Chapter 836 The Hungry Behemoth
Zhang Xiao’s idea was good, but unfortunately he underestimated the Tyrant Behemoth’s appetite. He originally thought that after eating on the first day, the Tyrant Behemoth would definitely need a few days to rest and digest.
Who knew that every two days Tyrant Behemoth had no intention of resting at all, and continued to eat, and the amount he ate was even more than the first day.
"I should be almost full this time, right?" Zhang Xiao already felt something was wrong.
But the Tyrant Behemoth continued to eat on the third day. It was like an insatiable black hole, constantly devouring the magic stone.
In just three days, the magic stone proliferation problem that had been plaguing the Zhang family was solved by Tyrant Behemoth.
But Zhang Xiao couldn't be happy. The problem of magic stone was temporarily solved, but how was he going to feed the tyrant Behemoth?
There is still almost a month left before the auction. The thought of Tyrant Behemoth eating like this every day makes his legs weak. How many vitality crystals does he need to get to feed Tyrant Behemoth?
"I don't believe that the Tyrant Behemoth doesn't need to digest. It has eaten so many magic stones, it must need time to digest. Even if it is not fed for ten days or half a month, it should not be hungry." Zhang Xiao still had a lucky mentality.
But soon, Zhang Xiao found that he was too naive.
After only half a day without being fed, Zhang Xiao discovered that Tyrant Behemoth showed the hunger symptoms that Zhou Wen mentioned.
Zhang Xiao gritted his teeth and took out the dimensional crystals from his small treasury to feed the Tyrant Behemoth. As a result, he used up half of the small treasury before the hunger symptoms on the Tyrant Behemoth disappeared.
Zhang Xiao's face looked extremely ugly. With the way Tyrant Behemoth ate, his small treasury could only feed it for four or five days at most. But what would he do after four or five days?
Zhang Xiao suddenly realized that he might have fallen into Zhou Wen's trap. Zhou Wen said that he would feed him at least until he left Longhu Mountain. How could Zhang Xiao have so many multi-dimensional crystals to feed Tyrant Behemoth?
"That's not right. The Tyrant Behemoth eats so much, how can Zhou Wen afford to feed it? If I can't even afford it, Zhou Wen can't afford it even more." Zhang Xiao felt that Zhou Wen must have some way to prevent the Tyrant Behemoth from eating, such as letting the Tyrant Behemoth sleep to reduce consumption.
But Zhang Xiao didn't know what to do, so he could only go to Zhang Chunqiu to discuss it.
After hearing what Zhang Xiao said, Zhang Chunqiu shook his head and said, "What else can we do? We have to apologize and ask them to take Tyrant Behemoth back. What else can we do? You don't really want to keep it for a month, do you? Anyway, I won't lend you the Dimension Crystal."
"What I mean is, there must be some way to stop the Tyrant Behemoth from eating. Otherwise, no one can bear its appetite, and Zhou Wen can't feed it like this every day. Do you think there is any way?" Zhang Xiao was too proud to do that.
"I have no choice. You can go ask Zhou Wen." Zhang Chunqiu said, spreading his hands.
Even someone as resourceful as Zhang Chunqiu was helpless. Zhang Xiao was dumbfounded. However, he couldn't bring himself to apologize to Zhou Wen.
"I just don't believe that Zhou Wen can raise it but I can't. There must be a way." Zhang Xiao took the Tyrant Behemoth back to find a solution.
But if you can't feed him, he can't be fed. Tyrant Behemoth's appetite is real, and there is no such thing as empty promises.
Zhang Xiao thought of many ways, and even wanted to hypnotize the Tyrant Behemoth to make it fall asleep temporarily.
But it was useless. Even if he fell asleep, the hunger symptoms on Tyrant Behemoth would still appear. As soon as the symptoms appeared, Zhou Wen would definitely sense it.
Zhang Xiao really couldn't afford to lose face, so whenever Tyrant Behemoth was hungry, he had no choice but to feed him. After a few days, his small treasury was emptied, and he had no choice but to borrow money.
Zhang Xiao is a man who cares about his reputation. He would rather sell everything he has than send Zhou Wen away. He absolutely cannot send him back now.
However, Zhang Xiao was regretting it so much in his heart. If he had known that Tyrant Behemoth was such a big eater, he would never have agreed to help Zhou Wen raise it even if he was beaten to death.
Now, whenever he saw Tyrant Behemoth, he felt a chill in his heart, and his legs went weak whenever Tyrant Behemoth moved.
"This isn't even a companion pet, it's a bottomless pit. How on earth did that bastard Zhou Wen raise it to the mythical level?" Zhang Xiao felt extremely depressed.
However, he also knew that Zhou Wen must have invested a huge amount of money. Even if there was a way to make the Tyrant Behemoth starve after being promoted to a myth, a large amount of resources must be invested before the promotion.
The amount of this resource is unimaginable.
Zhou Wen stayed at the Tianshi Mansion at night these days and went for a walk nearby during the day, mainly to let Liuyun find him. Unfortunately, he never saw Liuyun, which made Zhou Wen a little worried. He wondered if Liuyun was really killed by Yaer.
When he returned to the Tianshi Mansion in the evening, he found that Zhang Chunqiu was actually sitting in the garden that he had to pass through, and it seemed that he was waiting for him.
"Looking for me?" Zhou Wen walked over and asked when he saw Zhang Chunqiu standing up.
Zhang Chunqiu handed a small lacquer box to Zhou Wen: "This is the fate-defying talisman we agreed on earlier."
"Didn't I already promise Zhang Xiao to lend him the Tyrant Behemoth for free? You don't have to give me this." Zhou Wen said.
Zhang Chunqiu smiled and said, "Zhang Xiao was wrong in this matter. I apologize to you on his behalf. Take the Fate-Defying Talisman. Here's a little something as a token of my appreciation. For Yuzhi's sake, how about we let this matter go?"
"You're too kind. Disputes between young people are inevitable. I'll accept the Fate-Defying Talisman, but I won't need the others. I'll also take back the Tyrant Behemoth right away, and pretend nothing happened." Zhou Wen said.
"Don't take it back yet. Let Zhang Xiao feed it for two more days. Suffering a small loss may not be a bad thing." Zhang Chunqiu said.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you." Zhou Wen took the box containing the fate-defying talisman and said.
Zhang Chunqiu, however, forced another box onto Zhou Wen. "Take this too. It has nothing to do with anything else. Consider it a small token of my appreciation. You might need it during the auction."
"Then I'll accept it." Zhou Wen did not refuse.
After chatting for a few words, Zhang Chunqiu left for something. Zhou Wen returned to the room and opened both boxes. In one of them was a talisman that could defy fate, and in the other box was a card. The card was carved from jade, the size of a business card, without any patterns, only two words "Tianshi" engraved on the front.
"What's the use of this thing?" Zhou Wen looked at it over and over for a long time and found that it was just an ordinary jade carving, not a dimensional object.
Inside the villa in Longhu Town, Moses and others were discussing something.
"We are determined to capture the Earth Beast. If we can't capture it, we will have to resort to forceful means." The old man said, looking at Moses, "Be prepared. You may be called upon to intervene."
Moses smiled and said, "My guardians and I are ready and can take action at any time."
"Let's wait until the auction comes out. After all, Longhu Mountain is the Zhang family's place. Even if we want to take action, we have to wait until the items leave Longhu Mountain." said the old man.
