Muscular Rabbits Legion: “No one can escape from the novice village!”
Chapter 426 - Chapter 426 Chapter 416 True Feelings Revealed

Chapter 426: Chapter 416 True Feelings Revealed Chapter 426: Chapter 416 True Feelings Revealed Since he couldn’t fool the old fellow, Yi Zheng simply moved closer, “Old man, I might be your grandson, or I might not be. Before there’s proof, we have nothing to do with each other.

But we’ve met a couple of times, so we’re kind of fatefully linked like rabbits.

If someone bullies me, I’m going to ask you, will you help or not!”

Looking at Yi Zheng’s dead serious eyes, and seeing that he had laid all his cards on the table, the Deceptive Beast also turned serious for once, “You… take that thing off, it’s crushing my foot!”

Yi Zheng kicked the large tree away with one foot, then squatted down and looked at the Deceptive Beast, “So, how are we going to do this?”

The Deceptive Beast responded, “First, tell me the whole story.”

Just then, Cao Zhengchun came running over, “Boss, news, important news!”

Then Cao Zhengchun shared what he knew with Yi Zheng, who summarized it and relayed it to the Deceptive Beast.

The Deceptive Beast burst into laughter upon hearing, “The Ten Thousand Soul Banner? What kind of crappy thing is that? Never heard of it. Now, if it were the Nine Yin Ten Earth Great Soul Banner or the Six Soul Banner, that I’ve heard of.”

Yi Zheng’s eyes gleamed as he said, “Don’t talk bullshit, just tell me if you can handle it or not.”

The Deceptive Beast nodded, “Just a flick of the fingers.”

Yi Zheng said, “Then why aren’t you helping?”

The Deceptive Beast replied, “Why should I help you? You’re not my grandson…”

After speaking, the Deceptive Beast walked away with hands behind his back, strolling step by step, and added, “If you call me Grandpa, I’ll help you kill that Xuan Gu beast, how’s that?”

A smile teased the corner of the Deceptive Beast’s mouth as it thought, “You little rascal, now you have to beg me and call me grandpa, right?”

Then it heard the rumble of footsteps behind it, but the noise was gradually fading away.

The Deceptive Beast turned back to look and saw Yi Zheng riding a large rabbit, sprinting into the distance.

At the spot, only Cao Zhengchun was left behind.

The Deceptive Beast was stunned, “That grandson… just ran off?”

Cao Zhengchun nodded, “Ah, he ran off… The boss needs to level up quickly.”

The Deceptive Beast stomped its foot in frustration, “That stubborn temper…” Then it chuckled, “Just like me! Definitely my real grandson!”

After saying that, the Deceptive Beast followed with a laugh, not seeming to run, but with one stride, it was thousands of miles away, catching up with Yi Zheng who was sprinting ahead.

“What are you doing here? I didn’t acknowledge you as my grandpa! Truth be told, I’m definitely not your grandson,” Yi Zheng was very clear about his origins, and even if this body might be the grandson of the Deceptive Beast, Yi Zheng did not acknowledge it.

The Deceptive Beast responded with a laugh, “Little rascal, you’ve got personality, just like your grandpa me.”

Yi Zheng: “…Don’t take advantage now!”

The Deceptive Beast nonchalantly tossed something to Yi Zheng, who subconsciously caught it, and saw it was half an eaten apple.

Then he heard the Deceptive Beast say, “Throw it away for me.”

Yi Zheng raised his hand to throw the apple at the Deceptive Beast when suddenly the system notification said, “Deceptive Beast task, help him throw the apple, do you accept?”

Yi Zheng stopped, staring warily at the Deceptive Beast, “Open up the task details for me, don’t think about fooling me again!”

“Done!” The Deceptive Beast granted access to the task details for Yi Zheng.

Yi Zheng read through and saw the task introduction was very clear, “Throw away the half-eaten apple in your hand.”

