the sale of complete sets of medicines from Yubaozhai was stimulated. Coupled with the added value of the goods in Worry-Free City, the snake eggs of the Thousand Illusion Poisonous Serpent that Yubaozhai bought from Wang Sheng for 8,000 gold coins, plus the investment in research in the past two years, had earned more than a hundred times the amount in two months.

Ling'er, who was by Lu Wenhuan's side, was completely convinced of this. She had opinions on Wang Sheng entirely because Wang Sheng knew some things she didn't know. But on the money-making industry, she was sincerely convinced.

Wang Sheng had only given Baoqing Yutang and Yubaozhai four ideas in total: Baoqing Yutang's rock sugar and refined salt, Yubaozhai's snake venom-related projects and chili peppers. Not to mention his own industry. The gold coins earned by Baoqing Yutang's rock sugar and refined salt in the past two years were enough to drown anyone in the world.

The hustle and bustle of Worry-Free City didn't affect Wang Sheng much. Wang Sheng basically stayed at home these days, rarely going out. He practiced simple cultivation every day. More often, what people saw was Wang Sheng practicing calligraphy, which was a very puzzling move.

No one would easily come to disturb Wang Sheng, let alone come to kill him. Not to mention the safety of the inner city of Worry-Free City, the City Lord gave an order that the surrounding residents were protecting Wang Sheng during these days when they didn't go out, protecting Wang Sheng's small courtyard like an iron bucket. This doesn't include the protection from all parties. At this time, everyone was waiting for Wang Sheng to take them in and out of the Perpetual Killing Ground. Whoever dared to move Wang Sheng was simply an enemy of the whole world.

It is said that with such importance, ordinary people would not have any crooked thoughts. But some people just want to test the limits.
