Vol 2 Chapter 15.1 (1/2)

Chapter 15.1 - Long-Armed Racc.o.o.n

The disappointment in He Yiming’s eyes didn’t contain a trace of pretense, nor did he try to gloss it over in the slightest.

As Xie Grace saw He Yiming’s expression, he suddenly thought of a certain matter. However, as he carefully a.n.a.lyzed He Yiming’s age, he immediately discarded it.

Even he wouldn’t dare believe that He Yiming’s Internal Energy had already attained the tenth layer.

He faced upwards and chuckled, “Brother He, don’t tell me even these two long-armed racc.o.o.ns can’t appease you?”

He Yiming shrugged. He indeed didn’t feel too excited. However, he also knew that being able to locate two long-armed rac.o.o.ns was already extraordinary. As for a five-hundred-year-old beast, the possibility of finding such a beast was almost zero. One could say that such a beast could only be met, not sought.

“Mr. Xie, since your family has already located these two spiritual beasts, why not go hunt them?” He Yiming sincerely asked.

If He family could hunt a hundred-year-old gold-crowned python relying on their strength, hunting two spirits beast with two hundred years of age couldn’t even be considered as an accomplishment for Xie family who possessed several times more strength.

Xie Grace faintly started. Only after he saw He Yiming’s water-like clear eyes, did he confirm that the latter had not been mocking him just now.

He bitterly laughed before saying, “Brother He, you have surely never seen a spirit beast before.”

He Yiming faintly raised his eyes, “How can you tell?”

“If you had, you wouldn’t be saying such words,” Xie Grace bitterly smiled, “Not only spirit beasts are extremely powerful, their movements are extremely nimble. These two racc.o.o.ns further have extremely hard skin and tough bones. Even a tenth layer expert shouldn’t be thinking of inflicting a injury on its body.”

He Yiming recalled that when He family had hunted the gold-crowned python, they had not engaged in a direct confrontation with it and had rather poisoned its prey. Then they had intercepted it and had still almost lost.

A single spirit beast was so troublesome by itself, what about two?

He eventually grasped the counterpart’s line of thinking. Even such a big family might not necessarily be able to easily deal with spiritual beasts.

Seeing the thoughtful expression on He Yiming’s face, Xie Grace further said, “Except for a powerful cultivator who had attained the Xiantian realm, no one can claim to hunt spirit beast with complete certainty. If you come across a spirit beast, whether you hunt the beast or it hunts you, n.o.body knows.”

He Yiming’s brows faintly creased, “A powerful cultivator of Xiantian realm….does your n.o.ble clan have the a.s.sistance of such a person?”

Xie Grace’s smile eventually stiffened a bit. He forced out a laugh said, “A powerful Xiantian cultivator… how can you find such a person so easily?”

He Yiming immediately understood that Xie family didn’t have a Xiantian cultivator watching over them.

“Then, what do you have in mind?” He Yiming curiously asked, “Don’t tell me you will continue to delay it like this?”

When he spoke these words, complexions of Xie Mingjin and the attendants worsened. However, Xie Grace still revealed a smile and helplessly said, “Our Xie family has three peak mountain experts who have attained the tenth layer’s peak. However, we still have no certainty in taking on two long-armed racc.o.o.ns. However, if we can obtain help from another tenth layer expert’s a.s.sistance, we might be able to try our hand.”

He Yiming blinked his eyes, admiring the former inwardly. This person had already seen through his depths. However, he still couldn’t guess how the former had accomplished this feat when none among his grandfather, Xu Yinjie, Lin Taoli and so on….had been able to discern that his Internal Energy was the tenth layer.

Xie Grace suddenly cupped his hands slightly and said, “Brother He, although our Xie family is not the number one family of the Fire Crow country, we are still one of the four big influential families. Currently, our family’s leader is my elder brother Xie Nuanhang.

He Yiming immediately guessed former’s intentions, ‘So he is also trying to recruit me like Lin Taoli…”

Faintly waving his hand, He Yiming puzzledly said, “Mr. Xie, I truly don’t understand, with your ident.i.ty, why are you so courteous to this youngster. It surely couldn’t be because I treated you with bear meat, right?”

Inwardly, he added, ‘I truly can’t tell who treated whom, though.’

This was the question Xie Mingjin and the rest had been asking inwardly all along. Why a person like Xie Grace, who counted as one of the three top experts of Xie family, would attach so much importance to a random, strange youngster.
