King Level Ticket, Beast Companions
After confirming that Li Fei's credibility was acceptable, Chen Chu returned to his room and contemplated this transaction.
The traces of a fifth-level mutated beast had a certain probability of possessing a spatial distortion area with heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Was it worth selling this information for 50 contribution points?
It seemed reasonable at first glance, but for Li Fei, it was essentially free profit.
Because he didn't need to risk hunting that mutated beast, nor did he have to venture into that special dangerous area to search for the possible heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Of course, with gains come losses.
If Chen Chu managed to slay that mutated beast and found resources inside, that journey would at least be worth 500 contributions, which would be a huge profit.
However, if there was nothing inside and he only returned after killing that fifth-level mutated beast, he would only have earned a little over 100 contribution points.
That was still under the assumption that he also killed one or two third or fourth-level mutated beasts on the way back.
While he wouldn’t incur losses, he would certainly earn less since he would be giving away 50 points.
Moreover, who was it that leaked the news of him killing the fifth-level king-level bloodline mutated beast?
They had collaborated as a team; aside from him, there was also the genius Li Hao, who had reached the fourth level of heaven. Yet, Li Fei was certain he was the one who had slain the beast king.
This matter surely had its complications.
Chen Chu was certain of this before he took a shower, lay down on his bed to rest, and divided some of his consciousness to the thunder flame giant beast.
After absorbing the ancient blood, while the thunder flame giant beast was sleeping, Chen Chu felt a sense of half-awake and half-drowsy consciousness, causing him to frequently zone out during his travels over the past two days.
Now, two days later, that feeling of drowsiness and fatigue began to fade.
Deep beneath the rolling magma of the volcano, a giant beast, 35 meters long and engulfed in golden-red flames, slowly opened its eyes.
After sleeping for two days, the thunder flame giant beast had grown several meters in size, and its appearance had also undergone some changes.
Its head now resembled that of an Eastern divine dragon, with the black horns growing backward becoming sharper, longer, and denser, resembling a mane.
Coupled with three pairs of blood-red feathered horns flaring out on both sides, which were crowned with golden flames, it exuded a strangely holy and majestic aura.
In addition, the structure of its body had become more robust, with long and powerful claws, and the muscles in its hind legs bulging with explosive force.
Hoo!
The thunder flame giant beast slightly opened its mouth, and a terrifying golden flame erupted from it, shooting out for over ten meters and melting the magma into pure liquid wherever it passed.
Although magma is also a hot liquid, it normally contains various materials, making it appear viscous.
Yet, under the golden flames expelled by the thunder flame giant beast, those materials were almost melted into pure "clear" liquid, becoming even hotter.
This was one of the gains from the thunder flame giant beast's sleep: energy control.
Originally, when it exhaled, it had to gather all the scorching energy within its body, similar to an uncontainable ultimate move that could only be turned on or off.
However, after this sleep, the thunder flame giant beast found that its control over the flames and lightning within its body became much easier, able to gather energy with just a thought.
Thinking of this, the thunder flame giant beast extended its right claw.
Instantly, the flames jumping on its right arm converged towards its claw tip, compressing until the tip gleamed like it was forged from gold, emitting dazzling golden light.
At that moment, the thunder flame giant beast waved lightly, and a trail of black cracks of varying lengths formed wherever its claw tip passed.
