His strength attribute isn't high, but he can easily carry a rabbit.
"Let's go do the experiment."
The two returned the way they came and then cautiously approached the lake.
Jiang Wuyuan took out a piece of rope from his backpack, tied one end to the giant rabbit's hind leg, and then threw the giant rabbit directly into the lake.
Upon entering the water, the giant rabbit instantly regained its senses. It roared and struggled, but then slowly stopped moving, appearing rather weak.
Seeing that the giant rabbit was sinking and about to drown, Jiang Wuyuan reached out and pulled the rope, bringing it back to the shore.
"Something's strange. It feels like it's been poisoned." Huo Ling looked at the giant rabbit's reaction and scratched his chin in confusion.
Just then, Jiang Wuyuan's gaze suddenly fell on the bushes to the side.
"The three of you, why don't you come out and meet us?"
The person hiding behind the bushes was slightly taken aback.
Yang Tianci, who was leading the group, smiled and emerged from the bushes, walking towards Jiang Wuyuan.
"We were discovered."
He appeared to be around the same age as Jiang Wuyuan, with a gentle smile on his refined and scholarly face that made people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.
"Are you two also taking the college entrance exam this year?"
Yang Tianci did not look down on Jiang Wuyuan and Huo Ling just because they were students.
On the contrary, the fact that high school seniors could traverse from the jungle to this point is enough to prove their strength.
Jiang Wuyuan slightly stepped aside to block Huo Ling, looking calmly at Yang Tianci: "What is it?"
"Don't worry, gentlemen, I'm here to exchange information." Yang Tianci shrugged. "My name is Yang Tianci, and I am the second young master of the Yang family in Shanhai City. I have no ill intentions towards you."
The Yang family is a well-known name.
One-third of the industries in Shanhai City were founded by the Yang family.
It can be said that the Yang family holds a pivotal position in Shanhai City.
Furthermore, the head of the Yang family is a Martial Emperor, whose strength is second only to the city lord of Shanhai City.
Huo Ling stood behind Jiang Wuyuan, racking his brains, but he really couldn't remember where he had heard the name Yang Tianci before.
The Yang family and their Huo family are absolutely prestigious families in Shanhai City. He had also visited the Yang family's old residence and met members of the main branch of the Yang family.
The head of the Yang family, Yang Shangcheng, has only one daughter named Yang Feiying, who is beautiful and has a forthright personality.
I've never heard of any second young master.
It's probably some distant branch of the Yang family that popped up out of nowhere and is just using the Yang family's name to save face.
A hint of disdain flashed in Huo Ling's eyes, but he didn't say anything more at the moment.
"Intelligence?" Jiang Wuyuan remained expressionless, simply staring directly at the boy opposite him. "What do you need to exchange for it?"
"Haha, you two are indeed clever people," Yang Tianci laughed. "I am very interested in the blood crystals of the magical beasts in this lake. I can share information, but you two must also join my team to fight the enemy together. We can split the spoils 40/60."
Jiang Wuyuan looked at him with a half-smile: "If one martial artist and two martial arts masters can't handle this, it's probably not appropriate for Young Master Yang to come to us two students."
"Well, to be honest, my two teammates and I have been waiting here for a day or two, and we haven't seen anyone else."
However, the monsters in the lake are dangerous; the more people fighting together, the greater the chance of victory.
Yang Tianci looked rather helpless.
Jiang Wuyuan stared at him silently for two seconds, then suddenly smiled and said, "In that case, we can find a place to talk first."
Yang Tianci was taken aback for a moment, then quickly recovered and smiled gently, "With two prodigies joining us, we'll surely achieve twice the result with half the effort. Why don't we go to our campsite and talk things over?"
"Lead the way."
Yang Tianci and the other two nodded and walked ahead, while Jiang Wuyuan led Huo Ling to follow.
Huo Ling hadn't expected things to develop this way. He subtly tugged at Jiang Wuyuan's sleeve, trying to remind him that something was wrong with these people, but Jiang Wuyuan interrupted him with a gesture.
In combat hand signaling terminology, this gesture means to remain silent.
Recalling Jiang Wuyuan's reassuring composure throughout his journey, Huo Ling secretly raised an eyebrow and withdrew his hand.
Continue to remain silent.
Yang Tianci's team camped not too far from the lake, but not too close either, and could vaguely see the vast lake through the gaps in the leaves.
Yang Tianci pulled out a blanket and spread it on the ground, then invited the others to sit down.
"Don't worry, we've cleared out all the monsters around here, it's safe."
Jiang Wuyuan nodded and sat cross-legged on the spot as he suggested.
“It’s normal that the two students don’t know about this lake. I only learned about it from my father by chance a couple of days ago,” Yang Tianci said with a smile. “The water sources on the outer edge of this wilderness area are extremely vast, and some tributaries even flow into the inner perimeter of the wilderness area.”
It's important to know that even the lowest-level magical beasts in the inner perimeter are at least third or fourth tier in strength, making them extremely powerful.
The current owner of this lake is a peak second-tier air jellyfish king, and it is about to break through to the third tier.
As Yang Tianci spoke, he carefully observed the expressions on the two men's faces.
The red-haired boy looked somewhat shocked, but he didn't lose his composure.
The black-haired boy, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, without a trace of unnecessary expression.
Yang Tianci frowned inwardly.
Why would these two react this way upon hearing about a peak second-tier magical beast?
Did he run into a brick wall?
However, upon further reflection, considering their status as students, she felt relieved.
These two probably just don't know how terrifying a peak second-tier magical beast can be.
They killed some first-tier magical beasts, but didn't even care about second-tier magical beasts.
