Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 810 - 60: A Profitable Deal

"Little brother, are you kidding? You have a way to help me transport the grain to the Boundary River, no wait, little brother you can’t leave the city," the lady boss’s face lit up with joy upon hearing, but then she hesitated.

Yue Jinghua had just entered Four Symbols City, seemingly a novice, and her cultivation appeared to be only the Heavenly Dark Realm.

According to normal rules, Dark Practitioners of the Heavenly Dark Realm are not allowed to leave Four Symbols City and enter the battlefield without permission.

Although the Boundary River is only ten miles from Four Symbols City, it is still part of the mainland battlefield, entering the battlefield without authority is not something Yue Jinghua or even the lady boss of the grocery store could bear. If the City Lord Mansion investigates afterwards, there will be severe punishment.

"You don’t need to worry about this, I have the City Lord Token, leaving the city is no problem," Yue Jinghua flashed the City Lord Token in front of the lady boss.

The lady boss of the grocery store viewed the City Lord Token, and some of her earlier doubts faded, but she still seemed uncertain.

Yue Jinghua’s cultivation, and her ability to evade the Shadow Deer Antlers, was still unknown.

She was still a novice, if something unexpected happened on the battlefield...

"Boss lady, you don’t need to worry about so much. Before I entered Four Symbols City, I was the captain of a Five-star Mercenary Team. Under me, there’s a Cultivator and an Array Master, who can soothe the frightened grain-transporting Dark Beasts, and effectively deal with the alien race’s Shadow Deer Antlers. You only need to tell me the route to transport the grain outside the city, and I need no other reward, except for that map," Yue Jinghua pleaded earnestly, the lady boss considered for a moment, and finally agreed to Yue Jinghua’s proposal.

The two signed a simple employment agreement, and Yue Jinghua promised to deliver this month’s grain to the troops stationed at Boundary River within three days. Afterwards, the lady boss would give Yue Jinghua the Plane Map.

After signing the agreement, Yue Jinghua returned to the Xuan Beast Store, just in time for Shalman’s Dark Beast Egg to hatch.

"What on earth is this?" Yue Jinghua stared at the little Xuan Beast that had just emerged from the egg, still covered in mucus.

"This little guy is called the Mammoth Eagle Elephant, it’s said to be a special Dark Beast around Four Symbols City. I begged for a long time before the shopkeeper agreed to give me this Dark Beast Egg," Shalman took delight in her newly obtained Xuan Beast.

"You call this big guy ’little’?" Yue Jinghua rolled her eyes, this was the largest Xuan Beast she had seen hatched so far.

The newborn Mammoth Eagle Elephant was pink and comparable to an adult colt in size. It could stand and walk on its first day, causing the ground to tremble like a small earthquake when it ran.

Yue Jinghua stood beside it, having to look up.

Shalman ignored Yue Jinghua’s good-natured mockery and walked to the side of the Little Eagle Elephant. The little pink Elephant, with eyes like glass marbles, affectionately raised its trunk towards Shalman.

It lifted its trunk and gently wrapped Shalman’s slender waist with its long trunk, lifting her over its head to sit on its back.

Unlike Yue Jinghua the Summoner, Shalman was just a Cultivator. The biggest difference between Cultivators and Summoners is that Cultivators cannot control adult Dark Beasts.

Except for the later Shepherd Snake Woman, the Dark Beasts under Shalman were able to be controlled only once hatched from eggs.

That’s why she favored Dark Beast Eggs, and after arriving in Four Symbols City, was deeply curious about the local Xuan Beast Store.

This Mammoth Eagle Elephant is a Ninth Rank, Half-Saint Dark Beast, found by a local Cultivator centuries ago at a battlefield site on the mainland battlefield.

The Eagle Elephant’s reproduction rate is even lower than the Sub-Asian Dragon’s, so the Xuan Beast Egg, kept at the Xuan Beast Store for years, was given to Shalman as compensation by the shopkeeper, believing it couldn’t possibly hatch. But Shalman’s talent in breeding allowed her to successfully hatch the egg. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Seeing Shalman’s fondness for the creature, Yue Jinghua shook her head helplessly.

"This big guy came at the right time, tomorrow morning, I want to take it with us outside the city to transport the grain," Yue Jinghua had inquired about the situation; the grocery store lady boss used Camel Elephants for grain transportation.

Camel Elephants were Seventh Rank Dark Beasts that had been uneasy ever since an attack by the Shadow Deer Antlers.

With Shalman managing, combined with the high-ranking Mammoth Eagle Elephant, it’s likely the elephant convoy would remain more composed during transportation.

"We’re going to leave the city to transport grain? Is this the first logistics mission? But the Holy Beast Team hasn’t even left the city to go to battle, why are we doing this first?" Shalman found the situation puzzling.

"It’s not an official logistics mission from the City Lord. I took it privately. Do you remember the enthusiastic lady boss we met at the grocery store earlier? She’s encountered some trouble..." Yue Jinghua explained the situation, and Shalman agreed without hesitation.

After all, her Mammoth Eagle Elephant was in hand, and staying at the Xuan Beast Store no longer held significance.

After returning to their temporary lodging, they found Qian Luo, who immediately agreed upon hearing about entering the battlefield and the chance to encounter all sorts of advanced arrays.

Since Feng Buhui and others were in the final stages of their trial within the Shura Sword Formation, and Yue Jinghua considered the mission’s difficulty not too great, she didn’t deploy Qin and the other three.

The trio studied the grain transportation route map provided by the lady boss that day and decided to set off early the next day for Boundary River.

Later in the evening, as the three headed out, they encountered Hu Li and Ye Yanyu, who had just finished their lecture.

Ye Yanyu couldn’t help but exclaim loudly upon seeing Yue Jinghua, "Oh, I truly envy some people, sleeping until midday every day, not having to attend survival training, nor needing to attend lectures. Today, the City Lord invited the famed Hundred Victories Strategist from the Star Plane to lecture us, and the strategist himself demonstrated how to fight on the battlefield."

Hundred Victories Strategist? That must be referring to Elder Bai Sheng.

Yue Jinghua chuckled inwardly. Demonstration? She had already sparred in actual battle with Elder Bai Sheng over a hundred times. Such paper talk goes, it’s likely Elder Bai Sheng just came up with this to humor City Lord Changsun.

Shalman retorted with a snort, "Jinghua, how peculiar. I heard a series of dog barks in broad daylight, like a sick female dog barking indiscriminately upon seeing people."

"What did you say!? You wretch, you dare insult me?" Ye Yanyu immediately lifted a small Xuan Crystal Cannon, aiming at Yue Jinghua and Shalman.
