657. Black Smoke Valley (1)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
“Senior, what do you mean?” Asked a man, frowning.
“Nothing. The world is too dangerous, so I’ve got a good job for you.” A gray-haired man, holding his hands behind, said with a faint smile.
“What is it?” Asked a cultivator defensively.
“This valley is called Black Smoke Valley, which produces a kind of black smoke stones.” With a stroke of the old man’s hand, the image of the black smoke stones immediately appeared on the front of the everyone, “Go in there, find the stones, and you can exchange them for potions, star crystals and weapons from me. As long as you can find some, you can exchange for whatever you want. What do you say? This job is safe and comfortable, really suitable for you guys.” The grey-haired man said blandly.
A female cultivator looked both frightened and angry, “I don’t want to stay in this hell-like place, let me...”
Before the woman could finish her words, her head and neck parted, and the red blood spurted out, burning everyone’s eyes.
Mo Fei looked at the scene with some fright and could not help hiding behind Lou Yu.
When on the star ship, Mo Fei had ever seen that female cultivator once. It was said she was a lady from a small family, who had been spoiled since she was young. When on the star ship, she kept complaining this and that.
‘Who else wouldn’t like to stay here?” The gray-haired man asked with a smile.
Mo Fei shrank his neck, hiding among the crowd, and did not respond.
“Since no one objects, then release them to look for black smoke stones in the valley.” Said the old man.
A few men in black then unsealed them, and cleared a way out. Mo Fei and others could only go into the Black Smoke Valley reluctantly.
Outside the valley, a few stewards were chatting idly.
“More and more people have died in the Valley recently, but less and less of black smoke stones are taken out.”
“Now Blood Demon Sect would declare war against our Luoxia Sect any time. And the black smoke stones are the indispensable ingredients for refining the demon-chopping knives.”
“There won’t be any problem about the background of this batch of cultivators, right? Unlike last time, someone pissed off that old thing’s grandson?”
Black Smoke Valley was a very strange place. Cultivators above the xuan class would die in it quietly. So in order to obtain the black smoke stones inside, Wu Family would catch a lot of human class cultivators every year and forced them in to look for the stones.
Three years ago, the Wu Family mistakenly caught the heavenly class star magician Mu Ya’s grandson Mu Fei, which pissed him off. Then he followed all the way here and killed a lot of people. And then, the grand elder of Wu Family tried to negotiate with him and only pressed it down after making a great amount of compensations.
Since then, the Wu Family wouldn’t dare catch human class cultivators randomly.
“Don’t worry, the people I brought this time were all selected from the territory of Huatian Sect. Huatian was at war with Yingui Sect. These people, not wanting to get involved in the war, just came with me as I said I could give them a safe place. ”
“From Huatian Sect? On the territory of Huatian Sect only has that Dongfang old man, nothing to fear.”
“For some human class cultivators, he wouldn’t take all the way here to for them.”
“As long as we are safe, even if it takes us more time to find those people. If we always catch people on our place, we’d often bring in some trouble, and other sects also have a word about us. But those cultivators without names, no one would care about them at all.”
“...”
As Mo Fei and Lou Yu went into the valley, they met with Qian Ye and others. The valley covered a very large area, Mo Fei’s soul force could still be used, but the searching area was only one tenth.
“The black smoke in this place gives me a very bad feeling.” Su Rong frowned.
Mo Yi nodded, “I also have this feeling.”
Lou Yu looked at Mo Fei and asked, “Have you found anything?”
“There’s a person in that direction who seems to be dying.” Mo Fei said.
“Let’s go and have a look,” Lou Yu said thoughtfully. “We know nothing about this place. If we can find someone to ask, that’d be good.”
“I agree.” Mo Fei nodded.
“Ah!” As Su Rong saw the person on the ground, he could not help but let out a growl.
The person on the ground had the face covered with black spots, looking extremely horrible.
Lou Yu looked at Mo Fei and asked, “Are you ok?”
Mo Fei nodded, “Sure. It’s him who’s got a problem!”
Then he took out a restorative potion and handed it to Lou Yu, saying, “You feed him.”
Lou Yu nodded, took the potion, fed it into that person’s mouth, after taking it, the person on the ground slowly opened his eyes.
