Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert
Chapter 384 Cooperation
The Vulture Gang's meeting building is located in the core area of the gang, surrounded by towering walls, making it look particularly solemn.
The exterior walls of the pavilion are made of dark stone, with lifelike vulture patterns carved on the surface, symbolizing the majesty of the Vulture Gang.
On both sides of the door, there was a pair of burly guards, holding heavy weapons in their hands, with cold eyes, watching everything around them vigilantly.
There is a different world inside the pavilion. In the spacious hall, the elders sit around a huge ebony round table.
On the table was a thick piece of parchment, densely packed with records of the gang's affairs.
The elders were dressed differently, revealing their respective identities and status.
One of the elders was thin, old, and had white hair. He wore a dark blue robe embroidered with a golden vulture pattern, looking solemn and majestic.
His eyes were bright and sometimes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something important.
The other elder looked even more sturdy. His face was like iron, with a ruthless look between his brows. He wore a black battle robe and had a sharp dagger hanging from his waist, giving people the feeling that he was ready to attack at any time.
He was having an intense discussion with the elders beside him about the future of the gang.
Behind this group of elders, there are some young servants, all of whom look respectful and are ready to respond to the elders' instructions at any time.
A tense atmosphere permeated the entire hall, with the elders' discussions rising and falling, and occasional low curses audible.
At this moment, a servant hurried in, his face pale and looking extremely flustered.
He walked to the round table, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. Then he saluted respectfully to the elders and said in a trembling voice: "Dear elders, I have something important to report!"
The hall fell silent in an instant, all eyes were focused on the servants, and the elders revealed a hint of uneasiness in their expressions, as if they had a premonition of some bad news.
"Hurry up and speak!" The thin old elder spoke first, his voice low but with a hint of anxiety.
"I just received news that the old lady and the bald strong man were attacked and killed!"
The servant's voice was trembling, and before he finished speaking, the whole hall exploded.
“What?!” The black-robed elder stood up suddenly, his face twisted and furious. He couldn’t help but ask angrily, “Who is so bold as to attack our Vulture Gang?!”
"This is definitely a provocation to our Vulture Gang!"
Another elder slammed the table angrily, his voice like thunder, and he seemed extremely excited, and shouted:
"We must find out the truth immediately and not let the murderer go unpunished!"
"The old lady and the bald strong man are both important figures in our gang. Their deaths will never be tolerated!"
The thin elder's voice was steady, but it revealed an undisguised anger, and he said coldly: "We must unite all forces to track down the whereabouts of the murderer!"
"I suspect that Blood Wolf is behind this!"
The black-robed elder's voice was like a sharp blade, pointing directly at the Blood Wolf Society, gritting his teeth and saying, "They have always been wary of us, and want to take this opportunity to weaken our power!"
"This attack has something to do with them!"
"How despicable!" Another elder gritted his teeth, his face full of anger, and said coldly: "We will make them pay the price!"
"But before that, we need to gather all the gang members immediately and conduct a comprehensive investigation!"
The thin elder continued, "At the same time, send out an elite team to investigate the internal information of the Blood Wolf Society!"
"Okay! It's decided!" The black-robed elder roared, saying: We must let them know that the Vulture Gang is not to be trifled with!"
A cruel smile appeared on the elder's face.
Just then, another servant came in hurriedly.
A layer of cold sweat oozed out of his forehead, and he said anxiously: "Dear elders, several mysterious guests came outside, and they want to see the gang leader!"
"Who is it?" The thin elder frowned, feeling vaguely uneasy.
"They claim to be from the Chamber of Commerce in the north, and seem to have some connection with the men in black who attacked us." The servant answered cautiously, afraid of missing any details.
"Let them in!" The black-robed elder spoke in a low voice, with a sinister light flashing in his eyes. He said coldly, "Perhaps they can provide us with some useful clues."
The elders nodded one after another, and a tense atmosphere spread in the hall.
