Chapter 1017 - Are You Looking Down On Me?

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Wang Teng rushed out of the flaming river with his spiritual pets and a group of Fire Black Toads hot on their tails. They were mostly emperor-level and low-tier imperial-level Fire Black Toads. There were a few mid-tier imperial-level ones, which were equivalent to the cosmos stage.

Boom!

It was such a large group of Fire Black Toads that it was overwhelming. It was a spectacular scene.

An Lan was ready to take action when he heard Wang Teng's voice. However, even with his willpower, he was still taken aback when he witnessed the sight.

So many of them!

An Lan's eyes widened, and he cursed in his heart. He then yelled at the top of his lungs, "Attack!"

The three mechas charged at them immediately.

Croak! Croak! Croak…

Amid the pitiful cries, the Fire Black Toads were getting killed in batches. To cosmos-stage martial warriors, these toads were equivalent to planetary-stage and celestial-stage martial warriors. It was not a problem for them.

Besides, An Lan, a heaven-stage martial warrior was present as well. The Thousand Armaments Vessel turned into streaks of light and devastated the Fire Black Toads.

Wang Teng had seen the assembled form of the Thousand Armaments Vessel, and now, he saw its detached form. It was indeed a lethal weapon!

Even the mid-tier imperial-level Fire Black Toads had no chance of survival when facing An Lan.

Wang Teng instructed Little White and the metal armor flaming scorpion to attack while he stood by the side and gave them moral support. He didn't forget to collect the attribute bubbles.

Constellation Force (Fire)*80

Blank Attribute*300

Constellation Force (Fire)*500

Blank Attribute*800

Fire Tongue*50

Constellation Force (Fire)*700

Blank Attribute*1000

Constellation Force (Fire)*1200

Fire Tongue*75

…

Huge numbers of attribute bubbles merged into Wang Teng's body, increasing his constellation fire Force once again.

Just like he had guessed, emperor-level star beasts dropped fewer attribute bubbles. Only imperial-level star beasts dropped the normal amounts.

However, it wasn't a problem. Things would be fine as long as he hunted enough star beasts. With An Lan and the three other mechas, he could just pick the attribute bubbles while lying down.

It's great to be rich!

If you had the money, you could just hire strong people to do the work for you. It was awesome.

After a while, the Fire Black Toads that were led by Wang Teng were all killed. There were roughly 50 of them, and there were five mid-tier imperial-level Fire Black Toads.

"Let's continue!"

Wang Teng got Little White and the metal armor flaming scorpion to enter the river once again.

"This guy really treats me as his laborer!" An Lan was caught between laughter and tears. He was helpless.

He had to work for the money!

It smells so good~

…

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Wang Teng and the others followed the flaming river and continued farming. One by one, the Fire Black Toads entered his space ring.

With their method, they spent less than half a day and exceeded the 500 Fire Black Toads required for the mission. However, they didn't have 50 of the mid-tier imperial-level Fire Black Toads.

Mid-tier imperial-level star beasts were equivalent to cosmos-stage martial warriors. A star beast of that level was rather rare.

Two days later, Wang Teng had hunted 2,380 Fire Black Toads, with 53 mid-tier imperial-level ones. He had satisfied the requirements.

Even so, it was incredible.

The emperor-level star beasts were like overlords on Earth. However, here, they were hunted down like regular star beasts.

Wang Teng wouldn't have believed it in the past. But in the universe, this was nothing.

Emperor-level and low-tier imperial-level star beasts were common, just like planetary-stage and celestial-stage martial warriors.

This was especially so in some special regions, where there were countless emperor-level star beasts. The Flaming River World was one such place.

The number of Fire Black Toads in the river had surprised him, An Lan, and the others.

Two days later, Wang Teng and the others stopped hunting temporarily. They were all bored after killing for two days.

But the benefits couldn't be ignored. Wang Teng's constellation fire Force and blank attributes had skyrocketed

Constellation Fire Force: 5600/30000 (celestial stage third level)

Blank Attribute: 576000

His constellation fire Force had advanced to the third level. He just broke through it to the celestial stage recently, and now, it was already at the third level.

No genius could match his speed.

Meanwhile, he had 576,000 blank attributes, more than he ever had before. Wang Teng had not decided on how he would use them, saving them for the time being. It wasn't too late for him to think about it after this trial was over.

Besides that, he had improved another skill by a large margin.

Fire Tongue: 10000/10000 (perfected)

This was a real surprise. He actually perfected it.

Wang Teng's application of Fire Tongue had reached a very high level. It was more flexible and swift, and he could control its power and tenacity.

His mastery might perhaps even surpass countless Fire Black Toads.

For a moment, Wang Teng didn't know what to feel. Many images that shouldn't have appeared in his mind surfaced involuntarily.

Ashamed! Ashamed!

Cough… Stop it!

"Do you still want to hunt?" An Lan interrupted his wild thoughts.

"Let's hunt for another two days. Somehow, I feel that there is a deeper meaning behind this flaming river's existence," Wang Teng replied after pondering.

"Oh, why do you say that?"

"Don't you find that there are too many Fire Black Toads here?"

"It's a bit too much, but it shouldn't be a big deal. After all, they were raised here for so many years and there are no predators to kill them. It is natural to have so many of them."

"But I found a problem." Wang Teng frowned as though he was in deep thought.

"What problem?"

"When I brought my two spiritual pets into the river, I realized that they were not affected too much. This river seems to be very 'friendly' to star beasts."

"Is that so? Now that you've said it, it does seem a bit strange!" An Lan rubbed his chin and his eyes shone, as though he was thinking about the same problem. He then asked after a while, "Do you have any idea?"

"I have a guess, but I don't know if it's right. I'll have to verify it. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find what I want these few days." Wang Teng shook his head helplessly.

"Let's search for another two days. We dug flaming river crystals for three days and hunted Fire Black Toads for two days. It doesn't matter if you spend another two days finding it. We still have half of the time left to obtain the legacy. No one has succeeded till now; it won't be that easy. Don't have high hopes for it. You have to accept the outcome. Just make sure you win the two missions. Cao Hongtu and the others are probably planning the same as well," An Lan said.

"You are actually smart," Wang Teng said in surprise.

"… Are you looking down on me?" An Lan shot him a glare.

"No. You know me. I always admire a strong person like you," Wang Teng widened his innocent eyes and said.

"… Scram~" An Lan spat in a bad mood.
