Happy tried to get rid of Golden Bell Cocoon so that he can just use his physical body to withstand the pressure from the wild silk binding him.
However, while the pain decreased, it made him descend into a greater state of discomfort.
Tendon Changing Classic also stopped working. That fragrance that made his mind dizzy crept into his lungs again, and his mind became dazed once more.
He activated Golden Bell Cocoon again.
Tendon Changing Classic was activated on its own again. His meridian system became wider, and his qi began circulating madly in his body. The pain was reduced, and his mind also became clearer.
'I knew it, I have to use Golden Bell Cocoon before I can activate Tendon Changing Classic again.'
Happy became utterly convinced that the abnormality in Tendon Changing Classic was related to Golden Bell Cocoon. At the same time, it was also related to the damage dealt on him by the wild silk binding him.
'Very well, since I can't free myself right now, I won't leave. After all, the poison in my body has already been ejected from my body by Tendon Changing Classic. I might as well use the chance to train Tendon Changing Classic, and I can push it to the third realm.' Happy quickly came to a decision, and he also swiftly remembered his current attributes.
[Happy:
[AFF: 268
[AST: 263
[BMM: 258
[CPH: 277
[Qi: 626]
He shut his eyes, and Happy ignored everything else while he sensed the amazing improvements Tendon Changing Classic brought to his body while it worked together with Golden Bell Cocoon to fight against the force from the wild silk on his body.
His body became incredibly sturdy with Golden Bell Cocoon covering his skin, but the more this was the case, the more the wild silk will leave behind deep marks on Happy's body because of gravitational pull. His body had to endure damage continuously.
But since Happy remained still, the damage on him started slowing down once it reached a certain degree.
However, everytime Tendon Changing Classic was activated to widen his meridian system and agitate his blood as well as his flesh, causing him to be able to recover quickly from the damage on his body. It was as if a deep trench that was dug into him was filled up.
But very soon, the wild silk dug deep into his body once more.
Those trenches were filled again.
This process repeated itself, and level for Tendon Changing Classic started increasing again when it was at Level 12.01.
His Affinity would also increase from time to time as time passed.
Meanwhile, his qi began increasing at an inconspicuous speed.
As this went on, Happy could practically perform one full circulation in half an hour.
His body remained unable to move while he was bound and hung in the air by wild silk.
But the poisonous air in the house could absolutely not invade his body anymore. While Happy breathed, he slowly stirred up the air around him.
The sounds of him breathing gradually became clear in the house. It sounded like a huge beast was breathing loudly but rhythmically in the house.
Happy was already completely immersed in this process!
*****
The members from Hunter Clan waited for more than half an hour outside the house, and by then, they completely lost their patience.
"Why is there still no movement inside after so long?"
"Could he already be…?"
"He might be thinking about a way to break the traps inside. We've never experienced what happens in the houses before, and no one knows what goes on in there."
"Do we continue waiting?" Someone became impatient.
Even though they were curious about Happy, who happened to be a famous elite from a long time ago, it was very boring for them to continue waiting so dryly.
"It's a pity that the house is filled with traps, and the building is also made of metal, so it's not easy to break in. We won't be able to get in after him, or else, we can go in and take a look, but since that's not possible, it would be good if we can hear what's going on inside as well, but darn it, why is the sound proof system so good?"
There were also some who felt incredibly excited.
Someone suddenly said, "Actually, it'll be very easy to know whether he's safe or not. We can just ask someone to help figure out his location."
"The fees to investigate a person is going higher and higher by the minute. Are you going to pay for it?"
"Let's all fork out money for it. We can collect money from those who are curious." The Gu poison user suggested with sparkling eyes.
The group looked at each other and nodded.
The fees to figure out a person's location now was very high, and they will need to pay up more than ten thousand taels of silver. However, there were more than ten people in their party. If each person only needed to pay one thousand taels of silver, they will not feel the burden of having to fork out a large sum of money.
Once the party discussed with each other, they made a decision.
At that moment, there were plenty of people who conducted a business where they were specifically in charge of receiving and spreading information. In fact, they had even formed a specialized organization for it.
Once the party leader of Hunter Clan posted this task, he soon received a reply.
[Haha, looks like you're in luck today. There's someone who has been continuously buying Happy's location. Based on our rules, we will only receive half the fees from you. The person you're currently looking for is in Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts, and his coordinates are...]
When they saw the information in the letter from the messenger pigeon, the group of people finally calmed down.
The coordinates indicated that the spot was very close to them, which meant that Happy was still in the house and was not in danger.
"Wait, didn't they say in the letter that someone has been continuously searching for Happy's location?" The Gu poison user suddenly noticed another piece of information on the letter.
Right when she finished speaking, footsteps and the sounds of robes fluttering suddenly rose from the courtyard outside!
