Chapter 147: Lycaon’s Ability

Xiao Fen looked at this Staff, and his heart immediately filled with joy. This equipment was exactly what he needed. Although it did not bring any extra attack power itself, if the stored skills could be used well, in the dangerous long sea, this Staff would exist like a powerful weapon.

While he was considering what skills to put into the Staff, the wooden door was suddenly knocked on. Then, Lycaon’s voice came: “Palin, are you done? It seems we should have a good talk now.”

Xiao Fen glanced at the messy equipment on the bed and said with a bitter smile: “Okay, wait a moment.”

As he spoke, he put the remaining keys and the Staff into his backpack, then calmly opened the room door.

As soon as Lycaon came in, he was flashed by the metallic luster on the bed. He blocked his eyes with his hand, looked slightly, looked at Xiao Fen, and asked: “The results from early this morning?”

Xiao Fen shrugged and said: “A large part, not all. Don’t worry, the reward I promised you, I will definitely not default on.”

Lycaon shook his head, casually found a grandmaster chair and sat down. His huge body pressed the grandmaster chair until it made creaking sounds. Xiao Fen almost thought the chair would collapse under Lycaon in the next second.

“I don’t need those rewards. I need to complete these missions and then return to the Real World. My sister is still waiting for me. I mean, in this Trial World, she entered this world a few days early. When I entered, I didn’t find the mark she left me. It seems she has disappeared. I need to find her. The best way to find her in this Trial World is still to dig into the Main Quest. And now, you should have the Main Quest in your hands. This is the reason I agreed to help you.”

Xiao Fen asked: “You don’t have teammates?”

“I worry about my sister. In the Real World a few days ago, she participated in this mission. Although she barely completed the Main Quest in the end, all her teammates died inside. She was unwilling to give up. After this Trial World restarted, she entered it again. I can’t bring the whole squad into danger because of my sister, and I am even more worried about her. So, in the end, I entered this Trial World alone. Since I couldn’t find the Main Quest, I just wandered in this Trial World for a few days until I discovered the anomaly on your side. This was the first time such an anomaly occurred since I entered this Trial World. So, I believe you should possess the Main Quest.”

Xiao Fen raised his hand and said: “Wait, wait, if this is a repeated Trial World, why wouldn’t you be able to find the Main Quest? These things should have spread among Trialists, right?”

Lycaon shook his head and said: “No, completely different. This Tianjin Explosion Trial World opened earlier than usual. It opened when there were still a full 30 days before the explosion. This means that all Main Quests have been reconstructed. The previous Level 3 Tianjin Trial World was nothing more than reducing casualties as much as possible. But the Main Quest this time likely requires finding the root cause of all this Disaster. And this is exactly what we lack.”

Xiao Fen nodded slightly. He basically understood what Lycaon meant. The same Trial World would produce different Main Quests with different opening times. The World Tree used this to prevent Trialists from taking shortcuts.

And the Tianjin Explosion itself was a mystery. When it came to finding the root of this mystery, everyone who entered this Trial World was completely clueless. One couldn’t say that having participated in this Trial World before would make one more familiar with it. So, from this perspective, everyone was actually on the same starting line.

No, Xiao Fen shook his head. They were not on the same starting line. At least he had already triggered the Main Quest now, and he already roughly knew the direct cause of this Great Explosion. What remained was simply to find those black hands hiding behind the scenes, who had spent ten years laying out all of this—the White Lotus Sect, and those existences behind the White Lotus Sect.

Thinking of this, he looked up at Lycaon and said: “I can help you look for your sister. As for the Main Quest, we are already involved in it. The current task is to find new Filth infection points within 3 days. With one more Trialist, I have one more point of confidence in completing these Main Quests.”

Lycaon stared at Xiao Fen, was quiet for a moment, and said: “You never seem to doubt whether my words are deceiving you.”

“We have been deceiving each other from the start. As for now, even if we add a little more deception, what does it matter?”

Lycaon smiled slightly and said: “Alright, I will live up to this trust of yours, at least in this Trial World.”

Xiao Fen waved his hand, turned to point at the bed, and asked: “Look for yourself, see if there are any handy weapons or armor. I basically can’t use these things. Keeping them all in my backpack is also a very troublesome thing.”

Lycaon laughed and said: “Oh, of course. If you asked someone else about this kind of thing, it might be really hard to handle, but you found Lycaon, so it’s right. In this Trial World, the only one who can help you deal with these pieces of equipment is Lycaon.”

After speaking, Lycaon strode to the bedside, glanced at Xiao Fen, then casually picked up a treasured sword, exerted force to break off the tip of the sword, put it in his mouth and chewed it a few times, then raised his neck and swallowed it. The whole movement was as brisk as eating fruit.

This was not all. After a sword was completely swallowed by Lycaon in a few seconds, this Trialist did not pause. He opened his hands, working with both left and right, and stuffed those metal equipment and weapons into his mouth without any scruples. In that instant, Xiao Fen almost thought he saw a monster devouring the world.

“Is there anything you can’t eat?”

Xiao Fen looked at this somewhat terrifying scene and couldn’t help asking.

Lycaon glanced at Xiao Fen, forcefully swallowed a set of heavy metal plate armor completely, and said: “Don’t worry, my appetite is very good. This kind of food is the best supplement for me.”

Xiao Fen gave a bitter smile, simply sat to the side, and watched Lycaon’s performance of devouring the world.

This scene was a performance to Xiao Fen, but for those Agents of the Eastern Depot, it was a terrifying intimidation that made their legs weak.

An Agent who hurried in to report to Xiao Fen stood at the door and saw all this. His legs were trembling, and he dared not walk in. He only whispered at the door: “Immortal, Immortal, the Director is asking if you have rested well. If you have rested well, he is coming to visit you.”

Xiao Fen saw this Agent was so panicked, smiled slightly, and said: “What are you afraid of? Although he eats a mixed diet, he rarely eats people. Only one a day. He didn’t say he wanted to eat you.”

As soon as this joke was spoken, this Agent “thumped” and sat on the ground, tightly grabbing the doorframe, closing his eyes and just saying: “Don’t eat me, don’t eat me. My body is thin, not worthy for you to eat, Grandpa.”
