Chapter 1999: Chapter 1025: Black Gold Wood Forest (Part 2)

And it wasn’t just him, as the others, hearing these words, though they remained silent, their expressions said it all.

Including Lin Tianming and the other two, they all had excited expressions on their faces, clearly showing their true thoughts.

For this, Wang Yaowu noticed it and nodded in agreement.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but think to himself, these people have such small goals, truly short-sighted and petty.

Moreover, it’s no wonder their abilities are like this, some are at the same cultivation realm as him, but their capabilities differ greatly.

In this regard, Wang Yaowu’s heart was undoubtedly proud.

However, for the sake of harmony, he didn’t express his inner thoughts, but instead followed the other cultivators’ suggestions to proceed.

With this in mind, Wang Yaowu looked at the people present once more.

Then Wang Yaowu slowly spoke: “Everyone’s words make sense, I think the same.”

“So next, let’s quickly get moving and clear this battlefield thoroughly.”

“Afterwards, we will head to the lair of the Black Gold Ape Group together.”

“Once all the Black Gold Wood is collected, we will distribute the profits among ourselves.”

Having said that, Wang Yaowu led the way into action.

Upon hearing these words and seeing Wang Yaowu’s actions, everyone present wasted no time.

Subsequently, the Monk Xu and a few others began to tidy up, each attending to the corpses of the Black Gold Apes in different sections.

At the same time, Lin Tianming and his group also started to move.

However, the three of them stayed close together, seemingly guarded against Wang Yaowu’s group.

Wang Yaowu noticed this but was unmoved internally.

In such a manner, under the busy efforts of seven Golden Core Cultivators, it took only a short time to clean up the chaotic battlefield.

By this time, the once bleak battlefield had greatly transformed, with the demonic beasts’ bodies collected and the pits refilled.

As for the bloodstained ground, it returned to its normal color.

Now, only traces of the great battle could be seen on the ground, with other signs mostly gone.

After completing these tasks, the seven regrouped once more.

At this point, Wang Yaowu scanned the entire land, and after confirming nothing was missed, turned his attention to Lin Tianming and his companions.

Then Wang Yaowu spoke again, “The battlefield is cleaned, next we proceed with our treasure collection plan.”

After saying this, Wang Yaowu leaped into the air, transforming into a streak of blue light, heading in a specific direction.

Upon these words and seeing Wang Yaowu’s action, the remaining six began moving as well.

In the blink of an eye, they followed in Wang Yaowu’s footsteps, chasing after him.

Including Lin Tianming and the other two, who joined the group, lagging slightly behind, soon disappearing into the horizon.

Following this, Lin Tianming and his group flew for nearly half an hour, covering a distance of three to four hundred miles, until they arrived in a dense forest.

At this moment, Wang Yaowu was at the front, followed by Monk Xu and Lin Tianming’s group.

During this time, everyone was privately surveying the area, seemingly examining the geographical environment.

However, Wang Yaowu’s group all focused in the same direction, their goal clear, as if they had been here before.

In fact, this was their second time arriving here.

The first time, they inadvertently stumbled into this place, discovering traces of Black Gold Wood, and the large Black Gold Ape Tribe.

Back then, they barely began to search before being discovered by the Black Gold Ape Tribe, leading to a prolonged chase.

Due to their insufficient strength at that time, and a lack of understanding of the large Black Gold Ape Tribe, they weren’t willing to risk their lives.

Reluctantly, Wang Yaowu and the others had to flee, planning to find another opportunity later.

That decision led them to be pressured by the Black Gold Ape Tribe, paying a high price just to escape a few hundred miles away.

Interestingly, at the time, they were at a disadvantage, and likely wouldn’t have escaped unharmed if they chose to fight the Black Gold Ape Tribe.

In fact, the four of them could have been entirely wiped out.

Coincidentally, they encountered Lin and a few human cultivators, including Lin Tianming’s group.

Without much thought, Wang Yaowu’s group decided to first deal with the Black Gold Ape Tribe.

To achieve this goal, they even promised significant benefits, getting Lin Tianming’s group on board.

Now, returning here as victors, the contrast to their previous, defeated state was stark.

Under these circumstances, Wang Yaowu’s group was far less curious than Lin Tianming’s group, focusing instead on the back of the Stone Forest.

Lin Tianming and his group paid no attention to where Wang Yaowu and the others looked.

Meanwhile, Lin Tianming’s group was examining the area.

In their view, the forest was filled with towering trees, odd rocks forming caves.

Moreover, signs of the Black Gold Apes’ presence lingered.

In some caves, scattered First Order level Black Gold Apes were found.

These apes seemed highly agitated, perceiving the intimidating human presence, they fled upon their arrival.

Neither Wang Yaowu nor Lin Tianming’s group bothered with the low-level apes, letting them escape.

Under these circumstances, it’s clear this was the Black Gold Ape Tribe’s lair.

Realizing this, Lin Tianming shifted his gaze further.

In his line of sight, ten miles beyond the Stone Forest lay more dense woods.

The forest was pitch black, starkly different from the outer woods.

Upon closer inspection, the trees stood dozens of feet tall, their branches and leaves inky black with prominent patterns at the base.

Seeing these towering trees, Lin Tianming’s expression shifted slightly.

“Black Gold Wood!”

“Indeed, Black Gold Wood, and quite a bit of it, at least several hundred trees!”

“Unbelievable that so much Black Gold Wood grows here, no wonder Wang Yaowu and the others are fixated on this place.”

“For this Black Gold Wood, they’re willing to offer forty percent of the profits for help.”

“Now, it seems Wang Yaowu’s group is indeed committed to this.”

Seeing the forest, Lin Tianming marveled internally.

Meanwhile, behind him, Lin Tianyun and Qin Xi also noticed the dense forest.

The Black Gold Wood within was clearly in their view as well.

Their thoughts mirrored Lin Tianming’s, clearly astounded by the enormous Black Gold Wood Forest.
