300 miles to the East is Jishan. A bird in the mountain looked over the valley. It had three heads, six eyes, six feet and three wings. Its name is Shangfu. It can survive without sleeping.
"Four Seas Chamber of Commerce!"
"Sun Fruits!"
"Tens of millions gone!"
The people around them exclaimed slightly. Everyone's attention was fixed on this incident.
The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce was one of the top chambers of commerce in Lan City.
Business was booming, and the company's goods could be shipped to the whole of Baiyue Province.
In the new era, the wilderness was filled with exotic beasts, which meant that transportation became extremely inconvenient and dangerous.
Every transport convoy needed to be protected by sufficient forces. Otherwise, it was extremely easy to lose both the soldiers and the goods.
The Sun Fruit was a Rank Two heavenly treasure. For martial artists of Rank Two and below, it could quickly replenish their vitality and increase their cultivation speed after consumption.
The market price of a single Sun Fruit was close to 100,000 dollars! Of course, itt wouldn't be a problem to double the profits of these types of treasures.
"Will they send people to salvage the boat?" Ding Peng asked curiously.
Chu Lingjun shook his head and interrupted, "The Sun Fruit is resistant to the sun but not the cold. Once it falls into the water, most of the essence will be lost to the sea."
Everyones' shoulders fell in disappointment. So that was the case. There were countless mutated beasts in the water of the Lianjiang River. It was too risky to fish them out without getting caught!
"How did the boat sink?" At this time, Chen Zhiqi blinked her beautiful eyes and asked curiously.
"The news didn't mention this." Chu Lingjun looked at Ding Ying. He wanted to know if ding Yinh knew any inside information.
Ding Ying shook his head. Clearly, he did not know either.
However, he added, "I heard that the Wild Wave Company jumped into the river to fish for the treasures. They did obtain some things worth nothing. Initially, ten people went in, but in the end, only five people came up."
"Wild Wave Company?" Lin Yin was puzzled. It was obviously the first time she had heard this name.
"They're like the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, the company's main business is commodity transportation, exotic beast hunting, security, and so on.
"However, from the name of the company, we know that their main business is water transportation. The people they hire are mainly espers with abilities related to water, or some martial artists who cultivate water techniques.
"Because the Wild Wave Company's people are overbearing and rude, some refer to them as a gang instead of a company."
Ding Ying nodded. "That's right. I heard that in recent years, the Wild Wave Company has been targeting all kinds of sunken ships. They rely on the uniqueness of their cultivation techniques and abilities to make a fortune. They have gained some fame and are envied by others."
It wasn't easy for the Wild Wave Company to loot treasures seamlessly. There were countless mutated beasts in the Lianjiang River, and fishing for treasures in the water was equivalent to snatching food from the tiger's mouth.
Hearing Ding Ying say that half of the Wild Wave Company's men were lost in the water, one could tell how dangerous Lianjiang was!
However… Chu Lingjun's heart was filled with ripples and emotions!
It was difficult for humans to enter the water, but his electric eel clone could!
Moreover, the electric eel was a beast in the water, so it had a natural advantage over humans!
Letting the electric eel hunt for treasure would change the difficulty of the game from hard to normal!
Tonight, he would let the electric eel clone try touching the treasure!
…
After the 15-minute break, everyone slowly climbed up the mountain.
The vegetation on the White Cloud Mountain was dense, and the lush tree crowns covered the sky.
Even though the White Cloud Mountain was a place where the students of Quicksand High School often came to train, there were a few rough and blurry paths on the mountain that might pose a challenge to them.
However, everyone had no choice but to pull out their swords and advance while clearing the way. Otherwise, it would be difficult to settle down.
This was the situation of a real primeval forest. The road that had just been opened a few days ago was very likely to be completely covered by the wild growth of plants after a heavy downpour.
Everyone slowly moved forward. At some point, Shan Qiuru managed to jump onto a big tree above everyone. Her gaze was sharp as she took in the situation below.
Just as everyone was quietly moving forward for a while, suddenly, a rooster crowing sounded from the dense forest in front of them!
It was so loud that it echoed through the dense forest.
Everyone who was slowly moving forward was stunned.
Was that a chicken?
A pheasant?
Wasn't this rooster's crow too loud?
Just as everyone was puzzled, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the dense forest and ran towards the team.
The air shrieked, and the leaves split apart. The black shadow pecked at one of the students standing at the front!
It was Ding Ying!
Ding Ying had been vigilant of his surroundings. When he saw the black shadow suddenly appear and rush over, he quickly drew his saber and prepared for an attack.
The crisp sound of metal colliding rang out, and the huge force sent Ding Ying back a step!
However, just as Ding Ying thought that he had blocked the attack, the upper half of the black shadow in front of him suddenly split into three!
Another two black shadows quickly pecked at Ding Ying's long saber. Ding Ying immediately felt his arms tremble and go numb. He even almost lost his grip on the saber. The huge force also sent him flying backward!
The people behind him hurriedly caught Ding Ying. At the spot where Ding Ying had been standing, a strange-looking exotic beast appeared!
This exotic beast was nearly two meters tall and looked like a mighty rooster.
However, the strange thing was that this rooster actually had three necks, three heads, six eyes, six legs, and three sets of wings!
Just now, the black shadow suddenly split into three!
"What the… What kind of exotic beast is this?"
"Did this rooster mutate and evolve into that thing?"
"Its iron beak is very hard and sharp, and it's very forceful." Ding Ying numbly held onto his saber as his hands trembled.
"It's fine. No matter how powerful it is, there are so many of us…"
"Ah!"
Before this person could finish his sentence, the rooster screeched again!
One after another, several three-headed chickens slowly walked through the dense forest.
There were more than a hundred of them surrounding the students!
The situation between the two parties instantly reversed!
They had a majestic and mighty appearance that loomed over the students.
