Chapter 844: Chapter 280: I Don’t Think You’re That Tough Either_3
Su Yue went to Toad Number One to inquire about the situation of the Rosa herb.
Finally, Su Yue received some explosive news.
A Grandmaster-level Scab Beast Demon was severely injured, its defense was weakest, Meng Lezhi had every opportunity, and this Scab Beast Demon wasn’t far from the Divine Soldiers’ storage location.
As for the Poison Willow Mine, Toad Number One didn’t know anything, but Bai Xiaolong and Meng Yang had clear leads; they didn’t have major problems but might need to wait some time.
Su Yue gave Toad Number One a pill, asking it to wait in place.
"Meeting, meeting!"
Su Yue returned to the place where everyone was hiding and started a small meeting.
"There is a small path that leads directly to the Divine Soldiers’ storage place, but it’s rugged and steep, probably requiring half a day to traverse.
"Yang Lezhi, come with me. There’s a heavily injured Grandmaster Scab Beast near the Divine Soldiers’ storage location; you can steal its Rosa herb.
"Bai Xiaolong and Meng Yang, what about you guys? Are you going to remain here waiting?"
Su Yue turned to ask.
"I’ll go to see the Divine Soldiers; if you can’t lift them, it’s a wasted opportunity. I think I’m the chosen one, and I can lift them."
Bai Xiaolong nodded confidently.
They got accurate information from Zhao Qian’en’s mouth, that any martial artist below Grandmaster can reach the Divine Soldiers’ storage location, and the Scab Beast Grandmaster wouldn’t trouble them.
This is the rule of the Scab Beast Jungle.
According to Zhao Qian’en, a long time ago, the Scab Beast Jungle was rendered upside down by martial artists, and these rules were the Scab Beast Demon Emperor’s last resort.
But Grandmasters are absolutely forbidden from entering the jungle, which is also the condition set by the Scab Beast Demon King.
"I’ll go too. Poison Willow Mine probably needs a day or two to be extracted; anyway, I’m free and won’t waste time."
Meng Yang also nodded.
Though he didn’t speak, he stubbornly believed he could take the Divine Soldiers.
Afterwards, people again looked at Zhao Qian’en.
"Why are you looking at me? Do I have the right to act independently?"
Zhao Qian’en was resentful.
As a mighty Eight-Grade Vice Admiral, even a Ninth-Grade alien couldn’t keep me, yet I’m imprisoned by a group of Wuda Students.
Luckily, they haven’t beaten me; to whom should I complain?
Not to mention there’s Su Yue and Yang Lezhi, even Bai Xiaolong and Meng Yang are beyond my ability to deal with.
"Hmm, it’s quite sensible.
"Once we return to the Divine Land, you need to honestly confess; we might plea on your behalf, honesty will be lenient!
"Old Garlic, I know a Major General in Zhao Qi Corps, may put in a good word for you, don’t say I didn’t act helpfully!"
Yang Lezhi started posturing.
"Who do you know?"
Zhao Qian’en was puzzled.
"As if you’d know; asking so much."
Yang Lezhi glared at Zhao Qian’en.
"Don’t let me find out; once we return, I’ll give you a hard time along with the Major General you know.
"Dare to bully me!"
Zhao Qian’en was so furious.
...
After some preparations, the five-person team started heading toward the Divine Soldiers’ storage place.
Indeed.
This was a particularly rugged path, with a type of grass along the way that pricked people’s feet.
Though this grass doesn’t cause injuries, it’s extremely painful.
No wonder Scab Beast Demons wouldn’t come here, it’s understandable.
Su Yue inquired and learned that Toad Number One knew this path because it was bullied, isolated, and chased here.
Of course, now Toad Number One was extraordinary.
It consumed human pills, breaking through to Second Grade, and was spirited.
"The road ahead is narrow and there may be unknown dangers. Who will scout ahead?"
Su Yue asked with a somber face.
The vice-captains exchanged looks.
"I’ll go!"
Zhao Qian’en shook his head.
Rather than being driven forward, it’s better to volunteer.
These fellows’ faces are thicker than each other’s; I simply can’t compare.
"Garlic, although you’re a captive, we cannot let you be in the most dangerous position; this scouting task... still falls to you!"
Yang Lezhi solemnly patted Zhao Qian’en’s shoulder.
Zhao Qian’en nearly spat blood in rage.
You simply said something pointless... not wanting to let me be in danger, yet having me scout.
Sinful.
"Must you be so fake?"
Zhao Qian’en couldn’t hold back, turning to ask!
"I think you’re a bit unfirm."
Yang Lezhi laughed.
And so, the team continued onward.
Su Yue frowned, as they delved deeper, the pressure from the air became intense, even suffocating.
This meant they reached the depths of the Scab Beast Jungle.
All thanks to Toad Number One, they really hadn’t encountered a single demon beast on the way.
Before coming, Su Yue was ready to overcome countless hardships, but it all went so smoothly.
...
"This herb can sell for 100 academic credits.
"This stone can polish weapons, also can sell for 50 credits in the second-hand market.
"Wow, treasure, can sell for 300 credits!"
All the way, Meng Yang acted like a junk collector; his Beast Selection Waist Bag had become burdensome.
This guy even picked up items worth 15 academic credits.
"Meng Yang, aren’t you ashamed? Can’t you stop picking up junk?"
Bai Xiaolong commented with disgust.
"These are money you know..."
Meng Yang couldn’t be bothered to explain.
"You’ve fallen into the money pit."
Bai Xiaolong sneered.
A bag of junk items together didn’t total 1000 credits; it’d be better to risk finding a big target.
"Yang Lezhi, why are you grabbing my stuff?!"
Meng Yang was startled.
"Don’t be shocked; I’m short on money too."
Yang Lezhi felt unable to express.
I’m a man with a 2 million credit deficit, who dares to be poorer than me.
