Chapter 372: Bargain

Suddenly, without any warning, the fangwolves began to fall in large numbers. Han Yue did not see how the strange man’s hand was moving at all when it began.

How was that possible? Han Yua and the rest of the group looked at the strange man in disbelief.

”What a strange man!” Han Yue knitted his brows and whispered to himself. To him, the strange man was probably an alchemist, since wide ranged attacks were an ability unique to alchemists. However, no alchemist could attack without leaving any traces of how it was done, much less in front of a group of combat experts. That seemed to be what mentalists could do. In terms of unexpectedness and concealed attacks, mentalists were the best of the lot. However, it was hard to imagine a mentalist killing so many fangwolves single-handedly. Could he be a combat expert? His kick earlier was quite strong, but not enough to convince people that he was a combat expert.

Just who was this man? All of them were troubled by the same question.

Ye Chong ignored the curious stares from the group. They would not be able to see his pouring movements on the glider. Beside, before he jumped down from the glider, he had opened up a few leaf bags from his waist, which contained knockout agents, thus surrounding him with a dense, colorless and scentless cloud of knockout agents. These knockout agents had some ingredients that helped them spread faster in the air, thus their effects had spread out surprisingly quickly.

Only someone who had a smoke pearl like Ye Chong could make this plan work. It was no wonder that Han Yue and company were baffled.

The sky was clear, and there was no wind at all. The knockout agent did not spread out as quickly as he had wished, covering only a 30-meter radius around Ye Chong. Within this radius, none of the fangwolves could stay conscious.

At the center of this large hoard of fangwolves was a 30-meter radius clearing, where fangwolves lay on the ground. Standing at the center was a strange looking man, carrying two boxes. The fangwolves beyond the perimeter were unsettled, but none of them stepped closer to the man.

Strange, very strange indeed! Despite Han Yua and his company’s rich travelling experience, they had never seen anything like it.

Ye Chong relaxed as he saw the knockout agents kicking into effect. While he had a few other tricks up his sleeves, it was better to use the simplest method. The Black Forest was full of treasures, but he would never enter it again without a mech. This meant that whatever resources he brought from that place would deplete as he used them. Some things, like the redsand dehydrator, were things that he did not know how to replicate yet. He did not want to use them all up until he could replicate them.

Ye Chong prepared to leave. He studied his surroundings for a moment. There was a wide river not too far away. Perhaps it would be a good idea to walk along the river.

Seeing the strange man about to leave, Han Yue and group finally reacted.

”Han Family’s Han Yue begged for your assistance!” Han Yue shouted at Ye Chong’s back. His throat was already dry from his earlier exertions, so his voice sounded cracked and hoarse.

The Han Family? Ye Chong stopped in his tracks. Huang Baiyi once told him that one of the two tribes on Dankwood planet that had starships was the Han Family.

Seeing the strange man halting, Han Yue felt relieved and spoke even more humbly, ”If you can please lend your assistance, the Han Family will definitely repay you generously!” He spoke this with determination, evincing a sense of trustworthiness. He stole a quick glance at his comrades at the outer edge, fighting a losing fight, and grew even more desperate, but dared not show it in his eyes. To him, Ye Chong was one of those otherworldly respectable elites. He knew that these kind of people were often solitary, and so he treaded with care.

”Repay me generously?” Ye Chong understood that part. He turned back to Han Yue and asked, ”With what?” He asked this easily. Bargaining was something that Mu/Shang had taught him repeatedly. He remembered it well, and had basically adopted it for himself. The way he saw it, he was not related to these people, and was thus not obliged to save them. If it was a bargain, however … He could accept that.

A few people around Han Jie looked at Ye Chong with anger and despise. They were furious that this strange man had seen it fit to negotiate terms, given their dire situation. Every second mattered, and any one of them could die at any time. They despised him because they had thought he was some otherworldly gentleman, but he had acted sordidly.

Han Yue thought differently. He was secretly pleased to see the man interested in his proposal. He was afraid that the man would be unmoved by these worldly pleasures. Since this was not the case, then there was hope yet. He was confident of his family’s power. There was nothing the Han Family cannot do on Dankwood planet. His priority right now was to escort the Old Mistress back to their home.

”What would you like to have?” Han Yue asked carefully.

Ye Chong cocked his head to the side and thought about it.
