Chapter 7 The Threat of Beast Tide

Now that his life was guaranteed, Jiang Chen comforted Xiao Hei for a while, and then began to look down at the forest area below.

This forest area has been devastated by giant army ants. There are broken trees, gravel and devastation everywhere.

"Uncle Shi Hao, how come there are so many giant army ants emerging?" Jiang Chen asked. He had never heard of such a large-scale army ant riot before.

Shi Hao's face turned dark when he heard this. He sat on the back of Yufeng Mantis and touched his face. I'm only thirty-one years old! This young man actually called me uncle!

Do you understand what masculinity is? Believe it or not, I asked my little mantis to throw you down!

"Ahem!"

Shi Hao cleared his throat with a dark face and explained: "These giant army ants came from the monster forest outside the city. There may have been changes there, so these giant army ants dug holes collectively and broke into the forest inside the city. district."

As he spoke, Shi Hao took a look at Jiang Chen and saw that he was covered in large and small packages, holding a giant egg in his arms, and a giant python wrapped around his waist...

Shi Hao suddenly felt a toothache. Is this guy a bandit? !

I have never seen such a shameless beast master!

Shouldn't being a beast master be the most noble profession? Why did this guy turn into a famine-stricken bandit?

As the captain of a hunter team, Shi Hao naturally disdained the bargains that Jiang Chen searched for. A random mission for their hunter team would cost at least tens of thousands of alliance coins.

But Jiang Chen remained calm under Shi Hao's strange gaze, thinking about the huge threat this beast tide would bring to Chang'an City.

Generally speaking, ordinary artillery should be able to destroy ordinary-level giant marching ants, but if you want to break through the defense of elite-level giant marching ants, you must use heavy cannons!

Moreover, who knows whether there are warrior-level monsters among those giant army ants!

What’s worse, the queen ant hasn’t even appeared yet!

You know, this is in the city, where weapons of mass destruction cannot be used, and high-level beast masters can only be used to fight against powerful monsters.

Although Jiang Chen does not need to worry about these issues, he and Jiang Xiaoguo live very close to here. If this beast wave spreads, it will easily affect them.

"Uncle Shi Hao, how do the military plan to deal with these giant army ants?" Jiang Chen asked.

Shi Hao looked solemn when he heard this: "The military troops outside the city are quickly returning to the defense and surrounding the giant marching ants. How to deal with them is a military secret. I don't know."

Jiang Chen nodded silently when he heard this. Even if Shi Hao knew the military secrets, he would not tell him.

While speaking, the Wind Controlling Mantis had arrived in the city, and its huge body landed lightly on the ground.

Shi Hao jumped off the beast and said in a deep voice: "Young man, go home quickly. Don't go near this forest area in the near future. It's too dangerous!"

Jiang Chen nodded when he heard this, thanked Shi Hao and rushed home.

Along the way, roars resounded through the sky, and groups of military armored vehicles were rushing towards the back mountain forest area. On the vehicles were medium-sized cannons and a team of military beast masters.

Jiang Chen nodded silently when he saw this. In this era of great catastrophe, only the Chinese Congress is so concerned about the safety of its citizens. It is said that other countries have almost given up on ordinary cities and villages and only defend the capital and central cities because they are where officials gather. .

Nowadays, large numbers of refugees are pouring into China from all directions, and only here can they be given shelter.

When Jiang Chen and Xiao Hei rushed home, Jiang Xiaoguo was looking out the window, his pink and jade face full of eagerness.

Jiang Chen smiled happily when he saw this. It seemed that this little girl had quite a conscience and was so concerned about her brother's safety.

When Jiang Chen and Xiao Hei stepped into the house, Jiang Xiaoguo was already waiting at the door. Her big and bright eyes lit up, and she stretched out her little hand towards Jiang Chen: "Where's the chocolate?"

Jiang Chen's face turned dark when he heard this. The little girl was not waiting for him, but for her chocolate!

"Ahem, something happened today and I didn't have time to buy you chocolates."

Jiang Chen said as he took off the package and python from his body.

But Jiang Xiaoguo was not happy when he heard this, and immediately pouted: "Jiang Chen, you have changed!"

