God-Level Special Forces Soldier

Chapter 642: Chapter 639: Category 10 Gale

On the surface, this matter seems like foreigners forcibly robbing Huaxia People, but Xiao Tian vaguely feels that it’s not that simple behind the scenes.

But when he saw Lin Bingxuan recounting these matters with a furious look, he decided not to mention his suspicions for now — those foreigners robbing herbs might not necessarily serve foreign forces!

It’s said to be speculation, but based on Xiao Tian’s understanding of the Huaxia alliance, he’s seventy to eighty percent certain in his heart.

The initial intention of forming the alliance was not voluntary but a helpless decision, and although the foreign force alliance was similar, the foundation of being forced into an alliance was undeniable.

Since it’s an alliance, in places that do not concern the bigger picture, one would surely lag behind materially, mainly reflected in the execution of orders and the uniformity between factions.

Foreigners brazenly or directly dispatch people or hire freelancers to rob the Medicine Gatherers to make a huge profit from the opportunity, it’s impossible for Huaxia sects and forces to be entirely unaware.

In such a situation, it’s impossible to maintain a righteous attitude, and nobody can unite all parties to form a consensus, let alone propose a solution.

The reason is simple, because Medicine Gatherers are all ordinary people, it’s easy to succeed with some entry-level experts.

And Kunlun Mountain is vast and resourceful, even if both Huaxia and foreign camps were to go all out, they might not entirely grasp it.

Of course, the possibility of such a situation happening is zero, even if such an absurd thing were to occur, the biggest possibility would just be changing the battlefield of confrontation, and the Medicine Gatherers would vanish into thin air, leaving no benefits for anyone!

Since this situation can’t be controlled, nor resolved or eradicated, many seemingly righteous sects secretly hatch small schemes, only a fool would refuse such a high-gain, low-investment opportunity!

Not even needing a leader, various factions would naturally come to this realization, quickly seizing the initiative and acting, making as much as they can, since such a chance is rare.

In this situation with such temptations, nobody can remain unaffected; just because you refrain doesn’t mean others will.

So when many sects with similar strengths and financial resources see others taking the lead, it’s impossible for them to watch them surpass their own sects in one fell swoop!

Therefore, whether subjectively or under compulsion, some forces won’t accept being left out.

Although fundamentally the same, there are differences: foreigners can be unabashed and blatant, but Huaxia People cannot be so outspoken, at least needing a veil to cover their shame, hiding their sins.

...

When Sun Bo saw Xiao Tian and the others ”returning fully loaded,” his previously calm emotions suddenly exploded again, his face reddened with anger, trembling all over, eventually unable to control a string of curses.

Of course, Sun Bo was not directing his anger at Xiao Tian and his group, he simply didn’t expect the extent of the foreigners’ plundering to be so outrageous!

According to Sun Bo’s description, Xiao Tian and the others could tell that such an amount of herbs was at least a month’s total for their village, and this is just a conservative estimate.

”Sun Bo, how many Medicine Gatherers are there in your village?” Lin Bingxuan calculated a total of more than thirty herbs, unable to hold back her curiosity, she asked with a frown.

To Lin Bingxuan, even calculating at the rate of forty-one, even if Sun Bo’s village had only five Medicine Gatherers, picking two herbs per day would far exceed this number in a month.

Seeing all eyes on him waiting for an answer, Sun Bo pondered for a moment and said, ”I know you think I’m exaggerating, but it’s not your fault, given the difference in our trades...”

After talking for a long time and realizing he was digressing, Sun Bo awkwardly coughed twice and explained, ”Firstly, the weather is harsh, this place is deep within Kunlun Mountain, it’s snowing almost all year round.”

”Plus, the wind can come suddenly, so safety is an issue; besides, we Medicine Gatherers don’t get results every day, coming back empty-handed is a common occurrence.”

”In short, having twenty days a month to go out is already very good, and as the older generation of gatherers ages, the young are unwilling to take up this craft, having long since moved away.”

”What’s left do we elder folks have to offer?!” Sun Bo said with a bit of desolation in his eyes, ”Now including me, we only have seven Medicine Gatherers left in the village...”

...

The words from Sun Bo made everyone feel a bit heavy, Ghost Face seemed to resonate empathetically, having herbs to sell but no buyers, wanting to buy but nowhere to purchase, it felt somewhat mocking!

Suddenly, Sun Bo’s expression changed dramatically, he then looked up at the sky, his eyebrows knitted into a knot.

While everyone was puzzled looking at him, Duoduo in Lin Bingxuan’s Divine Sense Realm pre-emptively said, ”It’s not good, sister master! A big wind is about to blow; you must quickly find shelter!”

Hearing the little girl’s anxious voice, Lin Bingxuan was momentarily at a loss, then saw Sun Bo with a grim expression saying, ”Quickly find cover, a big wind is coming!”

With that, Sun Bo hurriedly beckoned everyone, leaving the open space with swift steps, eyes quickly sweeping around, searching for shelter.

As soon as everyone started moving, the sky was instantly shrouded in dark clouds, a gust of wind swept the snow, making their faces sting, forcing them to use power to resist!

This apocalyptic-like scene made Sun Bo sweat with anxiety; in the urgency, he could only hug a tree as thick as a person and told everyone to do the same.

Duoduo’s earlier warning was naturally not missed by Xiao Tian who shares the Divine Sense Realm passage with Lin Bingxuan, seeing the sudden scene quickly asked, ”Can you predict the wind’s level and duration?”

Upon Xiao Tian’s inquiry, Duoduo in the Divine Sense Realm frowned her delicate eyebrows, her pen dancing on the paper, writing a series of symbols no one could understand.

Soon, after filling three pages, the little girl began comparing the data on the pages, ”Based on the current level, the results are as follows: wind level ten, duration is ten minutes.”

”Level ten?” The assessment from the little girl made Xiao Tian’s heart shudder, this could no longer be called a strong wind, it should be labeled a gale that could uproot trees and damage structures!

Seeing the thick tree hugged by Sun Bo starting to tilt in its upper third, Xiao Tian hesitated no more, deploying a True Qi Bomb to blast into the ground.
