Chapter 714: Explosive Yan Mo—Glimmering Star!

"Did Sucheng Lord do it?"

The bald mercenary nodded. "When the Iron-Spined Black Sea Crocodile first came ashore, Sucheng Lord made a move. If you're talking about a fire hawk with black flames that can explode—"

"Yes, it must have been Sucheng Lord!"

The tavern's main door was pushed open, and Wan Jing, vice leader of the Tiger Shark Mercenary Corps, walked in with several of his subordinates.

"Our Tiger Fiend Mercenary Corps people ran into it too."

The bald mercenary laughed. "Now the truth is out. Go find Sucheng Lord and try it!"

The complaining mercenaries and adventurers exchanged uncertain glances.

"We were only joking!"

"Right, we were just talking nonsense. Sucheng Lord helped us kill the fierce beasts—we couldn't be grateful enough!"

"Exactly. Our squad was about to collapse, but thankfully the City Lord arrived in time. Otherwise we'd have been done for!"

"..."

These people—none of them dares own up to it now!

What a joke.

Go settle accounts with Sucheng Lord.

Wouldn't that be seeking death?

The bald mercenary laughed. "You lot change faces faster than you turn pages!"

"With Sucheng Lord's strength, you want to send us to our deaths?"

Wan Jing said, "Forget it. Even though the City Lord killed your prey, he won't take it from you. He probably just wanted to satisfy his itch. You should count yourselves lucky."

At this moment, Su Yang sat in his office, looking over the report Liu Mengyun had handed him.

Many members of Mount Dajiao City's Treasure Pavilion had murder cases on their hands.

What Su Yang cared about most were the people from two of the hunter squads.

They had actually killed beast tamers from Mount Dajiao City's military in the wild.

More than once!

Based on the leads the subjects gave up after being hypnotized.

Liu Mengyun dispatched people and found a total of thirteen sets of remains belonging to Mount Dajiao City's military members.

These remains had all been buried recently and had rotted beyond recognition.

But their military uniforms were still there.

As for the other corpses, excavation was still pending.

Su Yang was not surprised that military beast tamers had died at the hands of Mount Dajiao City's Treasure Pavilion hunting squads.

What surprised him was the number of fallen soldiers!

"They've got some nerve!" Su Yang asked in a low voice. "Does the Vice City Lord know?"

"They all know!"

"Keep the evidence. Send a Shine-Rank expert to deliver these to the Southeast Military Department!" Su Yang said slowly. "If I'm not mistaken, someone should have already gone to report to the Treasure Pavilion. With this intelligence, the Southeast Military Department should help us hold the line, right!"

Su Yang had never thought he could keep the Treasure Pavilion matter under wraps.

Someone was bound to report back to the Treasure Pavilion headquarters.

"Right, have those people finished being interrogated?"

"Three Shine-Rank experts and Liao Yuankai are still left."

"Set Liao Yuankai aside for now. Keep interrogating the other three!"

"Yes!"

To be honest, having obtained that evidence put Su Yang even more at ease.

He refused to believe the Southeast Military Department could stomach even this kind of thing.

Back when he was in the Southeast, reading through the military department's materials, he had already noticed the Southeast Military Department's problem.

It was that the Treasure Pavilion had grown too powerful!

Su Yang believed the military department should be the sole dominant power.

Especially in this perilous world.

The entire Huaxia Federation should be twisted into a single rope.

When several powers run in parallel, infighting is most likely to arise, and they fall into internal friction.

For the next stretch of time, Su Yang devoted himself wholeheartedly to the great enterprise of killing (and robbing) monsters.

He took Elder Yan Mo and swept through all the valuable fierce beasts near Mount Dajiao City and along the coastline.

"Ding~ Your pet beast Elder Yan Mo has leveled up to Shine-Rank Low-Grade!"

"Ding~ Your pet beast Elder Yan Mo has comprehended the fire-type skill—Glimmering Star!"

Glimmering Star!

An ultra-large-scale three-dimensional bombing skill!

Su Yang read through the skill description carefully and found this skill extremely powerful!

Su Yang could only say that Elder Yan Mo truly lived up to being a descendant of the main battle pet beast that General Tian of the Western Region had once dominated the battlefield with!

Of course, his own nurturing had also played an indispensable role!

If Void Wraith still leaned a bit toward support.

Then Elder Yan Mo was a thoroughbred, full-blown assault maniac!

Just as Su Yang was admiring Elder Yan Mo's attribute panel, a sudden dodge from the Storm Eagle snapped him back to attention.

Su Yang saw a massive boulder fly past ahead of him with a whooshing wind.

If the Storm Eagle hadn't dodged, that boulder might have struck the Storm Eagle directly.

Su Yang looked down and saw a King-Rank Divine Power Monkey peeking out from behind a great mountain, its golden pupils gleaming.

The peak of that great mountain had vanished.

It was probably meant to crush Su Yang and the others.

Su Yang glanced at the Divine Power Monkey's profile.

This Divine Power Monkey possessed King-Rank Low-Grade strength, and its talent was bizarre—it had both Rare Vision Talent and Rare Strength Talent!

"Ding~ Quest released: Use Explosive Elder Yan Mo to kill the Divine Power Monkey."

"Ding~ Quest reward: Randomly upgrade one talent of Explosive Elder Yan Mo by one level."

Have Explosive Elder Yan Mo kill a King-Rank ferocious beast!

This was still quite difficult.

The Divine Power Monkey was a typical ferocious beast specialized in strength and defense.

It was somewhat similar to the Earth Rampage Bear.

Killing one of them was no easy task.

Explosive Elder Yan Mo was a fragile, violent mage.

He was still one full rank below the Divine Power Monkey.

The Divine Power Monkey's aim when throwing objects was excellent—probably because of its sharp vision and training!

If Explosive Elder Yan Mo clashed head-on with the Divine Power Monkey, it wouldn't end well.

But Su Yang wasn't worried at all.

The system said to use Explosive Elder Yan Mo to kill the Divine Power Monkey.

But the system never said other pet beasts couldn't assist.
