Di Jiu also sensed that Cao Xi had a good feeling towards him, he knew exactly what Cao Xi’s words meant and said without hesitation, “Sister Cao, a few friends, I wish to go to the Heavenly Desolate Area with you to try my luck.”
Cao Xie immediately said, “By saying this, I am agreeing to bring you along.”
After saying that, Cao Xie looked at her three remaining companions, “I intend to bring him along to the Heavenly Desolate Region, what do you guys think?”
“I agree with Sister Cao’s opinion. ” the woman sitting next to Cao Xie immediately said with a smile, she had a round face and immediately showed two dimples when she smiled.
The big man and the small fat youth also said without hesitation, “We also agree.”
Di Jiu hurriedly stood up and cupped his fist and said, “Thank you all, my name is Di Jiu, and I am not capable of anything, but I can treat some minor ailments and pains.”
Cao Xie laughed and said, “Di Jiu, you should know that being able to heal is very popular in the Heavenly Wasteland. If you are qualified to come into contact with the martial arts in the future, plus you know a bit of medicine, everyone would be willing to team up with you. Let me introduce myself. My name is Cao Xi, an orphan who has been looking for a bite to eat at the edge of the Skywaste District. This big guy, we’ll call him Da Mao, he fights like a spear and never backs down. This little fatty, nicknamed Little Anhou.
There is also Cui Yuehe beside me, the four of us have been in the Desolate Edge City for several years, only now that good things are getting scarce in the Desolate Edge City, it is getting tougher and tougher for us to survive. This time, we have been thinking about entering the Heavenly Desolate Zone for a long time. Di Jiu, the possibility of getting killed by entering the Sky Desolate Zone is the majority, so you should think about it.”
Di Jiu immediately said, “When I came here, I decided to go to the Sky Desolate Zone, as for life and death, that is not something I can influence. I work hard to pursue what I want and need, it’s my fortune if I survive, and in case I don’t get out of the Heavenly Desolate Zone, that’s my fate too.”
“Good, I appreciate this kind of mentality of Brother Di Jiu, let’s go, let’s go to Tianhuang City now.” Da Mao clapped his hands and shouted.
……
By the time Di Jiu and Cao Xi and the four of them headed to Tianhuang City, Jinhai had already been turned over several times without any sign of Di Jiu’s whereabouts.
At this point, someone had already realized that Di Jiu had either been taken out by someone, or he knew something was wrong and hid himself.
The possibility of being killed off by someone should not be high, after all, when Di Jiu was exposed, he had long since disappeared, and even if others wanted to kill Di Jiu, they would not be so quick. Since Di Jiu was unharmed, the only possibility was that Di Jiu knew that danger was coming and should have disguised himself.
Almost all the surveillance in Jinhai City was mobilised and watched repeatedly. Sometimes, the little people really mean nothing in front of the big powers.
One could not say that Di Jiu had done a bad job, nor could one say that Di Jiu had not thought it through. But even so, everything about him was still laid out in front of the world’s multiple bigwigs.
After Di Jiu left Jinhai Hospital, he went around and bought a lot of bits and pieces. These included various glues, paints and beards. Everything indicated that Di Jiu should have been disguised.
Subsequently, more things came out from the investigation. Not only did Di Jiu perform a golden needle to save a poisoned martial artist in the Heavenly Desolate District, he also saved a terminally ill young man. Because this terminally ill youth’s symptoms were the same condition as the Zeng family’s Zeng Yi-xun, the Zeng family invited the terminally ill youth’s family to the Zeng family compound, where they were fed with good food and drink.
The purpose was naturally to find out the whereabouts of Di Jiu.
Then Pang Feihe was exposed, as Di Jiu was invited by Pang Feihe. The Zeng family would not press Pang Feihe for anything, but those bigwigs would not spoil Pang Feihe in order to find Di Jiu.
Not to mention that Pang Feihe would not risk life and death to hide Di Jiu’s whereabouts, even if Pang Feihe wanted to hide it, he could not. Soon these bigwigs knew where Di Jiu’s target was, the Heavenly Desolate District.
