Chapter 2368 The city doesn’t accept outsiders?
"My friend, how is it? Is he safe?"
Wang Jie was standing next to the car. When he saw Ling Tian coming out, he smiled and spoke.
"Not bad." Ling Tian nodded: "Uncle Wang, let's take a day off. Just outside the cave entrance, I have something I want to talk to you about."
Hearing this, although Wang Jie was a little confused, he still agreed.
So the two of them set up a temporary base next to the car, taking out the food, drinks, and tent from the car. After everything was ready, Ling Tiancai sat in the tent, stretched, and said, "In the wild, this kind of thing is not so good. It will be very uncomfortable when resting."
"Indeed." Wang Jie also nodded: "My friend, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Um……"
Ling Tian didn't speak hastily. Instead, he thought for a moment before softly saying, "Uncle Wang, when you were killing orcs before, you did leave the city and go near the Holy Mountain, right?"
"Yes, I have been there, but we couldn't get in. At that time, I saw a fully grown demon beast, and all our team members were wiped out. If I hadn't run fast, I would probably be dead too. Hey, that was the way I came here, but it was extremely bumpy!"
As Wang Jie spoke, he touched the corners of his eyes, as if to see if he had shed tears.
After seeing his actions, Ling Tian didn't feel much, but continued to ask, "Uncle Wang, besides the top-grade crystals, have you seen other crystals at that time? For example... crystals with special abilities."
After these words were spoken, the doubt in Wang Jie's eyes deepened. He then raised his head slightly, and after recalling for a long time, he shook his head and denied it, "I haven't seen it. In my memory, there is no such thing. I only know that the top-grade crystal is very precious. As for the rest... I don't really understand."
Hearing Wang Jie's answer, Ling Tian frowned slightly and said, "Then when you were about to enter the Holy Mountain, your teammates were killed. Why did we see the orcs entering and leaving the Holy Mountain at will a few days ago? You don't know all this?"
"I don't know." Wang Jie still shook his head.
Seeing this scene, Ling Tian had roughly guessed that the orc killers attacked the monsters in the Holy Mountain because Wang Jie and his team were massacred.
After Wang Jie returned to Weicheng, the Wang family learned about what had happened during that time and perhaps began to look for ways to deal with it.
Only then did they find the so-called crystal.
When everything slowly began to become clear, Ling Tian took a deep breath, looked at Wang Jie and said, "Uncle Wang, your Wang family may have many secrets that you don't know. If we want to find out, the first step may be to turn your Wang family upside down."
"Only by getting everything from the Wang family can all doubts be resolved."
Hearing this, Wang Jie also reacted and said, "Young friend, what you mean is that we should gather intelligence first, then return to Weicheng, overthrow the Wang family, and then go to the Holy Mountain?"
"Correct!"
After hearing Ling Tian's plan, Wang Jie thought about it for a while and nodded, "Of course, but I and the Lin family..."
"Uncle Wang, you may need to stay alive for a while. Don't you want to go into the Holy Mountain and take a look?"
"miss you!"
"Then come back with me to the Wang family. Let's settle the Wang family's affairs first, and then we can go into the Holy Mountain and take a look."
Ling Tian smiled slightly, seemingly revealing his entire plan, but in fact he did not say the most important part.
Kill the orcs!
Ling Tian naturally wouldn't tell everyone about the agreement he had made with the ice beast.
On the one hand, he still didn't trust Wang Jie 100%, so he had to be a little cautious. After all, he was a member of the Wang family, and he had killed orcs before, so Ling Tian still wanted to hide something.
On the other hand, Ling Tian wanted to slaughter those so-called beast killers alone, get the crystal and hide it for himself.
Ling Tian did not tell Wang Jie about the crystal stone directly, but just asked casually. He certainly would not care too much about it.
So after he had slaughtered all the orcs, he could put the crystal into his pocket without anyone noticing.
So after Ling Tian briefly made a so-called plan with Wang Jie, he began to rest.
Silent all night.
The next morning, the two got up, packed their things, and set off on their journey again.
Last time, they were heading east, this time, they were heading north.
Ling Tian was driving the car, paying attention to his surroundings. From time to time, he could see some high-level monsters hovering in the air.
Seeing these monsters, Ling Tian just looked at them and naturally would not take the initiative to attack. Wang Jie, sitting in the passenger seat, asked curiously: "Young man, where are you going?"
"I don't know either." Ling Tian shook his head: "But what I want to do is to find the humans outside the city, the surviving humans. Of course, I'm not talking about killing orcs, but the humans in other cities."
After hearing Ling Tian's words, Wang Jie was puzzled, but he did not ask too many questions and nodded.
The car did not stop for the next three days, but they still did not see the so-called humans.
Instead, various kinds of monsters appeared above their heads, and Ling Tian even saw several celestial beasts.
On the fifth day, Ling Tian suddenly stepped on the brakes and the car quickly stopped. Wang Jie also looked over and asked, "Little friend, what's wrong?"
"There are people ahead." Ling Tian pointed forward and said, "Four people, their realm is in the late Heaven-Shaking Realm, so they are not killing orcs, but..."
"Survivors from other cities?" Wang Jie took over the conversation.
"Well, that's possible, but we can't be reckless, so let's hide the car first, and then we'll see what happens next."
"understand!"
Wang Jie agreed and followed Ling Tian to hide the car. Then the two of them leaned against a tree on the other side and looked ahead quietly.
After about half an hour, four figures slowly appeared in front of us.
The person on the other side walked slowly and seemed to be staggering, as if walking was having some difficulty.
When Ling Tian saw the other person, he touched Wang Jie, and then the two of them walked out of the woods, walking with their heads down, as if they didn't know anything.
After the two of them had walked for about a minute, a loud voice suddenly came from the front: "What are you doing? Who are you?!"
The sound that rang out "suddenly" startled the two of them. They looked up suddenly and saw four people with expressions of surprise and confusion.
Ling Tian, in particular, stared blankly ahead, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, followed by surprise. He stared at the few people straight in his eyes. After a moment, he anxiously said, "Um, we're lost. Are you from a nearby city? Can you take us...to have a look?"
Ling Tian's question startled the others for a moment, and one of the overweight men stepped forward and shouted in a low voice, "Our city doesn't accept outsiders, so... get out! Otherwise, I'll kill you!"
"Oh? You're going to... kill us? Are you sure?"
