Chapter 1350: Emergency

"There isn't!"

The System's reply was blunt and straightforward.

It had answered in an apathetic voice like a slick scoundrel.

"He, he, trash!" Xu Que sneered coldly. He also adopted an aloof attitude and just exited the System's interface!

Xu Que had expected this outcome, because if the System had really been able to help him hide from this crisis, he would have used it long ago when he faced danger.

After all, Version 10.0 was too weak, and it couldn't keep up with his current needs in many different situations.

SIGH! "After I figure out what I'm doing, I must make use of most of my time to gain more Acting Tough Points. If I can raise the system's version in the 40-plus days I have left, then I will raise my odds of success," Xu Que said to himself.

The current situation was similar to the movie "Final Destination". Xu Que had learned about the danger in advance, yet it was still difficult for him to change the final outcome and escape from the Grim Reaper.

The sole difference was that in the movie, the protagonist got to know in advance the danger he would face in detail, but Xu Que didn't get such a privilege. The only thing he knew was that he was supposed to die in 40-plus days.

TSK! TSK! TSK! "I must take advantage of this time to promote the System and raise my power. Moreover, since I have the two souls, I don't believe that there is anyone able to kill me." Xu Que squinted his eyes, while a starry ray flashed past his black pupils.

"What? Something is amiss." All of a sudden, Xu Que felt dazed, and he had an idea. He summoned the System interface once again, and, getting lost in his thoughts, his gaze fell upon the Firestorm Wheels.

Currently, it seemed as if the only people able to kill him were probably those two souls.

After all, he wasn't the descendant of the two souls, as he had led them to believe, and everything with them had been just a misunderstanding from the beginning. It was a marvelous misunderstanding!

"I think I must guard against them," Xu Que muttered to himself.

.....

Buttface quickly managed to find some clues about the hidden entrance of the valley.

"I remember it. The entrance was there through an ancient tree," Buttface pointed at a vacant region near them and spoke excitedly. "But that ancient tree has already been dug out and taken away by me, while the whole area within the mountain has been exposed. Now, it has surely been destroyed. Ha, ha, ha!"

"F*ck!"

Xu Que promptly rolled up his sleeves, and he was about to charge at Buttface to beat him up.

But Duan Jiude quickly stopped Xu Que. "Lad, don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive! It's too good for him to get just a beating. Tonight, we must make a stew of dog meat."

"That's also acceptable, give me a knife." Xu Que extended his hand.

As a rumbling sound echoed, Duan Jiude handed over a kitchen knife to Xu Que. Then he wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth, while a delighted smile appeared on his face.

"F*ck! F*ck! What do you want to do? Don't come over here, I have practiced..."

When Buttface saw Xu Que coming at him with the knife, he was frightened, and he shouted loudly, before turning around and escaping. He ran toward the forest nearby.

Xu Que didn't bother chasing Buttface, and he threw the knife at Duan Jiude, before saying, "We don't have a lot of time, so we must look around this area."

As a matter of fact, Xu Que wasn't any longer as motivated to find the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines as before.

Originally, he had planned to depend upon the two souls to rule the Heaven Continent and do whatever pleased him here.

But the prediction made him come back to his senses and warned him of something. Leaving those two souls next to him wasn't any different than living next to a time bomb. If they discovered that Xu Que wasn't really their descendant, they might kill him.

This was an extremely dangerous matter, and just the thought of it was terrifying.

"This area is too vast, and we won't finish searching it in less than a month. It's especially the case since some entrances are hidden." Duan Jiude shook his head and sighed.

Buttface had let them down at this crucial juncture, and even Duan Jiude found this a pity. If they couldn't find the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines, the two souls would dissipate after enough time had passed.

"Perhaps...we should reconsider carrying out our former plan, and go to the Divine Farmer Clan's land," Liu Jingning raised a suggestion.

"Huh? This is also a good solution. We could go to the Divine Farmer Clan to get enough Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines to stabilize the two souls before returning here to look more slowly. Wouldn't that be a better idea?" Duan Jiude's eyes lit up, and he spoke with delight.

Xu Que frowned and hesitated. He wondered whether he should keep the two souls. A double-edged sword could sometimes be quite deadly.

SWOOSH!

All of a sudden, a black blur jumped out of the distant underbrush.

When everyone raised their heads to take a look, they discovered that Buttface had returned.

This fool wore a secretive look, and he quickly rushed over, casting mysterious eye signals at Xu Que. He shouted, "Lad, hurry up! I have made a great discovery."

"A great discovery? Come on! Just come over, I won't hurt you. By the way, Mr. Duan, can I borrow the knife from you once again?" Xu Que raised his brows and extended his hand toward Duan Jiude to ask for the knife. Even if he didn't hack Buttface to death, he must make this fool suffer.

"F*ck! Don't cause a scene! This time, it's really a great discovery! I have seen the Divine Farmer Clan members, who were using a Concealing Spell Array throughout their journey. They had set up an Illusion Spell Array to hide the road they passed through. This matter is surely fishy," Buttface spoke in a low voice because he was afraid that other people could hear him.

Upon hearing this, Xu Que, Duan Jiude, and the others were startled.

"F*ck! This fool has really made a great discovery!"

"Where are these people?" Duan Jiude asked promptly.

"They are in that direction, and we are separated by several thousand miles." Buttface extended his hand and pointed toward the rear of the valley.

Xu Que rolled his eyes. "Did you manage to run over several thousand miles in such a short while?"

"I don't dare to brag about everything, but when it comes to speed, I'm surely among the best," Buttface spoke proudly, while he corrected Xu Que's statement. He said, "I didn't just run over several thousand miles, I have made a round trip. I have gone as fast as possible, and you have to reward me. Tonight, I want to eat Boiled Smelly Tofu, as well as simmer-fried Duan Jiude."

"Get lost! You are eating, eating, and eating once again. You only know eating all day long. Kiddo, I think that this is a matter of vital importance, and we must first hurry over there. If we don't do so, we may not find those people," Duan Jiude collected his kitchen knife and spoke earnestly to Xu Que.

Xu Que smiled. "It's isn't really an emergency."

"That is right, those few people are quite weak, and only several Golden Celestial Stage experts and Taiyi Celestials are strong. As for the others, they are just some young guys and a beauty. They aren't a match for brother Que, and I have already seen through their Spell Array with a single glance. We can chase them at any moment."

Buttface glared at Duan Jiude and smiled. He continued, "This is why it's better to first have dinner."

"Huh? Hold on, Buttface, what have you said?" Xu Que opened his eyes wide.

Buttface was taken aback, "Let's first have dinner?"

"Not this, but the statement before it."

"I can see through..."

"The one before it."

"There are several young men as well as a beauty, and they aren't a match for brother Que."

"Let's go, this is an emergency, and we must go over there quickly."
