Chapter 1038

"Mm!"

Su Yang nodded, stomped the ground until it exploded, shot up into the air, and landed on the back of the Storm Eagle. Along the way, he took the opportunity to recall the Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly.

He had released the Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly to confirm whether this band of mercenaries had spoken the truth.

Ordinary mercenaries would certainly not dare to deceive him, but Su Yang preferred to play it safe in everything he did.

After Su Yang vanished, the Star Glory–rank mercenary cradled the King-rank crystal core, his face breaking into a beaming smile.

"I've always heard that General Su is especially generous when he acts. Today I finally got to experience it myself — just a few casual words in reply, and he gave me a King-rank crystal core. He's outrageously generous!"

A mercenary beside him said, "For someone of General Su's level, doesn't he not even need to spend money? I heard they can get everything reimbursed. I heard even those especially rare resources, once the Federation finds them, are distributed to them first!"

"Still, we'd better leave the Black Hushan Range quickly!"

"Right! General Su is supposed to be staying at Mount Dajiao City, so if he's been sent all the way to the Black Hushan Range, something big must be going on!"

"Makes sense, let's go!"

"Wait, General Su seemed to have killed two fierce beasts just now. Let's go check — maybe there's a bargain to be picked up!"

Half a day later, they discovered helplessly that at the spot where the explosion had occurred, not even a trace was left — not a single piece of charred residue remained…

Only the great trees toppled by the blast wave could prove that a fierce battle had truly just taken place here!

Ten days later, just when Su Yang was preparing to turn back and report false news, the Storm Eagle finally noticed something unusual.

Three King-rank fierce beasts were besieging a King-rank fierce beast.

What struck the Storm Eagle as strange was that those three King-rank fierce beasts were not all of the same kind!

The three King-rank fierce beasts were, respectively, the Golden-Wind Sword-Feather Eagle, the Six-Tailed Moonlight Fox, and the Hurricane Spirit Binder.

These three fierce beasts, who had nothing whatsoever to do with one another, were actually joining forces to attack a Shanling Giant.

It would have been strange if there weren't something fishy about it!

The Shanling Giant's defense was extremely strong, yet it had still been beaten all over its body, its thick stone armor on the verge of shattering apart.

The three King-rank fierce beasts were in no hurry to kill the Shanling Giant. That Six-Tailed Moonlight Fox seemed to be constantly communicating something with the Shanling Giant.

The Storm Eagle believed the Six-Tailed Moonlight Fox might be conducting a psychic exchange.

What exactly they were exchanging, the Storm Eagle didn't understand, and neither did Su Yang.

At this point, the only option was to bring in the royal translator!

"Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly, can you intercept the content of their exchange?"

The Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly nodded, and dense eyes once more appeared on its wings — which made Su Yang rather disgusted!

Psychic communication is also a kind of vibration of spiritual energy.

The Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly's strength was outstanding; as long as it simulated that vibration frequency, it could very easily crack the content of the exchange.

Half a minute later, the Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly replied: "Master, I've made it out. That Six-Tailed Moonlight Fox wants the Shanling Giant to submit to the Tiger Sovereign, but the Shanling Giant would rather die than submit!"
