Chapter 1385 - Chapter 1385 Chapter 1385 Iron Repair Country

Chapter 1385: Chapter 1385: Iron Repair Country Chapter 1385: Chapter 1385: Iron Repair Country All the mimickers in this world, these exceedingly wretched green-skinned dwarves, would gather in “Ironxiu Country” to plot together, discussing how to hunt down treasure hunters and emerge victorious in this brutal survival game!

Huang Xiaolong had already obtained the intelligence he wanted.

“Alright, I’ve said what I need to say, now let me go,” the small green dwarf, his arm severed, glared at Huang Xiaolong with wolf-like eyes, filled with venomous resentment as if wishing he could grind Huang Xiaolong to bits between his teeth.

“Is there anything you haven’t mentioned?” Huang Xiaolong asked teasingly, “You’d better think it over.”

“I have nothing more to say! All my kin are in Ironxiu Country, you can go find them yourself! When the time comes, we can have a showdown!” the small green person said fiercely. “A battle to decide life or death! What do you say? Do you dare?”

“Hahaha~~ What a ‘battle to decide life or death.'” Huang Xiaolong laughed, then with a flick of his hand.

Whoosh~~!

From the netherworld, a beam of cleansing light burst forth, shining upon the small green creature’s head.

Huang Xiaolong intended to convert this mimicker before proceeding.

Under the current circumstances, with the enemy in the dark and us in the light, the situation was very perilous. Only by converting a mimicker to become an inside spy, working in collusion from within, could they increase their chances of winning.

Unexpectedly!

“Hm? This creature actually resists the cleansing light and cannot be converted? Now that’s strange!” Huang Xiaolong was slightly surprised.

His cleansing light could even convert the Dragon King Immortal Emperor, yet it had no effect on this base creature before him!

However, it wasn’t long before Huang Xiaolong withdrew the cleansing light and muttered, “Indeed, the universe is vast and full of wonders, harboring all sorts of strange and curious beings.”

Having said that, Huang Xiaolong gave the Third Crown Prince a knowing look. “Brother-in-law, send this mimicker off.”

“Right! In this survival game, it’s either they die or we perish, there is nothing else to say,” the Third Crown Prince struck out with a punch.

This punch contained an unimaginable and majestic dragon force, straightforward and powerful, instantly shattering the despicable, small green-skinned mimicker into pieces, exploding into dust.

“Phew~~ Finally eliminated~~” The Profound Immortal who had been mimicked let out a long breath, feeling an unprecedented sense of relief.

Destroying this mimicker, the most satisfying and clear-minded individual was none other than the Profound Immortal who had been copied.

“Ladies and gentlemen, let’s not be hasty, we should first find a place to have a good discussion,” Huang Xiaolong suggested. “Let’s think in the long term.”

Before long, the treasure hunters flew to another city in this country.

Order reigned here, extremely peaceful.

Huang Xiaolong and the others rented out an elegantly situated villa.

Inside the villa.

“`

A grand hall.

Treasure hunters sat in a circle.

Huang Xiaolong naturally took the seat at the head of the table.

“Brother Huang Xiaolong, how should we deal with this situation now?” asked Sword Immortal Emperor humbly, looking at Huang Xiaolong.

“Within a range of a thousand li, the mimics can sense our presence, while we can hardly sense theirs; this is a huge disadvantage,” Huang Xiaolong pinpointed the crux of the problem. “If we don’t eliminate this disadvantage, it will be very hard for us to win this brutal game.”

“Yes, brother-in-law, this means that even if we know those despicable mimics will gather in the Iron Xi Kingdom, we are helpless. After all, once we approach within a thousand li of Iron Xi Kingdom, it is very likely that we’ll be discovered,” the Third Crown Prince of the Dragon King said with a worried expression. “No, to be precise, we will definitely be discovered.”

At these words, the other treasure hunters were left speechless.

“Given the current situation, it really has become like we’re prey being hunted, with the mimics acting as the hunters,” Immortal Emperor Ziyan lamented.

