Chapter 1798: Chapter 1534: The Forest of 10,000 Beasts Becomes Lively (Two-in-One)_2

Uncle Yu nodded, then left the royal palace, soaring into the sky and disappearing from sight.

"Have you found out?"

After Uncle Yu disappeared, the entire royal palace fell into silence. The Human Emperor got up, walked to the window, as if talking to himself, or perhaps speaking to someone else.

"Your Majesty, I have investigated clearly. The current God Race is overwhelmed and has no time for diplomacy. Even Amu God King is unaware of this diplomatic affair. This Divine Domain envoy is more likely than not a fake."

A voice hidden in the darkness conveyed information truthfully to the Human Emperor, "As far as I know, this Uncle Yu was merely a condemned prisoner. As for how he escaped, there’s no way to verify that."

"A condemned prisoner?"

The Human Emperor felt his temple pulsing, having served him good food and drink for days, only to find out he was a condemned prisoner. If this got out, wouldn’t it be laughable?

Outrageous!

"Uncle Yu, what a daring Uncle Yu, to deceive even me! Such audacity!"

The Human Emperor’s anger flared up, his expression showing his wrath. He clenched his right hand tightly, and two top-grade glazed beads instantly shattered into powder, falling from between his fingers, showing how intense the Human Emperor’s rage was.

After a while, the anger in the Human Emperor’s heart gradually subsided. He gazed out the window, his thoughts unknown.

"Let this matter end here, make sure not to spread it!"

"Understood, Your Majesty."

"I’m tired. If there’s nothing else, you may leave."

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to report."

"Speak."

"It seems Uncle Yu has a particular interest in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts. From his proactive request, one can tell there’s something in that forest attracting him, maybe that demonic beast."

"Hmm?"

The Human Emperor’s eyes lit up, following this line of thought, "You mean he is very likely to go to the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts?"

"This is just my speculation. The rest requires Your Majesty’s decision."

"Hahaha, this is wonderful news! Issue an order, the hunting tournament will be held in advance! I will personally host it!"

"Yes!"

...

"Ding! Special plot triggered, the hunting tournament will start early, please get ready, contestants! Please activate your participant tokens in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts. The number of monsters killed will accumulate points on the token, killing the demon beast BOSS will award points corresponding to its rank. If a player dies, the token disappears, and the killer will gain the corresponding points. Remember, leaving the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts or cheating will result in disqualification!"

The system notification sounded ten times in a row, bewildering the players.

"What’s going on? How can the event start early?"

"Are you kidding me? I’m still stuck in a dungeon, how do I get out?"

"Damn, my gear just exploded, and now the hunting event starts. It’s deliberately making it hard for me!"

"Hey, do you think there’s a connection between the early start of the hunting tournament and the hullabaloo about the super BOSS?"

"You mean the BOSS that instantly killed Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained? Hmm, it’s possible!"

"Oh no, the thing about the BOSS is most likely true!"

"Haha, we’re lucky, our team is already in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, and our tokens are activated. Let’s go kill some monsters now, while no one is here to earn more points!"

"I don’t know why you’re so happy, do you have enough potions? Leaving here means losing qualification!"

"Damn, I forgot about that!"

The players fell into chaos, their plans disrupted by the event’s early start, especially those still in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts. Now they couldn’t think of leaving until the event was over.

With the early start of the hunting tournament, the going rate for the BOSS coordinates rose accordingly, but unfortunately for the white-haired young man, no fish had bitten yet. It made him a bit anxious, sighing inwardly that nowadays people are becoming shrewd, making it hard to fool anyone!

"Brother, did we set the price for the coordinates too high? At first, people were asking about the price; now, not a single inquiry!"

The sharp-nosed and monkey-cheeked player, spurred by the excitement of the hunting tournament, was quite impatient, urging, "Brother, if nothing else works, sell it dirt cheap. Profit is profit, don’t miss out on the tournament!"

"You’re always so hasty. We’re just solo players joining the tournament to make up the numbers. Didn’t you see you can earn points by killing players too? If you want to die, go ahead, no one’s stopping you!"

The white-haired young man had seen through this, and wasn’t bothered about the event at all. Instead of risking his life, he preferred to stay put, maybe catch a big fish!

"It’s like Jiang Taigong fishing, the willing will take the bait!"

"Brother, haven’t you checked the event guide? Participants can choose between safe mode and competitive mode. In safe mode, players don’t have to worry about being attacked by others. The only downside is you can’t form a team, adventure solo only. Points can be exchanged with the Human Emperor for equipment and items, even Experience Pills. This event is pretty generous!"

"Safe mode? Then what’s there to fear? Just rampage through the forest, with the system’s protection, no worries about dying. Can’t team up? No biggie!"

The white-haired young man was instantly motivated, "We three can work together, as long as we avoid hitting each other, won’t the points pile up easily?"

"Brother, you’re oversimplifying. Safe mode only shields against players, wild monsters can still harm you. If a player leads a mob to attack you, you’d die just the same. That’s the downside of not being able to team up."

"Damn, with so many restrictions, what’s the point of playing!"

"No worries, we’re not aiming for ranks. As long as we don’t provoke those big guild players, nothing to worry about. Plus, the event offers lots of good stuff. It’d be a shame not to participate."

As the two chatted, a group of about twenty approached. Heading them was a player clad in black armor and wearing a fine iron helm. If Su Ran were here, he would certainly recognize this person as the wealthy scion who had interacted with him in the martial arts tournament, Freedom Page!

This player’s game character was not particularly impressive, so he wasn’t known by many. However, when you mentioned his real-life identity, it was almost as well-known as Wang Si’er, basking in glory.

Indeed, he was Wei Chen, director of the Wei Group, one of the nation’s top hundred enterprises!

"Brother, we have a fish biting. Whether this deal works out depends on you!"

The sharp-nosed and monkey-cheeked player, seeing the swagger in Freedom Page’s step, guessed this kid was either a second-generation rich or a nouveau riche!

The white-haired young man adjusted his attire, discreetly gave a hint to his two subordinates, and then, feigning nonchalance, paid no attention to Freedom Page, loudly shouting, "For sale, for sale!"

"Hey buddy, what are you selling? Why not set up a stall in the market?"

Freedom Page smiled, exuding a warmth like a spring breeze, incredibly sunny.

"Not to laugh at me, I’m selling a BOSS’s coordinates, can’t set up a stall for it. It’s crowded in the safe zone, trying my luck here, but I’ve been standing for over an hour without a sale."

The white-haired young man sighed, speaking with what he deemed a sincere tone, "If it weren’t for this BOSS being too unique, I wouldn’t be bothering with this!"

"Unique? In what way?"

Freedom Page, having heard of this BOSS’s might, was intrigued. But since they were rumors, he’d taken them with a grain of salt.

"The three of us witnessed Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained challenging this BOSS, but he couldn’t even last three rounds before being instantly killed. We were scared out of our wits and recalled back to town. Even now, my heart races just thinking about it!"

The white-haired young man spoke vaguely, fearful of divulging critical information. Want to know? Pay up!

"Mere words aren’t enough. Do you have proof?"

Freedom Page’s interest was piqued. Having once lost to Su Ran, he had long harbored that resentment. Now he saw an opportunity: defeating this BOSS would indirectly be a victory over Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, wouldn’t it?

This BOSS, absolutely a chance not to be missed!
