Chapter 79

"Ha ha, it's all good. Look at me, full of energy and vigor, a true hero once again."

With his injuries fully healed, Li Wucheng sprang up with a single leap.

Rushing into the Mongol army to assassinate Mongke, Li Wucheng had been mentally prepared for severe injuries, but he hadn't expected the pain from the sword and spear wounds to be so unbearable.

However, Li Wucheng had a fierce determination in his bones, and he ultimately persevered, slaying Mongke and reaping a rich reward—a silver treasure chest.

This silver treasure chest was the best quality chest Li Wucheng had obtained so far. The items inside would surely not disappoint him.

Checking the spatial mark, all three tasks were completed, earning him a total of 9,000 main god points. Adding the 5,000 main god points from the hidden task, he had a total of 14,000 main god points.

These were not the main rewards, though. Li Wucheng's greater gains were a silver treasure chest, two bronze treasure chests, three black iron treasure chests, and several wooden treasure chests.

The black iron and wooden treasure chests were not much, but the two bronze treasure chests yielded quite a lot.

Xiao Leng's bronze treasure chest contained the Ghostly Teleportation, Asura World-Ending Blade, and如意幻魔手 (Ruyi Illusory Demon Hand), along with the Hai Ruo Blade.

Bo Yan's bronze treasure chest contained the Asura World-Ending Blade, Light Thunder Finger, and Divine Arrow Technique, fulfilling Li Wucheng's wish to obtain the Light Thunder Finger.

When he placed the silver treasure chest in front of him, Li Wucheng's breathing became rapid, and his heart was filled with anticipation. What kind of items would this treasure chest contain?

Opening the silver treasure chest, he found five items inside: three gold ingots and two tokens, their golden and dark gleams intertwining.

The three gold ingots were marked as valuable items, each worth 10,000 main god points, clearly not ordinary gold ingots.

These valuable gold ingots were essentially equivalent to main god points, with no other use, so Li Wucheng exchanged them without hesitation.

Treasure chests often contained three types of valuable coins: gold ingots, silver ingots, and knife coins. One gold ingot could be exchanged for 10,000 main god points, one silver ingot for 1,000 main god points, and one knife coin for just one main god point.

The two tokens, aside from the gold ingots, were a military token and a horse token. Li Wucheng picked up the horse token, and upon activation, a magnificent steed appeared before him.

This steed, named "Zhuri," could travel a thousand miles in a day and eight hundred at night, covering two thousand miles in a day and night, making it a true thousand-mile horse.

"Neigh!"

Li Wucheng approached, wanting to get close to Zhuri, but it showed no affection, even disdainfully nudging him with its head.

Li Wucheng slightly swayed his upper body to avoid the nudge and laughed, "You beast, you still dare to be disobedient? Watch me tame you."

Whether or not it understood, Zhuri looked angry, snorting and exhaling two streams of water vapor from its large nostrils.

Rearing up on its front hooves, it kicked forcefully towards Li Wucheng. If it had hit him, it would have knocked him over.

Li Wucheng leaped lightly, floating in the air, his hand pressing down on Zhuri's back. With a slight effort, he pinned Zhuri, making it unable to move.

Zhuri, unwilling to submit, struggled fiercely, but as Li Wucheng's grip tightened, it gradually could not bear the pressure, finally kneeling on all fours and letting out a pained whinny.

"You finally submit, huh?"

Li Wucheng released his hand, stroking Zhuri's large head and smiling.

"Humph, humph."

Zhuri snorted, shook its head, and brought its head close to Li Wucheng, rubbing against him.

After playing with Zhuri for a while and building some affection, once it fully accepted him, Li Wucheng returned Zhuri to the horse token.

Picking up the last item from the treasure chest, a military token, it could summon up to ten soldiers and command them in battle, with orders being carried out immediately.

"I don't need this now, but I'll keep it for later."

Li Wucheng muttered to himself and put the military token away.

After greeting the main god, Li Wucheng returned to the real world, appearing on his bed. Without a word, he fell asleep immediately.

In the world of Iron-Blooded Hero, it had only been about a month, not too long, but to Li Wucheng, it felt like a year, exhausting him.

The thousand-mile journey, following Liang Wenjing and protecting his safety, was not too much of a burden, though it was tough.

The final battle, where he charged in and out of the Mongol army multiple times, was the most exhausting. After slaying Mongke, Li Wucheng's internal energy and physical strength were completely drained, and he had lost a lot of blood, leaving him extremely weak.

This weakness was not just physical but also mental, and he needed a good rest to recover.

He slept deeply, and when he finally awoke, his head still felt a bit groggy. He wanted to wash his face to refresh himself but noticed his phone was flashing.

In today's world of widespread smartphones, the price of branded phones was too high for Li Wucheng, so he had only bought a regular phone for a few hundred dollars.

Opening his phone and swiping the screen to check the messages, he saw a message that made his brows furrow.

"Bro, I've been kidnapped, please help, Yuncong."

As a migrant in Beijing, Li Wucheng's life was not easy, but he was not alone in the city; he had a younger brother.

Li Wucheng's younger brother, Li Yuncong, was his half-brother, and their relationship was not very good. Li Wucheng did not even have Li Yuncong's phone number saved in his phone.

Li Wucheng's parents had divorced when he was very young, and he had been raised by his grandparents. After they passed away when he was in college, he was left alone, like an orphan.

Growing up strong, Li Wucheng's relationship with his parents had always been poor, and he had not been in contact with them for a long time. Even though Li Yuncong was in college in Beijing, Li Wucheng had not communicated with him much.

Seeing the message, Li Wucheng's first reaction was that it was a prank, but upon further thought, this was highly unlikely. Their relationship was not good, and they were more like familiar strangers. If it wasn't a real emergency, he wouldn't joke with him.

Having determined this, the next question was whether to save him or not. According to his initial angry thoughts, Li Wucheng would absolutely not want to save him, but this thought was quickly suppressed.

No matter how much he had hated him in the past, Li Yuncong was his brother, a fact that could not be denied. Could he really stand by and do nothing when his life was on the line?
