Upon hearing Gulu’s words, the eyes of the elderly goblin immediately showed a look of realization, and his gaze towards Li Haotian became slightly fiery.
As everyone knows, goblins are natural merchants with a unique fixation on doing business.
Looking at Gulu’s manner just now, it was very obvious that this "Haotian Brother" he mentioned was definitely a powerful "client boss"!
Li Haotian looked at Gulu with an expression of both amusement and helplessness.
This guy still couldn’t let go of those superpower weapons of his!
He pondered for a moment and then turned to Ling Xuehan: "Second Sister, in this treasure hunting mission in the Otherworld, quite a few from the Freedom Federation must have come too, right?"
Ling Xuehan chuckled and nodded: "They want to deal with... that big shot from our East Dragon Empire. If they don’t send in enough capable professionals, who would dare release such bait?"
Li Haotian’s lips curled into a peculiar smile as he said to Gulu: "Gulu, I can’t give you those things, but I assure you that if you stick with us, there will be no shortage of good stuff."
"Let’s make a deal, you be our guide, and I’ll help you get supplies for free, how about that?"
Gulu’s eyes immediately lit up: "Free supplies? No cost involved?"
Li Haotian nodded affirmatively: "Yes! Free! Not a single cent will you have to spend!"
Gulu decisively nodded: "Deal!"
Li Haotian grinned: "In that case, let’s talk as we walk."
Saying this, Li Haotian led Gulu and turned to walk towards the outside.
"Gulu, we came this time to find that Skeleton King’s Ring you mentioned before. Do you know where in the alliance this ring is most likely to be now?"
Gulu wasn’t surprised at all.
Ever since many outsiders suddenly arrived on the Azeroth Continent and started looking for that Bone Ring that had flowed from the horde into the alliance, the news had already spread among their goblin merchant circle.
He thought for a moment and said: "It is said that after the Bone Ring was lost from Gordan’s hands, it was picked up by a half-orc."
"Coincidentally, that half-orc was an idiot, literally a fool who didn’t understand the power and value of the Bone Ring at all."
"Later, when a bard passed by, that half-orc traded the ring for a bag of beef jerky."
At this, Gulu said with a face full of regret: "As everyone knows, bards hate war. He knew that if the ring were exposed, it would definitely cause a bloody storm."
"So, after bringing the ring to the alliance, he hid it in a secret place."
"Unexpectedly, it was later found by a dwarf child by accident, and after that, who knows where the ring went."
Gulu mused: "However, according to our goblin merchant’s internal information, the place where the dwarf child found the ring was near Storm City, so there’s a good chance the ring is in Storm City."
Ling Xuehan asked in confusion: "What is Storm City?"
Gulu explained: "Storm City is the capital of the Storm Kingdom of the alliance’s Human Race, and it’s also the largest mixed-race dwelling place of the alliance."
Li Haotian’s spirits lifted as he exchanged a glance with Ling Xuehan and others.
Indeed, local news is always more reliable!
Bruno’s eyes filled with killing intent: "Perfect! Killing Ling Xuehan, the president of the Peacekeeping Elites, in the Otherworld would make this trip immensely profitable!"
"Beep beep beep beep—"
At that moment, the Sound Transmission Worm in James’s hand rang again.
James quickly connected and asked: "What is it?"
"President James, Li Haotian and his crew, they..."
It was the same scout who had just reported Li Haotian’s whereabouts, but now his voice was filled with astonishment and helplessness.
"What about Li Haotian and the others!?" James’s voice immediately sank.
Could it be that Li Haotian and the others had detected their plan and activated the Affiliated Scroll to prepare to escape?
Others were also tense.
Although activating the Affiliated Scroll in the Otherworld requires 30 minutes before teleportation, Ling Xuehan is a Void Walker!
Even though her control over this Otherworld’s spatial powers isn’t enough for long-range teleportation, short-range teleportation is still possible given her level.
On this trip, they were prepared for Ling Xuehan’s presence and specifically brought along Granger, a White Mage also skilled in spatial powers.
But for Granger to block Ling Xuehan’s void travel, he must get within a certain range first.
If Ling Xuehan takes Li Haotian and escapes now, playing hide-and-seek with them, even with superior combat strength, James and his crew wouldn’t be able to catch Li Haotian again!
