Chapter 81 - 81 One Wave Just Ended, Another Wave Rises (1)

81 One Wave Just Ended, Another Wave Rises (1)

The final trump card had also completely failed. The three secret realm hunters looked at the arrogant Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon and all fell to the ground with a plop.

“We… admit defeat!”

The boss of the secret realm hunters said unwillingly. Although he still had many soldiers that he had yet to attack, even his strongest [Netherworld Spirit] had suffered a crushing defeat. What was the point of sending out those soldiers?

Just as the three secret realm hunters admitted defeat, four white light barriers quietly disappeared in a place that no one could see in the distance.

!!

Under the effect of the [Challenge Contract], other than the soldiers of the three of them and their respective initial territories of 50 kilometers, a total of 700 kilometers of territory, 11 city-states, 60,000 people, and countless resources all fell into Wang Xiao’s pocket.

Seeing that the area of his territory had suddenly more than doubled, Wang Xiao almost could not help but laugh.

It could only be said that his fight with these three secret realm hunters were really not in vain. If Wang Xiao were to collect so many resources and territory himself, he might not even be able to do it in half a year!

After a simple inventory check, Wang Xiao cleared his throat and pretended to be sanctimonious. “Although I won these resources from the challenge, are you convinced?”

The eldest brother glanced at Wang Xiao and did not say anything. The secret realm hunter beside him whispered, “So what if we’re not convinced? Will you still return the resources to us?”

Wang Xiao pursed his lips and smiled. “Of course not. However… I can give you a chance to make a comeback.”

When they heard that they could make a comeback, the three of them raised their heads.

With a thought, three [Vassal Contracts] appeared in Wang Xiao’s hand. “I think your strength is not bad. After signing the contracts and becoming my vassal lord, I will definitely not treat you badly.”

“Did I hear wrongly?”

The eldest of the three was so angry that he laughed. “We’re level four lords. You want us to be your vassals?”

Wang Xiao blinked. “Didn’t I make myself clear?”

“…”

Boss was speechless. After a few seconds, he asked, “After becoming your vassal, can we still be secret realm hunters?”



“Of course. I won’t interfere in any of your actions.”

Wang Xiao nodded and revealed a harmless smile. “However, you have to give me seventy percent of the profits from every operation.”

“Seventy percent?”

Another secret realm hunter frowned. “You want to be a secret realm hunter with us?”

“No, you guys are the only ones that are secret realm hunters. I’m only in charge of obtaining the benefits.”

That person pursed his lips and probed, “Do you mean that you won’t do anything and we’ll work hard outside and give you 70% after obtaining the benefits?”

“Right!”

“…You’re going too far! You’re going too far!”

The boss was so angry that his mouth was crooked. He stood up angrily and realized that the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] was looking at him and sitting back down. “On what basis? Why should we give you 70% of the resources we risked our lives to obtain?!”

“Well …”

Wang Xiao thought seriously for a moment and pointed at the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] beside him. “Because I’m stronger than you?”

Upon hearing this, the three of them were speechless. They all turned their heads away and did not look at Wang Xiao, but they would not sign that contract no matter what.

Putting aside the unfair distribution, it was impossible for a level four lord to become a vassal of a level three lord. This was a matter of dignity. Even if they lost to Wang Xiao, they could not lose their dignity as lords. They could not even if it meant dying!

Seeing the stubborn expressions of the three of them, Wang Xiao could not help but secretly laugh. Actually, he had expected this situation from the beginning, so he had no intention of taking these three people in as vassal lords.

With another thought, he put away the [Vassal Contract]. Wang Xiao came to the three of them and said seriously, “I can give you another choice—when you go to the secret realm to collect resources, you should come across a lot of beast eggs, right?”

The eldest of the three looked at Wang Xiao. “You want beast eggs?”

“That’s right. Give me all the beast eggs you find in the future… However, they have to be at least gold quality.”





Wang Xiao nodded. “In exchange, I can return all the resources to you, but I want to keep the territory and population.”

Boss hesitated when he heard this, but after weighing the pros and cons, he still nodded.

Firstly, there were materials that others had reserved in those resources. If they did not deliver them at the agreed date, it would affect their reputation as secret realm hunters.

Secondly, as Wang Xiao had said, they would often come across beast eggs when exploring the secret realm. It was just a matter of time for them to collect them. Although gold quality beast eggs were rare, Wang Xiao did not set a time limit and did not make things difficult for them.

Seeing that the other party had agreed, Wang Xiao took out another contract. After the two sides signed it, he opened the trading interface and placed the resources he had just obtained on it. After the boss received it, his expression also became much better.

After dealing with it, the three of them stood up. The eldest brother bowed sincerely to Wang Xiao. “About what happened just now… I’m really sorry.”

Wang Xiao knew that the other party might not be sincerely apologizing, but he did not care. What was there to be afraid of a defeated opponent?

“If there’s nothing else, leave.”

Wang Xiao waved his hand and instructed, “In the future, when you obtain high-level beast eggs, you can go to the trading market and hand them to a person called Ma Yunle. You can also directly send them to Kaiyang Academy.”

The three of them agreed repeatedly. Then, they turned around and ran into the depths of the dense forest. From their anxious expressions, it seemed that they were afraid that Wang Xiao would go back on his word.

Seeing this, Wang Xiao could not help but find it funny. After the three of them completely disappeared, he suddenly remembered that he had not asked for the other party’s name.

However, the contract had already been signed. He was not afraid that the three of them would go back on their word. Moreover, obtaining a 700-kilometer territory for no reason and a stable supply of high-level beast eggs was already enough for him to be happy.

“I wonder what Zhou Xiruo’s expression will be when she sees the expanded territory?”

Wang Xiao thought to himself. Then, he took out the secret realm key and prepared to leave.

He had come to the medium-sized secret realm this time mainly to see the strength of the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon]. Now that he had already achieved his goal and the surroundings were so quiet that it seemed like there were no living creatures, he could not be bothered to waste time exploring.

However, just as Wang Xiao was about to crush the key and retreat, a rustling sound suddenly sounded from afar, as if something was rapidly approaching!

At the same time, the surrounding temperature began to quickly rise. The high temperature gradually dissipated the humid fog. For the first time, the details of the [Mist Rainforest] appeared in front of Wang Xiao.

“There’s no aura of a mutated beast… Are they the two people from Yuheng Academy?”

Wang Xiao sniffled and muttered softly. Just as he was about to disguise himself as He Dazhi, a scorching Flowing Fire suddenly swept over silently from the dense forest!

The Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon immediately stepped forward and swung its dragon tail, sending the Flowing Fire flying. However, a large portion of the scales on its tail was also charred!

...

Wang Xiao’s expression changed slightly when he saw this. The defense of the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] was inferior to the [Gold Armor Black Turtle], but it was definitely not low.

However, the other party could injure the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] with a single strike, and Wang Xiao did not sense the aura of a mutated beast. What kind of soldier was so powerful?
