Liu Mang and Li Dapang returned from the jungle before long.
Liu Mang was carrying a serpent at least six meters long, and he had also picked a large bag full of wild berries, vegetables, and mushrooms.
Li Dapang carried a wild boar that weighed about two hundred kilograms on his back and held a deer in his hands; both men returned loaded with spoils.
After returning to the lakeside, they handed over their haul to some mercenaries to clean, and Liu Mang and Li Dapang went to the lake to wash up.
After washing their faces, Liu Mang sat cross-legged on a patch of pebbles on the shore and took out a small package he had gotten from that bastard Tu Yue back in Zi You Valley.
The package was not big, securely sealed, and wrapped tightly.
Once opened, Liu Mang could see what was inside—a scroll, two Spirit-imbued Stones, and some miscellaneous items.
