Chapter 1404
Chapter 1404
Deep underground, everyone was looking at Gu Chen.
After experiencing what had happened recently, everyone was subconsciously convinced by Gu Chen. They believed that he would be able to lead them out of this dangerous situation.
"This time, we have obtained a large number of treasures in the Primal Chaos Mystic Land. Once we are out of danger, we will distribute the treasures according to your contributions."
Gu Chen did not mention escaping immediately. Instead, he took the initiative to mention something sensitive that involved everyone's interests.
Every single one of them had played a big or small part in helping them leave the Mysterious Land of Primal Chaos safely.
Since everyone had cooperated, they had to be fair. If they wanted to escape, they would need to trust and help each other. Hence, Gu Chen mentioned this first to reassure everyone.
There was no gratuitous contribution or hatred. Gu Chen knew that if he wanted a horse to run fast, he had to feed it enough grass.
The three Primal Chaos Origin Stones and the Tri-Colored Bingdi Lotus belonged to him. The head beast had been swallowed by the butterflies, which had indirectly saved everyone. Hence, the treasures that needed to be distributed were only the Chaotic Golden Lightning Bamboo and a bunch of other treasures.
The Chaotic Golden Lightning Bamboo had already been taken away by the Dominating Cauldron of Origin. Gu Chen felt that he had contributed the most, so it was only natural that he would take it.
Although the quality of the other treasures was not as good as the head beast, they were still extremely rare in the outside world. Most importantly, there was an astonishing number of them.
He would distribute the treasures according to everyone's contributions. In short, he would not treat himself or others unfairly.
The reason why he would distribute the treasures after they were out of danger was to ensure that everyone on this ship could work together.
He had long passed the age of trusting others. Gu Chen was more willing to maintain a cooperative relationship with benefits and a common goal.
When everyone heard that Gu Chen would take the initiative to distribute the treasures according to their contributions, apart from Chu Meixin who was relatively calm, everyone else revealed looks of joy.
How could they not remember this? However, they had all been seriously injured and had fainted at the last moment. It was Gu Chen who had saved them. Their contributions were actually very small, so they were too embarrassed to mention it.
The fact that Gu Chen took the initiative to bring it up could be said to be an affirmation to them. It also showed that he was a generous person, and they would not suffer a loss if they cooperated with him.
Immediately, the estrangement between them disappeared. Qi Clan's Xuan Zu was even more excited and had an impulse to pledge his loyalty to Gu Chen for the rest of his life.
Even though he'd obeyed the Life and Death Restriction in the beginning, everything he'd seen and heard in this trip to the secret area had allowed him to realize the importance of following an expert.
In any case, it was impossible for him to return to the Qi Family now. Following this master might be the best choice!
"Let's talk about dividing the spoils later. Fatty, can the old turtle's evacuation route help us?"
Gu Chen brushed it off and returned to the most pressing issue.
"According to my interrogation of the Old Black Tortoise, you've guessed correctly. His relationship with the power called the Chi County isn't simple at all, and he seems to be a figure of great authority in this power."
Fatty Qian's expression brightened up. Before escaping from the secret area, he had been in a coma and had always felt ashamed. Now, he finally had something to show his value.
"According to the old turtle, after he escaped from the secret area, a large number of experts from the Chi County would come to support him. However, things have changed, and we don't know where these experts are now."
"The old turtle does have a way to contact these people, but in my opinion, if the Thunder County completely seals off the Longevity World, relying on them will not be of much use. Moreover, the old turtle did not appear, and I'm afraid they've already become suspicious. "
Fatty Qian explained his analysis. In his opinion, the power of the Chi County was not reliable. Perhaps they had some experts, but how could they be compared to the strict military discipline of the Thunder County?
Gu Chen had learned about the Chi County from the leader of the Sound Beasts. He knew that most of the people recruited by this power were rogue cultivators. They didn't cooperate much with each other, and their mobility was indeed insufficient.
If it was when they escaped from the secret area, they could still play the role of support. However, now that the army of the Thunder County must have made a big move, they would not be of much use. At most, they could help to divert attention.
"It seems that we still have to rely on ourselves. Right now, the blockade of the Thunder County is very tight, and we don't even know if we can pass through the Chaos Transit Window. Let's gather information first."
Gu Chen deliberated and said. It was time for everyone to go out and understand the situation.
The four of them did not object. It was meaningless to continue staying on this death planet. If they were coincidentally discovered by the patrolling army of the Thunder County, it would be even more difficult to explain.
After a quarter of an hour, the five of them disguised themselves and left the place together.
Two days later.
The Longevity World was only a few star roads away from the Chaos Transit Window. Gu Chen and the other four hid beside a meteorite and looked at the patrolling army of the Thunder County in the distance.
"The reaction of the Thunder County is faster than we thought. The entire Longevity World is now filled with the soldiers of the Thunder County!" Granny Shu said solemnly.
"There are two Chaos Transit Windows that leave the Longevity World. Now, both sides are blocked by the army. I heard that there are several Law Kings personally guarding it. It is too difficult to escape." Ancestor Xuan of the Qi Clan sighed.
In the past two days, they had secretly investigated everywhere and found that the situation was not optimistic.
The Thunder County showed their determination to not give up until they found the survivors of the secret area. They had stationed troops in all the major star regions and important star roads in the Longevity World to investigate suspicious cultivators.
The scale of the deployment was extremely large. In order not to let any suspicious person go, they even implemented a system of punishment. They asked all the forces in the Longevity World to check their own territories. If there was any suspicious situation and they did not inform them, they would have to pay the price!
Under such circumstances, the Longevity World had become a huge urn. They could not escape even if they wanted to. If they continued to run around blindly, they would be discovered sooner or later.
"What should we do now?"
Everyone was worried. Gu Chen was also in deep thought.
He was thinking about whether he could kill his way out of the Chaos Transit Window. However, he quickly rejected this idea.
According to the rumors in the past few days, there were two Thunder Law Kings and countless soldiers of the Thunder County guarding the Chaos Transit Window.
The two Thunder Law Kings were already troublesome enough. The army was even more difficult to deal with.
The price of killing his way out was too high and the risk was too great.
"If the butterflies can evolve successfully, my strength will also increase. This way, I will have more confidence."
Gu Chen's eyes flickered. He had the idea of finding a safe place to temporarily cultivate in seclusion.
He told everyone about this idea.
"The current situation is that we can't escape from the Longevity World no matter what. We can't even contact the outside world. Finding a place to hide and avoid the limelight is indeed a feasible choice."
Chu Meixin was the first to agree. She was the same as Gu Chen. Both of them had huge gains and wanted to absorb them as soon as possible.
"This is also a way. However, the Thunder County is now so strict. Where can we hide?"
