Chapter 290:179 Seventh-turn Extermination Task Scroll_3

Translator: 549690339

Seeing the situation, Dean McKenzie activated his “Bone Armor” and adopted a combat stance.

Having spent a while in the South Barbarian, Dean knew that he couldn’t show weakness when facing trouble here. He had to be tough when necessary and fight when needed!

Although he had no idea why this group suddenly surrounded him.

But it didn’t matter, given the current circumstances, Dean was not afraid to fight.

With his current strength, even if it was the Seven-turn existence in the Giant Bear Tribe, Dean had the ability to confront it.

However, just as Dean adopted a ready-to-fight stance, a voice suddenly rang out.

“Stand down!”

Accompanied by a hoarse, elderly voice, the group of barbarians ready to fight Dean stopped.

At the same time, an elderly-looking Barbarian, who seemed to be at least 80 or 90 years old, appeared in front of Dean.

Dean’s gaze fell on the Barbarian, his eyebrows raised.

Even without using the Appraisal Skill, Dean could almost discern the other’s strength.

At the very least, it was the strength of the fake Seven-turn at the Six-turn Peak.

Because this Barbarian seemed much more dangerous than the very large Carl he encountered before.

While Dean was sizing him up, the Barbarian’s gaze also fell on Dean.

After sizing Dean up for a while, the old Barbarian narrowed his eyes and said, “Should I call you Strong Guy, or should I call you Bruce Hodge?”

Dean didn’t mind being called by his fake identity. After all, that identity couldn’t withstand scrutiny in the first place.

Moreover, it wasn’t stated before his Promotion Trial.

Now that he had completed his Promotion Trial, Dean didn’t mind whether his fake identity got exposed or not.

So Dean casually replied: “A name is just a code, call me whatever you like!”

“So it seems, Bruce Hodge might not be your real name!”

The old man narrowed his eyes.

Dean shrugged, ignoring the other’s topic question: “What’s the intention behind your tribe’s show today?”

Since Dean didn’t engage in his topic, the other didn’t continue on Dean’s conversation thread either.

“Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Yorick Meyer, the high priest of the Giant Bear Tribe!”

“I’m not interested in who you are, I just want to know what you’re planning to do?”

“As far as I know, the Giant Serpent Tribe has been very active recently, striking quite a few deals!”

“If you don’t have any business with me, I’ll take my leave!”

Both Dean and Yorick Meyer seemed to be talking past each other, with a palpable tension in the air that suggested whoever engaged in the other’s subject, lost.

However, with Dean being in the other’s territory, he couldn’t seem to gain the upper hand in this contest.

“If we wanted, we could extinguish all of the Giant Serpent Tribe’s business!”

High Priest Meyer’s statement made Dean’s brow furrow.

“What exactly are you trying to do?”

High Priest Meyer gave a light laugh, containing a calm sense of control: “You just came out from the Giant Bull Tribe, right?

You have a good relationship with the leader of the Giant Bull Tribe, don’t you?”

Yorick’s comment made his intention and purpose crystal clear.

“I have only known him for three days, we don’t have much of a relationship!”

“Whether you have a relationship or not doesn’t matter, help me give this to him!”

As he spoke, Yorick threw a scroll into Dean’s hand.

Dean looked down and saw the attributes of the item in front of his eyes.

Name: “Seventh-turn Extermination Task Scroll”

Usage Condition: Six-turn (Level 140)

Description: After use, a Seventh-turn Extermination Task can be started. Completion of the task can progress to Seven-turn.

Upon seeing the properties of this item, Dean was stunned.

He looked up incredulously at Yorick.

The Giant Bear Tribe’s previous schemes against Carl were unknown to Carl himself, but Dean was aware.

They simply didn’t want Carl to break through to the Seventh-turn, so why would they give the scroll to Dean and ask him to give it to Carl at this point?

Even without thinking much, Dean could guess there must be a scheme involved.

“Why…”

“Don’t harbor too much unnecessary curiosity, just give this to Carl and I’ll overlook your rudeness. I can also allow the Giant Serpent Tribe to continue doing business in the Giant Bear Tribe’s territory.”

Yorick spoke with a patronizing tone, as if Dean was completely in his control.

Hearing this, Dean almost lost his temper.

‘Giving him face, huh?

Old bastard, does he really think he’s got me under his thumb?’

Dean was almost ready to flip the table.

Looking at the group in front of him, Dean confidently knew that he could defeat them.

But being able to win was one thing, deciding whether to fight was another story.

Besides, while he could win this fight, whether or not he could combat the Seven-turn leader was another matter altogether.

Moreover, if they fought and Dean couldn’t suppress the Giant Bear Tribe, all his business here would be suspended.

The Giant Serpent Tribe might also be wiped out.

So, after hesitating, Dean chose to hold back.

In fact, he chose to temporarily hold back.

“I’ll give the item to him!”

“Very good, you made a wise choice!”

High Priest Meyer nodded in satisfaction, then added, “He’s at the Giant Bear Tribe’s trading venue. You can go and give him the scroll!”

He was clearly pushing Dean every step of the way!

Suppressing the impulse to smash a fist into Yorick’s face, Dean picked up the scroll. Under the escort of the members of the Giant Bear Tribe, he left Promotion Temple and headed for the Giant Bear Tribe’s trading venue.

The High Priest watched Dean leave, a gloating smile on his face.

It was as if he was watching a lamb falling into his trap.

Shortly after, under the guidance of the members of the Giant Bear Tribe, Dean quickly arrived at the trading venue of the Giant Bear Tribe.

“Carl is in the center of the venue, give him the scroll immediately!”

As soon as they arrived at the venue, the member of the Giant Bear Tribe accompanying Dean urged him.

However, Dean’s footsteps halted.

A mocking smile appeared on his face, “Give it to Carl? Why should I give it to him?

This good thing, isn’t it better for me to keep it for myself?

Oh, I must say one thing, thanks for the gift from the lovely folks of the Giant Bear Tribe!”

While speaking, the Barbarian next to Dean was immediately dismissed.
