Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 701-Chapter 833)

“Oh, nothing. It’s just some goods!”


Goldie A’bao sensed the surrounding gazes begin to change. He thought, Oh no, I actually miscalculated this! If he were to say right now that the basket contained nothing important, probably no one would believe him apart from the naive lad who asked him about it, unless he could get “sir A’yue” to show himself. However, “sir A’yue” clearly had no intentions of doing that.

Li Qingshan sat in the basket quietly and sneered slightly, This labourer of mine just happens to not be strong enough!

Huangliang Fei exchanged glances with his companions. They had heard that Goldie A’bao had sold a wondrous item for a hundred taels of gold during his visit to the Fragrant Flower market last time. Coupled with the minerals, it was quite the profit. Was it all perhaps in the basket? Only the lad failed to notice the change in the atmosphere, asking about the appearance of the Bone Eating people fearfully and excitedly.

Normally, not a lot of people would consider robbing merchant groups. Even if they succeeded in an ambush, the retribution from Goldie fort would not be a joke. With Goldie A’bao’s current miserable state, Huangliang Fei was confident he could kill him alone, and absolutely no one would know he had been here. The people from Goldie Fort would only think that the Bone Eating people had picked him clean! He could obtain the items in the basket without taking any risk. An opportunity like this was extremely rare.

Malice pervaded the surroundings of the fire. Goldie A’bao suddenly fell silent, lowering his head and trembling.

A sliver of disdain flashed through Huangliang Fei’s eyes. He never thought an old merchant would actually become so terrified. He bent over and kept up the farce. “Uncle A’bao, are you alright?”

Goldie A’bao said nothing, not because he did not want to, but because he could not. Currently, a tiny hand had extended out of a crack in the basket and pressed against his back gently. Warmth flowed out, making his blood bubble as if endless power was surging through his body and filling every nook and cranny.

Huangliang Fei had already reached towards the hilt of his blade. Goldie A’bao suddenly raised his head, his face completely red and slightly twisted. He grabbed Huangliang Fei by the throat in one fell swoop and was about to crush it when a childish voice rang out from the basket, “Don’t kill them!”

Goldie A’bao struck Huangliang Fei in the chest with his other hand, and with a thump, Huangliang Fei’s ribs cracked. He had already been sent flying. Only then did he return to his senses, overcome by shock. Since when did his martial arts become so powerful? Who is the child in the basket!?

“Uncle A’bao, what are you doing?” The lad cried out, but the shouts of his companions drowned out his voice.

Clang! The barbarians all drew their blades and swung them wildly at Goldie A’bao. They kicked up a gust of wind, which made the fire flicker. Their shadows danced about like ghosts.

Goldie A’bao punched out with both hands and sent another two barbarians flying, but he was unable to evade the other weapons. Suddenly, a few fire snakes leapt out from the bonfire and shot towards the eyes of the barbarians.

“Fire!” “Argh!”

The barbarians were fierce, but their vital points had been suddenly attacked, so they covered their eyes instinctively and howled out. How could Goldie A’bao let an opportunity like that slip away? He swung his legs and fists, beating these barbarians of Huangliang beach until they keeled over. Although he followed Li Qingshan’s order and did not kill them, they all suffered from broken bones and heavy injuries.

In a heartbeat, the battle had already ended.

Goldie A’bao gazed at his hands. He struggled to believe that this was his strength. He felt like he had not even used all of it yet!

“Don’t celebrate too early. You might end up shortening your life!” Li Qingshan leapt out from the basket.

“Ah! Shortening my life?”



“I’ve completely unleashed the potential of your body. When this strength subsides, you might die!” Li Qingshan chuckled.

“You-” Goldie A’bao’s face changed. His excitement immediately turned into fury, but when he met the scarlet eyes, he dropped to the ground with a plop and cried out, “Please save me, sir A’yue!” Since he was bold enough to say it openly, he clearly was not afraid of him knowing.

Li Qingshan smiled in satisfaction. If he dared to rise up from a single statement, then he would have to consider replacing his labourer. He walked over to the side of the bonfire and extended his finger. The flames assumed various shapes.

“You don’t mind eating people, right?”

“Ah!”

Goldie A’bao gazed at the barbarians on the ground. You didn’t want me to kill them because you want me to be like the Bone Eating tribe…

He gritted his teeth and said reluctantly, “I don’t mind. Sir A’yue, do you know the shaman magic of the Bone Eating tribe?” As long as he could live, he was willing to do anything!

“That’s good then. I don’t know any shaman magic, but I did receive some inspiration. Bring that Huang guy over!”

“Yes!”

Goldie A’bao brought Huangliang Fei over to Li Qingshan and pressed him against the ground. Li Qingshan placed his hand on his forehead. Huangliang Fei, who was already on his last breath, began to struggle violently before suddenly collapsing limply.

Li Qingshan cupped a bright-red ball of fire in his hands. This was all of the life force in Huangliang Fei’s body, or in other words, this was his flame of life. The whole reason behind Bone Eating tribesmen eating people was to devour this life force. This power was overly impure to him, where it would bring no benefit, but it was without a doubt the perfect supplement to mortals.

“Open up!”

With a gentle flick, the flames flew towards Goldie A’bao’s mouth. Goldie A’bao opened his mouth in a hurry and felt a warmth flow into his belly and expand. He riled up with vigour. “Thank you, sir A’yue!”

Li Qingshan nodded. Danger was getting closer, so he would nurture this only subordinate of his a little, just in case he was useless when he needed him.

“The next one!”





Chapter 710: Pursuit and Flight | Legend of the Great Sage




The night grew deeper, and the reeking of blood became even heavier. The corpse of a pack animal collapsed in the centre of the path, but no vicious beasts approached it. They circled around it in the distance before fleeing into the depths of the jungle as if they had been frightened off.

The grey eye of the pack animal suddenly moved, and a black insect squirmed out, turning around and squirming back in. The huge body of the pack animal was riddled with holes, revealing its bloody bones. A large, multicoloured spider claimed the pack animal all for itself, plunging its fangs through its skull and sucking up the brain juices.

The insects of various sizes had already completely claimed this space. There were everywhere, in the sky and on the ground; it was as if they were the masters of the jungle.

Specks of green light suddenly lit up in the darkness. They were pairs of eyes. Hideous figures emerged from the forest one by one—the shamans of the Bone-eating tribe were here!

“Chief, it’s right here!” The shaman who Li Qingshan had frightened away said to the colossal figure in front of him fearfully.

“Gu insects? They have shamans among them?”

The Bone Eating chieftain looked back and said. No one would have thought he had once been a human. White, curled teeth protruded out of his mouth as his arms rippling with muscle draped right to the ground, like a mix between a black bear and a gorilla, except the hair on him was a little thin. His voice was like the growl of a wild beast, filled with an imposing force.

“No, there shouldn’t be!”
