208: Chapter 206: The Third Great Boundary (Part 1)_1 208: Chapter 206: The Third Great Boundary (Part 1)_1 After Owen Bertram returned to the outpost, he went to the riverside to pick up Little Loach.
When he found Little Loach, he noticed that he looked quite lazy.
Owen asked suspiciously, “Did you just have a big al?”
Little Loach grumbled and explained to Elder Brother what had happened: so jerk dared to attack my snack storage, so I killed and ate it.
It was probably a Tire-4 Demon Beast, and I’m so full now.
Owen’s face changed, another one had co?!
He had long suspected that there was so powerful existence in Copper Gorge, always coveting the Iron Spear Underground Palace and constantly sending Puppet Demon Beasts.
Last ti, after the Softshell Turtle incident, he had focused mainly on the Henry Case and didn’t expect another Demon Beast to be sent quietly.
Luckily, Little Loach was vigilant; otherwise, the enemy might have succeeded.
A glint flashed in Owen’s eyes: When I go to Casterly County this ti, I might et this powerful being!
“What kind of Demon Beast was it this ti?”
Little Loach, who had a slow mind after eating too much, struggled to rember: It was a snake-like creature with a body thicker than mine, so you can’t call fat anymore, as I look slim compared to it.
It had five tails but only one head, and there was a cockscomb on its head, which made it look very ugly.
But its poison was so strong that it made feel dizzy, as if I were drunk.
Oh, and the snake’s gallbladder was delicious!
Owen put Little Loach back in the gourd and took another look at the bump on Little Loach’s head – it had appeared quite a while ago, but until now, nothing had grown out of it.
He didn’t push Little Loach and went up the mountain to the Gourd Vine.
Seeing Master approaching from a distance, the gourds excitedly shook back and forth, eagerly wanting to jump off the vine and into their Master’s arms before they were fully ripe.
We’ve been waiting for so long, and we thought Master had forgotten about us.
Sob!
Master, you can’t play favorites.
If you accept Elder Brother and Little Loach, you must accept us too.
We’re brothers; the whole family should be united.
To appease the gourds, Owen tried to squeeze out a few drops of urine, even though he didn’t need to pee.
The effect was remarkable.
Just a few drops made the gourds feel secure and settled down.
“You guys need to work harder to ripen as soon as possible and serve ,” Owen said, hands behind his back, admonishing the group of gourds.
“Look at Elder Brother and Little Loach, they are doing their best for , and they are well rewarded.”
The remaining five gourds jumped together on the vine, nodding in agreent.
“Alright, I need to go back now.
I’ll co to see you again tomorrow morning.”
On the way back, Owen tapped the gourd on his waist and asked Little Loach, “What benefits will co from eating the Tire-4 Demon Beast this ti?
Can you share so with Elder Brother?”
Little Loach remained silent, pretending to be asleep.
Owen grabbed the gourd and shook it violently, exposing Little Loach’s head from it: “Don’t pretend to be dead, I know you heard .”
Little Loach retracted his head, feeling quite wronged: This was a hard-won prey after a bitter struggle, risking being poisoned and killed.
You didn’t help at all, Elder Brother, and you still want to take a share?
Does your face not turn red at all?
Of course, the last sentence was Little Loach’s inner thoughts, which he wouldn’t dare say out loud.
“Oh?” Owen laughed and took out the Jade Seal: “So you’re saying since I didn’t participate, I shouldn’t have any share of the benefits?
In that case, this ti I went out and collected several treasures, which you didn’t help with either.
So you shouldn’t take any of these treasures and I’ll keep them all for myself…”
Before he could finish, a large head suddenly shot out from the Gourd and snapped at the Jade Seal in his hand.
Owen’s hand was empty, as he had put the Jade Seal back into the Storage Brocade Pouch.
Little Loach snapped at the air and shook his head.
Suddenly, he transford into a well-behaved, adorable family mber.
Gently nudging Elder Brother’s hand with his head, he humd and grunted.
How could I possibly not repay Elder Brother?
You misunderstand!
The reason I hunted so hard was, of course, to give back to you, Elder Brother.
“Heh heh,” Elder Brother rely scoffed.
Seeing that he couldn’t bluff his way out, Little Loach gritted his teeth and made a sincere promise: This ti, I’ll definitely help Elder Brother break through to the Third Great Boundary, and I’ll even provide a refining manual!
Owen was surprised and took another look at the Jade Seal: “This thing is very important to you?
You’re really giving it your all?”
Little Loach imdiately insisted: It has nothing to do with this object, I just want to help Elder Brother.
Even when hunting alone is that dangerous, as long as I think of Elder Brother’s happy face after being repaid, I’m fearless!
I don’t know who he’s been hanging out with lately, but our Little Loach has also beco smooth-talking.
Ivan from the gourd kept quiet, not daring to make a sound.
Owen flicked one of his fingers on his head: “Tell the truth.”
Little Loach, confused, drooled: I really don’t know; I just feel like I really want to eat it.
Owen patted his head: “That’s my good boy.
Our family is honest, and that’s great.
Don’t learn any of those shady tricks outside.”
Once again, indirectly insulted by Master, Ivan couldn’t help but shiver.
However, Owen couldn’t feed the Jade Seal to Little Loach just yet.
He was already so full that he didn’t want to move.
It would be better to let him digest before feeding him.
Owen sent a chanical Dao Soldier to check the outside of the Iron Spear Underground Palace again.
The previous thunder formation he had set up was still there, causing the weeds to grow wildly and spreading over half of the entrance of the Underground Palace.
The accumulated thunder had overflowed, occasionally releasing a srizing blue radiance underwater.
The Fierce Fish in this river were safe swimming among the thunderous water plants but occasionally, so unlucky ones were struck by the scattered thunder.
So when the blue light flashed, so Fierce Fish would float up to the surface of the water…
The chanical Dao Soldier took a look through the water plants and saw that the entrance to the Iron Spear Underground Palace was still without any spear energy.
Owen wondered: If the Iron Spear is truly fishing, it has been too patient, hasn’t it?
Could it be that it really lacks the power to condense spear energy and release it?
Owen coveted the Demon Beast Glyph Bones inside the Underground Palace, but he didn’t have an urgent need for them.
So he decided not to take any risks and leave the Underground Palace alone for the ti being.
He returned to the outpost and announced that he was “leaving the pass.”
There was a calm atmosphere throughout the outpost.
The closing and reopening of the pass had been done so many tis that it had already lost its solemnity.
Owen dusted off his clothes, then said leisurely, “In the future, please change your way of addressing and call Owen Prescott.”
The Military officers were stunned, and Ethereal Devin, this confused guy, questioned without thinking, “It’s not appropriate.
Although your words hold more weight here than Lord Prescott’s, if we really start calling you Prescott, it’s not good for you or Lord Prescott when word gets out…”
