Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The purpose of Mas’ trip this time had been completed. However, in order to avoid shocking the world, he did not put these items into the alchemy space. Instead, he got the merchants to send the goods to the alchemy tower.

Without knowing about the existence of the alchemy space, most people would become greedy for the space ring on their hands just like Belek. It was inevitable that they would cause some trouble.

After all, he had bought so many things and the place he had sent them to was not too far away. The shop naturally did not reject him.

Just as Mas was about to leave the Trun Kingdom with Harry and Walter, he saw a group of professionals gathered under the noticeboard at the city gate, discussing something.

Curious, Mas hurried forward.

It turned out to be a wanted poster for a Class 5 Middle-Class Magical Beast, Slardar the big Murloc.

Reason for being Wanted: This cruel and vicious demonic creature attacked a member of the Trun Kingdom’s royal family.

The final reward for the bounty was actually a beginner Level 7 alchemy material—Red Lotus Flower!

Red Lotus Flower, as the name suggested, was a flower that grew in the center of a volcano. It grew by absorbing lava as nutrients. Normally, a Red Lotus Flower would grow for 50 years!

Seeing the reward, Mas’ eyes lit up.

He had found the last two materials for his Asian Dragon!

“The Trun Kingdom is really willing to pay the price. This Red Lotus Flower would cost at least a few million gold coins. The Trun Kingdom is really willing to pay the price!” Mas thought to himself.

Although this reward was tempting, not everyone could take it. If they were not careful, they might lose their lives.

This was an intermediate Level 5 big Murloc, not easy to deal with.

As an aquatic creature, the big Murloc lived underwater all year round. He was very powerful. If the other party did not want to go ashore, not to mention being attacked by several professionals of the same level, even if he had advanced by a level, an intermediate Level 6 professional would not be able to gain any benefits.

However, Mas was quite confident about this. His confidence naturally came from his two trump cards—the beginner Level 6 Royal Nagas!

However, there was something on the bounty that Mas was more concerned about. It clearly stated that he had to bring back the complete corpse of the Murloc.

This was rather intriguing.

Generally speaking, a bounty only required them to bring back the head of the bounty target. This bounty required the entire corpse and there was another interesting thing. Just to kill a Level 5 Murloc, they actually paid a Level 7 alchemy material as revenge. This reward and the price one paid were completely a mismatch!

Did the Murloc attack the king?!

Forget it, it had nothing to do with him. What Mas was more concerned about was the condition of bringing back the complete corpse. Could it be that there was something very important in the big Murloc’s body?

For example, when the big Murloc attacked the members of the royal family, it swallowed some kind of royal symbol?

That was why he offered such an expensive price to attract professionals to quickly hunt down this big Murloc.

Mas stopped thinking about it. Everything would naturally be resolved when he got the big Murloc’s corpse.

He had already accepted the bounty. Mas was determined to obtain the Red Lotus Flower!

“Walter, Harry, let’s go. We’ve got something to do!” Mas called out, then led the two of them to the destination of the bounty.

According to the information on the wanted poster, that intermediate Level 5 big Murloc was hidden in Salt Lake.

The Salt Lake was twenty kilometers east of the Trun Kingdom. Salt Lake was famous for producing crystal salt.

The taste of this salt was extremely delicious and fresh, and it was usually only produced at the bottom of Salt Lake. There were many aquatic magical beasts in Salt Lake. There were often farmers who would take the risk to dive into the lake to collect salt in order to supplement their family’s income and they would be killed by the magical beasts that came after them.

When Mas led the two to Salt Lake, it was already an hour later.

A large number of professionals and mercenaries had gathered near Salt Lake. They formed a circle around Salt Lake and guarded against each other.

After all, there was only one piece of such a precious cake and everyone wanted to have a bite of it. The fewer people there were, the better.

“Boss, there are many professionals around, and there are many famous mercenaries. What should we do?” Walter looked at the mercenaries around and asked in a low voice.

“There’s no hurry. Let’s just wait and see. There will always be people who can’t help but stand out.” Mas glanced at the lake and said lightly.

Why did he have to do this? Mas had his own reasons. There was no other reason. The bounty this time was too treacherous. It was an exorbitant reward and a baffling bounty target.

Just to be safe, Mas decided to wait a little longer.

Moreover, the big Murloc was hiding at the bottom of the lake. These professionals and mercenaries could not do anything to it. Unless Mas sent out his two royal Nagas to chase the Murloc out of the lake, or even a few advanced Level 5 professionals came, they would not be able to gain any benefits.

However, as the trump card of the royal Naga Race, it had the effect of winning by surprise.

Under normal circumstances, they would not use it if they could. Mas led the two of them to an empty spot not far away and sat down.

The three of them waited quietly for another two hours.

In the past two hours, other than the increasing number of mercenaries who heard the news and came over, no one dared to approach Salt Lake without permission.

It was as if everyone wanted to be the oriole, waiting to pick up the scraps.

However, it was not so easy to take advantage of this. One had to know that many things in the world were life-threatening.

Within these two hours, Mas had a rough look at the mercenaries gathered nearby. Most of them were Level 2 or Level 3 professionals. There were no more than twenty Level 4 professionals. He had yet to see any Level 5 professionals.

Just these useless individuals, as long as this big Murloc did not leave the bottom of the lake, these people might not even be able to take the Murloc down with their lives.

Moreover, they were also scheming against each other, guarding against each other, wanting to take down that intermediate Level 5 big Murloc was definitely out of the question.

“Everyone here, listen up! Hurry up and take your things and leave! This place has been reserved by our Red Leopard Mercenary Group!” A loud voice exploded like thunder, echoing in the ears of everyone by the lake.

Mas looked toward the source of the voice. Not far away, hundreds of mercenaries in alchemy armor rushed toward him with giant axes in their hands.

These mercenaries had a leopard head painted on their armor.

“Red Leopard Mercenary Group?” Mas rubbed his chin with his right hand. As he muttered to himself, a look of disdain flashed across his eyes.

Without a doubt, the Red Leopard Mercenary Group could be considered a relatively famous mercenary group in the Storm Empire because the head of the mercenary group was an intermediate Level 5 axe warrior.
