690: Arrival at Green Town
Edge of the Demon Beast Forest.
Green Field Town.
When Wang Chen arrived at this small town with the Dark Tyrant Ape Cub, the sight that met his eyes made him almost believe he had come to a gathering point outside a Blue Star monster aggregation area.
The bustling atmosphere gave him a very familiar feeling.
The endless stream of people and the transcendents selling Demonic Beast Materials directly by setting up stalls on both sides of the road made Wang Chen, who had just arrived, involuntarily smile.
If it weren't for the small scale of the town and its not-so-tall buildings, the feeling here would even be more prosperous than Qing Shi City.
However, this was normal; as the town closest to the Demon Beast Forest, Green Field Town could be said to be a hub between the outside world and the Demon Beast Forest, with a considerably large flow of people coming and going daily.
Moreover, the vast majority of these people were transcendents of considerable strength, and their spending power was incomparable to ordinary people, with a huge daily transaction volume of Holy Quartzs.
But this also led to the somewhat distorted prosperity of Green Field Town, with most shops selling various Demonic Beast Materials and items, as well as industries providing various services for transcendents.
Almost everything was centered around transcendents.
Entering Green Field Town, the noise in the town's central square caught Wang Chen's attention.
“Experienced hunter team recruiting a warlock, spoils can be equally divided upon joining, only those with strength above Tier 3, those below this strength need not bother, if an adult warlock above Tier 4 is willing to join, the profit-sharing ratio can be discussed.”
“Hunting Iron-Armed Apes, requires a thick-skinned Tier 3 Martial Master, preferably one who Cultivates Body Refining Cultivation Technique, interested parties please discuss in detail.”
“Entering the Demon Beast Forest to find Materials, requires an elite team for escort, preferably all members above Tier 3, daily remuneration of one thousand Holy Quartzs, if the Materials I need are found, additional Holy Quartz rewards can be given depending on the situation.”
“...”
The shouts in the square were incessant, bustling like a noisy market.
As Wang Chen passed by, his handsome appearance and unusual clothes attracted the attention of many people.
However, most people, upon seeing the Dark Tyrant Ape Cub on his shoulder, all wisely withdrew their gaze.
The Dark Tyrant Ape, a terrifying Demonic Beast capable of contending with Tier 7 upon adulthood, was also an extremely dangerous existence in the Demon Beast Forest.
The Cub of such a powerful Demonic Beast was extremely valuable.
Most of the transcendents present knew their place; someone capable of contracting a Dark Tyrant Ape Cub was simply not on their level.
Shamelessly trying to cozy up would only earn them a roll of the eyes.
Moreover, such a person definitely had a powerful force behind him, and would have his own team when entering the Demon Beast Forest.
If they were to recruit in the square, they would even worry if the other party was recruiting cannon fodder.
No one came to disturb him, and Wang Chen was happy for the peace.
Standing at the edge of the square, quietly observing the bustling scene for a moment, Wang Chen then turned and walked towards the inn in the town.
This place was good, though a bit noisy, it was orderly, and the flow of people was large.
It was perfect for him to recover from his injuries and gather some information.
Green Field Inn.
As the main gathering place for transcendents coming to Green Field Town, this inn's footprint was more than three times larger than the Youjian Inn where Wang Chen stayed in Qing Shi City.
Just the lobby upon entering was half the size of a football field.
The hall was almost full, with most being transcendents returning from the Demon Beast Forest, here to relax and have fun.
They chatted about everything under the sun, boasting about their achievements and experiences.
However, at this time, the things these transcendents were discussing had nothing to do with the Demon Beast Forest.
Instead, it was the major event that had just happened not long ago.
“Did you guys see that terrifying explosion earlier? Does anyone know what exactly happened? I was fighting a One-Horned Python in the Demon Beast Forest at the time, and when I heard the explosion, it scared the hell out of me, and I almost got a hole opened in me by the One-Horned Python.”
“You felt such a terrifying commotion in the Demon Beast Forest, what we felt here in Green Field Town was even worse!”
“That was definitely a battle between God-Devil level powerhouses; even hundreds of miles away, that terrifying power fluctuation was clearly visible here.”
“According to the news released by the City Lord's Mansion, two Devil Heads came to our Qing Shi City territory not long ago, and upon their appearance, they directly destroyed Blackwood Town in one fell swoop, thousands of people had no chance to resist and were sucked dry of their blood by the Devil Heads using Demonic Technique and turned into mummies; the entire Blackwood Town was spared by none!”
“Oh my goodness, that brutal? It's been so many years since I've heard of such a brutal person. How was it handled later? A fierce person who dares to directly destroy a town is probably at least Tier 8 or above. If the royal family doesn't make a move, our entire Qing Shi City would be as weak as chicks in front of them.”
“What good end could such a Devil Head have? People from the City Lord's Mansion said that after the Devil Head committed the bloodbath, he happened to be encountered by a wandering Tier 9 adult and was immediately annihilated!”
“You didn't see it, the entire Blackwood Town was wiped off the map, the destruction left behind was comparable to an earthquake. I think it won't be long before another lake appears in our Qing Shi City territory.”
“Damn it, I couldn't witness such a world-shaking battle with my own eyes, it's truly one of the biggest regrets in life!”
“Zhao Laosan, stop sighing senselessly. With your meager strength, if you really went to watch the battle, you probably wouldn't even be able to withstand the aftermath of the battle.”
“...”
As Wang Chen entered the hall, he heard the guests in the hall discussing his previous battle with the Blood Clan Prince, each speaking vividly as if they had witnessed it firsthand.
However, they probably never imagined that the protagonist of this battle was now standing nearby, listening to their discussion.
“Han Tianxing's actions are quite fast; it seems he, as City Lord, has some capabilities.”
Listening to the discussions around him, Wang Chen's impression of Han Tianxing couldn't help but improve slightly.
Previously, when the other party came to his door to return the High Grade Holy Quartz, he felt very smooth and worldly.
He hadn't expected that his governance ability was quite outstanding.
In such a short time, he had suppressed the impact of that battle.
“Guest, are you here for a meal or to stay?”
Just as Wang Chen was pondering, a waiter quickly came up to him and asked with a smiling face.
“Find me a quiet place to stay, and prepare some food as well.”
Wang Chen stated his requirements, and then followed the waiter to a room on the upper floor of the inn.
After a simple meal, Wang Chen continued to secure the Dark Tyrant Ape Cub with a binding array, then he closed his eyes to rest, preparing for his actions at night.
Wang Chen was very interested in the undead that only appeared at night in the Netherworld.