Once he confirmed it was just about throwing the apple, Yi Zheng directly tossed the apple at the Deceptive Beast.

The Deceptive Beast dodged with a tilt of its head, then said gleefully, “Great grandson, you better accept the task; otherwise, I can’t help you.”

Yi Zheng was about to hit reject when the Deceptive Beast said, “To tell you the truth, this is a chain task.”

Yi Zheng sneered, “You old undying thing, you really do want to scam me!”

The Deceptive Beast chuckled, “Not really a scam. You want my help to deal with the trash of level seven or eight. To me, he’s trash. But to you, he’s like a dear daddy, can beat you however he likes.

But you don’t need to worry about that thing where they’re worried about you breaking through level 61 causing the world reality to change, not at all.

Stepping into tier six, the return of world reality, that’s for the players.

It’s a grace period given to the external players by the system.

You, a wild monster, an NPC leveling up, means jack shit!

Level 61 and under wild monsters, NPCs, are everywhere. If there was a problem, it would’ve happened long ago.”

Yi Zheng nodded, he had also thought of this, so he didn’t stop his underlings from attacking, continuing to level up with all his might.

The Deceptive Beast went on, “However, the speed at which the other side is leveling up isn’t slow, and within a month at best, they could train up a level 61 player.

But exactly when they’ll break through is something he can control.

He could teleport over before the world announcement, and once the announcement is made, he can declare war immediately and lock everyone on the continent.

But don’t worry too much, there is still a way to escape. If he comes, you guys can go to the Qianyuan Continent.

If he locks down this continent, Qianyuan Continent isn’t locked, you can still log off.”

Yi Zheng was stunned; he hadn’t thought of that possibility.

Then the Deceptive Beast continued, “Finally, it comes to the battle. The opponent might not be just on the seventh tier, maybe higher. Let’s put it this way, tier six is surpassing human limits, entering a realm of perceiving heaven and man.

Only after tier seven does true cultivation begin.

After tier seven, it’s no longer graded by tiers, every level is worlds apart.

By then, trying to level up by just killing monsters? Wishful thinking.

Of course, that’s not to say it’s not possible, but that would rely on decades, even hundreds of years of time to grind it out.”

“`

Hearing the secret after Level 7, both Yi Zheng and Cao Zhengchun’s eyes shone brightly.

Despite being filled with doubts, Yi Zheng saw the accumulating tasks of his 49 cities; if he didn’t claim the rewards now, the subsequent siege rewards would be pushed off.

Without time to think further, he got ready to accept the task.

That’s when the Deceptive Beast said, “You’d better not claim that reward!”

Yi Zheng frowned and asked, “Why not?”

The Deceptive Beast replied, “Those 49 cities, you’ve reached Innate Perfection, but not Great Perfection. Continue pushing the cities, flush out the one that escaped, and only then will you reach Great Perfection. By then, huh huh…”

Boom…

Suddenly, the sky was shrouded in dark clouds, with flashes of lightning and rolls of thunder.

The Deceptive Beast grinned and said, “I can’t say any more, revealing too much heavenly secret can lead to being struck by lightning. Rabbit, I’ve said all I can, it’s up to you to heed it or not. The apple-throwing task is a multi-stage task.

“The first stage is throwing an apple, and if you accept it, this will be your reward.”

The Deceptive Beast waved an Experience Talisman in front of Yi Zheng.

Yi Zheng immediately examined the Talisman’s attributes and was stunned.

Item Name: Ten Times Experience Talisman.

Category: Consumable

Level: 6

Grade: Mythical Level

Special Attribute:

Seal: Affix to the back of the neck and enjoy three days of ten times the Experience Value reward time. At the same time, the Ten Times Experience Talisman can store Experience Value, and when removed, it says ‘time’s up’ and peels off, returning the Experience Value to the host.

Break: Reduces an experience bottleneck for level 69 and below once.

Although this Equipment doesn’t enhance any attributes, without a doubt, it was exactly what Yi Zheng needed the most!

