Beast Tamer: Super Lucky Starting Contract

After a short rest, everyone finally regained some energy and spirit.

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Mo." The fat man turned his head and said to Mo Xu.

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Mo." Jiang Pan, who was not very talkative, also thanked Mo Xu.

Mo Xu propped his hands on the ground and squinted his eyes to feel the coolness of the evening. After hearing what they said, he smiled and said, "Why should I suffer? The monster is the one who suffers."

The fat man was stunned. He didn't expect Mo Xu to answer like this.

Jiang Pan seemed to be thinking about something.

"Look, it's the sunset." Chen Xiaoyu shouted in surprise. She was sitting at the edge and was taking pictures with her mobile phone.

The glow has not yet completely covered the sky, only dimming a corner of the sky, but it is still very beautiful.

Everyone admired the scenery for a while. But after a good rest, they felt even more lazy and didn't want to walk back, so they had to ask the manager to pick them up.

Mo Xu called the manager. The manager's voice was noisy, as if he was cooking: "What did you say?"

"Captain, we have finished clearing. Can you come and pick us up?"

"Bang!" Something seemed to hit the floor. The manager was so excited that he said in dialect: "What are you talking about?! Is it cleared?!"

The director's voice was very excited: "Yes, yes, wait, I'll be right there."

After he hung up the phone, he untied his apron and walked out the door, shouting to the neighbor next door,

"Xiao Liu, come over here and continue cooking. The spatula is on the ground."

After someone came back from the room with an "OK", the manager shouted again, "Fire a few more". Without waiting for a response, he got on his three-wheeled motorcycle and set off at lightning speed to pick up all the people.

The celebration banquet in the evening was even grander. The manager called all the employees to attend and set up three tables. Even the food for the monsters was of a higher quality than before, which showed that a lot of money was spent.

Once his worry was gone, the manager became very generous. He thought that this amount of money was nothing compared to the losses of the farm.

"Cheers to Master Xiao Mo, Master Xiao Wang, Master Xiao Jiang, Master Xiao Chen, and the four powerful monsters." The director raised his glass.

The four of them also stood up with their glasses in hand, and everyone present also stood up and toasted together.

The atmosphere at the banquet was lively. Mo Xu also had a few sips of wine, which was a rare occasion. Fatty Wang was able to drink more freely, clinking glasses with the director, and in the end they almost became brothers.

Both the hosts and the guests had a great time at the celebration banquet. The fat man got so drunk that he kept shouting "I am Thor, I am Thor".

It was getting late, and considering Fatty Wang's condition, Chen Xiaoyu and Jiang Pan had no choice but to accept the invitation to stay the night.

Mo Xu had no objection. It was really not convenient to trouble the driver to go into the city and then out of the city so late. He also brought some spare clothes with him, so it would be fine for him to stay here for one night.

After the show, Fatty was carried to the guest room by the staff and Jiang Pan, and Chen Xiaoyu also went to help.

Mo Xu didn't drink much wine, and simply took Xiu Xiu for a walk. The suburban night was free of the hustle and bustle and light pollution of the city. Only a few watchtowers in the distance were still glowing.

"The stars in the sky are so bright." Xiu Xiu was very happy to see them.

It and Mo Xu both lay on their backs on the grass, looking up at the stars in the summer night.

"Which ones are the Big Dipper?" Xiu Xiu patted Mo Xu, turning into a curious baby.

"I do not know either."

"Mo Xu, do you think the people on the Big Dipper know the Fist of the North Star?"

"......have no idea."

The man and the beast looked at the night sky and talked endless nonsense.

"Hmm?" During the conversation, Mo Xu vaguely heard footsteps behind him.

He did not stop chatting with Xiu Xiu, but slowly sat up and turned his head to look behind him.

There did seem to be a dark outline, but Mo Xu couldn't see it clearly.

The footsteps sounded again, and there seemed to be no intention of hiding them.

Mo Xu was startled: "Could it be a ghost in this remote place?"

He suppressed his wild thoughts. How could the sound of footsteps be a ghost? But it could be a wild animal or a human.

"Shush, shush," Mo Xu communicated with Xiuxiu through the extraordinary space: "Get ready for battle."

Xiu Xiu was also a little scared. The "Wood Armor Technique" had quietly covered her body, and even the "Giant Extreme" was being prepared.

The shadow was getting closer and the footsteps were becoming clearer. Mo Xu and Xiu Xiu were still pretending to chat, but their attention was completely focused on the back.

"Brother Mo." The black shadow that was not far from Mo Xu suddenly spoke, interrupting Mo Xu's thought of launching an attack.

