CHAPTER 43: CHAPTER 43: CORPSE-ERODING BEAST KING BLOODLINE

Lin Chen hurried over, ostensibly to comfort and clean, but actually to collect bloodlines.

[Corpse-Eroding Beast]

[High-level Mortal Beast]

[Dominant Bloodline: Corpse-Eroding Beast 55%, Nether Devouring Beast 12%]

[Hidden Bloodline: 21.22%]

[Polluted Bloodline: 11.78%]

"So high?!"

Lin Chen was surprised. Although he found this blood repulsive, he still collected it quickly and then helped Xiaobai wash its head.

.....

"Moo~~~"

After washing its head, Xiaobai used the stream water as a mirror to repeatedly ensure there was no slime, finally smiling again.

Great.

The hope of a cow’s life is renewed!

The Little Fox also laughed along beside them, but Xiaobai quickly shoved a necklace onto its neck.

"..." The Little Fox’s smile froze.

However, it soon started smiling again because Xiaobai tossed it onto the cow’s back.

Lin Chen also breathed a small sigh of relief and didn’t speak to Lee Zhen and the others. Instead, he asked Bai Jiajia, "Is everything alright?"

"Seems like there’s some consciousness coming back." Bai Jiajia’s complexion improved a bit.

"Let me take a look..." Lin Chen squatted down, checked the wounds, and started working on them.

"Wow, you’re a veterinarian too?" Bai Jiajia was surprised.

This guy is too versatile, right?

"Uh... currently learning." Lin Chen naturally wouldn’t pretend to understand completely, but he still needed to bluff.

Learning, that doesn’t mean he has to be proficient. Later if they asked him for medical help, he could just say he hasn’t mastered it yet.

Lin Chen thought this all very clearly.

The others, upon hearing this, had no doubts at all and even marveled at how studious Lin Chen was. Qin Hao even felt the urge to slap himself twice.

I’m just so lazy; from now on, I’ll only sleep six hours a day.

Lin Chen ignored them and concentrated on checking the data:

[Lightning Cat]

[High-level Mortal Beast]

[Dominant Bloodline: Lightning Cat 45.66%, Thunder Beast 33.4%]

[Hidden Bloodline: 11.26%]

[Polluted Bloodline: 9.68%]

"Not bad, the probability of evolving into a Thunder Beast in the future is quite high."

Deep in thought, Lin Chen glanced at his right hand; it wouldn’t do to collect right in front of everyone.

Unexpectedly, Sun Guang spoke up, saying, "How about you check my spirit beast too?"

What a great opportunity!

Lin Chen naturally wouldn’t refuse and stepped forward immediately.

Unfortunately, Sun Guang’s spirit beast bloodlines were ordinary, with only 5.2% hidden bloodline.

Lin Chen didn’t give up, planning to collect what he could first.

"Left hand is the Mooncrown Beast’s, right hand is the Lightning Cat’s..." Lin Chen reminded himself not to wash his hands and mix them up.

Qin Hao stepped forward to ask, "Brother Lin, how about..."

"I’ve already checked, Panlin Python has thick skin, it’s fine."

Lin Chen interrupted, casting a spell, refusing the request.

Panlin Python had already been collected, no need to check again.

Qin Hao had no doubts, only a bit puzzled since the Panlin Snake was quite seriously injured.

Lee Zhen, on the side, finally spoke, "Congratulations, you’ve won first place!"

"Now get on the Gale Beast to prepare for departure."

"Alright." Lin Chen and the others nodded.

Once they were on the Gale Beast, they finally relaxed a bit.

After such a battle, everyone was very tired, and their spirit beasts even fell asleep upon sitting down, having to be stored in the Beast Taming Space.

"Are we going to completely clear this place?" Lin Chen saw many Gale Beasts arriving, calling over numerous Monster Hunters.

"Yes."

Lee Zhen explained, "Although the Corpse-Eroding King is just a high-level Mortal Beast, from today’s perspective, its abilities are amazing, not only able to devour to strengthen itself, but if its spiritual control power reaches the Great Success Period, it will be a large-scale battlefield weapon."

Lin Chen pondered, realizing it was indeed so.

Whether to eliminate the threat or prevent a second such mutated Corpse-Eroding King from appearing here, the best solution was to clear it completely.

So Lin Chen said, "Speaking of rewards... Chairman Lee, our task this time should be out of scope, how about increasing the rewards a bit?"

"?"

Everyone was stunned, wondering when Lee Zhen mentioned rewards?

Lee Zhen rolled his eyes, thinking that Lin Chen, despite being so young, had such thick skin.

He sternly said, "It wasn’t out of scope; we actually knew it had this level of strength."

"Sigh~~" Lin Chen sighed.

Huang Xiaotian laughed inwardly, actually, Lee Zhen had previously said if Lin Chen could truly achieve this, they would increase their rewards this time.

Qin Hao thought of comforting Lin Chen, saying that the original reward was already quite high, unexpectedly hearing Lin Chen muttering softly:

"Had I known it was so dangerous, I should have waited a bit longer, let Ning Zimo fight a round first, they probably wouldn’t have won..."

"Then I would step in to help and earn a favor, collecting a million in rewards shouldn’t be a problem."

"..."

Everyone was silent, thinking the battle’s over, yet you’re still scheming against Ning Zimo?

They all had a common thought: never reveal wealth in front of Lin Chen...

Otherwise, it would easily be targeted.

But Xiaobai and Xiaohong both sighed heavily...

Such a pity!

So much money lost!

....

"The practical combat has ended!"

At the entrance of the Secret Realm, all the teams arrived.

The third and fourth teams were crestfallen, never expecting the first and second teams to become gatekeepers.

Now, they were all blocked here until the staff announced the news.

"Did they win?" asked a newbie ranked eighth.

"They won."

"I told you, this time’s Corpse-Eroding King wasn’t strong."

"Yeah, they got a lucky break."

A group of people sighed.

The staff chuckled, only mentioning a few keywords:

"Level Twelve!"

"Mutated Skills!"

"Spiritual Object Control!"

Everyone was dumbfounded in place, including Ning Zimo and Cai Yuanji.

Seriously?

Twelve levels?!

Dazed, they boarded the Gale Beast, and immediately saw Lin Chen and his team.

Lin Chen also saw them, stood up, waved, and shouted loudly.

Unfortunately, it was too far, and too fast to hear anything.

"Showing off!"

"They do have the right to show off."

Everyone felt irritated.

Until Lin Chen’s Gale Beast flew over, they finally heard Lin Chen’s voice clearly:

"Brother Ning, remember to give me the one hundred thousand; I need it urgently!"

"...."

Everyone was stunned, looking at Ning Zimo.

Ning Zimo rarely blushed, turning around.

What a guy.

It’s not like I won’t give it to you.

Is it necessary to shout in public?

...

Jiuxing City Market

"Still haven’t arrived?!"

Ever since that day, Jiang Dadong had been sending people daily to stake out.

Unfortunately, they hadn’t spotted him even once.

Instead, they often saw his peers also staking out.

Left with no choice, Jiang Dadong had to bribe the market uncle, telling him, if Lin Chen returned, to inform him immediately.

When the time comes, there’ll be a great reward.

The market uncle nodded; he didn’t plan to pocket this unexpected money, intending to give it all to Lin Chen for some roast chicken wings.

Just, where had Lin Chen gone...

"Could it be he landed a rich lady, no longer needing to work?"

The market uncle imagined Lin Chen’s face, more and more convinced this was the case.

After all, rich ladies love guys like him, fair-skinned and a bit handsome.