“Don’t lose heart, everyone,” the Ninth Princess chimed in quickly. “My brother-in-law will surely have a way, right?”

Huang Xiaolong smiled and said, “First things first, we need to blend into the Iron Xi Kingdom.”

He paused briefly and gave Xu Fu a signal with his eyes.

“Yes, Master,” Xu Fu stood up respectfully and announced loudly, “Ladies and gentlemen, the Master has ordered me to gather intelligence. Here, I have a map.”

With a wave of his hand, a beautifully glowing map floated in front of him.

Xu Fu explained while pointing at the map. “Please look at the map. Currently, our location is the ‘Ancient Lan Kingdom’–from here to Iron Xi Kingdom, the shortest path is thirty thousand li. Along the way, we will pass through seven small nations, two medium-sized states, and one large country.”

Xu Fu continued his detailed explanation while gesturing on the map. “Iron Xi Kingdom is a great nation in this world, with a population of trillions and such thriving national power that it dominates the entire world, unmatched by any other. Iron Xi Kingdom also deeply enshrines the way of cultivation, giving birth to many strong individuals, including the presence of Immortal Emperors! In this world, Iron Xi Kingdom is truly heaven on earth, a nation revered by all others!”

“This is the intelligence we have at present,” Xu Fu finished, then looked respectfully towards Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong nodded slightly. “All right, everyone has heard it clearly. The time limit for the Battle Royale game is one hundred days, and the journey to the Iron Xi Kingdom from here is merely tens of thousands of li–such a distance, we could cover in half a day.”

He paused before continuing, “However, we can’t travel ostentatiously to avoid being discovered and ambushed by those despicable mimics along the way.”

“Brother Huang Xiaolong, the most pressing matter is still how to evade the eyes and ears of the mimics and sneak into Iron Xi Kingdom,” the Demon King Kui said.

“Moreover, even if we manage to sneak into Iron Xi Kingdom, we’ll still face enemies several times stronger than us–just the thought of it gives me a headache,” the Demon King roared, shrugging his shoulders. “Throughout history, there have been instances of the weak overcoming the strong, but in this battle, the enemy is too much stronger than us.”

“Actually–ha, it’s really not easy to say who’s weaker and who’s stronger,” Huang Xiaolong said, somewhat dismissively. “Think about it, those despicable mimics have only copied our ultimate moves and combat strength, that’s all. But we have Immortal Artifacts and various other resources to rely on; how could those mimics compare to us?”

“Yeah!” exclaimed Sword Immortal Emperor, slapping his thigh. “I forget about that; we have Immortal Artifacts and things to save our lives!”

Huang Xiaolong’s words dispersed the gloomy atmosphere in the room, and the treasure hunters revived their fighting spirit.

“In conclusion, let’s head to Iron Xi Kingdom first and decide the outcome with those despicable mimics,” proclaimed Huang Xiaolong decisively, filled with an intense will to fight.

Subconsciously, Huang Xiaolong also refused to allow any despicable beings to mimic his combat power and various techniques! It felt as if his own property had been stolen! He must catch the thief as soon as possible and slay them with great satisfaction!

“`

“On the way, let’s be careful and keep a low profile,” Huang Xiaolong cautioned. “We don’t need to fly conspicuously; just travel normally. Also, we need to find a way to conceal our auras.”

After speaking, Huang Xiaolong took out a stack of blank talisman papers and started drawing talismans on his own.

One by one, he drew talismans that were intricate and mysterious.

These talismans served a singular purpose–to conceal aura!

To hide both the bodily and soul’s aura!

Given that those despicable imitators could lock onto the positions of the treasure hunters with relative accuracy within a range of a thousand miles based on their auras, Huang Xiaolong strived to draw some high-level talismans for concealing aura, making everyone invisible.

To avoid being targeted by the imitators.

