Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

Bang——

The sky was covered with dense black clouds, colliding and interweaving.

Lightning sparked a storm, striking down wildly!

The tank-like Thunder Rock Alligator Turtle, without dodging or avoiding, walked slowly with lightning all over its body.

Before it even got close, its entire body was filled with thunderous blue light.

The blue lightning on its dark and shiny shell was so dense that it almost formed balls of lightning.

Fifth-rank and sixth-rank cultivators alike changed their expressions.

The Alligator Turtle drew closer and closer.

Approaching with the sharpness unique to thunder.

Step, step, step.

Arcs of electricity dissipated in the air, and everyone's hair began to float.

Huang San and the Boat Boss's faces changed again and again, turning ashen.

It's over!

We've become clowns!

It was foreseeable that today's events would be spread abroad.

People in the streets and alleys would laugh at them for questioning Tang Wen recklessly.

They had become foils.

Shui Qianjun, Hall Master Zhao, and Shi Lei perked up.

Shi Lei spoke quickly, "A seventh-rank taming a fifth-rank exotic beast, Young Master Tang Wen is indeed a genius!"

Hall Master Zhao glanced at Huang San's face, feeling particularly comfortable, "That's right! Spreading this matter will definitely be worthy of a mention in the Gushan City Chronicles. Someone, write down all of today's events, in detail, and give it to the storytellers in the city!"

Huang San and the Boat Boss's expressions were even more interesting.

They glared at Hall Master Zhao, who didn't care and even smiled at them.

The Huang family and the Boat Gang's people couldn't help but retreat quietly, both afraid of the thunder brought by the Alligator Turtle and afraid of becoming their bosses' punching bags.

Crack——

The thunderclouds piled up thicker and thicker, and the lightning flashed at a high frequency.

Illuminating the underground sky as if daylight had arrived!

The Thunder Rock Alligator Turtle came closer.

The Black Water Gang and Giant Rock Martial Hall's people also slowly retreated.

In front of Tang Wen, only a group of fifth-ranks remained.

Tang Wen looked at Huang San and the Boat Boss, saying indifferently, "Next, are you going to prove the strength of my Thunder Rock Alligator Turtle?"

The two men's faces completely crumbled.

Huang San frowned, pretending not to hear.

The Boat Boss's face flushed purple, his lips trembling for a long time, unable to say half a word.

The Alligator Turtle stopped thirty meters away.

The lightning on its body had accumulated to a terrifying degree.

The two didn't speak, and Tang Wen didn't plan to let them off. He took a step closer, and the Alligator Turtle also took a step, the severe and almost substantial lightning pointing directly at the two.

The Boat Boss completely broke down: "It turns out Young Master Tang has had other fortuitous encounters. Since that's the case, let's record these six fifth-rank spoils of war!"

"Wait!"

Tang Wen raised his hand.

The Boat Boss's brow furrowed, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes: Damn kid, what else do you want?!

Tang Wen pulled up Feng Sanniang: "Three of them were killed by Sanniang! Six fifth-ranks, we'll each record three."

Feng Sanniang's beautiful eyes shimmered with brilliance, and her heart felt extremely warm.

In the life-and-death trial, she followed along and did almost nothing. After a few days of kissing, she was already among the top ranks?

The Boat Boss secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded in agreement, and turned to look at Huang San.

Huang San cursed inwardly: What are you looking at me for? Can I not agree?

Boat Boss: We agreed to join forces to deal with the Black Water Gang and Tang Wen. I can't be the only one who's embarrassed, right?

Everyone's eyes were like torches, but Huang San stubbornly remained silent.

Shi Lei, never one to pass up a good show, said, "I understand what Master Huang San means. He must want to test the combat power of this fifth-rank Alligator Turtle, right?"

"I'm not, I didn't, Shi Lei, you bastard, don't talk nonsense!" Huang San quickly interrupted.

What a joke.

This Thunder Rock Alligator Turtle looked like it was at the peak of the fifth-rank.

And the Thunder Jade Mine was its home ground.

If he really fought, winning would be expected, but losing would be a huge setback!

Besides, what's the point of winning or losing against a beast?

