"Take this Dragon Blood Grass and find a quiet place to refine it. You have great talent, and this Dragon Blood Grass can give you a trace of dragon blood, which will greatly help your future growth."

Hans gave instructions to his young apprentice, who was to be his last disciple.

His talent is even better than it was back then. He is now seriously injured, and his strength has declined significantly. He can no longer return to his peak strength.

Therefore, his only thought now is to pass on all his skills to his apprentice, so that his apprentice can take his place at the top of the world.

And this dragon blood fruit can greatly enhance potential.

"Thank you, Master. It just so happens that I don't have any spiritual herbs yet. I formed a team with Brother Lan and the others. When our team was dividing the spoils before, Brother Lan got all the spiritual herbs, but I didn't get a single one. Now that's the case, I can have a spiritual herb too!"

As John obtained the Dragon Blood Grass, he casually mentioned the situation of his squad.

Their squad initially stated that they would gather all the loot collected by everyone and then distribute it according to merit.

John stayed at the back of the group the whole time and did nothing to stop the monsters, so his contribution was minimal.

The team found two medicinal herbs that weren't very effective.

One of them was given to the Silver Warrior with the highest cultivation level.

Another one was given to Lan, who fought bravely against monsters and often protected her teammates.

However, John only mentioned that he hadn't received any of the elixirs, but he didn't mention at all that he had stayed at the back of the group and hadn't shared the burden with the team.

The city lord of Forest City was immediately displeased upon hearing this.

Lan Ke is his nephew. As the city lord, he has always taught his younger generation to be responsible and have a sense of duty, and not to bully others because of their status.

What's more, they even dared to bully the disciple of the Phantom Sword Saint.

The Forest City Lord was misled by John's words and thought that his nephew was bullying a rookie warrior because of his status.

"Lan! Come here, look at what you've done! Quickly give the spiritual herb you were allocated to Phantom Sword Saint's disciple!"

The lord of Forest City was unaware that he had wronged his nephew.

The main reason is that he wants to curry favor with the Phantom Sword Saint, so the Sword Saint's disciple will also be drawn to him.

Lan quickly ran behind the city lord.

"How did I teach you? Have you been ignoring everything I said? Quickly give them the elixir!"

The Forest City Lord immediately used his elder's authority to suppress Lan, leaving her speechless.

Lan could only manage a bitter smile. He saw that his uncle was furious and knew that explaining would be useless.

"John, I didn't think things through when it came to distributing the team's loot. I apologize for not considering you."

Lan smiled awkwardly at John and handed him the elixir she was carrying.

John smiled and took the elixir, noticing a slight resistance as he did so.

Clearly, Lan on the other side was somewhat reluctant to part with him.

"It's alright, even if Brother Lan doesn't give it to me, it's fine. After all, Brother Lan is the city lord's nephew..."

After receiving the elixir, John still said a few words.

This matter was quickly moved on.

Of course, important figures wouldn't care about the gain or loss of these few medicinal herbs.

Lan could only hide in a corner and sigh to herself.

Once everyone's attention had shifted away from him, John couldn't help but reveal a smug, wicked grin.

"Foolish fellow, so what if he's the city lord's nephew? He's still being played like a pig by me."

Looking at the large number of spiritual herbs in his storage ring, he put in a Dragon Blood Grass and some ordinary spiritual herbs that he had just taken from Lan.

John's smug smile deepened.

He wasn't going to pool all the loot he found and distribute it equally among the squad...

However, everyone else had already shifted their attention away from him and did not notice anything unusual about him.

But while the person's attention shifted, the insect's attention remained unwavering.

Zhao Zian watched this grand spectacle and couldn't help but applaud him.

BYD's little green tea bitch is quite the actress.

Zhao Zian witnessed the whole thing.

At first, he just thought the kid was lucky.

All he thought about was following this kid around, eating and drinking for free, and picking up scraps he didn't want.

But now it seems more and more like this kid has the makings of a protagonist.

He was found by a severely wounded swordsman and taken as his disciple.

And they have exceptionally good luck.

The entire team risked their lives to find only two medicinal herbs with poor efficacy.

He, on the other hand, can easily find a whole basketful just by wandering around.

His master also obtained a top-grade elixir for him...

Plus, this kid seems to be an orphan.

He also had a crush on a girl, but she didn't like him at all; she liked Lan instead...

Could he really be the main character?

Zhao Zian remembered that in some stories, there was a chosen one of destiny for a world.

Could this scheming guy named John also be a chosen one or something?

While Zhao Zian was still immersed in his own thoughts...

Hun Tian, ​​who was far away, was not happy about it.

Humans don't take themselves seriously, do they? And they're chatting away like that?

Without saying a word, he immediately unleashed a beam of light, intending to wipe out these despicable humans.

However, of course, it wouldn't go as it wished, and the city lord blocked the ray directly.

"Damn humans, hand over the Dragon Blood Grass! This level of spiritual medicine is beyond your control!"

Then, it addressed the other overlord-level creatures behind it: "Join me in reclaiming the Dragon Blood Grass. I, Hun Tian, ​​swear in the name of the Beast God that if we can reclaim the Dragon Blood Grass, I will share it with all of you!"

It wasn't stupid; facing the formidable human enemy before it, its strength alone was clearly insufficient to wrest the enemy back from the human alliance.

Only by uniting with other dominant creatures can we have a chance to reclaim the Dragon Blood Grass.

Sharing this dragon's blood grass with other creatures is always better than getting nothing at all.

roar!

Oh!

Ugh!

...

Amidst the roars of the dominant creatures, the wild beasts of the forest clearly completed this alliance swiftly.

What's even more terrifying is that these overlord-level creatures have their own clans, and they are the strongest in their own clans.

Not only their own groups, but also many weaker groups, sought refuge with these powerful races in order to protect their own.

Even if there aren't any overlord-level beasts, there are many elite-level ones.

Normally, a Platinum level is enough to be a dominant force.

The strongest overlord, Hun Tian, ​​is at the diamond level, making him a top-tier fighter among overlords.

Elite monsters are all at the Silver or Gold level.

Black Iron and Bronze are considered ordinary magical beasts.

If it doesn't even reach the Black Iron level, then it's just an ordinary beast.
