Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Plundering Spree

The Monk and Daoist did their utmost to curry favor with Lin Yun, desperate to strike it rich. At this point, they could only act according to Lin Yun’s whims. Without him, the Monk and Daoist wouldn’t dare to wander randomly through the Mysterious Forest. If they ran into a Tier Three Demon Beast, it would be all over for them.

Under the Monk and Daoist’s meticulous care, it wasn’t long before Little Ape returned with the wolf pack. Seeing their haul, Lin Yun smiled in satisfaction.

A total of five Tier Two Demon Beasts and one Tier Three Demon Beast. ’The Blood Patterned Wolves’ hunting efficiency is quite impressive,’ Lin Yun thought. ’With Little Ape helping, they can even take down a Tier Three Demon Beast with ease.’

He immediately extracted the Essence Blood from the six Demon Beasts. Lin Yun gave the five drops of Tier Two Demon Beast Essence Blood to the Black-striped Tiger, as Tier Two Demon Beast Essence Blood was no longer of much use to him.

The Black-striped Tiger swallowed the five drops of Tier Two Demon Beast Essence Blood in one gulp. In truth, what the Black-striped Tiger really needed was Tier Three Demon Beast Essence Blood; the Tier Two blood wasn’t very useful for it either.

For the first time since entering the Mysterious Forest, the group had a wonderful meal of roasted Demon Beast Flesh. Little Ape ate the most, devouring the entire Tier Three Demon Beast by itself.

With the Blood Patterned Wolves standing guard, Lin Yun and the others had a peaceful night’s sleep. Thanks to the wolves, they would know immediately if there was any sign of trouble.

The night passed. Early the next morning, the Monk and Daoist were already eagerly flattering Lin Yun again.

"Alright, alright, you can go. But hunt some Tier Three Demon Beasts on your way back. I only want Tier Three Demon Beasts," Lin Yun said.

In fact, the Monk and Daoist’s intentions aligned perfectly with Lin Yun’s. ’With Little Ape around, how could I possibly pass up on the Spirit Grass and Spirit Fruits in the Mysterious Forest?’

Hearing this, the Monk and Daoist beamed with joy. They swaggered off, leading Little Ape and the Blood Patterned Wolves away.

The Mysterious Forest was vast, and it was said to contain the highest number of Tier Three Demon Beasts in the entire Southeast Domain. For this very reason, not even Primordial Ocean Realm experts dared to venture too deep within it.

With a pack of Blood Patterned Wolves at their back, the Monk and Daoist were full of confidence. The way they swaggered along the path was insufferably smug.

ROAR... As the two walked through the woods, they soon encountered their first Tier Three Demon Beast. In the past, upon meeting a Tier Three Demon Beast, the Monk and Daoist would have turned and fled without a second thought. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Today, however, the Monk and Daoist simply glared at the Tier Three Demon Beast and cursed smugly.

"If you know what’s good for you, you’ll get on your knees for Lord Buddha here. If I’m in a good mood, I might even let you off the hook."

"That’s right! This Daoist Master is merciful. I could be persuaded to take you as my mount."

The Monk and Daoist were being utterly obnoxious. As a Tier Three Demon Beast with considerable intelligence, it naturally sensed their mockery. With a furious roar, it lunged at the duo.

Facing the oncoming Tier Three Demon Beast, the Monk and Daoist dodged in a flash and hid directly behind the Blood Pattern Wolf Pack.

Seeing their disgraceful display, Little Ape, who was already used to it, directly released its Bloodline Power. A wave of pure bloodline pressure instantly pinned the Tier Three Demon Beast in place.

Suppressed by Little Ape, the Tier Three Demon Beast quickly stopped breathing under the siege of the Blood Patterned Wolves.

Having taken care of a Tier Three Demon Beast so easily, the Monk and Daoist became even more brazen. With their newfound power, the duo rampaged through the Mysterious Forest like bandits, plundering everything they saw.

They didn’t even spare a single Earth Level One-Star Spirit Grass.

Given their level of Cultivation, an Earth Level One-Star Spirit Grass was practically trash. But according to them, "every little bit adds up" and "even a mosquito has meat."

