Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 2745 - The Three Hellish Flood Dragon Brothers

In fact, Zi Zhen’s reaction was normal. Xeno fatigue was terrifying, and the storms caused by a person who could solve it were equally frightening.

Tianming wasn’t strong enough. If he had the power to protect himself, he could directly accumulate a terrifying number of order fragments with his skill. But the beginning was the most difficult, so he could only choose people like Mister Gu and Zi Zhen, who were solitary and kind-hearted.

Otherwise, if he encountered someone heartless, after he helped them, the other party might kidnap him to make money.

Even if Zi Zhen's performance was okay for now, Tianming didn't trust her completely. Otherwise he would immediately help her solve her unprecedented tenth-grade xeno fatigue.

After resolving two curse vortices, Tianming stopped.

He could clearly see that the girl's physique was terrifying. She showed astonishing recovery ability; after a short cultivation, her previously lost cosmoforce had actually increased quite a bit. Her upper limit was restored, making her combat power noticeably increase.

"How do you feel now?" Tianming asked.

"My combat power has returned to the level of the third cosmic chart. However, xeno fatigue is still present, so I'm not sure if it will have any impact in a fight," Zi Zhen said.

The threat of a third-level cosmic cartographer was already quite significant for Tianming. He couldn't let someone he wanted to control be too much stronger than himself.

"Not bad." Tianming stared into her eyes and continued, "Now we can have a good talk."

"Yeah, yeah." Zi Zhen changed her previous arrogant demeanor and nodded like a little cat.

"Do you understand that my ability is enough to shock the entire Antiquitas Mortis?" he asked.

"I know. But I won't tell." Zi Zhen nodded.

"I believe you," Tianming said.

"Thank you."

Upon hearing those two words, the feeling of being trusted flowed into her heart like a sweet spring.

"Now, you follow me. I need your help," Tianming said.

"Okay." Zi Zhen nodded.

"To solve xeno fatigue for you also exhausts me. However, as long as there’s enough time, I can help you remove the remaining eight curse vortices, completely freeing you from this demon," he said.

"What can I do for you?" Zi Zhen asked.

Her question surprised Tianming a bit. He could tell that she only wanted to repay him. He thought for a moment and said, "Actually, you don't need to be too grateful to me. Helping you is also conditional."

"It's okay. No matter what the condition is, even if it's death.... To experience the feeling of living normally, for me is enough. In this life, I'm not afraid of death, but from beginning to end, I haven't lived as a normal person. It's a bit regrettable." Zi Zhen smiled wryly.

"When did you get xeno fatigue?" Tianming asked.

"In my mother's womb, and every ten years after that it increased by a level," she said.

"Seriously, you're only a hundred years old?" Tianming was shocked. In a situation where xeno fatigue continued intensifying, a person who was inflicted with it in their mother's womb actually forcibly cultivated to the fifth cosmic chart? What kind of monster was she!

"Yeah." Zi Zhen nodded.

"Fortunately, I'm younger than you," Tianming laughed.

Zi Zhen was speechless, but she believed him.

Tianming became more curious about her. He wanted to know if such a person solving their tenth-grade xeno fatigue would have a terrifying effect similar to overcoming Lifesbane.

Curiosity was curiosity, but he wasn’t in a hurry. He directly said, "I came to the Xenoabyss to get order fragments, but it's a bit difficult with my current strength alone. Now you help me get some and I’ll help you remove two xeno fatigue vortices every time I break through a level until your xeno fatigue is completely cleared."

Originally, he wanted to say that, for every order fragment he obtained, he would remove two curse vortices for her, but as he broke through to higher realms, the number and quality of order fragments needed would increase, making it difficult to estimate.

So he changed it to the standard of his own breakthrough.

That way, even if Zi Zhen's xeno fatigue continued being cleared and her strength increased, she wouldn’t completely escape his control and revolt against him. He knew she wouldn't, but he had to be cautious because she was someone he just met.

Zi Zhen understood. However, she didn't care at all. Instead, she earnestly said, "So you want to use order fragments to help you break through five levels?"

"Four are enough. Today, the two curse vortices are a welcome gift." Tianming smiled.

Zi Zhen shook her head and said, "No, five."

"Okay, as you wish." Tianming nodded.

"However, blindly using order fragments to break through isn’t conducive to the growth of your order. It may affect your control over it and your foundation may be damaged. Coupled with insufficient comprehension, it’ll be easy to collapse," Zi Zhen reminded.

"Don't worry about that. I can even swallow xeno fatigue," Tianming said.

"So, you swallowed the power of xeno fatigue?" Zi Zhen asked, worried.

"Yes."

"Will it affect you?"

"Concerned about me?"

"Just a casual question." She lowered her head.

"Then that's it." Tianming asked Yin Chen if there was any information about order fragments on its side. Then he turned to Zi Zhen and asked, "Do you know where there are order fragments suitable for us to rob?"

"I know." Zi Zhen nodded.

"Huh?" Tianming had just casually asked and didn't expect any surprises. "Tell me about it."

Zi Zhen nodded and said, "Follow this river to the end. There’s a freezing cold underground pool where three hellish flood dragon brothers live. In that abyssal pool, they opened a Deepsea Shop. During normal times, the three brothers do business, and during the blackout period they go out to 'replenish their stock'. Before the arrival of the blackout period, someone said that they saw five order fragments in their shop. It’s already spread."

"Showing wealth before the blackout period... deliberately letting people see it? Tianming asked.

"It's possible. The blackout period is the 'cleanup plan' set by the capital for the Ninth District. In recent years, more and more people have poured into the capital and are basically placed in the Ninth District. Every blackout period, a part of the population will be purged....

“In order to survive and stay alive, and to compete for more resources, everyone will rack their brains. The order fragments of the three brothers may be bait for prey to deliver themselves and automatically replenish goods for them," Zi Zhen said.

"Seems you’re not that dumb!” Tianming laughed.

"When was I ever dumb?" Zi Zhen asked in confusion.

"When you turned around."

Zi Zhen was very embarrassed and used her toes to draw circles on the ground.