But no one thought that Di Jiu had left Jinhai so quickly. Since Di Jiu had disguised himself, it meant that he was hiding somewhere in Jinhai for the time being.
A second major search began in Jinhai City, but there were also some cautious bigwigs who began to investigate secretly in Tianhuang City.
……
At the same time, on the open ground outside Tianhuang City, carts of goods were ready and many martial arts squads were preparing to leave.
Di Jiu and the four Cao Xie were lucky enough to be chosen by the Gathering Rain squad, which had chosen twenty-seven helpers this time and offered a very high price.
However, Di Jiu and the five of them were not in it for the money, but to enter the Heavenly Desolate Region.
The helpers selected by the Martial Path Squad were usually strong and sturdy men, such as Cao Xi’s five, I am afraid that only Da Mao was qualified to be selected. The main reason why Cao Xi’s five were selected was because Cao Xi and the others had a very good reputation in Tianhuang City.
Even though they had two women, they did not take less than the strong men each time. What’s more, it wasn’t the first time they had helped the martial arts squad carry things, and they had returned unharmed every time. This showed that they had very good luck.
Luck was a very important point for the Martial Path Squad to enter the Heavenly Desolate Area. So Cao Xie and the others were chosen by the Gathering Rain squad as they wished.
After spending the night outside the Heavenly Desolation City, the various Martial Dao squads triggered off early the next morning just after dawn.
The caravan was vast on the way, and Di Jiu followed Cao Xi and the others just in the middle of the caravan, unable to even see the head or the tail at a glance.
It was only after sitting in the car for a whole day and night that the car stopped at a huge square.
All the cars began to unload, and the cars of the Gathering Rain squad also began to unload. Di Jiu followed Cao Xie and the four of them jumped out of the car to help unload the goods.
Di Jiu soon noticed that the square was not level, with potholes and the fence in the distance was broken and seemed to have been chewed by dogs.
Di Jiu moved down a box of nutrient solution and asked in a small voice, “Sister Cao, why does this square look so shabby?”
Before Cao Xie could answer, Xiao Anhou on the other side said, “Don’t look at this place as being empty and boundless, and there aren’t any woods, but it’s actually very dangerous. The ferocious beasts in the Heavenly Desolate Zone sometimes rush to this place in groups, and unlucky squads will be met by these ferocious beasts before they have time to unload their goods. Once we meet these beasts, we are dead for sure, and even martial arts squads sometimes suffer heavy losses. Look at the potholes on the ground, apart from being torn out by the ferocious beasts, they were made by the fight.”
Di Jiu subconsciously looked at Tianhuang City, it was only a day and a night’s journey away, which didn’t seem too far, what if the ferocious beasts rushed into Tianhuang City?
Seeming to see Di Jiu’s meaning, Xiao An Hou heatedly smiled, “Ah Jiu, you don’t have to worry about these vicious beasts rushing into the Heavenly Desolate City. There are several laser walls outside of the Sky Desolate City, once the ferocious beasts rush through, it would be a death wish. These vicious beasts aren’t fools either, they won’t go looking for death.”
So that was the case, Di Jiu secretly sighed, he had always lived in a small place, but he had never heard of these things. He knew about the Heavenly Desolate Area, but it was so fierce and dangerous that he had no concept of it at all.
Boxes of medicine, tents, dry food, all kinds of guns and ammunition were unloaded from the big trucks. When Di Jiu saw that Cao Xie had to pick up something like two hundred pounds, he secretly doubted whether he could lift it.
Seeing that Di Jiu also intended to pick up two hundred pounds, Da Mao stopped Di Jiu, “Ah Jiu, you haven’t practiced, you look fine and tender, you get a little less, I’ll do the extra.”
As he spoke, he carried over a large box beside Di Jiu.
Cao Xi took the initiative and said, “There are five of us, and our share is about a thousand pounds. It’s your first time here, so you can carry a little less and let Da Mao help you with some.”
Di Jiu shook his head and carried the box that Da Mao had carried over back again, “I should be okay, if I can’t, I’ll ask Brother Da Mao to help out again.”
Neither of the two women had burdened Da Mao with their things, and Di Jiu didn’t want to let Da Mao help him before he had even tried it.
