112: Chapter 112 A New Big Goal—The Five Elders!!!

"What?" Lu Chen was slightly startled.

Was it a mission assigned to his parents by the head of the Nine-Star Guild's Five Elders Association back then?

Linking this to the Three-Eyed Mother Goddess in the hidden map within the Silent Forest, how could Lu Chen not realize that the mission assigned by the head of the Five Elders Association must have had some secrets?

Naturally, his dad could also figure out the trickery involved.

"Dad, do you want to investigate the head of the Five Elders Association? To confirm the truth about the mission from back then?" Lu Chen immediately guessed his dad's thoughts.

"Yes. It's not just for the twenty-plus years of suffering your mother and I have endured, or the tragic deaths of our other 58 teammates. More importantly, I worry that the head of the Five Elders Association is farming gods, which is how they were able to rise in just twenty years to become a top-tier force in Great Xia!"

"What? Farming gods?" Yu Linglong, who was standing nearby, was stunned by what she heard.

To prevent public panic, the upper echelons of Great Xia treated "gods" as an undisclosed taboo, and many commoners didn't even know of their existence.

But now, to think that someone in the upper echelons was actually farming gods—what a shocking matter this was!

"More accurately, it's supporting gods, reaching some kind of cooperation with them so that both sides can obtain benefits!"

"But this is just my guess; it needs to be confirmed through in-depth investigation."

As he spoke, Lu Sen seemed to have made a decision: "Xiao Chen, Dad shouldn't have told you about this, but you've grown up, and you have strength even greater than your mom and me. You are the pillar of the family, so you can decide for yourself."

"Your mom and I must go investigate this matter. Whether it's to seek justice or for the greater good, we must make a trip to Wuyao City."

After hearing his dad's words, the corners of Lu Chen's mouth curled up slightly, and his gaze instantly turned sharp: "Dad, Mom, what nonsense about the greater good, or the Five Elders Association supporting gods—I, Lu Chen, don't care about that at all!"

"I only recognize one principle: if they really were the ones who harmed you back then, then they must pay with blood!"

"Anyone who dares to harm my family must pay with their life, even if they are the King of Heaven! That is my rule, Lu Chen's rule!"

Hearing this, Lu Sen laughed heartily: "Good! That's my son. However, we can't go to Wuyao City just yet. Let's wait until our Rank improves a bit more before considering this matter!"

"Your dad is right. We'll first go to the nearest major city to find a temporary residence. Then, Linglong can go do her Rank 6 advancement mission, and Xiao Chen, you can go register as a hunter. I'll see if I can acquire some advancement Materials," Chen Rou said thoughtfully.

"Let's do that. Mom, when the time comes, you should also buy some Rank 5 equipment Materials for you and Dad. I'll craft a set of Epic-grade equipment for you," Lu Chen agreed with his mom's proposal.

"That's not necessary. With our Legendary titles, Legendary exclusive weapons, and Divine Favor Talent, your dad's and my strength is already rare among Rank 5s, so there's no need to waste gold coins buying equipment Materials."

"These gold coins should be saved for you to use; that way, the gold coins can be utilized to their maximum value. It's settled," Chen Rou said with a light smile.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen felt a pang in his heart. How could he not know that his parents were both thinking of him?

In truth, what class changer wouldn't want their equipment to be complete? It's just that in his parents' hearts, they only wanted their child to be strong, wishing they could leave all resources for him while they just made do.

To have such parents in this life—how fortunate he was. Lu Chen vowed in his heart that from now on, he would never let them suffer the slightest grievance!

Immediately, the four of them secretly headed to the nearest second-tier major city—Linjiang City!

Lu Sen took out his six-star hunter badge, allowing them to skip the guards' inspection.

"Outsiders, you are not allowed to loiter on the streets of this city after dark. Violators will be expelled!" After the guard finished speaking, he let Lu Chen and the other three into the city.

"As a six-star hunter, one can obtain a temporary residence. This is a benefit of the Hunter Organization. Let's go directly to the Hunter Hall to apply."

"This way, we can avoid exposing our identities and can move in immediately!" Lu Sen led everyone directly to the Hunter Hall in Linjiang City.

Hunter Hall. It was crowded with people, and the huge hall was packed.

Although most of the missions here were extremely dangerous, there were still a large number of commoner class changers who came to become hunters and accept missions.

