Legendary Battle Pet

The police officer's words hit Koro Chin like a bolt from the blue. He never expected that his wife, who was traveling, would get caught up in an explosion and perish! Immediately, Koro Chin broke down in tears.

"I'll go right away, I'm going right now!"

As he wept, Koro Chin explained his situation to the passengers on the bus. His plight garnered sympathy, and everyone agreed to let Koro Chin turn back towards Horizon Base.

Ethen was also shocked, not expecting such a catastrophic explosion at Minghua Base. The fact that this explosion even had a connection to the driver of his bus left him feeling a bit uneasy.

"I need to act quickly, to improve my strength as soon as possible."

Ethen decided not to return with the other passengers. Instead, he got off the bus and began walking alone towards Canyon No. 2.

Koro Chin drove the bus frantically towards Horizon Base, desperate to reach Horizon Airport and catch a flight to Minghua...

The massive explosion shook the entire world. At this time, not only the ancient martial families but almost every human faction in the world felt immense pressure.

Morning Light university immediately ordered a lockdown, prohibiting any students from leaving. They urgently called back the group, including the Black falcon team, who were attending the Hundred universitys Competition at Horizon Base.

After receiving the call from the University, the team leader informed Ethen to return to the university. However, Ethen was solely focused on quickly enhancing his abilities and declined the teacher's suggestion.

Meanwhile, Ethen called Director Malik, hoping the Military Supplies Department could negotiate with the University on his behalf. Director Malik promptly contacted the management at Morning Light University.

After discussions, Morning Light university agreed to let Ethen temporarily stay at the Horizon Base to work with the Military Supplies Department instead of returning to university.

The team leader, meanwhile, led Alif, Mila, and Fuad back to the university. The three initially wanted to stay and wait for Ethen to complete his training and return together.

However, due to continuous urging from the University via emails, they had no choice but to follow the team leader and take the earliest flight back to Morning Light Base.

...

Ethen continued along the road and soon reached Qingfeng Town. Qingfeng Town is a necessary passage to enter Canyon No. 2 and the nearest town to it.

The town serves as a base for adventurers heading into the mountains, leading to a thriving trade scene that surpasses that of an ordinary small town.

After purchasing a map of Canyon No. 2 in the town, Ethen set off towards the canyon, backpack in tow. However, before he could leave the town, a charming real estate saleswoman stopped him.

The saleswoman, with her pleasant appearance, immediately approached Ethen to introduce a holiday development project near the town.

Ethen had no interest in buying property and was about to decline. But a statement from the saleswoman caught his attention: a 120 square meter apartment for only 20,000 Alliance Coins!

It's worth noting that even before the resurgence of spiritual energy, the housing market in the world of battle pets had already soared.

Properties costing tens of millions of Alliance Coins were not uncommon. Even though this was a relatively remote town, the price seemed unusually low.

"20,000, are you serious?" Ethen asked, intrigued.

"Of course, it's just 20,000! Sir, would you be interested in taking a look? The development is just a few hundred meters from here, a quick turn down the road ahead!" The charming real estate consultant, noticing Ethen's interest, eagerly introduced the offer.

Just then, a passing man on a bicycle stopped and gave Ethen a warning.

"Young man, don't let this young lady fool you!"

Hmm? Could I be dealing with a scammer?

Ethen looked at the saleswoman with a somewhat skeptical expression. In response, the saleswoman quickly clarified, "Sir, I'm not deceiving you. This apartment truly costs only 20,000."

"Oh? Then why is the price so low? Don't tell me it's because the developer is feeling generous!" Ethen questioned.

Hearing his skepticism, the saleswoman hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Sir, there's a reason for the low price. It's because this apartment is rumored to be haunted."

What? Haunted?

Ethen broke into a cold sweat. He finally understood why the property was so cheap. It turned out the saleswoman was leading him into a haunted house scenario.

Ethen rolled his eyes and was about to stride away when suddenly, a system notification sounded.

"Ding!"

"The system has released a side quest: First Kill of a Nether Beast! Task reward: Defeat any Nether Beast to receive a reward: one chance to spin the Lucky Wheel!"

"Mission Time: 2 hours. Mission Clue: A Nether Beast resides within that house..."

The system's prompt caused Ethen to pause abruptly.

A system task?

First Kill of a Nether Beast?

"Could it be that the haunting in that house is caused by a Nether Beast?" Ethen wondered.

Anything provided by the system is undoubtedly valuable. Since the reward was a spin on the Lucky Wheel, Ethen had no reason to pass it up, especially when he urgently needed to enhance his strength.

After a brief consideration, Ethen turned to the charming real estate consultant and said, "Take me to see it."

What?

The saleswoman was taken aback, not expecting the young man to want to see the house even after knowing it was rumored to be haunted.

"Sir, are you sure you want to take a look?" she reconfirmed.

"Yes."

Ethen nodded immediately, prompting the saleswoman to lead the way.

"Alright, please follow me!" she said, taking the lead as she guided Ethen toward the so called haunted house.

"Sir, this is the haunted house. I won't be going in. If you're interested, feel free to take a look inside," the charming saleswoman said awkwardly as she unlocked the door.

She had been working as a sales consultant here for half a year and had heard numerous rumors about the house being haunted, which naturally filled her with fear. Such eerie places were best avoided if possible.
