Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 205: Promise (2721 additional chapters)



He hadn't learned the ability of Ghost Fire.

It seemed that he could only steal two abilities at a time.

One shouldn't be too greedy.

The spoils of this battle had been snatched by Li Bai.

It was a pair of boots.

It was also a Magical Treasure.

After being equipped, it could greatly enhance the mobility of the Ghost Guys.

For normal humans, they had to refine it before they could equip it.

"It's not a fair distribution!"

"Logically, it should have been our turn to get the Magical Treasure!"

"Exactly, Li Bai, just hand over the item!"

Bald Qiang's followers were somewhat displeased.

"You don't have to follow me!" Li Bai tossed the boots into the storage space of his wristwatch.

The wristwatches of these big shots were surely already filled with various APPs, some possibly universal, others possibly only in certain related scripts.

Like Li Bai, he might have the Exploration APP and storage APP.

Of course, it could also be script-universal exploration-type or storage-type Magical Treasures, or skills in those areas.

Everyone's encounters in the scripts are different, so the abilities they possess are definitely also different.

But like Li Teng, spending a lifetime's time in one script, repeating the same task day after day, almost to his own death, probably not many do that, maybe he's the only one.

Having dealt with that summoning-type Evil Ghost Boss, Li Bai continued pressing on to the next mountain top.

The others, including Bald Qiang and his followers, unspokenly followed suit.

Li Teng of course followed as well.

"Young brother, you've been following for so long, not even touching a single Ghost Coin, what's the point of following us?" Bald Qiang, idle and bored, deliberately fell back to chat with Li Teng.

"I'm learning," Li Teng replied to Bald Qiang.

"Learning what?"

"Learning your superb battle skills."

"Oh, so you can learn battle skills like this? Young brother, you really are an expert!" Bald Qiang gave Li Teng a thumbs up.

The other people ahead started laughing heartily together.

Having all been newcomers themselves, they could somewhat understand Li Teng's embarrassment.

If he didn't follow, he couldn't do anything by himself.

If he did follow, he wasn't likely to share in any spoils.

But by following, at least he could make himself known, and perhaps after the protection period ended, as long as the other Actors weren't too vicious, they wouldn't attack him.

After all, killing him wouldn't benefit them at all.

This time, Li Bai came to a huge rock.

The rock was more than ten meters above the ground, and no one could see what was atop it.

Li Bai leaped onto the rock.

Xiang Yu, Han Xin, and others also showed their supernatural abilities and got to the top of the rock.

"Going up?" Bald Qiang's followers saw that he hadn't moved and asked him.

"Of course, going up." Bald Qiang responded.

Bear Big, Bear Two, and Cui Hua also climbed to the top of the rock in succession.

Li Teng arrived at the side of the rock, looked up, and started wondering how to get up there.

He could certainly use the skill of instant teleportation to appear on top of the rock.

But it seemed that the time wasn't right yet to reveal his strength.

Such a smooth rock arm, it's a bit difficult to climb up!

When he just got to the bottom of the rock, his peak state had ended, and he needed to recharge some life resources.

"Let me help you up then." Bald Qiang placed his hand on Li Teng's back, a strong suction coming from his palm.

Li Teng instinctively wanted to resist, but without being in his peak state, he was powerless and could only let Bald Qiang take him up to the platform above the rock.

After reaching the platform, Bald Qiang withdrew the suction from his palm and walked over to Bear Big, Bear Two, and the others.

Just in that instant, Bald Qiang had already figured it out. Li Teng had absolutely no traces of inner strength within his body and was extremely weak, as weak as an elderly man.

He indeed hadn't hidden his strength and must have been relying purely on his willpower to keep up with the group without getting lost.

Above the rock was a stone platform with two protruding stones but no evil ghost boss as imagined.

"What's the matter, Li Bai, bringing us here? Isn't it dueling time yet?" Bald Qiang felt a bit puzzled.

"The time is about right, it's time to eat. After eating, we'll digest and then continue the afternoon's fight." Li Bai pulled out several large pieces of roasted meat and wine from his storage space and tossed them to Xiang Yu and Han Xin.

After a moment's thought, Li Bai glanced at Li Teng, hesitated for a moment, and then took out another piece of roast and threw it to Li Teng.

Li Teng was indeed hungry, he caught the roasted meat and bit into it with a big bite.

Bald Qiang also took out some food and shared it with his followers.

"You really dare to eat the meat he gave you? Aren't you afraid it's poisoned?" Bald Qiang continued to tease Li Teng in his boredom.

"I trust his character, and besides, there is a promise between us." Li Teng shook his head.

Li Bai frowned… A promise?

"Oh? What promise?" Bald Qiang found this young man increasingly interesting.

"When I first came in, I was surrounded and beaten by a group of men in black. He helped me get away, and then he even gave me a knife, I owe him my gratitude. I promised him that as long as he doesn't betray or kill me, if he's ever in danger, I'll definitely save his life." Li Teng answered Bald Qiang very seriously.

The people present couldn't hold back upon hearing Li Teng's words and burst into laughter once again.

Hearing him say that, everyone more or less understood the situation.

Probably, Li Teng and Li Bai entered the storyline not far from each other's birthplaces. Li Bai casually eliminated a few minor monsters, inadvertently helping Li Teng, or perhaps Li Teng presumptuously thought Li Bai had helped him, so he ended up following Li Bai around. Li Bai got this broken knife which he probably didn't even want to take up space in his storage, so when Li Teng wanted it, he just threw it at Li Teng like it was trash.

The key thing was this young man actually speaking of saving Li Bai's life seemed to have a comedic effect.

"Well, I just helped you onto this stone platform, hmm, and gave you a roast lamb leg, not to mention due to a favor, let's call it a gesture of goodwill. Would you then make a promise to me?" Bald Qiang took out a roast lamb leg and threw it to Li Teng.

"First come, first served. I didn't meet you as early as I met him, and besides, it seems like you and he are inevitably going to battle. So, I can only promise you, if I ever have a chance to kill you, I will spare you once and then consider taking your life later." After pondering for a while, Li Teng seriously answered Bald Qiang as he caught the roast lamb leg.

"Amitabha, the glory of Buddha! Thanks for Master Li's grace of not killing me!" Bald Qiang exaggeratedly clasped his hands together and bowed towards the sky.

Everyone burst out laughing once again.

The things Li Teng had said might seem like jokes meant to amuse others if they had come from someone else, but Li Teng had been strictly serious about everything he did along the way, making people feel that he was seriously speaking about these matters and truly believed them in his heart.

The comedic effect of the contradiction emerged just like that.

"Don't laugh, I'm serious. I mean what I say." Li Teng murmured very softly while eating the roast lamb leg.
