"You guys should get a good beast first!" Inan's words brought everyone to the beast shop.
Ye Kong didn't have a beast, and the Li Brothers' Sickle Beasts were trash. If they didn't get a good beast, they wouldn't even be able to pass the Black Stone Labyrinth's' Heart of Oak Tree ', let alone the chain quest. Originally, Yue Yang only hired them to look for Yue Bing. Now that the mission was completed, if it was someone else, they would probably pay the reward and go their separate ways. However, Yue Yang felt that Ye Kong and the others might not be of much help in battle, but in terms of survival experience in the first floor of Tong Tian Tower, they far surpassed Yue Bing and Inan. With their participation, completing the chain quest would be much smoother.
Hence, Yue Yang decided to keep Ye Kong and the others.
Even if they took a step back, Ye Kong was still a genius who had passed his prime. If he didn't lose his beast, how would he have fallen to such an unlucky state?
The Li Brothers' beasts were low-levelled, and the strength they provided after strengthening and fusing was limited. However, the Li Brothers' combat skills were not bad, and their vitality was strong enough. They could compete with Hui Tai Lang, the cockroach. Of course, they couldn't be independent, but they were quite qualified to be labourers.
As for Fatty Hai who had a summoning grimoire, his evaluation in Yue Yang's heart was the worst. This guy didn't have any experience, and was purely a burden.
Fatty Hai's only advantage was that he was a scapegoat.
If Yue Yang needed someone to block attacks from the open and hidden, Fatty Hai would undoubtedly be the best fat shield.
After receiving the 100 gold coins reward from the Warrior's Guild, Yue Yang, Yue Bing, Inan, Ye Kong, Fatty Hai and the others went to the 'Hundred Roaring Beasts' Beast Shop.
Upon entering, the Bronze-ranked Level 5 Hui Tai Lang scared all the adult beasts in the shop to the ground.
It was only now that Yue Yang realised that a Bronze-ranked Level 5 Beast was already the limit of a normal warrior's pursuit.
"We'll give you 500 as a deposit first. If you accept, you and your friends will forever be our shop's VIP customers. You'll always enjoy a 20% discount when you shop. Furthermore, we'll give you a Bronze-ranked 4-Star Beast Egg for free to make up for your loss. Your friends can choose a beast for free. As long as our people successfully sign a contract with this Two-headed Demon Wolf, we will immediately pay you another 500 gold. " That fair and plump steward tried his best to persuade Yue Yang to sell Hui Tai Lang to him. His eyes were sharp and shrewd, he could tell that Hui Tai Lang was at least a five-star and above top-ranked beast. He kept pestering Yue Yang, insisting on buying it no matter what.
"Head Manager, you are too naive. You think you can take down a psychic Two-headed Demon Wolf with just a thousand gold?" Inan sneered.
"The price is negotiable. We can sit down and discuss it slowly!" The chief manager smiled.
"I'm not selling, I'm not selling it no matter how much it costs!" Yue Bing rejected flatly.
"You have to understand that we came here to buy beasts, not to sell them. If you don't want to do business, then let's change to another beast shop. " Although Yue Yang didn't want to sign a contract with Hui Tai Lang, he felt that his life would be more interesting with this greedy and obedient dog by his side.
Without a punching bag like this to vent his anger, what would he do in the future?
Furthermore, this was a beast that he had raised himself. How could he sell it to others? Yue Yang didn't say it, but he would never sell Hui Tai Lang in his heart.
The chief manager had no choice but to remind him repeatedly that if Yue Yang wanted to sell Hui Tai Lang, he could look for him at any time. At that time, he would be hugging a beauty in the middle of the night, preparing to study bedroom techniques, so he wasn't afraid of disturbing him.
In the Hundred Roaring Beasts Shop, all beasts were Level 3 and below. Even Level 4 beasts were rare, not to mention Bronze-ranked beasts.
