Chapter 853 Ling Shu Cave
After drinking a bottle of water, Zhou Meng felt much better.
He quickened his pace and caught up with Lao Jiu.
"Ninth Brother, what exactly is going on?"
"How did you end up with Chang Weijie and his gang... um, hanging out with them?"
Old Nine glanced at him sideways and said slowly, "In the end, isn't this all because you forced this out?"
Zhou Meng gave an awkward smile.
It turns out that after leaving in a huff, Lao Jiu and Ji Zhicheng, each leading their own legions, headed west.
They soon encountered Chang Weijie, and the two sides even fought fiercely several times.
However, the environment in western Tay Son province is far worse than in other places.
Although the area was not flooded after the apocalypse, it was located on higher ground.
However, it is prone to earthquakes, which has led to the formation of a continuous series of volcanoes.
Moreover, the weather is extremely harsh, with no rain for most of the year, and it is extremely arid!
In addition, countless ferocious monsters roam the mountains!
In order to survive better, Lao Jiu eventually sat down with Chang Weijie and others to negotiate and formed an alliance!
That's it!
Zhou Meng suddenly realized what was happening and instinctively looked at Chang Weijie, who was not far away.
Chang Weijie turned his head and looked at Zhou Meng with a half-smile.
"Old Zhou, how was your research that you stole from me back then?"
Zhou Meng immediately looked embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.
Back in the day, he, Chang Weijie, and Liu Chao were all leaders of their respective factions.
Their relationship with each other is still quite good.
However, in order to obtain Chang Weijie's research results, he secretly contacted the Brotherhood with Liu Chao and launched a sneak attack on Chang Weijie!
Ultimately, Chang Weijie's forces were destroyed, and he was forced to flee.
His research achievements also ended up in the hands of Zhou Meng and Liu Chao.
The combined superpower that Zhou Meng and Liu Chao used in their last battle against Su Chen was invented by Chang Weijie.
"Of course, that's all in the past. For Lao Jiu's sake, I can let it go."
Chang Weijie said slowly and deliberately,
"But if you dare to do that again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Zhou Meng nodded quickly.
The group quickly arrived at the parked cars, got into their vehicles, and continued driving forward.
Zhou Meng rode in the same car with Lao Jiu, who then introduced him to the current power situation in the area.
To escape the Brotherhood's pursuit, Chang Weijie had no choice but to flee to the western part of Xishan Province.
Despite the harsh climate, there are still quite a few people living here.
Relying on his own strength, Chang Weijie gathered other survivors and formed an organization called Ling Shu Cave.
But unlike other forces, he did not recruit evolved individuals; he recruited only those with superpowers!
Later, Chang Weijie discovered a secret realm and reaped many benefits from it.
Since then, Ling Shu Cave has been in charge of this western region.
Later, other leaders of various factions, such as Ma Ming and Ye Zhaohui, were also no match for the Brotherhood.
After their defeat, they fled to the western volcano.
Unlike the ruthless Brotherhood, Chang Weijie did not exterminate them, but instead allowed them to remain in the Western Volcano.
The two sides lived in peace until Lao Jiu, Zhou Meng and others arrived!
After understanding what had happened, Zhou Meng cautiously said,
"Ninth Brother, are you planning to stay here forever?"
"What, you want me to help you get revenge?"
As Lao Jiu drove, he glanced sideways at Zhou Meng.
"Of course I didn't mean that..."
Zhou Meng touched his nose and explained,
"Su Chen killed the guild leader and then annexed the Brotherhood. We can't just sit idly by and watch him act so arrogantly!"
Just then, the car turned off the highway and drove along a country road, quickly arriving at the foot of a large mountain.
There was a cave at the foot of the mountain. After driving the car in, Zhou Meng discovered that there was a hidden world inside.
It appears that an earth-elemental ability user modified the cave.
There was a large open space at the entrance of the cave, with rows of cars parked there.
Further inside was a spacious passageway, with candle-like lights burning on both sides.
On both sides of the passage, there are countless small openings, which look like living quarters.
After everyone parked the car, Lao Jiu led Zhou Meng and the others to a relatively spacious stone cave.
Inside the cave were stones resembling tables and chairs. Lao Jiu invited Zhou Meng to sit down.
"To tell you the truth, I've already discussed it with Chang Weijie and the others."
"Our original plan was to organize manpower and launch a counterattack on Longcheng after a period of time."
Upon hearing Lao Jiu's words, Zhou Meng was first startled, then breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I've already joined.
Otherwise, if he were to be attacked from both sides by Lao Jiu and the Watchers Alliance, he would only face certain death!
"The living environment here in the west is really too harsh."
Old Nine sighed.
The climate here is extremely hot and the environment is harsh.
Both daily necessities and food are in extremely short supply.
The only advantage is that the area has abundant energy, and there are even several raw stone mines.
That is why Chang Weijie and his group, who arrived here early, are extremely powerful.
They have basically reached D+ combat power!
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's quickly gather our forces and prepare to counterattack Dragon City!"
Zhou Meng was overjoyed and urged him on.
"No hurries?"
Old Nine rolled his eyes at him and said indifferently,
"Brother Jie is still making final preparations!"
"what to prepare?"
"This is top secret, I can't tell you."
Old Nine shrugged and smiled confidently.
"But what is certain is that as long as he is well prepared and gathers his strength to attack."
"Don't even mention the Watchmen, even if you add the existing Brotherhood, they still wouldn't be a match for him!"
Hearing this, Zhou Meng was somewhat skeptical.
But then he thought again, Chang Weijie is an extremely intelligent man who has even developed a combined superpower. He might actually have some powerful backup plan!
Although Zhou Meng was extremely curious, he also knew the answer.
Given his status, there's absolutely no way Lao Jiu would tell him that!
"Okay, then I hope Brother Jie can finish preparing soon!"
……
The countryside in Central Province.
Su Chen sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, having already fully unleashed his Qi Gathering Technique.
He was like a whirlpool in the water, continuously absorbing the energy from the surrounding area into his body.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Chen finally opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.
He glanced at the system panel and saw that the progress bar for the next upgrade had reached 99%.
It seems that once I absorb today's supply of raw gems, I will be able to strengthen myself.
"Master, you've finished your cultivation!"
Hearing the noise, Mengqi quickly jumped over.
"Yes."
Su Chen smiled slightly and tossed over a few raw stones.
Mengqi leaped up with all her might, and in mid-air, she swallowed all the raw stones into her mouth!
"Thank you, Master!"
"Alright, protect me for a while longer, I'm going to absorb the primal stone."
Su Chen gave the instructions with a smile.
