Chapter 102
The experienced adventurers had always been firm and decisive when they did anything . Only less than half an hour ago, a chariot and three horses immediately set off from the east side of the Golden Tower city, going along the big road toward the Southeast .
Riding the horses were Lei, Stelle and Liv . Lady Teague and little Agnes sat in the chariot . As for the carter, another member from the group of youngsters who had just got out of debt, his name was Frank .
In this group of young boys and girls, there were a few with outstanding skills . Among those, Ze Sheng was obviously the strongest . But if he was not here, this group of youngsters would lose their most reliable person . Maybe before everyone could find a clue to investigate the root of the matter, their bones and skin would have been swallowed by the Nobility God’s church . Therefore, it was not only Ze Sheng who stayed, but also other guys with up-to-the-mark skills .
Frank was a little son of the merchant . He was different from his older brother who had received education of a businessman since he was little . He always admired the bearing of the knight, and followed Parn the Knight to learn things that a knight needed to have like riding horses, sword art, spear art, and archery . But he really lacked innate talent . Although he had been studying for five or six years, he was still considered a rookie . His sword art, spear art, and archery were all far from excellent . The only thing that he could do pretty presentably was riding a horse .
In contrast to his clumsy knight ability, his business talent was not bad . No matter if it was his calculation, negotiation or evaluation skills, they were on an admirable level . What was especially rare was that he was extremely good at controlling technique and riding . Even Liv had to admit that an expert in riding a horse would also bow down to Frank .
The scheme of his older brother was very excellent . Even though his debt was paid off completely, he still wanted to adventure with everybody and do a little more for everyone . Today, when they went to pay the debt, he had volunteered to go negotiate with the Nobility God’s church . After bargaining for a while, he didn’t only reduce a bit of interest, but he also saved everyone some money .
After going through hardships during this time, these youngsters had all understood the importance of money . Because they could save a bit of money, everyone was really happy . They gathered to buy food and drinks, wanting to go to Liv’s house to have a small party to congratulate them on the fact that they had said goodbye to their damned debt . When they heard the news, after a discussion —-maybe it should have been called an argument, it was still Frank who was able to persuade everyone to join the trip in the end .
One thing that couldn’t be denied was that his riding technique was indeed very good . Two horses almost went at the same time . Their speeds were nearly the same . They ran very smoothly . Although it was a little bit shaky when sitting inside the chariot, there was absolutely no jolt .
This was thanks to the blessing of the majority of shamans in the Mystique Tower Federation . Due to the large number of shamans, big roads in the cities in the Mystique Tower Federation were all built by magic, very flat . They were made specifically like this: Firstly, tamp the soil tightly onto the ground, then cover the tamped soil with broken rocks, then tamp the compound once again to make the base for the road . Then on the base of the road, use magic to create solid stones to make a stone pavement with a little bit of arc . At first glance, this road may look like a stone pavement in some ancient cities . But if one looked closely, this was not pavement inside a city but the main road connecting every city and town of the entire country .

In the entire Main Surface, only the “Country of Shaman” could complete such a grand architecture . The reason was very simple . They had enough mid-level shamans to display magic to manufacture those huge rocks into compatible shapes, significantly reducing the amount of labor power .
In fact, according to the regulation of the Mystique Tower Federation, if a shaman wanted to build his own magic tower, he had to make sure that he had at least one standard road to connect with the road system of the entire country . Not to mention, that shaman had to protect the road surrounding his magic tower .
With such a frightening investment, the fluency in traffic in this country could be considered one of a kind .
Well, the first premise was not counting the many devil creatures that would take forever to count .
When the night deepened, they found an empty area to rest temporarily . Lei left behind a sentence “I will go clean up a little bit” and then immediately carried his spear and sword, marching into the forest beside .
When the tent was set up and campfire was lit, flour and wheat were cooked into porridge and beef was turned into beef soup . These kind of scents lingered around the entire campsite . At that moment, Lei came back with blood all over his body . His hand was pulling a customized mooring rope . The rope was tied onto a monster, whose face looked haggard, and was following Lei like a buffalo or a cow being led .
This monster was a bit similar to an ape, but its face was covered entirely with hair, which made it look really fierce . As compared to other normal apes, it was much more brutal and ferocious . Its long, sharp teeth and sharp claws had proved that it was not a kind type . Its robust build could make a normal wild bear flinch, which showed its power more clearly .
What was scarier was when it breathed, there was a small spark spitting out from its mouth along with the faint smell of sulfur . Regardless, Liv and Frank, the two with the least experience, and Lady Teague were immediately able to tell its identity as soon as they smelled the sulfur scent .
“A purgatory-refined brutal ape? That’s not right . It is a giant purgatory-refined brutal ape! This isn’t an easy thing to deal with . I can’t imagine that you could catch it alive . ” She smilingly said, “Mister Lei, you are really a mighty knight!”
