He used to live with his mother in the Qiu City at that time. His grandma and grandma loved him very much, and his mother's position in the Ding Clan was not that high, but by relying on her identity as a genius, she could call the wind and summon the rain in the Ding Clan. She was still a little tyrant.
It had been four years since his maternal grandma, grandpa, and mother had gone missing. Four years … He hadn't come to Qiu City for so long in such a long time. Bai Chen followed the crowd and enjoyed the scenery of Qiu City. For four years, Qiu City hadn't changed much.
After renting a shabby little house with Yan Le, Bai Chen followed him to the Adventurer's Guild. If one were to mention the most bustling place in a city, it would definitely belong to the Adventurer's Guild.
The plaza was filled with a clamor, and one spirit user after another laughed and conversed with each other. If one looked carefully, they would see that most of the spirit users were carrying spirit weapons that were still stained with blood, and every one of them had a kind of aggressive aura that could only be found on a magical beast.
After yesterday's battles, coupled with the fact that he was a body practitioner, Bai Chen also had his own aura. He did not look like a novice, and no one dared to look down on him.
Yan Le skillfully found a seat and sat down. He took out a wine jug and gulped it down. He then exchanged information with a small group of adventurers.
”The 30-man team of Silver Maple Trading Company is purchasing a variety of magical beasts at a fair price. The one who wants to make a fortune should hurry up and register.”
Yan Le, hearing the commotion, slapped Bai Chen in the face and said, ”Ah Chen, let's go. Silver Maple Trading Company's reputation is pretty good. We might even be able to earn quite a bit of money this time.”
The most valuable thing about a magical beast was naturally the magical crystal, but the value of a magical beast's fur, muscles, bones, even its internal organs and flesh was not small, and could not be separated from the production of medicines, spiritual weapons, and clothing. But after entering the mountain range, the adventurers could not bring a magical beast forward, they could only take away the magical crystal, and the rest of the magical beasts were thrown away, one had to know, a magical beast's corpse was not much cheaper than a magical crystal.
This was a common mode of purchase for caravans. The caravan hired 30 ordinary people to drive the Hunchbacked Beasts, and then recruited some adventurers to go together to the Dark Night Mountain Range. The adventurers only killed the magical beasts, and then brought back the corpses, and the ordinary people would then dismember the bodies, leaving behind the parts needed for the shop. There were two meters high Hunchbacked Beasts carrying the goods, and among the ordinary people, there were three to five Spirit Apostles to activate the formation, making it very easy for the magical beasts to not rot.
A team of adventurers would not accept these kinds of missions. There were ordinary people in the team, and it was a very big backpack, and with so many people walking together, there had always been a lot of strange people. In fact, the most important thing was that no one would be able to trust a stranger with their back!
If not for Bai Chen, Yan Le would never have taken part in these kinds of missions. But now, these kinds of missions were very suitable for rookies like Bai Chen. After all, there were many people around.
As soon as Yan Le left, the people from the Silver Maple Trading Company became interested. A storekeeper personally came to receive him.
”Haha …” ”Welcome, welcome! I am Liu Danian, the owner of Silver Maple Trading Company.”
”Yan Le, this is my brother, Bai Chen.” Yan Le introduced.
The shopkeeper glanced at Bai Chen and did not seem to mind. Advanced Spirit Apostles would not even be qualified to enter the caravan if not for Yan Le.
”Manager, how many people are still missing?”
Perfect. Including you eight Spirit Hunters this time, there are five primary level Spirit Masters and one intermediate level Spirit Master. With a high level Spirit Master like you, the strength of the hunting team will greatly increase.
”Sure, sure. When will the caravan depart?”
”Everyone is here. Since it's early today, the rations and water caravan has made some preparations. If you're fine, then it's best for you to leave today.”
Yan Le thought about it for a moment. The two of them were fine, so he nodded in agreement.
The caravan was not small; there were 30 ordinary people chasing the Hunchbacked Beast and the other six people in the hunting team stood together. It was clear that the six of them were a small team, and when they saw Bai Chen and Xiao Chen, the six of them did not even take a glance at them.
”Psykers respect strength. Here, Yan Le is the most powerful. This time, we'll just let Yan Le be the leader of the caravan. Do you have any objections?” Liu Danian said confidently.
”Humph!” I'm sorry, but the five of us are used to listening to our boss. If he thinks he can beat us, then we will naturally listen to whatever he says. ”
Liu Danian's face turned dark as he looked at the six of them. He nodded slowly and said, ”Okay, in that case, the five of you better listen to your boss. Brother Yan Le, I will leave the rest of the caravan to you.”
”Sure, sure.” Right now, he truly regretted joining Silver Maple Trading Company. He hadn't expected that such a small caravan would have so many things to deal with.
The merchant caravan had supplies, and they did not have a single person. After replenishing their supplies, Bai Chen followed the merchant caravan into the depths of the Dark Night Mountain Range.
