Hiring a Killer

"To advance to the Awakening level, one needs to enter the Voodoo Forest and contract a second beast. Is this guy surnamed Su really from a powerful family?"

"It seems that Su Yuan is just a guy with passable talent."

"If he truly had some powerful background, his family would have already prepared suitable beasts for him; why would he need to go to the Voodoo Forest to contract beasts himself!"

"In that case, let this brat die in the Voodoo Forest."

"Go and arrange for men to enter the Voodoo Forest. Make sure you kill that kid and ensure he can never leave the Voodoo Forest again."

"Remember to do it cleanly, don't leave any evidence!"

After listening to his subordinate's account, Yang Di immediately whispered to the subordinate beside him.

As he spoke, Yang Di took out an anonymous gold card and handed it to his subordinate.

He wanted Su Yuan to die in the Voodoo Forest, but he couldn't let his own people do it; he could only hire someone to kill him.

"Yes, sir!"

Upon hearing Yang Di's words, a cold glint flashed in the subordinate's eyes, and he immediately bowed in agreement.

He then took the gold card that Yang Di had given him and left the room.

"A kid who has just advanced to the Awakening level, no matter how talented you are, will surely die if surrounded and attacked by multiple high-level Awakening Beast Tamers!"

"Anyone who tries to steal a woman from me, Yang Di, will die!"

As Yang Di watched his subordinate leave, a sinister smile appeared on his face, and he said in a low voice.

The thought of Su Yuan chatting and laughing intimately with Huangfu Yunzhao filled him with extreme displeasure.

Especially since Su Yuan also possessed a handsome face that made him feel ashamed of his own appearance, this drove the eldest son of the Yang family mad with jealousy.

An hour later, under Yang Di's secret arrangement.

Three figures appeared at the entrance to the Voodoo Jungle Secret Realm.

Each of them exuded a powerful aura, clearly indicating that they were all Beast Tamers who had reached the ninth level of Awakening.

"Boss, we've really struck it rich this time. The head of a kid who just entered the Awakening level is worth 200 million in bounty."

"Once we pull off this job, the bounty will be enough to keep the three of us brothers happy for a year, hahahaha."

The three stood at the entrance to the Voodoo Jungle, where a short, stocky, dark-skinned, bald man laughed loudly.

At the same time, he was holding a tablet in his hand, which displayed Su Yuan's portrait.

"Hmph, you're just driven by lust."

"With this reward money, the three of us brothers can easily purchase a batch of beast evolution materials to allow our beasts to evolve. At that time, advancing to the level of extraordinary beast tamers will definitely not be a problem."

"Once all of us brothers advance to the Transcendent Beast Tamer level, making money will be much easier than it is now!"

Upon hearing the short, stocky, bald man's words, the tall, bald middle-aged man next to him reached out and smacked the short, stocky bald man on the head, saying irritably.

"Yes, yes, brother is right. I was short-sighted."

Faced with the tall bald man's lecture, the short, stocky bald man was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and admitted that he was short-sighted.

"Alright, eldest brother, third brother, our target has been in the Voodoo Jungle for almost two hours now, let's not waste any more time outside."

"Go in and find that kid as soon as possible and take him out, lest things get complicated."

Hearing the two arguing, the black-haired man next to the tall bald man frowned and looked towards the entrance of the Voodoo Jungle Secret Realm, and whispered to the two.

"Second brother is right, let's go in now!"

Upon hearing this, the tall, bald man immediately nodded and then led the two of them into the entrance to the secret realm.

The Voodoo Jungle is filled with poisonous gas.

A green miasma enveloped the entire secret realm.

After entering the Voodoo Forest, Su Yuan took one of the antidote pills given to him by Huangfu Yunzhao before traversing this secret realm.

With the help of his divine eye, Su Yuan discovered that everything in the secret realm, from flowers and trees to snakes, insects, and rodents, carried a significant amount of toxins.

"This place is truly a paradise for poisonous creatures; poisonous things are everywhere."

"No wonder this place is called the Voodoo Jungle."

"I never expected that the fire element aura on Xiao Yan's body could actually repel these poisonous miasmas. Now it seems that the poison-avoiding pills are useless."

"It seems that my decision to contract a fire-attribute beast before this was the right one."

"If it were Xiao Xuan or Xiao You, the two beasts, in this Voodoo Forest, they would also have to take antidote pills to walk in this Voodoo Forest."

Above the Voodoo Jungle, Su Yuan stood on Xiao Yan's back, letting Xiao Yan carry him through the air.

Looking down at the jungle below, Su Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

Beside Xiao Yan, a dense fire element surrounded them, and the scorching aura burned away all the poisonous miasma around them.

A non-toxic space several meters in size was formed around Xiao Yan.

That's why Su Yuan made that remark just now.

What Su Yuan didn't know was that even in this Voodoo Forest, ordinary fire-attribute beasts couldn't make the poisonous miasma around their bodies disappear.

Xiao Yan can dispel the miasma around its body with the fire element around its body, in addition to the fact that Xiao Yan is a perfect five-star high-quality fire attribute beast.

This is also closely related to the three high-level fourth-tier Sacred Flame Fruits it had previously consumed in the Molten Mountains.

It was the three high-grade fourth-tier Sacred Fire Fruits that enhanced Xiao Yan's flame power, making the fire element within its body even purer.

This allowed Xiao Yan to dispel the surrounding poisonous miasma simply by relying on the fire element surrounding him.

Whoosh!

Just as Xiao Yan was carrying Su Yuan, they were flying leisurely through the air above the Voodoo Jungle Secret Realm, passing through a dense forest.

Several dark green vines, shrouded in poisonous mist, burst forth from the jungle below like octopus tentacles, sweeping towards Su Yuan and Xiao Yan.

hum! ! !

Faced with the sudden attack, a crimson spherical flame suddenly rose up around Xiao Yan, enveloping both him and Su Yuan.

It was Xiao Yan's skill, "Flame Shield".

blah blah blah...

The moment the fire shield was formed, these vines attacked it.

However, these powerful vine spikes, strong enough to shatter steel plates, failed to break through Xiao Yan's flame shield and were blocked by it.

Moreover, the intense heat of the fire shield caused the vines to hiss and crackle.

Puffs of dark green smoke rose from the contact surface between the vines and the fire shield.

In the blink of an eye, a large portion of the once-fierce vines were burned to charcoal.

Whoosh whoosh—

The sneak attack failed, and the attackers were burned by the intense heat of the fire shield.

Like startled birds, the vines no longer cared about attacking Su Yuan and Xiao Yan, and quickly retreated.

"Hey!"

As the vines retracted, Xiao Yan let out a shriek.

It wouldn't let this guy who ambushed it get away with it.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up as it stared at the rapidly shrinking vines below. Two scorching red rays shot out from its eyes and flew towards the jungle below.
