“What?!!!”

Cut off his right arm?!

Chen Xiaobei said it in such an insouciant manner.

Ding Ding’ao felt as though he had been struck by lightning.

He was the young master of Xingxiu Faction! A 130,000-combat power elite. Before this happened today, his pride had never once been hurt before.

Amputating his entire arm was definitely out of the question!

The Xingxiu disciples dared not utter another word.

Even if they had the courage of a lion, they too would not advise their own young master to get rid of his arm!

“Mr. Chen! I beg you, please! I know I was at fault! Please, overlook my faults! Save me! I cannot not have my right arm!”

Tears were streaming down Ding Ding’ao’s face as he wailed.

Chen Xiaobei pretended not to hear him, walked towards Luo Puti and began conversing with her.

“Master Ao! This isn’t the time to deliberate anymore! If the venom reaches your heart, you’ll be dead!” Zhou Xiaokun said in a sober voice.

“F*ck you! Wang Mengyu was cured and she could keep her leg! Who are you to advise me to hack off my arm?!” Ding Ding’ao’s eyes were red with rage.

Zhou Xiaokun sidled up to him and whispered into his ear, “Just stay alive for now! As long as you are alive, we will find a way to kill that son of a bitch!”

When Ding Ding’ao heard this, something tugged at his heartstrings.

Revenge!

That’s right! No matter what, he must fulfill his revenge on Chen Xiaobei!

The thought of it led him to his decision. “Fine! Cut it off! Master Zhou! You’ll do it! I don’t want this right arm anymore!”

“Mm.” Zhou Xiaokun nodded, a True Kang already appearing in his hand. He then swung towards Ding Ding’ao’s shoulder.

Zing!

The True Kang Saber made a clean cut right through Ding Ding’ao’s right arm.

“Arggghh! Urggggh!”

Ding Ding’ao screamed in pain.

The pain was so agonizing that he threw up blood; as the yellow sand turned bright red.

It was a shocking scene.

“Gauze! Clean water! Ointment! Bring them now!” Zhou Xiaokun barked.

There was proverb that mentioned; men who had fought by each other and who went brothels together would become great friends.

Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Ding’ao shared this relationship. Above all of that, they had also been intimate with each other.

In fact, Zhou Xiaobei prioritized Ding Ding’ao way more than Wang Mengyu.

Watching the two right now, the group could not help but wonder if the two of them were more than just friends.

Only Chen Xiaobei sensed the conspiracy between the two.

He was wrong about Zhou Xiaokun. There was zero humanity left in him. He had only begged Chen Xiaobei to save Wang Mengyu so that he did not have to be accountable to her father, the Fifth Elder.

Zhou Xiaokun was not the least bit grateful. He still wanted to kill Chen Xiaobei at the end of the day.

His advice to Ding Ding’ao and motive was to see through that they could work together towards that goal. They would then have the upper hand with extra manpower!

But of course, this plan had to wait for another day.

They could not afford to do it right away. Chen Xiaobei had just captivated literally everyone with his medical skills.

There might be more poisonings in the future. If they wanted to find the Black Desert, they could not afford to lay a hand on Chen Xiaobei just yet.

They had to still put on an elaborate act of being respectful towards Chen Xiaobei.

As Chen Xiaobei did not have any physical evidence against them, he could do as much as to keep an eye out for any traps that these two villains set.

“Little Red! From today onwards, you are in charge of protecting Luo Puti! If anyone tries to hurt her, bite them to death!” Chen Xiaobei spoke in zoolingualism to the red spider he had whipped out of his pocket.

It was the Crimson Wold Spider that had chosen to rely on Chen Xiaobei.

Because it was red all over, Chen Xiaobei named it Little Red.

“Blearghh!” Little Red made a face. “Bro Bei, I am Crimson Wolf Spider! Just call me Crimson, would you? I am a male, you know! Why are you calling me Little Red?”

“Oh, whatever! It’s just a name!” Chen Xiaobei played the good cop bad cop strategy. “If you perform well, I’ll allow you to evolve into the Spiritual Beast when we get home later!”

“Spiritual Beast?! Really?!” Little Red was over the moon. “Then my cultivation will soar! I could even have a chance at learning new abilities! If that’s really true, how awesome is it gonna be!”

“Of course, it’s true! I can guarantee that!”

He was really telling the truth. He still had a lot of Spiritual Beast Food back in Bei Xuan Faction.

Sirus had taken it when he was just an ordinary dog and eventually evolved into Spiritual Beast.

It should be pretty straight forward for Little Red to evolve.

“Alright! Don’t worry, Bro Bei! I will do my best to protect Luo Puti! I will kill whoever that harms her!”

Little Red was so excited that he had forgotten all about his sillly new petname and jumped right into Luo Puti’s pocket.

Initially, Luo Puti freaked out but after Chen Xiaobei explained the situation, she grew bewildered at the thought.

But having known Chen Xiaobei for a while now, Luo Puti had learnt to come to terms at strange sightings. Once she had calmed her emotions, she was no longer unnerved.

Had it been other women whose pocket had a giant spider crawling into, they would have peed themselves silly.

By the time Ding Ding’ao’s wound had been taken care of, the sky was already beginning to darken.

Their initial plan was to arrive at the marked location before sunset. Due to all the circumstances they encountered in the afternoon which delayed a lot of their time, it was not long before sundown greeted them instead.

“Elder Shixiong, what should we do next? Are we going to stay the night?” Zhuo Qunfeng asked.

“We cannot!” Zhou Xiaokun shook his head. “We don’t know how many more Crimson Crowned Snakes there are out here. We are completely vulnerable in the dark. Not to mention sleeping, we won’t be safe even if we are wide awake!”

“Hmm, guess it looks like we’ll have to continue!”

The group nodded.

“Why don’t we go back?” Wang Mengyu said weakly. “We have no more fresh water. If there’s no water source ahead, we’ll all die of thirst!”

“Go back? How naive you are!” Zhou Xiaokun scoffed. “If we do that, there’ll be more quicksands and desert army ants waiting for us! It’s going to be even more dangerous at night! If we go back now, many more will die!”

“I agree! We cannot pull back! It’s too dangerous!” said a very pale-looking Ding Ding’ao. “We have to move forward. Once we reach our destination, we’ll be this close to the Black Desert! Based on the journal’s information, the Black Desert once housed 36 kingdoms! If we can find just one of the ruins of the countries, we can find fresh water! That is our only chance at survival!”

Again, the group nodded.

They had already lost four men this afternoon. None of them wanted to go back in the dark to the way they came from.

On the other hand, Chen Xiaobei and Luo Puti were not deprived of water since the beginning and were definitely not retreating.

Everyone came to the same agreement.

As the sky darkened, they continued to journey on foot towards the marked place on the map.
