However, these deaths did not scare the mercenaries who valued money more than their lives.
Instead, it made these two beasts even more popular and expensive.
And this was only the periphery of the Beast Taming Forest. If they went deeper, would they also encounter a ferocious beast like Qiong Qi?
Or were they beasts that were social and could communicate like the Forest Elves?
These were all points that Zhuge Qing was curious about.
Thinking of this, he looked at Xing Rong and Gu Yunfan, who was driving in front, and tried to invite them.
After briefly describing his exploration plan of the Beast Taming World, Zhuge Qing waited for their answers.
“I am alright with joining.”
“There’s nothing much to do anyway. Maybe we can find more of those energy fruits in the forest. This way, Nethery’s strength can increase faster. Those fruits are too expensive now!”
The Energy Fruit was the wine-making fruit Marvin’s group had found. Drinking it could temporarily increase one’s strength.
If this fruit was directly eaten by tamed beasts, it would not only temporarily increase their strength, but it could also replace crystal cores.
From the looks of it, ordinary fruits were probably only comparable to one-third of a Level 1 crystal core. However, this kind of energy fruit was very popular at a time when crystal cores were difficult to buy.
The price was 200 credits per fruit. Marvin had already made a fortune.
Otherwise, why would he think of opening a branch at the new competition venue?
As for Gu Yunfan, he was looking at the yellow sand in front of him, thinking about something.
However, he did not reject it immediately.
“I can’t give you an answer to this immediately. If I still don’t gain anything from going to the Royal City this time, I might set off to the forest with you to take a look. I can’t be careless with the second beast, but I don’t want to drag it out for too long.”
Zhuge Qing nodded in understanding.
“By the way, are you all going to watch tomorrow’s competition?”
“Of course I have to go. After all, the strength of Vice-President Yang’s beasts can’t be underestimated. I’m very curious if his Mysterious Ice Turtle and the Sludge Giant Crocodile can compete with Tang Tian’s two dragons.”
Speaking of this, Zhuge Qing also became excited.
After all, no matter how smart and mature he was, he was still a young man.
“They fought before, but at that time, it seemed like neither side used much strength.”
“In the end, Yang Wei was the first to admit defeat, but I feel that he has many trump cards.”
Gu Yunfan also nodded.
“Yes, I saw that Vice-President Yang’s two beasts did not use many skills.”
“Why didn’t it?”
Xing Rong, who didn’t care much about the competition, asked curiously.
After all, this kind of thing was indeed strange.
“Because he thinks that even if he loses this competition, he can still fight from the loser group to the finals.”
“In fact, Vice-President Yang has indeed done it.”
“Those two big guys are really not easy to deal with.”
Although Gu Yunfan had never fought with Yang Wei’s beasts, he had watched him compete many times.
In any case, his Forest Flood Dragon really couldn’t deal with those two big guys.
Especially the Mysterious Ice Turtle.
Just as the three of them were chatting happily, Wang Zhen’s voice came from the Beast Taming Index.
“There’s a city ahead. Eh… it looks a little familiar?!”
“Could it be the Royal City?”
“I don’t know. Anyway, there are quite a few people outside the city.”
“Then drive over and take a look.”
The three cars drove forward.
However, when he was a few hundred meters away from the city, he was stopped by a pair of… uh… kobolds riding wolves.
“Stop, you are not allowed to ride without a pass!”
“Uh… Hello, I…”
Wang Zhen, who was at the front, had just gotten out of the car. Before he could finish speaking, he saw the Kobold who had just walked over reveal a surprised expression.
“You’re humans?!”
Seeing the other party’s expression change so quickly, Wang Zhen was very puzzled.
Why were the people in the Royal City so surprised by humans?
Could it be that there were humans in the capital?
“What happened?”
Zhuge Qing alighted from the car behind.
Wang Zhen, who did not understand these twists and turns, handed the matter to Zhuge Qing to handle.
“You tell them.”
“Hello, we’re humans from… uh… the grassland. We’re here mainly to find some… um… pets.”
He did not know if these beasts could understand the concept of “tamed beasts”, so Zhuge Qing did not mention tamed beasts.
Moreover, if the other party misunderstood and thought that they came with hostility, it would be troublesome.
After hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, the soldier-like Kobold took out a yellow conch-like object from his waist and whispered a few words to Conch before looking at Zhuge Qing and the others.
“Wait here for a moment. In a while, our Prince will personally come and negotiate with you.”
“Prince?!”
Zhuge Qing was shocked.
Although he didn’t know the specific meaning of this “job”, it shouldn’t be low, right?
“Yes, His Highness the Prince is in charge of the external affairs of the Royal City.”
“To the outside world? Are there other… er… other countries aside from the desert?”
Looking at this somewhat ignorant human, the dog-headed guard captain was a little surprised. However, when he thought about how these people had only existed in the stories passed down by word of mouth on the desert and the murals carved on the walls for generations, he could understand why these humans were unfamiliar with the desert.
“Yes, after walking east for a few days, we will reach the territory of the Yellow Sand Empire. They… look very similar to you, but their skin color is much darker.”
“At first, we thought they were humans, too, but then they said they weren’t, but they are definitely descendants of humans.”
Um…
Zhuge Qing was confused by his words.
However, after thinking about it, he could understand.
In other words, the Yellow Sand Empire was an existence similar to the Snow Mountain Race.
A humanoid that looked like a human…
After rounding it up, they are still humans…
In any case, from the outside, Zhuge Qing could not tell that the people from the Snow Mountain Clan were different from them.
If not for the fact that the Beast Taming Index could indeed identify their information, the difference would really be 0.
“Do you have a lot of interactions with the Yellow Sand Empire?”
“Not much.”
Just as Zhuge Qing was about to ask more questions, he heard a rather hurried voice coming from ahead.
A group of soldiers in gorgeous armor escorted a carriage pulled by six giant yellow wolves to Zhuge Qing.
Then, a cat beastman alighted from the carriage?!
“Hello, I’m the Prince of the Royal City, Kai.”
Looking at the man with cat-like eyes, beard, mouth, and ears on his head, Zhuge Qing was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses.
“Zhuge Qing, the captain of the team.”
“You said that you came from the grassland. Is it the grassland in the west?”
Zhuge Qing recalled the location and nodded.
“Then… then do you know about… planes?”
“Huh?!”
It was Zhuge Qing’s turn to be surprised.
“Airplanes?”
Kai nodded.
Looking at Zhuge Qing’s expression, he knew that these people definitely knew about the “plane”.
“It would appear that you all are not only from the grasslands, but also from… that legendary world?!”
“Uh… pardon me for asking, but how do you know all this?”
Zhuge Qing was really curious.
The natives of the Beast Taming World actually knew about the existence of planes.
“Because our ancestors are from your human world.”
“I’m not sure about the exact situation either. After all, it’s been a long time, but the books left behind do say so. We also know about the plane from the books. It’s said that it can bring many people into the sky, and we don’t have to be afraid of the big birds in the sky.”
As he spoke, the prince looked up at the sky with a look of longing.
“By the way, can I invite all of you in?”
Hearing this, Zhuge Qing nodded.
“Of course, sure.”
“Everyone, follow me. By the way, that black metal box, is it… a car?”
