76: Chapter 75: The Heart of Greed (Third Update)_1

“Sir!” Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow couldn’t help but say, “Why insist on this?

The Imperial Court didn’t command us to explore Burning Hillock, it’s enough for us to stop those greedy bunch, we don’t need to trigger any anomalies in Burning Hillock.”

“The Golden Face Killing God said that they are powerful, we…”

Jeffery Cooper rudely interrupted her, “I don’t believe in his words!”

Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow was taken aback, and Jeffery Cooper continued, “It’s just bluffing.

The matter of Burning Hillock is of great importance, I won’t feel at ease unless I see it for myself.”

His “public-minded” demeanor disgusted Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow!

Did he think others were fools?

He was just another greedy one coveting the treasures and opportunities inside Burning Hillock!

Not only the Burning Hillock, but also the Golden Face Killing God, his magical instruments were equally invaluable!

Vanessa also remembered that Jeffery Cooper’s family business was the magical instrument business, their supply even covered several counties under the Wood Dynasty, including the chain locks for constables.

Vanessa’s guess was not incorrect, that crossbow mechanism was indeed Jeffery Cooper’s actual goal.

As for the Burning Hillock, he had no intention of taking real risks.

However, what Jeffery Cooper didn’t know was that all his reactions were exactly as Owen Bertram had anticipated!

Owen Bertram stowed the jade talisman and went to the Hunshui River to find his brother – Little Loach who had been keeping watch in the Hunshui River up till now.

Starting from the night, it had been brimming with anger.

Yet another fellow was trying to steal my snacks!

Can this really be tolerated?

However, elder brother strictly ordered him, not to act rashly, he said that the thief could be of use.

What’s the use of a thief?

The only function a thief served, wasn’t it to beat the thief with everyone together, to vent the anger in the heart?

This kind of creature deserved to be thrashed by everyone.

Little Loach puffed out his cheeks in anger, his cheeks huffed and puffed.

However, this thief had stayed hidden near the entrance of the Iron Spear Underground Palace since he arrived last night without making any rash moves.

Owen Bertram and Little Loach trailed behind the thief last night and got a clear picture of the current situation at the entrance.

The original Giant Turtle Nest had completely collapsed.

Only half of an entry hole remained.

Near the hole, water grass which looked like common reeds had grown abundantly.

Unlike the reeds by the riverbank, faint blue electricity would occasionally flash around the blades of these plants.

Owen Bertram suspected that these water grass which had grown into a field, would trigger a sea of thunder once the gigantic creature barged in.

This was in the water.

If an electric shock occurred, nobody could escape.

That’s why Owen Bertram instructed Little Loach to keep a watch from the shore.

If the thief got struck by lightning, he must avoid getting involved.

First, it was the Overlord Giant Turtle, then the Bloodsucking Aquatic Grass, now it’s the thundergrass – Owen Bertram suspected that there was some intelligent being in the Iron Spear Underground Palace who deliberately arranged this as a protection for its territory.

When Owen Bertram arrived, he found Little Loach only about two miles from the entrance, its gigantic body half-sunken in the riverbed silt – perhaps it thought that as long as it hides in the silt, it won’t get electrocuted?

Owen Bertram got angry instantly and scolded his younger brother: I told you to keep at a distance, why don’t you listen?

Little Loach was stubborn: If I stay too far, I won’t have the time to catch up.

What if the thief steals my snacks and runs off?

You blockhead!

Owen Bertram cursed, then gave up explaining to him, transferred his soul over and quietly approached the entrance.

This savvy Tire-3 Demonic Beast that arrived downstream was a Giant Crocodile indeed!

It was 70 feet in length, extremely robust!

Its entire body was covered with a skin as hard as a rock, there were three rows of bone spikes on its back which hinted at signs of it turning into an evil sea dragon.

It had been lying around several tens of feet outside the hole entrance the whole time, its dim eyes half-closed and observing the situation inside the hole.

