Chapter 42

An Opportunity Delivered to Your Doorstep? What a stroke of luck!

"There's someone there."

At the same time that the two discovered Su Yuan and Xiao Yan, Su Yuan also noticed two figures in the valley.

"Xiao Yan, be careful, watch out for these human beast tamers."

Upon seeing the two, Su Yuan whispered to Xiao Yan.

In the wild, danger comes not only from ferocious beasts, but also from unfamiliar beast tamers.

Sometimes, human beast tamers are in more danger than wild beasts when they are out in the wild.

Hearing Su Yuan's reminder, Xiao Yan nodded, his eyes also filled with vigilance as he stared at the man and woman not far away.

At that moment, the two below summoned their flying beasts and flew towards Su Yuan.

"Two flying beasts, one awakened to the sixth rank and the other to the seventh rank. Both of them have C-level talent. If they join forces, their strength is no weaker than mine."

Su Yuan watched as the two people's beasts flew over, and with a single glance, he instantly understood all the information about their beasts.

His divine eye also recognized their talents.

Having ascertained the strength of the two, Su Yuan also had Xiao Yan let out a highly threatening hiss, warning the other party not to approach any further.

At the same time, it was also a deliberate act to let Xiao Yan release the aura of his fourth-level awakening.

"Awakened to a fourth-tier beast tamer. Although we don't know the quality of this guy's beast, we two can easily handle a mere fourth-tier awakened beast tamer!"

Sensing the awakened fourth-tier aura emanating from Xiao Yan, the two beast tamers thought to themselves.

Seeing the wary look on Su Yuan's face, the man on the left immediately smiled kindly and waved to Su Yuan:

"Brother, there's no need to be so nervous. My sister and I have come here because we have a special opportunity to share with you!"

"We've discovered a priceless treasure. How about we join forces and split it equally?"

As they spoke, the two of them had already surrounded Su Yuan from both sides.

"To divide the treasure equally?"

"Oh……"

Upon hearing the man's words, Su Yuan sneered inwardly.

There is no such thing as lunch falling from the sky.

If there were any benefits, even he would never share them with strangers.

Su Yuan would never believe what the stranger in front of him said.

Moreover, the other party had already surrounded him from the left and right, and this posture did not seem like they wanted to share the benefits with him at all.

"The two of them must have been waiting here for quite some time. They didn't attack me directly, so they're probably not the kind of people who would rob me on the road."

"Perhaps, just as the two of them said, there really is some treasure ahead."

Surrounded by the two, Su Yuan did not panic, but instead lowered his head and pondered.

He then looked ahead in the direction where the two had originally been.

The Heavenly Eye pierced through the layers of poisonous fog in the valley, allowing Su Yuan to see everything clearly, even a thousand meters away.

[Poison Soul Fruit Tree: A fifth-tier, low-level rare and precious natural treasure, capable of nurturing the fourth-tier, low-level rare and precious natural treasure, 'Poison Soul Fruit'. It ripens once every three years, yielding one hundred fruits at a time.]

[Poison Soul Fruit (Ripe): A fourth-tier, low-level rare natural treasure, a rare poison-type spiritual fruit that can help poison-type ferocious beasts complete their evolution, greatly enhancing their strength.]

Soon, a black fruit tree that was over ten meters tall came into Su Yuan's view.

On this black fruit tree, there were dozens or even hundreds of palm-sized, dark red fruits with gray stripes on their skin.

It was the fourth-tier, low-level rare and precious material, the "Poison Soul Fruit".

"There's a Poison Soul Fruit tree up ahead, and it's got so many ripe Poison Soul Fruits on it!"

"Could the opportunity these two were talking about be that Poison Soul Fruit tree a thousand meters away?"

"If that's the case, then it really is a great opportunity."

After Su Yuan spotted the Poison Soul Fruit tree a kilometer away, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

A Tier 4 low-grade Poison Soul Fruit is no less valuable than a rare-quality Beast Taming Egg, although it is not as valuable as the Sacred Fire Fruit that Su Yuan obtained in the Molten Fire Mountains.

However, a single Poison Soul Fruit can be worth as much as four million Federal Credits on the market.

According to Su Yuan's estimation, there were at least sixty Poison Soul Fruits on the Poison Soul Fruit tree in front of them.

All the Poison Soul Fruits combined amounted to nearly 250 million Federal Credits.

Two hundred and fifty million Federal Credits is a huge fortune for any Awakened-level Beastmaster, enough to drive them crazy.

But Su Yuan quickly calmed down.

"No, if the two people in front of us had really found that Poison Soul Fruit tree, they would have picked all the Poison Soul Fruits from it long ago."

"They haven't made a move yet, there must be something blocking their way, preventing them from successfully harvesting those Poison Soul Fruits!"

"The places where I found Sacred Fire Fruit in the Molten Mountains were guarded by Netherfire Serpents. This Poison Soul Fruit Tree is even more precious than the Sacred Fire Fruit, so it must also have a guardian beast."

"A ferocious beast that can deter even a sixth-level awakened beast master and a seventh-level awakened beast master from acting rashly must be of extraordinary strength."

After calming down, Su Yuan quickly realized that there must be a powerful ferocious beast guarding the vicinity of the Poison Soul Fruit Tree, which was why the two of them dared not approach it easily.

Then, Su Yuan continued to use his Heavenly Eye to look around the Poison Soul Fruit Tree.

He soon discovered something was amiss.

Near the Poison Soul Fruit Tree, a kilometer ahead, lies a swamp covering tens of thousands of square meters.

Su Yuan, through his divine eye of enlightenment, discovered that beneath the swamps emitting poisonous smoke and bubbles, lurked a swarm of calf-sized toads.

"Good heavens, I knew those two wouldn't dare make a move. There are so many awakened-level swamp poisonous frogs guarding this Poison Soul Fruit tree!"

Upon discovering the swamp poison frogs lurking beneath the swamp near the Poison Soul Fruit Tree, Su Yuan's spirits lifted.

Then he looked at the two people on his left and right, and after a careful look, he found that their clothes were stained with swamp grime.

Clearly, the two had already tried to pick the Poison Soul Fruit from the center of the swamp.

However, judging from their appearance and the fact that both of their beasts were slightly injured, their mission had probably failed.

"Having waited so long, what does this brother think of my suggestion?"

Seeing that Su Yuan did not answer and even kept looking at him and his sister, the leading man remained silent for a long time before speaking to Su Yuan with some impatience.
