Ten Thousand Sword Masters

"Where is your treasure-hunting mouse?"

"If you dare to fool us and can't produce the treasure-hunting rat, I'll make you regret it."

"Quickly, quickly, bring out the treasure-hunting mouse."

A group of people surrounded Qian Liu and began shouting noisily.

Qian Liu took the package off his back and held it up.

"Everyone, let me make this clear first: I have no obligation to help you find Frostflower Fruit."

Qian Liu's words immediately caused an uproar.

"Then what did you mean by loudly proclaiming the existence of a treasure-hunting rat?"

"Are you deliberately messing with us? If you hadn't shouted that, we would have all turned around and left."

"Exactly, exactly, are you trying to manipulate our emotions?"

Seeing the crowd's outrage, Qian Liu calmly held up the package and looked around.

"Everyone, please calm down and listen to what I have to say."

Perhaps intimidated by Qian Liu's calm demeanor, the noisy crowd gradually quieted down, staring intently at him, waiting for him to continue.

"I have no obligation to help everyone find the Frost Blossom Fruit, yet I still tell everyone that I have a Treasure-Hunting Rat. I really have my own selfish motives."

"What are your ulterior motives?"

"I don't care if you have ulterior motives or not. Open the package and let us see if you actually have the Treasure Rat."

"Yes, open the package quickly, don't dawdle!"

"Everyone, please listen to me."

Qian Liu remained calm and composed, controlling the emotions of the group, and tossing the package in his hand repeatedly.

"My selfish motives are very simple. If I find only one Frost Blossom Fruit, I won't take it. But if there are two or more, I'll take one. I won't take any more," Qian Liu said slowly.

"Let's take out the treasure-hunting mouse first and have a look."

"Bring out the Treasure-Hunting Rat before we negotiate."

"If you dawdle any longer, I'll fucking kill you."

Seeing the crowd's emotions reach their peak, Qian Liu sneered, instantly opened the package, and a gray rat suddenly darted out and jumped onto his shoulder.

"A treasure-hunting rat? He really does have a treasure-hunting rat."

"Great! With the Treasure-Hunting Rat, we can finally find the Frost Blossom Fruit."

"This is truly a stroke of luck! The treasure-hunting rat has found the Frostfruit; I must get my hands on it!"

When Qian Liu took out the Treasure-Seeking Rat, the emotions of the group of martial arts figures surrounding him surged and boiled again, reaching a new peak.

"Everyone, I've brought out the Treasure-Hunting Mouse. Do you all agree with what I said earlier?"

Qian Liu calmly addressed the crowd, appearing quite confident.

"We promise you that if we find more than one Frostflower Fruit, one of them will be yours, and we won't take it from you."

"My brother and I, Niu San, agree that you should use the Treasure-Hunting Rat to find the Frost Blossom Fruit. Once you find it, you can have one. Anyone who dares to take it from you is going against Grandpa Niu."

"We, the Hu brothers, also agree."

Seeing that the martial arts practitioners all agreed with his statement, Qian Liu smiled broadly and then shouted, "Then let's head towards the Li Tian Mountains!"

"Forward, forward!"

"Heading towards the Litian Mountains!"

At this moment, Qian Liu seemed to have become the leader of a group of martial arts figures, leading them forward with shouts, and marching into the Li Tian Mountains in a grand manner.

Seeing Qian Liu take out the Treasure-Seeking Rat, Liu Fei cursed him angrily. If it weren't for his appearance, these martial arts figures might have given up and returned the way they came.

"Why is this person so generous in taking out the treasure-hunting rat?" Zhang Jianyun asked suspiciously, watching the departing crowd.

"Who knows? He's probably so desperate for the Frostflower Fruit that he naively thinks these martial arts figures will be grateful and share one with him after he finds it," Liu Fei said.

"The person who brought out the treasure-hunting rat looks vaguely familiar to me," Zhang Jianyun said.

"You definitely recognize him, right? Wasn't that guy just eating at Jiaxing Restaurant?" Liu Fei laughed loudly.

Zhang Jianyun shook his head. "No, this is definitely not the first time I've seen him at Jiaxing Restaurant. This feeling of familiarity is like I've seen him a long time ago."

"Don't overthink it, those martial arts figures have all entered the Litian Mountains." Liu Fei patted Zhang Jianyun on the shoulder, then hurriedly walked forward.

Thinking he was overthinking things, Zhang Jianyun shook his head and followed Liu Fei.

The treasure-hunting rat ran ahead, with Qian Liu close behind. A group of martial arts practitioners ran behind Qian Liu, while Zhang Jianyun and Liu Fei mingled among them.

In this formation, the group entered the Litian Mountains.

Several Heart-Stealing Wolves saw the group of running martial arts figures and immediately ran away.

The weak and strange creatures saw this group of running martial arts practitioners and immediately ran away.

As the treasure-hunting mouse ran, it suddenly jumped onto a large rock and then stopped.

Upon seeing this, Qian Liu immediately pointed to the large rock and said, "There is treasure there."

"Charge!"

"The treasure is mine!"

Upon hearing Qian Liu's words, the group of martial arts practitioners rushed to the large rock and overturned it, revealing a piece of gold.

"Haha, the gold is mine!"

puff!

As soon as a martial arts practitioner grabbed the gold, he was immediately stabbed by a sword and fell to the ground dead.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

In an instant, several martial arts figures began to fight over the piece of gold, which was about the same size as the gold.

After receiving a signal from Qian Liu, the treasure-hunting rat continued running forward.

"Everyone, follow me! The Frostfruit is just ahead!" Qian Liu shouted as he ran behind the treasure-hunting rat.

Immediately, the vast majority of martial arts practitioners continued to run after Qian Liu, leaving only a few people vying for the gold.

Zhang Jianyun and Liu Fei also ran after Qian Liu. Zhang Jianyun looked back at the people fighting for the gold. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw strange things appearing around him. He sighed inwardly. Would these people fighting for the gold be able to leave the Litian Mountains safely in the end?

As it ran, the treasure-hunting mouse stopped beside a big tree.

Before Qian Liu could shout, several martial arts figures rushed towards the tree and uprooted it, revealing a piece of jade the size of a palm.

"My God, it's Heavenly Tree Jade!"

Several martial arts practitioners exclaimed in surprise and rushed over as well.

blah blah blah!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Having learned from their previous experience, this time no one took the initiative to grab Tian Shuyu; instead, they immediately drew their swords and attacked those around them.

shhhhhh!

The treasure-hunting mouse didn't stop and continued running forward.

Most people chose to follow the treasure-hunting rats and run forward with Qian Liu. They were not blinded by the treasure in front of them, but knew that they had come here to obtain the Frost Blossom Fruit.

Looking at the several martial arts figures vying for the Heavenly Tree Jade, and the pack of Heart-Stealing Wolves faintly visible on the high ground ahead, Zhang Jianyun sighed once again. This time, he truly didn't know how many people would perish here.

As if sensing Zhang Jianyun's emotions, Liu Fei, who was next to him, said, "That's how the martial world is. They live a life of uncertainty, not knowing what tomorrow will bring. For them, getting the immediate benefit is the most important thing, even if they die the moment they get it. Don't think too much about them."

Just then, the treasure-hunting rat stopped again.
