Six-man shrugged. "Sensing my ass. His original power has long been suppressed to nothing. What's there to sense?"
After traveling for more than two hours, a dense jungle appeared ahead.
The carriage that was leading the way stopped at this point.
"Everyone, the person you're looking for is inside. The road ahead is difficult to walk on, so you'll need to get off the bus and walk in with us."
Pele walked up to the five men and said with a smile.
"Okay, lead the way."
Hao Yun responded with a smile, while at the same time he began to quietly observe Pelé's teammates.
There were two men and one woman. Judging from their weapons, the woman was either a mage or a priest, while the other two were both wearing heavy armor and carrying longswords, so they were probably warriors.
As for the burly man leading the group, he also appears to be a warrior.
Following the adventurer team, Hao Yun and the others ventured into the jungle. Along the way, they encountered many monsters, but the adventurers who were leading the way dealt with them all.
"This is a mark left by my teammate. We're almost there."
The burly man pointed to the triangle that had been carved out of the tree trunk and said to Hao Yun and the others with a smile.
"Let's keep going. If there are no problems, we will distribute the bounty after we return to town."
The time machine urged him on; he couldn't wait to see Little King Kong.
Bailey remained silent and continued leading the way. After walking for about ten minutes, a low hill appeared ahead.
"The person is right there. Do you think that's the person you're looking for?"
Not far away, Little King Kong was hanging upside down from a big tree by a rope.
"Didn't you say you hadn't caught them?"
Hao Yun looked at the burly man, his expression perfectly calm.
"It might have been done by my teammate. Let's go check it out."
The burly man, with a hint of anxiety in his expression, led his teammates in charging down the slope.
"Let's go too!"
The time machine couldn't wait to run down after the other person, with Six-Wa following closely behind.
"Hao Yun, don't you think something's strange?"
Sun Wukong had a strange expression and turned to look at Hao Yun.
"No need to look anymore, let's prepare for battle."
Ye Zi, who was standing next to Hao Yun, looked at Hao Yun with a puzzled expression, and then her expression became serious.
"Little King Kong!"
The time machine rushed to Little King Kong's body, intending to use magic to cut the ropes and lower him down.
The ground shook, and two ropes bound the time machine's legs, hoisting it up in a flash.
"A time machine!"
Six-Wa cried out in alarm and tried to back away, but an adventurer standing next to him knocked him unconscious with his weapon.
Pele turned to look at Hao Yun and the other two, still with a smile on his face.
When did you realize something was wrong?
Chapter 215 Breakup and Pursuit
"In the union."
Hao Yun stood still and casually answered Pele's question.
From the jungle, an archer and a man holding a shield emerged.
“I thought you wouldn’t find out, but it doesn’t matter. Now your teammates and the people you’re looking for are in my hands.”
Bailey smiled and shrugged, signaling his teammates to tie up the three people in the time machine.
"I'm curious, why did you bring us here?"
Hao Yun crossed his arms and didn't even glance at the time machine and Sixth Brother who were tied up.
"Don't worry, I won't kill them. I'm just after money. If you can offer us a price that satisfies us, we can leave anytime."
Bailey casually cut the rope and lowered the little King Kong who was hanging there.
"Don't trust them."
Ye Zi stared at Bailey and the others not far away, her eyes blazing with fury.
"Tell me, how much money do you want?"
Hao Yun smiled at Pele, showing no intention of resisting.
"readily!"
Bailey laughed heartily and casually pushed the three people out of the time machine.
"Ten thousand gold coins per person, pay the money and we'll release them."
The scene fell silent, and neither side spoke.
Ye Zi stood beside Hao Yun, constantly observing the surrounding environment out of the corner of her eye.
"What should we do? Do we have to pay to replace them?"
Hao Yun shook his head. Only a fool would actually take out money at this moment.
"Don't you want to switch back to your own teammates?"
Pele stood on the time machine, his smile turning sinister.
Under immense pressure, the time machine's eyes bulged outwards, and it became difficult to breathe.
"Stop! We can afford the 30,000 gold coins, but we're afraid that if we pay the money, we'll lose our lives."
Hao Yun frowned and looked directly at Pele.
"Don't worry, as long as you give us 30,000 gold coins, you can leave. We'll do this job and then go far away."
Pele smiled calmly, his tone exceptionally sincere.
"I hope what you're saying is true. If you're lying to us, I believe you'll suffer a terrible fate."
"You don't need to worry about that, just take the money."
Hao Yun spread his hands and began to speak.
Do you think anyone would carry 30,000 gold coins with them?
"You really are dishonest!"
Bailey shook his head, drew his short sword, and stabbed the time machine in the face.
With a cry of pain, the Time Machine curled up into a ball, a pool of blood flowing from its abdomen.
What do you mean by that?!
Ye Zi roared, raised her shield, drew her short sword, and charged forward.
"Don't move."
Hao Yun narrowed his eyes as he stopped Ye Zi.
"The deal isn't even finished yet, and you're already so eager to turn your back on me?"
Pele kicked the time machine away and snorted coldly.
"You really think we're fools? You carry spatial equipment with you, and your adventurer team always carries their money with them."
“You’ve investigated thoroughly enough. Alright, then I’ll tell you the truth: we don’t have nearly 30,000 gold coins on us. We’re still a bit short.”
Hao Yun started taking out money, and soon the ground was piled with gold coins.
More than 20,000 gold coins piled together formed a small mountain, its golden light dazzling under the sunlight, making it hard to open one's eyes.
Bailey's adventurer team was immediately drawn to the scene.
This was the first time they had ever seen so many gold coins. Despite being a high-level adventurer team, their income was actually not high.
Each mission earns about a hundred gold coins, which are then split among six people.
Once you get the gold coins, you can use them to repair equipment and cover daily expenses. The money you earn will soon be gone.
To this day, the combined wealth of these six people doesn't even amount to a fraction of the gold coins Hao Yun produced.
"We have all our gold coins here. Now we can exchange them for our teammates, right?"
After Hao Yun finished speaking, he looked at Bailey and spread his hands to indicate that this was all the money he had.
"Boss, give them back, let's get out of here!"
Lilia looked at the gold coins and couldn't help but grip her wand tighter.
Bailey snorted and ignored Lilia.
"Put down your equipment, and you can leave with your companions."
Having been an adventurer for so many years, Bailey had a sharp eye and could tell at a glance that Hao Yun and his two companions had unusual equipment.
"no!"
Hao Yun rejected the other party's suggestion without even thinking about it.
"Don't be too greedy. Since you don't want this money, I'll put a bounty on your head. How many people do you think would want to kill you for the reward?"
Bending down to collect the gold coins, Hao Yun looked up at Bailey with a hint of mockery in his expression.
The two exchanged a glance, and Pele felt that things were getting out of control.
Hao Yun smiled and looked at Pele's teammates.
"Hey, whoever helps me kill him can come here to claim their reward—over 20,000 gold coins. I think that should be enough for you to live a carefree life for the rest of your days."
