C35 (1/2)

Ge Yan finally understood how alluring the Dragon Fruit's power was. According to Ted's words, there were other fruits in the process of breaking through the ninth stage, such as the Dragon Strength Fruit.

Not only was there no side effect, the success rate was also 100%. But the Dragon Strength Fruit was only 1% of a Dragon Fruit's rarity, and no one had ever found it in any of the places in the past few years, so everyone was so excited when they heard about the Dragon Fruit.

Even though Daniel was only a Level 4 Sword Master now, after obtaining the Dragon Fruit, he could use some methods to store them away. At that time, it would also be possible to use them again.

”Captain, should we spread the news?”

When Ted thought of this question, the moment he finished speaking, he was glared at by Daniel.

”Spread it out for others to come and steal from us? It's only just Locke, last time he didn't use his real identity, this time he won't let them off so easily, I'm taking the Dragon Fruit for sure. ” Daniel's facial features suddenly became sharp, and his body started to emit an imposing aura that was determined to win.

Ge Yan's eyes flashed. Only he knew, that Daniel's wish was destined to not come true, but when he sent his people to investigate about the specific details, the news of the Dragon Fruit's appearance spread like wildfire, and in less than a day, it had become known to everyone, and in the end, everyone was discussing about it. When Daniel's subordinates heard about it, they hurriedly ran back, and upon hearing that the news was spread, Daniel did not become as furious as everyone had expected, but instead had an attitude of anticipation.

”Captain, aren't you angry?” Ted was the first to be pushed out, and came in front of him and asked.

Daniel waved his hand, ”There's nothing to be angry about, the Dragon Fruit is such a big thing, I can't hide it even if I wanted to.

It's been notified already, there's also concrete information on the Dragon Fruit, and it's definitely within the Magic Beast Forest. As for the specific maturation time, we still have to verify it, but we heard that the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment has departed, and there's still the crow Mercenary Regiment, their speed is not slow. ”Yes,” another replied.

Daniel walked back and forth in his original position, then turned around and made a decision, ”We can't wait any longer, notify them immediately, and set off in half an hour, we have to hurry to our destination before the Dragon Fruit matures.”

”Yes, sir.”

Ge Yan thought that they would not bring him along as a burden, but the moment he walked out of the door, he was brutally dragged away by Ted. When he found out that he was also going to Magic Beast Forest, he was stupefied.

”If you don't go, you're going to stay here?” Ted retorted quickly, not giving her the tone to refuse.

Ge Yan did not directly answer him, and said: ”My strength is so low, and I'm not too familiar with Magic Beast Forest either.

”Not necessarily.” Ted smiled mysteriously.

Ge Yan asked, but he kept quiet, so he hated people who kept half of their words.

In order to gain more time, they would travel nonstop during the day and night. Sometimes, they would only stop to rest for an hour or two, but they were completely unable to sleep soundly, because Ted and the others were already used to this kind of travelling intensity, but it was the first time that Ge Yan experienced this kind of pain. Within a few days, his face became as haggard as a national treasure, and after being mocked like a weak chicken by Ted, Ge Yan was too lazy to argue with him.

Although it was tiring, the advantage was that the original distance of seven to eight days had been shortened to four days. And this was under the condition that they had to take a shortcut. If they were to take the official road, it would take at least half a month.

The evening sun hung on the treetops, drawing the shadows of the group even more slender than bamboo poles. In front of them was an endless expanse of Magic Beast Forest, looking from afar, it looked like an opening black hole, as if it would be engulfed if it got any closer. The sun was overhead, but it did not feel that hot.

The first destination for the group was Sag City, which was not far from the Magic Beast Forest. Sago City was a fortress facing the Magic Beast Forest, and the huge city gates and walls had mottled marks left behind, left behind from the attacks of the Magic Beast tide every year. From these marks, one could see how tragic the year was, and because of that, the city guards were extremely strict with the outsiders who entered Sag City.

Daniel's group all carried with them the killing intent unique to strong mercenaries. The city guards asked about them according to convention, and after knowing that they were Alice's Mercenary Regiment, they immediately became extremely respectful.

Ge Yan thought that if he came here alone, he would probably be questioned by the others as if he was a traitor.

After entering the city, they turned several corners and arrived at a house. Upon entering the house, they saw two mercenaries guarding outside. When they saw them arrive, the two mercenaries revealed expressions of joy.

”Captain, you've finally arrived. Madam is already waiting for you inside.”

Daniel nodded, ”Thank you.”

At this time, a person suddenly walked out quickly from inside, so fast that even when standing in front of them, there was a gust of wind blowing towards them, it was the lady they were talking about, her beautiful face was no longer young or tender, but not old at all. Her wavy hair was stuck to her waist, golden light shone on her back, her enchanting figure revealed the charm of a mature woman, her tight red dress seemed very neat and clean, and when she did not speak, she had a strong woman's scent, and when she opened her mouth, she immediately gave off a fiery and violent aura, as if she knew that this person was not to be provoked.
