Chapter 544: Cao Ke's Worries
readx;
Cao Ke, who had firmly grasped the initiative in the negotiations, naturally did not need to be in a hurry, waved his hand to everyone with a smile on his face, and said: "Let's not be in a hurry to talk about this, after all, this is not something that can be clearly said in a few words......! Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds, if you trust me, to take me to your camp in this place, and we'll eat while we slowly explain everything?"
After listening to Cao Ke's words, the orc leader had not answered, and another orc standing beside him took the first step into the orc leader's ear and said, "Brother, until now, we still don't know the true origin of this man and woman! With this food, should we tell them where we are hiding? Isn't this a little too risky?"
The orc leader pondered briefly for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "Hey~! Second brother, you are also too worried, do you think that with our current poor appearance, there will still be people who care about our life and death? Take the dragon clan as an example, destroy our country, and a small group of homeless people like us, they are not willing to care! Besides, there are only two people now, and there are so many of us, I am afraid that they will not be able to make a mistake?...... Sometimes, we should also learn to trust others, at the very least, we all get hope from this young man, don't you? Don't you want to turn this hope into reality? Do you still want to drag your family to live this kind of hard life with no last meal?"
The orc leader's question obviously immediately resonated with his younger brother, who didn't say a word more, nodded to the orc leader, and responded very simply: "Brother Mingjian, little brother understands!"
The leader of the orcs turned his head again, looked around at the leaders of the various races around him, and saw that everyone had no objections, so he bowed his hand to Cao Ke and said, "That's okay! Everything is as Gongzi said, bring food, and go to our residence to eat and talk!"
Speaking of this, the orc shouted loudly: "The orc is responsible for carrying the food, and the others will lead the way for this son, let's go back!"
Following behind everyone, looking at the happy smiles on everyone's faces as they carried food, the dragon girl couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "What race, no matter how strong a person is, they must put eating and survival first! Just like the more than 100 people in front of us, their overall strength is not even under the same number of killing stars, but they have fallen into the situation of blocking the road and snatching food...... It's really embarrassing!"
Cao Ke pouted and smiled when he heard this: "Of course the sigh is the sigh, but if it weren't for this sigh, how could I have picked up such a big bargain?"
"Cheap?" Listening to Cao Ke's words, the dragon girl and Phoenix were stunned, and then the dragon girl asked, "Kron, you don't want to take them under your control, do you?"
"Why not?" Cao Ke raised his eyebrows as a matter of course: "Who are they? They are the people who can still protect their families and survive under the extermination attack of the powerful dragon clan! Such people, if one is counted as one, they must be the masters of the masters! When we kill the stars to select talents, we have to go to the prison to screen them one by one, these people don't need to! These people have already been screened by the dragon clan for us! Speaking of which, I am a little grateful to Naioreta! Hehehe!"
Phoenix glanced at Cao Ke with disdain, and said in a strange manner: "Cao boy, your wishful thinking is a clanging sound! But I can remind you, if you want to build a team with super combat effectiveness that belongs to you, strength is important, and personality is also essential! You know the strength of these people, so do you understand the virtues of these people? Be careful that you have worked hard to cultivate them, but they will beat you up and make you suffer a big dumb loss!"
Cao Ke tilted his head and looked at Phoenix, and said very curiously: "Okay, you, stupid bird, don't look at you who don't have contact with human society all day long, but you still have a lot of social experience...... But you don't have to worry about that! If I dare to subdue them, then I dare to guarantee that they will not betray me! Just like the original members of my Slayer are not all prisoners? Now, which one of them is unfaithful to me! This is not a matter in my eyes, you know? Silly Bird!"
Phoenix wanted to find something to refute Cao Ke, but Cao Ke's argument was based on facts! Even if Phoenix wanted to break through the sky, he would not have any fault at all!
However, the dragon girl on the side asked Cao Ke very curiously: "Kron, in fact, there is a question that has been held in my mind for a long time, that is, I haven't found a suitable opportunity to ask you, you say, our existing strength is enough to compete with the dragon clan, and you are still constantly expanding the power of your cronies, what are you trying to do?
