Chapter 657 The Butcher

The road gradually becomes a bit bumpy. Song Yuan fetches a bottle of water for Gao Ge.

The water is not drunk up. A bit of it is left in the bottle, which is used as an ashtray.

When Gao Ge bites a cigarette between the lips, Song Yuan has taken out a lighter and lit it for him.

His hand lighting the cigarette is slightly shivering.

He is still recalling what Gao Ge has just said.

This is definitely a tremendous surprise for him.

If he brings the news back, his position in the Shadow School will be essentially improved.

However, Song Yuan has experienced a lot of ups and downs. After all, as the manager of the information department of the Shadow School, he has to deal with a lot of things so he holds back his excitement and asks, “Gao Ge, may I ask why?”

“Why would I help you? Because you look quite pleasing!” Gao Ge says with certainty. “Anyway, you are much more delightful than Song Yang. I must say Song Yang is really annoying. Therefore, if you two compete for the position of the sovereign, of course I hope that you can win. Does it sound reasonable to you?”

To be honest, Song Yuan feels Gao Ge’s reason is too casual and emotional. Yet, come to think of it, given Gao Ge’s character, he can really make such a decision.

Actually, Song Yuan does admire Gao Ge indeed.

It is not only because of his capability. More importantly, in Song Yuan’s eyes, Gao Ge is a man of simplicity.

Rather than consider so many stakes, he simply acts at will, showing his likes and dislikes freely. He doesn’t fawn on anyone just because the person is too strong to mess with; neither does he despise anyone simply because of the identity gap. Besides, he is rather kind and loyal, which is the most direct impression Song Yuan has of Gao Ge.

You may say such a man is unwise.

Nevertheless, most people would like to have a friend like him if possible.

While Song Yuan is contemplating, Gao Ge asks, “May I ask you a question?”

“Sure!” Song Yuan hastens to nod his head.

“How much do you know about the Dragon Killers?”

Song Yuan’s countenance is slightly changed.

Yet, he heaves a sigh soon.

“To be honest, Gao Ge, it is not that I don’t want to tell you but that we know very little. We definitely know less than the Dragon Court. It is fair enough to say that we only know those people call themselves as Dragon Killers,” Song Yuan says.

Gao Ge is a bit surprised. “Even you can’t find any information about them in light of the information network of the Shadow School?”

Song Yuan shakes his head. “Dragon Killers are much more special than the blessed spots. We can’t even figure out the blessed spots, let alone them.”

Gao Ge nods his head.

Indeed, if the Shadow School really knows something about the Dragon Killers, the information will be revealed to the Dragon Court at once.

As is mentioned, the Dragon Court and the Shadow School are on good terms. Otherwise, the Shadow School wouldn’t have the Ghost-like Steps and the Shadow School wouldn’t help the Dragon Court establish the information network.

After all, the Shadow School is quite special. For them, establishing a good relationship with the Dragon Court is quite necessary.

Soon, the car stops.

“Second Young Master, our car cannot go forward anymore,” the driver says.

“Okay. You go back first. No need to wait here,” Song Yuan says.

The driver shakes his head. “Second Young Master, I must wait here. If you need to stay in this place for long, your phone will run out of power when you come out. In that case, you won’t be able to contact me. It is also difficult to take a taxi here. What about this? I’ll find a place nearby to stay and then come here to wait for you every day.”

Song Yuan thinks about it and then agrees with a nod.

When the car is driven away, Song Yuan turns around and says to Gao Ge, “We must climb the mountain ahead of us before we can see Zhaojiagou.”

“Okay.”

Climbing is not difficult for Gao Ge.

Actually, the altitude of the mountain is not high but the mountain is relatively long with a medium slope, which makes the path longer.

For ordinary people, it will take them at least one day and one night to cross the mountain but Gao Ge and Song Yuan are both cultivators. Of course, they can arrive much faster.

Moreover, there is Doudou. Since the incident in Qiu City ended, Doudou has become prominently more capable because it has eaten too many ghost worms. It not only becomes much larger but also runs much faster.

“You are only at the realm of the first level of Strength Protection now, which is quite low indeed. How about this? If you ride Doudou, you will be able to catch up with my speed reluctantly. Let’s try to arrive at Zhaojiagou before dusk,” Gao Ge says to Song Yuan.

Song Yuan is a bit surprised. He takes a look at Doudou and whispers, “Is it a bit inappropriate?”

“Enough. Don’t dawdle.”

Song Yuan stops hesitating and then rides Doudou.

He is thinking that Gao Ge really likes him...

Well, he feels so bashful.

Doudou is somewhat reluctant but it must listen to its owner’s order.

Meanwhile, it also looks down upon Song Yuan on its back.

Somehow, he is a human. How can he be even less capable than it? Alas, it can’t understand why its owner brings such an incompetent man with him.

In no way can Song Yuan think of that the rare beast he is riding is complaining about him madly with disdain...

Doudou is running along the mountain path as if treading on the flat ground. Surprisingly, Gao Ge, who runs by operating the power of stars, turns out to be faster than Doudou.

It makes Doudou rather unhappy.

Its owner is awesome indeed but he has only two legs! Unlike him, it has four legs!

In terms of speed, how can it admit defeat?

Hence, Doudou starts to compete with Gao Ge in secret.

Gao Ge also knows what Doudou’s thinking about but he doesn’t lay it bare. In his eyes, it is a good thing that Doudou can run faster.

Very soon, Doudou has sensed something wrong.

It finds that if it runs a bit faster, Gao Ge will also run a bit faster.

It immediately realizes that if Gao Ge didn’t wait for it, he could be even faster...

Actually, the route towards Zhaojiagou is specially selected by Song Yuan. If they don’t head south, the other routes will be one third longer, or even a few times longer.

Having run for five hours or so, Gao Ge stops and starts to have a rest. He also throws a piece of serpent meat to Doudou for it to regain some energy.

Song Yuan has good eyesight and immediately recognizes that the meat is special, so he asks about it. After getting the answer from Gao Ge, he is even more amazed.

“Serpent meat... It is serpent meat? I didn’t know there would be such good stuff!”

“If you want some, I can give you a few kilograms,” Gao Ge says with a smile.

Song Yuan is taken aback. “What?”

“You don’t want it?”

Song Yuan is in astonishment. Gao Ge is like a butcher now, who just offers a few kilograms randomly. Does he really take the serpent meat so lightly?
