Gods: Start with Goblins

But isn't it too much to say that? Although our Lu family is not a top family, we are also somewhat famous in this area. Aren't you afraid of offending our Lu family by looking down on us so much? "

Hearing this, Luo Dan just shook his head and said with a smile: "Offending the Lu family? So what? Why should I, Luo Dan, consider other people's opinions when doing things? If you, the Lu family, want to take revenge, just come. But I advise you to take care of your own lives first."

"Boy, I don't blame you for not having good eyesight. After all, how many people in this world can really recognize gems?" Lu Ren narrowed his eyes, with a subtle threat in his tone, but on the surface he pretended to be persuading him, "But if you refuse, you will probably miss the only chance in your life. This opportunity doesn't come every day, and you can never get it back if you miss it. But don't be stupid, don't do things you shouldn't do, lest you regret it in the future."

As he spoke, he paused deliberately, observing Luo Dan's expression, trying to find any sign of hesitation. However, Luo Dan just smiled faintly, without any emotion.

Seeing this, Lu Ren couldn't help but feel anxious. He knew that they were really desperate this time. If Luo Dan was unwilling to help them, they would probably die. So, he took a deep breath, tried to restrain his noble air, and tried to make himself look humble.

"Mr. Luo, we do need your help." He said in a low voice, "The aristocratic family is not a very powerful family, and we are not using this to threaten you. I just want to say that if you are willing to help, we will be very grateful. Moreover, I can assure you that even if you can't cure us, our family will not vent our anger on you and will not blame you. We in the Lu family have always been clear about gratitude and resentment, and we will not do such things as repaying kindness with enmity."

Having said this, he paused deliberately to give Luo Dan time to digest his words. At the same time, he secretly observed Luo Dan's expression, trying to find a hint of affection in it.

However, Luo Dan just smiled faintly and did not answer immediately. This made Lu Ren feel a little uneasy, for he was afraid that Luo Dan would reject their request.

"Mr. Luo, I know what you might be worried about." Seeing this, Lu Ren hurriedly continued, "Don't worry, our Lu family will never let you suffer any loss. I can assure you that the reward you will receive will definitely be generous and will definitely be worth your effort. All of us can assure you in the name of the Lu family that as long as you are willing to help, we will do our best to repay your kindness."

As he said this, he turned around and looked at the people behind him, motioning them to express their opinions as well. Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, and some even said, "Mr. Luo, don't worry, our Lu family keeps their word and will never let you suffer any loss."

Luo Dan looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little shaken. He knew that this opportunity was indeed a rare opportunity for him. If he could cure these people, he would not only get a generous reward, but also be able to make friends with a noble family, which would undoubtedly be a huge help for him.

However, he still had some concerns. After all, he didn't know the details of these people, and he didn't know if they would really keep their word. If he couldn't cure them, or if they changed their minds, wouldn't he be in danger?

He thought, for the other party, this is definitely a good thing with no harm. Not only can he get a generous reward, but he can also make a powerful friend. Such a good thing, the other party will definitely not refuse it, right? He secretly calculated in his heart, and a confident smile appeared on his face, as if he had seen the scene of Luo Dan nodding and agreeing.

Unfortunately, he still underestimated Luo Dan, and the backbone and pride of people like Luo Dan. Luo Dan was not the kind of person who would be moved by a little favor. He had his own principles and bottom line, and would not easily change because of other people's requests.

Hearing this, Luo Dan just curled his lips and sneered. There was a trace of disdain in his eyes, as if he was watching an ignorant clown performing.

"Oh, do you think you can easily impress me like this?" Luo Dan said coldly, his voice full of sarcasm, "Do you think I care about your so-called noble family, your help, and your request for help? It's ridiculous! We are originally two teams, each of us has our own way. Sorry, don't bother me, I don't like to care about other people's affairs!"

After saying that, he was about to leave without even stopping, as if everything here had nothing to do with him. His back looked so determined and firm, as if no force could stop him from moving forward.

Lu Ren's eyes moved, and he was really a little flustered. He never expected that Luo Dan would reject him so firmly, and with such a tough attitude. He was so anxious that he didn't even care about his image, and shouted: "Stop him!"

The other men reacted after hearing this. They also knew that if Luo Dan left, they might really have no chance of survival. So, they stepped forward to stop Luo Dan. Some reached out to pull his arm, while others stood directly in front of him.

"Stop, don't leave!" One of them had already drawn a knife, the tip of the knife pointed directly at Luo Dan, his eyes full of threats, "If you dare to leave, don't blame us for being rude!"

Luo Dan stopped and turned to look at the man with the knife, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. He did not back down because of the threat, but strengthened his determination. He said coldly: "Do you think you can threaten me with a knife? I tell you, Luo Dan has never been scared. If you know what's good for you, you'd better get out of the way, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the two sides were on the verge of a fierce conflict. Lu Ren looked at this scene and became even more anxious. He knew that if Luo Dan really left, they might really have no hope. So he quickly stepped forward and tried to persuade Luo Dan.

"Mr. Luo, listen to me, we really are asking for your help sincerely. As long as you are willing to help, we will do our best to repay your kindness. Why should you give up such a good opportunity just for a momentary impulse?" Lu Ren said earnestly, hoping that Luo Dan could change his mind.