The guard at the door received the order and quickly opened the door. Several guests dressed in gorgeous robes slowly walked into the hall, bringing with them a unique atmosphere.
"Elders, we are here to help you."
The leading guest smiled slightly, with a cunning gleam in his eyes, and said with a smile: "We know some inside information about the man in black and your losses."
Several mysterious guests slowly walked into the hall, and a strange smell filled the air.
There were five of them in total, all tall and dignified, standing out from the crowd.
Everyone's clothes are extremely gorgeous and colorful, as if declaring their identity and status.
The leading guest was a young woman with long hair cascading down her shoulders. Her black hair gleamed slightly in the candlelight.
Her face is delicate, her facial features are as distinct as sculptures, and her eyes are deep and bright, revealing a sense of intelligence.
She was wearing a purple robe embroidered with silver patterns, like stars in the night sky, exuding a hint of mystery. She had a golden belt tied around her waist, making her look particularly elegant.
Following closely behind was a middle-aged man with a sturdy build and ruddy complexion, giving people a calm feeling.
He had a thick beard on his face, and his eyes were cunning and shrewd. He wore a dark green robe embroidered with golden dragon patterns, which showed his extraordinary status.
The third one was a thin young man with a delicate face and a hint of mischief in his eyes.
He was wearing a blue short robe embroidered with white cloud patterns, which made him look smart and elegant.
He wore several silver bracelets on his wrists, which swayed gently with his movements, making crisp sounds, as if adding a bit of liveliness to him.
The fourth one is an elderly man with white hair and wrinkles on his face, showing his vicissitudes and wisdom.
He was wearing a grey robe embroidered with simple patterns. It looked plain and simple, yet revealed a heavy bearing.
He held a wooden fan in his hand and waved it gently, as if to dispel the heat for himself.
The last one is a strong woman with clear muscle lines, giving people a strong sense of power.
Her hair was cut short, revealing her smooth neck, and her face was resolute, revealing an indomitable spirit.
She was wearing a black battle robe covered with tiny golden patterns, which made her look particularly majestic. A sharp dagger hung from her waist, as if she was ready to strike at any time.
The elders' eyes moved between the five guests, secretly trying to figure out their purpose.
The skinny old elder spoke first, with a cautious tone, and asked:
"You claim to be from the Northern Chamber of Commerce. Why did you come to my Vulture Gang? You want to help us catch the man in black. What's your reason?"
The young woman smiled slightly, her eyes firm: "Our Chamber of Commerce has an irreconcilable hatred with the men in black."
"A few months ago, they attacked our caravan, stole a large amount of goods, and ruthlessly killed our companions."
"We will never tolerate such behavior. What they did has touched our bottom line."
"So, we hope to join forces with the Vulture Gang to fight against the men in black."
The middle-aged man continued, his tone revealing a sense of determination and coldness, and he slowly said: "We believe that only by uniting together can we completely eradicate these despicable enemies."
"I understand your intention, but we need more evidence and intelligence."
The thin elder's eyes flashed with shrewdness, and he continued to ask, "Do you have any specific plans?"
The young woman nodded slightly, her expression becoming serious: "We have already got some clues about the man in black."
"They are active in an abandoned mine outside the city, and a group of new members have recently joined. We can send people to investigate and obtain more intelligence."
The black-robed elder showed a hint of interest on his face. After a moment's silence, he said, "If you can provide solid evidence, we can consider cooperating with you."
"However, our strength should not be underestimated. If you conceal anything, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."
"We have nothing to hide!" The old man responded immediately, his eyes firm, and he spoke slowly: "We need your strength to fight against the men in black together. This is not only for you, but also for ourselves."
The atmosphere in the hall became increasingly tense. The elders exchanged glances with each other, as if they were communicating silently.
Finally, the thin elder nodded slowly: "Okay, we are willing to cooperate with you."
"But before that, we need you to show us your sincerity."
