Chapter 874
Rubbing his chin, Chen Ang shook his head.
"I don't know if it eats people, but its physique must be huge, otherwise it couldn't kick out such a large footprint."
"Indeed, this beast has strong strength, otherwise it couldn't kick so deep," Huang Yu said from the side.
"Right, being able to kick so deep shows its strength is not shallow; it might be a Beast King."
Hearing the words "Beast King," everyone felt their scalps tingle a little.
In the wild, they were not afraid of beasts; what they feared most was the Beast King!
Because beasts usually act in groups, a small group is easily scattered, while a Beast King can lead thousands of beasts to conduct a large-scale and powerful battle. Although the Beast King does not often show its face, if one encounters a Beast King, it is truly the height of bad luck!
After circling the rock, Chen Ang called Wan Shitong over.
Trotting up, Wan Shitong asked somewhat nervously, "Boss, do you want me to find the whereabouts of the Beast King?"
Hearing his words, Chen Ang glanced at him.
"Going to find the Beast King's whereabouts alone, do you not want your life anymore?"
Hearing this, Wan Shitong let out a long breath and patted his chest: "As long as it's not asking me to find the Beast King, that's fine."
"Nonsense, of course not. I want you to kick this rock and see how much your strength differs from the Beast King's."
Understanding what he meant, Wan Shitong nodded repeatedly.
"No problem, you all step back a bit. This time I have to give it my all."
Hearing his words, the group scattered to avoid affecting his performance.
After brewing for a long time, Wan Shitong kicked out with all his might.
The group only heard a 'Bang', and many stone fragments came flying towards them.
Caught off guard, they could only wave their sleeves continuously to block the stone fragments.
Watching everyone in a flurry, Chen Ang directly released his dantian Qi to block all the stones for them.
When things were calm again, the group looked at the boulder in unison. When they saw the two footprints on the stone, their expressions were not very good.
The footprint Wan Shitong left was not shallow, but it was far shallower than the one left by the Beast King. Clearly, Wan Shitong's strength was below the Beast King's, and the gap in strength was vast; they simply could not fight it.
At this time, Chen Ang turned his head to look at Huang Yu and beckoned to him.
Understanding what he meant, Huang Yu hurriedly stepped forward quickly.
After he stepped forward, the group took a few more steps back.
After brewing for a while, Huang Yu kicked out fiercely.
This time, the group had experience and were not attacked by stone fragments, but their ears were a bit painful from the sound.
Seeing the footprint on the boulder again, the group's expressions eased somewhat.
Huang Yu's strength was above Wan Shitong's, so the footprint he left was naturally much deeper than his, looking about the same as the one left by the Beast King to the naked eye.
Chen Ang also seemed very satisfied with the footprint he left.
"Good strength, on par with the Beast King."
Hearing his words, Huang Yu also nodded with satisfaction.
"Being able to rival the Beast King's strength is my honor. Boss, I should be fine if I face it. How about I go scout the path first?"
"No, you are on par with the Beast King's strength, not the beast herd's strength. The Beast King must have many beasts around it. You going alone is undoubtedly throwing your life away."
"Then what should we do? Shall we go together?"
Looking up at the distance, Chen Ang shook his head again.
"Going together won't work either. This mountain is clearly unusual. If we barge in so abruptly, the outcome might not be very good."
All the suggestions he made were rejected, which made Huang Yu appear somewhat anxious.
"Boss, this won't work, that won't work, then what do you say we should do?"
"We will leave our Qi here first to see if we can attract the Beast King's attention. If we can really attract its attention, and it has already transformed into human form, we can talk to it first. After all, we didn't come here targeting the Beast Race, we are just borrowing their place. This matter should be explainable."
Understanding what he meant, the group nodded and cooperated to leave their own Qi.
Setting up an array, Chen Ang enveloped everyone's Qi within it and placed it beside the boulder, using it as a lure to attract the Beast King's attention.
After doing all this, he then led the group to turn and leave.
