“So they really…killed Rus!”

Geli looked at Su Lu with complex eyes.

With such strength, he could surely shake the underworld of Kangni State, right? How had she never heard of this man before?

“Rus was a class B fugitive of the Federation, along with other private bounties, the bounty is up to five hundred golden dragons, you claim it, I want half!”

But Su Lu had no such feelings, he happily looked at the increase in the experience points, and said to Geli.

“No no! I only assisted from the side, taking half is too much!”

Geli hurriedly shook her head, she was utterly unable to intervene in the fight between Su Lu and Rus.

“No…you divide half, it is because of the dangers after claiming the bounty!” Su Lu waved his hand.

The Gered gang is not only composed of Rus, once Geli’s hunting of Rus becomes known, they’ll definitely face mad retaliation from the latter!

From this danger point of view, taking half is worth it.

“Well…okay! But the average small town bar may not have five hundred gold dragon’s worth of reserves… We have to go to the city, directly find the police station and bank…”

Geli calculated silently.

With such a large sum of income, the expenditure for purchasing the information for the second-order profession of [Cavalry] would be just enough.

As for potential retaliation? She wasn’t bothered at all.

Working as a bounty hunter, she had prepared for this a long time ago.

Moreover, after completing this mission, she was planning to rest for a while and best to advance to the second-order [Cavalry], in this way, even if she accidentally encountered danger on the plains, she would have the confidence to escape!

“So it is decided, you claim the bounty, then hand it to me.”

Su Lu laughed, guessing that the other party might go to Charles City. At this point, he returned to the camp and was stunned to see a bloody scene.

“Ah! You guys…”

Geli, who came with him, covered her mouth, looking at the bloody scene in front of her.

The female slaves had no one guarding them, they had surprisingly escaped, and armed with weapons, they had slaughtered everyone on the ground.

The bandits who were turned into vegetables by Su Lu had long become corpses with their blood flowing all over the ground.

At this moment, even when faced with their rescuer, their eyes were full of vigilance, tightly clutching the weapons in their hands.

“You…are free, go back through the canyon!”

Su Lu looked at the corpses on the ground, sighed, without saying anything else, he spoke using the Gulam Language.

These natives didn’t understand the common language, Gulam language was the only language they could communicate in, he had heard the chieftain shouting it.

In terms of ancient language studies, Geli was an illiterate, listening to Su Lu who could actually communicate with the Gaosuo people was a huge surprise to her, only then did she believe that Su Lu was not necessarily pretending to be a folk scholar.

She had no objection to the idea of letting them return on their own either.

She wasn’t a do-gooder, and seeing the hostility and vigilance in these women’s eyes, she wasn’t sure they would allow her to escort them. As for the danger they might encounter on the road? That was left to the arrangement of fate.

After listening to Su Lu’s words, there was commotion amongst the Gaosuo female slaves, after a while, the crowd parted and a girl who looked to be about eleven or twelve years old came out and replied in the Gulam language: “Outsiders! What is your purpose?”

“Not all outsiders are bad people!”

Su Lu’s eyes brightened when he saw this little girl.

At this time, he also realized that the language of the Gaosuo people may not necessarily be the Gulam language, this was the Mysterious Language, the most ancient language, and probably only the emperor and other military nobles in the Gaosuo tribe, as well as a few Priests and others will know.

But he didn’t understand the native Gaosuo language, so naturally, he could only communicate in this language.

But this little girl can actually speak Gulam language, she was either the daughter of the chief or an apprentice of a Priest, anyway, her background was very high.

“Outsiders invading our land, killing our people…are all bad people, they all deserve to be cursed!”

The little girl said in a low voice, her eyes , which should be innocent and naive, were actually filled with hatred.

Su Lu fell silent for a while.

“However… you saved the people of the Quark tribe, I will give you a reward to your satisfaction!”

The little girl obviously didn’t want to be indebted to anyone, she raised her small head and added.

“That’s exactly what I want… a potion that can enhance spiritual power or what you call willpower, consciousness!”

Su Lu immediately mentioned his intention.

The little girl paused, whispered some exchanges with several women around her, and nodded her head, “Okay!”

She turned around, revealing the black tattoo on her shoulder.

“Huh?”

Su Lu was surprised, only at this moment did he notice that her tattoo was quite unusual, formed by lots of black lines twisted like snakes, it was actually in Gulam language!

‘So the Priests of the Gaosuo people make use of tattoos as a way to pass on information, branding them on their apprentices? Is this a way of passing on information without paper?’

Su Lu got curious and quickly noted down the information that she willingly showed.

“Poisonous Potion: Blood of the two-tailed lizard, seeds of the Bitter Ding flower…”

The other party’s tattoo craftsmanship was very average, and the Gulam language was somewhat obscure, but Su Lu forced himself to remember everything he saw, preparing to go back and research it slowly.

“You can go now!”

After a few minutes, the girl turned back to face him, there was no hint of shyness on her dark face.

“Thank you!”

Su Lu politely thanked and turned to leave.

“By the way, I haven’t asked for your name yet?”

After taking a few steps, he suddenly turned back and asked politely.

“Maya!”

The little girl spat out two syllables, watching him leave.

“So that’s what you wanted?”

Geli who was standing next to him asked curiously.

She had no clue about the Gulam language, looking at the potion formula was the same as reading a divine book.

“Yes… what a pity!’

Su Lu sighed.

The girl’s tattoo covered her entire body, obviously, the [Witch Doctor]’s inheritance wasn’t just this, maybe there was even profession information.

But the little girl only showed him the part related to the potion, it was a bit of a pity.

‘And… the native people must have their heads screwed wrong, revealing their secrets in just two sentences… if I wanted more, I just have to kill a chieftain or a priest of a certain tribe, skin them, and it would be a ready-made secret book!’

‘No… if I were a Gaosuo, I would have this sense of caution… or, like a puzzle treasure, tattoo the most important information on different people?’

However, Su Lu had some integrity, after saving the people just now, he couldn’t immediately start killing.

Moreover, he didn’t care too much about the inheritance of the [Witch Doctor] or the [Totem Warrior], he had already chosen his path, which could lead him directly to the legend!

Just thinking about it here, he felt a chill.

He felt as if he had guess Gered’s aim.

‘The other party seems to be looking for something, could it be some sort of treasure map?’
