Chapter 8: Flesh Worm

【World Channel】

Looking at the bounty posted on the wanted notice.

"A bounty of three hundred thousand gold?"

"A Legendary-tier territory… if it encounters an opportunity to evolve later, evolving to Mythic grade isn't impossible."

"And it's still a Cursed One with extremely strong growth potential."

"Indeed, I heard the Cursed Ones are utterly evil, specifically devouring other lords' territories to evolve."

"But… I really don't understand, what's the difference between a Cursed One and us? Don't we also attack other territories and plunder resources for ourselves?"

"Shh, is that something you can say? Be careful or the Alliance will arrest you."

"I heard the Alliance is afraid of something."

"We once treated the Cursed Ones the same as everyone else, but after a certain incident… forget it, never mind."

"In any case, if we can capture a Cursed One, we'll be massively in the black."

"Three hundred thousand gold coins can buy quite a few resources."

"But in such a vast world, finding a few Cursed Ones isn't a simple matter."

"I heard the map expanded again recently, and a large number of unexplored mist zones have appeared."

"There seems to be a mist zone near us — want to go explore it together?"

"The map expanded this time seems to be rainforest terrain."
