Chapter 852: Chapter 854: Soone Beat Us to It
Yang Yu couldn’t pretend he didn’t hear this.
Besides this young girl, there seed to be others who had beaten them to it.
After all, October this year marks the Dragon God Conference, and those who received invitations have started to intensify their training to prepare for the future.
Tico as well; having not seen her for a long ti, her level skyrocketed from over forty to nearly seventy, with her Intelligence Attribute already exceeding three thousand and approaching four thousand.
This forest has Mud Monsters, and surely many who desire power covet the experience from those elite monsters.
The situation has beco complicated.
Yang Yu originally intended to casually pick a few lucky Mud Monsters, kill them, and feed them to He ng, so He ng could learn [Mimicry].
But now, it seems that beyond fighting monsters, they must also fight people.
Yang Yu said, “What do you plan to do next? You don’t seem to have obvious wounds, but your aura is weak. I have a Priest in my group, do you need her to heal you?”
Qiuye Doreen looked at Iyas, paused for a while, and asked:
“My grandfather once told , there’s no free lunch in the world. What do I need to pay?”
Qiuye Doreen’s question elicited a sowhat surprised expression from Yang Yu.
“Don’t make that expression, it seems you still treat like a child.” Qiuye Doreen puffed up her chest, patting it, “Although I have always been protected by the family, I understand the rules of society. Do I need to pay… how much each ti?”
Contrary to her actions, Qiuye Doreen’s voice beca increasingly small and timid.
“No paynt. Rather than money, I’d prefer you provide so valuable information.
From your description, excluding the possibility of [Mimicry], the man appearing at the hot spring should also be after those Mud Monsters.
Fearing you’d snatch the monsters, that’s why he attacked you.
Our target is also those Mud Monsters, so confrontation is inevitable…
I hope you can provide details of your encounter with him.”
Before Yang Yu could finish, Qiuye Doreen protested:
“No way, that’s absolutely impossible. I was the one who spotted those Mud Monsters first. I ca here to beco stronger, if you defeat them all, what’s the point of being here?”
She insisted she didn’t want to be coddled, but her mindset didn’t imdiately change.
Yang Yu sighed and said, “The Mud Monsters are a gift from this forest, not soone’s property. By rights, whoever defeats it, owns it. This is common knowledge among adventurers.”
Qiuye Doreen seed to realize her mistake, blushing, she said:
“Of course I know.
…I’m sorry.
If I tell you, will you really heal ?
The skills that guy used were very Special, I have no visible injuries.
But after taking his move, I felt all uncomfortable…”
Yang Yu directly waved to Iyas, “Iyas, heal her first.”
Upon receiving the command, Iyas didn’t hesitate, her hands emitted an extrely gentle Holy Light, enveloping Qiuye Doreen, healing her pain.
Qiuye Doreen imdiately felt an unprecedented lightness, and the pain that twisted her body disappeared instantly.
“What a straightforward and generous character… totally different from . As thanks, I really should tell you what I know. It’s also the rule.”
As if completely letting her guard down with Yang Yu and his group, Qiuye Doreen’s attitude beca much softer.
Yet, before she could continue, the inappropriate sound of a stomach growling shattered the conversation’s ambiance.
Qiuye Doreen quickly covered her stomach, her cheeks turning crimson as she helplessly smiled:
“Seems I’ve beco too engrossed in battle, could you wait for to go back and have a al first, then I’ll answer your questions?”
“Quickly go and quickly return.” Yang Yu said while stuffing an egg into his mouth.
Qiuye Doreen turned to leave but only took a few steps before she turned back, her fingers intertwined, saying sowhat embarrassedly:
“Um… I’m not sure if you have any extra food here, but if you do, could you sell so…
It’d be best if you could sell a bit more.
Actually, I didn’t bring much dried food with , and for certain reasons, it’s inconvenient for to go to the town.
This is a transaction, not asking for a gift, I’ll also provide you sothing valuable.”
“No problem.” Yang Yu responded generously once again, then laid out various foods.
The temperature of the Hot Spring River is good, indicating they’re not far from their destination, perfect for resting, preparing a al for their comrades, and replenishing energy for combat.
The array of food dazzled her, and Qiuye Doreen gawked, swallowing hard, agreed they remain in waiting, and then swiftly brought back her own things from her camp.
There were plenty of things to joke about; just leaving important survival tools aside showed Qiuye Doreen’s lack of wilderness survival knowledge.
If, in the beginning, Yang Yu and his team had checked the tent and took away Qiuye Doreen’s package, she would likely not have survived in this icy wilderness.
After a series of bargaining, Yang Yu traded with Qiuye Doreen for the [Magic Crystal of the Mud Monster] she had defeated.
Out of kindness, Yang Yu also imparted to Qiuye Doreen so essential survival knowledge.
He even suggested that she find a reliable person to learn how to live independently and safely before leaving the forest.
After eating and drinking their fill, and acquiring information on the Mud Monsters and the person at the hot spring, Yang Yu and his team set off again.
Yang Yu fed the two Magic Crystals obtained from Qiuye Doreen to He ng, but unfortunately, He ng didn’t acquire [Mimicry], just two insignificant skills.
Regardless of whether He ng could obtain [Mimicry], Yang Yu still planned to et the man occupying the hot spring.
…
…
At this ti, near the hot spring, patches of yellow mud were scattered around the hot spring area filled with rubble, bubbling and emitting heat.
On a Giant Stone, a man wiped the gri from his fist, smiling:
“That woman just now has so skill, it seems the Dragon God Conference this year will be quite interesting.”
A cold wind blew through, dissipating the mist surrounding the hot spring.
The man on the stone revealed his true face, dressed very lightly, yet he felt no cold in the chilly breeze, his red headband fluttering in the wind.
He wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth, smiling indulgently.
Suddenly, a terrifying howling sound ca from behind him, as a two-story high indescribable Mud Monster, clawing towards him, appeared.
The man stood up, withdrew his fist, took a deep breath, and then punched towards his rear.
A ripple spread from his fist, turning the Mud Monster back into a pool of sludge.
“I have a feeling more strong characters will erge in the future, and I’m looking forward to eting whoever cos next.”