Having completely transformed into two bandits, the Monk and Daoist began to loot every Spirit Grass they could find, naturally letting Little Ape handle any Tier Three Demon Beasts they encountered.

Just like that, in a single day, the two of them plundered a fifty-li radius completely bare, not leaving behind even a single Earth Level One-Star Spirit Grass.

As dusk fell, the two returned to Lin Yun’s camp, completely satisfied. Lin Yun, who had been cultivating, slowly opened his eyes. He knew just from the smiles on their faces that those two had made quite a haul.

The Blood Patterned Wolves dropped the five slain Tier Three Demon Beasts. As for the Spirit Grass and Spirit Fruits, Little Ape didn’t take a single one, as it wasn’t interested in them.

"Your haul must have been pretty good, right?" Lin Yun asked the Monk and Daoist.

Hearing Lin Yun’s question, the Monk rubbed his nose and replied with a disappointed sigh, "Ah, don’t even ask. A whole day’s work, and we only managed to get ten stalks of Earth Level Four-Stars Spirit Grass."

As he spoke, the Monk took out the ten stalks of Earth Level Four-Stars Spirit Grass, making a show of handing them to Lin Yun.

’These two...’ Lin Yun thought. ’If they really only got ten stalks of Earth Level Four-Stars Spirit Grass, I’ll eat my hat.’

A wicked smile crept onto his face as Lin Yun said nonchalantly, "Would you dare enter the Mysterious Forest without Little Ape’s help? Fine, if you don’t want to bring out the rest, so be it."

As he spoke, Lin Yun’s smile grew even more sinister. The Monk and Daoist’s hearts sank. ’This is bad!’ As expected, Lin Yun tilted his head toward Little Ape and said, "Let the Blood Patterned Wolves eat them."

Hearing Lin Yun’s command, Little Ape let out a few low growls at the pack. Instantly, the entire wolf pack closed in, tightly encircling the Monk and Daoist, their eyes glinting with a cold, green light.

They never thought Lin Yun would actually issue a kill order. There was no doubt that with their strength, they would surely die against the Blood Pattern Wolf Pack.

"Young Master Lin! Young Master Lin! Let’s talk this over! We can talk this over!" the Monk shouted.

"What is there to talk about? Your haul was so small. Why should I keep you around?" Lin Yun replied.

"No, no, no, Young Master Lin! There’s more! We have more! We’ll definitely satisfy you!" the Daoist hurriedly chimed in.

’These two really are the type who won’t repent until they’re at death’s door.’ Reasoning with them was useless. With a small smile, Lin Yun signaled Little Ape to wait. Then, under the watchful eyes of the wolf pack, the Monk and Daoist took out every last Spirit Grass and Spirit Fruit they had.

Looking at the massive pile of Spirit Grass and Spirit Fruits on the ground... ’Holy cow.’ There were five stalks of Earth Level Six-Stars, ten of Earth Level Five-Stars, and twenty-five of Earth Level Four-Stars. As for anything below Earth Level Four-Stars, Lin Yun couldn’t be bothered to count them. Their value was too low; they wouldn’t fetch much even if sold.

He directly took all the Earth Level Six-Stars and Earth Level Five-Stars Spirit Grass. Of the Earth Level Four-Stars, Lin Yun took ten stalks.

"Alright, the rest is for you," he said to the duo, satisfied.

However, looking at the remaining pile of only Earth Level Four-Stars and lower Spirit Grass, the Monk and Daoist’s faces turned ashen. The best and most valuable items had all been taken by Lin Yun. Although the remaining quantity was large, its total value was less than half of what Lin Yun had taken.

"Young Master Lin, I, this Monk, have been an orphan since I was a child. I remember having to eat other people’s scraps just to survive. It was so pitiful..."

"Young Master Lin, when I, this Daoist, was three, my father was killed by his enemies. When I was four, my mother died from overwork and illness. In my childhood, I..."

Not daring to argue with Lin Yun, the Monk and Daoist instantly started wailing, snot and tears flying everywhere. Their stories were utterly miserable, and what impressed Lin Yun the most was that they actually managed to squeeze out real tears.
