Tang San wiped the water droplets from the corner of his mouth and suddenly realized.
The murky, thick substance in the water was clearly...
"Ugh!" Tang San lay on the roadside, dry heaving, tears streaming down his face.
"You dead birds!!!"
Before he could finish his rant, the flock of swifts swooped down!
Using both mouth and claws, they snatched the remaining bread from his hand when he wasn't looking!
Not even a crumb was left!
Titan wasn't spared either; the bird even turned back and chirped at them, as if mocking them.
Tang San stood there, with only dry bread crumbs left in his hand, which were easily scattered by the wind.
He turned to look at Titan.
Titan retreated in silence.
"Even you're going to abandon me?" Tang San's heart broke.
“No, no,” Titan took another half step back, “Defense is paramount! Defense is paramount!”
Tang San looked up, wanting to cry but unable to shed a tear.
He was cursed backfired, splattered with mud, and bitten by dogs!
Struck by lightning, pelted with droppings by swifts, and having your bread stolen!
Penniless and homeless!
"Ye Hua!!!" Tang San roared into the night sky, his voice filled with sorrow.
The next morning, birdsong could be heard outside the window.
Ye Hua got out of bed, opened the window, and the morning light, carrying the fragrance of grass and trees, rushed in.
Swifts perched densely on the old locust tree in the courtyard, their heads tilted and looking dazed.
Bai Chenxiang sat under the tree, scattering grains. Swallows landed on her shoulders in twos and threes, chirping.
"What? You stole his bread? Well done!"
The swifts proudly puffed out their chests, their wings flapping.
Bai Chenxiang's expression became even more interesting, "You guys even threw him into the water—oh dear! How could you do that!"
Ye Hua raised an eyebrow, it seemed Bai Chenxiang was still kind.
"Next time, invite more friends!"
Ye Hua's lips twitched. It was too early to say.
Bai Chenxiang noticed someone was watching her and turned around to meet Ye Hua's gaze.
"Night Alliance Leader! You're awake?"
"Hmm," Ye Hua climbed out the window and landed, "What are you talking about? It's so lively."
Bai Chenxiang chuckled and said, "I didn't do anything bad, I just wanted to give Tang San some fun."
"However, Tang San didn't do well last night."
Ye Hua nodded, trying hard to suppress his laughter.
"Sigh," Tianmeng Bingcan rubbed her eyes and walked out, "What's all the noise about so early in the morning?"
"So many birds! Wow, they're quite plump. Shall we catch a couple and roast them for breakfast?"
The swifts immediately scattered from their nest!
That was a very vulgar insult!
Bai Chenxiang quickly protected the calf, shouting, "Senior Tianmeng! You're not allowed to eat my friend!"
"Okay, okay," Tianmeng Bingcan stretched, "I was just kidding."
"Qilin, you were annoyed by the Spirit Hall thugs yesterday, how about you go for another stroll today?"
“Alright,” Ye Hua straightened his collar, “call the two of them.”
The fishy, tearing sound of the tent was heard, and the catfish was called out.
However, as soon as he turned onto the main street, Ye Hua sensed that something was wrong.
Most shops are closed, even breakfast stalls have shut down.
The once bustling streets are now deserted.
Only the pedestrians whispered among themselves, their expressions wary.
"Have you heard? Last night, two tea egg vendors were running all over the streets, smashing up three shops and stealing clothes!"
"They didn't just steal clothes! They even kicked down the door of Old Wang's general store and stole all the money!"
"It's pitch black! What is that?! Whose spoon is going crazy in the middle of the night?!"
"It's alright, the security forces have already launched a manhunt, they should be able to catch him."
After hearing this, Tianmeng Bingcan's face turned extremely dark.
"So, after coming all this way, we can't even go shopping?"
"Whose wretch is this, so shameless!"
“It’s alright,” Ye Hua shrugged. “The Star Luo Empire is so big, isn’t there anywhere to explore?”
"Xiangxiang, are you familiar with other cities?"
Bai Chenxiang proudly puffed out her chest, "Of course! I've been traveling all over the country with my grandfather since I was a child!"
"I've been to more than 60% of the cities in the Star Luo Empire. Wherever you want to go, I'll lead the way!"
Ye Hua nodded and took out the treasure-hunting compass from the jade bracelet.
The compass was about the size of a palm, made of bronze, with a slightly lustrous needle.
