Chapter 122: Chapter 122 - Yu Huang, the Group Pet

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ge Meng, Eliza, and the others, who were hiding under the distant tree, were all dumbfounded.

Gulli pinched his thigh and grabbed his brother’s arm. He muttered in shock, “My dear mother, did this girl… did she eat the female leopard?”

Otherwise, why would the female leopard’s wings move to Yu Huang’s body?

Ge Meng was also shocked, and the gaze he used to look at Yu Huang became filled with astonishment and shock. “She’s actually still alive. Could it be that she defeated that Plum Leopard?!”

That was a level 6 demonic beast. As an early-stage Beast Tamer, how could she defeat that female leopard?!

Ge Meng could not figure it out, so he looked at Yu Huang with admiration.

Eliza also recognized Yu Huang. Wasn’t this the young lady she had seen in the mercenary trading hall half a month ago?

That day, when she saw that Yu Huang was weak and easy to bully, she was worried that Yu Huang would be bullied. In the end, she actually killed a Rank 4 brown bear!

Who could bully her when she was so fierce?

The commotion caused by these people’s words naturally attracted Yu Huang’s attention, but Yu Huang did not take them seriously.

Yu Huang took out a sharp dagger and pierced through the brown bear’s tough iron armor with one strike. She dug out its heart and rummaged through its body. She clicked her tongue in disinterest after failing to find the Monster Core.

Yu Huang suddenly turned around and asked in the direction of Ge Meng and the others, “Do any of you know how to skin beasts?”

The forest was silent for a moment before more than twenty adults walked out.

Yu Huang was not surprised to see the Ge Meng brothers in the crowd. Her hearing was excellent, and she had long identified the brothers. However, when she saw the female captain of the newly appointed Eliza Mercenary Group, Yu Huang’s expression was slightly surprised.

She recognized Eliza.

Because Eliza was the first woman in Rakshasa Empire to show kindness to Yu Huang, Yu Huang had an impression of her.

“What a coincidence. We meet again,” Yu Huang said to Eliza.

She didn’t expect Yu Huang to still remember her. Eliza was flattered.

“We meet again.” Eliza stared at the knife that was still bleeding in Yu Huang’s hand with a complicated expression. “It seems like you’ve adapted quite well here.” It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that she was at the top of her game.

Yu Huang glanced at the Ge Meng brothers and said with a half-hearted smile, “If you are not used to the law of the jungle, you will be swallowed by the jungle.” She was hinting at the way the Ge Meng brothers abandoned her and escaped that day.

Ge Meng could tell what she was hinting at and he was embarrassed.

Gulli blushed and did not dare to look up at Yu Huang.

Yu Huang waved the dagger in her hand at Gulli and asked, “Do you know how to skin it?”

Gulli nodded. “Yes!”

“Then please help me.” Yu Huang threw the knife at Gulli.

She threw the knife at him so quickly and violently that Gulli almost couldn’t catch it. It was only when Gullan reached out in time that he grabbed the handle of the knife.

When he grabbed the hilt, the sharp and cold blade was hanging in front of Gulli’s throat.

Gulli looked down at the silver sword blade and swallowed hard. His heart almost stopped.

Yu Huang really wanted to kill him just now!

No matter how dim-witted Gulli was, he knew that Yu Huang was angry.

That day, Yu Huang was pursued by the Plum Leopard, and the two of them didn’t appear in time to help Yu Huang. They were heartless.

Therefore, Yu Huang was demonstrating her prowess with this strike.

Gulli felt guilty. Thus, even though he had almost had his throat slit by Yu Huang, he did not dare to get angry.

Ge Meng passed the dagger to Gulli before walking calmly to Yu Huang.

Ge Meng bowed to Yu Huang and explained with a sincere attitude. “Miss Wu Huang, we were indeed afraid of death, so we were unable to make an appearance in time to assist you in killing the Plum Leopard.”

They admitted that they were afraid of death.

“However, after we settled the corpses of our bros, we also turned around to look for you. We searched for you in the periphery of the abyss for three days but never found you. Only then did we return to the city.”

Yu Huang was only a newcomer who had just joined the Sharks Mercenary Corps. She was not important enough for the Ge Meng brothers to risk their lives to enter the middle of the forest to rescue her.

“You can blame us brothers for being greedy, afraid of death, and heartless, but who among the people of Rakshasa Empire is not heartless? Besides, this is a world where the weak are prey to the strong. Survival depends on capability, but death is fate.”

Ge Meng was indeed cold and heartless, but he was also frank and sincere.

After Yu Huang heard Ge Meng’s explanation, the coldness in her eyes faded a little. She ignored Ge Meng and only said to Gulli, “Can you help me peel this bear skin completely?”

Gulli nodded vigorously. “No problem!”

Gulli hurried over and placed his foot on the brown bear’s stomach. He bent down and started peeling it.

Throughout the entire process, Gulli did not dare to look at Yu Huang. The last bit of affection he had for Yu Huang had been completely destroyed by Yu Huang’s saber move.

Gulli clearly understood that Yu Huang was a woman he couldn’t obtain.

Gulli peeled off the bear’s skin completely. He said to Yu Huang, “This thing is too bloody. When we get back, we have to soak it in medicine water to use.”

Yu Huang nodded to indicate that she understood.

At that moment, Eliza walked over with a group of women.

