63

Although he was young, only eight or nine years old, his strength was not inferior to the Lin Zhuang Lin Chen brothers, even surpassing them slightly. His only deficiency was his lack of combat experience.

However, in the face of absolute strength, even if Gu Chen was a bit flustered at first, he eventually dealt with the wild boar ferocious beast.

The domineering power of Sky Tyrant Blood began to show. The teenager, drenched in blood, punched the gigantic head of the wild boar ferocious beast into an explosion. Accompanied by a painful scream, a mix of red and white substance, along with shards of bone, was sprayed several meters away. It was a gruesome sight.

"This kid looks so gentle, I didn't expect him to be even more ruthless than us!"

Tu Dequan and Lin Chen exchanged glances, unable to help but look at each other in disbelief.

In daily life, Gu Chen looked fair and clean, thin and weak. If one ignored his terrifying talent, he would give people a peaceful illusion, almost like a girl.

Tu Wa Zi and Second Brother Lin always thought so. However, not until now did they realize that perhaps this teenager was the most hidden, most violent one in the village.

They, at most, dismembered beasts, but he directly shattered the bones.

After securing a common ferocious beast and a Species of the Ancient Times, the group decided not to continue and set out to return to Liu Village.

On the road, as far as they could see, there were ruins everywhere, a wasteland filled with large and small coarse sand and gravel, resembling a vast Gobi Desert, the sight of it was heartbreaking.

Stepping on it, the sound of the coarse sand was dry and dull, numerous trenches displayed irregularly, just like knife wounds cut on flesh, hideous and frightening. The scene was utterly different from the greenness surrounding Liu Village, as if there were two different worlds.

The atmosphere among them couldn't help but become heavy. The home they had lived in for so many years was destroyed to such an extent that they were angry and frustrated. When they first came out, their focus was on the ferocious beasts and they didn't pay much attention to their surroundings.

The journey was mostly silent…

Old man Lin was already waiting at the entrance of Liu Village. Upon seeing Lin Zhuang and the others returning fully loaded, he hurried over.

"You actually brought back two?!" Old man Lin was a bit surprised.

Not only was the harvest abundant, the most important thing was that they had completed the task assigned by Lord Willow God.

"This ferocious beast… it looks a bit like the legendary Departure Fire Divine Bull?"

Moving his gaze from the wild boar ferocious beast corpse that was thrown on the ground, Old man Lin glanced at the tightly bound Departure Fire Divine Bull and was somewhat shocked.

When he was young, he had attempted to venture into the Wilderness. Although he ultimately failed and hadn't even managed to step out of the Vast Wilderness Mountain Range, he had indirectly traveled to many places and experienced many things.

For example, this Departure Fire Divine Bull, he had seen its majestic power from a distance when he was a guest in a village.

Its body was covered in rolling flames, with the ground beneath its feet filled with raging lava. If it hadn't been attracted to other things at the time, it might have charged towards the village he was in.

"When did you young rabbits become so powerful, that you could even capture this Species of the Ancient Times!"

Old man Lin said in surprise.

He knew his children were extraordinary, with arms that could casually swing a strength of tens of thousands of pounds. They could easily move the boulder in the village used to measure the strength of the villagers, and could easily kill certain ferocious beasts, making them rare brave and strong men.

However, no matter how extraordinary, that was only limited to the Blood Realm. But this Departure Fire Divine Bull had surpassed that realm many years ago and now it would be even more powerful, not to mention it also possessed a Treasured Technique.

"Father, you're overestimating us. This Departure Fire Divine Bull is one of the previous kings of this territory, we could never be its match.

We were only lucky enough to get it because this ferocious beast was severely injured by the great war some time ago and we happened to come across it!"

Lin Zhuang explained. As the eldest, he was usually the first to speak.

"Father, when you think about it, the main reason we were able to capture this Departure Fire Divine Bull was actually because of Second Brother. If it wasn't for his decisiveness at the time, we might have missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

As Lin Zhuang spoke, he specifically highlighted Lin Chen Er.

On their way back, Lin Chen had been pestering him for a long time, asking him to speak more favorably of Lin Chen Er. Unable to withstand his persistence, Lin Zhuang eventually gave in.

"Father, what do you think about this? Since we won't be using this Departure Fire Divine Bull anyway, why don't we give it to Second Brother as a mount?"

After much build-up, Lin Zhuang finally got to the main point.

Old man Lin didn't respond immediately. He purposefully glanced at Lin Chen Er who was standing beside him before leisurely saying, "Second Brother, you must have asked your older brother to represent you, right?"

As their father, Old man Lin knew the nature of his children better than anyone else. Putting it bluntly, just by the twitch of their tails, he could tell who was up to something.

"Father, you are indeed astute. You noticed it in an instant!"

Lin Chen scratched his head. Realizing that he couldn't hide his intentions from Old man Lin, he gave an embarrassed smile.

"Your older brother is a very straightforward person who never talks more than necessary. If you hadn't asked him, would he have deliberately brought up this matter to me?" Old man Lin raised his eyebrows, displaying an expression of understanding.

"Since you want this ferocious beast as your mount, you can have it. After all, you guys were the ones who brought it back. However, the Departure Fire Divine Bull is an ancient species known for its untamed nature. It's very hard to tame, so you'd better be mentally prepared." Old man Lin said.

Without any hesitation, Lin Chen Er accepted the advice. He had prepared himself mentally long ago.

However, contrary to Lin Chen's expectation, the Departure Fire Divine Bull began showing signs of submission before he even started using his techniques on it.

That was easy!

Lin Chen didn't bother figuring out why. He supposed that there must be some similarity between him and Jiang Hui—they were both too lazy to think.

That very day, Lin Chen Er mounted his long-desired Departure Fire Divine Bull and did a round of the village, causing many to exclaim in surprise.

"When will I, as an old man, get to ride an ancient species?"

With his hands clasped behind his back, Old man Lin suddenly felt envious of Lin Chen Er.

If he had known that riding one would look so domineering, he would have kept it for himself.

As soon as Lin Zhuang and the others brought back the ferocious beast, Old man Lin arranged for someone to handle it immediately.

Two days and two nights passed in the blink of an eye.

Just like the Epic Grade Dragon Egg they had previously, the dragon egg in the Big Pot turned into a stream of light at noon the following day and rushed into Jiang Hui's body.

"Golden Dragon Egg hatched successfully. Congratulations on receiving ten tons of Beast Meat, five hundred Sharp Swords, and one Zen Observation Image (damaged)."

The Golden Finger's voice rang out.

Jiang Hui quickly scanned through the rewards, with his gaze being drawn to the last one.

He looked carefully, and an overview of all the rewards immediately appeared before his eyes.

Beast Meat: A very common kind of meat that's easy to preserve and has a decent taste.

Sharp Sword: A very sharp sword made through multiple tempering processes. It's sharp, resilient, and hard to break.

Zen Observation Image (Damaged): A very precious item. Any follower of the host who observes it may successfully step into the Cave Heaven Realm, depending on their personal talent..