Forced to this point, Huang San coughed and said, "I think we should do as Tang Wen says. I have something else to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."

He left in a dispirited manner.

Shi Lei laughed loudly.

Huang San suppressed the urge to turn around and fight, walking even faster.

When had he, the head of the Huang family, ever suffered such humiliation?

Damn it!

Old Nine deserves to die! With so many fifth-rank blood slaves under his command, he couldn't even kill a Tang Wen!

Shi Lei deserves to die even more!

Tang Wen especially deserves to die!

Don't rush, don't rush, three years east of the river, three years west of the river.

When I cultivate more blood slaves, I'll kill that turtle too...

With the troublemakers gone.

The registration went particularly smoothly.

The six fifth-ranks varied in strength.

The three stronger ones belonged to Tang Wen, and the weaker ones were recorded under Feng Sanniang's name.

They also divided up the achievements of several sixth-ranks and some extraordinary exotic beasts.

The temporary ranking for this trial was thus established.

Tang Wen was first, and Feng Sanniang was second.

It was said to be temporary, but everyone knew that the final ranking would be the same!

None of the families had fifth-rank Thunder Department experts inside, relying on the sixth-ranks to team up. Killing a fifth-rank exotic beast in the thundercloud-filled mining area might be possible.

Wanting to kill more would inevitably result in casualties.

For the sake of a trial, the death or injury of a sixth-rank was definitely not worth the loss.

Besides, three direct descendants teaming up could kill a fifth-rank exotic beast, but who should it be credited to after killing it?

Thinking about it, it was clear that Tang Wen and Feng Sanniang taking the top two spots was a certainty.

"Aren't you counting these three?"

Shi Lei personally wrote down the achievements, nodding towards the huge Armored Beasts.

Tang Wen shook his head and said, "I'll take these three back, taste the marrow, and make some armor."

Shi Lei didn't force it, wiggling his eyebrows and transmitting a reminder, "Don't forget about cultivating the Red Hummingbird! After it's done, I'll give you a building full of beauties!"

Tang Wen's heart stirred, but he felt that this guy wasn't sincere.

How big is a building?

Three floors, five floors, or ten floors?

Are the beauties standing in the building or lying in the building?

The key information wasn't clear, so he casually transmitted back, "Don't worry, I won't forget. But don't misunderstand, I'm not doing it for a building full of beauties. It's mainly that my Beast Taming Technique has improved again, you understand?"

"Understood, understood, understood! Brother Tang Wen, don't I know your character? Don't worry, besides beauties, there are other things. When the time comes, I'll take you to fleece our hall master! As long as you want it, as long as we have it! We'll get it all for you."

If it weren't for the secret negotiations, Shi Lei would have patted his chest to guarantee it.

Tang Wen smiled slightly at him, quite satisfied with his attitude.

The Thunder Rock Alligator Turtle walked out of the Thunder Jade Mine, and the lightning on its body gradually dissipated.

What was very magical was that as the Thunder Rock Alligator Turtle left the edge of the mining area and came to the barren, dry land.

The thunderclouds above its head seemed to sense it, not leaving this area, drifting back into the mining area.

Seeing Tang Wen constantly looking at the clouds and not coming to his side.

Shui Qianjun walked over, first nodding and smiling at Feng Sanniang, then looking at Tang Wen, "When I was young, the first time I saw this situation, I pondered it in my heart for a long time, always feeling that there was some big secret here."

"And then?" According to his knowledge from his previous life, Tang Wen knew that the movement of thunderclouds, besides being due to the wind, seemed to be related to the terrain and the like.

However, in this world, especially in the underground world in front of him, these common sense principles probably didn't apply.

"And then?"

Shui Qianjun looked at his disciple and suddenly smiled, "Later, I asked many people and didn't get an answer. So I ran to ask my master, your grandmaster. As a result, my master said I was too idle and not working hard enough at martial arts!"

Tang Wen: "Master, you're advising me to practice martial arts!"

"Haha, that's the idea. There are too many unsolved mysteries. You have to become strong first to be qualified to look for answers."

What else could Tang Wen say?

He had to drink this bowl of chicken soup.

Changing the subject, he told Shui Qianjun about his experiences underground.

