736 “Fruit Farmer” From The Slums (2)
Without a choice, he had to think of other ways. After all, he had to repay the loan.

That was why he thought of a way to find other fruits.

Later on, he found a few good fruits.

It was useless for humans to eat it, but if beasts ate it, it could really increase their levels slightly.

One fruit was worth about one-tenth of the energy of a Level 1 crystal core.

Although it sounded very ordinary,

But this thing was free!

He could pluck as many as he wanted. He didn’t have to fight mutated beasts.

Therefore, during this period of time, Xiong Zhuang directly plucked all the red fruits that could be plucked from the periphery. Then, after saving some for himself, he directly chose to sell them!

Due to the lack of manpower, Xiong Zhuang took the time to find a few people he trusted in the slums to enter the Beast Taming World.

At this moment, he was talking to a few childhood friends in a “house” built with a few rusty iron sheets.

Of course, it was mainly because he was talking about the various benefits in the beast world.

“We don’t have to worry about exotic beasts biting our necks at night!”

“We don’t have to worry about someone chasing us away if they don’t like us!”

“We also don’t have to worry about not being able to find food or shelter!”

“As long as you have beasts, you will definitely be able to find work inside!”

“Even if I don’t sell fruits in the future, it’s better for you to run errands for others and be helpers than here!”

“There are many people in the beast city, but most of them are motivated and unwilling to do heavy or rough work!”

“This is our chance!”

After hearing Xiong Zhuang’s words, the scrawny men in the slums exchanged glances with each other before nodding heavily.

“Brother Xiong, since you still remember us, we’re eternally grateful!”

“Yes, yes, yes! Look at Brother Xiong now! If we had known earlier, we would have followed you when you asked us to buy that beast!”

“Maybe we can be like Brother Xiong now!”

Xiong Zhuang, who was wearing decent clothes, felt more or less comfortable listening to his old friends’ compliments.

His achievements, no, his career, might not be much in Jiangzhou City.

However, in the slums, it was really the top.

Wealth and honor do not return home, just like walking at night in brocade clothes.

This time, Xiong Zhuang came to the slums to recruit people and show off. He wanted them all!

“Don’t worry, as long as we work hard after entering, we can get anything!”

“We might even get a city wife!”

Xiong Zhuang’s flatbread made these people cry out!

Then, someone suggested that they take a look at the famed beast.

“Brother Xiong, where is your beast?”

“Can you release it for us to see if it’s really similar to a mutated beast?”

Xiong Zhuang nodded.

“Of course!”

Then, he took out the Beast Taming Card and rubbed it in his hand a few times. He even let his old brothers circulate it one by one before gently placing the Beast Taming Card on the empty space in front of him—

After a rather mysterious magic circle appeared in the air for a second, a bear about the same height as Xiong Zhuang, covered in fur, with a nose as long as a forearm, appeared in the small iron house. It seemed rather crowded.

Roar ~

As soon as the long-nosed bear appeared, it rubbed its nose against Xiong Zhuang’s face affectionately.

Xiong Zhuang happily hugged the long-nosed bear’s shoulder and pointed at his old brothers to introduce them.

Looking at this bear that was as tall as a person, the few of them subconsciously retreated a lot.

Fortunately, Xiong Zhuang’s actions made them feel much more at ease.

Then, they clicked their tongues in wonder.

“Brother Xiong, is… is this beast very good at fighting?”

When Xiong Zhuang, who had returned to prepare to recruit soldiers and sell fruits, heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face.

“Ahem ~”

“Long-nosed bears don’t focus on combat.”

“It’s good at finding prey. Its nose is especially sharp.”

“If you don’t believe me, you can ask it to look for Level 1 beasts nearby. We might be able to get a few crystal cores.”

Although the Long-nosed Bear was not good at combat strength, that was relatively speaking.

It was not a problem to deal with snow wolves and two-headed lizards that were common outside Jiangzhou City.

Therefore, Xiong Zhuang’s words were quite confident.

Even if it was not good in combat, it was after all still a Level 3 beast. Beating up normal Level 2 mutated beasts still shouldn’t be much of an issue.

No matter what, a long-nosed bear was still a bear!

Upon hearing Xiong Zhuang’s words, the envy in the eyes of his old brothers intensified.

In their eyes, they didn’t desire to be an impressive, awesome existence.

To be able to kill a Level 1 mutated beast was already an impressive way to make a living.

After all, they were all ordinary people. Although they could also use various tools and Level 1 mutated beasts to fight and even hunt them for a living.

However, the danger was extraordinarily high.

An existence like the Long-nosed Bear was definitely top-notch!

Seeing the envy in his brothers’ eyes, Xiong Zhuang turned his head and patted the long-nosed bear beside him.

“Go!”

“Let’s go out and look for mutated beasts!”

“Let’s take advantage of the fact that the sky hasn’t completely darkened to vent the anger I’ve suffered from these damn things a few years ago!”

These words made Xiong Zhuang’s old brothers very excited.

They picked up all kinds of homemade weapons and followed Xiong Zhuang and the long-nosed bear out of the slums.

On the way out of the slums, the long-nosed bear became an eye-catching sight.

Basically, everyone who saw it could not help but stop and take a few more glances.

Although many people had brought their beasts out of the city during this period of time, those people were all passing by on the main road, unlike Xiong Zhuang, who walked out of the slums directly.

After coming out of the slums, the long-nosed bear swung its long nose nimbly a few times before raising it slightly and probing in the air. Then, it narrowed its eyes and sensed for a while before nodding in the southeast direction.

The group followed.

After walking for about a kilometer, they indeed saw a few Level 1 Blood Wolves eating the rotting corpse of a mutated beast.

“We really found it!”

“Aren’t these beasts too strong? Even if we don’t go to the beast world, with this ability, Brother Xiong won’t have to worry about drinking!”

While the few of them were sighing with emotion, Xiong Zhuang commanded the Long-nosed Bear to charge forward.

Seeing that a fresh “prey” had come knocking on their door, the blood wolves immediately gave up on distributing the corpses in front of them and flew towards the Long-nosed Bear.

Then… then two of them were crippled by the Long-nosed Bear.

The remaining three seemed to be brainless as they continued to attack the Long-nosed Bear.

Unfortunately, it was useless.

After taking a few bites and claws from the thick outer skin, the Long-nosed Bear directly killed the five blood wolves.

The battle lasted less than two to three minutes.

The few people who followed Xiong Zhuang here felt that it was unreal.

“Now you know how powerful beasts are, right?”

“Even if you only drew white beasts, as long as you nurture them to Level 3, it will be very easy to kill these Level 1 beasts.”

With the Long-nosed Bear’s personal demonstration, Xiong Zhuang’s old brothers no longer had any doubts about their beasts.

Now, he only wanted to hurry to that dojo and get a beast!

“Tsk~”

“Unfortunately, there’s only one crystal core. Let’s continue walking in!”

“Alright!”

The few of them and the bear then continued deeper into the city.
After all, with the existence of the Long-nosed Bear, they could avoid some powerful existences.

Just like that, Xiong Zhuang and the others went a few kilometers deeper until they were not far from the dry river. Seeing that the sky was about to turn completely dark, they stopped and prepared to return with the ten or so Level 1 crystal cores they had obtained.

Just as the long-nosed bear raised its nose and sniffed again, the long-nosed bear, which had been very calm previously, suddenly used its claws to tug at the bear paw beside it anxiously, and it kept letting out an anxious low growl.

“What happened?”

“Roar, roar, roar, roar!”

“You mean… there are very, very powerful things a few kilometers ahead? And there are many of them?”

“ROAR!”
