c511: 507: Admitting Defeat Is Not Shameful

In the treasure hunting grounds of the mountains, what is usually a desolate place has suddenly become bustling.

A clearing has been reconstructed in front of the continuous mountain ranges.

This should be the place where each sect waits during the competition.

Looking up from here, the mountains stretch far, and some plants are already bare.

Yet, there are still quite a few deep green plants.

This type of plant should be evergreen; even in winter, they shouldn’t shed leaves.

After a moment, Su Jinyu and Fu Tianqi came over.

Seeing Shen Han, they chatted enthusiastically.

For this mountain treasure hunt, the two of them have contributed their qualifications.

Neither of them can participate in the mountain treasure hunt.

During idle talk, Fu Tianqi quietly shared a little secret with Shen Han.

There is a treasure spot where Fierce Beasts roam frequently, and few people know about it.

Saying this, he took out a map from his hand and handed it to Shen Han.

Shen Han expressed his gratitude.

In this mountain treasure hunt, I don’t know how much treasure I can gather this time.

The competition starts at midnight tonight.

There are more than three two-hours to go, after some small talk, Yu Chou called all the Star Tower disciples over.

"The mountain treasure hunt is a rare chance for everyone to compete with peers who practice in the Inner Domain.

Before coming, surely everyone has thought in their hearts for a long time about the purpose of being here.

Whether it’s to gain more resources or receive training, it’s of great benefit to everyone.

But there’s one thing everyone must keep in mind, your opponents are very strong.

I don’t want to discourage you all, but indeed, the Inner Domain disciples who come to participate in the mountain treasure hunt.

In our Northern Three Domains, their strength is undoubtedly number one.

Therefore, when facing danger, preserving your life is the top priority.

Admitting defeat is not shameful, you must remember that."

Hearing their Sect Leader’s teachings, all the disciples nodded.

After the crowd dispersed, Yu Chou walked towards Shen Han.

"Shen Han, are you feeling nervous?"

Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Shen Han’s face, and he shook his head.

It’s just participating in a mountain treasure hunt, so naturally, I don’t feel anxious.

"As long as I pay a little attention, I should be safe and sound.

I have little interaction with Inner Domain disciples, nor do I have enemies.

Even if there is some contention, I know to protect my own safety."

Indeed, Shen Han was not speaking nonsense, as there are no deep-seated enmities, who would take someone’s life without cause.

Seizing resources is what’s normal.

But hearing this, Yu Chou’s brows furrowed even more.

"You speak lightly, child, but I still feel uneasy.

Previously, on the ship, that Huo Yuan and his disciple’s actions were indeed worrying.

Clearly, we have no connections with them, so why act against us?

And after my brother intervened, I’m afraid we’ve made a foe.

I’m very concerned his disciple might deal a dark blow during the treasure hunt."

Yu Chou’s worries were not unfounded.

"Those who practice Bow Techniques are most adept at ambush tactics.

This is why the Immortal Bow Mansion, despite not being a large force, holds a high position.

We’ve inexplicably offended them this time, and I don’t know what the master and disciple duo mean by it."

While speaking, Yu Chou’s eyes searched among the crowd.

Wanting to see if Huo Yuan and his disciple had arrived.

He scanned around but did not see the two.

But, as expected, the two of them should be coming.

Moreover, those who practice Bow Techniques are skilled at hiding and concealing themselves.
