Crazy! Are You Really A Beast Tamer?

Chapter 308 - 308 196: Epoch Relic!_3

People within the Mad Wolf Mercenary Group had already communicated discreetly and recognized the identity of the young man’s bodyguard.

Upon identifying them, he simply mentioned that they had ventured deep into the ancient battlefield, without accusing them of plundering for supplies.

The young man saved face for the Mad Wolf Mercenary Group, which the old man found pleasing about Fang Mu.

“We’ve got about eight hundred and seventy souls of the dead, including our previous inventory, and over six thousand five hundred souls of the living.”

“However, the outskirts of the ancient battlefield have been nearly exhausted, leaving no convenient resources for future extraction.”

“So the price of living souls should be raised.”

“We’ll offer all of our inventory, and you pay us a total of nine million and five hundred thousand Dragon Rising Coins!”

“You wouldn’t be able to buy so many living souls and souls of the dead in a oner from anyone else.”

“If you buy both the living and dead souls, we can sell you this!”

As the old man spoke, he lowered his voice, pulling out a wooden box stained with mud and steeped in Dead Qi from his pocket.

She Wan’s interest was piqued upon seeing it.

The Mad Wolf Mercenary Group was quite impressive—managing to procure epoch relics from the ancient battlefield!

Judging by the box’s design and the extent of the Dead Qi swirling around it, this epoch relic was likely from before the Sixth Era.

It was unclear whether it was a product of the Fourth Epoch or Fifth Epoch.

Fang Mu also recognized what the old man had taken out.

As the history of the Fifth and Sixth epochs is nearly blank, even the most brilliant scholars dare not piece together the story recklessly.

Much of the documentation from the Fifth and Sixth Epochs was compiled from epoch relics found on the ancient battlefield.

The best way to access the epoch relics left behind on the ancient battlefield is to wait for the Dead Qi and Curse to dissipate naturally.

Alternatively, high-purity Life Elixirs can be used to dispel the Dead Qi.

Then, the pollen from intelligent plant beast familiars can be used to remove any curses attached to the object’s surface.

The plant Beast Familiars from the intelligent family can break the curses on epoch relics. Given their rarity though, the Mad Wolf Mercenary Group could not get its hands on one.

And high-purity Life Elixirs are too extravagant.

Let alone the Mad Wolf Mercenary Group, even the authorities wouldn’t easily use high-concentration Life Elixirs to dispel Dead Qi, which will naturally dissipate over time.

The old man looked at the wooden box in his hands reluctantly.

“I’ve held onto this for fifteen years, and only less than a tenth of the Dead Qi has been released.”

“I have a premonition that there must be something extraordinary in this box!”

“If you are interested, I’ll sell it to you for 8 million Dragon Rising Coins.”

Fang Mu shook his head immediately upon hearing this.

“What is stored inside the epoch relic has nothing to do with the degree of Dead Qi and Curse attached to it.”

“Some epoch relics were only opened after being kept for over three hundred years, and they only contained decorative items and illegible letters.”

“Six million Dragon Rising Coins is my final offer.”

“When I make such an offer for epoch relics in public, a lot of people will contact me actively.”

Fang Mu, while speaking, was desperately suppressing the desire exuded by the Blood of Abundance.

Since consuming the heart of the Blood Duke, the Blood of Abundance had hardly any reaction to blood crystals.

However, the intensity of the Blood of Abundance’s reaction at the moment clearly surpasses that of when it faced the Blood Count’s heart in Swiss Lion Garden.

This shows that the epoch relic in the old man’s wooden box is useful to the Blood of Abundance!

Seeing the old man’s hesitant expression, Fang Mu added another line.

“Don’t forget how many living and dead souls I have bought from you.”

“Just as you said I wouldn’t be able to take up so many at once elsewhere, the same goes for you.”

“You will also find it difficult to sell this much all at once.”

The other members of the Mad Wolf Mercenary Group, fearing that Fang Mu would back out of the deal for the living and dead souls, tried to convince the old man.

“Old Xu, you’ve kept this for fifteen years, and it’ll be over a hundred years before you can open it.”

“Given your age, how are you going to have the chance to open this epoch relic?”

“Given the current situation, why not sell the epoch relic that is of no use to you.”

“Wait until you find relics from epochs that won’t take many years to open, and then you can enjoy the thrill of opening relics of epochs again!”

Hearing everyone persuade him like this, the old man sighed.

To reveal the relic of the epoch in his hand by the mere passage of time, it is almost impossible for him to do so in his lifetime.

Unless he dumps all the resources he will acquire in his remaining years into this epoch relic.

However, logic wouldn’t let the old man do so.

“Six million then!”

“Once you have paid, the epoch relic I have will be yours!”

“My sixth sense has always been accurate in my life, and I hope you can find something good in this box.”

With that, the old man handed the box to Fang Mu.

Fang Mu directly paid the entire sum, and without further delay, left the hut the Mad Wolf Mercenary Group had specifically leased.

As Fang Mu was preparing to visit the rest of the huts, he heard Yin Nanzhen’s voice behind him.

“Master, I’ve spotted an exceptional dark-element beast!”

“I cannot contract any more beasts, but I wonder if you or Sister Wan could contract a tiger type beast?”

“If you can, then you must not miss it!”

At these words, She Wan cast a complicated look at Yin Nanzhen.

Yin Nanzhen clearly didn’t understand how many rare beasts a disciple of a Grandmaster Creator had seen or how picky they would be when choosing a beast.

It was quite possible that what Yin Nanzhen called an exceptional tiger-type beast, Fang Mu had seen many of.

If she were to recommend these dark-element tiger-type beasts to Fang Mu, She Wan would lead Fang Mu to see the beast and let him decide for himself.

If Fang Mu was interested, it would be best. If he wasn’t, it wouldn’t seem like she’d made a mistake.

Fang Mu became intrigued by Yin Nanzhen’s words.

His purpose for coming to the Dark Gathering had been achieved, so even if he gained nothing more, he could still be considered fully laden.

Fang Mu had the whole time until the end of the Dark Gathering to wander around.

Fang Mu had long been planning to contract a beast familiar.

Tiger-type familiars were the aristocrats among beast familiars and could be considered an excellent choice.

Fang Mu was curious about what kind of dark-element tiger-type beast Yin Nanzhen would dub as extraordinary.
