Hopping down from the back of the Armored Rhino, Liu Gu stretched, a relaxed smile on his face, “Boss, what kind of resources do you want to gather?”

“This kind.” Xu Ran plucked a ripe Green Jade Fruit and showed it to everyone, “This is a necessary resource for all Pet Beast food production, eating it directly can recover some power, but it doesn’t taste good.”

“How bad does it taste?” Liu Gu casually plucked one and bit into it, immediately his face turned black, he quickly turned to the side and spat it out with a “ptoo, ptoo, ptoo”. free novelkiss.com

“Hahaha, the Boss said it doesn’t taste good but you really wanted to try it huh.” Liu Xue covered her mouth and laughed, while the others on the team helplessly shook their heads.

“Just curious, that’s all.” Liu Gu scratched his head, “Boss, you need to gather a hundred kilos, right? Shall we help you?”

“Sure.” Xu Ran didn’t reject Liu Gu’s kindness.

“Uncle Liu, look, ones like this that are thoroughly green and look half-transparent, these are ripe Green Jade Fruits.”

“Got it!” Liu Gu gave a thumbs up as a “no problem” gesture, then dived into the bushes to begin gathering efficiently.

“Every second we spend outside the city is dangerous. Let’s all help, gather what we can and go back as quickly as possible.” Zhang Yun waved his hand, pulled the others in to help, even the Pet Beasts weren’t idle.

The mature Green Jade Fruits were each the size of a fist. With everyone working together to collect them, one full burlap bag was quickly gathered.

“That’s about a hundred kilos.” Liu Gu tied the mouth of the burlap bag, weighed it, and nodded slightly, “Boss, is this enough?”

“It’s enough.”

He took one look at the Novice Task 3, confirmed that it meets the requirement. All he needed to do now to complete the task was to bring this hundred kilos of Green Jade Fruits back to the store, Xu Ran nodded.

“In that case, let’s head back into the city as soon as possible.” Zhang Yun surveyed his surroundings, his face displaying seriousness, “Staying outside the city for too long, I’m afraid that something might happen.”

“Captain, aren’t you being a little too cautious?” Yan Fan voiced discontentedly, “It hasn’t even been an hour since we left the city, and we haven’t encountered a single Transcendent Being during that hour.”

“It’s because we haven’t encountered a single Transcendent Being that I feel something’s not right.” Zhang Yun replied gravely, “Have you ever not encountered any enemy Transcendent Beings within an hour out of the city before?”

“Well…” Upon hearing Zhang Yun say this, Yan Fan couldn’t help but shake his head, “I guess I really haven’t.”

“Now that you’ve said this, Captain, I’m starting to notice it too.” Liu Xue looked confused, “Could our luck really be that good today?”

“Don’t count on luck.” Zhang Yun slightly shook his head, “When things go unusually well, there must be a ghost. Whatever the reason, there’s no need for us to take the risk.”

Hearing the exchange between the three, Xu Ran subconsciously touched the Good Luck Charm hidden beneath his collar.

The Good Luck Charm was still flashing with light, a symbol that it hadn’t been activated yet.

Could it be that my Good Luck Charm wasn’t the one that did the work?

Is there really a problem?

His heart tightened a little, feeling a rush of nervousness due to Zhang Yun’s analysis. “We’ve gathered the resources, let’s hurry back,” he interjected.

Since Xu Ran, who’s the employer, has said so, the others didn’t say more. After carefully tying the burlap bag full of Green Jade Fruits on the Armored Rhino’s backplate, they quickly jumped onto its back.

“Let’s go!” Du Heng spoke softly. The Armored Rhino let out a low growl, striding with its big muscular legs and shaking the earth with a “boom, boom” sound, quickly retreating the way they came.

“After we’re back in the city, we’ll need a good few days to rest up.” Liu Gu stretched, flashing Xu Ran a smile, “In fact, we were planning to rest up after yesterday’s job but because of your request, we came out of the city one more time.”

“So, Boss, if you have similar requests in the future, remember to consider the Tiger Hunting Squad first-” Liu Xue looked at Xu Ran with a beaming smile.

“Sure, if I need it.” Xu Ran nodded.

Spending time with the Tiger Hunting Squad was quite pleasant, and they were already familiar with each other. If there’s a need for hiring in the future, they would naturally be the best choice.

The atmosphere on the way back was more relaxed, and those sitting on the Armored Rhino casually chatted.

“Boom!”

The sudden decrease in the Armored Rhino’s speed put an end to the casual chatting.

It anxiously looked around, filled with unease.

“Du Heng, what happened?” Zhang Yun was surprised at first, then swiftly turned to Du Heng.

“The Armored Rhino has sensed unusual earth vibrations.” While comforting the Armored Rhino by patting its head, Du Heng communicated with it, soon speaking, “These unusual vibrations make it feel uneasy.”

“Unusual vibrations?” Zhang Yun’s brow furrowed.

As an Earth attribute Pet Beast, the Armored Rhino was more sensitive to earth vibrations. A vibration that would make it feel uneasy, it couldn’t be good news.

Thinking back to the ominous premonition he had since leaving the city, Du Heng quickly stood up on the back of the Armored Rhino and peered in the direction of Qingzhou City.

From their current location, they could faintly see the towering walls of Qingzhou City.

“Let it endure for a while, we’re only a quarter of an hour away from the city gate.” Zhang Yun patted Du Heng’s shoulder, and just about to say something else, when Yan Fan suddenly yelled out to the side, “What is that?!”

Zhang Yun swiftly turned his head, the other team members and Xu Ran also followed Yan Fan’s gaze toward the distance.

On the far side of the wilderness, something seemed to be surging.

At first, all they could see was a cloud of dust rising, but only a few breaths later, everyone could see the varied forms of Transcendent Beings hidden in the dust.

Not just on the ground, there were also many terrifying-looking Transcendent Beings circling and flying in the sky.

These Transcendent Beings swung towards the direction of Qingzhou City as if they had received some sort of command. The sight was tremendously horrifying.

“It’s a… Beast Tide!” Zhang Yun’s pupils shrank suddenly, his face turned pale with terror.

Upon hearing these two words, the expressions of the other four also became incredibly terrified.

This killing method driven by quantity is the most powerful weapon of the Transcendent Beings when attacking Human Cities.

Even with high and strong city walls, Humans still had to pay an unimaginable price every time they faced a Beast Tide.

“Turn back and run towards the outskirts!” Zhang Yun’s face was heavier than ever, and his voice was a bit hoarse, “We’re in trouble this time.”

“Can’t we rush to Qingzhou City?” Xu Ran asked anxiously, “With the speed of the Armored Rhino, shouldn’t we reach the city gates before the Beast Tide arrives?”

“We can’t get in.” Liu Gu spoke in a deep voice, “The Beast Masters in charge of the city’s defense must have seen the movement of the Beast Tide. The city gates are already locked.”

“Between opening the city gates to save us, potentially causing a devastating attack on the city gates by the Beast Tide and keeping the gates closed, the Beast Masters in charge of the city’s defense would only choose the latter..”
