Chapter 323 - Why Isn’t This Going According to the Script!? (1/2)

Since they were going to act as fishermen, they mustn’t be seen by the other party.

As such, they quickly returned to the rock platform and used their beast card weapons to widen the crevice behind it, hiding inside and leaving only Luo Er’s scouting-type beast to observe the situation from the sky.

“Brother Zhang, do you reckon we’re being immoral for doing this?” Luo Wenjun suddenly looked at Zhang Che, smiling, “But, I like it! Hahahaha…”

Zhang Che was speechless. It seemed like that guy had never tried setting others up before.

-Ai, is an honest boy like him going to be led astray by me?-

——

At the edge of the mountain range, along the mountain ridge, a group of eight beastmasters were carefully making their way to the core area of the mountain range with a large army of subdued beasts.

Hints of excitement could be seen on their faces.

Ever since they had entered the mountain range, they had not met any exotic beasts. This was an extremely unusual sign. The only explanation for this was that an extremely powerful exotic beast was deep in the mountain range, occupying the area by itself.

An exotic beast that could dominate a mountain range by itself had to be legend-quality at least, right?

Not only that, it was very likely to be an epic-quality beast!

The combined strength of those eight beastmasters wasn’t low. There were three legend-quality subdued beasts in their ranks, and one of them was even at seven-star. They totally had a shot at this.

Among the group of eight, their leader was a middle-aged man with long, narrow eyes. Currently, he was looking into the depths of the mountain range. He turned to a youngster at his side and asked, “Xiaowu, has your scouting-type beast finished checking the area? Did it find any other beastmasters?”

The man addressed as Xiaowu nodded and answered, “Big Brother, it is done scouting. No other beastmasters were found in the surrounding several dozen kilometers. We are already deep into the beast world; it wouldn’t be coincidental if others were around here…”

The middle-aged man nodded. The group continued on their way.

After a short while, Xiaowu suddenly exclaimed in surprise and said to the middle-aged man, “I found it, Big Brother! My scouting-type beast saw a leopard-like exotic beast at the core of the mountain range. It gives off a very powerful aura, and it discovered my scouting-type beast from a few kilometers away!”

Looks of surprise colored the group’s faces. It went without saying that an exotic beast who could discover a scouting-type beast several kilometers away had to be epic-quality at the least!

The middle-aged man furrowed his brow slightly, and fell into deep thought.

Such a powerful exotic beast wasn’t something they could kill easily. If they were even slightly careless, their group might get wiped out. They couldn’t afford any carelessness.

Seeing the middle-aged man not responding, a well-built, bearded man said eagerly, “Big Brother, what are your plans? Tell us! If we can kill this exotic beast, we won’t have anything to fear under the heavens! There won’t be anywhere in the beast world we can’t go!”

“Third Brother, what are you so anxious for?” the middle-aged man chided, glaring at the well-built man. He said deliberately, “At present, we still don’t have a clear idea on that exotic beast’s strength. If we were to charge at it thoughtlessly, it is simply no different from us rushing to our deaths.”

After a short pause, the middle-aged man turned to look at Xiaowu and said, “Xiaowu, let your scouting-type beast go check things out clearer. See if it can find out how strong the exotic beast is.”

Xiaowu nodded excitedly. He knew his Big Brother was moved, but the latter didn’t have a good idea on how strong the exotic beast was, and thus told him to investigate further.

——-

In the crevices about fifty kilometers away, Luo Er suddenly said to Zhang Che and Luo Wenjun, “Si-shao, Zhang-shao, their scouting-type beast is headed for the center of the mountain range.”

Luo Wenjun and Zhang Che exchanged glances. They knew the other party was planning to make a move, and so they moved to investigate the exotic beast’s strength.

Ah, profiting from others’ work, and staying hidden from the hunters. The two were getting excited just thinking about it.
