158: Humans cannot, or at least should not (Bonus Chapter 1)

"Continue!"

Old Zhang gave the command.

However, this time, the children did not fight or snatch.

Their boss was gone, so they might as well slack off!

"Hmph... I bet you're scared now." Old Zhang sneered, "If you're lucky, you can live comfortably for a while longer. If you're unlucky, you won't see tomorrow's sun..."

"Our luck has always been good!"

The speaker was another squad leader, Underworld Twelve.

Underworld Eleven had stolen the first spot, making him extremely uncomfortable; he wished he could just strangle him.

However, Lin Chuan's orders were paramount.

Then let's see how many descendants of Yao Kings come to their doom!

"Then it's your turn. I want to see if you are all talk!"

Next, the same operation was repeated.

A few minutes later, Underworld Twelve calmed down.

"I told you, my luck has always been good!"

Underworld Twelve said with a smile.

"What talent? B-grade fire element."

"Is that true? Deceiving this old man is useless; it will only get you eaten directly!"

Old Zhang threatened.

"You'll know if you try. I can't wait to become a Beast Tamer, even if it's just for one day!" Underworld Twelve performed diligently.

"Heh, a Beast Tamer, then I'll grant your wish! Go, bring the descendant of the Flame Rat King."

"Yes!"

Soon, a Crimson Flame Rat the size of a yak was brought over.

The Eagle-headed Person earlier was an exception; most Yao Beasts at the Monarch Rank stage could only maintain their Yao Beast form, requiring these people to assist in completing the contract.

As before, the contract was unusually smooth, succeeding without any hitches.

"This is insane. Normally, it succeeds once out of ten tries, but today it succeeded twice in a row!"

Old Zhang looked at Underworld Twelve's departing back, muttering to himself.

Next, the third one succeeded.

The fourth one succeeded.

The fifth one also succeeded.

"You wait a moment..."

Old Zhang finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked the 'child' who had just successfully contracted to release the Yao Beast.

These were all King Rank descendants, and they were the most high-quality batch, also possessing King Rank potential, so Old Zhang had to treat them cautiously.

However, he couldn't think of what problem there could be.

"So troublesome!" The child pouted.

Then, a Monarch Rank Ice Wolf was released.

"Roar!"

The Ice Wolf howled at the sky, and after scanning its surroundings, it walked directly out of the hall.

"Are there any other problems?"

"Let's go."

Old Zhang could only let him pass.

From the wolf's howl just now, Old Zhang felt anger and dared not offend it further.

"It seems I was overthinking. Can I, a jinx, also have such lucky moments?"

Old Zhang shook his head and gestured for his subordinates to continue.

By the time the tenth one also succeeded, Old Zhang was already numb.

"Hehe..."

"Elder, could it be that we've accumulated too much misfortune before, and now our luck is exploding?" A subordinate below said with a dry laugh.

"Accumulate your ass, do you think this is a game, damn it!!!"

Old Zhang exploded.

Something was definitely wrong, but he couldn't figure it out.

Who would have thought that a group of Monarch Rank old foxes would sneak in disguised as ordinary people, and act so convincingly?

Only King Ranks could see through their disguise.

However, Old Zhang definitely dared not alarm a King Rank now.

So many King Rank descendants, if something went wrong... Old Zhang shuddered.

He couldn't even let the news of a potential problem spread.

He was a Beast Tamer born and raised in the Secret Realm. Although he was dedicated to his duty, it didn't mean he didn't care about his own life!

"You, come here and drink this!"

Old Zhang pointed at the subordinate who had just mentioned 'accumulating misfortune.'

"Elder, no, please, people will die!"

The subordinate's face was full of refusal, planning to slip away.

"If you don't drink it, you won't die?"

Without even summoning his Beast, Old Zhang directly grabbed the subordinate back and poured a bowl of potion down his throat.

Then, he threw him aside.

The subordinate, like a balloon, kept expanding and expanding.

Finally, with a "bang," flesh and blood splattered everywhere.

Old Zhang pushed away the other subordinates blocking him and said with a smile:

"Haha... See? The potion is fine, no problem at all."

"Continue!"

...Meanwhile, Lin Chuan followed Underworld Eleven to the Eagle-headed Person's dwelling.

It was called a dwelling, but it was just a cave, with a lingering smell of blood.

"Release him."

Then, the Eagle-headed Person fell directly to the ground, like a dead dog.

No speaking, no moving, no communicating... This was the terror of the contract.

"What's the situation now?"

"My Lord, he is now completely under my control and cannot resist. However, due to the influence of the contract, his life force is constantly being extracted by me, and he will be drained within a month."

This contract was so overbearing!

However, this was mainly because Underworld Eleven was transformed from a Nether Spirit, with a natural craving for life force.

This idiot was truly something else; not only did he contract with a Monarch Rank, but he was also a Nether Spirit. It was like lighting a lantern in a latrine – a death wish! "Ask him, how was he born?"

"Huh?"

Underworld Eleven let out a questioning sound.

Shouldn't he first ask how to enter the treasury, and what guards there are?... "Just curious, can't I be? Ask quickly!"

"Oh." Underworld Eleven quickly agreed.

He quickly reflected; he really had gotten carried away, daring to question his boss's orders. This was a major taboo in the workplace!!!

"My Lord, he said his father is the Vice Hall Master, respectfully called the Eagle King, and his mother is a Monarch Rank Yao Beast, the Sky Feather Eagle."

Indeed, he was a hybrid.

But... "Did I get it wrong? His father is human, right? His mother is Monarch Rank, so she shouldn't be able to shapeshift..."

Lin Chuan was shocked, extremely shocked... He originally thought it would be two King Ranks, or at least both in human form!

Humans can't, or at least shouldn't... "His father 'fused' with a King Rank Yao Beast, making him a half-Yao. He can transform into a Yao Beast. The Vice Hall Masters of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace are basically all like this."

Hmm... As for the matter of a King Rank Vice Hall Master fusing with a Yao Beast, it no longer shocked Lin Chuan.

Now, Lin Chuan's shock threshold had soared!

"Ask him about the treasury's situation."

"The treasury is now guarded by the recently returned Snake King, who replaced the Eagle King's original duties. His father, the Eagle King, is very displeased. In addition, a King Rank Hall-Protecting Yao Beast and a Vice Hall Master have also just returned."

"Holy crap, that's at least four King Ranks."

Wu Chang's information wasn't entirely reliable after all; the difficulty had directly quadrupled.

"In that case, I'll have to re-plan."

Lin Chuan pondered, then had Gray Snake sense Wu Chang's location and had White Moon teleport him over.

Wu Chang's residence was a villa at the foot of the mountain.

The environment was quiet, and he lived alone.

"Master."

"Hmm, summon all your Beasts."

"Yes."

[Luck Spell]

[Misfortune Mark]

"Do not resist!"

Then, Lin Chuan used Sword Armor to conjure a blade and pierced Wu Chang's heart with a single strike.

Lin Chuan felt no emotionalfluctuation about killing Wu Chang; such a person deserved to die, having likely bought thousands, if not tens of thousands, of children.

Although many people had died because of Lin Chuan, this was his first time personally taking a life.

Originally, Lin Chuan planned to let him exert some residual heat, killing some Yao Beasts or creating some chaos.

However, in front of the four King Ranks, a Diamond Rank couldn't stir up much trouble, so the plan needed to be adjusted.

The soul seed on Wu Chang had to be recovered, so he could only be killed first.
