Chapter 70: Chapter 070 – The News Wang Dong Brought With Him

The direction Wang Dong was riding his Elephorse from was from deep into the beast world.

It didn’t have to be said that this fellow went wandering a bit too far into the beast world again. This time he had still managed to ride back on his Elephorse; his luck was truly heaven-defying.

Zhang Che was even starting to guess whether this guy specialized in selling information on exotic beasts and making a living off that.

If that was truly the case, then it was even more impressive.

A Tier Two beastmaster without a capable subdued beast by his side frequently exploring far away from the safety zone and going deep into the dangerous areas. Let alone other factors, just his courage was something ordinary people didn’t have.

Zhang Che noticed Wang Dong. The guy spaced out for a moment. When he saw Zhang Che’s appearance clearly, he immediately revealed a happy look on his face and adjusted his direction, trotting straight towards Zhang Che.

The Elephorse was fast; Wang Dong was nearly upon Zhang Che less than a minute later, yelling excitedly, “Woah, what fate! I didn’t expect to run into Big Bro here!”

The Elephorse slowed down. Wang Dong jumped off his mount very smoothly, and walked up to Zhang Che. He bowed slightly in gratitude. As he did, he noticed the purple-based defensive gear with gold and silvery patterns under Zhang Che’s clothes.

After that glance, Wang Dong’s gaze was glued to Zhang Che’s body.

“My… my god, Big Bro, you’re awesome! If I didn’t see wrongly, the defensive gear on Big Bro’s body should be a type of Maneater Leech, right? Let me guess: it should be silver-quality at the very least. Perhaps even gold-quality! Big Bro, are you lacking an accessory on your leg?¹”

It was not difficult for Wang Dong to recognize the beast card defensive gear on Zhang Che. He had bought a Maneater Leech card off Zhang Che in the past. Although the two’s level and quality differed, their basic structure was very similar. It wasn’t hard to recognize it.

Of course, Wang Dong naturally had no idea that this mysterious Big Bro before him was actually the youngster who sold him his Maneater Leech card. Otherwise, it would have been wonderful to see the look on his face right now.

“It’s only silver-quality. How could it be possible to find that many gold-quality beasts?” Zhang Che chuckled at the sight of Wang Dong’s excited face. He continued, “Also, don’t keep calling me Big Bro. My name is Sun Che. Just call me by my name.”

“No can do, no can do!” Wang Dong shook his head continuously with a serious expression. “How could I call Big Bro by your name? If it wasn’t for Big Bro giving me the Elephorse card, I wouldn’t have been able to return this time. Looking back on it, Big Bro saved my life twice. I definitely can’t address Big Bro directly by name.”

-This fellow really escaped from the depths of the beast world again?-

Zhang Che blinked his eyes, thoroughly convinced of Wang Dong’s luck. He didn’t know whether to say he was lucky or the opposite.

“So you’re saying, you discovered some impressive exotic beasts deep in the beast world again, and escaped back here thanks to the Elephorse’s speed?”

Hearing Zhang Che’s question, Wang Dong nodded, then shook his head, saying, “Big Bro, I really discovered some powerful exotic beasts this time, but I wasn’t chased by them. I was almost killed by other people.”

“Almost killed by other people?” Zhang Che felt rather surprised.

Although there were innumerable cases of people robbing and killing others in the beast world, seeking revenge against them weren’t news either, it all depended on the circumstances, too.

Take Wang Dong, for example. To put it bluntly, he really didn’t have the qualifications to incite others to commit any crimes against him. This fellow was truly too poor.

As for enemies, unless Wang Dong had so many enemies that they were everywhere, it was unlikely for him to casually run into one of them deep in the beast world, right?

If that really was the case, it would have been impossible for Wang Dong to survive until this day. He would have been killed tens, if not hundreds of times over.

“Right, damn it. I’m really down on my luck this time. I actually wandered into an area where people were surrounding exotic beasts and killing them. If it wasn’t for the Elephorse’s speed, I really wouldn’t have made it back safely.” Wang Dong revealed a wretched look as he spoke about this.

Zhang Che, on the other hand, was interested on this topic. He smiled, asking, “Let’s hear it; what exactly happened?”

Wang Dong nodded. He didn’t reject Zhang Che’s request. After all, he was the Big Bro who saved his life twice, and he might even find himself working under Zhang Che in the future.

Thus, the two sat down on the grass at the hillside, and Wang Dong started recounting his most recent experience in the beast world in detail.

It turned out that ever since he told Zhang Che about the Elephorse herd and received the Elephorse card in return, Wang Dong really started going around scouting for information on exotic beasts and selling it.

His thoughts were like this: since his own strength was lacking and he was unable to hunt those powerful exotic beasts, why not make use of the Elephorse’s characteristic of being able to travel long distances to look for powerful exotic beasts and sell the information for money?

Over the past few days, Wang Dong had really made use of this idea and successfully completed two deals. Although the exotic beasts he discovered weren’t considered very powerful, he sold the information to several groups with decent reputation, and really earned quite a sum from it.

Today, he rode the Elephorse southwest about a hundred kilometers into the beast world and came across a stone forest. He suddenly saw a huge aerial beast whose wingspan was nearly ten meters wide circling in the sky.

Judging from the way that aerial beast was acting, either its nest was within this stone forest, or it was there hunting prey.

This discovery made Wang Dong’s heart tighten, while at the same time he grew excited.

If he returned to the safety zone and sold this piece of information, it would be another pretty sum in his pocket.

However, before the aerial beast flew away, he saw a few beastmasters approaching him from the side, full of hostility.

“Tian Yin Squad is here hunting. Unconcerned parties please leave quickly, or don’t blame us for not being polite!”

In the beginning, a group leader of the Tian Yin Squad was only driving Wang Dong away with a fierce look. At this moment, a member suddenly whispered something in the leader’s ear, and his eyes immediately shone with greed, looking at the Elephorse under Wang Dong.

Wang Dong obviously understood what idea they had in their minds. He didn’t give them any chance and directly prompted the Elephorse. It maneuvered around a few piles of rubble and quickly ran back in the safety zone’s direction.

A large group of subdued beasts immediately gave chase to him. It was obvious that they intended to kill him since their attempt at robbery failed.

Luckily, those subdued beasts weren’t as fast as the Elephorse, and were unable to catch up to Wang Dong.

Listening up until here, Zhang Che nodded, saying, “Your luck is indeed bad. Although you managed to escape safely this time, I think that Tian Yin Squad won’t let this matter go just like that. They’ll surely find trouble with you in the future.”

“Escape safely? This was escaping by the skin of my teeth, Big Bro! I almost forfeited my life right there!” Wang Dong said, showing a fearful look on his face.

Zhang Che was puzzled. He asked, “Almost forfeited your life? Didn’t you say that they couldn’t catch up to you at all? Why would you almost lose your life there?”
