Chapter 21. Conquering Hai Bodong
Chapter 21. Conquering Hai Bodong
After Hai Bodong agreed to join Chen Ze's forces, he rubbed his hands together. The rough palms rubbing against each other made a slight rustling sound, as if to relieve the tension in his heart.
Immediately, he looked at Chen Ze expectantly and said, "Then the seal on my body..."
At this moment, his heart and eyes were focused on the seal that had troubled him for so many years. He thought that if it could be lifted soon and his former strength restored, that would be what he had always dreamed of. It was as if he saw himself regaining his strength and making a big splash in this Douqi Continent again.
"Of course I do what I say." As he spoke, Chen Ze looked stern and quickly formed seals with his hands.
His slender fingers changed rapidly, and complex and mysterious hand prints flashed rapidly at his fingertips. Each hand print emitted a faint light, and the lights intertwined together like mysterious runes, revealing an ancient and profound breath.
As Chen Ze began to break the seal, Hai Bodong clearly felt that the power that suppressed him to the Dou Ling stage began to fluctuate.
The seal that had originally imprisoned his strength like an iron barrel seemed to have been subjected to a strong impact at this moment, just like a tiny crack appeared in a solid dam and began to show signs of loosening.
This made Hai Bodong feel a strong sense of anticipation. He stared at Chen Ze's every move with his eyes, his heart full of excitement, and immediately closed his eyes to accept the unblocking.
At this moment, he wished that the seal could be completely lifted immediately so that he could get rid of the shackles of many years as soon as possible and regain his freedom and powerful strength.
As Chen Ze made his move, when the last wisp of snake pattern just left Hai Bodong's head, it trembled violently, and then turned into a puff of green smoke, dissipating in the air.
At the moment the snake pattern left the body, Hai Bodong's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and two rays of light shot out from his eyes as if they were real. The light was bright and sharp, as if it could penetrate everything.
A ferocious aura, like an awakened lion, surged out from within the body that had been deeply suppressed for nearly decades.
This surging energy, carrying with it all the frustration that Hai Bodong had accumulated from being sealed for so many years, instantly filled the entire shop.
Under this powerful momentum, the layer of ice crystals in the room that had been condensed by the cold air that Hai Bodong had previously emitted began to crack.
Dense cracks appeared on the ice crystal layer, like a broken spider web, constantly spreading and expanding, making slight crackling sounds, as if groaning in pain.
"Haha, this damn seal is finally gone! I am the Dou Huang again!" Hai Bodong's body floated in the air like lightning, his face filled with ecstasy, and he raised his head and laughed wildly.
His laughter echoed in the room, making the air around him buzz.
The violent sound waves, carried by his own fighting spirit, caused the surrounding cracked ice to explode with a loud bang.
The broken ice pieces flew everywhere, sparkling with crystal light under the light, and then scattered all over the ground with a crackling sound.
"Have you had enough of pretending?" Chen Ze glanced at Hai Bodong and said with a little impatience.
There was a hint of impatience in his eyes, as if he was somewhat disapproving of Hai Bodong's ecstatic and indulgent look.
"Enough, enough..." After Hai Bodong recovered to the strength of a five-star Dou Huang, he found that he still could not see through Chen Ze!
He couldn't help but be shocked, wondering what kind of person Chen Ze was and why his strength was so unfathomable.
In addition, he realized that Yun Yun's strength was actually a five-star Dou Huang. This made him immediately realize that he could not be so arrogant anymore, so he quickly landed and stood firmly on the ground.
"This is the Huangji Pill. I think if you go back and meditate for a month, you should be able to get a huge improvement. Perhaps it is possible to reach the Nine-Star Douhuang." Chen Ze directly threw the pill to Hai Bodong.
The Huangji Pill drew an arc in the air, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance and a faint powerful energy fluctuation.
Seeing Chen Ze lift his seal and casually throw out such a precious elixir, Hai Bodong felt even more afraid of Chen Ze.
Everything the other party did was really random.
He thought to himself, this meant that the other party was either too naive to trust him, or was not afraid of his regret.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Chen Ze was not simple. There must be a strong confidence behind him to support his actions. After pondering for a moment, Hai Bodong also showed an attitude of surrender: "Hai Bodong is willing to lead the Mittel family to be loyal forever."
Chen Ze nodded and continued, "Very good. I still believe in Hai Lao's character. Of course, if one day Hai Lao really betrays me, I will definitely think about what I did not do well after I cut your neck."
His words were half-joking, but also contained a hint of obvious threat, which made Hai Bodong feel nervous.
Obviously, Chen Ze was the latter and did not take his possible betrayal seriously at all, which made Hai Bodong even more afraid to have any disloyalty.
Hai Bodong laughed dryly and said no. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, sir. I'm not that kind of person."
He forced a flattering smile on his face, trying to ease the slightly tense atmosphere.
Chen Ze also said that he absolutely believed in the other party. He patted Hai Bodong on the shoulder.
After some joking, Chen Ze said, "Then, give me the incomplete map you got."
"Incomplete map?" Hai Bodong was stunned for a moment.
It’s not that he didn’t have the incomplete map, but he was a little shocked. How did Chen Ze know about it?
It was clearly the first time they met, but Chen Ze gave him a feeling that they were very familiar with each other.
Hai Bodong himself couldn't explain why this was happening... He was full of doubts, his brows were slightly furrowed, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Chen Ze didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.
His eyes were calm and deep, as if he could see through Hai Bodong's thoughts, making Hai Bodong feel more and more uneasy.
Hai Bodong did not pretend to be stupid, but decisively took out the two incomplete maps, handed them to Chen Ze respectfully and said: "Just now I was just a little confused, you seem to know me very well..."
His attitude was very respectful. He held the incomplete map in both hands, bent slightly, and presented the incomplete map to Chen Ze.
"I have always been very accurate in judging people." Chen Ze said casually.
He took the incomplete map, took a look at it, and put it in his arms.
Hai Bodong didn't want to believe it.
But I can't find any reason to refute it.
Although he was still confused in his heart, he could only suppress these doubts temporarily and act according to Chen Ze's wishes.
After Chen Ze took the incomplete map, he immediately said: "Okay, you can go back now to increase your stake in the empire and make some preparations..."
As he spoke, Chen Ze looked at Hai Bodong and said meaningfully: "You can also use some of the forces you have trained. If you perform well, I will also give you rewards."
"Don't worry, sir." The moment Hai Bodong saw Chen Ze looking at him, he was almost certain that Chen Ze was not joking!
He knew in his heart that he had no secrets at all. Since he had chosen to serve Chen Ze, he had to behave well.