Those reeds-like aquatic grass seemed to sense a threat, the flickering electricity became more evident.

In the depth of the hole, a faint spiritual light was visible, as if something was lurking.

When Owen Bertram saw it clearly, he quietly retreated and controlled Little Loach, they crawled up to shore from afar.

“This Giant Crocodile is no simple beast.””It must have figured out that the thunder and lightning stored in the reeds are not easy to gather, and can probably only be released once.

But it will definitely be very powerful, it’s waiting for a chance to use other creatures to trigger the thunder tide, and then it can rush into the hole.”

“But it seems that the underground palace is also prepared, is that spiritual light inside another spear aura?”

Owen Bertram stroked his chin and thought for a while, then patted Little Loach beside him: “Don’t worry, your snacks won’t be in danger, let’s go to Hunshui River first.” freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Little Loach was unwilling, but it was really too hungry.

Owen Bertram coaxed and persuaded it, and finally managed to make it leave.

After Little Loach went down to Hunshui River, Owen Bertram slapped his forehead: “There is still a big task to do today.” He then leisurely arrived under the gourd vine, and a moment later, a crystal-clear water column irrigated it.

The gourds were about to break down.

They finally had a morning where this fellow didn’t come to cause trouble – the seven brothers were quietly cheering.

This fellow was finally tripped up by something, they didn’t have to suffer at his hands today.

But it was almost noon, and this fellow came anyway!

Cannot escape, cannot escape…

The Gourd Brothers despairingly believed.

…

In the evening, the giant crocodile left Hunshui River, entered the river, and began to search for Tier-2 demon beasts.

But it searched the entire water area and couldn’t find a single Tier-2 demon beast!

Of course it couldn’t find any.

Owen Bertram spent the entire day with Little Loach, hunting every single Tier-2 demon beast in this section of the river.

Little Loach was stuffed.

However, the Tier-3 demonic beast, the giant crocodile didn’t have a full grasp of controlling it either.

It needs a Tier-2 demon beast to trigger the thunderbolt.

Owen Bertram comfortably returned home.

…

That night, batches of Evil-Repelling Iron Plates were successfully forged at Lord Collins’s place, and one was issued to each person.

Everyone hung them around their chests, all preparation was ready.

After dawn, the Horizon Bureau’s people ate breakfast and gathered at the entrance of the village to wait.

When Owen Bertram arrived, he saw that they had all entered the village and couldn’t help but chuckle secretly.

“General Bertram, heed my command!”

Owen Bertram cooperated, moved forward and saluted: “Yes, sir!”

“Lead the way ahead, straight to Burning Hillock!”

“Yes!”

Several commanders in full armor, accompanied by hundreds of military officers, escorted Jeffery Cooper in a grand and majestic procession toward Burning Hillock.

When the villagers along the way saw them, they all hid far away in fright.

Uncle and a few others hid behind the trees, anxiously watching Owen Bertram, and lamenting in their hearts: this kid has gotten into more trouble, sigh…

This time, Jeffery Cooper was extraordinarily calm, leading his team to linger around the outskirts of Burning Hillock without crossing that boundary.

After midday, Jeffery Cooper had a basic understanding of the situation at Burning Hillock, and ordered solemnly: “Owen Bertram, please come to invite the Golden Face Killing God out, I want to talk to him.”

“Yes.” Owen Bertram took the order and went towards Burning Hillock.

His front was the boundary that the Golden Face Killing God had drawn the day before.

Behind him, Jeffery Cooper looked at his several commanders, and Fabian and the others each nodded, already prepared.

Owen Bertram stood in front of the boundary, tentatively stretched out one foot, and then shrank it back quickly.

Woosh–

A crossbow arrow was shot at the position where he had just crossed the boundary – the arrow was shot from the forest, the only forest in the barren Burning Hillock, but it was extraordinarily dense.

Fabian shook his head and sneered behind him: this kid is really cunning.
