Chapter 138 Take the Place of the Heavens
Long Chen raised his head and saw three people standing not far behind him . Their eyes were bright as they looked at Long Chen; no, more accurately, they were looking at his fish cage .
“Kid, what are you still waiting here for? Hand over the Wonder Carps . ”
Long Chen nodded and placed the fish cage on the ground . Those three immediately rushed over and took out the Wonder Carps excitedly .
“They really are the legendary Wonder Carps . I heard this thing tastes so good that no one can resist it . I can’t believe we’ve managed to catch them here!” laughed one of them .
Long Chen icily watched these three excited fools . He didn’t say anything . He was interested whether they had any brains at all .
“Too bad we don’t have anywhere to put them . Spatial rings can’t store living creatures . Otherwise we could just capture a few and breed them . If we could end up with a farm of endless Wonder Carps, we’d be able to eat a feast every meal,” lamented one of of them .
“Hehe, my southern mountain Zhao family had a Forging Master ancestor . Do you recognize this?” One of the men who was a bit cross-eyed took out a ring proudly .
“What’s this? It looks like a spatial ring . ” The other two were puzzled .
“Hehe, do you not understand? This is called a life ring . You can put living creatures inside it . It was made by one of Zhao family’s ancestors . ” The cross-eyed man was extremely pleased with himself .
“You can put living things inside it? Excellent! Then can brother Zhao also put his housepets within this life ring?” Those two looked at him enviously .
“Cough, it should be possible . But this is a relic of a dead ancestor, and due to his memory, I refuse to place Magical Beasts within . That would be a kind of blasphemy to my ancestor . ”
The cross-eyed man coughed and covered up his embarra.s.sment . In reality, life rings were more than capable of storing Magical Beasts within . However, his ancestor had only been half a Forging Master . To be more accurate, he had really just been an apprentice .
So this life ring was really a defective product when compared to true life rings . Only a couple creatures with weaker life forces could be placed within . It couldn’t even store some of the more powerful wild beasts, let alone Magical Beasts . But he refused to tell them this .
“Then does brother Zhao want to place these Wonder Carps inside this life ring?” asked one of them .
“Of course . ”
“Aren’t you afraid of blaspheming against your ancestor?”
“Ah, that’s not the same . If I placed a Magical Beast within, it would mess around, probably peeing everywhere . That’s a blasphemy . But a Wonder Carp is an absolute delicacy . My ancestor would definitely be happy for such a thing, so it’s not a blasphemy,” said the cross-eyed man without blus.h.i.+ng at all .
“This…,” the other two hesitated slightly .
Now they had three Wonder Carps, so each of them could have one . They were somewhat apprehensive to place them all with the cross-eyed man .
“What, do you two not trust your brother? All of us are followers of boss Lei . Do you guys not even have that little bit of trust?”
The other two hastily said, “How could we not trust you? We’re just curious whether the life ring really could raise fish, that’s all . ”
How could the cross-eyed man not see through that lie? But he only lightly said, “We’re all chasing after boss Lei . Our families sent over many benefits to him, so boss Lei still decided to accept us . But after arriving here, you guys have also seen how intense the compet.i.tion is here . Even though we’re definitely top ranking in terms of power, we… b.a.s.t.a.r.d, what are you laughing about?”
The cross-eyed man saw that Long Chen was laughing and angrily pointed at him .
“Oh, nothing… you guys continue . ” Long Chen did his best to keep his laughter inside . But these clowns made that extremely difficult .
From what the cross-eyed man was saying, Long Chen could guess that their families had sent over many gifts to the Lei family already, and that was the only reason Lei Qianshang had agreed to let them join his faction .
These three fools possessed faces that were just asking for a beating . It was almost as if he would be letting down their parents if he didn’t give them a beating .
Lei Qianshang definitely wouldn’t care about such people . It was only because he had received orders from his family that he had accepted them .
Seeing Long Chen’s twisted face, they a.s.sumed he was afraid of them and couldn’t help snorting . “Although our power is top ranking, there are too many others who also have top ranking strength . There are even a few who are even more outstanding than us . We have to be ready for anything . ”
The other two nodded to the cross-eyed man’s words . Although both of them knew he was self-boasting to call their power ‘top ranking’, they themselves were already clear just what kind of level they themselves had reached .
“Thus we have to display proper loyalty and devotion to boss Lei . Only then can we improve our relations.h.i.+p even more . ”
“Right, brother Zhao’s words are completely correct!” the other two admiringly said .
“And so don’t be suspicious . We’ll hand over all these things to boss Lei . What do you two think?”
“Yes, brother Zhao is right! If brother Zhao hadn’t given us this reminder, we really would have made a mistake! Brother Zhao’s eyes truly are discerning, penetrating through everything!”
