Chapter 184 The Map
The young man: 8(°4 °||)_... When he heard Su Ping’s words, the young man almost suffered from a heart attack and kicked the bucket.
Admittedly, Su Ping’s remark was very effective. The young man’s wandering and blurred consciousness ca back at once. He rembered that he did have a fiancé, and they had just gotten engaged.
He was dying but he had not been intimate with his fiancé yet.
The sorrow took root in his heart. Trembling, the young said to Su Ping, “Save . I will give you anything you want...”
“Really? Can you make a legendary battle pet warrior?” Su Ping asked.
The young man was speechless. He himself was not a titled battle pet warrior. How could he make soone else a legendary battle pet warrior? If he had this ability, why would he risk his life in this place? This question didn’t make any sense.
However, since the young man was the one asking a favor, he had no choice but to say, “You can ask for anything else.”
“Then give ten billion federal coins.”
“... That’s too much. I can give you 100 million.”
“How about one hundred ninth-rank pets?”
“Then, one hundred pieces of treasure?” “C_,)...”
Su Ping was going to propose sothing else. The young man felt he had lost too much blood; his head was becoming heavier and the headache was sharper. The young man tried hard to keep breathing. He interrupted Su Ping and said, “Fine, ten billion federal coins. I will give them to you.”
“Oh. Make the transfer then.”
“...Can you please save now? I think I am dying here.”
“Be confident. Remove the words ‘I think’. You are dying,” Su Ping said.
“You...”
The young man could no longer breathe. He rolled his eyes and passed away.
Su Ping heaved a sigh. “Anger is detrintal to life.” He reached out and searched the young man’s backpack, taking everything out. Apart from the food, phone and other survival equipnt, there were no other precious items. Su Ping shook his head and searched for other bodies.
Soon, he found another man that was faking his death.
This was a middle-aged man with a strong build. But there was a huge hole on his belly. He was at his last gasp.
“Save... ...” the man said, his voice hoarse and trembling. “Are you all actors?” Su Ping asked. The middle-aged man: “??” This man was still conscious. Su Ping asked, “Did you sneak in here when we lured the Fla Flood Dragon away? That ans that you had arrived here before us. You stayed in hiding and knew about the situation here. Right?”
There was fear in the middle-aged man’s milky eyes. He answered feebly, “We... just happened to be here. We didn’t know that there were...”
“It is said that people say good words on their dying beds. You are barely breathing but you are still lying. You are committed to your role.”
The middle-aged man curled his lips. Maybe his words stung. Or maybe his words stung.
“If I’m right, you have the map. Or, did you give the map to Nie Chengkong?” Su Ping posed his question.
The middle-aged man said nothing. He lowered his head. He knew that the chances of him being saved were slim.
“I checked your other deceased teammates. They weren’t particularly strong but you seem to know more than Nie Chengkong did. You knew about the treasure being kept here and about the guarding beasts.
“But you didn’t expect that another sneaky flood dragon was hiding here apart from that Fla Flood Dragon. Your entire team was defeated before a battle even started.”
Su Ping looked into the man’s eyes and continued, “Did you give the map to Nie Chengkong on purpose so that he would clear the way for you?”
The middle-aged man was trembling. He was barely breathing. “Since... you know, why... do you... have to ask?”
Su Ping grinned. “So, I was right. That is to say, you didn’t explore the other sites at all. You just waited here all this ti so that you could snatch the treasure when both Nie Chengkong and the Fla Flood Dragon were hurt. That is a nice plan.
“But I am curious about this. Where did you get the map? Assuming you used so channels for Nie Chengkong to stumble across the map, where did you get the map then?”
The middle-aged man was breathing heavily. His mind was disturbed. He turned away, refusing to answer the question.
He was dying anyway. He wasn’t in the mood to talk to Su Ping.
“If you answer my question, I can think about saving you.” Su Ping sounded earnest.
The middle-aged man turned his head back. He saw the serious look on Su Ping’s face. His eyes glowed. Suddenly, he began to talk with a solemn tone.
“We found the information and picked up the map from an ancient hall in a space fracture.” The middle-aged man revealed the answer.
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. He observed the middle-aged man. He seed to be telling the truth.
“The space fracture where?”
“At a Class C barren area, No. 291...”
Su Ping knew that was a Class C area outside the Longjiang Base City. “No one else knew, right?” Su Ping went on.
The middle-aged man was very weak at the mont. “Just your team and our team.”
“Good.”
“Can you... save now?”
“I would but your wound is too serious. I cannot help you even if I wanted to,” Su Ping said.
The middle-aged man was fuming at the mouth. He had been fooled. This possibility had crossed his mind but since this was a matter of life and death for him, he still had so hope. It was just that the hope had vanished all too soon.
His face was beet red due to anger. He stared at Su Ping and said, “You lied!” “I said I would save you but I didn’t say I could be successful. I can try my best but you will die,” Su Ping replied.
“You!”
The middle-aged man’s eyes popped out. It was scary. But that was the last word he could say. He died in anger.
Ye Chenshan took Luo Guxue who had co about to see Su Ping.
He witnessed how that middle-aged man died. Surprised, he asked, “Su, that man was alive?”
“Yes. He was still breathing,” Su Ping answered.
“How about now?”
“He’s not.”
Ye Chenshan didn’t know what to say. He had a general idea of what had gone wrong when he saw all those dead bodies. Their team had been fooled.
“Su, shall we go now?” Ye Chenshan asked.
They were the only three alive. Since Su Ping was the most powerful of them all, they had to ask for his opinion on the matter.
“They seed to be from our base city as well. Do you know them?” Su Ping asked.
Ye Chenshan checked. What he saw stunned him. “They were from Team Poison Fang, one of the top-tier teams. I didn’t know they were here!”
Su Ping nodded. “You can step outside for now. I will fill up the ground in case any tracks are left behind, to save us the trouble that soone may co later and think we set up traps for those n here.”
Ye Chenshan agreed. Su Ping was more careful than he thought. He supported Luo Guxue with his arms and said to Su Ping, “We will wait for you outside then. Su, be quick.”
“Mister Su, be careful,” Luo Guxue cautioned Su Ping. She looked ghastly pale.
