Little Family Treasure of the Apocalyptic Boss

Chapter 30: Settlement (Second Update)

The distant roar came from a level six Giraffe Beast.

For Ye Ze, a magical beast of this level was still a valuable prey. Moreover, the Giraffe beast carried a trace of ancient Giraffe bloodline within, which when refined and placed in the store, became a commodity highly sought after by various major planes.

However, the most important reason driving Ye Ze to take action was not these. It was the fact that the hunting team of beastmen was currently under attack by the Giraffe beast.

The little snake sub-beast hadn’t seen any signs of civilization for a long time.

In the winter of the barbaric world, everything was covered in snow. A glance revealed nothing but desolation and solitude.

Even if the little snake sub-beast didn’t mind, Ye Ze had no intention of spending the winter outside.

He always wanted to give the best to the little snake sub-beast.

“Nuo Nuo, there’s a group of beastmen up ahead in trouble. Let’s go help them out and inquire about the information of the settlement on the way. We’ll also take a look at the conditions of other residential areas. How does that sound?”

He chose a bustling and enlightened tribe to spend the first winter with the little snake sub-beast, making sure the little snake sub-beast could feel the festive atmosphere of the winter.

If they were lucky, they might find a town-level gathering place nearby, which would be even better.

The little snake sub-beast would definitely have a great time.

Ye Ze waved to the little snake sub-beast, signaling them to disembark with him. At the same time, he outlined the blueprint for the future with the timid little snake sub-beast. “By experiencing different places along the way, when we finally reach Dragon Palace City, the most prosperous city on the continent, we can compare our experiences and choose the place we like the most to settle down. What do you think?”

The bright future deeply attracted the little snake sub-beast.

Moreover, there was always a super reliable safe haven by his side.

Suddenly, the little snake sub-beast felt that the unfamiliar beastmen were not so scary anymore.

“Yeah!” The little snake sub-beast nodded vigorously, responding to Ye Ze and giving themselves courage.

Nuo Nuo, believe in yourself, you can do it!

Even if the people here don’t like your tail, there’s always Ye Ze who will never abandon you. Don’t be afraid, let’s go for it!

With determination in their heart, the little snake sub-beast swung their tail, closed their eyes, and dashed from the slanted plank on the ship’s side towards Ye Ze.

But it seemed they overshot.

Ye Ze was startled by this sudden movement. He quickly opened his arms and caught the little snake sub-beast, stopping their forward momentum. Looking at the silly little fool in his arms, he chuckled.

He raised his hand and tapped their nose, “Next time, whether you’re doing something or encountering danger, you can’t close your eyes, understand?”

Otherwise, one day they might lead themselves into trouble, still clueless and bewildered.

The little snake sub-beast thought he was going to fall to the ground. Finding support, he subconsciously grabbed onto Ye Ze’s chest clothes and quietly opened one eye.

Everything was fine.

Both eyes were wide open.

Successfully arrived by Ye Zi’s side.

Nuo Nuo was indeed the bravest!

The little snake sub-beast regained his spirit and patted Ye Ze’s chest, urging him, “Ye Zi, we can set off now! Let’s hurry to help the hunting team!”

Ye Ze had to admit.

Just thinking about the little snake sub-beast’s past experiences, he suddenly felt like he couldn’t say anything.

The fact that he could make such a brave decision was entirely because he believed in him.

The little snake sub-beast, who trusted him wholeheartedly, made one want to respond earnestly to that expectation rather than worrying about anything else.

Let’s take it slow in the future.

They still had plenty of time ahead.

Ye Ze chuckled lightly. He bent down, his arm passing through the little snake sub-beast’s tail, and lifted him up. “Alright, let’s go.”

It was the familiar sound of the wind again.

Even faster than the first time.

The little snake sub-beast held onto their arms tightly, wrapping them around Ye Ze’s neck.

He had made progress too.

He no longer feared the powerful speed symbolized by Ye Ze!

The hunting team under attack by the level six magical beast was quite powerful, with seamless cooperation, a strong offensive and defensive capability, and a beast leader as a pillar.

When Ye Ze arrived with the little snake sub-beast, apart from looking a bit battered, the team had not suffered any major casualties.

Ye Ze’s opinion of this team rose a few notches. But he still stood outside the battle circle, asking, “Do you need help?”

“Thank you, Lord! Regarding the spoils of this battle, our team will absolutely not have any thoughts of coveting them. Please rest assured!”

The captain of the team was a young beastman, but his experience in wilderness survival was quite seasoned. He immediately understood the meaning behind Ye Ze’s question and replied loudly.

Ye Ze nodded in satisfaction in his heart.

As long as they weren’t reckless.

Then gently placing the little snake sub-beast down, he instructed, “Nuo Nuo, wait for me here for a moment. I’ll be back soon.”

The little snake sub-beast stood up straight, indicating that he would behave.

Behind him, the groundhog emerged from the ground, leaving behind a string of raised soil mounds, standing guard like a patron god to the right of the little snake sub-beast.

