Chapter 1087: Chapter 1091: Forming a Team

The tone remained cold and detached.

Xia Liu shook his head, smiled wryly, and said, “Of course, I’m afraid, but since I’ve taken this path, I can’t turn back.”

Yes, he couldn’t turn back now, only continue moving forward.

Even if there were wolves and tigers ahead, he would fight on.

“You are very loyal, your friend is very lucky.”

Liu Mingyue’s voice softened slightly.

Xia Liu himself had no cultivation, just a retired special forces soldier, so there was nothing much to worry about.

Moreover, from his previous conversations with Lu Fang on the canal, it was not difficult to see that Xia Liu wasn’t a bad person.

“Sister Mingyue, I have already said, Brother Liu is definitely not a bad person.”

“Did I say he’s a good person or a bad person?”

“No…”

After a brief silence, a figure appeared in Xia Liu’s line of sight.

“Brother Lu, why is it you?”

Xia Liu asked, feigning surprise.

“Brother Liu, we’re really destined to meet, to think we would encounter here as well.”

Lu Fang cheerfully patted Xia Liu’s shoulder.

He thought it would be three months before they would see each other again, yet he never expected to meet ahead of Doomsday Valley.

What a twist of fate.

“Hehe, if I knew Brother Lu was coming this way, I would’ve walked with you. Last night I was in the dense forest ahead and nearly got scared to death.”

“Brother Liu, don’t joke around. You’ve undergone intense training, you’re highly skilled, and your courage is definitely greater than mine.”

Lu Fang knew a bit about special forces.

They were ordinary people without martial artist cultivation.

Yet, driven by belief, an unfaltering spirit, they completed tasks even martial artists couldn’t.

Just for that, Lu Fang had to respect Xia Liu.

“Don’t be modest, Brother Lu, you are more formidable than I am.”

Xia Liu didn’t bother to explain; a Qi Cultivation sixth-level practitioner was at the peak in the Warrior Realm.

Lu Fang had excellent character and speech. If it weren’t for Xuantian Sect behind them, Xia Liu would truly wish to be real friends with him.

“Brother Liu, let’s go up front first. If we’re late, that woman who can’t marry will beat me up.”

“Lu Fang, are you done yet!”

Liu Mingyue’s voice came through, causing Lu Fang to shudder and hastily respond.

Fortunately, she wasn’t very interested in the men’s conversation, or else something might have flown her way just now.

Xia Liu followed Lu Fang forward, explaining why he came along the way.

A few minutes later, Xia Liu saw Liu Mingyue and also the entrance to Doomsday Valley.

Her back faced them, conveying a sense of loneliness, but more predominant was her aloofness.

Her enchanting figure stood proudly, drawing Xia Liu’s gaze somewhat.

But, he was more focused on the entrance to Doomsday Valley ahead.

About a kilometer ahead, there were two mountain peaks leaning against one another.

Interestingly, the middle of the two peaks was hollow all the way down.

From a distance, it looked like a giant dragon’s mouth.

Who played a prank, placing two sharp stones on either side of the entrance?

It made the dragon’s mouth look even more lifelike.

Those two sharp rocks resembled dragon fangs, menacing and majestic.

“Is that Doomsday Valley…”

Xia Liu couldn’t help but murmur.

“Yes, the Doomsday Valley of the Falling Sunset Mountain Range.”

Lu Fang responded eagerly.

“Do you have any plans entering Doomsday Valley?”

Liu Mingyue’s body didn’t move, her voice coldly transmitted.

Xia Liu’s face showed a bitter expression, this girl clearly still doubted him.

“I’ve been in Donglin City for many years, and I’m quite intrigued by those mysterious legends of Doomsday Valley. Some say they found precious herbs over a hundred years old here, so I wanted to give it a try.”

“Indeed, Doomsday Valley might have herbs over a hundred, even a thousand years old, but you might not survive to acquire them.”

Liu Mingyue didn’t refute, merely sarcastically retorted.

If someone could enter Doomsday Valley with just a few days of intense training, it would indeed be heaven.

For thousands of years, Doomsday Valley has blocked countless heroes and elites.

Many walked away empty-handed.

If Doomsday Valley harbored lethal dangers, this place might become a graveyard for martial artists and cultivators.

“Sister Mingyue, isn’t it a bit much to say that?”

Listening to Liu Mingyue’s words, Lu Fang found it a little harsh, they finally made a friend.

This girl plainly intended for Xia Liu to leave early.

“Miss Liu is quite right, with my abilities, I may not be able to enter Doomsday Valley. The place is too mysterious, but if there are ancient herbs inside, there’ll surely be some outside as well, my luck shouldn’t be too bad.”

“People still believe in luck these days…”

Liu Mingyue didn’t want to persuade anymore; after all, it was Xia Liu’s life.

“Luck pertains to one’s whole life, believe it or not, it’s there.”

“Good! Well said, Brother Liu!”

Though he couldn’t understand, Lu Fang clapped his hands; Xia Liu spoke beautifully.

“What’s so good, even if you’re lucky, how can you achieve the results you want without enough strength?”

Liu Mingyue coldly wounded him with her words.

“Indeed, Miss Liu is quite right; I know my strengths and weaknesses.”

…

For some reason, hearing Xia Liu’s words, a slight change appeared on Liu Mingyue’s face. Was it an illusion…

“Sister Mingyue, since we’re all going into Doomsday Valley, why not take Brother Liu along? We can look after each other on the way.”

Amidst the silent atmosphere, Lu Fang suggested.

“I appreciate Brother Lu’s kindness, but I don’t have the strength, so…”

“Just because you lack the strength doesn’t mean others do; bringing you into Doomsday Valley alone, I can still manage.”

These words came from Liu Mingyue; she felt Xia Liu was belittling her.

“Well…”

“But I’m not helping out of goodwill, there’s a reason. Once we’re out, give me a few sets of Beauty Mud.”

“Pfft! Sister Mingyue!”

“Lu Fang, you’d better shut up, or I’ll stuff your mouth with mud.”

Liu Mingyue didn’t give Lu Fang a chance to speak, her icy eyes glaring at him.

“Beauty Mud, I’ll try my best to arrange it.”

Since the act has already gone to this extent.

Xia Liu naturally couldn’t reveal any flaws.

For now, Liu Mingyue and Lu Fang’s backgrounds were still unknown; there’s a possibility they belonged to Xuantian Sect.

Thus, Xia Liu decided to continue infiltrating.

“Hehe, with Brother Liu saying so, it’s sure to work out!”

Lu Fang exclaimed joyously.

“The person involved didn’t dare to be so sure, and if not, what would you give me!”

Liu Mingyue rolled her eyes at Lu Fang; this guy was indeed crazy.

“Oh oh, sorry, sorry.”

With Lu Fang’s apology, the atmosphere slipped into silence again.

However, from this point on, the three of them formed a team, a group to enter Doomsday Valley.

Xia Liu naturally followed Lu Fang’s example, taking Liu Mingyue as the leader.

All he needed was to follow her directions.

“Alright, it’s about time, make some adjustments and get ready to enter Doomsday Valley.”
