Chapter 386: Maple Wood Alliance

Translator: Mercurial_ Editor: DarkGem

Zhang Yuan had the strength to fight the masters of first ten rooms, but he had silently occupied a room in the back, just like Li Yunmu. It had to be known that Hei Mianshen who was the master of tenth room had only had the physical strength of twenty oxen as well as close to ninety points in flux energy.

Although after the challenges of newcomers the average strength of the masters of the first ten rooms had increased, Zhang Yuan, given his strength, could still have obtained one of the first ten rooms.

Li Yunmu hadn’t expected that Zheng Quan’s methods would be so clever that he would be able to pull in such a high level character.

However, all of his apprehensions about Zhang Yuan were unnecessary. Since Li Yunmu had joined the group, there was no way that Zhang Yuan would be able to prevail over him.

After all, what sort of person was Li Yunmu? Even if the opponent’s strength was close to his, he cultivated several A grade cultivation methods obtained from the system as well as eight absolute defense techniques. Moreover, he also had the eleven shadows and world power as his trump cards, not even mentioning the three pieces of Azure Dragon Deity Battlesuit.

Thus, given his strength, Zhang Yuan wasn’t worth paying attention.

When Zhang Yuan who was opposite him saw that Li Yunmu’s face only slightly transformed and he was still able to silently grip his hand, his complexion turned ugly.

Zheng Quan’s expression also turned blank. He had believed that Li Yunmu had great potential, but he hadn’t expected that his strength would increase so quickly. Perhaps his accomplishments in terms of physical strength were very formidable?

Within their group, there were many people who had set their hearts on Wang Yan and feltl indignant. But when they saw Li Yunmu and Zhang Yuan pitting themselves against each other, their thoughts instantly disappeared.

After all, in the Origin World strength reigned supreme. It was the most important criterion.

Li Yunmu who was the master of fiftieth room hadn’t displayed his full strength before, but seeing that handshake was enough for people to understand it

In their group, Zhang Yuan was the most formidable person. So given that Li Yunmu had easily endured his sneak attack, everyone became aware that Li Yunmu wasn’t any less powerful.

Zhang Yuan’s complexion was very unsightly, but he quickly released his hand and said in a gloomy voice, “Brother Li, you have truly concealed yourself deeply.”

“You flatter me. It hasn’t been long since I became a flux expert and only have a bit of strength which couldn’t be regarded as anything,” Li Yunmu replied.

Between the two of them, Li Yunmu’s evaluation changed greatly in the group.

Compared to Zhang Yuan who was overbearing, Li Yunmu was low-pitched and gentle, giving a feeling of closeness to everyone. They felt that he was quite good and they should maintain contact with him.

It was no wonder then that Wang Yan had fallen for him.

Although the group didn’t have many women, but apart from Luo Honghua who was gnashing her teeth, Li Yunmu’s gentle and elegant temperament gained him a favorable opinion among their small population.

The anxious residents of the small island naturally didn’t understand what was happening. As ordinary people, they only thought that the two were introducing themselves.

When a group of powerful flux experts suddenly appeared on the island, they were all stupefied. However Zheng Quan’s group didn’t make things difficult for them. However for the group of servant class people living on the island, it was unexpected.

“Brother Zheng, I heard that you required Cloud Island’s ghost silk pollen. I had them prepare the required amount in advance,” Li Yunmu said.

“Good, good, very good. Since Brother Li has already made the preparations, we won’t need to stay on this island for long. We will rest for a night and early morning tomorrow, we will set sail.”

Zheng Quan was greatly excited by Li Yunmu’s words.

After experiencing the perils of the ocean, they had already become late by a few days, and he was hating that he was unable to reach the underground cave as fast as possible. Once he heard that Li Yunmu had already prepared the ghost silk pollen, it was naturally something he was happy to learn of it.

Ghost silk pollen was the only specialty of Cloud Island. It bloomed on a tree called ghost pollen tree.

Every year, it would bloom in that season. People who wanted to collect it had to do it in the half month. Otherwise, once they missed, the pollen would drift away with the wind and disappear.

As for the use of the ghost silk pollen, there were many. It was an indispensable item for a flux expert or even a great flux expert who wanted to explore unknown territories like the secret underground cave.

It’s odor could intimidate the majority of extremely poisonous vicious beasts. When mixed together with water, it could purify poisonous objects. Besides that, when it was used together with water, it was like a natural medicine for detoxifying.

Perhaps because he knew something, Zheng Quan wanted to obtain a large amount of ghost silk pollen for their trip. The amount available in the market wasn’t sufficient, so they had to make a trip to Cloud Island.

When the residents learned that the people would leave in a day, they instantly looked at Li Yunmu with gratefulness in their eyes. If not for their good relationship with him, they definitely wouldn’t be treated so properly. In the worst case scenario, the flux experts might have already eliminated them.

It was quite a normal affair. The lives of slaves, especially those who weren’t under any mastar, weren’t any different from those of ants. Even if they died, there wouldn’t be any problems for the flux experts.

The night passed quietly, and the next day came.

The group set sail at dawn. Their aim was an unknown isolated island which contained the secret cave. As for the exact location, only Zheng Quan, Wang Yan, and Luo Honghua knew it.

It was supposedly three hundred nautical miles away from Cloud Island. Given the speed of the cruise ship, they would reach it in half a day, if their journey went without any problems. Everyone was anxious that the ship may not be able to bear the burden of an enormous beast’s attacks anymore. If it came again, they wouldn’t be able to last for long.

But they didn’t have much of a choice.

Moreover, there wasn’t much of a chance to encounter an enormous beast. The majority of the sea beasts who attacked ships were from the vicious beast grade, and Zheng Quan’s group had countless methods to deal with them.

When embarking, one person suddenly right, “Oh that’s right, Brother Li, where’s your ship?”

“I used a vicious beast mount, fortunately its speed was very fast,” Li Yunmu calmly replied.

When the group heard it, they stopped in their actions. His ability to use vicious beasts as mounts reflected his strength. After all, the classification vicious beast strength was different than that of human flux experts. A vicious beast who could be used as a mount was definitely an adult vicious beast.

Regardless of their strength or body build, the vicious beast level sea monsters were somewhat more formidable than vicious beasts that lived on the land. Because of that, Li Yunmu’s strength and mysteriousness caused him to become an enigma in everyone’s eyes.

After stepping on the ship, Li Yunmu for the first time saw a hull with numerous cracks. Once he saw it, even he felt nervous. If it had been an ordinary ship, it would have been smashed by the enormous beast’s attacks long ago.

On top of the ship, a blue flag flapped in the air. There was a pattern of a large island on it, along with a blue sky without a moon. It was the flag of Blue Moon Island.

On the bottom right corner of the flag, there was another, smaller one. It was bright colored and had a lot of logs engraved upon it with three characters “Maple Wood Alliance” written upon them in a flamboyant manner.

Based on the information that Li Yunmu knew about Zheng Quan and his companions, Maple Wood Alliance was most likely the name of the power to which they were affiliated. Naturally, those who didn’t know about Zheng Quan’s real identity wouldn’t be able to make the relation between the two.

During the journey, everyone got some rest in their rooms apart from the boatman. In time, the ship halted. Afterwards Li Yunmu heard people notifying others that they had reached their destination.

“So this is where the mysterious island is? Looks like I will soon be able to see through their veil of secrecy.”

Li Yunmu grew alert, feeling quite excited for the future.