Chapter 934 - Blood Alliance’s Members
At the moment the people from Hunter Clan turned their heads around in high alert while they were at the second courtyard in Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts, they quickly noticed that there were more than twenty players who came in from outside, and the party leader as well as a few other members had sweat break out on their skin when they saw this.
It had to be known that if there were fifty people in a courtyard, a destructive trap will immediately be triggered. Fortunately, they were just a few people short of that number.
Once they released a sigh of relief, that group of people noticed that the evil-looking and strange appearance and presence from this aggressive group of martial artists. Their hearts immediately leapt to their throats.
The Gu poison user took a step back quietly and lowered her voice. "This is bad. They're from Blood Alliance."
"I saw it." There were small beads of sweat on the party leader's forehead. Once he swept his gaze over the c.h.e.s.ts of the martial artists who came over tentatively, he immediately understood what was going on.
Just now, the letter from Head Hunter already told him that there was someone who had been continuously searching for Happy's location. That someone must be among the group of people in front of them.
Blood Alliance…
Even though they did not quite understand what happened between Happy and Blood Robes, they did not expect that in just the second day, that group will take the initiative to come to Happy so resolutely.
"Don't panic. We'll act according to the situation," he whispered his order, and the group of people moved closer to each other.
The fame for Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts was quite great, and there were plenty of traps in the area. The new group of people had clearly brought el
ites who were familiar with traps. They moved like flowing water, and soon, they arrived in front of the Hunter Clan while they remained outside the house.
This group of people were all elites from White Tiger Hall in Blood Alliance. They held weapons in their hands, and very soon, they surrounded Hunter Clan and scrutinized the people in front of them with hostile gazes.
"Greetings, elites from Blood Alliance. I am Mu Qi, clan leader of Hunter Clan. These are my brothers and sisters."
A pair of twins impatiently cut off Mu Qi's speech.
"Enough with the nonsense!"
"Tell me who Happy is!"
Mu Qi's expression instantly turned dark.
The expressions of the people behind him also turned dark.
"Pretty gutsy, aren't you?" A similar cold, dark, and ruthless glare shone in the twins' eyes.
A piercing scratch was heard, and each held a savage-looking sawtooth saber in their hands.
The people behind them also drew their weapons, and within a moment, they were ready to attack.
While the people from Hunter Clan were nervous, anger was their dominant emotion.
At that moment, the teamwork that was built over a long period of time showed up among them.
The two tanks stood in front of the others. The trap masters behind them spread out like a fan, and they put on strange stances.
"Stop!"
When the trap master from Blood Alliance saw those stances, he was the first person to call for his group to stop. His expression was solemn, and it was only then that he noticed that he overlooked the fourteen trap masters behind the two tanks.
This was clearly a group that often trained in Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts!
Perhaps trap masters will die very soon if they fought head on against others using martial arts, but trap masters themselves were death traps.
One death trap might not be terrifying, but a mobile death trap was incredibly frightening.
There were a total fourteen trap masters in Hunter Clan, and in an environment that was filled with traps and danger, no matter how good an elite was, it was very difficult for him or her to get out of the situation unscathed when they faced a group of trap masters.
This was also why Hunter Clan dared station themselves in a high-level training ground even though they were nameless.
The Blood Alliance trap master could understand the formation they put up at just one glance.
The trap master got closer to the twins and whispered into their ears, and the twins instantly snorted coldly.
They resolutely swept their gazes over the group of people.
Just as the trap master said, the group consisted of two tanks, a party leader, and a Gu poison user, while the rest were all trap masters. They did indeed have Hunter Clan's emblem, and there was no one else among them.
"Since that's what you said, then we'll let it slide."
Just now, when they saw so many trap masters put on the stance where they will throw their hidden weapons at the same time, even though Blood Alliance had an advantage in numbers, they still cannot help but feel chills down their spines.
In the past, they saw all sorts of sinister hidden weapons and traps on trap masters.
There were Pear Blossom Storm Needles and Divine Lady's Bone Corroding Power.
But these were nothing.
Thunderous Lightning Fire Bullet and Three Leisure Barks of Laughter were items that could bring about a great threat in a circular area of 164 feet.
In truth, they were truly worried that these trap masters had those items that were just described hidden on them, especially the Gu poison user beside the party leader.
*****
"These poor bastards…"
"You're still not leaving yet?"
The twins did not regard the people from Hunter Clan as anyone important, and they turned their heads around to give their orders. "Brothers, sisters, hurry up and locate Happy. Don't let that brat run away."
"This time, we had to fork out a lot of silver to get rid of our alliance master's former enemy. If we let him escape, all the money we spent will be for naught."
