Chapter 894
Speaking of Baishitong, he asked the Qi Emperor for people and set off for the Milin Mountain Range.
Su Chen finally followed Kuang Long and his group to the depths of the Milin Mountain Range.
Kuang Long was leading everyone forward when a Frozen Snake suddenly jumped out of the grass.
Fortunately, there was only one, and it was a Second-Tier Frozen Snake. Kuang Long didn't spend much effort to kill it easily.
Afterward, Kuang Long came to the Frozen Snake's corpse to take out the magic core. Although it was only a Second-Tier magic core, it was worth at least a thousand gold coins.
As they went deeper, Su Chen finally found the herbs he wanted.
Now he wouldn't have to worry about not having medicine to treat Baishitong's illness when he went back.
But Su Chen didn't just enter the Milin Mountain Range this time to find medicinal herbs for Baishitong.
In a chat with Baishitong last time, Su Chen accidentally learned that there was a Golden Winged Lion King in the depths of the Milin Mountain Range.
Legend has it that when this Golden Winged Lion King came to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, it was only a Third-Tier Wind-Chasing Lion, but it accidentally obtained an opportunity in the Milin Mountain Range.
Now it is already a King-level magical beast in the Milin Mountain Range. Su Chen came to the Magical Beast Mountain Range this time for this Golden Winged Lion King.
The Resurrection Secret Manual said that it needed the inner core of an ancient exotic beast at the Ninth Tier of the King Realm. Let's see what strength this Golden Winged Lion King actually has and if it's strong enough.
Even if the Golden Winged Lion King reached the level required by the Resurrection Scroll, Su Chen only had the strength of the Fifth Tier of the King Realm and was not yet the Golden Winged Lion King's opponent.
So this visit was mainly to gather intelligence. As long as the Golden Winged Lion King could meet the requirements, Su Chen would have finally made a start.
At this time, Baishitong was also heading toward the depths of the Milin Mountain Range with all his might.
Su Chen finally arrived at the territory of the Golden Winged Lion King, where all the high-tier magical beasts obeyed the orders of the Golden Winged Lion King.
Kuang Long also finally took out the medicinal powder to mask his own scent; there were basically no low-tier magical beasts here.
They were replaced by magical beasts above the Fifth Tier, equivalent to human Qi Masters and Qi Kings.
Plus, magical beasts are naturally physically brutal and stronger than humans, so at the same level, magical beasts still occupy the advantage.
Kuang Long's side was also not prepared to move forward anymore. This journey had already been very fruitful; they had obtained quite a few medicinal herbs, magic cores, and inner cores of magical beasts.
And there were basically no casualties this time. Kuang Long was also preparing to set off tomorrow to withdraw from the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range; after all, it was still too dangerous here.
But Su Chen knew that advancing to here was far from enough. Su Chen tried to persuade Kuang Long to continue forward, but Kuang Long refused on the grounds of safety.
At night, Su Chen was sulking because Kuang Long refused him during the day. At this time, Kuang Long walked toward Su Chen with two gourds of wine.
Kuang Long picked up the gourd and took a big gulp of wine, then gave the other gourd to Su Chen.
Su Chen could see that Kuang Long had something on his mind, so he chatted with Kuang Long.
"Big Brother Kuang Long, being a mercenary is so dangerous, why do you still engage in this industry?"
Kuang Long picked up the gourd and took another big gulp of wine, then looked at Su Chen and said.
"It's all forced. No one is willing to live this life of licking blood from the edge of a knife."
"When I was young, my family was very poor, and the three of us brothers often couldn't even get enough to eat."
Three brothers? Doesn't Kuang Long only have one younger brother?
Curiosity drove Su Chen to continue asking.
"Big Brother Kuang Long, don't you only have one younger brother, Kuang Hu? Why did you say three brothers? Did you remember wrong?"
Speaking of this, the eyes of this rough man, Kuang Long, also became moist.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if I tell you."
"Besides Ah Hu, I also have a younger brother, Kuang Bao. The three of us brothers depended on each other since childhood, grew up together, and later became mercenaries together."
"Before, we didn't have our own mercenary group and could only be mercenaries for others. Everything was going quite smoothly until an accident happened once."
"We went to hunt a Night Demon Wolf for an employer. Night Demon Wolves are gregarious animals, and there are very few single ones, so this task was very difficult."
"We wandered around the Magical Beast Mountain Range for more than half a month and finally found a lone, injured Night Demon Wolf. But who knew that when we approached, we realized it was a trap. Just as we were about to act, more than twenty Night Demon Wolves jumped out from the bushes nearby."
"A mercenary squad usually only has about a dozen people. Plus, we were young at the time and had never encountered such a situation. At that time, the three of us brothers ran away, but in the end, we couldn't escape."
"Finally, we fought a bloody battle until reinforcements arrived, and we were successfully rescued. But Kuang Bao was too seriously injured at the time. Because we failed to complete the task, we had no money to get. In the end, Ah Bao passed away because we had no money to buy medicine to treat his wounds."
Listening to Kuang Long say these things, Su Chen also took a sip of wine and comforted Kuang Long.
"I know you are young and full of blood, but sometimes I can't watch you die in vain. The danger of magical beasts is not something you can imagine."
Hearing this, Su Chen also seemed to know why Kuang Long was determined not to let Su Chen go deeper into the Milin Mountain Range during the day.
