The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 172 — City of Noula : Disease Outbreaks (9)
There was the voice of someone who answered Lian Haocun's words, “We didn't follow you, just happened to find you behaving suspiciously. What are you guys doing here?”
That voice really sounded familiar in Lian Huanran's ears, Long Yuan, Yun Shao as well as Qian Wenwu. That was the voice of Guan Hong who should now be investigating in Noula City!
Lian Huanran turned his head towards the source of the voice, and instantly found Guan Hong with the other three people. Long Yuan made sure it was Guan Hong, and automatically asked, “Where are the two of them who contracted the disease?'”
“They've been put in a safe place. You haven't answered my question, what are you doing here?” Reply Guan Hong while staring intently at Lian Haocun.
Lian Huanran did not particularly like Guan Hong's tone when speaking, because from his tone alone, Lian Huanran could feel Guan Hong's arrogance and arrogance, it was as if he was an important and authoritative person.
So, Lian Huanran replied to Guan Hong regardless of the identity of the person as his senior, “You too, what are you doing here?”
It was a bit childish indeed, but somehow neither Yun Shao nor Long Yuan felt that what Lian Huanran was doing was not a bad thing. Although it was possible, after completing this mission, Guan Hong was looking for them for revenge.
“We as seniors certainly have to pay attention to our juniors right? Otherwise, they may create various unnecessary problems, thus troublesome us.” Guan Hong replied smoothly, which made Lian Haocun want to smile thinly, yes, the reason he had noticed from the beginning, if Guan Hong and his group were following them. Fortunately, Lian Haocun managed to keep her expression cool and indifferent.
“What do we do, what does this have to do with you? We also won't make any trouble, so you don't have to watch over us like this!” Reply Lian Huanran in a high tone, he was really uncomfortable with such an action. After all, the feeling of being restrained and supervised, was never pleasant for the freedom-loving Lian Huanran.
“No need like this, Huanran, just let them follow us.” Lian Haocun said calmly, but his words gave off the impression of indifference. Previously for needing information, Lian Haocun was 'polite' to Guan Hong, but now it was different.
Then, unexpectedly, Lian Haocun hit the rock hard! Instantly, the solid-looking stone wall, shattered into fragments of stone. Lian Huanran blinked his eyes many times, then clapped his hands for no reason.
Then, they entered the cave with a few additional people. Lian Haocun walked at the very front, while Guan Hong and his group walked at the very back. After the wall was torn down, there was a pitch-black hallway that had a sinister impression.
During the trip, Lian Huanran felt uncomfortable, and quite scared, but she covered it with a jolly attitude. Although, Lian Haocun was certainly aware of the discomfort and fear of his twin brother, Lian Haocun felt that Lian Huanran had to face her own fears, so he just let her be while watching the situation inside the cave passage.
Despite thinking like that, Lian Haocun still used his fire element to illuminate the cave passage. Lian Huanran looked at the blazing flames in Lian Haocun's hands, and felt Lian Haocun's concern for her. Instantly, his heart felt as warm as the temperature of the cave back then.
With a harmonious atmosphere, Lian Haocun and his group walked straight ahead. The trip was also accompanied by Lian Huanran's jokes and laughter with the others. Only Guan Hong and his group had a gloomy atmosphere, which was in stark contrast to the atmosphere around Lian Haocun's group.
Without feeling it, they had been walking for five minutes, however, everything seemed normal, as if it was just an ordinary dark cave passage. However, even more bizarrely, Qian Wenwu continuously felt uneasy, worry and uneasiness gnawing at him. As if, something bad awaits them in the future.
Sure enough, not long after, Lian Haocun could see a swarm of tiny worms coming out of the ground, and heading towards them! It seemed, because the size of the worm was too small, both Lian Haocun and the others, did not know the existence of the worm.
Guan Hong looked at the swarm of worms that numbered around a hundred thousand, and felt a little nauseous and disgusted. The eight of them were surrounded by a swarm of little worms, from top, bottom, front, back, even to their side!