Hearing the dragon girl's question, Cao Ke couldn't help frowning, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Although the evil nightmare has been ambushed, my heart is not so steady...... Long'er, do you remember when Xiao Yang saved me, he left me a letter?"
The dragon girl nodded, and replied very naturally: "Of course I remember! Xiao Yang's skills are definitely the first person I have ever seen! At that time, I remembered his every move deeply! And I also received that letter for you for a while, and I didn't give it to you until you came to your senses!"
"Not bad. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Cao Ke's voice was a little deep: "In Xiao Yang's letter, there is actually no shocking secret hidden, he only told me that from now on, he will never appear in front of me again to deal with those strong enemies that I can't match! Because he himself has encountered some trouble, and it seems that this trouble is still very big......"
Phoenix couldn't help but be amused, and interjected: "What is that Xiao Yang is in trouble, what does it have to do with you Cao Ke? Listening to what you say, this Xiao Yang's strength seems to be much better than you, such a master, even if you want to help him, you still have that heart, don't you have that strength? What are you worried about, you say!"
Cao Ke shook his head: "That being said, I always feel that the hidden truth here is inextricably linked to me...... Without Xiao Yang, there would be no Cao Ke today! From a young ruffian who didn't know anything, all the way to the current control of the mainland, Xiao Yang's dedication is the biggest and the most! Maybe it's because I'm too worried about his safety, and at some point, I even have some doubts that this super trouble he has to face should have been aimed at me......
When Cao Ke said this, the Dragon Maiden and Phoenix couldn't help but glance at each other, and the Dragon Maiden continued: "So, are you worried that there are forces like Xiao Yang, or more powerful than Xiao Yang, that will suddenly come to the Lingtian Continent to deal with you one day in the future?...... How is this possible? Krona, what is hidden behind you?"
Cao Ke shook his head helplessly: "This is also a question I want to ask! Originally, I was a gangster and a ruffian! But what about me now? I am more than sixty with an extremely high cultivation! I have an ancient artifact like Qilin Fire! I have a natural skill of unknown origin, and I have a golden source of divine clothes...... Tell me, which one of these should fall on a ruffian?"
After a pause, Cao Ke breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Anyway, the current situation is stronger than people! I must spare no effort to develop and strengthen my power! If my hunch really comes true one day, at least I have a few cards in my hand to play!"
The dragon girl hummed in agreement: "If you have concerns about this, then there is naturally no problem in strengthening your own power...... But I think what the stupid bird said is right, these people are of different races, and they don't know which one has their own little calculations in their hearts, we don't have the intention of harming others, and we must have this to prevent people from knowing!"
Cao Ke smiled and raised his hand to stroke the dragon girl's long hair, and said softly: "Ah! Can your husband still not understand the truth of accepting people's hearts? Don't worry, my eyes are not blind! This kind of thing is not difficult for me to recognize people's character!"
Hearing such sweet words coming out of the mouth of a seven-foot man like Cao Ke, Phoenix couldn't help but flutter all over his body, shook off countless goosebumps, and teased in a trembling voice: "Cao Ke, you are enough! Don't show affection in front of me, a lonely phoenix!
Seeing Phoenix's trembling and funny appearance, Cao Ke and the Dragon Lady both laughed, and then stopped talking about these heavy topics, and followed the people of the major races along the way, talking and laughing straight to their habitat......
Everyone walked for a little time, and after crossing the last mountain, they entered a deep valley!
Hidden in the middle of the two peaks, this valley is in a long and narrow shape, and due to the dense vegetation on the peaks on both sides, it is not so easy to spot even from the air!
Drilling into the valley from a very narrow crack, the scene inside the valley is simply very different from the outside of the valley! Outside the valley is a mess that has been destroyed, the forest stretching for dozens of kilometers is crooked, the ground is sinking and cracking, and there is no vitality at all, but the valley is rich in vegetation, and when you look up, you can see that it is full of flowers and colors......
Wait, the flowers, the colors, the right......
