Chapter 323 - Why Isn’t This Going According to the Script!? (2/2)
After another short while, Luo Er suddenly showed a strange expression. He reported, “Their scouting-type beast seems to have been ambushed by that exotic beast. It’s dead.”
Luo Wenjun and Zhang Che were speechless after hearing that.
-What’s going on? Why are they so careless? They clearly know that the exotic beast is extremely strong. Why did they just send their scouting-type beast to its death so easily?-
——
On the other side, Xiaowu was at a loss for words, too. His face was more bitter than a bittergourd. He said to the middle-aged man, “Big Brother, that exotic beast is too cunning. My scouting-type beast was caught in an ambush and died.”
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, reprimanding, “You knew that exotic beast isn’t simple. Why did you let your scouting beast charge in so recklessly?”
Xiaowu nearly cried. -I didn’t wish for that to happen, either! That was a dark gold-quality scouting-type beast that was worth nearly half of my fortune! Did you think I was willing to watch it die just like that?-
“I didn’t expect that exotic beast to be so cautious either, Big Brother. Previously it was clearly at another location. I even had my subdued beast circle around behind it to investigate it. In the end, that exotic beast was hiding on a mountain top and directly killed off my scouting-type beast from hundreds of meters away.”
The middle-aged man furrowed his brow deeply. He suddenly asked, “How far apart were the two different locations?”
“At least a few kilometers!” Xiaowu answered firmly.
“Let’s leave!” the middle-aged man said decisively, and turned back in the direction they came from.
Such a cunning exotic beast, in addition to its unfathomable strength, wasn’t something they could covet. Although they weren’t weak by any means, and had the strength to try fighting, the middle-aged man understood that it was bad to harbor the mindset of winning by luck in the beast world. Otherwise, it would be too late for regret if they ever capsized their boat in some ditch.
This man held great authority within the team. The moment he made the call to leave, none of the others actually said anything otherwise. They followed behind the middle-aged man and quickly retreated from the mountain range.
Their speed when leaving was faster than when they were going deeper. After only a quarter of an hour, they retreated to the outskirts of the mountain range.
——
On the rock platform at the waist of the mountain, Zhang Che and Luo Wenjun couldn’t help but exchange looks after hearing Luo Er describing this event.
Why didn’t this group of people follow the script?
Shouldn’t they rush up together and engage that exotic beast in a fight to the death, and Zhang Che would then obtain an epic-quality beast card, just like that?
Zhang Che thought to himself, -Is my Fisherman Zhang Halo not working today?-
-Mhm, it must be Luo Wenjun’s group that had affected my Halo effect. Otherwise, going by my past experience, I would only have to go forward to pick up scraps. Such situations would never have occurred.-
Seeing Zhang Che and Luo Wenjun not saying a word, Luo Er couldn’t help but ask softly, “Si-shao, Zhang-shao, what do we do now?”
“What to do? We continue waiting, of course. That fellow had already dragged on for so long. It should be about time for it to give birth.”
Luo Wenjun felt he was a failure after not being able to be a fisherman for once.
——
This wait went on for another half a day.
Seeing the sky had started to turn dark, the four of them had their dinner and prepared to rest for the night.
Luo Er suddenly exclaimed, “It’s about to give birth!”