Remaining under the disadvantage of the enemy being hidden while we were exposed would be far too challenging for the treasure hunters. Being constantly vulnerable to the enemy’s claws meant either death or utter exhaustion!

He completed the talismans and had the treasure hunters tuck them inside their bodies.

The treasure hunters’ auras, even the frequencies of their soul fluctuations, were now significantly concealed. Although it wasn’t guaranteed to fool the imitators, it at least improved their odds of success!

The next day, Huang Xiaolong led the treasure hunters on a low-key journey!

This “low-key” travel involved purchasing many mounts.

They were nearly beast-like, resembling horses from Earth but more majestic, with wings that allowed them to fly three to five thousand miles a day.

Riding the “flying horses” like ordinary travelers, the treasure hunters set out from the country of Gu Lan, heading all the way to the nation of Tie Xiu!

Along the way, they also deliberately asked the local natives for information about Tie Xiu.

However, the intelligence they gathered was nothing out of the ordinary, simply mentioning that Tie Xiu was a celestial nation worshiped by myriad other nations with a plethora of masters emerging from within!

And more so!

The strongest man in the world was the king of Tie Xiu!

This man was an ancient relic who had personally built the powerful Tie Xiu!

Known as “Tie Xiu Old Ancestor.”

Based on Huang Xiaolong and the others’ estimation, the realm of this “Tie Xiu Old Ancestor” must at least be at the level of an Immortal Emperor!

After a few days of traveling, they finally arrived within a thousand miles of Tie Xiu’s territory!

The treasure hunters halted their advance.

They settled in a small nation, Meng Lan, a thousand miles away.

Even from a distance, they could sense the prosperous and luxurious atmosphere of Tie Xiu.

And… just arriving in Meng Lan, they received shocking news–

Yesterday!

A sudden upheaval occurred in Tie Xiu!

The king, the world’s foremost power, “Tie Xiu Old Ancestor,” was suppressed in person by a group of mysterious enemies, slaughtered, and even his head was cut off and hung on the city gates for public display!

That group of mysterious enemies took control of Tie Xiu in just one day.

Now, within Tie Xiu, smoke from the ongoing war billowed, and the flames of battle reached the skies!

These mysterious enemies, with unknown origins, were brutal, often destroying entire families, and countless sentient beings of Tie Xiu had died at their hands.

The most powerful celestial nation in the world was now in deep turmoil, on the verge of destruction!

There were even rumors that Tie Xiu was now locked down, forbidding anyone’s entry, and the people inside, like penned livestock, could not leave!

Tie Xiu had become a demonic realm!

The treasure hunters were understandably aware of the gravity of this sudden change!

“Brother-in-law, it must be those imitators who took control of this world’s mightiest empire after acquiring great power! How ambitious! What a group of despicable people!” the Third Crown Prince roared with fury.

The treasure hunters were equally indignant.

These contemptible thieves had stolen the power of the treasure hunters and were now wreaking havoc everywhere–sheer shamelessness and evil!

“It must be their doing,” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes shone with a ruthless gleam, “Alright, tomorrow, we head to Tie Xiu.”

The next day!

The treasure hunters set out again, directly heading to the distant Tie Xiu!

In no time at all, they could see a vast nation ahead of them.

At this moment, a heavy pall of death hung over the nation’s sky.

Yet when they extended their senses, they detected nothing amiss–only the fact that inside Tie Xiu, countless bodies lay strewn, with an unknown number of lives lost.

“Brother Huang Xiaolong, we haven’t detected the auras of those imitators, but clearly, they must be inside Tie Xiu,” the Sword Immortal Emperor said gravely.

Before Huang Xiaolong could respond, the Purple Flame Immortal Emperor looked puzzled and spoke in a hushed tone, “At this moment, we don’t know whether those imitators have… detected our auras–if we’ve been discovered, then entering Tie Xiu now would be like walking into a trap.”

The treasure hunters, standing outside Tie Xiu, were suffused with an indescribable sense of unease and tension!