When he got to the important points, he kept staring at Shui Qianjun's face.

"Huang family mass-producing fifth-ranks" "Fourth-rank Shadow Tiger"

"Huang family's underground secret blood pool was removed"

"..."

Shui Qianjun's head was spinning from hearing it. He understood that the matter was of great importance, and fearing that he couldn't hide the strangeness on his face, he used his right hand behind his back to pinch the soft flesh of his lower back hard!

Using the pain to divert his attention.

After finishing speaking.

Shui Qianjun secretly sucked in a cold breath, using too much force and breaking the skin. It might even be bleeding.

This kid, such a big matter, couldn't he have waited to return to the gang to talk about it?

Seeing that his master's face was as calm as a lake, showing no surprise at all, Tang Wen couldn't help but praise in a low voice, "Master, your ability to maintain composure is truly brilliant!"

Shui Qianjun's eyes flashed slightly, and he sighed slightly: Being able to suppress this kid is worth it.

After thinking it over and over again, he transmitted, "You must be careful when hunting down the Huang family's experts outside Gushan City. When you return to the gang, first find your senior sister to get detailed information about the Huang family. Don't blindly rush into it without knowing anything."

Tang Wen nodded, seeing his master's hesitant expression, and asked another question.

Shui Qianjun transmitted, "The Huang family's underground strength has already been cut off by you. If you kill their outer experts at this time, the remaining people of the Huang family will instead unite."

Huh?

Shui Qianjun continued; "It's better to kill the Boat Gang's people!

The Boat Gang has about twenty fifth-rank experts, both overt and covert.

Their main strongholds are distributed on the waterways.

The Boat Gang has major conflicts of interest with the Horse Gang and the Chamber of Commerce.

Feng Dajia has now followed you, and after the trial, she will likely become the vice president.

If you kill the Boat Gang's people, Feng Dajia can use the Chamber of Commerce's power to seize the Boat Gang's territory and interests.

The Horse Gang, seeing that there is profit to be made, will also pounce on it, and then other forces, including us, will also enter the fray.

The Boat Gang will collapse quickly, and if the Huang family can't even protect the Boat Gang, who will follow them in the future?"

Old ginger is spicier!

Tang Wen secretly admired: No wonder people outside say that the Black Water Gang is insidious.

I originally thought they were slandering, but I didn't expect it was praising my master!

He praised, "Master's brilliant plan will secure Mountain City!"

Hearing Tang Wen's admiration, Shui Qianjun couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth anymore.

Tang Wen then found Hu Li, and the two came to a secluded place and told her about their experiences these past few days.

This time, he saw a series of expressions of "surprise, astonishment, and shock" appear on Hu Li's usually cold face.

Hu Li had stayed underground for seven days and would continue to stay there.

Tang Wen left first. The Black Water Gang's elder underground provided him with a long mine cart to pull the three Armored Beasts.

Grumble rumble...

The dwarf horse, bred from high-level exotic beasts, used brute force to pull the mine cart up to the surface.

However, as it climbed, it began to doubt its horse life.

Today's mine cart only pulled three beast corpses, why was it heavier than pulling ore?

And what it couldn't see was that a huge Stone Dragon was lying on top of the three beast corpses.

Its weight alone was heavier than the three Armored Beasts combined!

Even though this dwarf horse was carefully selected by the Beast Tamer stationed underground to please Tang Wen, and was good enough to easily pull a cart and a half of ore.

When it encountered three Armored Beasts plus a fifth-rank Stone Dragon, climbing the slope was still difficult.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that it was difficult for the White Tiger to conceal its form while flying in the air with the Stone Dragon, Tang Wen wouldn't have needed to ride in a mine cart.

Having climbed less than a tenth of the way, the mixed-blood dwarf horse began to pant heavily.

The martial artist driving the cart was dumbfounded: He had promised several meals of wine in exchange for the opportunity to drive the cart for Young Master Tang Wen, but where had he gotten to? The horse was useless? If the young master blamed him, where would he go to reason?

Tang Wen and Feng Sanniang also noticed the problem.

Feng Sanniang was about to take action when she suddenly heard a voice transmission in her ear: "Hu 21 will control the weight, don't worry."

