"Brother Hunter, are you still planning to deal with the Skeleton Gang? Don't you know that even in Poyang City, the Skeleton Gang is considered one of the top forces? Even the City Lord's Mansion has to give them some face. The Tianlang Gang is strong, but compared to the Skeleton Gang, they're nothing," Liu Huihui said, taking the damp cloth Hunter Liu handed him and wrapping it around his face to block the thick smoke. Upon hearing that Hunter Liu intended to deal with the Skeleton Gang, Liu Huihui nearly ripped the cloth off his face, his wide eyes filled with shock.
To Liu Huihui, if Hunter Liu wanted to take on the Tianlang Gang, it might seem like overestimating himself. However, if he was going after the Skeleton Gang, it was an impossible task, akin to an ant shaking a tree—there was no way they could succeed.
Hunter Liu chuckled softly. "Compared to us, the Skeleton Gang is indeed an overwhelming force. But an ant can still kill an elephant, as long as the method is right. We can destroy the Skeleton Gang too, if we do it properly."
In Hunter Liu's mind, he was planning to personally take action and destroy the Skeleton Gang with his own strength. But he wasn't willing to say this out loud. After all, no matter how brilliant he had been in his past life on Earth, in the Huaxing Continent, he was still far from being much stronger than an ordinary person.
In the Huaxing Continent, cultivation was the only measure of strength. Other variables played little role in comparison. And currently, Hunter Liu's cultivation level was only at the eighth stage of Body Refining, which, relatively speaking, placed him at the bottom of the ladder in this world.
Not continuing the conversation, Hunter Liu placed the damp cloth over his face, his eyes peering through the trees as he gazed outside. He said nothing, but his expression became serious.
Liu Huihui saw the change in Hunter Liu's demeanor and didn't speak further. He lowered his head and seemed lost in thought.
The fire around them was growing larger, spreading to over ten meters in no time. The forest covered only a few thousand meters, and with more than ten meters already burning, and given that Hunter Liu had intentionally set the fire, it was clear the entire forest would soon be consumed.
However, Hunter Liu was confident that within a short time, over a hundred lives would be lost in the flames.
Suddenly, Hunter Liu narrowed his eyes, as he vaguely sensed the sound of horse hooves approaching from a distance.
"Are they coming?"
Though he hadn't seen anyone from the Tianlang Gang yet, Hunter Liu was certain they would be here soon.
"Huihui, I'll make it clear to you— the safety of everyone in the village is in your hands. If you don't take action later, it will bring a devastating blow to our village."
Hunter Liu glanced at the silent Liu Huihui. His tone was indifferent as he continued, "I won't say more. I'm opening the box now."
With that, Hunter Liu opened the wooden box in his hands, revealing an exquisite jade bottle inside.
Liu Huihui, whose face had shown a hint of struggle earlier, became curious upon seeing the jade bottle. "Brother Hunter, what is this?"
"Bewitching drug…" Hunter Liu didn't even turn around. He walked toward a large tree that was already on fire.
Liu Huihui's face lit up with excitement. "Brother Hunter, you even have this? Does that mean we can use it to knock out the entire Tianlang Gang?"
Hunter Liu's tone remained indifferent. "Otherwise, do you think you'll be able to kill them?"
Liu Huihui froze, immediately understanding, and his face turned bitter again. "So, making them faint isn't enough?"
"I've said all I need to. You can decide what to do next."
With that, Hunter Liu opened the jade bottle, tightened the cloth on his face, and poured the white powder from the bottle onto the burning tree.
"Boom…"
The flames on the large tree didn't grow any stronger, but a thicker smoke billowed out from the flames and began to spread with the wind.
"The direction is correct. Now we just need to wait for the Tianlang Gang to arrive," Hunter Liu said, watching the drifting smoke with a cold gaze.
Seeing Hunter Liu's expression, Liu Huihui stepped closer to him, furrowing his brows.
"Boom, boom... boom, boom…"
Not long after, the sound of galloping hooves echoed in the distance, accompanied by an angry voice, "Damn it, speed it up! If you're any slower, the whole mountain will be burned down! We'll lose all face for the Tianlang Gang!"
Upon hearing this, Hunter Liu glanced at Liu Huihui. Then his eyes narrowed slightly, and a murderous intent shot out like a streak of light.
This was the first time he was about to take action in the Huaxing Continent—not for any other reason, but to protect his loved ones from harm.
