Monster Paradise - Chapter 123

It was a sunny day on the 2nd of September in Baqi City. The Demonic Crystal Spaceship landed on central plaza at 10 in the morning. Other Demonic Crystal Spaceships that took different routes docked at the same place too.

After scanning their tickets, Lin Huang and Yin Hangyi boarded the spaceship. They were staying on different floors, Lin Huang on sixth floor while Yin Hangyi on the eighth floor. However, Fatty loved Lin Huang’s company. Besides sleeping, he spent most of the time in Lin Huang’s room.

"Hey Fatty, have you ever thought of inheriting your dad’s hotel one day?" Lin Huang was annoyed.

"The food ordinary chefs handle are limited. If I became a Food Hunter, I will make even more delicious food. That’s my desire in the food industry." Fatty explained, "Besides, I hope that I could do even better than my dad which is why he supports me fully in becoming a Food Hunter."

"What about you, why do you want to be a hunter?" Fatty asked him back.

"I’m not a fan of placing my fate in someone else’s hands. It’s not 100% safe in the foothold, even grade-C ones that has a Transcendent as their guardian. After all, Transcendent are still human beings, they too make mistakes, they too could die in battles. Instead of putting my life in a Transcendent’s hand, I would rather take control of my own life. That’s why I aspire to be stronger so that I could protect myself as well as the people around me." Lin Huang spoke with passion and then thought again, there was a deeper reason why he desired to be strong.

"It’s not all about insecurity. I would love to see how big this world is. Before I become a Transcendent, I am confined to explore only within the safety zone. Not only I would like to discover other safe zones, I would also like to see the world outside those safety zones, those areas yet to be explored by humans since the new epoch…"

"What’s wrong with you, I’d rather spend all my life in the safety zone than to go anywhere chaotic. About exploring the yet to be discovered, I would let someone else do it." Fatty crossed his hands.

Lin Huang laughed and thought that what he said made him look ambitious.

It took them 11 days to travel in the Demonic Crystal Spaceship and finally they arrived at their destination - No.7C29 foothold Fog City. Fog City was 1,200 kilometers from the Fog Canyon, which was the nearest foothold with people from the canyon. It was September 13th at four o’clock in the afternoon when the Demonic Crystal Spaceship in Fog City. Lin Huang and Yin Hangyi got off the spaceship and checked into a hotel together.

"There’s a grade-3 wild zone along the way to the Fog Canyon. It would be dangerous if just the both of us went, I will get a team from Adventurer Paradise." Fatty said this after completing the hotel registration but Lin Huang did not say anything. He could just get white eagle with purple eyes to bring the both of them there but he did not want to reveal his true ability. The adventurers of white silver-level and gold-level in Adventurer Paradise were willing to bring people along with them not because of money. It was a service provided by the Adventurer Paradise that on missions every now and then, they could bring other hunters of lower level along to give them good exposure as part of their recruitment drive so that they will consider joining the club in future.

10 minutes later, Fatty called Lin Huang on his communication device. Lin Huang picked up thinking it was strange, "What’s wrong?"

"I have found a team, they are departing now. They are in a rush, come and meet us at the east gate!" Fatty hung up the phone without waiting for Lin Huang to respond. He thought it was strange as there was no need for Fatty to rush since there were a couple of adventurers who would team up with other people into the Fog Canyon everyday. The sun was setting, if they were to depart now, the both of them would have to stay a night in Fog Canyon on their own.

Lin Huang got out of the hotel right away and rode on green scaled wolf to the east gate. When he arrived, he saw fatty and three other white silver-level adventurers from afar riding on their monster seats while Fatty was standing. He did not look too good.

"What is this about, Fatty?" Lin Huang frowned and asked.

Hearing Lin Huang’s voice, all of them turned around and looked at him.

"You sure are slow, can we leave now?" The leader was dark and skinny. He glared at Lin Huang then pulled the rope on his monster and left. The other two adventurers followed him. The one in the was slightly bald while the last adventurer looked younger. He had a goatee, he then yelled at Fatty, "Since your friend has a monster seat, you don’t have to share with us anymore."

Lin Huang pulled Fatty onto the green scaled wolf and asked while frowning, "What exactly happened?"

