Thriving in the Beast World

Chapter 786: Chapter 790: The Third Test 23

Su Tang immediately sneered, "Do you think I’m a fool? What do I need money for? I can neither eat nor drink it, it’s completely useless!"

Her words stunned the lead Beast Soldier.

His eyes dimmed involuntarily, he had originally thought this female was easy to deceive, but it seems she is more cunning than he expected.

"So what do you want? Game? Food that can be stored for a long time?"

As the lead Beast Soldier spoke, he stared intently at Su Tang, but unfortunately, he couldn’t detect any change in her expression.

The lead Beast Soldier’s heart sank further.

He couldn’t help clenching his fists, his face constantly changing.

His eyes gradually steadied, as if making a significant determination, he proposed, "I have a secret, I’ll trade this secret for your water bottle, how’s that?"

Upon hearing this, Su Tang became suddenly interested.

Originally, she just wanted to test the temperament of the leading Beast Soldier and then propose her terms.

She didn’t expect that the Lead Beast Soldier would be so impatient and give her a surprise.

"I’m not actually interested in your secret, but if you want to tell me, I’ll reluctantly listen. However, let’s get one thing straight, if your secret turns out to be useless to me, I won’t sell you the water bottle."

Seeing Su Tang trying to act indifferent, despite clearly looking interested, the Lead Beast Soldier felt like vomiting blood!

But it was no use, after all, he was the one asking for a favor.

He composed himself, took a deep breath, and began, "Before coming to the Wood Immortal Mansion, I was always protecting the Emperor by the king’s command. The secret I’m going to tell you, is about the Emperor."

At these words, Su Tang’s heart clenched involuntarily.

She unconsciously gripped Gaiyin’s arm.

Sensing her tense mood, Gaiyin quietly squeezed her hand in return.

" Many things in the kingdom are instigated by the Emperor himself. He possesses many items referred to as ’books’ which he treasures greatly. Among them, there is one he cherishes the most, he even sleeps with it under his pillow, and never leaves it out of his sight."

"Being assigned by the king to secretly protect the emperor gives me lots of opportunities to watch him when he’s unaware."

"He often mutters to himself while holding that book. It seems that the information about the Wood Immortal Mansion came from this book."

"After the emperor died, I hid the book. I am the only one who knows where the book is now. If you’re interested, after you leave the Wood Immortal Mansion, I can give this book to you."

Interested?

Of course, they were interested!

Before being here, Su Tang had always been curious.

About the people of the Kingdom, or to put it more appropriately, the Emperor.

How did they know about the existence of the Wood Immortal Mansion and the use of the Scarlet Blood Mysterious Ginseng?

She knew about the Wood Immortal Mansion through the system, how could it appear in an ancient book?

However, the significance of the book goes without saying.

There are other Beastmen in the Kingdom who understand writing, thinking about the consequences if the book falls into their hands, it’s just unimaginable!

But from what the Lead Beast Soldier implied, the book was hidden outside the Wood Immortal Mansion, so no matter how anxious she was, there was nothing she could do at the moment.

The news was an unexpected bonus for Su Tang. She needed to find a way to ease the Lead Beast Soldier’s suspicion and figure out roughly where the book was hidden.

Su Tang pursed her lips, "It seems a bit interesting. However, even if we get the book, if we can’t understand what’s written inside, it’s useless.""
