Chapter 743: Chapter 747: The First Test 11
He looked seriously at the Beast Soldiers in front of him, "The heritage of the Wood Immortal Mansion wouldn’t be so easily given to you, the challenges to come are going to get harder and harder. If you’re willing to pledge loyalty to me, once I obtain the heritage, I’ll reward you richly. But if you are unwilling..."
He pointed towards the Colorful Mist Vortex Gate not far away, "Feel free to leave!"
For a moment, the Beast Soldiers looked at each other in surprise.
Soon, a voice reverberated from somewhere saying—
"We clearly have a chance to get the heritage of the Wood Immortal Mansion. Why should we follow you? Who knows if you’ll actually reward us once you’ve achieved the inheritance?"
Suddenly, everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
A feeble Beast Soldier stood in the corner.
When he noticed everyone looking at him, he started to panic, shaking his head and waving his hands, "No, no, I didn’t say it..."
Bai Que chuckled lightly, "As I’ve said before, anyone confident in their strength can leave now. I won’t stop you."
Several streaks of white light flashed across the room and more Beast Soldiers appeared, creating a noisy confusion.
"Actually, the young master is right. The challenges will get harder. It’s more secure to follow him."
"Pfft! Scaredy-cat, you’re not worthy of being called a Divine Brave Warrior!"
"Exactly, the young master is just a Level 3 Divine Brave Warrior. I myself am a Level 4 Divine Brave Warrior, of what use could he be to me?"
"What’s there to fear? The first challenge was so easy, the ones thereafter probably wouldn’t be that hard either."
"Exactly! Shouldn’t we at least try our luck?"
"That’s right, I’d rather die during one of the challenges than be someone’s lifelong servant!"
"Charge! Charge! Charge!"
Soon, they had made their decision.
With the Beast Soldier who suggested taking the lead, everyone preferred to risk the journey alone rather than serving Bai Que.
After all, it’s the Wood Immortal Mansion’s heritage we’re talking about. Who wouldn’t be enticed?
Bai Que had apparently foreseen this situation; he just chuckled softly and remained silent.
Thus, this group of Beast Soldiers, filled with enthusiasm and vigor, excitedly stepped into the Colorful Mist Vortex Gate, leading to the second challenge.
The room became particularly quieter.
Of the group of Beast Soldiers just now, only two remained; the first was the weak Beast Soldier who was misunderstood before, and the other was Chi Tree who was familiar to Gaiyin.
Chi Tree, the squad leader of the Beast Soldier Squad they had met when they first arrived at the Ten Thousands Beast Country, had been stripped of his leader status for some reasons.
He stayed not because he decided to serve Bai Que.
He simply agreed with Bai Que’s words that the future challenges surely would get harder. He thought it would be better to pretend allegiance to him for now, and then find an opportunity to snatch the heritage in the future.
Chi Tree didn’t say anything. He, along with the frail Beast Soldier, stood obediently to one side.
Bai Que glanced indifferently at them, then turned his gaze away.
Xuan Shui looked somewhat confused as he asked, "Master, shouldn’t it be better the more help there is for you to obtain the inheritance? Why let them go? If you showed your true strength, a lot of them would surely be willing to serve you."
Bai Que sneered, "They’re all a bunch of mindless fools who could only drag me down. A few obedient ones will be more than enough."
Xuan Shui thought for a moment and felt that Bai Que’s words made some sense. Therefore, he didn’t say anything more.