Lei laughed and dropped the rope, letting the devil ape which was dispirited sit on the side . “You have overestimated me . This thing is not particularly strong . We just need to wound it heavily if we want to catch it . It is just a little bit troublesome to do so . “
Liv and Frank rolled their eyes and dropped their jaws when they saw this . A small adventure group like them used to encounter purgatory-refined brutal creatures . At that time, they met a brutal wolf with little signs of being purgatory-refined, which brought along four other brutal wolves . Those wolves had formed into a pack . At that time, their battle was shaken to the core . If it weren’t for a group of experienced adventurers who happened to pass by and help them, their group would have lost some members .

Everyone knew that among all kinds of animals, giant apes were considered exceptionally mighty . It probably needed a team of seasoned adventurers to firmly fight against a giant purgatory-refined ape . If one day a rookie adventure group like theirs met them, it was more likely that the entire group would be destroyed .
According to what they knew, devil creatures like apes were like wolves . They liked to travel in packs and usually acted in a group of three or five . Judging from Lei’s blood covered body, he might have killed the entire pack . But the fact that he could still come back with a living terrifyingly mighty king beast had proved his unimaginably formidable strength!
“Mister . . Mister, why did you catch this thing?” As Frank had recovered his mind, he curiously asked, “Does it perhaps have some special value?”
“It can’t be said to have any special value yet . I just caught it to use for the night vigil . ” Lei said nonchalantly, “The kind of creature like ape has pretty high intelligence . It is quite easy to tame it . I’ve already beaten this guy . From now on, it will help us with the night vigil . “
Catching a king beast for a night vigil?! Liv, Frank and even Lady Teague were stunned due to the fright .
“Does it really not have any problems? Will it take advantage of the time when we sleep to sneak an attack on us?” Liv worriedly asked .
“It won’t . It is not dumb . ” Lei chuckled as he walked in front of the ape and patted it on its head, “You see?”
The dispirited giant ape lowered its head . When he approached, it looked better-behaved, and fearfully crouched on the ground, not daring to do anything . It was a tamed police dog, which obediently let him pat its head without any sound of protest .
“You are really sensible . “
This scene left everyone speechless . They didn’t know exactly what method Lei had used to “tame” such a brutal devil beast .
“Ah? Didn’t we take turns to guard at night before?” As Stelle was crawling out of the tent, she then curiously asked when she saw this scene, “Do you intend to go out at night?”
Lei nodded, “Right when we arrive in the Cloud Tower city, an intense battle is very likely to happen . I want to seize this time to tame this disobedient rascal and stop dilly dallying . “
“You are right; you have been dilly dallying for too long . ” She approvingly said, “From what I see, why don’t you catch another one to tame? For example this ape is not bad . . . at least . . . it is very smart . It can’t fight , but it will be obedient . “
“Stop joking . How can a knight ride an ape?!” Lei shook his head and smiled as he stepped aside, swung up his arm, and released his Copper-Crowned Wyvern from a space bag which was specially made to block devil creatures .
This Copper-Crowned Wyvern was indeed a devil beast Lord of an area . Despite the fact that it had been locked up and tossed around for a long time, it was still the same; its fierceness didn’t decrease . As soon as it got out, it immediately shook its head, waved its tail, let out a wild shriek, and opened its bloody mouth wide like a sacrificial bowl, wanting to bite Lei to death .
Welcoming it was as usual, a fist with an unbelievably enormous power . Within one move, it was knocked down . It rolled several rounds consecutively on the ground until it bumped into an ancient tree .
“You, stupid rascal, why don’t you learn a little to get smarter?” Lei couldn’t do anything else besides scream, pull the tail of the Cooper-Crowned Wyvern, and drag the brutal devil beast around the forest .
After taking a few steps, he stopped and punched the Wyvern violently which was trying to struggle off, then instructed the giant ape which was sitting there carefully watch at night . Don’t make any mistakes or else tomorrow morning, I’ll feed your brainto the Wyvern . “
The giant ape was more panicked as it saw the Copper-Crowned Wyvern that all of its hair stood up—— This devil ape was a good dish on the menu of the Wyvern . No matter how much more powerful this ape was compared to a normal ape, this Wyvern was way stronger than a normal Wyvern . If those two met in the wilderness, it was still the same; the ape would be unable to escape the ending of becoming this Wyvern’s food .
But this terrifying Wyvern, who could turn the ape into food, wouldn’t have the strength to fight back and was beaten like a sandbag in front of a man with a normal build . This made him recall the scene earlier in the morning—At that time I led the tribe to attack that man . As a result, in the blink of an eye, the entire tribe was wiped out, while I was beaten until losing consciousness . When I woke up, I had been imprisoned, becoming a lowly prisoner .
Right now, when I remember, it turns out that man had been merciful .
Although right now I can save my life, he probably doesn’t want to tame me but just find a watchdog .
It was still discontent, wanting to find a chance to escape or move its limbs a little bit . The devil beast with a bit of wisdom sighed deeply . Its hairy face showed a reluctant dismayed look .
This time, it ran out of hope; deciding to change its career into a watchdog .
The glory of a King of the beasts? Nature of a devil creature?
Survival is the most important thing!