She stared at the little duck on Yu Huang’s shoulder and exclaimed in surprise, “So you’re a Beast Tamer.”

Yu Huang extended her right hand towards Eliza. She said, “I’m Wu Huang.”

Eliza took her hand. “My name is Eve, but you can call me Eliza.”

After introducing herself, Eliza sent an invitation to Yu Huang to join the group on the spot. “Miss Wu Huang, you’re very impressive. I wonder if you’re willing to join our Eliza Mercenary Group?”

As she spoke, Eliza glanced at the Ge Meng brothers. She told Yu Huang, “Our entire team is made up of women. If you join our team, it will be much more comfortable than staying in the Sharks Mercenary Group.”

Yu Huang waved her hand. “Thank you for your kindness, but I reject it.”

Eliza was naturally unwilling to accept Yu Huang’s rejection.

Yu Huang was able to kill this Rank 4 Brown Bear by herself. Even if she was only a low-level Beast Tamer, it was still worth currying favor with.

Eliza gritted her teeth and said, “I can let you be the deputy regiment.” This was her greatest sincere compromise.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the women behind Eliza changed. They looked at Yu Huang with eyes filled with hostility.

Yu Huang shrugged. “I’m not interested.”

When Eliza saw that Yu Huang was unmoved, she was both dejected and angry, but she couldn’t do anything to Yu Huang.

Ge Meng couldn’t help but feel delighted when he saw that Eliza was unable to persuade Yu Huang. He also said sincerely, “Miss Wu Huang, if you’re willing, you can continue to stay in the Sharks Mercenary Group. I can give you the position of the deputy regiment.”

Upon hearing this, Gulli widened his eyes and looked at his brother without saying a word.

Gulli admired people with abilities. Yu Huang was more capable than them. Not to mention being a vice-captain of the Sharks Mercenary Group, but she could even be the captain.

However, Yu Huang still refused. “I’m not interested in joining your mercenary group.” She had joined the mercenary group before because she was not familiar with the rules of hunting demon beasts. Now that she had killed a few demon beasts, she had some experience and insights.

The current her really didn’t need to mingle with these mercenary groups.

Moreover, she had come to the Rakshasa Empire to gain experience. Since it was a form of training, it was naturally filled with challenges.

Hunting ordinary-level demon beasts was already unable to satisfy Yu Huang’s needs. Yu Huang needed to go to the middle-level circle and challenge those more powerful demon beasts.

Seeing that Yu Huang was really unmoved by their suggestion, Ge Meng’s eyes darkened slightly as he hinted to Yu Huang, “Miss Wu Huang, in the Rakshasa Empire, it’s very difficult to survive alone. I know that you’re very strong, but you have to understand that there is always someone better than you. There will always be Beast Tamers stronger than you.”

“Join us and we’ll stick together. It’s safer than you fighting alone.”

Yu Huang was getting impatient. She stared at Ge Meng coldly and asked him with a sneer, “Is it really safe to team up with you guys? I still remember how Commander Ge Meng was generous enough to only protect his younger brother and not his teammates that day!”

Ge Meng’s expression darkened and he immediately fell silent.

Yu Huang slung the bear skin over her shoulder and left.

Ge Meng and Eliza watched her leave. Even though they were unwilling, they didn’t continue to urge her to stay.

The brown bear had been killed by Yu Huang, so there was naturally no need for Ge Meng and Eliza to cooperate. The two teams separated and went to hunt low-level Level 23 demon beasts.

As for Yu Huang, she went deep into the middle ring alone and found a small cave.

She blocked the entrance of the cave. After entering the cave, she took out a large basin from the bracelet storage device on her wrist and filled it with water. Then, she sprinkled some medicinal powder and threw the brown bear skin in.

Ever since she accepted Sheng Xiao’s interspatial ring, the bracelet storage device had become Yu Huang’s place to store junk and food. She hid all the truly precious things in her interspatial ring.

The brown bear skin needed to be soaked for two to three hours before it could be used. During this period, Yu Huang took out two more wolf claws from her storage device.

Yu Huang had slaughtered this wolf claw from a Rank 3 Snow Wolf earlier. The wolf claw was extremely sharp, and a light scratch could leave a deep scratch on the rock.

Yu Huang dug the wolf claws out of her flesh. She carefully polished them and threw them into the medicine.

She sat cross legged and cultivated for two to three hours. Her energy had also recovered a little. At this moment, the bear skin and wolf claws were also soaked clean.

Yu Huang used her wolf claws as needles and a thin steel wire to make the bear skin into an airtight armor.

After it was done, Yu Huang put on her armor. From afar, she looked like a giant porcupine.

Although it was ugly, it was indestructible.

Yu Huang was extremely satisfied. She spent some time turning the wolf claw into two fake hands to place them on the back of her hand as the sharpest weapon.

After making ample preparations, Yu Huang left the cave and began her daily quest to kill monsters alone.

…

The weather was particularly hot that day. At night, a bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky and struck a towering tree. In an instant, the tree burst into flames and quickly ignited the weeds and trees in the forest.

It was on fire!

The flames dyed half the sky red. The sleeping demon beasts and wild beasts woke up and ran to safety.

In the sky, a beautiful figure flapped the red wings on her back and flew above the sea of fire.. Her eyes were fixed on a injured red-furred ape with a scheming glint.
