Dragon's Origin

“Actually, we did discover something.” It was Wang Sheng who spoke.

As soon as Wang Sheng spoke, Song Yan and Song Laoyu's surprised gazes focused directly on Wang Sheng. The look in Song Yan's eyes, as if betrayed by her closest person, filled with disbelief and heartbreak, made Wang Sheng's heart flutter for a moment.

This valiant woman's eyes were simply eloquent, capable of conversation without uttering a word. Wang Sheng sometimes couldn't resist the temptation of her spirit.

However, Wang Sheng didn't feel he had betrayed anyone. He moved slightly closer to Song Yan, about to explain, but Song Yan took a step back in disgust.

“Believe me, twenty people will definitely be more efficient than two.” Wang Sheng smiled and shook his head, giving Song Yan an explanation.

This explanation made Song Yan's expression slightly better, but only slightly. Still, Song Yan bit her lip and snorted coldly, a charming expression that Wang Sheng was completely captivated by.

“Ahem, the young master-in-law is right, twenty people will definitely be faster than two.” Seeing Wang Sheng loosen his stance, Song Zhiming immediately seized the opportunity, smiling as he said, “We're all family, why distinguish between each other?”

“Okay, Da Ming, let's go over there and discuss it.” Wang Sheng nodded and called out to Song Zhiming, while also scolding the group of Song family members behind Song Zhiming, “What are you standing there for? Want to die? Disperse!”

With Wang Sheng's shout, the Song family members who had just been standing firmly behind Song Zhiming scattered rapidly. They firmly remembered Wang Sheng's first iron rule: in the Thousand Absolutes Land, never do what Wang Sheng forbids.

Song Yan didn't want to go over, but Wang Sheng grabbed her hand without explanation and walked her over there. Song Yan tried to break free a couple of times but couldn't, so she could only follow with a cold face. She knew things were out of control, but that didn't mean she didn't want to participate in the decision-making.

Saying they were going to the side was just finding a relatively spacious place where everyone could sit down and discuss things.

“Actually, we've discovered some anomalies these past two days.” Wang Sheng pulled Song Yan to sit next to him, not forgetting to squeeze her hand heavily twice as a hint. After sitting down, he didn't waste any time and immediately began to introduce the situation.

“Have you noticed that the jungle in this area is much denser than when we first entered?” Wang Sheng immediately pointed out the anomaly: “Everywhere we've passed isn't as lush as this.”

Song Zhiming and another seventh-level master immediately frowned, looking at each other with shock in their eyes.

To be honest, they hadn't really noticed this along the way. But Wang Sheng and Song Yan had discovered it, making them feel a little ashamed.

“It's not strange that you didn't notice, because it's your first time entering the Thousand Absolutes Land.” Wang Sheng saw their thoughts and comforted them, “But I'm different.”

Everyone understood what Wang Sheng meant. Wang Sheng didn't even need to say it; everyone knew that Wang Sheng had been in the Thousand Absolutes Land before, so these anomalies were definitely discovered by Wang Sheng, not Miss Song.

“When did you discover it?” Song Zhiming's focus wasn't on Wang Sheng's ability to discover anomalies, but on when he had discovered them.

“Yes!” Wang Sheng nodded without hesitation.

“Then why didn't you say so earlier?” Song Zhiming couldn't help but roar in a low voice, questioning Wang Sheng's nonchalant attitude.

“Say so earlier? What's the benefit?” Wang Sheng looked at Song Zhiming as if he were an idiot. “Tell you early, are you going to let me hold your hand? Or chat with me and say sweet nothings? If there's no benefit, why should I tell you?”

“I!” Song Zhiming was immediately speechless. Obviously, Wang Sheng told Song Yan because he was planning to woo her. Song Zhiming wasn't a girl; would Wang Sheng hold his rough, calloused hand and say sweet nothings? The thought alone was disgusting.

“Don't tell me you can give me a lot of gold coins.” Wang Sheng gave Song Zhiming a disdainful look. “I'm not bragging, but how much can you give me? Name a number, and I'll give you twice as much. Just don't disturb me and Xiao Yan, okay?”

When Wang Sheng said this, Song Zhiming was actually thinking of giving Wang Sheng gold coins to win him over. But after Wang Sheng finished speaking, Song Zhiming remembered that Wang Sheng's wealth in Worry-Free City was probably more than what he could mobilize in the Song family.

With this in mind, it was only natural that Wang Sheng didn't tell them about the anomaly. It would have been outrageous to tell them. Daring to say that gold coins were more important than a beautiful woman in front of the beauty would definitely mean being single for life.

Faced with Wang Sheng's remarks, Song Zhiming's face turned red, but he couldn't say a word. Fortunately, his companion next to him saw this and spoke up to smooth things over: “Lone Wolf's words were quite good, twenty people will definitely find things faster than two, right?”

“Discuss it properly, isn't that the solution?” Wang Sheng put on a lecturing air. “Always acting like you're undermining your superiors, what, does your Song family like to play this game for no reason? Do you big families always like to do things this way? Do you always have to have a bunch of people die before you realize that some things can actually be discussed?”

The latter words were completely about the overbearing way big families did things, and of course, they also contained a lot of sarcasm. Including Wang Sheng being chased into the Thousand Absolutes Land and arriving at Worry-Free City, all parties discovered that Wang Sheng's side was actually open to discussion.

Being lectured by Wang Sheng pointing at their noses, Song Zhiming and his seventh-level companion couldn't say a word. They had never been so stifled before, but after calming down, they realized how dangerous it was to be on the opposite side of Wang Sheng back then.

If Wang Sheng turned hostile, regardless of whether Wang Sheng was killed or escaped, their group would be trapped in the Thousand Absolutes Land. How would they get out? They weren't arrogant enough to think that they, as newbies entering the Thousand Absolutes Land for the first time, could traverse the Thousand Absolutes Land like Wang Sheng, even turning back was extremely dangerous.

After lecturing Song Zhiming and the other person, Song Yan was happy, and her gaze towards Wang Sheng was somewhat gentler, but she still didn't say a word.

“Alright, alright, let's get down to business.” After lecturing them, Wang Sheng began to steer the topic back to the main point. “Besides the dense jungle, the demonic beasts and insects here are also more active than in other places. This is very abnormal.”

Song Zhiming and the others thought about it, and it seemed like there might actually be such a sign, but what was the significance of it? They immediately asked.

“I don't know!” Wang Sheng shook his head directly. “But there's definitely a problem.”

After saying that, Wang Sheng looked Song Zhiming and the other expert up and down, and couldn't help but ridicule, “Don't tell me you don't know anything, what are you looking for in this circle then?”
