1637: Chapter 1445: The Dancing Clown (Two in One)_2 1637: Chapter 1445: The Dancing Clown (Two in One)_2 “No way, I won’t accept it!”
Hu Le’s teeth clenched so hard they made a cracking sound.
At this point, how could he possibly give up so easily?
Right in front of him was a massive treasure, its value beyond estimation.
He silently swore to himself that he absolutely wouldn’t leave empty-handed!
“Big Bro, stop being so stubborn!
You can’t fight against the army.
If you really piss them off, you don’t need to spell out what kind of ending awaits us!”
The others kept trying to persuade him, from the bottom of their hearts unwilling to provoke the soldiers.
These were ruthless warriors who wouldn’t hesitate to crush you completely!
None of them noticed Hu Le’s face getting darker and darker, his fists already clenched tightly.
“Anyone who doesn’t want to stay here, get out of here right now!
Stop bothering !”
Hu Le was trembling with rage.
A man strong enough to be called Boss had his words treated like they ant nothing.
This was downright challenging his authority!
“Big Bro, take care of yourself.
I’ll wait for you in the city.”
“My wife is having a difficult childbirth; I need to rush to the hospital, Boss, don’t misunderstand.”
“My mom just had a second child; I’m going to see my little brother, gotta go.”
“Boss, your wife said she had a sudden ergency with while you’re away.
Just stay offline a bit longer to avoid confusion.”
Nearly everyone chose to give up without hesitation, pulling out their return scrolls and vanishing into white light.
Even a few hesitant teammates, upon seeing this, gave up and went back to the city.
“Get lost, all of you!”
Hu Le felt the bitterness of being abandoned, gritting his teeth and yelling in anger, “You won’t get a single penny out of —just wait and regret it later!”
“Who won’t get the money?”
All of a sudden, a raspy voice ca from behind Hu Le, startling him.
The voice was so hoarse that Hu Le could identify its owner without even turning around.
Irritated, he twisted his neck to glare at the black-robed, masked player.
“Overturning Water, you sure know how to make an appearance!
Not early, not late, but right after all my n just left.
You did it on purpose, didn’t you?”
“Oh, is that right?
I didn’t even get a chance to greet them; why did they leave so soon?”
Su Ran genuinely wasn’t aware of what had just happened.
He’d received a ssage from Drizzle Freely, alerting him about issues in the mountain’s depths.
But at the ti, he was tied up dealing with his avatar’s evolution process and couldn’t leave.
Only once the evolution was complete did he rush over, unfortunately finding only one person remaining—ranting furiously with curses that were downright unpleasant to hear.
As for what his avatar had evolved into, Su Ran hadn’t even had the chance to check yet.
Currently curled up like a ball of bones, he’d instinctively stored it away in his Illusion Demon cloak before imdiately teleporting to the mountain’s base.
Still, he had arrived slightly too late.
Facing off against one lone person?
How could that be fun without an audience?
Wouldn’t that be dull!
Su Ran glanced at the nearby players mining ores.
He didn’t bother expecting any help from them—they were all silent workhorses focused solely on the minerals, uninterested even in beautiful won, let alone fights.
“Overturning Water, do you still rember who I am?”
Hu Le didn’t feel like wasting words with Su Ran.
With an indignant expression, he crossed his arms and waited for a reply.
“Huh?
Why do you look so familiar?”
Su Ran didn’t take supporting roles he’d only encountered once seriously at all.
While this person did seem sowhat familiar, he couldn’t recall where they’d t—admittedly awkward.
“Overturning Water, you really have a terrible mory.
Let give you a hint: several hours ago, in the Imperial City’s safe zone.”
“Oh right, now I rember!
No wonder you seed familiar!
You’ve been trailing all the way from Imperial City to here—aren’t you tired?”
Only then did Su Ran realize who Hu Le was.
He couldn’t help but feel a bit speechless at his stubbornness.
This guy really couldn’t let things go.
“I said it before—this grudge, I’ll make sure to settle it!”
Hu Le vented all his pent-up frustration at Su Ran, yelling the words in nearly a scream to convey his extre anger.
“No need to shout; I can hear you just fine at this distance.”
Su Ran casually shook his head, more interested in checking out the stats of his evolved avatar.
He had no intention of wasting ti with this guy.