Inan and Yue Bing looked for a long time, but they didn't like any of them.
Ye Kong and the others also felt that there weren't any good beasts here, but in reality, they didn't dare to ask for too much.
"It's not bad to have a Level 3 Big Baboon. Furthermore, it's a strengthening-type beast, just like my Golden Ape King." Ye Kong's heart turned sour. If his Golden Ape King was still here, why would it look at this Level 3 Big Baboon … This Big Baboon had already matured completely, and probably wouldn't be able to level up for the rest of its life. Although Level 3 wasn't considered low, being unable to level up for the rest of its life made people feel despair. Could it be that he was destined to be a mediocre and useless guide for the rest of his life? His dreams when he was young, his parents' expectations …
"We'll take those two Wind Wolves. We have the Wind Sickle Ferret to strengthen us, and with the help of two Wind Wolves, our strength will increase by quite a bit." Li Qie and Li Ge, on the other hand, were much more realistic. They felt that having these two Wind Wolves was already a great blessing.
If they didn't get to know Yue Yang, they wouldn't have anything at all.
Right now, they were at least Honorary Warriors who had gone on an expedition to the Demon Abyss. Although they hadn't killed a single demon, at least they had gone to the Demon Abyss …
How many mercenaries in this world would have the chance to counterattack the Demon Abyss? The Li Brothers felt that they wouldn't be able to accomplish anything great in this lifetime. It would be better for them to be honest and hardworking mercenaries. That was the most down-to-earth life. For a man like Yue Yang, who could even kill a Demon General by himself, would he need mercenaries other than hard labor?
Hearing Ye Kong and the Li Brothers' words, Yue Yang frowned slightly.
He turned towards the manager and asked, "Do you have any good quality beast eggs here?"
The manager had been staring at Hui Tai Lang without blinking. When he heard Yue Yang's words, he had an idea, "You can take a look at our beast eggs, look at them as you please. Everyone can pick one, all free of charge. As long as you're willing to sell Hui Tai Lang to us, you can do whatever you want."
"Please remove the last part of your sentence. We only need beast eggs, do you understand? Thank you. "Inan was almost speechless at the manager's behavior.
"Alright." The manager was very regretful. His appearance was as sad as if his wife had run away with someone else after emptying their family property.
Although beast eggs were better than adult beasts, the price was still ten times more expensive.
Ye Kong was quite satisfied. He had his eyes on a beast egg that had a lot of potential. After it hatched, its growth wouldn't be much worse than the Golden Ape King. It would probably be a Level 4 Iron Arm Demon Ape. As for the two Bronze-ranked beast eggs that could hatch a Howling Wind Tiger and a Shadow Wolf, their price had already exceeded a hundred gold coins. This was not something he could even imagine.
The reward for the expedition to the Demon Abyss was only a hundred gold coins. Furthermore, he and the Li Brothers hadn't done anything, they had only followed along to take a look …
Being able to obtain an Iron Arm Demon Ape was already their biggest wish.
Yue Yang still shook his head, "They're all trash. Do you have any other beast eggs?"
The manager almost choked. He thought to himself, "It's easy for you to say that. You have a Bronze-ranked Level 5 Two-headed Demon Wolf, of course you would think that it's trash. But if it were other warriors, they wouldn't be able to get a Bronze-ranked Shadow Wolf and Howling Wind Tiger even if they drooled."
However, since it was a distinguished guest, the manager still used his best service attitude. With a smiling face, he took out the shop's treasure for Yue Yang to see.
The shop's treasure, priced at five hundred gold coins.
It was a Lightning Demon Leopard, a Bronze-ranked beast egg. After twenty tests, the result was the same: four stars.