"Stop asking, let’s go." Fatty sat behind Lin Huang, he shook his head helplessly.

Lin Huang then patted green scaled wolf and chased after the adventurers. Three of them were white silver-level adventurers riding on ground rhino, a bronze-level monster. It was a common monster seat, it was not fast but it sure did have high tolerance.

The three adventurers were riding a cheap transport as the price of ground rhino was much cheaper than a green scaled wolf. They were probably jealous and left right after they saw Lin Huang on a green scaled wolf.

"You said you’re poor, then how did you afford a green scaled wolf as your monster seat! The price of this monster seat is comparable with white silver-level equipment." Fatty finally got over being mad at Lin Huang.

Lin Huang did not tell him that it was his summoning monster so he pulled a fast one, "I was lucky that day, bought it at a cheap price."

"How much?" Fatty was genuinely asking.

"Cost one bronze-level equipment." Lin Huang lied again. Not only did Fatty buy what he said, so did the three white silver-level adventurers as well.

They did not look too happy as they traded in two bronze-level equipment to get the ground rhino. A green scaled wolf costed at least one white silver-level equipment but Lin Huang got it at a much cheaper price.

"Young man, I will buy your green scaled wolf for two bronze-level equipment." The man with goatee shouted.

"I’m not selling it." Lin Huang declined without even thinking.

The man with goatee glared at Lin Huang. Although Lin Huang did not know what exactly happened before he came, he did notice Fatty was silent during the entire journey. He figured something must have happened involving these three men, probably Fatty was threatened.

They could have arrived at Fog Canyon in an hour but now Fatty found a team who did not have a flying seat like Lin Huang did causing a delay in the journey for more than eight hours. Lin Huang was upset.

Fortunately, the three adventurers did what they were supposed to do. They killed all the monsters in their way. However, they left no dead bodies behind and kept all of them in their space storages. They must be really broke. Fatty seemed to be more and more uncomfortable. The strongest one among the three was the dark and skinny man. He was a white silver-level rank-2 while the other two were white silver-level rank-1. Lin Huang just had to summon Charcoal, Bai or Tyrant, and killing them would be a piece of cake.

After traveling for more than six hours, the dark, skinny leader suddenly slowed down.

"It’s the grade-3 wild zone ahead; we will have to walk across without our monster seats to avoid catching the attention of the monsters in the wild zone."

Lin Huang was shocked that they wanted to be ’careful’ in the grade-3 wild zone. White silver-level adventurers should fear of monsters in the grade-3 wild zones.

Since the three of them kept their monster seats, fatty patted Lin Huang’s back, "Let’s keep it." Lin Huang then kept his green scaled wolf into his space storage. There was really no difference whether he keeps the green scaled wolf or not because its footsteps were lighter than that of humans. On the other hand, the ground rhinos were loud on the road. But he figured that it would be rude if he rode on green scaled wolf while the rest walked.

"It is more than 300 kilometers, do we have to walk?" Even if they ran, with Lin Huang and Fatty’s speed of iron-level coupled with the distance would take them at least seven more hours.

"You guys can ride on your green scaled wolf, don’t ask for help if monsters attack the both of you." The dark and skinny man glared at Lin Huang.

"Lin Huang, it’s okay, we will run over there. It’s too dangerous to be here and alone." Fatty advised.

Since it was fatty who asked for help from the team, Lin Huang did not want to embarrass him so he agreed but he was definitely irritated, "Let’s go then."

The three adventurers together with Lin Huang and fatty ran at 50 kilometers per hour. Fatty was panting heavily after running for two hours.

"Fatty, if you can’t take it, you can ride on green scaled wolf." Lin Huang suggested.

"I’m okay…" Fatty waved his hand.

Three hours later, Fatty was slowing down. Lin Huang got him to ride on the green scaled wolf’s back while he ran with the other three. Soon another three hours passed, they had finally passed the grade-3 will zone and arrived at the canyon. They were covered by the thin fog at the mouth of the canyon. Fatty got down from the green scaled wolf and thanked the other three adventurers. "Why are you thanking us? You haven’t paid us yet, three Life Crystals please." The dark and skinny man grinned at Lin Huang and Fatty while the other two adventurers stood behind them, blocking their way.
