The second auction held at the Mythical Beasts Auction House has successfully concluded.
After tonight.
Without a doubt, the name of the Divine Beast Auction House will resound throughout the entire capital of Yan!
Lu Yuan looked at the long string of numbers on his account and couldn't stop smiling.
Sometimes he wondered if holding an auction every week was too frequent, but the amount of money was just too much!
Tonight, only ten items were auctioned off, yet the company made a net profit of 6.6 billion!
That's almost equal to the entire monthly income of the Divine Beast Pavilion!
"With this money on hand, participating in the expedition will be much smoother."
Whether it's exchanging formations or increasing Xiao Yi and Chi Lin's experience levels, divine power is indispensable.
Despite earning a considerable amount every day, he is actually in a state of not making ends meet and has to carefully calculate every penny.
After leaving the cleanup work at the auction to Mu Ruxing, Lu Yuan returned to the Divine Beast Pavilion early to rest and prepare for the expedition the next day.
The nights seem to pass especially quickly.
Just as dawn was breaking, Yang Lin personally drove to pick him up.
"Mr. Lu, let's go!"
Let's go!
Lu Yuan left a simple note for Mu Ruxing, then turned around and jumped into Yang Lin's car.
Lu Yuan left his luggage and other prepared items in the Beast Taming Space, his hands empty and his body relaxed. He simply leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Not long after.
The car stopped in front of a dilapidated bungalow on the outskirts of Yandu.
Lu Yuan slowly opened his eyes and yawned. Seeing Yang Lin get out of the car, he followed him down.
The group stood in front of the bungalow, led by Zhao Hun, whom they had met at the auction yesterday.
"Captain Yang, we're going on a punitive expedition, not to play house. What are you doing bringing this kid along?"
Seeing that Yang Lin was followed by a young, unfamiliar man, Zhao Hun spoke up in dissatisfaction.
"This is my younger brother. I brought him out to see the world. Our third squad will take care of him ourselves. You don't need to worry about him."
Yang Lin also didn't have a good impression of Zhao Hun, and directly retorted.
Moreover, in order to avoid exposing Lu Yuan's identity and causing other controversies and troubles, he lied and said that Lu Yuan was his younger brother. This way, even if others were dissatisfied, they would not make things difficult for Lu Yuan out of consideration for him, and might even be able to help him when facing danger.
In response to this.
Lu Yuan did not raise any objections.
Moreover, given Yang Lin's age and status, there's nothing wrong with calling him "younger brother."
Hearing Yang Lin say this, even if Zhao Hun had many complaints, he couldn't say them out loud. He gave Lu Yuan a deep look and then greeted Yang Lin.
"Now that everyone is here, let's set off."
Yang Lin nodded.
The two groups then boarded the six off-road vehicles parked nearby.
Lu Yuan was extremely quiet in the car. He had been resting with his eyes closed since he sat down, and he didn't want to open them even though the road was bumpy and swaying.
But they didn't know that.
In fact, Lu Yuan was using his consciousness to browse the system's online store.
"Shadow Array, Yuan-Stabilizing Array... these are all good items, but the prices are really high!"
Looking at the remaining eight billion yuan in his account, Lu Yuan fell into deep thought.
To prevent any unexpected situations, he brought out all his savings, but even so, he still dared not spend money recklessly in the face of the dazzling array of goods in the mall.
"Sigh! My dream is to be able to shop without restraint in the system's online store, and ideally, to buy out the entire store!"
Lu Yuan had high hopes for this day, but he didn't know when it would actually come true.
Sizzle!
The SUV, which was driving normally, suddenly braked hard.
Lu Yuan immediately opened his eyes.
A monstrous beast resembling a jackal was blocking their way, baring its teeth at them.
Unlike ordinary jackals, this monster was nearly two meters tall and seemed to be quite powerful.
"Acheng, Haozi, you two go down and take care of it!"
Yang Lin, in the passenger seat, spoke in a deep voice, and the men sitting on either side of Lu Yuan immediately opened the car doors and jumped out.
It only takes three to five minutes.
The ferocious beast that was just moments ago was now lying motionless on the ground.
"So this is the armed squad of the Divine Martial Pavilion..."
Lu Yuan was slightly surprised.
I never expected that the members of Yang Lin's team, who seemed so carefree on the surface, were actually so strong.
After dealing with the monsters blocking their way, Zhou Cheng and Liu Tianhao returned to the car and sat on either side of Lu Yuan, subtly adopting a protective stance.
Only then did Lu Yuan understand Yang Lin and the others' intentions, and he couldn't help but give them a deep look.
These guys...
After this minor incident, the SUV was started up and back on the road.
Looking at the unfamiliar scenery outside, Lu Yuan realized that the other five SUVs had disappeared sometime during the night.
They had completely left the area of Yandu and were heading towards the Scorching Sun Forest, which was not far away. The direction from which the monster had just run was precisely towards the Scorching Sun Forest.
"Captain, the situation does seem to be getting worse."
Du Pengyi, who was driving, had a solemn expression, as if he was wary of something.
Yang Lin's complexion was also not very good.
"It seems the concerns from above are not entirely unfounded. Everyone, stay alert! This mission may be even more difficult than we imagined!"
Is something wrong?
Seeing that everyone looked serious, Lu Yuan couldn't help but ask in confusion.
Hear this.
Yang Lin patiently began to explain.
"Mr. Lu may never have left Yandu City, so he is unaware of the surrounding situation."
"The Scorching Sun Forest is only 20 kilometers away from Yandu. There are many beast tamers coming and going, so it is difficult to see demonic beasts of the Earth Spirit level or above. These demonic beasts will not leave the Scorching Sun Forest."
"But along the way, we've already encountered several monsters in this vehicle alone. That jackal even blocked the way for the off-road vehicle, which was really abnormal."
"It seems that the situation inside the Scorching Sun Forest may be even more dangerous."
After hearing Yang Lin's explanation, Lu Yuan finally understood why everyone's expressions had suddenly become serious.
Thinking back to what Yang Lin and the others had said before they set off, an idea suddenly popped into Lu Yuan's mind.
"So you suspect that the changes in the Scorching Sun Forest are likely related to the tiger beast we are about to hunt?"
“That’s right.” Yang Lin nodded. “However, these are all just guesses. We’ll only know the truth after we investigate the Scorching Sun Forest.”
While the two were talking.
The entrance to the Scorching Sun Forest can already be seen in the distance.
Du Pengyi did not slow down and drove the car directly into the entrance.
At this moment.
Other people's voices also came through the walkie-talkie in Yang Lin's hand.
"The Vanguard Team One has entered the Scorching Sun Forest."
"As planned, we will proceed towards our target location!"
