Chapter 333: The Greatest Treasure
“Brother Hachikuju, who is Su Rui?”
Zhang Mu, riding with Yuan Rui on the Obsidian Beetle alongside Hachikuju, asked, interested in knowing more about Su Rui based solely on rumors.
Hachikuju seemed a bit dismissive and casually said, “He’s just a pretentious fake gentleman, his real strength is average among our eight war rider leaders.”
Being average means being at the third level.
“So, compared to Su Rui and Brother Hachikuju, who is stronger?”
Unexpectedly, Hachikuju fell into deep thought for a moment, then replied to Zhang Mu, “We leaders of the Eight War Riders have never fought at full force against each other, just sparred lightly.”
But judging from Su Rui’s strength shown during the previous city recapture, the gap between us shouldn’t be too big.
His archery skills have made Su Rui known as the best archer on the grasslands. His ability at the first awakening, dynamic vision.
For example, after activating his awakening ability, in his eyes, the speed of all moving objects slows down several times, coupled with his natural talent in archery, he never misses a shot.
Also, his mutated warhorse named Green Sky is only slightly slower than my Red Blood at full speed. It’s a headache to deal with on the vast grasslands. He once led away thousands of mutated beasts by himself.
At that time, only the second-rank mutated beast king of the beast group could catch up to his Green Sky, but whenever the beast king approached, Su Rui would shoot it with an arrow, keeping his distance and buying time for our plan.”
“Not to mention this boy’s character, his archery skills are truly remarkable.”
When talking about the previous battle, Hachikuju couldn’t help but show admiration for Su Rui in her eyes. She proudly patted her mount Red Blood and said, “Not many can surpass his variant beast Green Sky in terms of speed, but my Red Blood is one of them. And now, with your beetle that can rival Red Blood, we have gained another formidable ally.”
Red Blood seemed to understand Hachikuju’s words, letting out a confident and resounding neigh.
“If the distance is kept, I will likely lose. However, if I manage to get close, Su Rui won’t have many tricks up his sleeve. Having quick reflexes doesn’t mean his own body’s reaction speed can keep up.”
Hachikuju raised the huge axe in her hand, adding, “Just like I said.”
As Hachikuju mentioned, having quick reflexes is just a basic awakening ability with significant flaws. Even if it shows advantages in the early stages, it won’t allow Su Rui to reach that level of growth in the later stages.
There must be some secrets on Su Rui.
Zhang Mu paused for a moment and continued, “Brother Hachikuju, do you know about Su Rui’s second-rank new awakening ability?”
Hachikuju shook her head and slowly replied, “I really don’t know. Things were fine at the first rank, but ever since the eight of us separately advanced to second rank, we started to be cautious of each other.”
Even when cleaning the city, we never exposed ourselves, so we don’t know each other’s true strength, but I don’t think it will be much different from the first level.”
Zhang Mu had a feeling that Su Rui was a very dangerous person.
Compared to Hachikuju, Su Rui seemed more like a wolf, hiding in dark corners, ready to strike at any moment, just not showing his fangs yet.
Both of them remained silent, then Hachikuju suddenly spoke, “Brother Zhang Mu, let’s start calling for help directly now. The four sub-cities near Ordos are all about the same distance. Su Rui is already here, so if we summon the other two leaders of the war riders directly, we can quickly solve what you need to do.”
Zhang Mu looked curious, turned to Hachikuju and asked, “Brother, I want to ask how you gather each other, do you use riders to deliver messages?”
Hachikuju waved his hand and said, “It would be too much trouble to send four people back and forth. We have our own way, it’s just located in the capital’s stables.”
After speaking, Hachikuju took out a small black box from his pocket, placed it in his hand, and effortlessly flipped open the lid of the black box to show Zhang Mu what was inside.
Inside, there was a completely golden silkworm, lying quietly, looking as if it were dead.
At first sight, Zhang Mu knew what the golden silkworm was and how it specifically served as a way of communication with Hachikuju and his group.
It’s another creation from the Era Store!
“We bought this golden silkworm from those merchants. A set consists of one mother silkworm and four baby silkworms. When we show hostility towards the mother silkworm, the baby silkworms will become restless. This information can be transmitted to every warhorse leader through a small box that can be carried close to the body.
The mother silkworm is usually kept carefully in the horse farm, not only to guard against those intending to tame the grassland eagles.
If that’s all, it would be a waste. We have paid a large number of beast cores and elemental crystals.
It is mainly used when the capital city is in danger and needs to summon the leaders. Each person will be rewarded with five thousand elemental crystals, enough to motivate them to make the trip.”
It seems unlikely that there would be another junior Era Sub-merchant at this time. Unexpectedly, among the merchants forming the alliance, someone can exceed the required amount for a single Era Merchant task. Similar to the last time, this person persuaded the Era Merchant to temporarily grant junior Era Sub-merchant privileges.
When Su Rui revealed the second-rank healing potion, he began to suspect. Along with the previous golden silk softshell and the current mother and baby golden silkworms, Zhang Mu’s hunch was confirmed.
As they spoke, Hachikuju and Zhang Mu saw a tall city wall in front of them. Although it was about twenty meters high, slightly shorter than the previous one, it had a similar architectural style to the tower, resembling a city within a city.
If Zhang Mu were to sit on the back shell of the Obsidian Beetle and rise into the sky to overlook the entire Ordos City, he would be amazed to discover a horrifying fact.
This horse ranch actually occupies one-third of the area in Ordos City!
The sharp-eyed soldiers had already seen the figure of Hachikuju. The news from the city tower had already been passed here. They didn’t dare to provoke the ill-tempered Hachikuju today, so they quickly opened the city gate.
Hachikuju rode in slowly with Red Blood and Zhang Mu. Watching the many soldiers around who dared not look at him, he asked Zhang Mu, “My dear Zhang Mu, do I look terrifying now?”
Zhang Mu just smiled and said nothing, but secretly complained in his heart.
“Others are just worried that you, Hachikuju, will demolish their horse ranch gate again.”
Once inside, it was a vast grassland as far as the eye could see. Tall mutant war horses could be seen playing, chasing, and running in the lush grassland.
Not only war horses, but also mutated cows and sheep could be vaguely seen among them, but their sizes were concealed by the overgrown wild grass.
What a beautiful scene of cows and sheep grazing in the grass as the wind blows.
Hachikuju looked at the two mesmerized people and slowly said one sentence.
“This is our capital city, the biggest treasure.”
