My Father Is Definitely Possessed

Chapter 559 - 260: Proof of Allegiance (Part 2)

How could Huang Li have such good luck?

Two liang of silver as capital.

Won fifteen million liang?

That’s insane!

At this moment, Huang Li’s eyes were red with excitement, feeling that today he would reach the peak, even the dealer was stunned.

Huang Li had no intention of stopping, as his mind couldn’t think anymore, with only one thought.

Keep gambling!

He must continue!

"Big!"

Fifteen million liang of silver notes, directly bet on big.

However, this time, when the dice cup was opened, inside was one-two-two, a small five.

In an instant, all fifteen million liang of silver notes belonged to the casino.

When he lost all his money, Huang Li came to his senses, staring blankly at his empty hands, and his growling stomach, realizing he didn’t even have money for a bowl of noodles.

Yet this didn’t affect Huang Li from becoming a legend in this casino today.

Who could have thought two liang of silver would win fifteen million liang of silver?

When Huang Li walked out lost in spirit, a person came up directly and took Huang Li away, just telling him, my master wants to see you.

And Bai Ha saw from afar that the person who took Huang Li was Hai Dongsheng’s subordinate.

Bai Ha didn’t follow, and came straight at night to report to Li Hengsheng.

"How’s Huang Li? What did he do?"

Li Hengsheng asked while reading, these books belonged to the Ghost Race, allowing Li Hengsheng to learn more about the world of Cloud Wasteland, and make it easier to survive here.

"Went to the casino."

Bai Ha replied.

"Went gambling at a casino? What was the result?" Li Hengsheng asked without raising his head.

"The result..." Bai Ha thought of that thrilling afternoon, but felt it was a bit troublesome to report, so he only said the result: "Lost all two liang of silver."

Li Hengsheng wasn’t surprised at all by this.

Obviously, he had anticipated the outcome.

"After he came out of the casino, I saw him taken by Hai Dongsheng’s men," Bai Ha said.

"Hai Dongsheng..."

Li Hengsheng knew Hai Dongsheng had been suspicious of him all along, but he had no evidence, so Li Hengsheng wasn’t afraid of him for the time being, though he couldn’t be sure what someone like Hai Dongsheng might do in secret.

What could Hai Dongsheng want with Huang Li?

Li Hengsheng didn’t care much, but knew he had to be cautious of someone like Huang Li in the future, as their grievances had been settled, there was no need to continue entangling.

"Captain, the commander wants you."

At this moment, a soldier spoke up.

"I understand."

Li Hengsheng got up to find Hong Shen.

Hong Shen, this person, had a somewhat simple mind, but this type of person was easier for Li Hengsheng to get along with.

When Li Hengsheng arrived, he found Hong Shen looking at the map on the wall.

"Commander."

Li Hengsheng approached and spoke.

"Li Yun’s here, sit down." Hong Shen squinted his eyes and said, "Have you gotten used to it these days?"

"Everything’s fine, you take good care of me, Commander."

Li Hengsheng said with a light smile.

"That’s good." Hong Shen suddenly said, "But since you’re a captain, you should fulfill some of the captain’s duties."

"What can I do, Lord Hong?"

Li Hengsheng knew it couldn’t be this leisurely and carefree.

Hong Shen pointed to the map on the wall and then said, "Our Ghost City is in a remote corner, and the daily supplies have to be obtained from places thousands of miles away, which is completely insufficient. Therefore, we often go out to capture other tribes. As a captain, this is also part of your duties, and other commanders will also have such tasks."

"We are responsible for this area."

Hong Shen indicated a spot for Li Hengsheng, then said, "Here, there are many tribes. Seizing their resources, even exterminating them, is a commonplace thing in Cloud Wasteland. My other captains also do such things, and every six months, each captain is required to capture at least two tribes, or else their position will be revoked, and they will be punished."

"Understood," Li Hengsheng nodded.

To put it bluntly, because Ghost City is quite far from other cities, getting supplies requires going to distant places, and often they do things akin to bandits, which Li Hengsheng might find unconscionable in the Human Race areas.

But this is Cloud Wasteland.

A world where the strong prey on the weak.

Moreover, now he can’t afford to be willful. In a place like Cloud Wasteland, as a Human Race member, survival is inherently more difficult. Here, he needs to put away his compassionate nature and most of his conscience to survive better and revive his father as soon as possible.

"We are responsible for the area west of Ghost City." Hong Shen pointed at the map, showing many tribal locations marked, a quick glance could show a lot.

"You can choose one, but after these years of conquests, the remaining tribes aren’t easy to take," Hong Shen told Li Hengsheng.

"There’s still some danger in this job." Hong Shen said, "The previous captain died on the battlefield."

"Which tribe was he attacking when he died?" Li Hengsheng asked instinctively.

"This one."

Hong Shen pointed to a tribe near the riverbank and said, "Celestial Water Tribe, they are near the Celestial Water River, the geographical advantage makes them hard to handle. More importantly, their tribe has many Water Ghost Race members, who are very advantageous on the river. Previously, we suffered because of this."

"Then let’s choose the Celestial Water Tribe," Li Hengsheng said indifferently.

"Celestial Water Tribe?" Hong Shen was taken aback and then advised, "For your first time, better choose an easier one. Attacking the Celestial Water Tribe from the start, I doubt you’ll have much chance of returning alive."

"Let’s go with them."

Li Hengsheng showed no fear.

If in the city, he would still hide.

But if outside, there’s nothing to hide, as these tribes don’t even have an Innate present, what’s there to worry about.

Generally, tribes guarded by an Innate Powerhouse wouldn’t even get to captains like them to attack, that’s a big task led by the commanders themselves.

After leaving Hong Shen, Li Hengsheng also prepared a bit and left Ghost City with his team the next morning.

This was the first time Li Hengsheng led people, feeling novel, like a general.

After the news spread, the many captains at General De Kang’s Mansion heard Li Hengsheng went with his men to attack the Celestial Water Tribe, they couldn’t believe their ears.

"This Human Race is simply seeking death!"

Someone snorted coldly.

"Trying to show off, yet chose a rock-solid place instead!"

"Although the Celestial Water Tribe doesn’t have an Innate Powerhouse, they partly reside on the Celestial Water River, where two top Innate experts reside. Fighting on water, they’re almost as powerful as an Innate. Can he, a mere Human Race, contend with that?"

No one thought highly of Li Hengsheng.

However, Li Hengsheng and his men were heading towards the Celestial Water Tribe, and by noon the next day, Li Hengsheng finally saw the Celestial Water Tribe from afar.

"Lord, that ahead is the Celestial Water Tribe," Bai Ha reminded Li Hengsheng, feeling a bit nervous.

"You’re nervous?" Li Hengsheng asked.

"Not really, but the Celestial Water Tribe’s fighters are quite powerful," Bai Ha reminded Li Hengsheng, "It’s better to be cautious, Lord."

"Hmm."

Li Hengsheng’s heart was calm, wanting more resources, a more stable position. What he could do now was climb up in Ghost City. To climb up, he needed more military achievements.

This Celestial Water Tribe was also his best stepping stone.
