Chapter 1038 - 1045: Capture? (Part 1)
Chapter 1038: Chapter 1045: Capture? (Part 1)
Xiong Tu nodded!
The others were a bit confused, not knowing what the two were specifically talking about.
"But, it’s the foundation!" Xiong Ba was somewhat troubled; he never expected Grandpa to want to touch that thing.
Moreover, even with Innate, it might not be possible to capture it.
Xiong Tu waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t need to say more.
Seeing that Grandpa had made up his mind, Xiong Ba said no more.
Anyway, the family had reached this point. In a few more years, if there was no new hope, it would really be divided by other families.
So instead of that, it would be better to use up some important things.
Perhaps it could still have some effect.
Thinking of this, he seemed to understand something. Could Grandpa be capturing that thing to extend his life?
That thing might have that effect.
The next moment, he looked at his wife, "Wife, get ready, we’ll follow Grandpa up the mountain!"
Just as he said this and before his wife could react, Xiong Tu interrupted him, "No need, the five of us can go!"
"The five of you?" Xiong Ba didn’t understand.
Grandpa’s Innate power wasn’t a problem, but in his eyes, Lin Xi and the other three seemed to all have ordinary strength!
What help could they be?
Knowing that to capture that thing, even if he and his wife as Peak Soldier Kings joined, it might not be possible.
Xiong Tu had made up his mind, but he still explained, "Firstly, too many people will alert the snake and easily scare it away!"
"Secondly, after what just happened, it’s not advisable for you to leave the family. You should thoroughly reorganize!"
At this, he became a bit angry, couldn’t help glaring at Xiong Ba, and scolded, "You, a proper Patriarch, and for so many years, have been betrayed by almost all of the family members, you didn’t even know!"
"You better reflect on this!"
Although Xiong Ba was a no-nonsense Patriarch, at this moment, he didn’t show his usual dominance.
After all, this was Grandpa!
Moreover, Grandpa was an Innate Powerhouse and had a bad temper.
He didn’t dare provoke him!
He had been beaten in public before, more than once or twice.
So, he silently stopped speaking.
Anyway, with Grandpa there, Tao’Er and the others wouldn’t be in any life-threatening danger.
As for capturing that thing, he had no hope for it.
After all, it wasn’t the first time trying, but simply could not capture it; that thing was too alert.
"That’s right!" he muttered to himself.
With such a large-scale rebellion at home, he didn’t know a thing.
Yes, it’s time to properly reorganize.
The clan’s people should also be kept under surveillance.
Though they probably wouldn’t commit any more treachery, some small moves or accidents were unpredictable.
With someone watching, there wouldn’t be any problems.
Lin Xi, Peng Bo, Xiong Haitao, and Cui Hua, under Xiong Tu’s lead, left the Xiong family town openly.
Passing through the town, they attracted a lot of attention.
Although people didn’t recognize the four of Lin Xi, many had met Xiong Tu before.
It immediately caused a stir in the town.
Seeing Xiong Tu thriving and not at all like the decrepit state he was rumored to be in, the rumors that he only had a few years to live were instantly dispelled.
Many astute individuals immediately changed their attitude towards the Xiong family.
The group still drinking at the inn, seeing Lin Xi and the others walking with Xiong Tu, was almost scared to death.
Knowing Lin Xi had dined there, they had mocked them hard, calling them country bumpkins and whatnot.
They never imagined Lin Xi knew Xiong Tu.
And Xiong Tu’s fierce reputation, known far and wide for being ruthless, was daunting.
If Lin Xi complained to Xiong Tu, this group would most likely be in danger.
"Lucky, lucky!" they thought, seeing Lin Xi and the others leave without a fuss, they breathed a sigh of relief.
After Lin Xi and the others disappeared, the group lost their desire to drink and quickly dispersed.
If they ever remembered and came back, it would be a big problem.
As for Lin Xi and the other three leaving Xiong family town, this incident didn’t even cross their minds.
In fact, they didn’t care about the mockery at all, as they had received the message anyway.
Of course, had Lin Xi cared, they wouldn’t have had a chance to meet Xiong Tu in the first place.
At this time, Lin Xi was very curious about what Xiong Tu was taking them to capture?
Peng Bo asked Xiong Haitao, and Xiong Haitao said he didn’t know.
When he was at home before, he was always alone, with no other family members playing with him, considering he was seen as a waste in others’ eyes.
So, there were many things at home that he didn’t know about.
Besides, he wasn’t interested, or else, even as a waste, he could have known more by relying on his father, the Patriarch.
As for Xiong Tu, not long after leaving town, his previously lively spirit suddenly vanished, returning to an elderly state.
That earlier look was deliberate, intended for outsiders to see.
To warn outsiders not to have any improper thoughts towards their Xiong family, because he still had plenty of vitality.
Such a warning from an Innate Powerhouse was something any family, besides the Hong family, would take seriously.
Otherwise, retaliation from an Innate Powerhouse would be disastrous.
"Grandfather, why don’t we go back?" Xiong Haitao, truthfully, was quite worried about Xiong Tu’s health.
Xiong Tu shook his head and continued walking.
Despite his appearance, he moved at a pretty decent pace.
Lin Xi actually wanted to help. Logically and ethically, he had the reason to.
First, he was the grandfather of his brother, and besides, he didn’t want to see the Xiong family wiped out in a few more years.
Second, Xiong Ba was indeed very courteous earlier.
The value of that five-hundred-year-old ginseng was something he was more aware of than anyone.
It could even have some effect on him.
Outside, it was almost impossible to find even a hundred-year-old ginseng.
And the already crafted weaponry, although he hadn’t seen it, based on Xiong Ba’s simple descriptions, he knew its value was immeasurable.
So, extending Xiong Tu’s life as much as possible was justifiable.
However, this wasn’t an urgent matter.
Although Xiong Tu now looked like he could collapse any moment, he knew that despite this, he wouldn’t just fall.
He was Innate, after all!
And from the scene in the meeting hall earlier, it was clear that once he erupted, he was still very powerful.
At the same time, Lin Xi could see that he had at least five more years of life.
Now he was curious about what exactly Xiong Tu was taking them to capture.
From Xiong Ba’s expression earlier, it was definitely something very important!
Before long, they arrived at the foot of a mountain, a mountain with only one path up, surrounded by sheer stone cliffs that were impossible for anyone to climb barring the ability to fly.
On the mountain were countless towering trees!
"Isn’t this our Ginseng Mountain?" Xiong Haitao’s face showed confusion, surprised as he spoke.