This was simply because it was their only opportunity to change their destiny.

Among them, there was no shortage of children from wealthy and powerful families coming to be hunters, as well as some big shots, because the rewards for many hunter missions were very tempting.

Relying on his six-star hunter badge, Lu Sen very easily applied for a temporary residence. It was quite nice—three bedrooms and a living room, about a hundred square meters, and fully furnished.

After the four of them moved in, they began their respective plans.

Yu Linglong immediately submitted her Rank 6 advancement Materials and headed to the mission location to perform her Rank 6 advancement mission.

With a flash of teleportation light, Yu Linglong disappeared from where she stood.

The Shadow Soul Mouse that Lu Chen had previously arranged to protect Yu Linglong also automatically returned to Lu Chen's beast pen space.

This was limited by the rules for beast pets; once the target being protected entered a secret realm or a mission location, the beast pet would be forcibly returned to the owner's beast pen space.

Chen Rou stayed at home for the time being, keeping an eye on the dynamics of advancement Materials on the consignment market, ready to purchase the required advancement Materials at any time.

She would wait until her son was promoted to a 5-star hunter before going to do 5-star missions together, as she was a 5-star hunter.

Lu Sen went first to find a Rank 6 secret realm mission where he could farm the main Material for the Sword Warrior Rank 6 advancement mission. This type of main Material only had a chance to drop for its respective class; it would not drop for other classes.

As for Lu Chen, he opened the System mall and first purchased a Rank 5 Legendary-grade disguise item, changing his appearance to look as handsome as he was.

Just now at the Hunter Hall, Lu Chen noticed that hunters rarely disguised themselves. He guessed that hunters had the protection of their organization, so there was no need to worry about being robbed or similar incidents.

On the other hand, hunters generally completed missions in teams, which required mutual trust, so very few hunters wore masks.

Afterward, Lu Chen began to plan for contracting new beast pet legions.

After all, his three major beast pet legions were already known to the world and could not be easily summoned; it would be best to contract some new beast pets.

He transferred 2 million gold coins to his parents as funds for acquiring advancement Materials.

He opened his backpack. Gold coin count: [62913000]!

With so many gold coins, it was enough for Lu Chen to contract enough beast pet legions!

Lu Chen planned to form the initial shape of the six great Beast Disaster legions, including: Ground Assault Legion, Marine Combat Legion, Aerial Suppression Legion, Ranged Firepower Legion, Special Tactics Legion, and Beast Tide Tactics Legion!

"The Soul-Devouring Rat and the Ice-Explosion Horned Ant can serve as the Beast Tide Tactics Legion. I can add another 1 million F-Rank suicide beast pets!"

Because of the Beast Life Heavenly Lock rule item, these suicide beast pets would not truly die after self-destructing.

Lu Chen searched and found quite a few beast pets capable of self-destruction. Lu Chen took a liking to the F-Rank Explosive Stealth Spider.

[Name: Explosive Stealth Spider] [Talent: Stealth Explosion (F): Approaching the target while invisible and then self-destructing. 100% death after self-destruction!]

For one, it was small and fast, and for another, it had a stealth effect, making it very suitable for launching large-scale surprise beast tides.

"The Flame Falcon will be the Aerial Suppression Legion. I can add another million F-Rank Iron-Claw Eagles (Armor-Piercing) and a million F-Rank Thunderbirds (Paralysis) to fill the gaps in aerial enemy-breaking and enemy-suppression capabilities!"

With that thought, Lu Chen first purchased enough contracting items, then purchased the beast pet contracts one by one:

[Ding, you have spent 1,000,000 gold coins to purchase 1,000,000 F-Rank Explosive Stealth Spiders!]

[Ding, you have spent 1,000,000 gold coins to purchase 1,000,000 F-Rank Iron-Claw Eagle beast pet eggs!]

[Ding, you have spent 1,000,000 gold coins to purchase 1,000,000 F-Rank Thunderbird beast pet eggs!]

[Ding, you have spent 6,000,000 gold coins to purchase Legendary Beast Taming Whips X3,000,000 and Legendary Beast Pet Contract Scrolls X3,000,000!]

After purchasing another 1,000 Mass Contract Scrolls, the 3 million new beast pets were successfully contracted!

Thus, Lu Chen had initially completed the prototype of his Beast Tide Legion and Aerial Legion.

Calculating the gold coins, he had only spent 9 million.
