Wuhun Luo Sanpao? I am the Dragon Emperor!

Chapter 29 Life at the Forest Border

Yu Luomian and the man were talking in a low voice, obviously discussing something.

He glanced quickly at Yu Xiaolie, then waved to his subordinate Luo Ying. After giving him a few simple instructions, he resumed his discussion with that man.

"Master Yu, please follow me. I will help you get familiar with the team environment."

Luo Ying nodded slightly to Yu Xiaolie respectfully.

"Just call me Xiaolie."

Yu Xiaolie didn't say much and followed Luo Ying.

Along the way, Yu Xiaolie was looking around inconspicuously, not missing any details.

After all, this was his first time to live in a strange place away from the protection of the sect.

With Second Uncle Yu Luomian's protection? Xiao Lie didn't think this was very reliable.

"Who's the boss of this team?"

Yu Xiaolie suddenly spoke in a concise voice.

Luo Ying paused, as if she didn't expect Yu Xiaolie to ask such a direct question.

"Master Yu is not the biggest here."

"This place is divided into several areas, and your second uncle is in charge of one of the branches."

"There's a steward above us. We call him the Snake King. He's a level 62 Soul Emperor. He's the most powerful here."

After he finished speaking in a low voice, he subconsciously looked around.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaolie frowned slightly.

Sure enough, I thought my second uncle was already the leader of a region, but I didn’t expect there was such a powerful figure above him.

He pursed his lips, a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes, but his face remained calm, and he just responded with a light "hmm".

He continued to follow Luo Ying, while secretly paying attention to the attitudes of the people around him towards Luo Ying, trying to understand more about the inside story of this complicated team from these subtle details.

The two walked to the front of the warehouse. Yu Xiaolie looked through the half-open door and was instantly attracted by the mountains of spiritual herbs and corpses of high-quality soul beasts inside.

The warehouse was filled with a strange smell, a mixture of the fragrance of herbs and the unique fishy smell of soul beasts.

Luo Ying introduced with a smile on his face.

"These are what we collect on a daily basis. Sometimes the royal family will suddenly issue an order and urgently need certain spiritual herbs, so we will stock up in advance."

"The soul beast corpses are taken back by the soul masters after they absorb the soul rings, and we eat them."

"Of course, you can also use these spiritual herbs and soul beast meat. No one will pay attention anyway."

Yu Xiaolie raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of barely perceptible surprise flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

If you think about it carefully, this team is stationed at the edge of the forest, which is far away from the emperor. Their daily task is just to provide resources in the forest to meet the needs of the imperial family and nobles. So even if the team embezzled these spiritual herbs and soul beasts, it was just a piece of wool they took.

Yu Xiaolie didn't say much, just nodded slightly.

The two continued walking and passed by a data room.

Looking at the gate, it is not only dilapidated but also covered in dust, and it seems that it has been abandoned for quite a long time.

He walked forward and pushed open the half-open door, revealing rows of shelves filled with scrolls and books.

"This contains all the information about Sunset Forest. Records of all the medicinal herbs and spirit beasts are here. They were left behind by our predecessors when they were stationed here. However, it has been abandoned for quite some time."

Luo Ying raised his hand and pointed at the bookshelf and said.

Yu Xiaolie paused and looked straight into the data room. An uncontrollable heat flashed in his eyes for a moment, but he quickly suppressed it.

He licked his lips subconsciously, and this subtle movement revealed his inner excitement.

He had a hunch that these materials might be the key to his future breakthrough, especially the records about the magical herbs.

For the camp team, no one would have the time to come here to look through the information, but for him, this place will never be covered in dust again.

He nodded slightly, said nothing, and walked into the information room.

Next, Luo Ying introduced the functions and personnel distribution of each place from time to time.

He and Yu Xiaolie were walking when a tall, burly man approached them. The people around him stepped aside to make way, his aura overwhelming. "This is the chief steward, the Snake King."

Seeing this, Luo Ying hurriedly whispered to Yu Xiaolie.

"Greetings, Lord General."

Then he stepped forward and saluted the Snake King.

The Snake King nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Yu Xiaolie, looking him up and down.

Luo Ying quickly introduced him to the Snake King.

"This is Master Yu's nephew, Yu Xiaolie. Master Yu said that he should stay here for a while."

Upon hearing this, the Snake King raised a slightly playful smile and said jokingly:

"Yu Luomian's nephew, are you from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family? Young Master, you are so lucky that you don't want to enjoy it, but come to me and seek death?"

He crossed his arms over his chest, lowered his head slightly, and there was a bit of scrutiny and amusement in his eyes. In his opinion, a young man like Yu Xiaolie probably couldn't bear the hardship here, and came here just on a whim.

When Yu Xiaolie heard this, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

He looked the Snake King in the eyes without fear.

"I came here not to seek death, but to make it happen. Whoever dares to stand in my way must die."

As he said this, a fierceness emanated from his body.

After hearing this, the Snake King was slightly startled. His teasing expression instantly disappeared, replaced by a hint of admiration.

He secretly marveled in his heart that this kid spoke arrogantly and harshly, and had a lot of drive, unlike those pampered young masters of the imperial aristocracy.

"Interesting, crazy enough, I like it!"

He couldn't help but nod in his heart, an appreciative smile appeared on his face, and he raised his hand and pointed at Yu Xiaolie.

The Snake King had a meaningful smile on his face. He walked forward and patted Yu Xiaolie on the shoulder, applying a little force on his hand, as if testing his reaction.

"But I'm telling you, no one here cares about your identity, let alone your age. If you deserve to be bullied, you will be bullied. Some veterans love to bully new recruits."

"Especially a delicate little kid like you, I'm afraid there won't be any bones left here."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, as if observing Yu Xiaolie's expression after hearing this.

In his heart, Yu Xiaolie is a flower in a greenhouse, who does not have the courage and resilience to withstand the harsh environment of the outside world. This advance notice is a warning and a test for the newcomer.

After hearing this, Yu Xiaolie raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint sneer.

"Just to my liking."

What he wants is constant sharpening and actual combat.

"So you, like your second uncle, also have the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex spirit?" the Snake King asked casually.

"No, I have a mutated martial spirit and am now a level 12 spirit master."

Upon hearing this, the Snake King's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes narrowed.

He looked at Yu Xiaolie again to confirm that he was not mistaken. The child in front of him was at least twelve or thirteen years old. As a descendant of the top three families, he had no shortage of resources, but he was only at level 12 now.

Either this kid is lazy, or his martial arts talent is too poor.

No matter which one it is, in his opinion, Yu Xiaolie will not have much success in the future.

I just thought this guy was so capable and arrogant, but it turns out he is just like this.

Yu Xiaolie took in every change in the Snake King's expression, and his eyes instantly turned cold.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a vague, indifferent attitude.

He had seen this kind of expression many times when he was in the sect, so when faced with the Snake King's disdain, his heart was able to calm down quickly.

Humph, that kind of look again. It seems that no matter where I go, I will be looked down upon.

Yu Xiaolie snorted in his heart.
