Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1672: Chapter 1674: Tattoo

Han Long was very frustrated and desperate.

In his entire life, he had never encountered anything more despairing than the matter at hand.

The greatest secret of their family, a secret that only one person in each generation knows!

And yet, just because of a change in a single word, it has been uncovered now?!

If it were because he himself was too foolish and got tricked by others, he would admit it.

But now, it’s not that he is foolish, it’s because the opponent isn’t human at all!

How is this possible?

With just one word, you completely unearthed the greatest secret of our family. Are we still meant to live?!

”Stop standing there in a daze, talk about the information,” Lu Xiaobu stood up and said.

”Hehe...” Han Long laughed bitterly; ”Honestly, I only know a rough idea, just that there are Three Treasure Lands and Three Absolute Lands within, but the exact address, I only know one, which is where this group of people is heading now.”

Lu Xiaobu squinted his eyes and said nothing.

”I know you don’t believe it, but it’s true. These secrets are passed down orally in our family, and each generation only one person knows them.”

”My steward always keeps an eye on me, because we who know the secret, although not becoming the Family Head, hold a status in the family equivalent to the Family Head.”

”My father was preparing to pass this secret on to me, so he would occasionally mention a word or two.”

”However, he hadn’t yet intended to lay everything out for me, fearing I was too young to keep the secret.”

”And the place I mentioned earlier, I only knew of because I happened to overhear others’ plans, and that’s true.”

”I didn’t even know whether that place was a Treasure Land or an Absolute Land, so my curiosity made me want to come and see.”

”I don’t know if you have ever experienced this feeling; once you know this secret, you almost never need to go out for a lifetime, let alone verify what you know on Blood Continent!”

”I couldn’t resist, I really couldn’t, I didn’t want my life to end just like that, so I had to force my way in to take a look.”

Han Long finished speaking and sat on the ground, laughing bitterly in a daze.

Believe it or not, he had already been honest.

Lu Xiaobu nodded upon hearing this.

If that’s how it is, he could somewhat understand why this lad had to rush in.

Guarding a secret you don’t know is true or false, yet have to protect for a lifetime and even sacrifice freedom, indeed fills one with discontent.

It’s like marrying a woman and having children for a lifetime, but the woman always keeps a veil over her head until she dies, can you bear never knowing what she looks like for a lifetime?

”Let’s go, take a look and find out,” Lu Xiaobu dusted off his clothes and said: ”Lead the way.”

”You believe me?” Han Long was taken aback.

”It’s not about believing or not believing; as long as what you say contains a lie, unless you can cover every angle flawlessly, I will know, do you believe that?” Lu Xiaobu smiled lightly.

”Believe! I really believe!” Han Long said with a bitter smile: ”You perceived so much from just a word, how can I not believe?”

”Then let’s go.” Lu Xiaobu said lightly.

”Alright, this way, if I remember correctly, that place is to the east,” Han Long got up and said.

At this point, he had no other choice but to rely on this person of unparalleled wisdom and bravery.

He realized that staying here alone for half a month, he would definitely not survive!

The two of them set off together.

Along the way, there were constantly various beasts emerging, but none could withstand a single blow from Lu Xiaobu.

This made Han Long increasingly realize how terrifying Lu Xiaobu was.

Many of the beasts’ attacks, he didn’t even react to, several times thinking he was about to die.

After all, these beasts didn’t charge straight at them but attacked from various directions.

From the ground, from the trees, from the sky, and many other places.

However, no matter how tricky these beasts were, they would always collide with a hand seemingly waiting for them.

Lu Xiaobu’s hand!

And then, they bid farewell to the world.

He truly couldn’t understand how this person detected the beasts’ attacks, clearly, there were no abnormal signs at all!

Of course, he couldn’t comprehend that Lu Xiaobu, with his Five Elements fully open, had eyes more effective than any detector.

In his eyes, everything around was in various colors: yellow soil, green trees, golden metals, black Water, green Fire.

Besides these colors, especially those that were moving, were naturally the beasts!

Under such virtually unobstructed conditions, their pace was very fast.

Of course, Han Long was not entirely useless; at least he identified several plants needed in the handbook and told Lu Xiaobu that the bodies of these beasts actually contained something called Blood Crystal.

After processing, the Blood Crystal can become something to refine the body, and works very well.

The two continued forward.

Finally, they encountered humans other than those three robbers.

But!

Most of them were dead!

”It’s Mei Tingfeng’s team!” Han Long immediately recognized the people ahead.

Before Lu Xiaobu could ask, he quickly explained: ”Mei Tingfeng is from Yiji Mansion, one of those going treasure hunting! Look closely, don’t all those dead people have collars? They were all slaves brought in to help Mei Tingfeng!”

Lu Xiaobu nodded.

He didn’t pay attention to the slaves; he was interested in the person who was killing.

That was clearly a person from the small world.

This person, akin to a primitive man, was clad entirely in animal skins, with blood-red eyes and covered in mystical tattoos.

Even more astonishing, these tattoos were emitting a faint glow, and every time they shone, his combat power increased!

”He’s from the Original Realm!” Han Long also noticed the primitive man and immediately spoke: ”My steward told me, people from the Original Realm are the only ones in the small world who can match the physical prowess of Demon Realm’s people.”

”However, they don’t directly train the body but use the tattoos made from beast blood.”

”These tattoos allow them to borrow some strength from the animals, quite formidable!”

”Hmm.” Lu Xiaobu nodded. He could tell they were strong; one person fighting against a dozen slaves, it was overwhelmingly one-sided.

”But why is the Original Realm person fighting with Mei Tingfeng?” Han Long frowned: ”Logically speaking, Mei Tingfeng wouldn’t stir up trouble at this crucial moment!”

As for that guy from the Original Realm causing trouble, he didn’t even consider it—unless that person was crazy, challenging so many people alone?!