The next second, the mixed-blood dwarf horse's hooves became lighter, and the speed suddenly increased by half.

The martial artist driving the cart: ?!

Not to mention that he didn't understand, even the mixed-blood horse pulling the cart was dumbfounded.

How? How did the cart suddenly become lighter?

Hu 21 secretly manipulated the wind power, sharing 90% of the mine cart's weight.

If someone were lying under the cart to look, they would find that the steel wheels were only slightly stuck on the track, showing extreme smoothness.

It was as if a child was riding a tricycle to pull something, and the parents behind were almost lifting up the two rear wheels. Of course, it wouldn't be difficult for the child to pedal.

Tang Wen saw the confusion of the man and the horse, and deliberately said, "The cart is driven well, there will be a reward when you get up there."

The martial artist driving the cart became energetic upon hearing this, thanked him, and secretly prayed that the mixed-blood horse wouldn't cause any more trouble.

With the hidden protection of Hu 21, Tang Wen and his group arrived at the surface an hour earlier than expected.

In the winter afternoon, the golden light barely penetrated the dark clouds and scattered faintly.

Tang Wen looked up at the sky, stretched his muscles, and let out a long sigh of relief.

The haze that had accumulated underground dissipated with his breath.

"Young Master is back!"

Returning to the mansion, a maid shouted.

Tang Wen thought someone would come to greet him.

Even if Zhou Bing and Xia Qingge were in seclusion, and Shui Yun was handling gang affairs.

The female housekeeper Shui Mo or the personal guard captain Liang Yu would always come.

As a result, no one came.

After asking the maid who was temporarily managing the house, he learned that these five were actually all in seclusion.

It was currently winter, and there were fewer things to do.

Shui Yun was also free, and Shui Mo and Liang Yu had long been stuck at the peak of martial artists, so they simply took this time to break through.

After handing over the corpses of the three Armored Beasts to the kitchen, Tang Wen and Feng Sanniang brought the Stone Dragon and the Alligator Turtle to the garden.

It was pitiful that the two fifth-ranks had cultivated to such a realm, yet had never seen so much green vegetation.

The Thunder Rock Alligator Turtle excitedly opened its mouth, wanting to unleash a thunder baptism, but Tang Wen stopped it in time.

So it and the Stone Dragon opened their mouths in unison and began to eat the flowers and plants.

Tang Wen's family was big and wealthy, backed by many plump thighs, and didn't care about a few acres of garden, so he left it to them to spoil as they pleased.

The maids were placed under a strict gag order.

They were arranged by Shui Yun, came from good families, and their entire family's lives were in Shui Yun's hands. Naturally, they wouldn't go out and talk nonsense.

Back in the room, the maids lit the stove and incense burner, and served tea, snacks, and wine, a dazzling array that filled the entire table.

Hu Yun took off her Moon Walker outfit, revealing herself along with the three large cats that were hanging on her.

Tang Wen walked in with Feng San Niang, and before they could even sit down,

they heard Hu Yun say, "Let's rest for a bit, then set off tonight!"

The two were stunned, realizing she was talking about killing the Huang family's Fifth Rank expert.

"So urgent?" Tang Wen asked, surprised.

Hu Yun was also surprised, "Time is of the essence! Your trial is ending in just seven or eight days."

Tang Wen then explained Shui Qianjun's plan to the two women.

Feng San Niang strongly agreed, and Hu Yun had no objections.

To her, it didn't make much difference who they killed first.

As a direct disciple of the merchant guild and the manager of the Spring Breeze Pavilion,

Feng San Niang also had some hidden agents who specialized in collecting information.

She went back to retrieve intelligence maps of the various families around Gushan City.

Spreading it out, they saw that the boat gang occupied the waterways, developing eastward from Gushan City, with a large river running through thousands of miles of rivers and lakes.

There were many docks and cities along the way.

Hu Yun pointed to the closest location to Gushan City, "If we go now, we can kill them all before dark!"

Feng San Niang: Kill them all?

Tang Wen covered his forehead: "...We're supposed to be assassinating."

Hu Yun extended her slender index finger: "That's right, killing them all is the best kind of assassination!"