The authoritative beast appraisal master believed that this Lightning Demon Leopard's final evolution level would probably be Bronze-ranked Level 4. If it was fed with a lot of electric-type magic crystals for a long period of time, it could even rise to Bronze-ranked Level 5. The only flaw was that it would take a long time to mature. It would probably take at least three years. Furthermore, it was too stable. The probability of it evolving into a Silver-ranked beast was extremely low … Although this beast egg was nothing much to the entire Hundred Roaring Beasts Shop, in this shop on the first floor, it was the shop's treasure.
"No, it's trash." Yue Yang used his [Divine Vision] to see through this beast egg. Not to mention Hui Tai Lang, even compared to the beast egg he obtained from the Aries Temple's Energy Cauldron, the difference was like heaven and earth.
His beast's egg was evaluated to be 5 stars.
This Lightning Demon Leopard, which was known as a four star beast, was actually only three and a half stars. It had not reached the standard of a four star beast. It was only because it did not have three and a half stars that it was evaluated to be four stars. It could be said that in the evaluation of all the four star beasts, this four star Lightning Demon Leopard would be the weakest of all the four star beasts.
The manager was about to vomit blood, "Young master, how can you say that it's trash? It's a four star beast … You said five stars? Who would bring a five star beast egg to a beast shop to sell? If there really was, the country would have priority to buy it. All the big clans would also spend a lot of money to buy it. If you want a five star beast egg, you have to at least reach the third floor of Tong Tian Tower. How many stars does this beast egg in your hand have? Let me use a crystal tester to test it … Heavens, five stars? I'm going to faint. "
Yue Yang's original intention was to find a good beast for Yue Bing, but after looking at it, he realized that they were all trash beasts. He steeled his heart and directly took out the five star beast egg from his bosom and gave it to Yue Bing.
The manager of the Roaring Hundred Beasts enthusiastically tested it, but in the end, he fainted from fright.
Why did this brat only bring a Bronze-ranked Level 5 Two-headed Demon Wolf with him? How could he casually take out a five star beast egg?
Even a prince wouldn't be this arrogant, right?
Who exactly was he?
"Third brother, you keep it. I'm not good at beasts other than plant-type beasts. I don't want it, you keep it." Yue Bing hurriedly stuffed the beast egg back into Yue Yang's bosom.
"I'm going to faint too." Fatty Hai drooled again.
"Why don't we bet on our luck. Ye Kong, you guys choose a beast egg and a chaos egg. Let's see what the reaction will be after the fusion. If it's not good, then accept your fate. "What Inan said was a terrifying gamble. Mercenaries normally wouldn't dare to use it. Usually, some of the elite soldiers in the army would use this kind of extreme method to gamble on their own lives when they were eager to stand out from the crowd!
A chaos egg was a kind of primitive egg without an embryo.
No one knew what its attributes were, and no one knew what the reaction would be after the fusion with the beast.
There was a 50% chance that the two would repel each other, and the fusion between the chaos egg and the beast would fail, and the beast would die on the spot. There was a 30% chance that the beast's abilities would be affected by the chaos egg, and its strength would be weakened. There was a 15% chance that the beast would not change, and the chaos egg would not affect the beast at all.
There was a small 5% chance that the chaos egg and the beast would successfully fuse, and the beast's strength would increase or mutate to a different degree.
It was said that there was a one in ten thousand chance that the chaos egg and the beast would fuse perfectly. After the fusion, the beast would immediately mutate and level up, and could even mutate from a normal rank to a bronze rank.
For thousands of years, countless people had tried to fuse countless times. Other than a few lucky ones, almost everyone's fusion had ended in tragedy.
A one in ten thousand chance was enough to make people despair.
For example, in the Hundred Roaring Beasts Shop, no one had successfully mutated for more than 50 years. It was recorded on the wall that a lucky one had done it 50 years ago.
"I'll bet." Ye Kong's hands trembled, but he gratefully nodded towards Inan.
This was his last chance to turn things around. Without enough money, he would bet on his luck. Since he was already a cripple, as long as there was a sliver of hope, he would bet until the end. If the Iron-armed Demon Ape that he chose could level up to bronze rank, then everything would come back. The dreams of his youth, the expectations of his parents, all of these could be realized … As long as the heavens didn't abandon him, and gave him enough luck.
