Chapter 785: Chapter 789: The Third Test 22
The two beast soldiers hung their heads in shame, ceasing to speak.
"Who among you can make this water bottle?" The leading beast soldier’s gaze skittered across the faces of several beastmen.
They all fell silent, looking at each other with uncertainty.
The leading beast soldier began to wear a grim expression. "None of you can?!"
Beast Soldier A: "I... I have speed superpower."
Beast Soldier B: "I have strength."
Beast Soldier C: "I... I have excellent eyesight."
Beast Soldier D: "I can hold my breath for a long time..."
Fuming with anger, the leading beast soldier kicked Beast Soldier A, who was closest to him.
He muttered curses under his breath, clearly frustrated, "Useless! Imbeciles!"
The beast soldiers all dared not utter a word.
Most of them grumbled silently to themselves: He’s no different than us, with his hardening superpower, what right does he have to criticize us?
The leading beast soldier took a few deep breaths to compose himself, still feeling that the water bottle was immensely useful.
So, he mustered up some courage and emerged from behind the sand dunes.
The leader quietly pumped himself up, determined to secure the water bottle regardless of the conditions proposed to him.
The other beast soldiers were startled and whispered urgently behind him, "Boss, what are you doing? Where are you going?"
The leading beast soldier ignored them, heading straight towards Su Tang.
From a distance...
Su Tang spotted the figure of the leading beast soldier.
Unable to suppress her delight, she hid behind Gaiyin and quietly chuckled.
Such a cunning little girl, she didn’t expect someone to take the bait this quickly.
The leading beast soldier, thinking that his appearance had scared Su Tang, hurriedly raised his hands and stopped.
"Don’t be scared, little female. I won’t hurt you. I just want to talk with you."
Su Tang gently peeked out from behind Gaiyin and saw the leading beast soldier forcing an awkward smile.
Su Tang: "..."
That must be what it meant when one said that a smile could look more horrendous than a tearful face. What an eyesore!
The leading beast soldier tentatively stepped towards them again.
One step, two steps.
Shuffling along.
On this soft terrain, shuffling.
Soon, he had shuffled his way to where Su Tang and the others were.
Rubbing his hands together, he offered a polite smile, "Can I buy a water bottle like that from you?"
Su Tang, pretending to be on guard, quickly hugged the water bottle closely to her.
She eyed the leading beast soldier cautiously and refused, "No sale! We only made a few of these water bottles. If we sell one to you, what would we use?"
Hearing Su Tang’s refusal, the leading beast soldier became anxious.
He glanced at Gaiyin, noticing that Gaiyin made no attempt to stop Su Tang’s refusal. It dawned on him that the little female had the final say in this matter.
He promptly put on a smile again, "See, I really need this water bottle. I only want one, and you can name your price. How about that? But I don’t have much currency on me at the moment. Can I owe it to you now and give it to you later when we get out?"
The leading beast soldier, while saying this, had a cunning thought of his own.
The trials were getting more challenging. As powerful as this White Tiger Young Master might be, the little female looked quite frail. They might just die in one of these tests. Wouldn’t that give him an advantage then?
He wouldn’t have to repay them, and he would have one less strong competitor!
As the leading beast soldier was contemplating, his grin spread even wider.
Yet, all of this was not unnoticed by Su Tang.