*****
While the people from Hunter Clan were incredibly angry and indignant, they did not want to form too great of an enmity with the people from Blood Alliance. When they saw the group deciding to not attack them, they went to the first courtyard.
"They should know that Happy has already gone into the house after they saw the traps outside the house. What should we do?" the Gu poison user asked worriedly.
Mu Qi's expression was already dark enough after he moved past the stream. When he heard it, he turned his head around and cast the second courtyard a glance. Just as he expected, the people from Blood Alliance quickly surrounded the house.
"It's a pity that you're not allowed to be distracted inside, or else, I'll send a letter to Happy right now and let that group of bastards get a lesson."
"Will Happy be alright?" The group of people stopped moving.
Mu Qi shook his head with a complicated expression. "I can't say. While Happy is strong and has no problem in fighting against two lions, Blood Alliance came prepared this time, and they aren't noobs. The two people leading the group are the Sawtooth Brothers, who are a little famous in the north."
"Then Happy is in danger."
"Damn it, I didn't expect that the people from Blood Alliance will be so detestable."
"That's right. I heard that Happy only woke up after laying in the hospital for one and a half years, and they're already so eager to cause trouble. Blood Robes sure has a very tolerance level for his enemies."
"It might not necessarily have been Blood Robes' arrangement. But while we can't stand with Happy against Blood Robes, we can use the chance to record everything and upload it on the official website."
The Gu poison user blinked in a cunning fashion.
When Mu Qi heard this, his eyes lit up. "This is a good method! The people from Blood Alliance are already hated bny a lot of people in the righteous path. If we push Blood Alliance to the heart of the storm, let's see how they'll settle this matter.
"After all, there will definitely be people who will help out when they see such an unjust act."
"Ha! Let's do that!"
The people from Hunter Clan discussed while they quickly left.
*****
"That brat sure is very cooperative in our efforts to kill him. He actually went into a house in the mountain villa? He'll definitely be in a bad condition when he comes out. Everyone, spread out and surround the place."
"Heh, we'll be depending on this to get the alliance master's favor and be promoted to the headquarters!"
The group of people swiftly spread out and surrounded the doors and windows.
All the people in the group were tense, and they stared at the building that was thirty-two feet away from them without moving an inch.
They waited, and they waited for one and a half hours!
"Damn it, one and a half hours has passed since the moment we received the coordinates to this moment! This brat hasn't moved even once! Did we receive fake information?!"
"Nonsense! If the people from Head Hunters dare lie to Blood Alliance, they'll be in great trouble next time! Don't worry, they won't be breaking rules for such a small matter and destroy their own trustworthiness."
The twins spoke, "Perhaps the brat managed to get something good from inside! He sure is lucky!"
"Heh. So what if he has good luck? It's useless! When he comes out, he still has to die!"
Once Sawtooth Brothers placated their group, they continued waiting patiently.
Another half an hour passed. Then, another hour was gone.
The sky was about to become dark, but there was still no sign of movement inside.
"Damn it!"
"Send a messenger pigeon! Have our brothers go to a diviner and find out what's going on! I won't believe that something so strange has happened! It's not as if he has a woman hid
den inside! There's no need for him to stay for a few hours inside, is there?!"
Flap flap flap…
A messenger pigeon was sent flying away.
A few minutes later, a gloomy atmosphere descended among the group of people.
Their morale received a destructive blow, because based on their alliance members' information, Head Hunters did not provide false information. Happy was still in his original spot and never moved.
"Damn it, if I continue staying in this place, I'm going to get haemorrhoids…"
"Just endure it. We've been waiting for so long, and that brat will still need to eat eventually. I refuse to believe that a sick person like him can stay inside for a full day."
Sawtooth Brothers sharpened their sabers on a stone by the side.
Thud!
"Don't!"
But the trap master was not in time to give his warning. He could only watch helplessly as a black light suddenly shot out of the stone and went straight into the t.h.i.g.h of one of the twins.
One sharp cry rose.
The person who was hit s.u.c.k.e.d in a sharp breath. He stared at the black dot on the wound while sweat poured down his body. "Damn it! It's poisoned! Bring me the antidote! Get me a Gold Absorption Stone!"
The trap master frowned. "There are countless traps in Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts. Even if you have nothing to do, don't move around."
"We've been waiting for two full hours, and I've long since forgotten about it… That bugger, when he comes out, I'll definitely let him experience a fate worse than death!
"Ack! The black dot has already extended to my hip joint! Antidote! Hurry up! Put it on me!"
The group of people stared at the Sawtooth Brother who was covered in sweat. They were completely speechless.
They became even more nervous about their surroundings.
"By the looks of it, the traps have respawned.
"If you have nothing to do, stay absolutely still.
"Don't touch anything if you don't want to die."
The trap master released various warnings continuously.
*****
A few hours passed.
