Dark Blood Age Chapter 54

Chapter 54

“Why?” Chu Yunsheng asked without any emotions.

Ding Yan stood on the footpath between two dried paddy fields. He pointed at a place that was not far from them. Over there, many men and women; young and old were lying on the cold land, carefully digging the ground, trying to find frozen earthworms and even voles. Each time they caught one, they would quickly stuff it into the mouth, or hide in their arms.

He raised his voice and said, “the world has changed, the rules have changed, and the order has also changed. This world is now full of reptiles, monsters, what can I do? If I want to live, I need to become stronger. Otherwise, I’ll become one of them!”

Everyone understood this, even including Chu Yunsheng.

Ding Yan turned around and laughed, “the things we saw back in the food factory, you probably still remember it, nowadays, it is not just the insect that simple, there is something bad ahead of us, but who knows what it is. I and Xiao Yao(Yao Xiang) just want to stay alive, and want to become more powerful. The number of awakened warriors will increase, and we are very lucky to be the first batch of people that awakened our power. I can guarantee that the world will belong to awakened warriors, no matter how powerful the military is, they will not be able to stop this. Unless there is an incredible technological breakthrough.”

Chu Yunsheng said, “maybe you are right, but this is not the reason you want to help me.”

Ding Yan jumped off the footpath, and said sternly, “you are the strangest awakened warrior I’ve ever seen, and the most special one, I’ve never seen you use any other abilities than a sword until today, your sword can slice insect’s armor easily, your armor could stop the long-faced man’s deadly attack easily, but that’s not important, the important thing is that, today, you can even use dark energy just like us! Also, your friend Yu Xiaohai, when we fought with the tentacle monster, only he was the least wounded, but he was not that strong. Don’t you think that’s a bit odd? Even the flying insect couldn’t rip him apart.”

Chu Yunsheng was instantly alarmed. He looked at them coldly and said, “you were watching us?”

Ding Yan calmly replied, “it’s hard not to notice. I said that you have shocked us all with your powerful abilities. To me, it is not just the things you have shown, it’s more shocking that you have just killed a tentacle monster, but you can recover your energy that fast. That’s something that I’ve never seen before! ”

Chu Yunsheng didn’t know that Ding Yan could notice this much in secret, but since he had decided to join the escort team, he had already expected someone would notice his difference, so he didn’t mind at all.

Ding Yan carried on, “I and Xiao Yao don’t want to know your secret, everyone have their secrets, no one want to reveal everything to others, I just want to work with you, I will be your informant, and you can provide us with some of that stuff Yu Xiaohai had.”

Chu Yunsheng needed an informant, it was much easier for him to keep track of where the military was, especially if he encountered some insects on the road, he wouldn’t lose them.

But he was very wary of Ding Yan. If it was Yao Xiang, he might have believed him, but Ding Yan, he always felt that this man wasn’t reliable.

Ding Yan laughed at himself, “brother Chu, I know you do not trust me, but there is no other way to do it, I can not let Yao Xiang do it, he is a cultivation maniac, and also an honest man. If he does it, it won’t be long before they find out what he is doing, he may even lose his life because of it. By the way, brother Chu, do you think that I need to lie to you?”

Chu Yunsheng thought for a second. Yes, there was no need for him to lie. Actually, Ding Yan didn’t need to come here, he could just join the military and set up a trap to catch him, he didn’t even need to bring Yao Xiang with him.

Once Chu Yunsheng figured it out, he did not carry on questioning Ding Yan’s motives. Two energy shield talismans wouldn’t consume him too much Yuan Qi, also he could even make an energy shield talisman stop working at any time.

But he still didn’t want to enchant Ding Yan’s handgun, he wanted to keep his guard up until he could trust him a hundred percent.

Chu Yunsheng smiled, “I hope we can make a great team.”

Ding Yan patted Yao Xiang’s shoulder and nodded his head. “I hope us three will get to Jin Ling city alive!”

Yao Xiang has not said a single word since he came here. He seemed to trust Ding Yan a lot, but Chu Yunsheng didn’t want to ask about their past. Because he didn’t think it would be a pleasant topic to talk about.

Only until Chu Yunsheng and Ding Yan agreed to partner up, did Yao Xiang finally talk excitedly, “brother Chu, you are so strong, do you know how much I want to have that level of strength!”

Chu Yunsheng shook his head, and sat on the footpath, “since we are working together, I need to explain you something, I can give you the energy shield like what red-shelled insects have, but there is a time limit, the shield strength is also correlated to your own strength, but it could at least withstand two red-shelled insects’ combination attack, it can be dangerous if you are facing three or more insects.”

Although Ding Yan had already guessed that Chu Yunsheng had this kind of stuff, it still shocked him. So far he had never heard of any human, who could produce this kind of energy shield. Everyone mainly relied on their abilities to defend themselves, it was either ice or fire. Usually, ice elemental warriors had higher defence abilities, and fire elemental warriors had higher damage abilities.

Chu Yunsheng ignored their reactions. Time was ticking, so he carried on, “you both know that I want to kill that long-faced man, I want to avenge my brother’s death, but the long-faced man is strong, ambushing won’t kill him, especially when he has many people in his group. If I want to kill him, I need to clean those people first”

Ding Yan adjusted his gun and said, “so what’s your plan?”

Chu Yunsheng snorted, “Commander Du is going to leave this place soon. It’s a few hundred miles from here to Jin Ling city, they will encounter countless monsters, so people will die or be injured. I am going to wait until their defence is weakened, then disrupt them in the dark while they are fighting monsters, make them lose their mobility, so monsters will kill them for me! ”

Ding Yan nodded his head, “sounds good, but we need to choose a right place to do it, we can’t do it when they near Jin Ling city, we can’t do it too early as well. I’ll find a way to give you the information you need. Based on their overall strength, you can decide when you want to do it.”

Chu Yunsheng smiled. Having an insider was so much easier now, in order to speed up, Chu Yunsheng took out some canned food and bread and gave them to Ding Yan and Yao Xiang. He asked them to eat some food before they left. While they were eating, he quickly took out the equipment to make two energy shield talismans.

Ding Yan and Yao Xiang were shocked when Chu Yunsheng cast talismans onto their bodies, but he did not explain anything to them, just like what Ding Yan said, everyone got their own secrets.

“I need a crossbow or bow. Do you know if there are any archery clubs in Kun city?” Chu Yunsheng asked. He hoped that they knew so it would save him a lot of trouble.

Ding Yan thought for a second, and then shook his head, “I know many clubs in Kun city, but I have never heard of an archery club, if you definitely need it, you and Yao Xiang can try to find it when you get there. Some people may still be inside that city, they probably have not retreated yet, you can ask them. And also, remember this mark, I’ll leave them on the road, so you don’t have to worried about losing us”

Chu Yunsheng sighed, “I think that’s the only way to do it. Okay, it is a bit late now, we should get started.”

Ding Yan brushed off the dirt from his clothes and said, “I’m going back now, you both stay behind, be extremely careful, don’t get too close.”

Looking at Ding Yan slowly disappeared into the crowd, Chu Yunsheng could not help but think, ‘is it really worth it for him to be an insider just for extra protection?’

Maybe he was confident in doing it, or maybe Ding Yan wanted something else that he did not mention. But Who knows.