Seeing Hu Le was already sufficiently provoked, he offhandedly replied, “I’m standing right here.
If you want revenge, hurry up—offer expires soon!”
“Ha ha, so you really think you’re untouchable, that I can’t do anything to you?
Did you even stop to think about how I managed to get inside here?”
Hu Le let out a few cold laughs and summoned his pet pangolin.
With a smug look, he asked, “Recognize what this is?”
“Sorry, my eyes must be deceiving —I can’t tell what that thing is.”
The pangolin’s appearance had drastically changed after donning its Earth-Burrow Armor, which explained why Su Ran failed to identify it.
“You…”
Hu Le nearly choked on his own words.
All the lines he had prepared were rendered completely useless, leaving him no choice but to patiently explain, “It’s a pangolin.
This mountain was dug through by it!
So, what do you think—scared yet?”
“Scared of what?
Just a pangolin; what’s there to fear?
Oh wait, wild ga can carry diseases, so that’s pretty terrifying.
Say no to wild ga, starting with !”
Su Ran responded earnestly, clearly unconcerned about the pet’s supposed threat.
“Damn it!
Stop trying to change the subject!”
Hu Le was so mad he nearly couldn’t breathe.
If this conversation carried on any longer, he was going to lose ten years off his lifespan…
Realizing this, Hu Le decided to cut to the chase and angrily declared, “Since I can tunnel through, I can also cave this mountain in!
If you don’t give reasonable compensation today, don’t bla when your territory becos a pile of rubble!”
“Wow, so scary.
Your pet is really sothing else!
Anyways, carry on digging; don’t worry about giving any courtesy.
Oh, by the way, I’ve got stuff to do.
Catch you later.”
Su Ran showed zero interest in Hu Le’s threat.
Ignoring whether the pangolin could even collapse the mountain, he simply didn’t believe it could destroy Demonic Treasure Mountain!
After all, this mountain had stood for countless millennia and possessed teleportation abilities.
Its reputation was renowned even in the Demon World.
A re pangolin?
Not even worth considering!
“What the hell?
Your nerves are made of steel or sothing?”
Hu Le was utterly shocked by Su Ran’s reaction.
His territory seed to an nothing to him, like so illegally built shack that could be knocked down at any mont—this guy really wasn’t playing by the rules!
“Can’t help it—born carefree.
My territory’s up on the mountain top; go ss with it all you want.
Let know when it collapses, I’ll give you a certificate of achievent!”
Su Ran waved him off casually.
“Anything else?
If not, I’ve got places to be.
Don’t interrupt your pet’s work.”
Su Ran’s carefree attitude wasn’t an act; it was just how he was.
Whether Hu Le believed it was up to him.
“You…
stay where you are!”
Hu Le took a few deep breaths, feeling his nerves practically pulsating.
With a tone drenched in animosity, he spat, “If you won’t take this seriously, you’ll regret it soday!
I’ll completely stop leveling, if that’s what it takes to destroy your territory!”
“Do whatever makes you happy.
Bro, quit stalling, alright?
I’ve got stuff to do.
You’re going to be hanging around this mountain for days anyway—we’ll have plenty of chances to et up.
Let’s catch up another ti.”
“Why rush?
Setting that aside for now, how do you explain this mining vein?”
Hu Le finally realized he couldn’t threaten Su Ran’s territory.
Shifting tactics, he redirected the conversation to the veins of ore—a literal treasure trove he couldn’t ignore!
“What’s there to explain?
What, jealous?”
“Overturning Water, are you really dense or just pretending?
You know better than I do how valuable this vein is.
If word gets out, let’s see if you can handle the onslaught of millions of players!”
Hu Le let out a cold laugh, sensing his opportunity.
He followed up, “Give so hush money as compensation, and I’ll help you keep this vein a secret—heck, I’ll even swear an oath!”
He’d already laid his plan.
Once he managed to scam so money, he’d still go ahead and collapse the mountain—he had to make Su Ran taste regret!
“Hush money?
That’s actually an interesting idea.”
Su Ran paused briefly before breaking into a grin.
Looking at this self-satisfied warrior, he chuckled, “But unfortunately, you’ve co to the wrong person.
This place has long been outsourced—nothing to do with anymore.
Spill all you want; don’t hold back.”
“Outsourced?”
Hu Le was completely dumbfounded.
