The Strongest War God

Chapter 1167: A Foolish Man in Love

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“I don’t quite understand. Where is your home?”

The green-dressed girl could only guess and spoke English with a slight awkwardness.

Luke Yates waved a bamboo pole, howling, “I’m hungry!”

“Hungry? Come!”

The green-dressed girl let Luke and Braydon Neal follow her into the bamboo forest.

After going deep into the bamboo forest for a hundred miles, they arrived at a quiet flower valley.

The valley was full of flowers and plants, with three to five wooden houses covering the area, emitting a fragrant scent as if it were a paradise.

However, when Braydon arrived, he felt a terrible sense of crisis.

This sense of danger seemed to take their lives in an instant.

As if someone was secretly watching!

Braydon’s sharp eyes inadvertently looked toward the far side of the flower valley, where there was a hundred-meter-tall green and white bamboo, its leaves lush and vibrant, exuding an astonishing vitality.

The danger Braydon sensed came from this bamboo.

Gracefully, the green-dressed girl approached and spoke to the bamboo as if communicating in its native language.

However, it provoked the bamboo’s anger!

Two bamboo leaves, as long as three feet and sharp as swords, rushed toward Braydon.

The green-dressed girl’s face revealed anxiety as she flew in front of the bamboo, her eyes revealing stubbornness. With puffed cheeks, she seemed to disallow the bamboo from doing so.

The ancient bamboo swayed slightly, and the two green leaves seemed to lose control, falling instantly to the ground.

The green-dressed girl turned around with an apologetic expression.

She took out an ancient book from the wooden house, containing English characters.

Luke approached casually and said, “New English Dictionary?”

“Sorry, Grandpa Bamboo is very good!”

The girl flipped through the ancient book, as if she had learned English from it. She added, “Grandpa Bamboo is good, but he doesn’t like outsiders, especially martial artists. He said you are very dangerous and bad!”

“I never bully girls!”

Luke immediately whitewashed himself, forgetting to include his brother Braydon.

Braydon asked softly, “Is this bamboo spiritually awakened?”

“We call them guardians. Many small villages will make offerings to guardians. With a guardian in the village, they can avoid attacks from spirit beasts.”

The girl, Jada, explained the relationship between the aborigines and the plant demons, as well as their relationship with spirit beasts.

In the ruins, even the relationship between the aborigines and spirit beasts seemed to be as hostile as fire and water.

Both sides regarded each other as food.

Luke curiously asked, “What’s your name?”

“Jada!”

It was unclear whether the girl chose this name for herself or translated it from the book.

Luke muttered, “You must have a surname!”

“I’m just called Jada. Aren’t you hungry? Come, eat!”

Jada brought out a plate of spirit fruits from the room.

Luke didn’t hesitate to pick up a green fruit and took a big bite, then asked, “Is there any meat?”

“No!”

Jada supported her cheeks with both hands, sitting on a chair, watching Luke eat spirit fruits with a slight shake of her head.

It was as if she didn’t eat meat.

However, Braydon felt that this place was not safe and whispered, “Rest for a while, and then we’ll leave.”

“Or maybe we can leave tomorrow?”

Luke began to test his brother’s attitude.

Generally, as long as Luke didn’t want to do something, he would bluntly say it.

But now, he had learned to test Braydon.

It meant that Luke had other thoughts in his mind.

It was not that he had become more cunning; he was just thinking about something else.

Braydon narrowed his eyes and stared at Luke, as if trying to see through his brother’s heart.

Because Braydon suspected that Luke was interested in Jada.

The girl was from the ruins; both of them were not the same kind.

Although the aborigines had a human form, their internal structure was completely different from humans.

If Luke wanted to be with the aborigine, Braydon would find it difficult to accept that.

Braydon, as the elder brother, had always had a special place.

Since ancient times, the elder brother was like a father.

Little Fool was someone Braydon had protected since childhood. If Little Fool truly liked a girl, it was Braydon who would step forward to propose.

Braydon had the qualifications and the responsibility!

Among the Northern Army brothers, no matter who it was, no one dared to tell Braydon that he shouldn’t interfere in their affairs. Anyone who dared to utter such hurtful words, without Braydon taking action, the other Northern Army brothers would beat him up.

Even Harvey Lay wouldn’t dare to say anything.

They wouldn’t dare to hurt Braydon’s feelings.

Only they know how much Braydon had protected them and helped them grow up, enduring many hardships in their younger years.

If it weren’t for them, Braydon’s life over these years would have been much easier.

In a broader sense, if Braydon treated them as subordinates, not regarding them as his own, not protecting them like younger brothers, Braydon’s life over these years would have been even more peaceful.

But Braydon never treated them as subordinates, but rather protected them like younger brothers.

At this moment, Little Fool started to act like a spoiled child, saying softly, “Brother, it’s too far from the ancient city here. If we walk back step by step, who knows how long it will take. We might not even get a good night’s sleep later. Let’s rest here for a day.”

“I think you’ve been blinded by lust!”

Braydon stood up with his hands behind his back and reprimanded coldly.

Braydon saw through Little Fool’s thoughts at a glance.

Sometimes, Braydon couldn’t overly indulge Little Fool.

The aborigines were off-limits for the Northern Army brothers.

Little Fool suddenly became timid as he cowered and muttered softly, “Why do you have to scold me?”

“It’s safe here!”

Seeing the two brothers quarreling, the girl Jada quickly explained.

Braydon turned around and said softly, “Miss, I understand your good intentions. I appreciate it. Today, both Little Fool and I will remember your kindness. We won’t repay kindness with enmity, nor will we do anything to harm you. But your elders may not necessarily harbor no hostility toward us.”

This was the reason Braydon wanted to leave!

To open up an endless bamboo forest in the wilderness, where there were no spirit beasts, what kind of place was this?

It was a restricted area!

Braydon had seen such a restricted area once. It was an ancient forest.

There were terrifying creatures dwelling in it.

It was probably the same now.

Although Braydon didn’t understand why there was no fluctuation of power on Jada.

Perhaps she hadn’t practiced martial arts of any kind.

Jada’s father was probably a giant in the ruins, definitely not someone to mess with.

Once such a giant returned and saw Braydon and Little Fool, what actions would he take?

No one knew!

Jada innocently said, “You don’t need to be afraid. My father and mother took my brothers to visit someone. It will take a few months before they return.”

“Brother, you see, you’re overthinking it.”

Little Fool looked indifferent.

But Braydon felt uneasy.

He knew too little about the ruins.

Today was his first time entering the ruins, and he was not familiar with the overall environment of the ruins or the various restricted areas.

But one thing was certain, the ruins were extremely dangerous!

The ruins had aborigines.

The martial artists were outsiders, so the two sides had definitely clashed before.
