Chapter 750

Boring.

Pure waste of time!

In Mount Dajiao City, a group of mercenaries and adventurers gathered in the tavern.

"Have you noticed? Lately, the ferocious beasts near Mount Dajiao seem to be growing fewer—could they have migrated?"

"A few days ago, our mercenary team had already picked targets, but when we went the next day, nothing was there…"

"We've noticed too—each time we go out to hunt ferocious beasts now, we have to travel several more kilometers. If we weren't strong enough, we wouldn't dare go to sea!"

"…"

Wan Jing, deputy leader of the Tiger Shark Mercenary Company, whispered: "We might have some insight into this strange matter."

"Oh!"

In the tavern, all the mercenaries and adventurers turned to look at Wan Jing.

In Mount Dajiao City, the most well-informed groups, besides the military, the Treasure Pavilion, and the Li Clan, were the Tiger Shark Mercenary Company.

"Wan Leader, tell us!"

"Not long ago, one of our small teams went out to hunt ferocious beasts and discovered that those beasts seemed controlled—they all moved in one direction…"

Someone asked quietly: "A mental-type ferocious beast?"

Wan Jing shook his head: "Not a mental-type ferocious beast—a mental-type pet beast! If not for a Yushoushi, our small team couldn't have escaped!"

"Then did your team go to see whose pet beast it was?"

Wan Jing looked at the mercenary who asked with an expression as if he were an idiot.

On the other side, an old Yushoushi chuckled: "Old Wu, if you encountered such a situation, would you dare follow those beasts to see what's going on? Don't you know the more you know, the faster you die?"

Laughter spread again through the tavern.

These days, knowing how to survive is a rare wisdom.

No one wanted to risk their life just to satisfy a little curiosity.

Especially when the power gap was glaringly obvious.

"Anyway, that Yushoushi probably doesn't want to attack us—if we meet him, just leave quickly!" Wan Jing said. "He's probably just hunting ferocious beasts."

"Who do you think that Yushoushi might be? Could he be one of Mount Dajiao's experts?"

He was definitely one of Mount Dajiao's experts.

Someone laughed and asked: "Could it be my lord?"

Wan Jing shook his head: "It's probably not my lord—his strength is such that killing low-level ferocious beasts gives him no benefit. When my lord hunts ferocious beasts, he only targets Platinum-Rank ones!"

Su Yang didn't know that, without realizing it, he had made hunting ferocious beasts harder for the mercenaries of Mount Dajiao.

He had also made them suspicious and paranoid.

But even if he knew, he wouldn't stop.

Someone took a sip of wine and sighed: "The Black Wolf Mercenary Company is so lucky! They ran into my lord out in the wild, helped him gather firewood and fetch water, and earned several Platinum-Rank cores!"

"They just got lucky!"

"When will we ever get to bump into my lord out in the wild?"

"Come to think of it, my lord is something else—he just boils Royal-Rank ferocious beast eggs whenever he wants!"

"You don't understand. To you, Royal-Rank ferocious beast eggs are rare. To my lord, killing one is nothing—just an egg!"

"…"

More than twenty days passed; the Twin Offspring's growth potential reached Emperor-Rank High-Grade—and still hadn't peaked.

Su Yang felt pain, yet joy.

The stronger the Twin Offspring's growth potential, the better it was to cultivate!

But because its growth potential was so high, it required more and more life energy.

He increasingly felt this system task was a trap.

The Twin Offspring was a bottomless pit!

The only thing that comforted Su Yang was that, even so, the two consciousnesses inside the egg never fought each other.

As Su Yang watched the Chromatic Illusionary Butterfly directing ferocious beasts to channel life energy into the Twin Offspring, he suddenly received a message from the Storm Eagle.

The Storm Eagle had spotted Liu Mengyun—about a hundred kilometers away!

A Star-Shine Mid-Grade Thousand Cloud Wind Crane carried Liu Mengyun, heading toward Mount Dajiao.

The Thousand Cloud Wind Crane was wounded, and Liu Mengyun's condition was poor!

"Something urgent—I'm stopping for today!"

Su Yang retracted the Chromatic Illusionary Butterfly, packed the Twin Offspring's egg, leapt onto the descending Storm Eagle's back, and the Storm Eagle flew straight toward Liu Mengyun's location.
