“Xiaobai! Why are you siding with an outsider?”

Feeling discontent, Ouyang Huxiao glared at Chen Xiaobei in a hostile manner.

“Shixiong! I’m not siding with an outsider! My health has exceeded 600,000! Yet, I can still feel the freezing breeze coming out of the rocks! It’s really hard for me to bear this cold! Or, do you think that the rocks from both sides of the walls are tougher than my health?”

“This…”

Ouyang Huxiao was rendered speechless. Earlier, he was the one who asked Su Xiaoman to channel Ethereal Force to protect her hands. Also, the crowd had already noticed that the rocks near the cliff were extremely fragile. Immediately, they began to back away from they stood.

“Xiaoman is right! This toughness of the rock cannot be compared with her health!”

“That’s right! The extreme cold breeze that the rocks give off prove that their internal structure is completely frozen! Putting more pressure on it would only cause the walls to crumble!”

“Quick… Quick… Quick… Everyone back up… otherwise, the walls might collapse and our mission will fail! Not only that, we might even kill Gang Zi!”

No one dared to approach the edge any closer.

“The walls of the mountain will collapse any time now! We can’t even get close to it! How are we supposed to complete our task and save Gang Zi?” asked a perplexed and rahter worried Ouyang Huxiao.

There were hundreds of people there but none of them could figure out a way to overcome the problem.

“Childe Chen, do you have a way to help us? If there is, I beg you to help us to save Gang Zi! I beg you…”

Su Xiaoman knew that she could not figure out a way to save Gang Zi. Rendered with no other option, she had to beg Chen Xiaobei for help as a last resort.

“Don’t you worry! I have two ways to save Gang Zi! First, let me go down alone to retrieve the item for you guys and save Gang Zi at the same time!”

“But, how are you going to go down there in the first place? The old vines and rocks are really fragile. The whole thing might crumble if you put too much force on it!”

“I have a flying Spiritual Instrument! I can fly down there!”

Clearly, the Somersault Cloud was the easiest way to get to the bottom of the ravine.

“No!!! If you get down there and flee with our treasure, how are we going to locate you?!” shouted Ouyang Huxiao in an angry manner.

“Shixiong Ouyang… I believe in him… Just let him go…” said Su Xiaoman.

“No way!!! Now, he looks like a nice guy! Who can guarantee that he will not become a different person when he sees the treasure at the bottom of the ravine?! Xiaoman, don’t you forget that the item is not ordinary! Even an Earth-God with Primordial Spirit would fight for it! I refuse to believe that this kid is not going to take the item and leave us!”

“About that… Childe Chen, do you mind letting my Shixiong go with you?” asked Su Xiaoman.

“No! I have to be more careful! Your Shixiong doesn’t like me! I’m afraid that he will hurt me!” replied Chen Xiaobei.

“How about you bring me with you?” asked Su Xiaoman.

“No! I have to keep an eye on it personally! Su Xiaoman! I’m going to tell you something honestly! Before I depart here, Sifu gave me a military order! He told me that my future will cease to exist if I fail to retrieve the item!”

“Military order? Chen Xiaobei, can you tell me the second way?” asked Su Xiaoman.

“The second way is going to cost you! I have to use a very precious item to get what you want! And it will cost you one billion Spiritual Stones!” said Chen Xiaobei.

“What?! One billion?!”

Upon hearing that, everyone was shocked to the core.

“Bastard! Are you insane?! What kind of method are you going to use? Why does it cost one billion Spiritual Stones?!” scolded Ouyang Huxiao.

“Pay me first and I will tell you the way! And the success rate is 100%!”

“I really think that there is something wrong with you! Why should I believe you?! Especially when you are asking for one billion Spiritual Stones! Do you really that you can fool me that easily?!”

“The length of this ravine is at least a few kilometers! If I’m really the bad guy here, I would have used my flying Spiritual Instrument to fly from afar and take the treasure into my possession without alerting any of you here in the first place!”

“This…”

Ouyang Huxiao was rendered speechless because he knew that Chen Xiaobei was telling the truth here.

“Shixiong! One billion lower-grade Spiritual Stones is equal to 100,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones! I think the both of us can come up with it! For the sake of Gang Zi, can you stop wasting time?! Can you imagine how others will look at you when you did nothing to save Gang Zi?! You are the core and first disciple of our faction! You can’t do this to your junior!”

“About this…”

Feeling frustrated, Ouyang Huxiao clearly did not want to do as Chen Xiaobei wished. Just like what Su Xiaoman said, everyone was looking and waiting for him to make the call.

“Fine! I will be the good guy here! I will pay you the Spiritual Stones alone! Mark my words, if you fail your mission, I will personally cut you into pieces!”

Right after that, Ouyang Huxiao took out 100,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stoned and handed them to Chen Xiaobei.

“Alright! The number is good! Let me build a safe way for you to go down the ravine!”

“Build a safe way?! What do you mean by that?!”

“In my hometown, the soil always turns to sand due to the lack of water. That’s why sandstorms are really common there!”

“I don’t care about what happens in your hometown! Tell me your way of helping us now!”

“My method is exactly the same with what I did to the sand in my hometown! And the method is to build more trees! The roots of a tree can go really deep underground! A giant net will form underground when we plant more trees! Trees will help by trapping the soil’s moisture!”

“Plant trees?! Are you insane?! Plants don’t even grow here! It’s impossible that you can plant trees here! I’m going to kill you right now!”

“Childe Chen… Please stop fooling around! My Shixiong will kill you!”

“Don’t worry! I have received your payment and I will make sure to solve your problem!”

Chen Xiaobei then walked towards the edge of the ravine and took out a green gemstone.

“As the Verdant Emperor, I command plants to grow here!”

Immediately, green light flooded the place.
