Chapter 1327: Facing the Snow Mountain Divine Eagle
The Snow Mountain Divine Eagle had returned.
He arrived at the camp, his steps somewhat unsteady, with traces of blood still un-wiped at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing him in this state, everyone's faces paled with worry, because the Snow Mountain Divine Eagle was the very foundation of the resistance army's existence.
If anything happened to him, the resistance army would be finished.
Bamo and Drolma hurried over to him.
"Big Brother Luozhuo, are you alright?"
The Snow Mountain Divine Eagle, Luozhuo, clutched his chest, a smile appearing on his face beneath the mask.
"Hiss—truly formidable! As expected of the Lord of the Charnel Ground from Sangha Monastery, far stronger than I am."
He could actually still laugh at this moment."Fortunately, I ran fast. He didn't kill me, hahaha!"
Bamo and Drolma's expressions were both very grim.
"He really tried to kill you?"
Luozhuo shook his head. "No. If he truly wanted to kill me, I wouldn't have survived. That guy has practiced Buddhist teachings his whole life, he wouldn't even step on an ant, so how could he kill me?"
Only then did Bamo and Drolma breathe a sigh of relief.
Thinking of that Lord of the Charnel Ground, Drolma snorted coldly.
"He can't bear to step on an ant, yet he can bear to watch the great chieftain families of the West run amok? What Lord of the Charnel Ground, I really don't know why the previous Lord of the Charnel Ground designated him as the successor!"
Frowning, Bamo scolded Drolma, "Drolma, don't talk nonsense! Every Lord of the Charnel Ground is the reincarnation of the previous one."
"Perhaps he has his own difficulties too. I think he's just been deceived by Deji for too long. Sooner or later, he will awaken."
Drolma snorted coldly, "Wait for him to awaken? Spending all day with jackals and wolves, I'm afraid he'll only sink deeper!"
Luozhuo laughed, "Alright, my body isn't seriously injured, I'll recover after a few days of rest. By the way, I haven't greeted our guests yet!"
Only then did Liang Yue and Mu Yan step forward to meet Luozhuo.
He wore a black mask on his face, which looked quite mysterious, but his voice sounded very young.
It made one involuntarily want to lift the mask from his face and catch a glimpse of his true appearance.
The two greeted Luozhuo.
Luozhuo, however, bowed seriously, expressing his gratitude to them.
"Respected guests from afar, thank you for your help. If not for your covert intervention, our rescue operation wouldn't have gone so smoothly."
Liang Yue waved her hand, "No need to be polite. After all, we also have our demands."
Straightening up, Luozhuo smiled candidly, "I will meet your boss as agreed. However, I think this isn't the first time we've met."
Drolma called for a medical superhuman to help treat Luozhuo.
And not long after, Zhang Yi, who had received Liang Yue's location, arrived.
When he appeared amidst the mountain range, Luozhuo had already sensed him through the eagle flock.
He didn't continue his treatment. Instead, he threw on his clothes and went outside the cave to wait.
Zhang Yi arrived. His abrupt appearance from the air did surprise Luozhuo a bit.
"Spatial-type ability?"
Zhang Yi looked at the masked Snow Mountain Divine Eagle before him and asked plainly, "Are you the Snow Mountain Divine Eagle?"
Luozhuo nodded and smiled, "Yes, that's me. Thank you for your help. I just don't know what your purpose is for wanting to see me?"
Liang Yue and the others stood nearby, watching quietly.
They very consciously did not participate in the conversation between the two bosses.
"Let's talk somewhere else!"
Zhang Yi said, "I prefer quiet."
Many resistance army members around were curiously sizing up Zhang Yi, which made him uncomfortable.
Upon hearing this, Luozhuo politely invited him into the camp.
The camp was dim and damp. Even though it was daytime, the light was still very faint. Zhang Yi had to turn on his night vision device to see his surroundings clearly.
Soon, they arrived at the command center.
This was one of the few places that could be considered suitable for receiving guests.
It was a small room with only a table and a few chairs in the middle. A map of the Southwest Region hung on the wall, marked with important locations using tags.
Zhang Yi noticed that the locations marked for the major chieftain families all had a bright red 【X】 drawn on them.
"The conditions here are limited, please don't mind. Have a seat!"
Luozhuo pointed to a chair and said to Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi sat down. The door was closed, leaving only the two of them inside.
Liang Yue and the others were guarding outside to prevent anyone from disturbing them.
"Now, can you state your purpose, sir? I am willing to believe you are kind-hearted, but for you to help us at the risk of offending Sangha Monastery and the great chieftains of the West, this couldn't possibly be purely out of your good nature."
Luozhuo smiled as he spoke to Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi could tell that this guy wasn't old, perhaps even a few years younger than himself.
But he was sunny. His voice was clear and crisp, without a trace of repression, as if his heart was always full of hope.
Even in such a harsh and difficult environment.
Looking at the man before him, Zhang Yi actually had many questions he wanted to ask.
His understanding of the Southwest Region mostly came from the intelligence provided by Pagyi Gesang.
But listening to only one side leads to darkness; he wouldn't trust the words of just one party.
Zhang Yi gently tapped the wooden table with his hand, staring at him as he asked, "You actually managed to survive under the Lord of the Charnel Ground, that's quite extraordinary! Do you two know each other?"
Hearing this, Luozhuo was about to say something when Zhang Yi interrupted him.
"You can answer that you don't want to say. But please don't lie to me. After all, we risked making an enemy of the entire Southwest Region to help your resistance army rescue people."
Faced with Zhang Yi's seemingly all-penetrating gaze, Luozhuo gave a wry smile.
He nodded, "We do know each other, and we're quite familiar, actually."
Zhang Yi nodded, "No wonder! That's what I thought. If he didn't recognize you, even if he didn't kill you, he would have captured you to eliminate evil like he did with Bamo. How could he have let you go?"
That being the case, everything could be explained clearly.
A faint, deep glint flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
Since they were acquaintances, then things would be easier.
"Now, I want to hear from you, the leader of the resistance army standing against the great chieftains of the West and Sangha Monastery, personally tell me about the situation in the Southwest Region."
"So that's what you want to know? Easy, easy. I'll explain it to you truthfully and in detail."
Luozhuo laughed, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.
This scene caught Zhang Yi's attention.
His teeth were very white and even, and his speech and demeanor were quite refined, so he didn't seem like a child from an ordinary family.
Luozhuo seemed to enjoy talking. He began to talk incessantly to Zhang Yi about the state of the Southwest Region after the apocalypse.
Most of it matched what Pagyi Gesang had said.
Nothing more than the extreme cold arriving, large-scale population disappearance, livestock freezing to death, and the Mass Extinction Event.
But later on, some discrepancies began to appear.
