Chapter 1309: Chapter 1309
Sun Daren cast the rod, and the fish line drilled into another time-space crack. In the previous time-space crack, his divine sense perception range was about ten zhang — the limitation of his divine sense was already quite severe. In the Eight Desolates World, even without using his domain, the range would be over a hundred li.
In this time-space crack, the range was only seven zhang. Owen Bertram inferred from this that the dangers of time-space cracks encountered on the Road of Despair might also vary in the degree of severity.
Within the seven-zhang perception range, it was empty. Sun Daren manipulated the fish line to drift in it. After several times, he sensed something flickering at the edge of his perception. He immediately controlled the fish line and chased after it.
Joel George and Oliver saw that the newcomer finally "calmed down" and breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, it was the luck of a newcomer. The two began to fish seriously, especially Joel George. He had to gain something today, otherwise, it would seem like he was bragging in front of a newcomer.
Moreover, Oliver was even more pressured because he hadn’t gotten anything for six days. If he still didn’t get anything today, his wallet would hit rock bottom, and he would have no idea where to get money for dinner and a hotel stay.
This was actually the true situation for most Treasure Fishers, just like the gold prospectors in Sun Daren’s previous life. People only saw the legends of making a fortune overnight, but no one promoted those who died poor and hungry.
As they concentrated, they suddenly sensed movement next to them. They turned their heads to see the newcomer’s fish line straighten again, and then he pulled out a piece of black wood carved with half a human face!
It was a Four Mountains Divine Creation.
"Lucky streak!" Oliver envied so much his eyeballs turned red. It was so unfair. He looked at his own fish line, which was still motionless, and he was almost mad enough to stomp on his fishing rod.
Joel George found it unbelievable, "Tell me honestly, did you make a special offering to My God before fishing for treasure?" Otherwise, there was no explanation for the newcomer’s good luck.
Sun Daren chuckled secretly – their Evil God had no power to influence these chaotic time-space layers. Meanwhile, Owen Bertram had also grasped a certain pattern: the stronger the limitation on divine sense, the higher the treasure level. He cast his rod again, and in about ten minutes, he obtained the third treasure.
Oliver and Joel George looked at each other, hesitated no more, and moved their butts closer to Sun Daren, trying to cling to his luck! Oliver said to Joel George, "There goes our bottle of wine for today!"
At the moment, National Master had disguised herself as a Sunset Country noblewoman, with Yutomi Jūrō as her attendant. The National Master also used her Divine Skills to transform the two of them into Red Clan barbarians.
Sang Island was rich in gold and silver, so National Master had spent a lot of gold coins to hire dozens of servants, from coachmen to cooks. If she wanted to disguise herself as a noble, she had to do the full set. Actually, it was because National Master had always lived a pampered life and was used to this sort of lifestyle.
This noble entourage made their way to the vicinity of the Road of Despair, and they also chose to rest and gather information in the small town. The upscale hotel they checked into was only 200 zhang away from Sun Daren in a straight line.
Yutomi Jūrō opened the Square Ring and communicated with others through the bronze mirror. He then reported to National Master, "Master, including us, there are now five people participating in this Adventure. They are all near the Road of Despair, and they are willing to join our team and share information with us."
National Master understood in her heart: these people must have come from other worlds. They were willing to join her team probably because of their insufficient strength. They could travel between worlds through the Da Luo World Gate, but such travels came at a cost, and high-level powerhouses couldn’t make it through.
"What information do they have?"
Yutomi Jūrō said, "In order to reach the end of the Road of Despair, one must walk on that road and keep going! Those four people had pooled together a sufficient price in exchange for an important clue from the Da Luo World Gate. They told me that without this clue, it would be impossible to complete this Adventure. They used this as a condition to join us. If Master is willing to accept them, I will negotiate with them now and exchange for this clue."
National Master asked, "Can you exchange this clue?"
Yutomi Jūrō said with shame, "I’m sorry to disappoint you, Master. I can’t put together the price."
National Master nodded, "This National Master allows it."
Yutomi Jūrō was overjoyed and immediately went to communicate again. For National Master, she had never intended to give the Heaven Breaking Saw to the Da Luo World Gate from the beginning. So, regardless of what demands those four people made for the final reward using this "clue," National Master could actually agree, because this Adventure would be a failure as long as she didn’t hand over the Heaven Breaking Saw.
If those four people resist in the end, National Master would show no mercy. The only concern was that it might involve Yutomi Jūrō. If he was punished, National Master would compensate him with various cultivation resources and opportunities. If he died because of this... the National Master would take care of his family, ensuring another Sixth Great Realm appears among his descendants.
In a short time, Yutomi Jūrō returned. He had negotiated with the other side, and their demands were very reasonable. Both parties reached an agreement and shared the "clue."
"The key to safely pass the Road of Despair is to obtain a special Command Token, which is lost in the temporal chaos layer of the Road of Despair and can currently be obtained through treasure fishing."
