324: Chapter 208: Poison Liquid Acquired 324: Chapter 208: Poison Liquid Acquired âDamn creature!
It was you releasing that stench all along!
And you even took my form, today I will make sure you go to Hell!!â
Weiss clutched his head and raged.
Zhang Xiaoman glanced at the others and waited until Fog Heart ceased, then asked, âSo, whoâs willing to step up and personally finish it off?â
Upon hearing this, everyoneâs gaze turned back to Fog Heart, preparing to speak, when Weiss cut in first:
âLet me do it, Iâve sworn to personally kill this stinky bastard, and it has taken my form no less, which is absolutely intolerable!â
Zhang Xiaoman looked at him, then nodded and said, âAlright then, be careful and watch out for its Spiritual Attack.â
At those words, Weiss excitedly rubbed his hands together, feeling thrilled at the prospect of taking down such monsters.
As a Bounty Hunter, he had killed his fair share of bandits, but he had never come across such a peculiar monster until today.
âIncluding you, Iâll have three kills on record, what a nice number indeed.
When I get back, Iâll need to boast about this to those guys for a good while, letting them know who the bravest man in Wildfire Team really is.â
Weiss mumbled to himself as he walked towards Fog Heart, which seemed to sense the approaching danger and started screeching again, unleashing Spiritual Attacks while also calling for nearby comrades.
Unfortunately, it seemed there were no other monsters left in the mist.
Seeing this, the others had strange expressions, and Xiao Shun couldnât help but make a snide comment.
âKeep screaming, even if you scream your throat out, no one will come to save you.â
Ultimately, Fog Heart didnât escape its fate of being killed.
Weiss had run out of bullets, so he pulled out a Dagger he carried with him, and plunged it into the face that looked exactly like his own.
With Fog Heartâs death, Zhang Xiaoman was awarded 1 point.
It wasnât much, but it was expected.
Still, even a mosquito leg is meat, and 1 point would take him a whole dayâs worth of lottery draws to acquire, right?
And so, the greatest threat in the mist had been eliminated, but the fog wasnât going to dissipate so quickly.
The exact time frame was unclear even to Zhang Xiaoman, as he had never conducted such an investigation before.
Taking out a small bottle from his pocket, he collected some of the gas, planning to find some equipment to test it when he got backâeven though he didnât know whether there would be equipment capable of testing such a substance, as the paralysis effect was no joke.
Fog Heart had been located in a small woodland surrounded by a fence, and Lord Bear looked at the environment around them, his expression turning peculiar.
âWhatâs wrong?
Did you find something?â
Hu Peng was the first to notice his abnormal reaction and asked aloud.
Narrowing his eyes, Lord Bear inspected a small thicket not far away more closely, then said in disbelief:
âItâs hard to imagine, someone actually kept Black Mamba Snakes inside a fence made of wood.
I have no idea how they cohabitated, isnât he afraid of being attacked?â
Everyone else followed his gaze and, after scrutinizing for quite a while, they realized that hidden amongst the bushes was a pitch-black poisonous snake.
âThese snakes must have received regular feedings, otherwise they wouldnât be so healthy,â Lord Bear said, âbut I donât know where Old Toby got the feed for these snakes.â
âI know, behind the valley, thereâs a chicken coop, and those chickens were also raised by Old Toby.
He had many of them, probably using them to feed the snakes,â Weiss said.
Xun You smacked his lips with a look of astonishment on his face, âItâs such a luxury to feed chickens to snakes, I wonder what he was really after.â
Weiss made a face, âWho knows, there are many locals here who worship the Witch God like he didâthey always like to do some mysterious things.
Weâve long been used to it.
Anyway, these guys havenât really produced any real Transcendents, just a bunch of self-deceiving followers.
Look at Old Toby, he believed in the Witch God all his life but didnât see any divine savior come to his aid when he diedâŠâ
Zhang Xiao Man listened to his words and thought back to the corpse he had seen in the cabin, shaking his head inwardly.
Werenât the Masters he had seen before just like that?
One deceives one, another deceives many after all.
âNow that weâve found the snakes, itâs a pity their owner is dead.
What do you plan to do?
This place will probably be abandoned before long if no one takes care of it.â
Lord Bear was also somewhat helpless as he directed his gaze to Weiss, who had posed the question, and asked, âDo you have any idea what will happen to this land now that Old Toby is dead?â
Weiss glanced at him, âIâm afraid it wonât be long before wild animals take over, or if the locals discover it, theyâll take it for themselves.
Then youâll probably have to come back and start over, unless you occupy it beforehandâŠâ
âAre you suggesting we station someone here?â Xiao Shun asked.
Weiss nodded, âActually, itâs quite simple.
Old Toby didnât have any descendants, and now that heâs dead, no one remembers him.
If you want some stability, then buy the right to use the land from the local governmentâŠâ
âAlthough nobody might remember this place, this way is the most legitimate.
Of course, if you donât care, you might as well not spend the money.â
âOh?
How much would it cost?â Zhang Xiao Man became interested.
After thinking for a moment, Weiss said, âThis area is south of the Ubangi River, within the territory of Brazzaville.
If you go to the local government to buy usage rights, itâs really cheap.
Converted to US Dollars, itâs about 200 dollars a year, and it certainly wonât exceed 500 dollars.â
âThat cheap!â exclaimed Xun You.
Weiss smiled, âOf course, take a look at where we are.
They canât wait for someone to rent this land.
As long as they donât have to pay out of pocket, itâs basically a done deal.â
âBy the way, if you donât have a suitable Manager in mind, I can introduce someone to you.
I can even take care of the rental contract and the paperwork, as long as the commission you give is sufficient.
After all, I am a Bounty Hunter,â he said.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xiao Man nodded and replied, âAlright, but Iâd like to know who youâre recommending?â
âHeâs a villager from around here, Bell and the others have already met himâitâs Little Pierâs father; you can call him Nisael.
He used to be an excellent Hunter until he broke a leg, but Iâm confident he can manage this land with no issues.
Of course, thatâs provided youâre willing to pay him a salary.â