The young woman smiled slightly and said slowly: "We are willing to take all the risks and will never let you down."
At this moment, the black-robed elder suddenly interrupted and said, "In this case, why don't we send a team to investigate the mine you mentioned?"
"You can come along and make sure we are not discovered by the men in black."
"That's a good idea!" The thin elder agreed. "We must act as soon as possible and not give the enemy a chance to breathe."
The young woman and the other members of the Chamber of Commerce looked at each other and then nodded in agreement.
The five Chamber of Commerce members and the elders of the Vulture Gang began to discuss the specific action plan, and the atmosphere in the entire hall gradually became tense and full of expectations.
And on the other side.
Jiang Qiong was leading a group of prisoners and escaping from the cell through the teleportation array.
The light of the teleportation array flickered, as bright as the stars, instantly engulfing their figures. As a dizzy feeling came over them,
Jiang Qiong felt a black screen before her eyes, as if she was torn apart by an invisible force. When she regained her footing, the scene around her made her heart sink.
He looked around and found that he and the prisoners had been teleported to a dark and damp swamp.
The air here was filled with a foul smell, and the damp soil made a "crunching" sound under their feet, as if it would swallow them up at any time.
It was surrounded by towering ancient trees, whose trunks were twisted like the arms of a monster. The branches and leaves were intertwined, blocking out the sun. The faint light that shone through the gaps made the entire swamp look even more eerie.
"Hurry! Follow me!"
Jiang Qiong gave orders in a low voice, secretly alert in his heart.
Ze is not safe. Although the teleportation array allowed them to escape from the cell, it also put them in unknown danger.
As he spoke, Jiang Qiong looked around and found some black shadows floating on the water not far away. They were aquatic plants unique to swamps, swaying gently with the waves, as if tempting them to get closer.
However, Jiang Qiong did not relax his vigilance. At this moment, he heard a low gurgling sound, as if some creature was lurking under the water.
His heart suddenly tightened, and when he looked up, he saw a few ripples on the water.
Then a huge figure slowly emerged from the water.
It was a monster of gigantic size, its body covered in slimy mud, its eyes like two blood-red lanterns, emitting a fierce light.
"Run!" Jiang Qiong shouted, turned around and ran to the other side of the swamp. Following his lead, the prisoners tried desperately to keep up.
As Jiang Qiong was fleeing, he felt anxious. If they were caught by the monster, their escape would be meaningless.
He tried to speed up, but the mud under his feet was like sticky paste, slowing down his speed. The monster behind him also started to speed up and catch up, making low roars, as if announcing that its prey was about to be captured.
"Don't look behind you, quick!"
Jiang Qiong continued to encourage the prisoners behind him. Although there was uneasiness in his voice, given the current situation, the only way to escape was to stay calm.
As his thoughts raced, Jiang Qiong searched the swamp for a possible way out.
Suddenly, he noticed a piece of high ground ahead, the only dry place in the swamp.
"There! Go!"
Jiang Qiong pointed to the high ground and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.
The prisoners obeyed the command and ran desperately towards the high ground despite their heavy steps.
Just as they were about to reach the high ground, the monster behind them was approaching. Its huge claws slashed on the water, splashing water with a strong fishy smell.
"Hurry! Hurry!" Jiang Qiong's voice was almost a roar. Seeing that the monster's claws were about to fall, he jumped up with all his strength and finally jumped to the high ground at the last moment.
The prisoners behind him also followed and barely avoided the monster's attack.
However, Jiang Qiong did not let down his guard.
Escaping from the swamp is only temporary safety, the monsters will not give up easily.
He turned around and saw the monster wandering on the edge of the high ground. Its huge body looked extremely ferocious on the water. Its blood-red eyes stared at them, as if looking for a breakthrough.
"We can't stop, we have to keep moving forward!" Jiang Qiong said firmly, secretly thinking about how to escape from the swamp. (End of this chapter)
