Chapter 950 A Beggar?
The journey to Ries City would take two days, and travelers had to pass through two dangerous mountains.
That night, they had no choice but to flee the City of Phoenix.
However, they stopped their car by the roadside the next night.
They arrived at the first mountain. As it was slightly more dangerous, they didn’t dare risk traveling at night.
When the sky began to turn dark, Gerald and the others started a fire while Triston hunted two wild animals nearby. They placed the game on a rack to roast.
They were skilled in this aspect. They even prepared some seasonings as they knew they would spend the
night outside.
It didn’t take long for the fragrance of roasted meat to waft through the air.
The group of eight sat around the fire and chatted.
Gerald scribbled away on a notebook under the flickering light of the fire.
was organizing the events from the past six months, sorting out their understanding of this planet, including the general situation of the Four Ancient Families.
He felt that his understanding of the planet was superficial. While he had interacted with the Four Ancient Families, Havotune was far too vast, much larger in scale than what the City of Phoenix could document.
Although he had been to the satellite before, he did not leave the spacecraft and thus had little knowledge
about it
He also recorded everything they had collected from the Nether Palace thus far.
Gerald was focused on his writing.
“What do you guys think Sauven is doing now? The plague I left them with would’ve thrown them into despair!” Triston said cheekily.
Hector shook his head, “You’re overthinking it. The medical standard in this world is quite advanced. It won’t take them long to develop a medicine. Don’t underestimate their level of technology.”
“I didn’t underestimate them,” Claude defended. “By the way, when we get to Ries City, I’ll have to switch to a sniper rifle and make new bullets based on the caliber. The sniper rifles in this world are much more advanced than mine. If I switch to another one, my assassination ability will increase. Maybe I’ll be able to snipe the supreme Flame Decayer the next time I come back,” he continued.
Triston’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Forget about the supreme Flame Decayer. It’s a pity your sniping skills are wasted on you. If I could snipe like you, I’d be invincible,” he responded.
Claude glanced at Triston and sniggered as he retorted, “It’s a pity that you’re single and being used as a backup by a woman.”
“Fuck off! Stop talking about this,” Triston cursed.
Gerald smiled as he watched them banter away.
Valery sat beside him and asked, “Have you thought about what you’d do the next time you come here? Do you think the Pierce family will help?”
Gerald shook his head. “I’m not sure! Benson may be angry, but I’m unsure of the Pierce family’s intentions. They’re very powerful. As you heard from Anabel, the Pierce family was originally from the Archaic Tribe but was separated from the tribe for some reason. There should be some hidden story behind this,” he said.
“They’re unafraid of the ordinary forces on satellites, whereas we still don’t know much about this planet and galaxy. There’s no certainty they’ll help us, but it wouldn’t hurt to try!” He continued.
Valery nodded and said, “Moreover, I feel that what we’d do in the end will go against the forces of this world. We may end up becoming enemies of the Pierce family!”
Indeed, what Jacob wanted to do was contrary to what these major family clans wanted.
It disrupted the interests of these families.
Once the City of Phoenix had succeeded, this planet might be thrown into chaos and undergo a reshuffle.
“Anyway, let’s just give it a shot and try to make the Pierce family take action. Of course, we’ll have our trump card. The Four Ancient Families will be destroyed, but the City of Phoenix will still exist, and the benefits will be redistributed and divided. These are the bargaining chips we’ll use for negotiation!” Gerald said.
“Woof! Woof!”
They were cut off by the sound of barking coming from the forest.
A wary look crossed Gerald’s and the others’ faces. They whipped their heads around to look towards the
forest and saw a bony yellow dog run out.
“There’s a wild dog here?” Triston wondered aloud. He looked at the yellow dog strangely and exclaimed, “Holy shit, this is horrible! This is the thinnest dog I’ve ever seen. It’s practically skin and bones!”
The others made a sound in agreement.
