Chapter 1123 Beast Calamity Mountain Range (4)
Chapter 1123 Beast Calamity Mountain Range (4)
Days passed, and Ace, following Chuchu’s lead, left the river and headed into the forest. Despite Ace’s wariness with Chuchu, Cyrus was extremely ecstatic when Ace approved of her, and he completely forgot about what happened earlier.
Nonetheless, Ace still sternly reminded him to be vigilant of their surroundings all the time and be ready for any unforsaken events that might occur if Chuchu had some ulterior motives.
However, even after two weeks, they didn’t encounter any trouble, and Ace started to believe Chuchu’s words. Although there were still many beasts in their way, they were all scared away because of Cyrus and Chuchu’s auras since they were all only Elemental State beings.
Furthermore, Ace learned more about the Beast Calamity Mountain Range from Chuchu. It was extremely vast, and he found that the human settlements and the Sect Alliance City were only the outer regions of it.
Not only that, but Chuchu revealed that she had seen humans approaching the territory of the Mountain Tyrant many times, and every time, they came back alive.
This was a very huge matter because the Mountain Tyrant seemed to be the King of the Beast Calamity Mountain Range, and no one could come alive after barging into his territory, especially those humans who were quite weak, according to Chuchu’s observation.
The Mountain Tyrant seemed to have eyes everywhere in the inner region of the Beast Calamity Mountain Range because every powerful beast was his subordinate. So, it was quite clear those humans had the Mountain Tyrant’s permission to approach his territory.
This was the only limit of Chuchu’s information since she didn’t dare venture too deep into the Beast Calamity Mountain Range except for the fact that she could sense many treasures close to the Mountain Tyrant territory that attracted her.
Despite the lack of core information, Ace was able to make some guesses about this situation with humans and Mountain Tyrant. He suspected that they were most likely in some kind of agreement, or with how powerful Chuchu described the Mountain Tyrant and his greedy nature; there was no way he would allow the humans to mine the Spirit Stones in his territory.
He either didn’t put those spirit stones in his eyes, or he was getting something out of this. Whichever the case was, he was only interested in getting out of this place and then waiting until the system was upgraded.
However, with their current pace, he felt that he wouldn’t be able to leave this place, and the system upgrade would have to be finished first.
That’s why Ace decided to swallow this bitter pill and asked Chuchu if she had any safe place where they could stay for a few days where no one could find them. He didn’t want to be in a dangerous situation when the system was done upgrading, so he decided to remain hidden here.
After all, according to Chuchu, they were going in the opposite direction from the Sect Alliance City or any human settlements because this area’s Qi density was very low, and only low-level beasts that couldn’t venture into the inner region of the beast calamity mountain range lived or hide here.
Chuchu’s hideout was also here, so she quickly led them there. But that hideout turned out to be a hole in the ground, so Ace had to make it big enough himself, which somewhat displeased Ace as he was tempering with her home without her permission. fгeewebnovёl.com
Ace didn’t care at all, and after opening a huge cave underground, he placed all kinds of formations and alarms just to be safe and only then did he sighed in relief as he could finally have some rest.
“You did well.” Ace calmly complimented Chuchu, who was looking at him with a judging gaze.
“This nest is very bleak! Little maid, I’ll show you my nest!” Cyrus suddenly chimed in as he looked at Ace with an expectant gaze, “Can I, Big Bro?”
Chuchu’s eyes shimmered with anticipation as Cyrus’s words drew her attention instantly. She also wanted to see her Boss’s nest, but she was confused because a nest couldn’t move around.
However, Ace shook his head, “I can’t send her in; wait a little longer.” He made up a subtle excuse since he still didn’t completely trust Chuchu to send her into the thief’s space because her prowess wouldn’t be suppressed.
Although Eva and Alina were present, he didn’t want to risk something happening to the Thief’s Space if these guys ended up fighting. It was already a miracle that those two were still living in harmony without raising hell after that day, and he wanted to keep it that way.
Cyrus became a little dejected but still believed Ace’s words, “Alright, I’ll wait. Little maid, I’ll show you my nest when there is no more problem; just wait!”
“Chu (Alright!)” Chuchu nodded in understanding, a little reluctantly, but she still looked forward to seeing her Boss’s mysterious nest that could move.
“Here, this is your reward for bringing us here. I can’t live in your home for free after all.” Ace then decided to reward Chuchu with Grade-9 herbs. He already knew she ate Qi herbs and Qi fruits and disliked eating meat. Although he still didn’t trust her, it doesn’t mean he would take things from Cyrus’s adherents.
Chuchu’s eyes suddenly widened when she saw a small pile of herbs suddenly appear in front of her, and then she looked at Ace with a completely different gaze.
Normally, she would have to risk exposure to get these kinds of herbs from the inner regions since they exist in the territories of the Mountain Lords, and sometimes, she had to eat extremely low-level herbs that were akin to common grass for her.
It was her first time seeing so many herbs at once, and they were all given to her by the big brother of her Boss. ‘It was the right decision to follow the Boss! Now I understand why the Boss called him Big Brother. He has a moving nest and even has so much delicious food. He’s worthy of being Big Boss!’
Ace felt somewhat strange seeing Chuchu start nodding on her own. Her grateful glance made him somewhat embarrassed as if he had earned a child’s favor with candy!
Just like that, days passed, and on this day, Ace had a solemn yet excited expression on his face as he looked at the panel in front of him! freёwebnovel.com