On the way back, Wan Shitong asked in confusion, "Boss, we left the array there, but no one is guarding it. If the Beast King really comes, wouldn't we miss it?"
"No, I left my own true Qi in the array. Once the Beast King touches our array, I will immediately have a sense of it, and it will be in time to rush over then."
Learning that he had already made full preparations, Wan Shitong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The group left in a hurry, and when they returned to the inn again, they still did not see the people from the Butterfly Race.
Seeing Chen Ang's gaze looking around, the waiter seemed to have guessed his thoughts and hurriedly approached.
"Guest, that lady just went out with her subordinates. I don't know what they went to do, but they didn't check out. They will likely stay here tonight."
Hearing his words, Chen Ang nodded thoughtfully, said nothing more, and went upstairs directly.
That afternoon, noisy sounds came from downstairs.
After distinguishing carefully, Chen Ang immediately knew who the noisy people were.
At this time, Huang Yu frowned and said, "Boss, the mice are back. Should we be on guard?"
Remembering last night's events, Chen Ang waved his hand: "No need, they have no malice, no need to be on guard."
"No malice? Mice entered your room yesterday."
"Hmm, that mouse had no malice, so no need to be on guard."
Watching Chen Ang's calm expression, Huang Yu opened his mouth, but ultimately swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Since Chen Ang had said so, it was useless for him to say more; listening to him was the right thing to do.
Just as the few were discussing this matter, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
Qing Mei had not arrived yet, but the fragrance on her body had already slowly permeated in.
Smelling this rather pleasant fragrance, Wan Shitong asked curiously, "Boss, which race do you think they are? Why is the Qi on them so gentle? It's as if they have no attack power at all."
"Butterfly Race, go open the door."
After Wan Shitong trotted to open the door, Qing Mei strode in.
After looking at Huang Yu and Wan Shitong, she directly fixed her gaze on Chen Ang's face.
"I want to talk to you alone, do you have time?"
"Those present are all my people, no need to avoid them. You can say whatever you have to say."
Hearing Chen Ang's indifferent response, Qing Mei shook her head directly.
"No, I don't trust others. I only want to talk to you alone. This matter is very important, I hope you can give me a chance."
Looking at the sincerity in her eyes, Chen Ang didn't think much and said directly to Huang Yu and Wan Shitong: "You go out for a moment, I will talk to her alone."
After hearing his words, the two looked at each other and ultimately chose to leave.
After leaving Chen Ang's room, the two did not return to their own rooms, but instead stood guard outside his door, because they did not understand Qing Mei's character and worried that she would use schemes against Chen Ang. After all, in their eyes, Chen Ang did not have much guard against Qing Mei yet, so they were not at ease.
Ignoring the gazes of other Butterfly Race members, the two stood on the left and right of Chen Ang's door, their expressions as serious as door gods.
Looking at Qing Mei, Chen Ang asked in an indifferent tone: "What is the matter you are looking for me for?"
"Yes, Chen Ang, I want to cooperate with you."
Hearing her call his name directly, Chen Ang chuckled.
"You have investigated me?"
Hearing his question, a bit of embarrassment appeared on Qing Mei's face.
She had been busy with nothing else all day today but looking for people to inquire about Chen Ang's identity. Originally, she didn't want to expose this, but she didn't expect her mind to be too anxious, and she exposed herself the moment she opened her mouth.
Since the words were already out, she didn't avoid it anymore and nodded readily.
"That's right, I had people investigate you. You are from the Human Race, named Chen Ang, right?"
"Right, what else did you investigate? Did you investigate my background?"
"No, there is very little information about you. Much of it I guessed by myself. Chen Ang, you came here to find the Demon Race's items, right? Actually, our Butterfly Race's goal is the same as yours. I think we can cooperate. After all, there is strength in numbers. If our two races work together, the success rate can be higher. Don't you think so?"
"No, because the item we are looking for is the same. We cannot become friends, only enemies."
Hearing him say this, Qing Mei's heart skipped a beat.
