112: Chapter 112 I don't need to give you face

"Cap—Captain, what should we—do now?"

A team member asked with a trembling voice, watching the receding figures of Chen Yi and his group.

Wang Ruochen clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Giving him face and he doesn't want it, damn it!"

He finally couldn't suppress it anymore and slammed a punch into a giant tree nearby.

The team members behind him were as quiet as cicadas in winter, not even daring to breathe loudly.

"Brother Wang, calm down."

A Contracted Spirit Beast braced himself and advised cautiously, "That kind of person doesn't know the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth; he'll stumble sooner or later! We should... think about what to do next?"

"What to do?"

Wang Ruochen whipped his head around, "What else can we do? Without that guy named Chen, with just us few pieces of trash, we're just seeking death in this ghostly place. Didn't you see how fierce those girls around him are? And he himself is a monster!"

Everyone fell silent, completely speechless.

It was true; in their current state, if they encountered that zombie again, they would surely die!

But... they had finally reached the heart of the secret realm, and they were just going to quit like this?

They would probably regret it for a lifetime!

A fierce light flashed in Wang Ruochen's eyes as he whispered, "Damn it, if it weren't for that old geezer—"

He knew better than anyone how much fluff there was to his proud identity as the grandson of Wang Shihao, one of the Seven Dragon Generals, but he hadn't actually lied about it.

His mother was indeed General Wang Shihao's daughter, but she was the old general's greatest shame in this life!

Years ago, the old General Wang had carefully selected a Beast Tamer with a promising future for her to contract with, hoping his daughter would become a great help.

As it turned out, while the contract was still active, his dear mother couldn't endure the loneliness and was coaxed by a smooth-talking scumbag, giving birth to him, Wang Ruochen!

Upon learning of this, old General Wang was furious, viewing it as a humiliating disgrace.

He publicly announced the severance of their father-daughter relationship, never to associate again!

His mother's contract was also terminated by her Beast Tamer, and she was kicked out, eventually dying in misery, unable to bear the humiliation.

As for Wang Ruochen, he used the title of Wang Shihao's grandson to swindle and bluff, relying on boasting and sycophancy to cozy up to some second and third-rate factions to obtain resources.

He could be considered to have made a decent life for himself!

However, the good times didn't last.

Not long ago, his biggest sugar daddy found out through some channel that he was just an illegitimate son completely abandoned by the Wang family!

The other party was enraged, feeling fooled and cheated. They not only kicked him away immediately and cut off all resource supplies but also used their influence to blackball him completely!

Whenever he tried to find a new backer, the other party would immediately spill the beans on his dirty laundry.

Overnight, he fell from the clouds into the mire.

Friends who used to call him brother avoided him like the plague, and enemies who coveted his resources kicked him while he was down.

With no way out, he took a desperate risk, bringing his last bit of family assets and manpower to this Five Elements Secret Realm to try his luck, hoping to find valuable treasures to make a comeback.

By sheer luck, he followed others to find the heart of the secret realm and waited several days for it to finally open!

He thought his luck had finally turned for the better, a windfall from heaven, but then this happened—

He finally met a Beast Tamer who didn't know his situation, was strong, looked young, and didn't seem to have much guile, thinking he could use his status to pressure them and get a share.

But who the hell would have thought this guy was so arrogant, acting like a big shot and completely ignoring them?

This was truly fucked up.

Do young people nowadays not even respect the Seven Dragon Generals anymore?

"Dammit, what kind of person is this—"

"Hubby—"

Wang Ruochen's Contracted Spirit Beast, Wang Zihan, leaned in, "Don't ruin your health over anger; it's not worth getting mad at that kind of person!"

Wang Ruochen irritably brushed her hand away: "Not get mad? Then tell me, what should I do? Just watch that guy Chen hog all the resources?"

A cold light flashed in Wang Zihan's eyes as she leaned closer and lowered her voice, "Hubby, did you... see that just now?"

Wang Ruochen snapped back, "See what?"

"space rings!"

Wang Zihan said with a solemn face, "That guy Chen, and that vixen next to him, both have space rings on their hands!"

"Although I don't know the exact volume, they definitely hold much more than the large and small bags we're carrying!"

"Also, looking at how they were picking and choosing at the mountain peak area earlier, not taking ordinary stuff—I bet this Chen Yi has very comprehensive knowledge of various heaven and earth spiritual treasures!"

Wang Ruochen's pupils shrank suddenly.

space rings!

It was one thing for Chen Yi to have one, but even his Contracted Spirit Beast had one?

What the hell was this guy's background?

But immediately, an even stronger greed instantly overwhelmed his doubts.

Wang Zihan continued to entice him: "Hubby, think about it! Once that kid has scoured the entire heart of the secret realm for heaven and earth spiritual treasures, we can use that... and play the oriole behind the mantis!"

"As long as we succeed, those two space rings and all the treasures inside will be ours!"

"It'll be enough for us to live happily for the rest of our lives! Even... enough for you to rise again and make all those who looked down on us pay the price!"

Hearing this, a hint of hesitation flashed in Wang Ruochen's eyes: "That's my only trump card! If I use that thing and an enemy comes looking for me, what will I do? Besides, that thing—"

Before he could finish, his other Contracted Spirit Beast, Lin Xiaoyu, leaned in.

"You can't catch the wolf without sacrificing the child!"

She gave a cold smile with her pretty face, her gaze falling on those two teams of Indians, "As for that thing—aren't there ready-made spirit beasts right here? We just need to get on good terms with them—"

Under the dual offensive of Lin Xiaoyu and Wang Zihan, the hesitation in Wang Ruochen's heart finally vanished completely.

This was a huge gamble!

As long as it succeeded, the rest of his life would be completely worry-free!

And the success rate was actually very high!

"Fine!"

Wang Ruochen spat out the word heavily, a twisted and hideous smile appearing on his face, "Let's do it! Chen Yi, since you won't give me face, then I don't need to give you face either!"

---

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Unlike the false pretenses of Wang Ruochen and his group.

After breaking away from those burdens, Chen Yi's group had a clear goal and incredible efficiency, heading straight back to the core area of the Flame Forest.

"Brother Chen Yi, where do we start?"

Su Taotao looked around curiously, her small face full of excitement.

She had an almost blind trust in Chen Yi, as if as long as Chen Yi was there, this extremely dangerous Flame Forest was like her own back garden, and there was no need to worry about any trouble!

"Wait a moment, let me see—"

Just as Chen Yi was about to take out the treasure seeking compass from his space ring.

Suddenly, the system's prompt sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Detected that the Host possesses a treasure-seeking tool—treasure seeking compass!]

[The number of heaven and earth spiritual treasures in this area is vast, which can easily cause the treasure seeking compass to misjudge, leading to trouble for the Host!]

[The system recommends that the Host consume 50 Enhancement Points to completely refine the treasure seeking compass and learn the skill—Treasure Seeking Eye!]

[This skill can perceive the location of various hidden treasures and detect all traps!]

[Does the Host wish to learn?]
