The Nine Cauldrons

Book 7 Chapter 30 The Only Good News

The smell of corpses pervaded the air, and the surrounding was filled with thick smoke and remains of the blaze; the scene was a nightmare.

Teng Qingshan was reading the words in the book.

“I already know that the writing of the Northern Sea Continent is different from the writing of the Nine Prefectures. However, I am also worried about another thing… the language of the Nine Prefectures and the language of the Northern Sea Continent might be different!” Teng Qingshan was slightly worried.

When Li Jun heard him, she hastily said, “Right. I heard that even the language of some kingdoms in the western regions is different from that of the Nine Prefectures. The Northern Sea Continent is a lot farther away from the western region.”

Teng Qingshan nodded.

Although the Nine Prefectures use the same language, but there are still variation due to regional differences.

“Big Brother Teng.” Li Jun hastily comforted. “However, don’t worry too much. The Bright Moon Island is also very far away from the Land of the Nine Prefectures, but the language of the Bright Moon Island is the same as that of the Nine Prefectures. Maybe it’s the same with the Northern Sea Continent!’

Teng Qingshan held the badly damaged book and said with a smile, “Why am I worrying! At worst, I can just spend some time to learn!”

As a super powerful hitman of the World of Darkness in his previous life, Teng Qingshan was fluent in several languages. He underwent a compulsive training of the hitmen organization when he was learning the languages and grasped some tricks to it.

“Learn?” Li Jun nodded and giggled. “It probably won’t be as hard as the languages of demonic beasts! I learned the languages of demonic beasts within a few months, thus, I can definitely learn the language of the Northern Sea Continent in a short time.”

“Yes. Let’s go! We can’t read the words, thus, even if we got the book, it’s still useless.” Teng Qingshan held the badly damaged book in his hand.

Immediately, Teng Qingshan and Li Jun headed towards the location of the tungsten wood vessel.

Teng Qingshan followed the houses here, but when they left, Teng Qingshan went straight, broke through the bramble and thistle and headed towards the tungsten wood vessel.

After a while.

“Eh? There is another colony here?” Teng Qingshan stared at the great number of razed wooden houses and corpses on the spacious area in front.

“These people are too cruel; they won’t even let the old people, women, and kids go.” Li Jun clenched her fist as her face revealed rage.

“Someone is still alive!” Teng Qingshan’s eyes suddenly brightened. He could sense the weak breathing sounds.

“Someone’s alive?” Li Jun was also astonished.

“Yes.” Teng Qingshan directed his gaze towards a few corpses near a ruined wooden house in front and immediately walked over. He moved away the first two corpses on the top and discovered a skinny and pale little girl with a scar on her face.

There were bloodstains on her worn out cotton-padded jacket.

With Teng Qingshan’s acute senses, he could hear the extremely weak breathing sound clearly. He then stretched his palm and placed it on the little girl’s back. Immediately, a gentle-looking blue watercolor glow flowed into the little girl’s body.

The Internal Supreme Force was better at maintaining good health and healing than the Innate True Origin.

“En.” The little girl’s face, which was as pale as a corpse, became slightly better, however, it was still very pallid. She emitted a weak sound through her nose as she opened her dry and chapped lips.

“Little Jun, bring some water,” Teng Qingshan said.

However, Li Jun still stood at the side. Hearing no movements, Teng Qingshan couldn’t help but turn back. He saw Li Jun biting her lips with reddened eyes.

“Little Jun?” Teng Qingshan shouted.

Li Jun immediately came back to her senses.

“Go get some water,” Teng Qingshan instructed. He knew that at this moment, it would be better to not let Li Jun think too much about it. “Okay.” Li Jun scrutinized the surrounding and soon saw a wooden bucket filled with water nearby.

A corpse of a woman lied beside the wooden bucket.

Li Jun immediately ladled out a scoop of water and scurried over in careful steps, worrying that the water might spill.

“Big Brother Teng, is she alright?” Li Jun was slightly worried.