"I haven't changed!" Jiang Chen said with a dark face, "I will send these things to the Beast Control Store in the afternoon, and then I will have money to buy you chocolates!"

"By the way, this is for you to play with." Jiang Chen handed the red giant egg in his arms to Jiang Xiaoguo.

Jiang Xiaoguo looked at it with a reluctant expression on her face: "But I just ate eggs in the morning."

"This is not an egg, it is the egg of a monster. There is a very cute little monster inside!" Jiang Chen said happily.

Speaking of which, Jiang Xiaoguo is almost ten years old and can try to awaken soon and sign a contract as a beast-controlling partner.

From Monday to Friday, Jiang Chen had to go to school, leaving the little girl alone at home, which made her a little uneasy. It would be great if she could sign a contract with a beast to keep her company.

"Wow! Are there really little monsters in there? Monsters like Xiao Hei's?"

When Jiang Xiaoguo heard that it was a monster egg, she immediately happily hugged the giant egg in her arms, her two big eyes showing curiosity.

Then, she hugged the giant egg and ran into bed, pressing her whole body on the giant egg.

Jiang Chen scratched his head when he saw this: "What are you doing? Do you want to sleep again?"

Jiang Xiaoguo replied with a look of disgust: "Brother is stupid, Xiaoguo is hatching eggs!"

Jiang Chen suddenly felt bad. He was hatching an egg. Do you think you are a hen?

He looked at his watch and saw that it was already twelve o'clock noon.

Jiang Chen fried the wild vegetables he picked, steamed the steamed buns, and then took out some wild fruits. The two of them had a simple lunch together.

"Xiaoguo, stay at home and I'll go out and bring you chocolates when I come back!"

Jiang Chen gave Jiang Xiaoguo instructions, and after thinking about it, he left Xiao Hei at home and looked at the little girl.

When Jiang Xiaoguo, who was incubating eggs on the bed, heard this, she poked her little head out of the bed and nodded obediently.

Jiang Chen carried the package and the python and went out. He found that pedestrians on the street were discussing the beast tide in the back mountain forest area. He also heard that the military had completely surrounded the group of giant army ants, but could not completely eliminate them for a while.

Jiang Chen came to the beast-controlling store again and found the cute saleswoman again.

Uh, no, Jiang Chen shook his head, I didn’t come to this beast-taming shop just to see this cute girl!

I'm just here to sell stuff!

The beast control store will regularly purchase goods from the fixed hunter team, and occasionally accept goods from retail customers.

Jiang Chen happily greeted the cute girl, and then placed the mutant plants in his backpack on the counter one by one.

Cordyceps sinensis, bittersweet, fire field seven... are lined up.

"This is Blood Cordyceps, one plant is worth three hundred alliance coins!"

"This is bittersweet, at least two hundred yuan per pound!"

"This is Huo Tianqi, the favorite of fire monsters, five hundred alliance coins! Hehe!"

After checking the goods, the cute salesperson smiled sweetly and said: "Sir, these Cordyceps sinensis costs 200 yuan per catty, bitter nuts cost 100 yuan per catty, Huotian Qiyi plant costs 200 yuan..." ·”

"etc!"

Jiang Chen was stunned when he heard this, and instantly felt that this cute girl was no longer cute: "Isn't this blood cordyceps three hundred yuan per catty? And this bitter nut, it should be two hundred yuan per catty!"

The cute girl shook her head happily when she heard this and explained patiently: "You said the selling price, but we receive the goods according to the purchase price."

Jiang Chen suddenly felt a toothache. This was too dark. Every time he collected and sold, the net profit would be a hundred alliance coins per catty!

But there is no way, who can let people have a business license? These bulk goods can only be sold to these regular beast-control shops.

In the end, the cute girl calculated and paid Jiang Chen a total of 3,600 alliance coins.

Jiang Chen held the money in his hands, but his heart was bleeding. He had lost at least more than two thousand yuan!

He secretly made up his mind that he would form his own hunter team and open his own beast-control shop in the future. This would be such a huge profit!

Oh, of course, we also need to hire a cute girl to be a salesperson.

No, ten!

Ten cute girl sales assistants!