Yue Yang was curious. So there was actually such a way to gamble?
If that was really the case, then would his [Divine Vision] Inherent Skill be of use?
Seeing the manager's respectful but secretly mocking expression, Yue Yang's heart was filled with anger. Are you arrogant? I'll just have to find a suitable one to anger you to death …
Ye Kong was so nervous that his whole body was trembling. He held the Iron-armed Demon Ape's beast egg and looked at the row of chaos eggs, not knowing which one to choose.
There was only one chance.
This was a gamble. Even if the beast died, it had to take up two summoning slots.
If he chose wrongly, then his life would be completely over …
"Is it that hard to choose? I think this one is not bad. " Yue Yang casually picked up a chaos egg and passed it to Ye Kong. His attitude was indifferent, as if he was picking up a bean from the ground. Everyone was shocked by his action. This, this was not a joke. He had to be extremely cautious. This was because once the chaos egg fused with the beast, there would be no possibility of reneging. The beast's life or death, crippled or good, all depended on this gamble.
No one knew that Yue Yang had a Level 2 [Divine Vision] Inherent Skill. Actually, when everyone was choosing, he had already found the chaos egg that was the most compatible with the Iron-armed Demon Ape.
On the surface, his actions were indifferent, but in reality, he was purposely trying to deceive the cunning manager.
If this fellow knew that this chaos egg was the most compatible, it would be strange if he didn't take the opportunity to threaten Hui Tai Lang or raise the price by a hundred times.
"Third Young Master, I … I believe you," Ye Kong saw the brilliant smile on Yue Yang's face and was enlightened. Gritting his teeth, he decided to believe in Yue Yang. He bit his finger hard and used his trembling fingers to draw the same contract pattern on the two beast eggs. In the end, he suppressed the fear in his heart and closed his eyes, contracting with the two beast eggs at the same time.
The result would be decided in a second.
The two beast eggs would fuse into one. Whether it would die or become crippled, whether it would be strengthened or mutated, would immediately appear in front of his eyes.
A burst of golden light appeared between Ye Kong's fingers. The manager's mouth opened wide, so wide that a Battle Kodo Beast could be stuffed inside. He had not seen a miracle for more than fifty years. Today, it was actually miraculously born in front of his eyes.
All of this came from the young man in front of him casually grabbing it.
"The mutation was successful. It's, it's a Bronze-ranked Gold Steel Demon Ape. Third Young Master, my, Ye Kong's life was saved by you. " Ye Kong immediately knelt down in front of Ye Kong's feet and hugged his legs. He was so emotional that he couldn't hold back his tears. The gamble was successful. From this moment onwards, the crippled Ye Kong would obtain a new life.
The dreams of the past, the expectations of his parents, everything, could all be returned.
Now, he finally had the face to go back and kowtow to his parents … Finally, he wouldn't have to look at their despairing eyes. Now, he had obtained a new life, a new life that was equivalent to a second one.
The corner of Yue Yang's lips curled into a smile.
This, was only the beginning. He wanted to use his [Divine Vision] to see through more. Although a suitable chaos egg was very difficult to find, Ye Kong's chaos egg was just a coincidence.
However, with his [Divine Vision], as long as he spent time searching, would he still be afraid that he wouldn't be able to find a suitable one?
His sister Yue Bing and Inan both needed strong beasts. Why didn't he use this kind of 'gamble' method and choose a good beast egg to give to them?
Yue Yang, who had already made up his mind, had just helped Ye Kong up and was about to comfort him when he suddenly discovered that the chaos egg in Fatty Hai's hands had an indescribable strange reaction … This, this chaos egg was strange. It was very different from other chaos eggs.
It, what kind of beast egg was it?
What use would it have?