When Luo Dan stopped, the others quickly surrounded him, forming an airtight circle. Some of them held long knives, while others clenched their fists, their eyes flashing with vigilance and determination, as if they would immediately launch an attack if Luo Dan made the slightest move. Luo Dan glanced around, but his eyes were calm, as if it was not him who was surrounded by a group of ants, but others. He raised a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, and his tone was a bit teasing: "Why, it seems that you are going to use force, and force me? Is this the style of you, the children of the aristocratic family?"

Lu Ren stared at him with his eyes, as if there was a deep ocean hidden in his eyes, with turbulent waves and a hint of subtle depth and calculation. He spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful: "Master Luo, don't blame us, we have no choice. We are now poisoned, and the poison is gradually spreading. Our bodies are burning and we are in excruciating pain. We just want to detoxify and survive. If Master Luo is not going to cooperate, we can only use this method."

Hearing this, Luo Dan turned around and looked at Lu Ren, who seemed calm but was actually full of threats. He sneered, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. His tone was cold and unquestionable, "Lu Ren, you take yourself too seriously. Do you think that you can threaten me, Luo Dan, with just a few of you? You are not qualified to threaten me!"

As he said this, he did not move at all, just standing there, not dodging or evading, letting them rush over. His eyes flashed with provocation and disdain, as if to say: "Come on, if you have the guts, come together and see if you have the ability to make me, Luo Dan, bow my head!"

Seeing this, the people around him showed hesitation. Although they were poisoned and anxious, Luo Dan's tough attitude made them a little timid. After all, Luo Dan's reputation was well-known, and his strength and means were not something they could easily provoke.

Seeing this, Lu Ren's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He knew that the arrow had to be shot. If Luo Dan refused to cooperate, they would have to resort to violence. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Master Luo, you forced us to do this. Brothers, go! Capture him and force him to detoxify us!"

Following Lu Ren's order, the people around him were ready to move. Some had already taken steps, while others tightly grasped their weapons, ready to attack at any time. However, at this moment, Luo Dan suddenly spoke, his voice was cold and majestic, as if it came from the underworld: "Humph, do you really think that I, Luo Dan, can be manipulated by others? Let me tell you, if anyone dares to touch me today, I guarantee that he will not live to see tomorrow!"

These people looked at each other, with hesitation and uncertainty in their eyes. They originally thought that with the advantage of numbers, they could easily force Luodan to surrender. However, when Luodan really showed that he was unmoved and ready to leave, they began to hesitate. After all, Luodan's reputation was well-known, and his strength and means were not something they could easily provoke.

Seeing that these people did not make any move, Luo Dan sneered, and his laugh was full of ridicule and disdain. He slowly spoke, his tone cold and firm: "Since you are not going to make a move, then I will leave first. I don't have time to waste here with you."

After saying that, he turned around and planned to continue walking down the mountain, leaving here just like that, as if everything here had nothing to do with him. His back looked so determined and firm, as if no force could stop him from moving forward.

Now the others couldn't wait any longer. They couldn't let Luo Dan leave so easily. One of them shouted, "Don't leave. You must stay and treat our companions today, or you can't leave here!"

The man had long been dissatisfied with Luo Dan's arrogant attitude, and now he was going for a killing move. He waved the long sword in his hand and rushed towards Luo Dan fiercely, the sword flashing with a fierce murderous aura.

However, before the man could rush to Luodan, Luodan kicked him over. Luodan's movements were as fast as lightning, and his strength was amazing. The man only felt a huge force coming, and his body suddenly lost balance and fell heavily to the ground.

The others suffered similar fates. Luo Dan punched them left and right, easily knocking them down one by one. His movements were agile and nimble, like a cheetah hunting its prey. Under his attack, these people had no power to fight back at all.

After a while, these people fell to the ground, their faces full of disbelief. They never thought that Luo Dan's strength would be so strong, so strong that they felt fear and dread.

"How, how could this happen? How could this be possible?" A man was lying on the ground, muttering to himself, "How can you be so powerful? Impossible, this must be impossible!"

Others echoed this, their eyes full of shock and fear. They began to realize that they had really hit a wall this time and had offended someone they couldn't afford to offend.

Luo Dan stood there, looking at these people coldly, with a hint of mockery in his eyes. He spoke slowly, his tone cold and majestic: "Humph, do you think you can keep me, Luo Dan, with just a few of you? Let me tell you, if I, Luo Dan, want to leave, no one can stop me!"

Luo Dan sneered, and the laughter echoed in the cold snowy mountain, carrying a bit of chill and mockery. He spoke slowly, his tone full of disdain: "What is impossible? If I didn't have the ability, how could I come to this snowy mountain alone, and how could I come to collect spiritual herbs? Do you think this snowy mountain is a place where anyone can come? The severe cold and danger here are beyond your imagination. I can only say that you really underestimated me, and you deserve it!"

The faces of these people turned completely black. They had previously thought that Luodan had only relied on a little bit of cleverness and luck to dare to come to the snow mountain alone. Now it seemed that they were completely wrong. Luodan's strength was far beyond their imagination. But because they had been beaten by Luodan before, their bodies were covered with wounds and the pain was unbearable. They did not dare to fight Luodan again. They could only watch Luodan with fear and dread in their eyes.

Seeing Luo Dan was about to leave, Lu Ren finally got anxious. He ignored the pain in his body, stood up suddenly, and shouted: "Don't leave, you haven't rescued us yet, don't leave like this!" His voice was filled with anxiety and pleading, and it was obvious that he was really scared. (End of this chapter)
