Chapter 761: Chapter 599 My path_2
Upon hearing Long Yi’s question, Old Stone Fist glanced at him, then at Stone Fist, who was busy pretending to gnaw on his meat, and sighed, "Yes, there are indeed such people. They wish to leave their home star just because they’ve heard that other planets are more prosperous. They don’t even think about who gave them their powers in the first place!"
Old Stone Fist was obviously somewhat annoyed, and his words were clearly directed towards Stone Fist.
It seemed that Hua Gang was one of those people.
So, Long Yi instantly understood why nobody had expressed any consolation or sympathy when Hua Gang was rescued. Turns out, the kid had always wanted to leave!
"What do you think?" Old Stone Fist asked Long Yi. In his eyes, even though Long Yi had lost his memory, he seemed worldly.
"I think people have their own ambitions. If they want to go, let them go. Instead of letting slave traders profit, we might as well organize those who want to leave and send them on their way. We could even get some resources in return," Long Yi said.
"What’s the difference between that and slave traders!?"
"It’s the difference between genuinely volunteering and pretending to be captured," Long Yi replied with a smile.
"This...." Old Stone Fist fell silent, while Stone Fist, pretending to eat, blushed.
"What about you?" Old Stone Fist hurriedly asked, "Do you want to leave too?"
"Me?" Long Yi smiled, "Don’t you remember? I was the first to break free from the slave traders."
Only then did Old Stone Fist laugh; Long Yi was indeed on his side!
"Actually, part of my reason for coming here today was to bid farewell to you. I thank you for your care all this time. I’m planning to leave soon," Long Yi sincerely said.
"You’re leaving?"
Stone Fist exclaimed.
"Yes, I’m leaving."
"Where to?"
"I’m not sure yet, we’ll see."
"Why?"
"Although my memory hasn’t fully returned, I can feel that I don’t belong here. I need to leave and find a place where I truly belong," Long Yi said, trying to recall the most impressive image from his memory and gazing up at the sky with a forty-five-degree angle.
"Good! Go ahead!"
Old Stone Fist cut to the chase, nodding vehemently. As Long Yi said, he doesn’t belong here. Although the Black Rock Tribe is a medium-sized tribe, it’s just not a place for Long Yi. Old Stone Fist suspected that this amnesiac Long Yi must have significant background!
"I... I’ll go with you!"
Stone Fist wanted to follow along.
"No."
"No!"
Both Long Yi and Old Stone Fist spoke at the same time, although one said it, while the other bellowed.
"I must take this journey alone, it’s not suitable for you," Long Yi said.
"Then what path is suitable for me?" Stone Fist looked a bit lost.
"I’m not you. Only you would know what path is suitable for you," Long Yi said.
Long Yi didn’t mean to criticize other people’s choices; each person has their own aspirations. These kinds of things don’t appear overnight. They definitely won’t disappear with a word or two from him. Everything will take its course.
Long Yi’s departure was as uneventful as his arrival, there was not a ripple. He quietly left, leaving two destinations in mind.
One was the White Rock Tribe, which was the closest to him in a straight line but entailed crossing mountains and hills, a real hassle. The other place was the rather far-off and flat Fire Rock Tribe; however, on the way to the Fire Rock Tribe, there would be an extremely dry desert.
In the end, Long Yi chose the Fire Rock Tribe. Having just acquired the power of Black Rock, he didn’t know if there would be any issues with White Rock; they seemed incompatible just by their namesake.
So, it would be best to absorb some unrelated power before the White Rock.
No.6 girl voiced no objections to this decision. After all, she had also only received the power of Black Rock. As for Little Zi, despite absorbing everything all at once, she was not representative.
The Flame Tribe was located to the southwest, and the closer they got, the flatter the terrain, which contradicted Long Yi’s imaginings. He would expect Fire Rock to have multiple volcanoes with spewing magma.
But on reconsidering, the area was habituated by the Mountain Giants, known for their control of rock. They could have easily flattened the ground to their liking.
Not long after entering the Fire Rock Tribe territory, Long Yi encountered a river, kilometers wide. The river flowed not with water, but with scorching magma! There was no one by the riverside and no bridges in sight.
What should I do now?
The map that Long Yi had brought from the Black Rock Tribe was crude, with the river represented by a line of unknown length.
I better just fly over there.
Anyway, it’s not like I can’t fly. No one should see me, right?
Long Yi was very careful about keeping his actions secret. He didn’t want to draw attention or be the subject of gossip. However, at this very moment, he saw a group of people approaching from the opposite shore. Then, a bridge started to rise from the magma!
So, there’s a bridge here?
That sure came in handy.
As Long Yi was thinking, he stepped onto the bridge. The people from the opposite side also started to cross.
The two groups met when they were about a third of the way across, on Long Yi’s side.
They were a group of Mountain Giants with red hair, wearing well-made clothes —though the material felt quite ordinary. Considering their manufacturing capability, however, this might be considered high-end among the Mountain Giants.
"Stop! Whose child dares to go on the Fiery Stone Bridge without permission!"
The Mountain Giant warrior at the front blocked Long Yi, shouting loudly.
A child...
Long Yi felt helpless.
"Um... I don’t know..."
Long Yi had no choice but to play dumb. From his understanding, this was the territory of the Flame Tribe. As Long Yi was clueless about their affairs, he decided to avoid any trouble by simply keeping quiet.
"Never mind, he’s just an ordinary child after all."
The elderly man in the middle spoke.
Hm? A kind person? Long Yi took a second look at the old man. Unlike the muscular giants around him, this man’s body had become frail with age, his sparse red hair was drying out, and his facial features didn’t seem any more intimidating.
Just as Long Yi was about to express his gratitude, the man continued.
"Don’t waste time on a kid, just throw him straight off."
What?
Long Yi was dumbfounded. I just started to like you a little, and you can’t wait to reveal that you’re a jerk?
At the man’s command, the warrior blocking Long Yi reached out to grab him.
Only an idiot would stand there and wait to be caught!
Long Yi turned and took off, while the warrior behind him didn’t follow. Instead, the whole group burst into laughter.
In the distance, Long Yi heard the old man say, "See? Scaring kids always works."
Long Yi, still running, faltered and almost spat blood in fury!
Damn! That old jerk was just trying to scare him! That line was on par with ’If you don’t behave, the big bad wolf is coming!’
This is absolutely infuriating!
Long Yi gave up on crossing the bridge and waited patiently for the group to leave. A warrior signaled, and the bridge melted back into the magma and was swept away.
This gang of jerks was infuriating!
Long Yi glared at the group, his eyes almost spewing flames. But all they did was laugh even more. Apparently, they found Long Yi’s glaring as intimidating as an adult looking at a child!
Should I wait for them to leave and then fly over?
Long Yi just stood by the shore and watched, but the group wouldn’t move from their spot either.
Damn it!
Was he supposed to summon the Crystal Stone Armor and wade across?
Long Yi wasn’t sure; after all, this wasn’t Bajie’s Dragon Breath Armor.
What to do?
Not far away, the Mountain Giants pointed and laughed at Long Yi.
Long Yi felt compelled to fill up this damned river of magma!
Didn’t he have something that wasn’t afraid of magma?
Long Yi thought carefully.
Actually, he did!
He had the Molten Beast! (To be continued. If you like this novel, please feel free to recommend and vote for it on qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users can go to m.qidian.com to read.)
