[ Yao Yuan: Hunting Beast caught, E-rank]
[ Beast Tamer: Thank you, Senior Yuan ]
Brother Yuanzi is really reliable; he caught a Hunting Beast in less than a day.
[ Yao Yuan: I don't know what exactly you need. This Hunting Beast was captured alive by me, it wasn't injured, and its combat strength is at its peak.]
[ Beast Tamer: Thank you for the reminder, senior.]
Qin Ze wasn't worried at all; he could easily suppress a mere E-level Hunting Beast.
Yao Yuan has sent you a red envelope. Do you want to accept it?
Qin Ze did not accept immediately, but instead left the hotel and went to the old town.
Brother Devour set up a temporary base here.
It was an abandoned warehouse, far from any village or shop, and very secluded.
Brother Devour, the Dharma King, and the Giant Overlord were all nearby, in case of any accidents.
Qin Ze opened the chat group and received the red envelope sent by Brother Yuanzi.
A white light illuminated the warehouse.
As the white light disappeared, a Hunting Beast, three meters long and nearly two meters tall, was released.
The Hunting Beast was a little dazed when it landed.
Upon seeing the living person in front of him, he immediately became excited.
"Roar--"
The Hunting Beast roared, leaned back, and prepared to pounce on Qin Ze, who was closest to it.
Just then, the three Dharma King released the pressure of Level Three Martial Artist, enveloping the Hunting Beast.
The Hunting Beast's eyes widened, and its fur instantly bristled.
How are these three humans so strong?
Having just escaped one tiger's den, they've fallen into another.
The Hunting Beast quickly scanned its surroundings.
Besides the four people in front of us, there were quite a few other masked individuals in the warehouse.
However, their auras were not very strong and could be ignored.
There is only one exit, about a hundred steps away.
If he activates his ability, he can rush out in a single breath.
The Hunting Beast quickly devised an escape plan in its mind.
Just as it was about to carry out its plan, a human body in front of it suddenly swelled up and transformed in the blink of an eye into a giant whose upper body was covered with scales.
Bang!
A huge bone club slammed down in front of the Hunting Beast, instantly creating a large crater in the ground.
"Little one, where are you going?"
The Giant Overlord stood high above, its forehead revealing a single, scarlet vertical pupil.
Sensing the aura emanating from the other party, which was even more ferocious than that of a strange beast, the Hunting Beast couldn't help but prostrate itself on the ground, trembling with fear.
The surrounding clones were filled with disdain and contempt.
That's it?
"What a disgrace to the beasts! They chickened out so quickly."
"Has he recognized the Giant Overlord as his godfather?"
"It's far inferior to that Hunting Beast from the Tide; it doesn't even have the slightest desire to attack."
"It is recommended that he be expelled from the animal kingdom."
"..."
The Hunting Beast noticed the "trash" around it pointing and whispering. Although it couldn't understand their language, it could tell from their tone and micro-expressions that they weren't saying anything nice.
You guys don't know anything. This beast is only making a temporary compromise.
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.
Qin Ze was genuinely surprised that this Hunting Beast backed down so quickly.
His original plan was to beat the guy up, leaving him alive so that it wouldn't affect his ability.
Unfortunately, the Hunting Beast was far too pragmatic.
From now on, you'll be called Big Black.
Giant Overlord threw a heavy iron chain in front of Big Black.
"Put it on yourself."
Despite feeling wronged and resentful, under the watchful eye of the Giant Overlord 'Big Black third eye, Dahei obediently put the chain around its neck.
"Waaah~"
Big Black obediently sat down in front of Giant Overlord and wagged its tail.
The Giant Overlord returned to normal, holding the chain in its other hand.
"From now on, we'll have battle pets too."
The Dharma King reached out and patted the "dog's head," and Big Black impatiently backed away.
Sizzle--
The Dharma King flicked a bolt of lightning from his fingertip, and all the fur on Big Black's body stood on end.
"Waaah~"
Big Black bowed to the Dharma King in a fawning manner.
Brother Devour said calmly, "Looks like a dog."
Qin Ze nodded. "Indeed."
Big Black completely overturned his impression of alien beasts.
The Dharma King withdrew his hand. "Our Circus now has its first wild animal."
"Practice Big Black properly, and he can perform and sell tickets in the future."
Qin Ze said, "The auction will begin in three hours."
"Leave this to Giant Overlord, don't lose it."
If a Hunting Beast gets lost on the ground, that's going to be a real problem.
The Giant Overlord patted his chest and assured him, "Leave it to me."
Qin Ze turned to face the group of eager clones.
" Brother Jie has already set up the stage; it would be too disrespectful of us not to go."
"As I said before, even if no one applauds, don't forget to take a graceful bow."
The clones were already impatient.
"Stop babbling! All troops, attack!"
"Damn it! I failed to get a spot in the Self-Destruct Squad again this round."
"Hehehe! I got the last one!"
"It's my turn to perform!"
"Starting tomorrow, the legend of the Circus will spread to every corner of Sea Capital and Pearl City!"
"..."
8 PM, abandoned stadium in the old city.
Tonight is the full moon.
Even without streetlights in the old town, the streets and alleys are still brightly lit.
Qin Ze led a professional team to scout out the location of the stadium.
All five were covered by a long black robe, completely concealing their bodies from head to toe, with only their eyes showing.
By this time, the stadium stands were already quite full.
Qin Ze quickly glanced at the group; there were indeed fifty people.
The people were seated far apart, with at least a dozen meters between each other.
Like Qin Ze's professional team, everyone present was masked.
Only two people sat openly and confidently in the center of the audience.
However, Qin Ze did not think that was their own face.
They might be wearing a "human skin mask," or they might possess an ability to easily disguise themselves, like Thousand Faces.
In such situations, even a powerful outsider must maintain a low profile.
Qin Ze and the others found an empty seat and sat down.
Lu Tongtong other three were extremely nervous, barely daring to breathe.
Although none of them released their auras, they were undoubtedly all powerful individuals.
"Will the Law Enforcement Department be at the scene?" Lu Tongtong asked softly.
"What do you think?" Qin Ze asked.
There's no doubt there were Law Enforcement Department personnel in the stadium.
One of the people here might be the Level Eight Executive Officer who rushed to Pearl City overnight.
Brother Jie wants money, Virgo wants batteries, and the Law Enforcement Department wants to get rid of Virgo once and for all.
It's like a food chain.
What we're seeing now is merely the calm before the storm; the real drama is yet to come.
Huai Xu whispered, "Will the company be there too?"
Qin Ze nodded. "That's for sure."
"If they could actually buy the batteries back, it would save them a lot of trouble."
"They probably won't get their way tonight."
There are too many wolves and not enough meat; countless eyes are eyeing that battery.
Qin Ze was also itching to know what kind of battery was attracting so much attention.
"They've arrived."
No sooner had Qin Ze finished speaking than Fan Mingjie suddenly appeared in the center of the stadium.
Many people present were startled, as they had not detected Fan Mingjie's presence at all.
Fan Mingjie looked around, cleared his throat, and smiled:
"Welcome to tonight's auction."
