Chapter 497: Chapter 224: Cold Resistance Level Classification, Gains and Persuasion_3
After finishing his speech, Xia Hong appropriately showed a sense of righteous indignation, then continued in a deep voice: "It’s simply outrageous!"
"Indeed, Brother Hong is truly astute, understanding immediately."
Seeing Xia Hong’s reaction, Hou Hu’s eyes flashed with joy. After a word of praise, he continued in a deep voice: "It’s not just about the Cold Apple Tree. Over the years, Long Mountain has used the name of the alliance hierarch to make us pay annual tributes. They’ve taken untold amounts of materials like iron, coal, herbal medicines, and various resources from the eleven families. Meanwhile, they’ve been expanding extensively within Long Mountain, not allowing other camps to enter. Even the coal and iron mines that we discovered ourselves are snatched away once they find out.
Such actions are no different from robbery by wolves and thieves. The eleven families in Longyou have suffered from Long Mountain for so long. I, Hou Hu, have been pushed beyond endurance and, with no other option, have decided to strike back. In the end, it’s not just for myself but also to seek fairness for them..."
The atmosphere is just right!
Xia Hong looked up at the expectation in Hou Hu’s eyes and immediately spoke angrily:
"I, from the camp, have been out for half a year and have truly never seen such a tyrannical camp. If I hadn’t encountered it, so be it. But since I have, I must intervene. Brother Hou, rest assured, I coincidentally have no other important matters. I will temporarily stay at Zhaoyang Camp and join Brother Hou in dealing with Long Mountain. I refuse to believe justice doesn’t exist."
Turns out such a simple-minded person really exists!
Unbelievably, the deception was successful...
Hou Hu looked at Xia Hong, slightly lost in thought, but his acting skills were not bad. He quickly adjusted his expression to one of deep emotion and bowed towards Xia Hong:
"On behalf of the thousands of people in Longyou, I first thank Brother Hong for his righteous act!"
"Hehe, this..."
Xia Hong appropriately rubbed his hands again and spoke with a hint of awkwardness:
"Brother Hou need not do this. I also have a bit of personal interest. To be honest, I come from outside Twin Dragon Mountain. My camp’s method of boiling Jade Bone is somewhat outdated, so I thought to go out and gather information from other camps, hoping for a better recipe. Brother Hou, if you don’t mind..."
"Brother Hong, rest assured. You saved my life, so the mere recipe for boiling Jade Bone is naturally yours to have. Moreover, upon returning to the camp, I will also provide twenty pounds of Jade Bone and five drops of Cold Apple Jade Dew. If you help me overthrow Long Mountain this time, there’s even greater benefit to come!"
Xia Hong’s eyes immediately lit up, nodding vigorously: "Alright, then it’s settled. I will lend Brother Hou my support."
At this moment, Hou Hu’s heart finally settled down.
If this Hong Yu had no demands and was just fueled by passion to help, he would be suspicious. Having demands is only right.
The recipe for boiling Jade Bone isn’t considered a secret at the Cold Resistance Level in Longyou. Besides, Hong Yu seems to know Cold Apple Jade Dew, indicating he has his recipe and just wants improvement. There’s no harm in telling him.
As for twenty pounds of Jade Bone and five drops of Cold Apple Jade Dew, if Zhaoyang truly manages to overthrow Long Mountain this time, what are they?
"Being able to repel Li Tiancheng, this Hong Yu’s strength is roughly equivalent to mine. With such powerful support, as long as subsequent arrangements are appropriate, the hope of overthrowing Long Mountain will increase by at least twenty percent. The era where Zhaoyang leads Longyou is about to begin!"
During his advance, Hou Hu turned back to gaze westward, seeing the shadow of Long Mountain under the night sky. He slightly clenched his fist, his eyes full of desire and ambition.
"Cold Resistance Level’s power division, the recipe for boiling Jade Bone was obtained so easily, and also..."
Twenty pounds of Jade Bone, five drops of Cold Apple Jade Dew.
Behind the mask, Xia Hong’s face was full of smiles.
The move to repel Li Tiancheng was truly worthwhile.
The key is that Hou Hu was probably secretly delighted like him at this moment.
Who is the one truly being deceived, he still hasn’t figured out!
