Guo Shi stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his fists clenched so tightly that his fingertips were nearly digging into his palms.
Ming Zhi Tian carefully caressed and examined the crystal clear, white jade flute. Intricate, flawless sky-blue high orchids, inlaid from the outside, were carved upon it, appearing lifelike and beautiful.
Several people cast envious glances at Ming Zhi Tian, then looked at the hundred thousand yuan coins in their own pockets, feeling a sense of loss.
Ming Zhi Tian spoke dismissively, "It's still flawed, needs washing. There's saliva on it, someone obviously blew into it. A flaw, a flaw, tsk tsk tsk." He then tucked the high orchid jade flute into his waist.
Ming Zhi Tian had indeed contributed to the killing of the Steel Armored Bear Beast, but seeing his reckless behavior now, Guo Shi wished he could grab a steel block and stab him in the back.
Guo Shi cupped his fists, "Thanks to everyone's mutual assistance, we managed to defeat the Steel Armored Bear Beast. Here, Guo Shi once again thanks everyone for their cooperation. Next, as promised, I will lead you all to the second largest training sanctuary in this ancient relic mountain. Come, follow me."
Ming Zhi Tian asked suspiciously, "Why the second largest? What about the first? Oh, I see. Could it be that Brother Guo intends to monopolize the first training sanctuary?"
Guo Shi suppressed his anger, "Brother Bai, you may not know, but the largest training sanctuary in the ancient relic mountain not only has countless Steel Armored Bear Beasts, but also many Steel Armored Bear Beast Leaders. I'm not taking you there for your safety. Relatively speaking, the second largest is undoubtedly the best training sanctuary. Although there are still many Iron Armored Fierce Beasts, they pose no threat to us."
Ming Zhi Tian inquired, "You just said... there are Steel Armored Bear Beast Leaders there? How do they compare to the Steel Armored Bear Beasts?"
Guo Shi showed a look of extreme dread, "Let me put it this way, ten Steel Armored Bear Beasts might not be able to defeat one Steel Armored Bear Beast Leader."
Ming Zhi Tian was taken aback. Guo Shi waved his hand and said, "Brother Bai, don't panic. We are only going to the second training sanctuary, which is very safe."
Wen Mian Yang was somewhat impatient, "Please lead the way, Brother Guo."
Guo Shi nodded, "Of course, follow me!"
Guo Shi suddenly unleashed his speed, moving at an incredible pace! Seeing this, the others quickly followed; if they fell behind, they would miss out.
The five of them sprinted for a day and a night, finally reaching the destination Guo Shi had mentioned.
Here, surrounded by mountains and water, the area was vast, with abundant resources of herbs and game. There was no shortage of food, drink, or places for healing and training. They could easily spend two months here.
Guo Yuan Wen flattered them, "Aren't you all going to thank Senior Brother Guo Shi for bringing you to this sacred place? Otherwise, you might run your legs off and still not find it."
Wen Mian Yang and Wen Zhen Chi quickly smiled and cupped their fists in salutation to Guo Shi, "Thank you, Brother Guo, for leading the way. We, the Wen family, owe you a great debt!"
Ming Zhi Tian, following suit, was very casual and had no qualms about his status, "Thank you, Brother Guo."
Guo Shi felt annoyed just looking at him, so he simply refused to look at him and brushed away his sleeve.
Wen Mian Yang and Wen Zhen Chi were secretly amused, while Ming Zhi Tian calmly followed, and the others trailed behind.
As the five of them stepped into the training ground, a threatening voice sounded behind them, "What are you doing here?"
Guo Shi recognized the voice and immediately turned around, followed by the others.
Guo Shi's pupils widened, "Guo Wang Qiang?! Guo Xi Rang!"
Before them stood two men dressed in pink. Strangely, they were also wearing lipstick, appearing somewhat effeminate.
However, judging by Guo Shi's expression, these two individuals were likely stronger than him, and Guo Shi was very wary of them.
Guo Wang Qiang spoke, "Guo Shi? Is this a place you can come to? Get out quickly, or don't blame us for being impolite."
Cold sweat beaded on Guo Shi's forehead. He dared to take a step forward and bowed, cupping his fists, "But no one has been here before, and I was the first to discover it. Could the two senior brothers please be accommodating..."
Guo Xi Rang's anger flared, "Nonsense! Guo Shi, don't think that just because you're from the Guo family we won't dare to kill you. If you don't leave, you'll stay here!"