Right now, what Yi Zheng lacked the most were Level and time, and this Talisman resolved all of his problems!

“This guy now trying to swindle me won’t get much, at least all of my belongings together are probably not as valuable as this Charm. It seems that he is really trying to help me, and since it’s a multi-stage task, it means the rewards that follow can only be better.

So, what can he actually deceive me out of?

Could he really be deliberately trying to help me?

Could my body truly belong to his grandson?” Yi Zheng even began to doubt himself.

But that wasn’t important anymore; these matters could be slowly verified later. The top priority now was to level up!

After thinking it over, Yi Zheng said to the Deceptive Beast, “I can’t trust you, for the subsequent tasks you have to tell me the truth, and I reserve the right to refuse and to stop the task at any time. Hmm… I can’t be liable for compensation either!

…”

Yi Zheng rattled off more than a dozen conditions all in one breath, all to his advantage.

He thought the Deceptive Beast would haggle, but to his surprise, it agreeably accepted all terms immediately.

Its face was filled with the kindliness of a doting grandfather.

However, Yi Zheng always felt that behind that kind smile, the words “F*ck you!” were written.

Finally, after the Deceptive Beast swore on the spot and a system was in place to ensure fairness, Yi Zheng made sure there were no loopholes before deciding to accept the task.

He then picked up an apple from the ground and casually threw it.

“Ding! Congratulations, you have completed the first stage task, throwing an apple. Task reward: Ten Times Experience Talisman.”

Yi Zheng immediately snatched the Ten Times Experience Talisman and stuck it onto the back of his neck; better to use the Deceptive Beast’s item right away to be safe.

He also heard the Deceptive Beast say, “You rascal, I don’t have many of these trash items left. Do well in this chain task, and I’ll strive to give all the trash to you.”

Hearing this, Yi Zheng felt incredibly uncomfortable inside. What did he mean by ‘giving him all the trash’?

Was he a garbage bin?

The Deceptive Beast continued, “Although this stuff is trash, your Level is even lower, so this trash is still a bit advanced for you. The system doesn’t allow us Divine Beasts to directly give things to people, so you have to earn them by doing tasks. My chain task is not simple, and there are life-threatening questions later on. Otherwise, the initial reward wouldn’t be so high.”

At this point, the Deceptive Beast looked at Yi Zheng with genuine emotion, “You little brat, every word I said earlier is true; otherwise, may lightning strike me.”

Yi Zheng looked up at the sky, at the flashes of lightning and rolls of thunder.

The Deceptive Beast said somewhat awkwardly, “Well, there might be a little discrepancy, but it’s not a big problem.”

With that said, both rabbits looked at the sky; no thunder struck, and they both heaved a sigh of relief.

The Deceptive Beast was relieved not to be struck by lightning, and Yi Zheng was glad that there was no big pitfall this time.

The Deceptive Beast, with deep conviction, took Yi Zheng’s hand and said, “At this point, without going into other matters, just going by age, it wouldn’t be too much to call me grandfather, right? In my whole life, I’ve been deceiving all under heaven, and nobody sees me as a good person.

Even nobody wants to talk to me.

I don’t have any grandchildren or sons or anything.

Finding one at last, that’s all I wish for.

You… can you call me just once, ‘Grandfather’?”

The Deceptive Beast’s eyes brimmed with tears; at that moment, he seemed like a lonely, desolate old man, by a gust of wind about to tumble over, pitifully evoking sympathy.

Standing by, Cao Zhengchun couldn’t bear to look anymore, casting a reproachful glance towards Yi Zheng, thinking internally, “He’s given you such a big benefit, just calling him ‘Grandfather’ wouldn’t hurt.”

Meanwhile, in a blessed land deep within the Hengshan of the Southern Divine Mountain, a group of people gathered around a stone table – there were Taoists, Nuns, some with lion heads and human bodies, and some Bull Head People…
