“Alright, I’ll leave this matter to you…”
“However, you’d better keep your mouth shut about today’s matter. Don’t leak it out. Don’t let Zhao Yu know that it was our plan. Otherwise, the consequences are not something that you and I can bear. Even our respective families…” Li Hao quickly added before taking his leave.
“I understand, I understand. It is impossible for us to provoke a lunatic like Zhao Yu…”
“At most, I’ll wait for the messenger to send the news to Li Tian Ba and make that person disappear…”
Blackstone Town was located at the southern end of the underground world. As a Tier 2 upper camp, the distribution of the surrounding beasts was basically all Tier 2.
The southern region was close to the edge of the world, and it was mainly inhabited by low-level and intermediate-level Second Tier beasts.
The northern region was dominated by intermediate and high level second tier beasts.
If they continued north for another thousand kilometers, they would enter a mixed region of Tier 2 and Tier 3 beasts. This place was beyond the tolerance of a Tier 2 upper camp.
Usually, the teams that traveled between these two regions were led by third tier low level experts. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to pass through this section of the road.
As for the place near the Tier 3 camp, there were Tier 3 beasts everywhere.
Li Tian Ba’s hunting area was located 500 kilometers north of Blackstone Town. This area was a mix of intermediate-level and high-level second-tier beasts, making it extremely dangerous. With the protection of the Wang family elite fighter, safety was ensured.
Generally, those like him had experts to help them improve their strength, such as severely injuring demonic beasts before handing them over to Li Tian Ba.
But Li Tian Ba was different. He had ambitions and wanted to carve a new path. During his hunts, he mostly relied on himself and only sought the assistance of his guards when faced with unbeatable beasts.
Li Tian Ba returned to his temporary camp outside Blackstone Town to rest after continuous hunting for few days.
“Boss, Hu Jun is here…”
“Hu Jun? Didn’t I tell him to stay in town and gather intelligence for me?!”
Li Tian Ba, standing at nine feet tall, had knotted muscles all over his body and a bald head with many scars running down his face from his head, making him look extremely fierce and adding to his intimidating presence.
“It seems he has important news to report to you…”
“Let him in!”
Li Tian Ba casually grabbed a piece of beast meat beside him and began to eat it in large bites.
Moments later, Hu Jun walked into the tent.
“Hu Jun. Is there something important?!”
Before Li Tian Ba could speak, one of his close aides asked.
Hu Jun stepped forward, knelt down, “Boss, I have important information to report…”
“A King Slayer rank five has risen in Blackstone Town…”
“Whoosh-!”
At that moment, a figure suddenly rushed up and kicked Hu Jun on the shoulder, sending him flying.
“Damn it, how many times have I told you not to mention old-timers in front of the boss? We are not old-timers; we are saviors…” The close aide from before cursed.
Hu Jun was startled, ignoring the pain in his body, and quickly knelt down again, “It’s my fault, please forgive me, boss…”
At this moment, Li Tian Ba, who was eating suddenly raised his head and turned around.
“You just said a rank five has risen?!”
“Yes, yes, this person’s name is Zhao Yu…”
Hu Jun glanced at Li Tian Ba before continuing, “He comes from the same realm as us…”
“Oh?!”
Li Tian Ba became interested and asked, “What’s his background? Which camp is he from?!”
He thought carefully and remembered that the most promising person when he left was someone named Xu Tian, from the West Camp.
As for Zhao Yu, he had never heard of him.
“What about Xu Tian? Has he come up?”
“No…”
Hu Jun shook his head and added, “Zhao Yu is from the same camp as us, the Zheng Nan Camp…”
“What?!”
Li Tian Ba was thinking it might be someone from another camp, but it turned out to be someone from their own camp?!
“Haha, the camp I was in is truly full of talents!”
Li Tian Ba then laughed heartily, seemingly pleased with his previous Camp.
“And Xu Tian?”
“Dead, reportedly killed by Zhao Yu…”
“Dead is dead…”
Li Tian Ba stroked his beard, “Since he’s a King Slayer Rank five, he must have great potential. It looks like we should recruit him…”
The other close aides nodded in agreement.
“Boss, with him joining us, we’ll have a better chance against the natives in the future…”
“That kid has some skills…”
Everyone present understood that while Li Tian Ba was indeed exceptionally talented, he was stuck at rank three and couldn’t break through, which led to his promotion.
Zhao Yu, they had never heard of him before they were promoted, and he was from the Zheng Nan Camp.
This meant that in four or five months, Zhao Yu had risen from zero tier to first tier, and then fought his way to rank five.
In terms of potential, he far surpassed Li Tian Ba.
“Boss, if you want to recruit Zhao Yu, there might be some issues…”
“What issues? Does he have a bad temper?!”
