Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 975: Chapter 975: Prehistoric Overlord (Part 3)

The original master’s concept of the Prehistoric Era was a bit vague, with many things only partially understood, so Chuzheng also needed someone who could tell her the details of the Prehistoric Era.

The hedgehog dog youth was named Tun Xiang.

When the youth introduced his name, Chuzheng looked at him quizzically.

With that small frame, what kind of elephant is he swallowing?

Young, but with a big appetite.

Of course, Chuzheng didn’t ask, maintaining her high status like a boss.

The rules in the Prehistoric Era are simple: whoever has the harder fist gets to speak.

Chuzheng quite liked this rule.

[...] Did not like it at all.

The Prehistoric Era is vast, but most of the beasts stay in their territories.

Divine Beasts and Fierce Beasts especially have clear territorial divisions, and if not necessary, other beasts will avoid these areas.

The rest are just ordinary Spiritual Beasts, like Tun Xiang.

Either they survive alone in the Prehistoric Era, or they attach themselves to other powerful beasts...

”I heard there’s also a kind of Demonic Beast.” Tun Xiang said, ”They are even harder to deal with than Fierce Beasts.”

”How are they hard to deal with?”

Tun Xiang shook his head, ”I don’t know, never seen one, just heard about it.”

Chuzheng asked Tun Xiang a few questions, and Tun Xiang, with a mindset of hugging a big tree, told her everything he knew.

”Why is the forest so quiet?”

Tun Xiang glanced at the forest, ”I heard there was a thunder tribulation to the north today, quite a few beasts went over there.”

What did they go there for, Tun Xiang figured he didn’t need to elaborate.

Everyone knew.

If you can’t survive the thunder tribulation, you die.

Everyone went to take advantage.

If you happen to encounter a Divine Beast or Fierce Beast going through the tribulation and failing, then grabbing and eating it is better than anything.

Chuzheng: ”...” Isn’t that thunder tribulation to the north me?

So everyone’s running over to capture me?

”I also heard it’s a Phoenix over there. Like the king, it’s a bird, but a Divine Beast, and the only Phoenix in the Prehistoric Era. It’s said that her blood has miraculous effects, if an ordinary Spiritual Beast takes a sip, it can become very strong.”

Tun Xiang looked yearning.

If he wasn’t so weak, he’d want to go have a look, too.

He didn’t want to take advantage, just wanted to see the legendary Divine Beast.

Although everyone knows there are Divine Beasts in the Prehistoric Era, those who have really seen one are very few.

”Who exactly spread the rumor that Phoenix blood has this effect?” Chuzheng asked expressionlessly, this trouble must be dealt with!

Tun Xiang didn’t know, shook his head, ”Everyone says so.”

”...”

Rumors killed the bird.

Chuzheng glanced at Tun Xiang...

Although the rumor was widespread, it seemed not all beasts recognized what a Phoenix looked like.

”Great King, do you want to go over and take a look?” Tun Xiang asked expectantly, looking at Chuzheng.

”No.”

That place is full of beasts waiting to pick up corpses, am I going there to die?

No way!

Tun Xiang sighed in disappointment, couldn’t catch a glimpse of the Phoenix.

Really wanted to know what a Phoenix looks like.

-

There are markets even in the Prehistoric Era.

Stone-piled buildings, standing in the wilderness like a giant beast.

There are many such markets in the Prehistoric Era, mainly used by beasts to trade some things.

”There are all kinds of beasts here, be careful when you go in.” Tun Xiang cautioned Chuzheng.

There aren’t many rules in the market, so to move around, you need solid strength.

Tun Xiang, just having transformed, didn’t want to come to the market.

He didn’t want to hang around just after transforming.

But since Chuzheng wanted to come, Tun Xiang figured the king who could easily take out three Stone Lotus Fruits must be quite capable.

”Um, Great King, would you like to cover up a bit?”

”Why?” Am I not good-looking?

Chuzheng was quite satisfied with her Phoenix appearance.

”Great King... well, you being a bird, if seen it could easily cause trouble.”

Birds are rare, and a beautiful bird always attracts beasts’ coveting, some might even directly plunder using their strength,

If the bird is strong, fine, but if not, then it could only...

Chuzheng only heard the word ’trouble’ from Tun Xiang.

She wrapped herself in Yin Xian, then followed Tun Xiang inside.

-

The market was bustling, with beasts having transformed and not transformed, all sorts of odd ones.

Tun Xiang walked cautiously, afraid to bump into anyone.

Chuzheng’s gaze roamed the surroundings casually.

Everything is exchanged here, strange herbs, fruits, bones... Chuzheng even saw a transformed beast selling another kind of beast.

Chuzheng: ”...”

How cruel!

[Main task: Please spend ten Stone Lotus Fruits within half an hour.]

Chuzheng: ”...”

Chuzheng had earlier extracted the Stone Lotus Fruit’s effects from Tun Xiang.

This item is common in the Prehistoric Era, but... most grow on steep cliffs, so ordinary beasts can’t reach them.

Stone Lotus Fruit enhances strength; if Tun Xiang eats three, he can directly transform—of course, Tun Xiang was near transformation, those Stone Lotus Fruits provided the last bit of strength he needed.

Chuzheng randomly picked a stall and had Tun Xiang go over.

”Great King, what are we doing?” Tun Xiang lowered his voice, the king told him that others couldn’t see her now.

And once Tun Xiang entered, he noticed indeed these beasts couldn’t see the king.

With such a beautiful bird showing up, if they could see her, it would’ve stirred quite a commotion.

”Buy that.” Chuzheng pointed at the item on the stall next to her.

Looking at the Stone Lotus Fruits in his hand, Tun Xiang’s eyes widened slightly.

This... so many?

But considering the king is a bird, it’s much easier to pick Stone Lotus Fruits compared to other beasts.

Tun Xiang walked to that stall.

The stall owner was a scrawny man, somewhat dark, with shifty eyes full of cunning gleams, giving off a thievish look.

”Little guy, what do you want to trade?” Seeing a customer, the stall owner enthusiastically greeted him.

Tun Xiang swallowed, ”How do you trade these?”

The stall owner glanced at Tun Xiang, ”What do you have?”

Tun Xiang looked around, fished out a Stone Lotus Fruit, and handed it over.

The stall owner’s eyes narrowed instantly, grabbing Tun Xiang’s wrist to cover the Stone Lotus Fruit, ”Little guy, this is a great item you have here.”

Tun Xiang tried to withdraw his hand, but the stall owner’s grip was strong, and he couldn’t pull back no matter what.

”Let go of me.”

”Hey, little guy, didn’t you want to trade?” The stall owner laughed craftily, ”You can’t regret it now.”

”I...” Tun Xiang was angry, ”The stuff here isn’t worth this, let go of me!”

The stall owner held even tighter, his tone was sinister, ”Whether it’s worth it isn’t for you to say.”

In the market, there aren’t many rules, naturally, it’s the fist that talks.

Getting robbed while trading isn’t unusual either.

Those who could set up a stall in the market were all very powerful beasts.

”You’re trying to rob me!” Tun Xiang panicked.

”Hahaha, this is the place, little guy coming here like this and bringing something like this, aren’t you just asking for me to rob you?” The stall owner didn’t shy away at all.

”You...”

Tun Xiang instinctively looked towards Chuzheng’s side.

Chuzheng didn’t mind being taken advantage of, but robbery was a different matter.

To rob her, isn’t that saving face or not?!
