Chapter 917: Don’t Worry, I’ll Protect You Black Wind Plains. It was a vast and boundless piece of grassland. Its name came from the strong winds sweeping down from the Black Wind Mountains. There were countless kinds of star beasts living on the plains, and Black Wind Vultures were one of them. Wang Teng and his three temporary teammates arrived at a gathering point via the teleportation array. The teleportation cost them 10 GQC. Splitting the bill, each of them only had to pay 2.5 GQC. Wang Teng felt that the teleportation array was cheap. It was a convenient service! The four of them left the gathering point in a heavy vehicle, which they rented from a local business, and headed toward a certain point in the plains. After all, not everyone could carry a vehicle like this around with them. Vehicles were expensive, and to bring them along with you would mean that you needed to have extremely large space in your space equipment. Both would cost a lot of money. Xiong Dali and the others didn’t look like they were rich. Wang Teng didn’t have any spare money for now and couldn’t afford these things. He could only go with the flow. It was important to note that the currency used in the virtual universe was the same as in the real world. Virtual GQC and the real GQC were interchangeable and could be traded for each other. The vehicle sped in the boundless plains. The surrounding grass was almost the height of an adult. It would be difficult for ordinary vehicles to move quickly in such an environment. Only heavy vehicles had the capability. The wheels were half the height of a human, and the vehicle was much taller than an average human. The tall grass could not stop the large wheels of the vehicle from crushing them. ...... Wang Teng and the others sat in the vehicle to rest. Hasten was holding a map in his hand and trying to navigate while Brakay was driving. Wang Teng looked at Hasten’s dazed look and raised his eyebrows. He was doubting whether he would be able to lead them to their destination. He then glanced at Xiong Dali and saw that he was already sound asleep and snoring like thunder. Brakay seemed to have noticed Wang Teng’s gaze and looked at him through the rearview mirror. “He has always been like that. We take turns to be alert.” Wang Teng nodded and asked, “How strong are the Black Wind Vultures?” “In the group of Black Wind Vultures that we found, the king is at the seventh emperor level, while the rest are the first emperor level to the fifth emperor level. There are around 27 of them,” Brakay said with a grim expression. “Wang Teng, is this your first time hunting star beasts in the wild?” Hasten suddenly raised his head and asked with a mocking face. He wasn’t really mocking him. He was born that way. He had a handsome face, but the slightly raised arc of his mouth and eyes formed a despicable expression. It seemed as though he was ridiculing others all the time. Wang Teng had seen through him. He was from the dog race and very possibly from the husky clan. He nodded with a little surprise. This silly guy could actually tell that this was his first time in the wild. “First-timers would usually find someone to form teams. And they would talk less and observe more while going with the flow.” Hasten seemed to know that he was surprised and smiled proudly. “I see.” Wang Teng was stunned. “It will definitely be unfamiliar for the first time. Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.” Hasten patted his chest and assured him. “Just take care of yourself. You are always the one dragging us down,” Brakay said coldly. “Since when? My contribution to this team is not less than yours.” Hasten glared at him with disapproval. “Hmph, if you were more reliable, our loot would have at least doubled,” Brakay said. Hasten’s mouth twitched and was speechless. Wang Teng glanced at him strangely. Sure enough, he knew that this fellow was a silly one. “Cough, don’t worry. I’m definitely able to protect you.” Hasten cleared his throat and declared. ( ?ー ?) Wang Teng gave him an indescribable look. They finally reached the place where Xiong Dali and the others had found the Black Wind Vultures after traveling for more than an hour. It was at the outskirts of the Black Wind Mountains, where several bare mountains stood. As they approached, they saw a few Black Wind Vultures far away in the sky. After spotting them, they stopped the vehicle and looked for cover to hide the vehicle. Wang Teng and the others then prepared and were ready to act. They crouched in the tall grass and concealed their bodies. They then each used concealment and controlled their breaths. Black Wind Vultures were not ordinary star beasts. They were all powerful beasts who had reached the emperor level. Ordinary martial warriors who approached their territory would be captured by them and torn into pieces. Star beasts always had a strong sense of territory. “Be careful. When we get close to the Black Wind Vultures’ nest, we’ll deal with the king first.” Xiong Dali whispered, “Wang Teng, you are an earth elemental martial warrior. Cover us when the time comes. Earth counters wind. Stabilize our bodies and don’t let us be blown away by the strong winds.” Xiong Dali and the others cooperated very well. At this moment, the three of them were leading the way while Wang Teng was lagging behind. Xiong Dali looked back at him as he spoke, only to find that Wang Teng had disappeared. They were startled. “Okay!” Wang Teng’s voice came faintly from the grass on their left as he responded to Xiong Dali’s instructions. The three turned their heads in astonishment, but they still couldn’t find Wang Teng. They exchanged glances with each other and all saw a trace of amazement in their eyes. “This guy!” They acknowledged Wang Teng’s strength. This temporary teammate seemed extraordinary! “Maybe it’s just an advanced-rank concealment technique,” Xiong Dali said with uncertainty. “Uh… probably.” Brakay and Hasten hesitated, but they found it hard to believe that Wang Teng would be a master. After all, he had only displayed a strength of a seventh-level planetary-stage martial warrior, which was a little worse than theirs. They were at the eighth level and were experienced, while he looked like a rookie. However, after learning that Wang Teng was skilled in concealment, they were relieved. At least this temporary teammate of theirs wouldn’t be dragging them behind. Soon, the party reached the foot of the mountain and looked up. They saw a huge nest built on top of a bare mountain.
