"Thank you very much!" Guhan, who was missing a leg, and the girl named Liu Yunyue walked at the back of the group.
After learning that Guhan had turned from a famed sword-bearer to a complete piece of trash, the other sword-bearers no longer had any interest in talking to Guhan. They didn't even look at Guhan. The girl named Liu Yunyue still maintained a trace of kindness and generously accepted Guhan. She even shared what little food she had with Guhan.
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Compared to those snobbish sword-bearers, Liu Yunyue's generosity touched Guhan. At the same time, Guhan made up his mind that when he returned to Yuzhang City, he would definitely give this girl some rewards to repay her kindness.
At the same time, Guhan also learned from Liu Yunyue why this small group had appeared in such a dangerous area.
In fact, the source of the matter was Liu Yunyue. It was said that Liu Yunyue's ancestor had also produced a top-notch sword-bearer. However, this matter had happened a very long time ago. After hundreds of years, Liu Yunyue's family had even forgotten the name of that top-notch sword-bearer. They only knew that such a sword-bearer had indeed existed.
Ever since that top-notch sword-bearer, Liu Yunyue's family had never produced another sword-bearer. That sword-bearer only existed in the family's legends and stories for future generations to brag about, to pat their chests and brag to others. "Back then, my family also had an Immortal Sword level sword-bearer!"
Fortunately, Liu Yunyue's family had never experienced any major disasters, and the family's property had not been damaged. Therefore, Liu Yunyue's family still had a lot of old items from hundreds of years ago. The reason for this operation was because of these old things.
Two months ago, Liu Yunyue had successfully synchronized with a man-made swordmistress in the sword pavilion and became an ancient sword-bearer.
After hundreds of years, another swordsman had appeared in the clan. This caused the entire Liu Yunyue's clan to be in a state of celebration. Hundreds of clan members gathered together to celebrate for Liu Yunyue, as if the revival of the clan was just around the corner.
However, after the celebration was over, the oldest elder in Liu Yunyue's family, who was said to be Liu Yunyue's great uncle, quietly pulled Liu Yunyue's hand and led her into a warehouse filled with all sorts of ancient items.
This great uncle said to Liu Yunyue in a trembling voice. There was a saying that had been passed down in the family since ancient times. If there was a descendant who could become a sword bearer again, he should come here. There would be a treasure waiting for him.
In the beginning, Liu Yunyue didn't take this to heart because the room was filled with broken ancient objects. Liu Yunyue carefully searched around two or three times but didn't find anything that could be called a treasure.
However, in order to not make her great uncle sad, Liu Yunyue randomly picked a music box that looked relatively intact and brought it back.
That night, when Liu Yunyue was playing with the music box, she was surprised to find that the little person on the music box could actually be taken out. There was a small note hidden in the little person's stomach.
She didn't know how many years this music box had been through, but the note inside the music box was still as white as new, as if it had just been placed inside.
Through reading the words on this small piece of paper, Liu Yunyue discovered a shocking secret.
It turned out that this music box had been left behind by Liu Yunyue's sword bearer ancestor. This ancestor said on the note that before he died, he had a premonition that his clan would not have a successor and would enter a decline.
In order to prevent the treasures he left behind from being squandered by his disdainful descendants, Liu Yunyue's ancestor had buried these precious treasures in a mysterious place. If anyone in the future became a sword bearer, they could find the treasures left behind by the ancestor according to the treasure map left behind on the note, allowing the clan to rise again.
Normally, after seeing the contents of the note, people would definitely hide the note securely. They wouldn't reveal it to anyone and would secretly take away the treasures themselves!
Or they could wait until they were strong enough to find the buried treasures.
However, Liu Yunyue was a pure and cute girl. She actually gave this note to her clan because she felt that the wealth belonged to her clan and not her alone. She couldn't enjoy the wealth alone.
When Liu Yunyue's clan found out that their ancestor had buried such a fortune, they immediately fell into a state of ecstasy.
These people were used to living in poverty, but once they found out that their family still had a huge amount of wealth hidden outside, they could no longer be at ease. All they talked about was this wealth, and how good of a life they could live after obtaining it.
As a result, the poor days they were used to became hard to get used to. No one was willing to continue waiting like this. They wanted to immediately take out this fortune.
