How Frightening It Is When Someone Puts Aside Their Pride

Qiuming Mountain.

Su Xiaolou led a group of people, trudging laboriously along the rugged mountain path.

The paths of Qiuming Mountain twisted and turned, with particularly numerous bends. There was a direct route to the mountaintop, but the winding mountain path made the time needed for this journey especially long.

If Su Xiaolou hadn't set out immediately, rushing as fast as he could, even with three days, he probably wouldn't have arrived.

"Who the hell designed this broken road? It's too damn cruel. We could have gone straight up the mountain, but instead we have to walk so many extra circles!"

Qionglou's other vice president, Luo Cheng, grumbled as he walked.

"Be grateful. You should know that Qiuming Mountain is a level 300 wild area. In most level 300 wild areas, monsters would be everywhere, but this road is strangely devoid of monsters. It's as if they're afraid of something."

Su Xiaolou said, "If not for this, with our abilities, how would we have any right to come here?"

"That still doesn't justify making it look like this devil's work, it's just torturing people."

"Stop complaining and stay alert. I've heard there's a divine level treasure chest here, only visible to those who walk from the very beginning all the way to the mountaintop. Maybe we'll be the ones to open it?"

"Divine level treasure chest?"

Hearing this, everyone's spirits instantly lifted.

A divine level treasure chest? The minimum it would contain would be an epic level item, right?

The highest would be mythic level equipment.

Mythic level items all belonged to the divine artifact category.

In the Great Wasteland, supreme level was the highest, followed by mythic level.

Supreme level items were considered ultimate equipment, something they couldn't even imagine obtaining now.

So currently, mythic level should be the equipment they desired most.

But they also knew that forget mythic level, even legendary level items were rare. Among the entire Qionglou's three thousand plus members, they had only one piece.

Mythic level wasn't even worth dreaming about.

Now hearing about a mythic level treasure chest, of course they were excited.

"Really? Really? Really? Is there really a mythic level treasure chest?"

Everyone immediately started chattering.

"Like hell there is. If there were a mythic level treasure chest, would it still be waiting for us? Wouldn't it be gone already?"

"That's true. Since Qiuming Mountain has this special route, almost any player could come. How would there be anything left for us?"

"What do you know? This chest isn't visible to just anyone. You have to walk from the foot of the mountain all the way to the top, and you need a special detection skill to see it."

Su Xiaolou said proudly.

"Vice President, are you saying you have a special detection skill?"

"Do you even need to ask?" Su Xiaolou was quite smug, "I once lucked out and got an Observing Eyes skill book, which can discover some hidden treasure chests. This time, we might just open a divine artifact!"

"Wow... really? We're going to get a divine artifact?"

Everyone held their breath, all looking extremely excited.

Only Luo Cheng suddenly remembered something and spoke up, "Wait a minute, aren't we... here to rescue the Guild Master? How did this turn into opening a treasure chest?"

"The Guild Master has treated you all so well, how can you justify this to her?"

Luo Cheng put on a serious face and berated everyone angrily.

These words made Huo Silou, who had been watching them from the sky, feel somewhat comforted.

"At least Luo Cheng, this little bastard, still has some conscience. Sigh, it wasn't in vain that I spent so much effort and time cultivating him."

"Unlike that beast Su Xiaolou, pretending to rescue me while actually bringing a group to open a treasure chest to bolster his own courage. Sigh, how unfortunate to meet such people."

Huo Silou suddenly felt a bit sad.

But seeing Qionglou's members finally lowering their heads under Luo Cheng's reprimand, recognizing their mistakes and beginning to repent, her heart was somewhat consoled.

But just as she was about to have Jiang Cheng bring her down to join them, the next scene almost made her sit down and crush these people to death.

"Whatever equipment we get, I plan to sell it and divide the funds among everyone, with the rest going toward team building, providing sufficient funding for our barbecue club."

With Su Xiaolou's solemn promise, Huo Silou expected that Luo Cheng, who she thought had a conscience, would certainly not abandon her for such petty gains.

But in reality, as soon as Su Xiaolou finished speaking, Luo Cheng nodded very satisfactorily.

"Then it's settled! Xiaolou, you'd better not go back on your word!"

"Do I, Su Xiaolou, look like someone who breaks promises? But... what about the Guild Master?"

"Barbecue forever, to hell with the Guild Master." Luo Cheng was the first to raise his hand and declare.

"Yes, barbecue forever!"

"Barbecue forever!"

With the two vice presidents taking the lead, others also began to cheer.

Huo Silou: "..."

"Hey, Skeleton Little Brother, do you have a knife?"

Huo Silou was utterly devastated.

All she could think of now was getting a knife to slaughter these ungrateful white-eyed wolves!

They sold out their Guild Master for a barbecue?

Did their years of relationship have to capsize so quickly?

"Head up the mountain."

Jiang Cheng spread his wings and flew directly to the mountaintop.

He had no interest in participating in their drama.

He needed to clear Hell's outpost as soon as possible, to give Hell a warning.

To let them know the consequences of messing with him.

Though Jiang Cheng couldn't defeat the Seven Demon Lords of Sin now, he had no problem destroying Hell's outposts.

He also wanted to let the Seven Demon Lords of Sin know just how frightening a person could be when they put aside their pride.
