120: Chapter 120 You Don't Know Their Ability to Cause Trouble
After Yue Yun returned, the Three Heavenly Kings naturally began setting up the tents where they would reside for the next two weeks.
With the help of Yue Yun's terrifying physical strength and their tacit cooperation, the Three Heavenly Kings finished setting up their residence and immediately began plotting inside the tent.
Xu Qingfang hurriedly asked, "What's the situation nearby?"
Mo Yu also nodded repeatedly, his eyes fixed on Yue Yun, who had just returned from outside, ears pricked for fear of missing any details.
"The outer perimeter isn't very dangerous, and the Pet Beasts' strength is decent, but I didn't see any valuable herbs."
Yue Yun lowered his voice as he recounted what he had seen.
He pulled the crystallized claw of a Blazing Tiger from his pocket and showed it to Xu Qingfang and Mo Yu. "So far, this is my only harvest—Materials that can increase the strength of the Rock Spike skill."
Both Xu Qingfang's and Mo Yu's eyes widened.
The presence of this material proved that the Pet Beasts in the outer perimeter were still worth hunting.
"With the strength of the three of us, can't we just roam the Outer Area as we please?" Xu Qingfang couldn't hide his excitement.
Yue Yun hadn't discussed leaving the group beforehand, but given the Three Heavenly Kings' rapport, no words were needed to understand each other's thoughts; they immediately took the opportunity to investigate the situation of the Outer Area.
Mo Yu stroked his chin with a mischievous grin.
Although he wasn't as strong as Xu Qingfang or Yue Yun, he was quite knowledgeable about Pet Beast Materials and herbs. He was fully capable of scraping some profit even from the scraps of the Outer Area.
Yue Yun then dropped a bombshell: "Our No. 2 High School's Principal Bu has a Space-type Pet Beast that can instantly cross space to reach us and provide protection!"
Xu Qingfang and Mo Yu looked at each other in surprise.
Bu Zhengjing was already terrifying as a Five-Star Beast Tamer, but they hadn't expected him to be hiding a Space-type Pet Beast capable of traversing space.
"That really is a huge surprise!"
Indeed, a surprise.
How could the Three Heavenly Kings behave themselves once they gathered?
They had originally intended to pick on some Pet Beasts they could handle in the Outer Area, but realizing Bu Zhengjing had a life-saving trump card made them start thinking of devious plans.
Xu Qingfang spoke bluntly: "I want to go to the Danger Zone!"
Mo Yu and Yue Yun didn't answer immediately.
Sweeping through the Outer Area wouldn't be a problem with their strength, but their current level of cultivation wasn't enough to walk freely in the Danger Zone.
If they encountered a Pet Beast that could kill them instantly, even if Bu Zhengjing could cross space, it wouldn't be enough to protect them.
Xu Qingfang looked left and right, then whispered like a thief, "Pan Zi has four Pet Beasts. His fourth Pet Beast followed you when you left the group earlier; you didn't notice, did you?"
Xu Qingfang gestured toward Yue Yun.
Yue Yun shook his head quickly, indicating he hadn't noticed at all.
Xu Qingfang continued, "Pan Zi's fourth Pet Beast is skilled in tracking and protection. As long as we lure that Pet Beast over, we can sneak into the Danger Zone."
Yue Yun and Mo Yu looked at each other.
They shared a wretched, mischievous smile, clearly having already formed an idea on how to implement the plan.
Outside the tent.
Pan Xuan and Bu Zhengjing had varied expressions.
As Elite Beast Tamers, their vision and hearing far exceeded those of ordinary people. Even if Xu Qingfang lowered his voice, they could hear the trio's plotting clearly.
"Aren't you going to do something about these three?"
Bu Zhengjing looked at Pan Xuan, the teacher of the Three Heavenly Kings, his complex expression suggesting he had much to say.
Pan Xuan covered his face in embarrassment.
He shook his head and walked away from the tent without any intention of interrupting their scheme. "There's nothing to manage. These three brats will never be mediocre. We might as well let them out now to run into some walls; it's good for them to face some setbacks!"
After a pause, Pan Xuan looked at Bu Zhengjing.
"Fatty, help me keep an eye on Beast Taming Class 1 when the time comes."
Hearing Pan Xuan's instructions, Bu Zhengjing felt something was off and couldn't help but look back at the tent several times.
No matter how he looked at it, they were just three kids.
If something really went wrong, he could just drag them back. Why was there a need for a special request to look after the class?
Bu Zhengjing asked, "Are you going to follow them into the Danger Zone?"
Pan Xuan didn't look back, only leaving behind one sentence.
"You have no idea how much trouble they can cause!"
...
Before dark, the Three Heavenly Kings left the camp.
The three moved nimbly through the forest without any communication, only the sound of Miao Sang chewing could be heard.
Crack, crack, crack!
Rocks crunched under Miao Sang's sharp teeth, not appearing hard at all, but rather like crispy biscuits.
As the rocks were eaten by Miao Sang, the health in the illusory HP bar above Yue Yun's head recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This Rock-Eating talent is really useful!"
Mo Yu couldn't help but marvel as he watched.
If an enemy saw Yue Yun's low health and tried to take advantage of it, only for Miao Sang to recover his status by eating rocks in the back, it would surely give the enemy a fright.
Xu Qingfang asked, "Why didn't you heal earlier?"
Yue Yun picked through the ground and finally chose a relatively clean rock to feed Miao Sang. He raised an eyebrow at the question.
"Miao Sang's Rock-Eating talent is my trump card. How could I easily expose it to others? Naturally, I have to wait for sufficiently safe conditions before using this method to recover."
While the Longzhou Beast Taming Group was indeed decent, they were ultimately strangers met by chance, with only some social pleasantries between them.
It would be too foolish to expose his trump card like that!
Moreover, when conditions allowed, Yue Yun would usually rely on the beef noodles at the school gate to recover, rather than letting Miao Sang eat dirty rocks seasoned with years of car exhaust.
"Have you tried bricks?"
Xu Qingfang suddenly said, "I think you could try bricks. You could carry them in your hand as weapons and feed them to the cat to recover when needed."
A flash of awkwardness crossed Yue Yun's face.
The Old Master's teaching grounds were next to an abandoned brick factory in the west of Jianghai City, where bricks were left everywhere. Of course he had tried feeding those bricks to Miao Sang.
The conclusion was that he could recover normally.
But for some reason, Miao Sang seemed to suffer from indigestion when eating bricks, making it easy for him to get an upset stomach.
"The effect of eating bricks isn't great," Yue Yun coughed lightly. "Besides, bricks are a bit brittle. I crush them if I use too much force. They're not as good as my fists as weapons, unless they're for throwing."
Xu Qingfang and Mo Yu nodded in understanding.
It wasn't that the bricks were too brittle, but that Yue Yun's strength was too great.
"By the way, wasn't this spear of yours destroyed last time?"
"It's a newly forged spear."
Yue Yun felt that ordinary weapons were simply too weak. Only this weighty cold iron long spear felt right in his hand, allowing him to maximize his strength.
Mo Yu put a hand on Yue Yun's shoulder. "You can still rely on these forged weapons now, but what will you do when you get even stronger and your strength continues to increase?"
Yue Yun shook his head upon hearing this.
What Mo Yu said was indeed a problem, but such things were still too far off; he hadn't seriously thought about it yet.
As the saying goes, the one who tied the knot should be the one to untie it. He immediately asked Mo Yu back: "What ideas do you have?"
"Find a Mechanical-type, Steel-attribute Pet Beast!"
