"Don't get distracted, girl."

"Slowly bring the apple toward the Behemoth Crocodile."

Sylvie's calm and composed voice resounded in the head of the girl holding the Red Jade Apple.

After her words, the girl holding the apple nodded her head like a chicken pecking on rice and slowly moved towards the monster.

Her steps were slow and steady; she didn't want to alert the beast.

Although the Behemoth Crocodile was a monster with cultivation above the Nascent Soul realm, it was said to be easier to deal with compared to other ferocious monsters because of its lazy temperament.

Unless the Behemoth Crocodile's life was threatened, it wouldn't randomly attack cultivators.

When the girl was only a hundred meters away from the beast, the Behemoth Crocodile's nose suddenly twitched.

Its gargantuan head turned, and it looked at the girl with its reptilian eyes.

An overwhelming sense of tyranny and fear filled her entire body.

The beastly gaze almost made the girl's legs go weak; every single cell in her body wanted her to run and get away from this place as far as possible.

"Calm down, girl. It's not going to eat you," Sylvie said in an attempt to appease her fear.

But Sylvie's words seemed to have the opposite effect than intended; the girl felt even more aggravated after hearing her words. In the next moment, tears appeared in the corners of her eyes.

If the huge croc was not going to eat her, then why was Sylvie sending her and not doing the simple task herself?

"Ah! Just throw the apple towards the croc's mouth." At this time, Sylvie's frustrated voice resounded in her head.

The girl's eyes instantly brightened. Now she could finally get rid of this cursed apple.

Without delay, the girl threw the apple using all the strength that she could muster.

The apple drew a beautiful arc in midair and appeared in front of the Behemoth Crocodile's scaly head.

The Behemoth Crocodile's reptilian eyes were fixed on the small red dot moving towards its majestic head at a snail's pace.

Suddenly, the space around the apple seemed to twist, and in the next moment, the Red Jade Apple suddenly disappeared in midair.

"Here's our chance, girls! Move fast and throw the next apple," Sylvie shouted in a loud voice, excitement visible on her face.

The Behemoth Crocodile was insanely lazy until you offered it an extremely juicy Red Jade Apple.

Now that they had the Behemoth Crocodile's attention, they could slowly guide it away from the village.

The mission could be said to be partially complete.

Smallsun was a tiny village situated beside one of the tributaries of the mighty Northern Dragon river.

It was a very small village compared to the grand scheme of things in the Green Heaven World, but it was relatively famous on the Green Heaven Web for two things.

One was the Dark South Piranha, one of the main ingredients of the two-star pill 'Sturdy Wall Pill.' It was an extremely popular pill known for stabilizing a cultivator's spiritual space.

Smallsun village was one of the suppliers of the rare Dark South Piranha. Although there were other villages supplying the same Piranha, Smallsun village was preferred over the others by the buyers because of quality.

The second thing was that the number of talents that managed to enter the top hundred thousand of the Ranking was extremely large compared to its small population.

These two reasons allowed Smallsun village to carve out an identity of its own in this extremely fantastical world of Green Heaven.

David and his group moved through the marshy waters when they really didn't need to; they could just fly in the sky, but for unknown reasons, they didn't.

After moving for half an hour, an outline of a small village appeared in their vision, situated atop a small mountain bounded by a gentle streams from both sides that seemed to disappear into the ground.

The Smallsun village was seemed to welcome David and his three monstrous companions.

David's gaze also flashed with happiness after finally being able to see human habitation after a long time.

While, David was feeling joyful. Below his spiritual space, the huge Ancient Dragospider's gem-like eyes flashed with intelligence.

Its humongous tails slithered in the empty void below the spiritual space. The dreadful dimensional storm that made cultivators shiver in fright seemed to have no effect on its body.

Atop its head rested an almost hundred-thousand-kilometer-long Spiritual Space flashing with gray color.

With each passing second, the snake's shiny body became even more lifelike and otherworldly.

