The Ferry of Salvation

Chapter 1057 Frog at the Bottom of a Well

In the casual system, Silver-tier casuals could only accept one mission at a time. If this mission wasn't completed, they couldn't accept any others, even though the reward was nearly two million.

But who knew how much time it would take? Perhaps in the same amount of time, they could earn more by taking on other missions!

Moreover, he also remembered something Old Tie had said: If a mission with the number '1' appeared, it should be accepted as soon as possible.

Did this mean he would have to keep a mission from an old man forever until the matter was resolved, or, "No, after this mission is over, I need to level up first before accepting any more!"

Li Chonglou immediately made up his mind and began inquiring about news of Tian Gou.

Perhaps it was luck, but after only half an hour, he found a clue from a fast-food restaurant owner.

"I have an impression of the person you're talking about. He came here to eat three days ago."

Li Chonglou directly showed Tian Gou's photo when asking. The owner remembered the person after seeing the photo.

And he even provided a key clue.

"If I remember correctly, he seemed to be on the phone with someone at the time, talking about Hong Gang, and what time to go."

Li Chonglou's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly gave the owner a can of Red Bull as a reward. The owner beamed with joy.

"It's too embarrassing, I just happened to remember this person."

Although he said this, his body honestly put the money into his pocket.

Li Chonglou smiled and got up to leave.

However, shortly after he left, the owner's expression suddenly changed. It was broad daylight, and there were still several customers dining in the restaurant, but he had already started to rush them out and close up.

"Sorry, sorry, consider this my treat this time. I really have something urgent to attend to."

Amidst the complaints of the customers, the owner skillfully pulled down the rolling shutter and quickly left.

In a small alley, the owner suddenly dived into the nearby bushes and disappeared.

About half an hour later, on a mountain behind the town, halfway up the slope, the owner's figure suddenly emerged from the bushes.

"I remember it should be around here."

The owner muttered as he carefully observed his surroundings, and finally, a few meters away behind a patch of thick grass, he discovered a cave entrance. His face lit up with joy upon seeing the entrance.

He quickly walked over and, without thinking, ducked inside. After walking for nearly five minutes using his phone's flashlight, a burly man appeared at the end of his sight.

The burly man was sitting on the ground like a meditating monk, but judging by his clothing and attire, he was clearly not a religious person, but rather exuded a rather fierce aura.

Perhaps sensing the light, the burly man opened his eyes before the owner could speak.

"Why are you here?"

His voice was somewhat deep, but it was impossible to discern any joy or sorrow.

"Master, someone is really here asking about you, and they have your photo!"

As the owner spoke, the burly man's expression changed immediately.

"When did this happen?"

The owner said with a hint of flattery, "Just a short while ago. After he left, I rushed over to inform you immediately."

However, the burly man's expression changed dramatically again, and he even stood up abruptly.

"Damn it! Who told you to come immediately! What if..."

"No need for 'what if', I'm here."

Li Chonglou walked out of the darkness behind them with a smile, a hint of surprised joy on his face.

He truly hadn't expected that by simply making a casual inquiry, he would find the person himself. The smooth progression of events made it almost unbelievable.

However, the burly man before him was indeed the Tian Gou he was looking for.

The atmosphere in the cave immediately became tense. After a while, the owner reacted and was about to explain, when a large hand suddenly twisted his neck.

The owner died without even a chance to scream, which caused Li Chonglou to frown slightly.

"Do you think you can just kill someone and leave?"

Tian Gou seemed to understand Li Chonglou's meaning and said in a deep voice, "He's just a dog. I can find another one anytime."

"Your name seems to be some kind of dog too."

Tian Gou's pupils suddenly contracted, and his aura erupted.

Entry, first level, second level, third level, fourth level!

Finally, Tian Gou's aura stopped at the fourth level!

With this strength, even the Flesh Mountain would have a hard time gaining much advantage.

However, Li Chonglou remained unfazed, "Don't get agitated yet. I just want to ask you about someone. Wang Lin, do you know her? She's also from your Divine Envoys organization."

Tian Gou's face changed dramatically, "You know my organization? You really are from the Chief Dog faction!"

"Chief Dog? Heh, you seem to be the real dog here."

Within his body, Wen Yi had already undergone soul fusion. This was the only way out behind him, and the person before him was practically in his grasp. There was no rush to kill him.

However, he hadn't expected Tian Gou to suddenly erupt.

After he finished speaking, a clear look of anger flashed in Tian Gou's eyes, and his body suddenly vanished from its original spot.

Li Chonglou narrowed his eyes and threw a punch to the left. The next second, their fists collided.

"Boom!"

The surrounding rock walls shattered from the impact of the energy, and Li Chonglou was forced back several steps.

"With this kind of strength, you dare to try and stop me alone?"

Tian Gou sneered dismissively and vanished again.

The sound of sonic booms immediately echoed throughout the cave, causing the entire cavern to shake, appearing on the verge of collapse.

Fearing a collapse, Li Chonglou could only fight while retreating, backing all the way to the cave entrance.

The sudden burst of light allowed Tian Gou to see an escape route, and he intensified his attacks.

Earlier, apart from the owner's phone light, they had been using their internal energy and aura to lock onto each other. This continued until now, so Li Chonglou immediately sensed Tian Gou's intention.

However, this time, he was destined to be disappointed.

Although only a few meters remained, Tian Gou suddenly found that no matter how hard he tried, the man before him remained completely still!

It wasn't until he squinted to see clearly in the dazzling sunlight that he realized Li Chonglou had assumed a stable stance.

"What kind of posture is this?"

Tian Gou was somewhat taken aback. It was the first time he had seen someone dohorse stance during a fight.

However, it seemed like he had indeed become stronger?

Tian Gou, with a touch of disbelief, charged forward again, throwing the same punch. This time, he saw clearly that after Li Chonglou blocked his punch, his lower body shifted slightly.

"It's Tai Chi!"

Tian Gou immediately understood, and at the same time, his face showed shock.

"Tai Chi can be used at a time like this?"

Li Chonglou calmly said, "Tian Gou, although I don't know your real name, perhaps you don't have one, I know you've always looked down on Chinese martial arts."

"Including what you're using now, it's all from Western island nations."

"Today, I will let you know what it means to be a frog in a well!"