However, looking at the location marked on the map, it was a place between Yanjing City and Yuzhang City. With just the power of an ancient sword bearer, it was impossible to take it out.
After a discussion, these people decided to form a team of sword bearers and let this team take out the fortune. At the same time, they were willing to give a third of the fortune to these sword bearers as compensation.
Then, these people suddenly became smarter. They felt that they couldn't invite sword bearers of too high a level. Otherwise, if those sword bearers wanted to swallow the fortune, they couldn't do anything about it. They could only choose some ancient or treasure sword bearers. This way, the risk of the fortune being swallowed was very low. At the same time, the only sword bearer in the clan, Liu Yunyue, wouldn't lose the right to speak in the team.
In order to prevent the news from spreading, Liu Yunyue's clan decided not to publicly announce the mission. Instead, they used the relationship of the clan head to invite trustworthy sword bearers who had a certain level of relationship to join.
Liu Yunyue's clan was just a normal clan. How many sword bearers could she know?
How many of them were related by blood?
So in the end, they only managed to invite a mere 12 sword bearers. Among them, two were treasure sword bearers, and 10 were ancient sword bearers. Including Liu Yunyue, there were 13 people.
As the saying goes, the ignorant are fearless. At the same time, they were blinded by the wealth. So, these ancient and treasure sword bearers prepared to come to this dangerous place to dig up the fortune.
But in the end, someone leaked the news, and a famous swordsman from London, Mellauer, took the initiative to look for her. He expressed his desire to join the team, and at the same time, he wanted to get 10% of the team's wealth. Otherwise, she would make the news public.
After being threatened by Mellauer, the others had no choice but to pinch their noses and accept the threat. So, a team of 14 people was formed. They first took the heavy armored train between Yuzhang City and Yanjing City to reach the location closest to the treasure. Then, they got off the train halfway and began to advance towards their destination.
At first, these sword bearers were very angry and resentful of Mellauer's sudden addition. But after only 10 days, this anger and resentment turned into joy.
Over the course of these five days, five of the fourteen people had already died at the hands of Yuankou. If not for Mellauer, the Famed Sword Grade swordsman, these Ancient Sword Grade and Treasure Sword Grade swordsman would have already died here.
Only now did the sword-bearers realize what a foolish decision they had made. They actually thought that such a weak team could get close to the core of Yuankou's territory.
However, Mellauer was only a famous sword bearer. In yesterday's battle, the team had encountered two dragon level Yuan Kou. Mellauer had used all his strength to kill the two dragon level Yuan Kou. However, he had been seriously injured and had fallen into a coma.
Considering that the team desperately needed Mellauer's strength, the team decided to carry Mellauer's medical pod and advance together.
This was the situation before this team met Guhan.
What was even more tragic was that these two Yuan Kou's were actually Yuan Kou's of the science and technology department. These two Yuan Kou's had used an unknown technology to destroy the system of all personal terminals, causing all personal terminals to fail. Even the function of navigation had been lost, causing the entire team to get lost in this forest.
However, this also gave Guhan a reason to exist in this team. After learning that Guhan's personal terminal was not damaged and still had the function of navigation, Shang Ye and the others finally revealed a trace of a smile. They then handed the map of the buried treasure to Guhan and let Guhan guide them.
This was something that Guhan had never thought of. Guhan didn't think that his existence would actually have a meaning because of a small function of navigation … Thinking about it, it was really ridiculous.
From beginning to end, Shang Ye and the others hadn't said anything about giving Guhan a share of the treasure. He was just a crippled ordinary person, and saving his life was already extremely benevolent. How dare they hope to share their treasures?
Of course, Guhan also had no interest in the treasures left behind by Liu Yunyue's ancestor. Any treasure that Guhan casually took out from his dimensional pocket would probably be more valuable than the treasures in the treasure … Compared to those treasures, Guhan was more interested in the team's food and medicine.
The food was still alright. Guhan could get some food from Liu Yunyue, but the medicine was really gone. Most of the medicine in this team had been used up, and the remaining medicine was treated as a treasure by Shang Ye. Using it required his approval. A cripple like Guhan naturally didn't have the qualifications to obtain precious medicine.
Time passed like this for another two days. In these two days, under Guhan's guidance, the team was getting closer and closer to the treasure on the map. However, at the same time, danger was gradually approaching the team.