"Jiang Pan?" Mo Xu recognized the voice and his nervousness was mostly gone, but he still asked Xiu Xiu to stay ready for battle.

"It's me." Jiang Pan continued to walk closer.

At this time, under the starlight, Mo Xu could see the person clearly. It was indeed Jiang Pan. "What's wrong?"

Jiang Pan pursed his lips and squeezed his palms: "Brother Mo, I want to talk to you."

Sure enough, Jiang Pan came to him stealthily late at night, there must be something wrong.

"Brother Mo, I've always heard from Brother Fatty that he met a master. Today, it seems that Brother Mo is indeed quite capable."

Mo Xu just looked at him warily, not understanding what he meant.

Jiang Pan continued, "But if Brother Mo was a young master with a good background, he would not do such hard labor as cleaning the ground and guarding it."

Mo Xu looked at him unkindly, but did not deny it: "What do you mean by saying this? Just because I don't have a background, what can you do?"

Jiang Pan tried to find out the answer, seemed relieved, and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, Brother Mo misunderstood, that's not what I meant."

After hearing this, Mo Xu's tone softened a lot, and Xiu Xiu was no longer tense. "You sneaked up on me just to tell me this?"

Jiang Pan was silent for a moment, then he squeezed his palms and made a decision. He immediately raised his head and said, "Actually, seeing that Brother Mo is capable, I came here tonight to invite you to go treasure hunting with me."

"Huh? Treasure hunting?"

Mo Xu was completely surprised. What kind of development trajectory was this?

Hearing Mo Xu's confusion, Jiang Pan explained: "It's like this, I live in the south of the city, and the day before yesterday my dog ​​brought back half a dead branch from under a truck coming from the south of the city..."

"There is a very high-grade energy left on it."

Jiang Pan said this and took something out from behind. Mo Xu then realized that he was carrying a small bag on his back, and it was obvious that he came prepared.

Mo Xu took a look and saw that Jiang Pan was holding an ordinary dry branch, which looked like it would break if he squeezed it even a little.

Jiang Pan said: "It's very ordinary, right? But at that time there was indeed a very impressive energy, which has dissipated now."

Mo Xu had already put aside his guard and analyzed, "If what you feel is correct, then if such an ordinary dead branch can be stained with energy, then it means that this dead branch must have been in a place with higher-level energy."

"Yes," Jiang Pan agreed, and added: "When it came into my hands, the dead branch had been away from the energy source for a long time. According to my estimation, the level of the energy source must be above the heroic spirit level!"

"Heroic Spirit level!" Mo Xu was also shocked when he heard it. An environment filled with Heroic Spirit level energy is even rarer than a King level monster.

"My family has some secret methods that can track extraordinary energy," Jiang Pan said with some regret, "but I can only determine the approximate location, which is outside the south of the National Highway."

"South of the National Highway?"

In this world, cities and development zones have a complete protection system. The "protective shield" can protect the city's residents from attacks by wild monsters, but the coverage of the protective shield is limited. It does not completely cover the entire country, but can only protect urban areas.

Outside the cities, crisscrossing "national highways" connect various cities. These "national highways" ensure the dispatch and exchange of materials and personnel throughout the country and are the lifeline of the entire country.

The "city" and "national highway" are the homes rebuilt by humans after recovery, witnessing the diligence and wisdom of mankind. There are sentry towers responsible for security on the national highway. Outside the city and national highway is the "wilderness".

Outside the border of the entire country, there is an "uninhabited area" that is more dangerous than the wilderness within the country. Even a master would not dare to rashly cross the border to the uninhabited area.

Strong men would be organized to clean up the wild from time to time, but it still couldn't guarantee 100% safety. It was common sense in this world not to go to the wild casually, especially when one was weak.

"That means we're going into the wild." Mo Xu was a little hesitant. If he wanted to go treasure hunting in the wild, he had to consider the danger.

"Yes," Jiang Pan nodded, but added: "But it shouldn't be far, it should be about one kilometer outside the national highway. If it's too far, my family's secret method won't be found."

"One kilometer." Mo Xu thought. If it was only within one kilometer of the national highway, it would be fine. The closer to the city, the higher the safety factor. It was not impossible to go and take a look.

While thinking, Mo Xu said doubtfully: "But that's not right. According to what you said, if this place is so close, it should have been developed long ago..."

If there really was a treasured land of heroic spirit level close to the national highway, people would have expanded there long ago. They would not have left such a good thing lying around and wasted it.

Mo Xu was halfway through his speech when he suddenly thought of a possibility -

"Secret Realm?!"
