On the grass, Lu Chengchuan's mind quickly scanned the surroundings.
This patch of grass looked like a dead place. Apart from a few small insects, there were no other living creatures within a radius of dozens of kilometers. The situation was so strange that Lu Chengchuan didn't dare to be careless.
“Ouch!”
Just as he was about to walk out of the grassland, a roar like that of a cow and a tiger came from several kilometers away.
When Lu Chengchuan heard the monster's roar, his expression changed slightly.
His mental power did not detect the monster there, but now he heard the sound of a monster. If there really was a monster, it would not be detected by his mental power. This was not good for him.
Rushing out of the bushes, Lu Chengchuan looked in the direction where the sound came from.
He ran a few hundred meters and soon saw a monster flying in the sky. There were a dozen people running on the ground. The monster was chasing those people, and soon several people died in the monster's attack.
A snake-like monster with two claws flying in the air, the horn on its head flashing white light, and its mouth constantly spewing lightning downwards.
The dozen or so people on the ground had no ability to resist, and five or six of them died in the blink of an eye. The remaining people fled in panic, hoping that the monster would not find them.
Lu Chengchuan did not rush forward to save people. He knew these people and there was no need for him to be a good person.
He looked at the monster in the sky and felt the breath it exuded. It was at least a level four monster. After searching for so many days, he finally encountered a powerful monster.
Lu Chengchuan ran forward wildly, and soon, several super-powered people who were being chased by monsters saw him rushing towards them, and a glimmer of hope appeared on their faces.
Anyone who dares to rush up at this time must be a strong person.
They were originally doomed to die, but now there is a glimmer of hope, which they couldn't ask for more.
Just as several people were about to escape, Lu Chengchuan suddenly stopped and a black figure appeared behind him. The monster in the sky was still spewing lightning, and it did not take Lu Chengchuan seriously.
The advanced monster possessed extremely high intelligence. It did not sense the superpowers in Lu Chengchuan's body and thought he was just an ordinary person who was not afraid of death.
But the moment the black figure appeared, the monster felt a powerful force pressing down on it, and it mobilized its internal strength to resist it. But after only a second, the force completely suppressed it.
The lightning in the sky exploded before it could even be spewed out. The monster let out a wail and fell heavily to the ground.
The people who were running away heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground. They looked back and found that the Thunder Beast had fallen to the ground. It was lying in the big hole it had dug, and it looked like it was dead.
They suddenly forgot to run away and stood there watching Lu Chengchuan walk to the Thunder Beast.
"I've truly met a strong person."
All sorts of thoughts flashed through their minds as they watched someone use a blood-red sword to cut open the Thunder Beast's body and take out a crystal several times larger than a fist.
The transparent crystal contained tremendous energy, and the people more than ten meters away could not take their eyes off it.
"You guys aren't leaving yet?"
The gazes of several people were too obvious. Lu Chengchuan took the crystal in his hand, turned around and asked them why they didn't leave.
His words woke up the shocked people. Looking at the Thunder Beast that died inexplicably, several people trembled and turned around and ran away without saying anything.
They naturally wanted the crystal of the Thunder Beast, but the reality was that the mysterious strong man in front of them could kill the Thunder Beast with ease, so it would be even easier for him to kill them.
Putting aside their greed, several people ran quickly to the other side.
Lu Chengchuan took out the monster encyclopedia and searched for information related to the monster.
"Thunder Beast, a level 4 monster..."
He quickly found information about the monster: this Thunder Beast was fifty meters long and already an adult. Its single horn could effectively control the power of lightning, which was the proof the military needed.
This horn is two meters long and is very valuable, or rather, the materials of every level four monster are very valuable.
The Thunder Beast gave him sixty-eight years of life, and with this crystal, this trip was quite fruitful.
This is indeed a world of monsters. He encountered a level four monster after only ten days here. This is much better than being in the desert. This place is really suitable for him.
After putting away the crystal and the unicorn horn, Lu Chengchuan continued to dissect the corpse of the Thunder Beast.
Its skin and scales are also expensive protective materials. I wonder how many sets of armor can be made from this skin.
After he carefully cut it, a whole piece of green scaly skin was spread on the ground. When he rolled up the skin, Lu Chengchuan got a huge bundle of fur.
He took off dozens of pounds of meat and returned to the fortress city with a bunch of things.
Lu Chengchuan, carrying a bunch of things, was very conspicuous in the wilderness. He encountered many monsters and super-powered mercenaries along the way. Those monsters became his lifespan, and the mercenaries only dared to watch from a distance and did not dare to approach.
Profits make people blind, and everyone in their line of work knows this.
Although the things are good, they need to be enjoyed by someone famous. The other party must be stronger than them to get such good things. If they go to rob them, they will probably lose their lives.
Lu Chengchuan walked for six days and six nights and finally returned to the fortress city with his belongings.
As he approached the fortress, countless eyes stopped on him. The huge pile of furs behind him was too conspicuous, not something that ordinary monsters could possess.
"This is...Thunder Beast Hide!"
Some sharp-eyed people noticed the clues and were also very surprised.
Level 4 monsters were rare. Even during a massive monster wave, there would only be seven or eight. Normally, it was rare for anyone to bring back Level 4 monster materials.
"Hurry back to the caravan and ask them to prepare the money quickly."
Seeing Lu Chengchuan pulling things into the city, some people immediately went to prepare. They were all from the mainland chamber of commerce, and they came here specifically to purchase various monster materials.
In addition to the army, there are also many private chambers of commerce in the fortress city. They sell various daily necessities and purchase various materials.
The people from the Chamber of Commerce sat at the city gate all day long, just to see what the mercenaries brought back.
Ignoring the noisy crowd, Lu Chengchuan brought the things to the door of the quartermaster department. When the soldiers from the quartermaster department saw Lu Chengchuan coming, they ran out on their own initiative.
"Sir, do you want to claim the reward?"
Looking at the rolled-up Thunder Beast Skin, the soldier's voice trembled a little.
"Do you accept this?"
Lu Chengchuan pointed at the thunder beast skin behind him. It was too big and he didn't want to pull it back.
"We'll take it! We'll take any monster material! Please follow me. This thing is too valuable. I need to report to the commander. Please wait a moment."
The soldier politely led the man to the innermost part, where he was the only one with his belongings.
After waiting for a few minutes, a man wearing animal skin armor ran in. He first glanced at Lu Chengchuan, and then was attracted by the thunder animal skin beside him.
"It's really the Thunder Beast hide, it looks very complete..."
The man reached out and touched the animal hide, reluctant to let go. After a while, he remembered Lu Chengchuan.
"Sir, are you going to sell it?" The man looked at Lu Chengchuan, a hint of confusion flashed across his face, but business was important now, and he didn't think too much about it.
