Cave Refuge-Chapter 212 - 211: The Pitfall_1

With Robinson William’s status, he could receive a pound of meat per week. However, this little amount was insufficient even just for himself, let alone share with his family.

Sometimes, Ye Liuyun would bring some goodies to the Taylor family. Although Ye Liuyun always divided equally among them, it was never quite enough.

The feeling was like a person, who had been hungry for a long time, could still bear with it without food. But once he ate something, it wouldn’t suppress his hunger. Instead, he would feel more famished from his bones.

The food consumption of a Martial Artist is indeed enormous. Ye Liuyun initially didn’t believe it. But once he had prepared a substantial meal for Robinson William, he didn’t dare to prepare ingredients according to Robinson William’s intake.

Unlike Gold Martial Artists, Daxia Martial Artists could extract energy from food to accelerate their cultivation during their training period. Although there would be a certain limit according to their food intake, this rapid digestion method forced the originally big appetite Martial Artists, for cultivation, to eat more food.

Dong Tianyu, recalling the scenes that he witnessed when he emerged from the stairs, curiously asked Robinson William next to him: "Bro Le, I seldom come here, so what’s the situation here now? It seems like there are Inner Breath Realm Martial Artists, whom we used to hardly see, everywhere.

"The number of Martial Artists in the West City District has indeed increased quite a bit, but it’s not as crowded as you describe. You seem to forget where we are, a residential area for family members of the Special Operations Team. The Martial Artists you see are members of the Special Operations Team on shift relief. The ones practicing together just now were also members of the Special Operations Team.

"The number of Martial Artists in Pengcheng has increased a lot, probably because of the revival of Spirit Energy brought by the catastrophe. Anyway, it’s much easier to cultivate now than before. The difficulty of breaking through to Inner Breath Realm is far less than when I first broke through. Aren’t you also a Martial Artist? Haven’t you noticed that your cultivation speed is faster now than before?"

Indeed, Dong Tianyu had noticed that the concentration of Spirit Energy in the air was much higher than before. However, he didn’t think that Martial Artists could also consume Spirit Energy during their cultivation.

For Dong Tianyu, however, the concentration of Spirit Energy in the air was still too thin. So, compared to cultivating immortality, the Spirit Energy consumed by Martial Arts practice was not much.

"By the way, why has Ye Liuyun come back? With you here, who would dare attack his Private Sanctuary?"

Listening to Dong Tianyu’s words, Robinson William sighed and told him about the Officials’ declaration granting autonomy to Private Sanctuaries outside the city district. At the same time, he also mentioned that the Officials no longer offered protection to Private Sanctuaries.

Also, he curiously asked Dong Tianyu, "Bro, how are things on your side? Have you been attacked by other Martial Artists?"

Hearing Robinson William’s question, Dong Tianyu didn’t conceal anything and replied straightforwardly, "Not only are there, but quite a few. It’s only because it’s been peaceful these past two days that I have the time to come back."

Upon hearing Dong Tianyu’s words, Robinson William didn’t show any surprise. Instead, he casually responded, "Yeah, who doesn’t know that within the Nameless Mountain Sanctuary, there’s a sniper, and not a single Martial Artist who climbed up from the north has come down alive. I heard that a lot of Martial Artists have died over there. That place has become a Forbidden Zone for Martial Artists."

Listening to Robinson Williams’s sigh, Dong Tianyu smiled and didn’t say a word.

Seeing Dong Tianyu neither admitting nor denying, Robinson William knew that the rumors he’d just spoken of must be true.

He knew Dong Tianyu had a sniper rifle, a weapon he’d acquired from Ye Liuyun for exchange. But he hadn’t given Ye Liuyun many bullets at that time. When there were frequent sniper rifle shots at Nameless Mountain, he guessed that the source of the sound should be the sniper rifle he’d once sold.

After all, when he sold that sniper rifle, Ye Liuyun had told him the identity of the buyer, which was Robinson William.

At first, Robinson William thought that Dong Tianyu, having a gun but very few bullets, wouldn’t be much of a threat. But when the weather gradually warmed up and it was time to relocate the Ammunition Depot and check the quantity of bullets, he discovered that one fifth of the ammunition stored had disappeared without his knowledge.

This was quite significant, considering that the Ammunition Depot he was in control of was the largest in the West City District. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Although Robinson William knew that all these bullets might not have ended up in Dong Tianyu’s pocket, he also knew that although Dong Tianyu always dealt with Ye Liuyun openly, nobody knew what they did privately. And the accurate shooting skills Dong Tianyu and his team had mastered would have required a lot of ammunition for practice.

So Robinson William was certain that Dong Tianyu had a lot of firearms and ammunition.

Until now, Robinson William thought that Dong Tianyu was just one of the higher-ups or perhaps a frontman in the sanctuary where he resided.

On their way, the two of them were chatting, speaking mostly of some of Pengcheng’s semi-public affairs. Although ordinary survivors might not know these affairs, Martial Artists who wished to know could always ask around.

Most of the conversation was led by Robinson William, with Dong Tianyu chiming in, they laughed and joked all the way to the second basement floor. When Ye Liuyun accidentally spotted Dong Tianyu, he immediately ran over excitedly.

The "Duang~Duang" sound perfectly displayed Ye Liuyun’s plump figure.

Seeing Ye Liuyun about to hug him directly, Dong Tianyu sidestepped, pushing the unresponsive Robinson William into Ye Liuyun’s arms.

Ye Liuyun didn’t realize that he had hugged the wrong person. As soon as he felt a person in his arms, a naughty smile appeared on his face. He happily hit the man’s back hard while saying, "I’ve been waiting for a long time, and finally, today is the day."

The sound of patting one’s back came from Ye Liuyun, but he felt like his hands were hurting, as if he had hit a piece of steel instead.

"I’m also glad to meet you again." Hearing this familiar voice from the side, Ye Liuyun subconsciously turned his gaze and saw Dong Tianyu standing nearby with a mischievous grin on his face.

Once he confirmed with his eyes that Dong Tianyu was standing by the side, Ye Liuyun realized that he had hugged the wrong person.

At this moment, a temporary amnesia occurred to Ye Liuyun. He suddenly forgot who had come with Dong Tianyu.

As Ye Liuyun was racking his brain about this, a severe pain came from his back, "Bro, so this is how you greet others."

Listening to the voice that had been familiar since childhood, a bitter smile appeared on Ye Liuyun’s face.

"Damn, I am going to bleed a fortune this time."

Although Robinson William and Ye Liuyun were brothers by blood, Robinson William had been tricking Ye Liuyun since they were little.
