129: Chapter 129 Being a Beast Tamer is Very Tiring

The girls looked at each other upon seeing this scene, their faces filled with confusion.

"What's the situation?"

"Is that monster not planning to attack us?"

"Could it be because it has no anti-air capabilities?"

"That should be impossible! Just from that roar earlier, we would have died if not for Little Brother Chen Yi's defense. How could it not have anti-air capabilities?"

"Then why is this happening? And I feel like that demonic beast seems to have intelligence?"

"Mr. Chen Yi, looking at your expression, it seems you already know everything?"

As soon as Hua Yuetong finished speaking, The girls' gazes all fell on Chen Yi in unison.

A hint of curiosity flashed in all of their beautiful eyes, as if they were anticipating his next answer.

Seeing this, Chen Yi let out a deep sigh and slowly said, "I told you before about my ex-girlfriend, Liu Ruyan, right?"

"This monster's situation is exactly the same as Liu Ruyan's; it's also an existence formed from a spirit beast's demonization!"

"Looking at its appearance, it should be a certain spirit beast from the Indian Beast Tamer Squad that underwent demonization!"

"As for why it didn't attack us, I reckon it's because we saved her life during the Final Trial earlier!"

As soon as these words were spoken, expressions of disbelief appeared on The girls' faces.

Before setting off for the Five Elements Secret Realm, they had naturally heard Chen Yi talk about his relationship history.

Liu Ruyan's situation, no matter how far-fetched, could still be explained as her contract being terminated during the Final Exam, leading to demonization during the assessment.

However, those Indian spirit beasts had come to explore the secret realm with them. How could they possibly have come here in a state where their contracts were terminated?

Even if there was a one-in-a-million chance they really came here with terminated contracts, how could their strength increase so much after demonization?

And even after becoming demonic beasts, how could they choose to leave after just glancing at Chen Yi?

However, looking at Chen Yi's certain expression, he didn't seem to be joking.

What exactly was happening to this world?

The girls' hearts were filled with doubt.

Seeing the atmosphere turn a bit strange, Chen Yi clapped his hands, breaking the silence, and said, "Don't worry about these things! Since that thing has no hostility toward us, let's take this opportunity to quickly scavenge all the resources and then head back!"

"Mhm!!!"

The girls all chimed in agreement.

Although they still had many doubts in their hearts, since Chen Yi had said so, there was naturally no reason not to comply.

After all, they shouldn't forget their original intention. Their purpose for coming here was to find treasure, not to investigate these chaotic matters.

Although this was an act of God, it could be considered a good thing that all the people who might have leaked information were dealt with because of this incident.

After returning, they would tell Luo Qinghe about this again. For now, they would focus on treasure hunting!

Having the heart of the secret realm all to themselves without anyone else to disturb them felt quite good!

And most importantly, the mountain of rainbow crystals collected by Wang Ruochen and the Indian Beast Tamer Squad seemed to be some distance from here and wasn't affected by the battle just now.

Shouldn't they happily take it all?

Even though they wished these people who wanted to harm Chen Yi had died sooner—the treasures were innocent!

Soon, a day passed.

In the foothills area, a total of over 3,200 rainbow crystals were all taken by Chen Yi!

Although he didn't know how much this stuff was worth, using it for his own cultivation was definitely a massive gain!

At this point, they had arguably finished scavenging all the good treasures in the heart of the secret realm!

As for that Netherworld Behemoth, they hadn't seen it again since then.

For such a massive creature to completely vanish without a trace was quite bizarre—

But it didn't matter; as long as the treasures were in hand, it was fine!

"Mr. Chen Yi, what is this?"

"It feels quite miraculous!"

Just then, the sisters Hua Yuetong and Hua Xingtong discovered a stone that was constantly burning next to Wang Ruochen's incinerated corpse.

This stone was about the size of a fist, its entire body a deep dark red, covered by a layer of flames.

Yet, touching it didn't give any sensation of warmth; there was even a slight chill.

However, if it were brought close to clothing, it would ignite the fabric. It was very miraculous!

"Let me see—"

As it turned out, one look was all it took to shock him.

This thing—it was exactly the treasure Chen Yi had come to the Fire Zone to find!

【Wild Flame Bell Spirit Stone: 8-Star】

【Activates the Fire Attribute formation base of the Five Elements Formation Array. Needs to be used in conjunction with other fire attribute heaven and earth spiritual treasures.】

"What is this?"

"Is it something good?"

Hua Yuetong and Hua Xingtong looked at Chen Yi expectantly and asked.

Chen Yi smiled slightly, reached out both hands, and gently stroked the heads of these two little girls.

Due to their spiritual power dissipating, their strength was limited, and their speed in digging for rainbow crystals was a bit too slow.

So, Chen Yi had specifically arranged for them to loot the corpses to see if they could find anything good.

He hadn't expected them to actually find a real treasure this time; they had almost missed it!

This Wang Ruochen was indeed not simple, to even be able to get a Wild Flame Bell Spirit Stone!

Perhaps Wang Shihao's status as a grandson really was something worth pondering!

"Good job, this thing is a bell spirit stone!"

"Really? That's wonderful!"

Just then, Hua Xingtong suddenly became a bit shy, a blush creeping onto her cheeks. She said somewhat hesitantly, "Mr. Chen Yi, um—since we found this treasure, can we have a reward?"

The corners of Chen Yi's mouth curled up as he replied readily, "No problem. You two can have whatever reward you want, as long as it's something I can provide!"

Hearing Chen Yi's words, a blush also appeared on Hua Yuetong's face as she whispered, "Mr. Chen Yi, the reward we want is—when we rest later, can you spend some time with the two of us?"

"Although we can't form a contract with you yet, and doing that kind of thing won't increase our affinity..."

"But—we truly want to be with you from the bottom of our hearts. There's absolutely no falsehood in our words!"

"So—can we take up one night of your time? We want to leave some traces that belong to you, Mr. Chen Yi—"

Hearing this, Chen Yi's eyebrows raised slightly, a hint of surprise welling up in his heart.

These two girls had actually become so proactive?

His gaze swept over their system interfaces.

Hua Yuetong's favorability had reached 75 points, while Hua Xingtong's favorability was at 80 points.

With their current favorability, it was only natural for them to have such thoughts.

After thinking about it, Chen Yi nodded and agreed, "No problem! But only once, okay~~ We'll wait until after the contract for anything more! After all, as you both know, being a Beast Tamer is exhausting!"