He tapped the edge of the compass lightly with his fingertip, and the needle immediately began to spin.
After swaying around a few times, it steadily pointed southwest.
"Let's go that way." Ye Hua put the compass away. "Let's just stroll around along the way, no rush."
Meanwhile, Tang San and Titan, having finally escaped their pursuit, squatted outside the city, covered in dust and dirt.
Titan gasped for breath, finally regaining his strength.
Contra's foundation is indeed profound. After half an hour of rest last night, the charred black marks from being struck by lightning have already peeled off layer by layer.
Tang San wasn't so lucky.
He also tried to use his soul power!
"hiss--"
Tang San's forehead veins bulged, and his vision blurred.
He wanted to heal, but whenever he used any soul power, he was attacked by the [self-torture domain]!
"Sect Master?" Titan quickly helped him up.
Tang San gritted his teeth and waved his hand, "It's alright! It's alright!"
Titan looked at his disheveled appearance and said, "Sect Master, I think we should go back to Tiandou City and reorganize first."
"In your condition, let alone going to Gengxin City to meet anyone, you'd be lucky if you weren't mistaken for a refugee on the street!"
Tang San nodded wearily, but a sound suddenly rang in his mind!
"Tang Ritian, my good disciple, quickly search the Grand Canyon!"
"I will wait for you here. It is an important matter for the sect, and there is no time to delay!"
Tang San's temples throbbed violently.
He clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms, barely managing to suppress his agitation.
Lost in the Grand Canyon?
This wretched place is in the southwest corner of the Star Luo Empire!
It would take at least a month to travel back and forth!
With his character, wouldn't he have been sent to his death in the past?
"This disciple understands," Tang San replied respectfully in his mind.
In fact, he had no intention of going at all!
What does your looking for Tang Ritian have to do with me, Tang San?
As for the Lost Forest, that's a deadly place!
What good things could possibly come from taking me there?!
"Elder, let's hurry!"
"Go back and reorganize first, then head over there!"
“Okay!” Titan nodded.
But he didn't know that Ye Hua had already arrived in Gengxin City before him.
Half a month passed by, and along the way, they kept an eye out for miracles, but finally stopped at Gengxin City!
The condensation of fate through the X-wheel is truly mysterious.
As Ye Hua's vision came into view, the outline of Gengxin City appeared, and the air could already faintly smell the scorching metallic scent.
The tall city wall was built with concealed bricks of unknown material, and the city gate was decorated with a huge iron anvil emblem that reflected the light of iron in the sunlight.
"How magnificent!" Bai Chenxiang exclaimed, as this was her first time here.
Tianmeng Bingcan and the others were also astonished by the city wall, marveling at the wonders of human creation.
As the carriage entered the city gate, the sides were lined with blacksmith workshops, selling everything from weapons and armor to farming tools.
The clanging and hammering of metal rose and fell, sparks flew in the furnace, and the air was filled with the white mist of quenching water.
The whole city was like a giant blacksmith's furnace, steaming hot!
Bai Chenxiang jumped off the carriage and introduced, "Gengxin City! The most famous metal capital in the entire continent! It's also the capital of blacksmiths!"
"The Divine Craftsman Lou Gao lives here. He personally crafted many of the weapons used by Title Douluo!"
"But my grandfather said that Lou Gao has a strange temper and when he's in a bad mood, he won't even give the emperor face."
“A craftsman with an eccentric temperament is either someone who doesn’t want to make money or someone who possesses unparalleled skills,” Ye Hua chuckled.
In terms of respect, would he give face to Emperor Xueye and Emperor Xingluo?
If they have a good attitude, it's fine; but if you try to force them, they won't dare.
While strolling around, Hyotei stopped and fixed his gaze on something.
Chapter 375 Forced Sale? The Divine Craftsman's Tower is High!
"Take a look! Don't miss it!"
"A masterpiece by the master craftsman Lou Gao, priceless and unavailable on the market, take a look!"
"Hey? Miss, take a look?"
A short merchant in a purple and gold outfit, with a triangular face, goatee, and glasses, waved to Hyotei.
Hyotei immediately took a liking to the hair clip; its streamlined silver-white metal was polished smooth, and its edges were adorned with a fine snowflake-like openwork pattern.
"That's beautiful!"
The merchant immediately perked up, "This young lady has a good eye!"
"This is one of a kind in the whole world!"
"You have a refined and elegant temperament, this is such a perfect match for you!"
