Chapter 588 Everything is in the wine
"Last night, we were all hypnotized by the Nightmare of the Night's hypnotic gas!"
"Then they captured us all and took us to their lair!"
"Thankfully, Boss Su wasn't affected. He tried everything he could to rescue us!"
"If it weren't for Boss Su, we would all have died at the hands of Nightmare of the Night!"
After Zhao Man recounted what had happened, everyone turned to look at Su Chen.
Their eyes were filled with gratitude and admiration!
As Zhao Man said, if it weren't for Su Chen, who didn't abandon them and took great risks to try to rescue them!
They've probably already become food for Nightmare of the Night!
Seeing Su Chen become everyone's savior, Deng Bin, sitting in a corner, couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"That bastard got away with it again!"
"Master Deng, you can't say that."
Bai Jiangbo frowned slightly, somewhat displeased, and said...
"Su Chen saved our lives; he's our savior!"
"Bai Jiangbo, you're a damn opportunist, aren't you?"
"Don't forget, we're in an alliance. How dare you side with outsiders?"
Xu Jiang, who was standing to the side, scolded.
"I'm just telling the truth..."
Bai Jiangbo argued.
"Tell the truth my ass!"
Seeing Xu Jiang and Bai Jiangbo arguing, Huang Cuicui said calmly,
"Alright, everyone, say less. We'll do whatever Leader Deng says."
Deng Bin said with a cold face,
"Su Chen didn't specifically save us; he just did it as a favor!"
"We don't need to, we should thank him especially, understand?"
"understand!"
Xu Jiang responded and glanced at Bai Jiangbo with a hint of smugness.
After Zhao Man finished speaking, everyone dispersed to rest.
Seeing Bai Jiangbo leave, Xu Jiang seized the opportunity and whispered to Deng Bin,
"Master, Bai Jiangbo is a very dishonest fellow!"
"Of course I saw it. Don't worry, I won't let him get away with it."
Deng Bin said coldly,
"I'll find a chance to wipe him out later, and his territory will all be yours!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiang was overjoyed!
The sky quickly darkened.
After discussing it with Su Chen, Zhao Man decided to set up camp in the wild.
Although this place is 20 to 30 kilometers away from the grain depot, and the Nightmare's lair has been destroyed.
But Zhao Man did not let his guard down.
He arranged a large number of sentries, both visible and hidden, ten kilometers away.
They will detect the appearance of Nightmare in time!
The group lit a campfire, and the soldiers from the cookhouse prepared a delicious dinner.
"Boss Su, let's not talk about our past grievances."
"You saved my life this time, so I'll toast you!"
"If you ever need any help in the future, just let me know!"
Zhao Yang held up his wine glass and said solemnly.
He used to look down on Su Chen.
Despite Luo Xiaotian's mediation, Zhao Yang was still plotting how to eliminate Su Chen and take over the Fierce Tiger Gang.
But since Operation Cold War, Su Chen's demonstrated strength has truly impressed Zhao Yang!
This time, in particular, Su Chen did not abandon them, but chose to fight back and saved everyone in the convoy!
This truly convinced Zhao Yang!
He realized that instead of continuing to oppose Su Chen, it would be better to let bygones be bygones!
Su Chen smiled, raised his glass, clinked it with Zhao Yang's, and then drank it all in one gulp!
"And me."
Gao Fei, along with Dang Han and others, also approached, each holding a wine glass.
"This is the second time Boss Su has saved my life!"
"There's nothing to say. Just ask if you need anything in the future."
“It’s all in the wine!”
After Zhao Yang and Gao Fei finished their drinks, other people came over to toast Su Chen.
Even Bai Jiangbo came over with a wine bottle in his hand.
Seeing this, Deng Bin's face grew even more gloomy!
"Boss Su, tell me, is it still possible for us to go back to the grain depot?"
After clinking glasses with Su Chen, Zhao Man asked with a wry smile.
This trip was so arduous, yet I gained nothing.
I'm really not willing to go back like this!
Moreover, he had no way to explain it to Li Kunlin!
Why can't we go back?
Su Chen smiled and asked in return,
"The Nightmare of the Night can only come out at night!"
"All we need to do is return to the grain depot first thing tomorrow morning and fill the trucks with grain before dark!"
After thinking about it, Zhao Manyi realized that it made sense!
"Alright, let's do it your way, Boss Su!"
After a hearty meal and drinks, it was already late at night.
Everyone returned to their respective tents and wagons to rest!
However, Su Chen was not in a hurry to rest.
After saying goodbye to Tong Fei, he rode Meng Qi away from the camp!
In the darkness, Mengqi ran wildly.
Before long, it carried Su Chen to the lake they had visited before!
Night had fallen, and the stars twinkled in the sky.
A bright moon hangs high in the sky.
The bright moonlight shone down on the earth.
Su Chen could clearly see the shimmering lake water rippling continuously.
The reason he came here tonight is very simple.
Since practicing the Qi Gathering Technique, Su Chen's perception of external energy has become much more acute than before.
When he and Xiang Mengmeng surfaced from the bottom of the lake, they happened to sense that the energy around the lake was quite concentrated.
However, they were in a hurry to rescue Zhao Man and the others and did not have time to stop and cultivate.
I'm free tonight, so I can come over and practice for a bit!
"Mengqi, keep an eye on the area. If any monsters approach, remember to let me know."
Su Chen patted Mengqi's head.
"Meow~"
Mengqi nuzzled Su Chen's hand, then happily ran towards the lake.
Su Chen smiled slightly, found a large rock, and sat down cross-legged.
Gathering Qi Technique, activate!
In that instant, Su Chen forgot his true self.
He seemed to become one with the world around him!
A gentle night breeze carried moisture.
A refreshing floral scent.
Soil with an earthy smell.
Su Chen clearly sensed all of this!
He could feel the energy filling the air even more!
Compared to the last time I cultivated, this energy is much more abundant!
With a thought, he transformed into a vortex, continuously absorbing the surrounding energy into his body!
The comfort of absorbing energy from the outside world into his body and using it for his own benefit captivated Su Chen!
After an unknown amount of time, Su Chen suddenly sensed that the energy outside had become extremely thin.
He then stopped the Qi-gathering technique and slowly opened his eyes.
A glint of light flashed in his eyes.
Su Chen glanced at it and immediately looked surprised!
His cultivation just now actually increased his energy by nearly four thousand points!
Be nice.
This is much faster than hunting monsters and absorbing energy cores!
