Chapter 6 Martial Arts Skill Library (Part Two) (2/2)
More than ten teams were recruiting teammates. It was dangerous even outside the Barren Wasteland because it was highly possible that the beasts superior to level five would appear at night. It would be risky to stay late without teammates.
Darren observed that the basic requirement to join any of the teams was a cultivator superior to the fourth stage of the Primary Realm, but he was only at the third stage. No teams would want him as a member.
It would be too dangerous to stay here alone. Darren had no choice but to casually pick a team that was still recruiting teammates.
”Hey guys. May I join you?”
There were four members in this team. They were looking for one more teammate before they set off.
”What's your cultivation base, man?” a young man asked humbly.
”The third stage of the Primary Realm,” Darren answered.
The young man's expression darkened at once.
”What the hell is wrong with you? Haven't you heard what we want is a cultivator of the fifth stage? Go away, trash!”
Darren became angry as well, and he retorted, ”Watch your mouth! You don't have to turn me down in such a rude manner.”
”Fuck off! Trash! I say you are trash. Do you have a problem with it? If you do, you can discuss it with my fist. Go to hell!”
The young man raised his fist towards Darren.
”Wait! Would you like to be our teammate, man? We need a helper to pack dead beasts,” a graceful young man in luxury clothes said to Darren.
”Who the hell-” Once he saw who had spoken, the arrogant young man swallowed down all the vicious words he was ready to spout just moments earlier. He apologized at once, ”I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, my lord! I didn't realize who you were, Mr. Jared.”
The graceful young man shot a fierce look at him, and the man turned tail and ran.
”Yes!” Darren answered without a second thought.
Then Jared Qi leaded Darren to his party. Darren found that there were five members in Jared's team, including two beautiful girls.
”Let me introduce everyone! This is Kyle Zhang, Marvin Zhou, Phil Li, Corrine Gu, and Elsa Gongsun,” Jared said to Darren.
”Hello everyone, my name is Darren Chu.”
”Nice to meet you, Darren! Welcome to our team. We need you to pack dead beasts and carry some necessities for us,” the girl named Corrine Gu said to Darren with a smile.
”Okay! No problem,” Darren answered with a nod. He didn't mind doing the manual labor for them. His real purpose was not the dead beasts for sale but to absorb the wild beasts' talent. The five members were all strong cultivators. The team leader, Jared Qi, was at least a cultivator of the sixth stage of the Primary Realm. And the other four were all at least at the fifth stage.
There was no harm for Darren to follow them.
”All right, guys! Let's set off right now. Your work will pay off after we leave here safely,” Jared Qi, the strongest cultivator in the team, said to Darren. Then they followed Jared's lead and headed into the black forest of the Barren Wasteland.
