24: Chapter 24 Ten Thousand Snakes Paying Homage

"What is this situation?" Lu Yuan asked with some curiosity.

Zhou Xiong's expression turned grave as he explained in a deep voice:

"Young Master, beast tides are usually triggered in one of two ways."

"First, a powerful BOSS is advancing, and the pressure it releases drives away other Magic Pets while attracting nearby kin to serve as an escort."

"Second, a special rare treasure has descended into the world."

A hint of gravity appeared in Bai Zhi's beautiful eyes.

"Regardless of which possibility it is, it means that a powerful existence far exceeding the current level will appear in the core area of this mountain range."

"The closer you get to the core area, the more dangerous it becomes."

"If you rush in blindly... it will be very dangerous."

"However, if you wish to go in, Young Master, we definitely have the ability to ensure your safety."

"I'm not going." Lu Yuan refused directly.

Kidding, right? Are the maids in the villa not delightful? Or is this big bed not comfortable enough to lie on?

Hearing Lu Yuan's decisive refusal, Bai Zhi and the others were left between laughter and tears.

The Young Master really is as lazy as ever.

However, Slime disagreed. It climbed onto Lu Yuan's shoulder and said with a serious face:

"Master, the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!"

"The more Magic Pets, the more EXP!"

"Let's go!"

Little Skeleton, hiding behind Lu Yuan, poked out half of its skull.

"Master, the beast tide is very dangerous. Let's hurry home."

Slime got angry, spat with a 'ptui', and started cursing directly.

"You coward!"

"So many Magic Pets gathered together. If I use Self-destruct, my EXP will skyrocket. And you want to run away?"

Little Skeleton wouldn't be outdone and argued its case.

"You're just a Slime with a worthless life, but Master has a noble status. He doesn't need to take such risks to level up."

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

The two Magic Pets each received a slap and instantly went quiet.

"I'm definitely not going into the beast tide."

"However, I can't let this opportunity to level up pass by."

As the level increases, leveling up becomes increasingly difficult.

Under normal circumstances, he can level up at most 1 to 2 times a day.

It's rare to have such an opportunity where Magic Pets gather, which is perfect for Slime to perform.

If we seize it well, we can definitely level up a few more times.

Besides, there will be many elite monsters in the beast tide. Little Skeleton can have a blast using Heartsteel.

Lu Yuan patted the two little guys.

"Uncle Zhou, please take Slime and Little Skeleton into the beast tide to farm monsters."

"I'll go in once the beast tide stabilizes."

"This way, you can train, and I won't have to run around in the mountains with you."

"Perfect."

Lu Yuan leaned lazily on the sofa and spread his hands.

Bai Zhi: "..."

Zhou Xiong: "..."

This method actually seems flawless.

Bai Zhi and Zhou Xiong exchanged a glance and shook their heads helplessly.

The Young Master is like this; he can always come up with some magical ideas just to be lazy.

Slime's eyes lit up.

"Master is wise! This Great King will go and have a blast blowing things up!"

Little Skeleton got anxious.

"Master, I protest! I object! Safety first!"

"Objection overruled."

Lu Yuan covered Little Skeleton's mouth, stopping it from continuing to chant in his ear.

"Rest assured, Uncle Zhou and those from the Paladin Guild will protect you. It's very safe."

"And you don't need to kill the monsters."

"You just need to find a chance to touch the monsters and trigger 'Heartsteel'."

"You are a smart skeleton; you know this is a good opportunity."

Ghost fire flickered constantly in Little Skeleton's hollow eye sockets. Finally, it nodded heavily.

"Fine, I'll go."

The tone was as tragic as if it were going to its death.

Slime curled its lip.

"Tch, drama queen."

"I already know what your ability is!"

"You can use Heartsteel, but don't you dare steal my kills again."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

Just then, a commotion came from the distance.

A well-equipped team walked over.

At the lead was a red-haired girl, paired with a fiery red mage robe, looking like a walking flame.

Xu Qianqian.

Behind her followed a dozen elites from the Demon Suppression Army, all of whom were professionals of at least level 30.

"Lu Yuan! I didn't expect you to be here too."

Seeing Lu Yuan, Xu Qianqian subconsciously raised her neck.

Lu Yuan turned back with some surprise, "Honey Badger, want to call me Daddy again?"

"You!!"

Xu Qianqian instantly bristled, but soon calmed down again.

"Hmph, this young lady isn't here to argue with you."

"Do you want to team up?"

"The commotion from this beast tide is so special; there must be good things inside."

"I brought elites from the Demon Suppression Army, and you have experts from the Paladin Guild on your side."

"If we join forces, we can definitely take down the big guy inside!"

Xu Qianqian reached out her hand with great sincerity; the exposed half of her arm was blindingly white.

Lu Yuan slightly lifted his eyelids.

"No."

Why share the BOSS EXP with others when I can enjoy it alone?

??? Xu Qianqian was stunned.

She didn't expect Lu Yuan to refuse without even thinking.

"Hmph, since you don't want to team up, then we're rivals."

"Let's just have another competition."

"Let's see who can take down the BOSS inside first, how about that?!"

Lu Yuan helplessly retorted: "Honey Badger's racial skill activated again?"

Xu Qianqian bristled, gritting her teeth, enunciating every word.

"I said, don't call me Honey Badger again!!"

"Okay, Honey Badger!"

"Ah, Lu Yuan! Just you wait, this time I will definitely make you kneel at this lady's feet and call me Mommy!"

Xu Qianqian was so angry that her teeth itched at Lu Yuan's indifferent attitude.

Lu Yuan's gaze swept back and forth across Xu Qianqian's slightly bulging chest, and he shook his head helplessly.

A truly capable woman doesn't need to force anyone; a bunch of underclassmen will chase after her calling her Mommy.

Just then, "Young Master Lu, Qianqian." "You guys are here too? What a coincidence!"

It was a youth wearing armor, with a handsome face and a warm smile.

Deng Tianhao walked over quickly, greeting them enthusiastically, acting as if they were very close.

Lu Yuan didn't give him any face and started cursing directly.

"We already tore off the mask last time, and you're still acting like a big shot?"

"Get lost, don't let me see you, damn it."

The smile on Deng Tianhao's face instantly froze.

"This isn't the territory of the Paladin Guild, why won't you let me in? Are you trying to bully others with your power?"

If you have no morals, you won't be held hostage by them.

Lu Yuan said expressionlessly: "I am bullying you with my power today, what can you do about it?"

As the words fell, Bai Zhi stepped forward, and a terrifying aura swept out.

Deng Tianhao was instantly blasted away.

He clenched his fists, watching the backs of Lu Yuan and Xu Qianqian as they walked away.

Hatred grew in his heart. Why?

I, Deng Tianhao, am a Diamond-class 'Thunder Swordsman'!

One of the top three geniuses of Magic City Royal Academy.

A noble son from a humble background, relying on his own strength to become a genius among geniuses.

Why do you always look down on me? Always bullying me!

Deng Tianhao took out a black crystal from his storage equipment, a trace of malice flashing in his eyes.

"Lu Yuan, Xu Qianqian, you forced me to do this."

"This time, I will trample you both fiercely under my feet."
