Chapter 1406: Overgrown Forest's Deranged Beast

F*ck!

Lu Changwei's face scrunched up, cursing Chen Xiaobei's entire ancestral line a hundred times over!

He had thought that as long as he swallowed his pride and humbled himself, he would be able to win over Chen Xiaobei.

He had not expected Chen Xiaobei to not only humiliate him, but actually physically hit him hard across the face.

Chen Xiaobei had just disgraced Lu Changwei and the whole South Town Lu family.

Lu Changwei was dying to leap to his feet and give Chen Xiaobei a piece of his mind, showing this dipshit who was the boss here.

But he did not dare to.

If he ever broke relations with Chen Xiaobei, he would have to part ways with Dong Xiaowu and the others. Lu Mingjun's latest plan would then miscarry.

Lu Changwei had yet find a way to salvage the problem of losing the keys to the hidden treasure, and if he ruined this other plan, Lu Changwei could not imagine what kind of suffering he would have to go through for the rest of his life.

"A misunderstanding... It's also just a misunderstanding..."

For the sake of the plan, Lu Changwei had to bite his tongue and swallow his pride.

When he said that, everyone nearly toppled over.

Who would have thought that Silver Plume plant's most hubristic, tyrannical, intransigent Lu Changwei had just been taken out by Chen Xiaobei?

Chen Xiaobei had just slapped him in front of an audience, and yet Lu Changwei was willing to pass it off as a misunderstanding.

This was exactly like the old saying, 'There will always be a kryptonite designed to bring down a person!'

"Fine then! Since you say that this is a misunderstanding, I'll just take is as a misunderstanding!" Chen Xiaobei said. "I'm willing to join your team!"

Everything Lu Changwei had done so far confirmed Chen Xiaobei's suspicion that the Lu family was plotting a whole new plan.

For him to get inside information, he would have to go along with Lu Changwei.

"Great! This is just great! Everyone, let's go!" Lu Changwei breathed out a sigh of relief, as he looked around at Dong Xiaowu and the others.

Since Chen Xiaobei had agreed to go with him, the others naturally had no objection.

The whole team then stepped through the portal together.

The portal was very big and had no problem transporting over a hundred people.

Woom!

There was large fluctuation of energy, the portal came to life and sent Chen Xiaobei and the entire group of people over to the faraway Overgrown Forest Planet.

Once they arrived in the planet, Chen Xiaobei and Wenren Muyue who were here for the first time were both completely gobsmacked.

Laid out before them was a vast, open piece of land with at least hundreds of large portals.

Every time a portal was activated, hundreds of people would be transported over.

There were hundreds of planets in Northern Wilderness Starfield, so even if each planet only sent 10,000 people, that would make a million people in total!

How big would the planet be then, to have to accommodate a million people hunting at the same time?

"My god, this really is an overgrown forest!"

Both Chen Xiaobei and Wenren Muyue gasped at the same time.

Surrounding the hundreds of portals was a vast, endless indigenous forest. It was boundless.

The trees were gigantic and their branches lush with thick greeneries so much so that the crowns of each tree touched, leaving no gaps in between, forming an expansive ocean of green.

"Attention! Attention!"

All around them were people shouting reminders. "This hunt will go on for five days! This portal base is the center, and the area within 1,000 kilometers is the safe zone! Hunt at your own liberty!"

"If you are injured at any time during the hunt or wish to retire early from the hunt, you will be sent back to your planet at the appointed time!"

"Should you leave the safe zone, you will be responsible for your own safety. We will not be responsible for any injuries, disabilities or death once you are outside! Also, no matter how far you go, you must return after five days or your results will be terminated!"

This announcement was repeated over and over again to ensure each and every one of the competitors knew the rules of the hunt so that they would comply to each one of them.

"Let's go! We only have five days! From now onwards, everyone will have to take things seriously!" Lu Changwei rushed to the front of the group and shouted.

"Mr. Chen." Wenren Muyue glanced at Chen Xiaobei, looking a little diffident.

"Let's go with them. I'm just a low-cultivation doctor. This is my first time here, so I'll just go with your plans!" Chen Xiaobei answered.

To know the Lu family's plan, Chen Xiaobei would need to stick closely to Lu Changwei.

The whole group of people then began to charge forward.

The group was made up of cultivators whose cultivation were pretty high, travelling so fast that they got out of the 1,000 kilometers of safe zone within seconds.

"We are leaving the safe zone now! But the Demonic Beasts here are not of very high ranking. We will have to go further!"

Lu Changwei found another reason to get everyone deeper into the Ocean Forest.

About 5,000 kilometers in, Lu Changwei suddenly slowed down and said, "Everyone, please stay alert! There will be Demonic Beasts with strengths similar to ours. Everyone will have to work together to kill the beasts!"

"Say, Master Wei, if everyone of us kills the beasts together, what is going to happen to the harvest?" Qin Luo asked.

"The Demonic Beasts that you kill as a team will be divided equally, of course!" Lu Changwei said. "If you don't trust me, you can all deposit whatever loot you get into the young governor's storage bracelet. Then at the end of it, the young governor will apportion it!"

"Mm! That's a very good idea!" Wei Ruilong nodded. "The young governor is honest and loyal. He will make sure the loot is divided fairly! We agree with the idea!"

Lu Changwei added, "Also, I'd better tell you this beforehand, if you kill a Demonic Beast as a family, then whatever you get from the best will belong to your family. We will not fight amongst each other or become envious of each other."

"Mm, we agree as well!"

Miao Yiyue nodded, but Wenren Muyue said nothing.

"Great! That's settled then! Everyone can split up now and begin to search for Demonic Beasts!" Lu Changwei announced. "If your family is capable of killing the beasts on your own, then go ahead. If you face a beast you cannot fight, call for help immediately! We'll kill it together!"

The group then went their separate ways.

But before they could go far, there was sudden cry for help.

"Argh! Help! Help!"

At the same time, a deafening, blood curdling roar exploded and shook the earth.

"Roaaaaaaaar!"

The sound obviously came from a frightening, maybe even deranged Demonic Beast.
