Chapter 424: Chapter 424 – If You Help Me, Then You Are My Brother!

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Xiao Hong that was under Wei Xiao Bei was fitted with the unilateral stirrup. Moreover, it was made of leather and cloth.

He had learned how to move the horse from watching television. With a light press on the horse’s abdomen, Xiao Hong began to run.

As Xiao Hong began to run, Wei Xiao Bei’s body inclined backward, feeling as if he was about to fall from the horse’s back. This had caused his hold on its stomach to become tighter.

This could not be helped as it was a human reaction done to balance his body.

Afterward, the matter need not be said anymore.

Under the eyes of everyone, the horse instantly leaped up, causing Wei Xiao Bei to fall from the horse’s back with one foot still in the stirrup. It was easy to imagine how pitiful he looked.

When Zhao Guang finally stalled the horse, Wei Xiao Bei had already been dragged more than thirty meters away on the ground.

Luckily, it was Wei Xiao Bei. If it was a normal person, their bones might have already been broken.

It must be known that the empty land usually had horses running around it, making it uneven. A normal person being dragged for thirty meters would naturally have their bones smashed.

No matter what was said, Wei Xiao Bei’s entrance was a bit humiliating.

Zhao Yun could not just continue to the spar as he let Wei Xiao Bei clean up first.

When Wei Xiao Bei went to take a bath and changed his clothes, he was full of grief. His chance of being able to spar with Zhao Yun had just disappeared like this.

Why does my driving skill not work on riding a horse?

Wei Xiao Bei could not help but be angry at the thought.

However, when Wei Xiao Bei left the tent, he immediately saw Zhao Yun.

“I have come here to talk to you.”

Zhao Yun extended his hand to stop Wei Xiao Bei’s bow and entered the tent.

Talk?

Wei Xiao Bei could not help but be suspicious. He looked at Zhao Guang who was following behind Zhao Yun with an expression of not knowing what was happening. He frowned and entered the tent again.

There were not many things inside the tent as both sides sat on the ground.

After Wei Xiao Bei looked at Zhao Yun, he felt as if he might not be able to hide anymore and asked for his reason for coming.

What stunned him was that Zhao Yun did not say his reason for coming, but told an old story to him first.

What old story?

The old story of the Feng Tou Mountains. Why these monsters were repeatedly attacking the place.

The story was long and interesting.

The main idea was the origin of the name of the mountain. Feng Tou meant phoenix head, and it was said that a phoenix had died on the said location and became a mountain.

Those monsters wanted to obtain some kind of treasure and run away with it.

As for Zhao Yun’s troops, Zhao Yun did not need to say anything as Wei Xiao Bei also understood it. According to his understanding of the Dust World, the entire mountain was the territory of the power of Zhao Yun and his troops. How could they just let monsters freely come and go?

Moreover, these monsters seemed to care a lot about the treasure. Zhao Yun and his troops were naturally also in need of it. It made it so that naturally both sides were enemies, thus they fought each other.

The more Zhao Yun spoke, the more Wei Xiao Bei did not become happy as the worry in his heart grew.

There was no doubt that with Zhao Yun’s power, temper and position coming to see him and explain everything was strange.

What was Wei Xiao Bei?

He was just a normal guest to Zhao Yun.

What did the host explaining everything to him signify?

There was a request for him!

Wei Xiao Bei did not need to activate [Precise Calculation] to come to this conclusion.

Zhao Yun wants my help?

Perhaps for the majority of people, they might feel incredibly honored as if their social position had increased several levels.

However Wei Xiao Bei knew that Zhao Yun might appear to be a 4-Star Elite Creature, but his strength was far above that. It was easy to imagine what kind of terrifying request Zhao Yun had.

Could it be that I have to risk my life?

Wei Xiao Bei felt as if he was sitting in front of a volcano that was on the verge of erupting.

“I have one thing I would like to ask of you.”

After finishing his story, Zhao Yun’s expression became serious and he proved Wei Xiao Bei’s guess.

Wei Xiao Bei had been waiting for these words. Thus, he was stirred up and spoke without even thinking, “My ability has limits.....”

Before Wei Xiao Bei finished, Zhao Yun had already blocked him, “Little Brother Wei doesn’t need to be modest. Since you can come from the human world, this is destiny just like the Bi Fang Blood in your storage bag.”

Fuck!

Zhao Yun knows how to threaten people.

Wei Xiao Bei who was used to Zhao Yun’s warm attitude felt dazzled after being hit by Zhao Yun’s counterattack.

He had truly concealed the Bi Fang blood.

Zhao Yun did not request for the Bi Fang blood before. Wei Xiao Bei also felt that they would not use it and had logically hidden it.

The problem was that, if it was tracked down, it would be impossible for Wei Xiao Bei to escape the criminal charge of desiring army resources.

Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei was not a member of Zhao Yun’s army so Zhao Yun’s military law could not touch him.

However, this meant that the charge against him would be heavier.

Stealing army resources!

In short, it was a dead end.

Wei Xiao Bei did not have the confidence that he could run away from Zhao Yun.

Moreover, he had finally bonded with Zhao Yun with great difficulty. He felt that he hadn’t even gained that many benefits yet, and if he escaped now, it was truly pitiful.

The most important thing was that Wei Xiao Bei came here to find the way to level up to a 4-Star Creature.

This was the most important point for him.

Entering a treasure mountain yet returning empty-handed was simply an insult to his intelligence.

While Wei Xiao Bei was hesitating, Zhao Yun appeared to have seen through Wei Xiao Bei’s mind and smiled, “If Little Brother Wei agrees to help me, then I am willing to pass down everything that I have learned! Moreover, you will become my sworn brother! I wonder if Little Brother Wei is willing?”

Fuck!

Hearing these words, Wei Xiao Bei was immediately stunned.

It could be said that Zhao Yun’s promise had hit Wei Xiao Bei’s vital point!

Wei Xiao Bei even wanted to strip Zhao Yun of his skin to take a look and see if this was not Zhu Ge Liang disguised. He was simply too good at analyzing the human heart!

“This, since general had kindly invited me, how could I decline?”

However, in truth, the better Zhao Yun’s terms were, the heavier the burden in Wei Xiao Bei’s heart.

Fuck, what kind of dangerous matter did Zhao Yun need my help with?

Could it be that he wants me to excavate the phoenix’s corpse?

Wasn’t it said that phoenixes are reborn from their ashes? How could there be a corpse?

However, no matter how dangerous digging it up was, Zhao Yun’s request should not be just this, right?

Could it be telling me to kill the child of the Golden Crow? Or perhaps killing the Golden Crow’s father.... A Golden Crow?!

However, the problem was his strength. In that kind of battle, let alone helping, saving his own life was hard enough!

In short, even if Wei Xiao Bei activated [Precise Calculation], he could not think of what Zhao Yun’s request was.

It’s just that Zhao Yun’s promise was just too enticing, causing him to be unable to reject. Even if he knew that it was a pitfall, he would still brace himself and jump in.

Following Wei Xiao Bei agreeing, Zhao Yun immediately smiled, causing the solemn atmosphere inside the tent to appear drenched in sunlight and warmth.

“Since its like that, then in half an hour, us two brothers will share an oath of blood in front of thousands of soldiers and become sworn brothers!”

After saying this, Zhao Yun said goodbye and went to prepare for the ceremony. On another hand, Zhao Guang followed Zhao Yun’s instructions and remained by Wei Xiao Bei’s side.

After seeing Zhao Yun leave, Wei Xiao Bei took a while to come to.

He did not know the flavor he was tasting in his heart. He struggled to suppress his excitement at the thought that he was about to become Zhao Yun’s sworn brother.

There was also a faint terror as Zhao Yun just left without saying his request.

In short, Wei Xiao Bei was overwhelmed and unable to quiet down.

Wei Xiao Bei looked at Zhao Guang and instructed him, “Can you pinch me?”

Hearing Wei Xiao Bei’s words, Zhao Guang was stunned, then hesitantly said, “Zhao Guang does not dare follow uncle’s words.”

Zhao Guang was an obedient child. Zhao Yun had told him to call Wei Xiao Bei his uncle and he did so.

The thought process of ancient people was different from modern ones.

If it was a modern person, they might have difficulty doing so. After all the difference between their ages was not even ten years.

After Wei Xiao Bei heard Zhao Guang’s words, he immediately reacted. He immediately pinched himself on the thighs to snap out of his daze.

Although Wei Xiao Bei’s skin was very tough, he still felt pain when he pinched himself.

Seeing Wei Xiao Bei’s pained face, Zhao Guang was a bit worried and thought that he was spasming, causing him to go out and try to find the army doctor.

Wei Xiao Bei quickly stopped Zhao Guang. He had already made a humiliating display of himself earlier. If another one happened, then even if Zhao Yun became sworn brothers with him, he would not dare live anymore.

After calming his heart down with great difficulty, Wei Xiao Bei began to act like an uncle and asked some questions to Zhao Guang.

Zhao Guang did not hide anything, allowing Wei Xiao Bei to understand things deeper.

It appeared that the monster attacks had started in the last three months.

It was a group of Fire Crows from an unknown place. They had attacked the soldiers outside the valley. Naturally, the group of Fire Crows was quickly eliminated by the reinforcements that arrived.

The problem was that the valley became chaotic after that.

Every few days, there would be a monster that would attack the valley.

From Zhao Guang’s mouth, Wei Xiao Bei had understood that the monsters that came attacking were fire-based.

From the weakest Fire Rat to the absurdly strong Bi Fang, all had come knocking at their doors.
