Chapter 120 Harvest
Chapter 120 Harvest
Fu Que's mind raced.
Although he wanted to stay here to recuperate and quickly regain the power of the otherworldly painter, he killed many of the water village's henchmen. These people had been robbing merchant ships in places with convenient water transportation, and each of them had accumulated a lot of sinful ink.
After Fu Que saw them off, the previously depleted Sinful Cloud Ink also gained some income. Now, if he enters meditation, he should be able to repair the damaged Scroll of the Swordsman.
However, the Tiger Cavalry Company Commander's suggestion was reasonable, and Fu Que had no reason to refuse.
Of course, there was another small reason that Fu Que would not say: he would never admit that he was lusting after the Water Village's body, which was why he chose to return to the Water Village with the two powerful Dragon Tiger Cavalry.
After all, it was a water stronghold that had brought calamity to the area. The fact that it could gather two Qi Refining Warriors and a bunch of henchmen who had just entered the threshold of martial arts meant that it must have a lot of good stuff inside. The fleeing Blood Qi Warriors didn't have time to gather these things, nor did they care to collect them.
The two Dragon Tiger Guards who were investigating the situation probably weren't very interested, but Fu Que was different; he was very interested, especially after hiring a therapist to provide him with one-on-one service.
"Thank you both."
Fu Que bowed and said, "Your subordinate will follow your instructions."
The Dragon Rider took the lead in circulating his true energy and soared towards the small airship in the sky. The Tiger Rider's first company commander grabbed Fu Que's shoulder. Fu Que felt a powerful and cold true energy envelop him, and then his body involuntarily rose into the air. When he came to his senses, he had already stepped onto the small airship.
As soon as you step onto the airship, a faint, mellow aroma of wine fills the air.
The interior of the cabin was simply decorated with a touch of extravagance, paved with unidentified stone bricks in cool tones. Instead of the usual iron tables and chairs that Fu Que had seen in the airships he had previously traveled on, there were soft sofas covered with gray fur.
"I've been working for Tiger's Den for free for three years on this special-supply item. According to the original contract, I need to work for free for another two years before this airship will truly belong to me."
Under the control of the Tiger Cavalry Company Commander, the small airship silently and swiftly cut through the air, speeding towards the water fortress where Fu Que was carrying out his mission.
Although the airship was currently in an open state, Fu Que did not feel any wind pressure while speeding along, which meant that some kind of divine power was protecting them.
"What a flashy but impractical thing. Don't you have any standard airships for missions in the Tiger's Den? With these merits and points, why not use them to improve your own strength instead of taking out a loan to buy this airship? I really don't know what you were thinking."
The dragon rider took a wine jar covered in frost from a cabinet, broke the clay seal, tilted his head back and took a swig before speaking softly.
"You don't understand. Standard airships are rigid and inflexible. They can't compare to the comfort of a custom-made one. Unlike you, I've already exhausted my potential. I'll be lucky if I can reach the peak of the True Qi Realm in this lifetime. I'll enjoy it as soon as possible."
The Tiger Cavalry Company Commander set the course, his upper body nestled in the soft fur of the monster, and spoke leisurely.
The two Dragon Tiger Guards chatted casually, while Fu Que quietly sat on the sofa, taking the time to repair the damage to the Scroll Blademan, and thinking about how to use the soybean flesh puppet when he got back.
This small airship not only flew more smoothly than any of the airships Fu Que had ever ridden, but it was also extremely fast. Fu Que was fleeing for his life on his two-wheeled motorcycle, but he quickly arrived at the water village where he had previously carried out his mission in the airship.
After the massacre, the entire water village was left with only a deathly silence, and the mutilated and dried corpses of the bandits were scattered everywhere.
The airship slowly descended, and Fu Que and his two companions filed out. The two Dragon Tiger Guards exchanged a glance and instead of rushing to the main building where the blood energy fluctuations were the most intense, they strolled among the corpses scattered on the ground.
Fu Que followed closely at the back. The water stronghold was not small, but with the speed and ability of the two Dragon Tiger Cavalry, they quickly searched it thoroughly, leaving only the main building unexplored.
Just as Fu Que was about to enter the main building with the two Dragon Tiger Cavalrymen, the Tiger Cavalry Company Commander suddenly reached out and stopped him: "From now on, you don't need to go in. Just wait for us outside."
"Understood, sir."
Although Fu Que didn't know what they wanted to do, he was very sensible and had no interest in investigating. He simply took a few steps back.
Seeing this, the Dragon Rider nodded slightly, gave Fu Que an appreciative look, and then entered the main building side by side with the Tiger Rider Company Commander.
"Is the recording complete?"
Upon arriving at the high platform of the main building, looking at the several withered and limp corpses, the Tiger Cavalry Company Commander asked.
"It's all been recorded. We'll hand it over to the people at Eagle's Nest when we get back, and then we'll just wait for further orders."
"Tsk, two more familiar faces are gone. The Tiger Cavalry job is not easy."
The company commander glanced at the two Tiger Riders who were still clutching their weapons tightly in their dying moments, and said in an indescribable tone, "Do me a favor and burn them. It's an eyesore to bury them like this."
The dragon rider didn't speak, but simply flicked his finger, sending a spark flying from his fingertip and landing on the two tiger rider corpses.
Perhaps because all the blood had been drawn away, or perhaps because the dragon rider's fire elemental energy was too condensed, the flames spread rapidly and quickly devoured the tiger rider's corpse.
Fu Que didn't have to wait long before two Dragon Tiger Guards came out of the main building. As soon as they came out, the Dragon Guards tossed two large packages to Fu Que.
Fu Que instinctively caught the two packages. Both packages were heavy. The larger package contained neatly stacked gold ingots of the correct weight and gold leaves, as well as several pieces of mineral minerals inlaid with gemstones and crystals and cut flat.
The other package contained jingling porcelain bottles and wooden boxes.
"The valuables are all here, just a few scraps. We won't fight you for them. Take them and play with them yourself. Consider it a little something to calm your nerves since the mission intelligence failed."
"Dragon Rider said."
Fu Que noticed that the Tiger Cavalry Company Commander had two small jars strapped to his waist. His eyes flickered for a moment, but he didn't ask any further questions.
"Thank you both for your kindness. I will respectfully accept your offer."
He said it bluntly.
I thought you would decline.
"Dragon Rider said with a smile."
Seeing that Fu Que wanted to speak, he waved his hand again: "It was just a joke. The matter is settled. Go back first."
……
Fu Que hitched a ride back to Tiger's Den, and immediately went to the 10th Company's logistics warehouse to report his nearly scrapped rental motorcycle as lost. Then he went to the mission hall.
As soon as Fu Que stepped onto the deck of the combat barge where the mission hall was located, he saw a figure. After thinking for a moment, he walked straight over.
"I'm so glad to see you're alright. I thought I was the only one who survived this time."
Tiger Rider Number Three breathed a sigh of relief.
