Chapter 69

Locke’s heart ached when he saw the good hind leg meat which he had roasted for a long time was scorched. It seemed that goddess was not omnipotent, such as in food.

Looking at Athena, Locke sighed.

At this time, he also noticed Sam and others walking out of the jungle.

Although shocked, Sam bent over and bowed to Locke, “Thank you for saving our life, Sir.”

The people behind him also bowed respectfully to Locke. Even the young man who had complained about Locke before also had a respectful look on his face. In Icacia Continent, people always respected the strong.

“It’s just a piece of cake. Don’t mind.”

Locke waved his hand casually. He took out two bottles of healing medicines from the system and threw them to Sam, “These are medicines for treating hurt, blood recovering medicine and healing powder. One is for internal use and the other for external use.”

Blood recovering medicine and healing powder!

Sam took medicines from Locke in shock. These were all valuable level-2 medicines. How could this young man give them like this?

Suppressing the shock in his heart, he bowed to Locke again and said, “Thank you for your mercy!”

Their healing medicines were all destroyed by the poisonous scorpion with black stripes.

“Oh my God!” Just as Locke was about to continue the barbecue, Sam’s excited voice suddenly rang out, which startled Locke.

“Is… Is this the superior medicine?”

Sam’s voice trembled with extreme excitement.

The others also came over, staring at the medicines in Sam’s hand.

“It’s really the superior medicine!”

“I can’t believe I’ve seen the superior medicine!”

When they saw the exquisite and beautiful lines on the black pill, they also cried out excitedly.

Yes, the stripes on the medicine were also called “elixir stripes”, which was the symbol of the top-level medicines. The superior medicine was a sign of the highest quality of a pill.

Usually, only very powerful healers could refine the top-level medicines with elixir stripes. Even the low-grade superior medicines were invaluable.

“Sir, this is the superior medicine. Are you really going to give it to us?”

Sam took a deep breath and asked incredulously.

“I thought there was something wrong with the medicines.”

Locke was speechless. He waved his hand and joked, “It’s for you. If you do not use it, I will take it back.”

Hearing Locke’s words, Sam and the others didn’t refuse anymore. They sprinkled healing powder on the wound and then took blood recovering medicine.

It was the level-2 medicine!

Looking at the wound that was healing at a visible speed, Sam was a little shocked.

After taking Blood Recovering Medicine, the energy in their bodies quickly recovered. Sam and the others finally had a trace of blood on their faces.

Locke had also roasted a lot of meat and handed it to Sam and the others. At first, Sam and the others were a little restrained, but after tasting the taste of the meat, they began to gobble down.

“Uncle Sam, what are you going to do in the future?”

Locke asked, looking at Sam and his team members beside the bonfire.

“Alas, we can’t finish this task. We have discussed and decided to leave Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts and take on some other tasks.” Sam smiled bitterly and said helplessly.

Locke nodded and asked curiously, “Are you going to be mercenaries all the time?”

Hearing Locke’s question, Sam suddenly fell silent. If it was in the past, he would have said without hesitation, “Of course, it’s the fastest way to get free and money to be a mercenary.”

But now he hesitated, especially this time he almost died because of magical beasts. If it weren’t for Locke, all the young people behind him might have died here.

Some of them were level-2 practitioners, and some were level-1 practitioners. If they went to some small nobilities’ side, they could also find a way to live, but they didn’t want to be restricted by the nobility. Moreover, as mercenaries, they were not only free but also able to obtain a high commission.

Seeing that Sam didn’t say anything, Locke smiled and said, “In fact, I’m the lord of a territory. If you want, you can come to my territory. Don’t worry. I will definitely give you a satisfactory reward.”

Sam was now a level-2 mage. Among the several people behind him, the older man was a level-2 warrior, and the other young people were also level-1 practitioners. These people were much more talented than Kerton, Sam, and others. If they were well trained, they would definitely become strong.

“You are a lord?”

Sam was a little surprised.

Locke nodded with a smile and said, “My territory is developing, and I’m short of helpers.”

Sam fell silent again. However, from his expression, Locke knew that he was a little interested.

After a long silence, Sam said to Locke, “I can’t make a decision for them. I need to discuss with them.”

Soon, Sam gathered his team members to discuss joining Locke.

The expressions of the team members varied. Some were excited, some were worried, and some were silent.

A few minutes later, Sam came to Locke and nodded, “Okay, we agree to work for you.”

After getting along for a while, they found that Locke was not as arrogant as other aristocrats.

Moreover, Locke was not only able to provide the top-grade medicines of level 2 casually, but also a strong man who could defeat the magical beast of level 4. They should be lucky to be under Locke’s command!

The second morning came. The mist had not yet dissipated, and the forest in the distance looked exceptionally mysterious and daunting.

“My Lord, there are many dangers in Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts. Would you like to think about it again?”

Sam said with concern. They also knew that Locke and Athena were going to go deep into Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts.

Although Locke was able to deal with the level-4 poisonous scorpion with black stripes, there were still many level-4 magical beasts that were stronger than the poisonous scorpion in the center. And in the inner area of the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts, there were many powerful level-5 magical beasts. It was said that there were even level-6 magical beasts in the innermost part of the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts.

Locke shook his head and said to Sam and others, “You can leave first.”

Seeing that Locke was very determined, Sam and the others stopped persuading him. They decided to leave the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts and wait for the two in Moca Hotel in Dikas City.

After saying goodbye to Sam and others, Locke and Athena continued to walk towards the inner area of the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts.

Compared with the outer circle, the magical beasts in the central circle were much stronger, basically level-3 and level-4 magical beasts.

Locke didn’t fear these magical beasts. After all, they were money! After killing them, Locke threw them into the system zone.

Three days later, Locke and Athena arrived at the inner circle of the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts.

In the evening, Locke had already dissected a level-4 short-horned magical bull, and Athena, as usual, made a fire and set up the table and chairs.

Half an hour later, Locke put the baked steak on the plate in front of Athena.

At the same time, a figure rushed out of the forest.

Locke was slightly taken aback by the sudden appearance of this figure, but he didn’t panic too much. With the presence of Athena, what kind of danger could it be?

Soon, the figure had rushed in front of the fire.

Only then did Locke see his face clearly.

The figure should be more than 60 years old, looking very embarrassed. His hair and beard were in a mess, and he looked shabby.

Locke sensed a faint magical aura from the old man, which was extremely powerful. Locke sensed danger from it. This aura was even stronger than that of the middle-aged slovenly man Locke had seen in Dikas City.

This old man might be the strongest one he had met except Athena and other gods!
