Chapter 38: Entering Dangerous Territory (Seeking Recommendation Tickets!)

  Fenghuang Lake is over 300 miles away from Huangsha City, in the southwest direction. In fact, Ahu and his group said they were going to Fenghuang Lake, but actually, they wouldn't even get close to within a hundred miles of it!

  What is known as the forbidden land, isn't just talk. Let alone a team with the strongest power, only at the Xuan level, even if it's a Tian-level super strongman, leading a group of Earth-level warriors, they wouldn't dare to take risks easily. Whoever dares to deeply enter Phoenix Lake, are all madmen who don't care about their lives!

  There are only two possible outcomes: either you die or you get rich!

  Ah Hu is not a madman, and there are no madmen in the team, so they just head towards Fenghuang Lake.

  Several of them were not weak, and in the eyes of ordinary people, as long as they entered the ranks, they were worthy of reverence. Not to mention this group of people, the weakest were all at least Yellow Rank 7th stage. Of course, at this moment, the acknowledged weakest was Qin Li.

  "Ah Hu big brother, you're carrying such heavy backpacks. Don't you have those storage bags that can hold a lot of things or rings?" Qin Li remembered Ah Hu mentioning the utensils he brought from Phoenix Lake, which should be some kind of spatial storage device. That means this continent does have such things.

  Ah Hu scratched his head, and before he could speak, Bu Yunyan snorted with laughter: "Storage bag? You've read too many legendary stories! What kind of thing is that?"

  The cold beauty, Leng Yao, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up and said: "Who says there isn't? It's just that people like us don't have the qualifications to witness it." As she said this, a hint of desolation flashed across her eyes.

  Ah Hu smiled and said: "Yes, those things are what only truly big shots can have. Except for that cup, I've never seen any of the other storage devices before!"

  Qin Li smiled and asked: "By the way, warriors are divided into four levels: Tian, Di, Xuan, and Huang. Are there any warriors who have broken through to the Tian level?"

  Ah Hu was taken aback, his expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Of course there is! I can say this with certainty, it definitely exists! The Tianyuan Continent is too big, there are some ancient mysterious sects and families that are not accessible to us low-level people at all. We are not from the same world as them!" Ah Hu rarely sighed when he said this.

  "Then he continued: "Do you know why I knew so clearly? When I was very young, my family was very poor. My parents were both farmers in a mountain village. One day, an old man passed by our house and stayed for a night. He saw me and was surprised, saying that I was a good seedling, suitable for martial arts training, and wanted to take me away. My parents had only one son, so they didn't want to let me go, no matter how much the old man tried to persuade them. However, the old man stayed at our house for half a year and took me as his apprentice. In those six months, he taught me the basics of martial arts and told me many stories... Half a year later, my master left and never came back. It wasn't until I entered the Hunter's Guild and started making money that I gradually realized that the stories my master told were not something ordinary people could experience! Unfortunately, I missed such a good opportunity, so I can only become an ordinary martial artist."

  After Ah Hu finished speaking, everyone was extremely surprised, because they also heard this story for the first time. Bu Yunyan muttered to herself: "No wonder you, a poor family's child, can possess such excellent martial skills, I said so..."

  Ling Yao's eyes flashed with a hint of unusual color, wanting to say something, but endured and didn't open her mouth.

  Qin Li was completely absorbed in the conversation and said with great longing: "When can I go see it for myself?"

  "Who are you? Go dream on, don't even think about it this lifetime!"

  Ah Hu shook his head, dispelling the memories, and smiled: "This life is actually fate, no matter what, aren't we all living freely now? Thinking too much is useless! Qin younger brother, later we'll find a place to camp, you and Yunyan can stay behind to keep watch, while we go around and see if we can hunt some wild game."

  Qin Li nodded slightly. Now in the eyes of everyone, he was a person who needed protection. In fact, when it came to wilderness survival, there were really not many people who could surpass Qin Li.

  At this time, the sun was leaning westward. A group of people were walking in the deep mountains and old forests. The light had already become very dim, with only scattered sunlight shining through, in strips of golden yellow, mottled on the ground.

  The withered branches and leaves of the past year make the forest filled with a faintly musty smell, mixed with fresh air, which is quite refreshing.

  Suddenly a sound of flowing water came from the front, Ah Hu said: "Alright, let's set up camp by the river!"

  It's clear that this isn't everyone's first time here.

  "Tomorrow, we can go to some places to find spiritual beast cubs and spiritual beast eggs. This mountain forest is not too dangerous, and sometimes there are spiritual beasts appearing."

  A group of people set up their tents, actually only three tents in total. Buxiaoyan and Lengyao shared one tent, Atiger and Qinli shared another, while Lisu and He Laosan shared the last one. These people were all seasoned veterans, they didn't even need Qinli to lend a hand before finishing setting up their tents.

  Then he left Bei Yunyan and Qin Li alone, while the others dispersed to hunt and explore the surroundings.

  Qin Li bought a set of fishing gear while purchasing weapons and carried it with him. In his previous life, Qin Li was also an angling enthusiast, so despite being ridiculed by Bu Yunyan for not focusing on the task at hand, Qin Li insisted on his idea that if he could catch a few fish, it would improve their rations.

  Watching Qin Li skillfully dig up earthworms from the grass mound and then sit by the river to fish with a satisfied expression, Buxiaoyun's eyes widened in surprise. Unexpectedly, she didn't mock Qin Li, but instead started a fire and boiled water on the portable stove, asking softly: "Qin Li, I'm asking... how have you been living these past few years?"

  Qin Li was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's just that way." But in his heart, he thought, at this moment, if there was another cigarette, it would be perfect.

  Bù Yún Yān said: "I always feel that you don't seem like a teenager, it's really hard to imagine, a child from your kind of family, can still do things that only poor kids would do."

  Qin Li smiled slightly, not responding to Bu Yunyan's words. He felt a sudden weight in his hand and said with a smile, "There's a fish!" As he lifted the fishing rod, the sturdy fishing line first tightened and then snapped with a loud crack. The enormous force almost knocked Qin Li off balance. Immediately after, the calm river surface began to churn, and a black creature over a meter long burst out of the water, bringing with it a foul smell and letting out a sharp screech as it charged towards Qin Li!