The big penguin, which was supposed to have difficulty moving on land, surprisingly didn’t fall behind in speed at all. Its powerful claws pounded the ground from above, chasing after them with powerful jumps. It took up the left position.

Da Bai tracked Ye Ze’s figure all the way, flying with its wings in the air. After reaching its destination, it landed lightly and walked to the center.

Then, under the simultaneous stare of the groundhog and the big penguin, it instantly cowered and retreated, tucking its necks and pushing to the rear left and right positions.

Ye Ze felt somewhat relieved. His figure flickered and disappeared from the spot, but like an illusion, he returned and covered the little snake sub-beast’s eyes with his palm.

Except for the change in his movements, it was as if he had never moved at all!

The rescued beastmen’s pupils shook. They suddenly realized that when Ye Ze said he would be back soon, he meant he would be back very soon!

*Swoosh!*

A bloodline appeared on the neck of the Giraffe beast, and its snake-like head was chopped off.

Crimson vines emerged from the ground, instantly sealing the wound. Even the blood scattered in the air was absorbed without a trace, all turned into its own nourishment.

The red color became even more enchanting.

“Gulp.” The beastmen couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.

Before fear could rise, they saw the extraordinary vine swinging its leaves back and forth, skinning and boning the giraffe beast, sorting and packaging the meat, and presenting it to Ye Ze.

It was evident at a glance that this was an expert who must have done this countless times before.

The beastmen: “…”

So, this is how the top pet of the top boss at home behaves?

Feeling the bloodthirsty aura emanating from the red thorn vine, the beastmen stared blankly.

Ye Ze reached out to the red thorn vine and discreetly collected a strand of golden blood wrapped in leaves into his space. He picked up the most carefully packaged bundle of leaves and handed it to the little snake sub-beast. “Nuo Nuo’s ingredients.”

Then, without even looking, he put the remaining materials into the newly purchased storage ring.

“Thank you, Ye Zi.” The little snake sub-beast happily hugged the new ingredients, smiling with two small crescents. He tried hard to resist the impulse to open and study the precious bundle on the spot, instead putting it into his own ingredient warehouse.

– On the little snake sub-beast’s middle finger, he wore the same style of ring as Ye Ze.

However, in the barbaric world, there was no related culture, and they were unaware of Ye Ze’s deliberate flaunting.

The beastmen were now both worshipful and envious, completely speechless.

The life of the big boss’s family was indeed warm and wealthy enough to blind people.

That was the essence of the giraffe beast’s energy contained in its refined meat! Yet it was said to be given away freely, without any reservation.

Not to mention the sub-beastmen and females, even several beastmen like themselves, were jealous and eager to take over.

The captain of the team was the first to come back to his senses from the shock, and quickly stepped forward to thank him, “Thank you for your help, Lord. If Lord hadn’t intervened when we were attacked by the giraffe beast, we would have been in great danger by now. My name is Cang Ling, and this is my token of gratitude. Shamelessly speaking, if there is anything in the future where I can help the Lord, I will do my best and not refuse.”

Ye Ze calmly accepted the token without commenting on it.

As the leader of the branch of the merchant caravan, the captain was a beastman with quite sensitive intuition. After vaguely sensing Ye Ze’s intentions, he took the initiative to propose without Ye Ze speaking.

“May I ask if the Lord has any arrangements for these days? We will be returning to a nearby medium-sized tribe soon. It is currently the best time to admire the red maple forest outside the tribe. The scenery is beautiful, and the specialty red maple sugar is popular among young people. If the Lord is free, you can join us on a tour.”

The little snake sub-beast’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

But they still remained quietly by Ye Ze’s side, waiting for his arrangement.

Ye Ze chuckled and patted the little snake sub-beast’s head, then looked meaningfully at the team captain. “Sure. I’m just traveling around, so it’s good to visit more towns.”

The team leader felt his hair stand on end under Ye Ze’s gaze. He knew that his little schemes had been noticed by the other party, but seeing that Ye Ze did not show any dissatisfaction, his thoughts became active again.

After regrouping, while leading Ye Ze and his group back, he invited, “To be honest, we are a branch of the Feihong Merchant Caravan from Dragon Palace City. We are currently preparing to return to Little Dragon City after selling out our goods. We will be leaving in about three days after staying here.”

The team leader secretly glanced at Ye Ze’s expression, feeling more confident. He went on to introduce, “Medium-sized towns are much more prosperous than medium-sized tribes, and the atmosphere is also more open and harmonious. I’m sure you understand that the environment inside the city is naturally better. The higher the level of the city, the more care it gives to its residents.”

“As for Little Dragon City, as a mid-sized city about to advance to a large-scale city, it is one of the outstanding ones. It is one of the few mid-sized towns where trade is concentrated by the commercial guilds. While it may not control the entire continent, it at least commands half of the resources from the continent. There are all kinds of shops for dining, drinking, and entertainment, and it’s only a four or five days’ journey from here. It’s very suitable for the Lord and your friend to spend the winter vacation.”

“I wonder if the Lord is willing to accompany us to Little Dragon City?”
