Doomsday Code

Chapter 364 Different from Others

It's just that this guy is a treasure in the family. Although he had to cross mountains and rivers on the way here, he didn't suffer much because he was bringing a large group of people with him.

Now that their way was blocked by a canyon, he simply ordered his men to go into the forest and cut down the tree spirits.

When these tree spirits woke up, his lackeys were all frightened at first, just like Chen Cheng and his men. However, when they saw that the trees could talk, they thought about digging up the trees with their roots and presenting them to this guy for a reward.

Although these tree spirits are kind-hearted, they are not stupid. They saw that these people did not have tokens and wanted to hurt them.

Then the next moment these greedy guys became food for these tree spirits.

When this guy saw that his men had been sending people for a long time but there was no movement, he sent more people, but these people all ran back soon.

After these people told the story, this guy also became interested.

The reason why he was so bold was that he was accompanied by a platinum-level warrior guard this time.

When he saw those tree spirits, he originally wanted to let the platinum-level guard beside him take action, but the guard had already formed a domain, and his perception of danger was much stronger than that of ordinary people. He immediately discovered the weirdness of these tree spirits.

Reminded by the guards around him, this guy had to suppress his own thoughts and took out his identity token.

Then he saw the bridge made of vines just like Chen Cheng and the others.

But after he got onto the bridge, the roots began to slowly disappear. The guards who followed behind him wanted to jump up, but were all blown away by the strong wind in the canyon.

The guy was also shocked when he saw this, and then he was quickly taken across the bridge by the platinum-level guard who followed him.

However, throughout the rest of the journey, they were not as relaxed and happy as Chen Cheng and his friends.

The journey was full of dangers, and even the platinum-level guards who followed him died in the end.

The reason why he was able to walk here alive was thanks to the token in his hand.

This guy came back to his senses, and then watched Xiao Dun and his men setting up camp in an orderly manner, and he immediately thought of something.

He then leaned close to Chen Cheng's ear and asked carefully:

"Do you have an epic-level warrior in your team? My name is Siduo Monet, the son of the Patriarch of the Siduo Family. As long as your team can protect me, you will all be honored guests of my Siduo Family when I return."

Chen Cheng really couldn't understand what this guy was saying, and he also knew the priest family, which was a big family in a province in the south of the kingdom.

How could their young master be the beggar-like guy in front of them?

"Hey, brother, I know you must have suffered a lot along the way, but you don't have to abandon your ancestors and find someone else as your father."

Chen Cheng thought that he was from a small family and was attacked by a group of beasts in the Nanmu Forest along the way, which was why he was in such a miserable state.

The young masters of this small family are generally very unsophisticated, so in order to win their help, he made up a story that he was the son of the patriarch of the priest family.

And talking about this epic-level strong man might be just showing off his broad knowledge so that he can believe it.

But he didn't know that he had truly witnessed the epic level, and he hadn't encountered any danger along the way that required the intervention of an epic-level strong man.

Just when Chen Cheng was about to persuade Monet, Huidun in the distance called him over.

At this time, Huidun had already met Moduonik, and learned the real situation here from him.

And this huge group of people is really an outlier here.

This made Mo Duonik, who had just seen their group, think that they had invited some epic powerful person to escort them.

It was only after the two sides had their confrontation on the road that Modonik realized that he was a clown.

No one encountered any difficulties at all. The only damage was a big sword that was accidentally destroyed by the strong wind when crossing the bridge.

Although the sword is quite expensive...but it's not about the money, it's that they didn't encounter any obstacles at all.

And it is precisely because of this strange and unique thing that Huidun thought of asking Chen Cheng to come over and talk about it.

When Chen Cheng learned the truth about the other people's coming here, he realized that the man who claimed to be the son of the patriarch of the priest family might not have lied to him, and he might really be the son of the patriarch of the priest family.

But no matter how I think about it, it seems wrong.

Exploring the ruins is so dangerous, why would this big family let their eldest son take the risk here?

Seeing that Chen Cheng didn't say anything, Huidun reminded him.

Chen Cheng subconsciously asked his question.

And Moduonik answered his question quickly.

“The reason is actually very simple. Although ruins exploration is dangerous, the benefits are also huge.

Especially for the first group of people who enter, as long as they can get out alive, their minimum achievement in the future will be the peak of the platinum level.

And as long as there is a little resource support, epic level is not impossible.

An epic-level strongman is undoubtedly a pillar of support for forces and families, especially for kingdoms without demigods."

“It is precisely because of this extremely exaggerated profit that when the ruins appear, these big families will send their own heirs to explore.

As long as we can return alive, not only will our family's position be stable, but we may also be able to make further progress."

“And the reason why we don’t let the bastard come is the same reason. Once the bastard returns and becomes more powerful, it will not be a good thing for the family, but will be the source of civil strife.

Moreover, these families have more than one legitimate son. If the legitimate son who left is harmed, they still have heirs to train."

Chen Cheng also knew that in this world that values power, the stability of power comes from the amount of power he holds in his hands.

"Okay, after all that, do you know why we are different from others along the way?"

Huidun asked at this time.

After thinking about it, Chen Cheng shook his head and said:

"I really don't know. Maybe those dangers have already been avoided by others, so we are fine?"

This was the only reasonable explanation Chen Cheng could think of.

Not long after Chen Cheng finished speaking, he saw the eldest prince and his entourage running out of the woods in a rather embarrassed manner. Looking at the terrified looks on their faces, it seemed as if something terrifying was chasing them.

Seeing this, Chen Cheng coughed and said:

"Maybe the dangers have rested enough, so they have become active again."