The scene looked extremely beautiful but at the same time incomparably scary, similar to a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly and flying away into freedom.

"Such pure mana!"

"No wonder I awakened before the expected time." A voice filled with surprise and a tinge of shock resounded in the void. If David had been there to witness this scene, he might have been able to identify who this voice belonged to, but sadly he wasn't there.

David and his companions at this time were standing in front of a large mountain gate, patiently waiting for their turn to enter the village.

From the foot of the mountain, David was easily able to see the entire village with a single glance.

And that casual glance provided him with tremendous information about Smallsun village's demography.

At the top of the mountain, buildings were sparse and were lavishly decorated with opulent materials. David was even able to find an especially shining roof studded with some sort of purple gemstones.

Clearly, at the top, people with power and influence lived.

As one moved downwards towards the foot of the mountain, the buildings became more congested, and the opulence receded by a small margin but was still there.

Further down, it was substantially reduced but was still present, indicating the economic condition of the village.

If the lowest class of people could afford to live there a little extravagantly, it was enough to tell how prosperous the village really was.

David's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a loud, gruff voice, "100,000 low-grade spirit stones per person."

Saying those words was a large pot-bellied middle-aged man with not a single strand of hair on his head.

Whenever he opened his mouth, a strong smell of alcohol assaulted the noses of people lining up in the queue.

The man was dressed in a yellow long coat with a pair of shorts of the same color, making him look comical.

But none of the people standing in the line dared to laugh at his appearance.

The bald man was rather famous; people of the nearby villages called him the Mad Yellow Tyrant because of his extremely tyrannical fighting style.

He was known to have fought against thirty Golden Core Realm cultivators single-handedly and escaped alive.

"Don't make me repeat myself, or you will have to pay the bar's bill for alcohol and wine today," Bald Yellow spoke again in an extremely boorish way.

"Here, sir."

After hearing the words of Yellow Baldy, the man standing before him shivered and hurriedly handed him a small purse filled with spirit stones.

The man feared Yellow Baldy's strength, but he feared the bill even more.

"Good lad!" Yellow Baldy laughed and slapped the man's shoulder a few times.

The man didn't even try to resist and hurriedly slipped away when he got the chance.

Next, it was David and his companions' turn.

"Same rules, and don't make me wait." His words were loud, and his gaze a little unhinged as he looked at Ruby with not-so-kind intentions.

Suddenly, a bag filled with spirit stones moving at an extremely fast speed appeared in front of the baldy's face.

Caught unprepared, Yellow Baldy quickly reacted and tried to grab the bag.

Bam!

As soon as his hand made contact with the bag, Yellow Baldy's face turned ugly.

In the next moment, he was thrown backward because of the intense force. It was only after he had slid a couple of steps that Yellow Baldy managed to regain his footing.

His carefree attitude had disappeared like snow in the scorching sun.

Yellow Baldy's eyes moved from the bag in his hand to the black-haired youth looking at him with a plain gaze.

Suddenly, Yellow Baldy's face turned unslightly.

"Fuckin hell!" Yellow Baldy shouted in his head his words filled extreme filled regret.

He seemed to have offended a big shot unknowingly.

The people standing beside the gate looked at this scene with gloating looks in their eyes, and some of them even started to discuss in hushed voices.

"Heaven has eyes; finally, this bully is going to face retribution."

"I saw it coming from a thousand miles away," a few cultivators who had discerning eyes commented from the sidelines, their voices filled with pity.

The reaction was mixed; some people loathed Yellow Baldy's behavior. He bullied the weak and avoided the strong, even though he himself had a fearsome reputation.

David didn't say anything else and walked inside, followed by his companions.

Although he wanted to avoid the limelight and act low-key, that didn't mean any random monkey could act domineeringly in front of him. S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Ruby didn't even seem to spare a glance at Yellow Baldy, as if he didn't even exist.

The usually talkative, arrogant duckling was especially quiet today; it appeared he seemed to have been greatly affected by today's accident.
