Beast Taming: I Can Bestow Entries-Chapter 53 Strange Illness

With the intermittent howling of wolves, one Thunder Teeth Wolf after another emerged from the cave, swiftly surrounding the Thunder Team.

The leading Wolf King was bigger than the other Thunder Teeth Wolves, with a thick mane of light purple on its chest, glittering purple thunder patterns on its limbs, and deep purple pupils, exuding a regal aura.

Surrounded by the pack, it stepped out of the cave and fixed its gaze on the members of the Thunder Team.

"Awoo~~" (Could you give us some food?)

Suddenly, the Thunder Teeth Wolf King let out a howl towards the five-person squad.

"Prepare to break through!"

Hearing the Wolf King’s roar, Liu Guo’an spoke up and summoned his main Spiritual Beast, Purple Lightning Thunder Zombie An’an.

"Captain Liu, I think it wants food,"

Chen Mo reminded them.

He suddenly realized that his beast language talent was quite useful, coming in handy in various situations, truly a "cure-all" talent.

If he hadn’t understood the meaning behind the Wolf King’s howl, given the threatening stance of the wolf pack, a battle was likely to erupt next.

Hearing Chen Mo’s reminder, the team members didn’t let their Spiritual Beasts launch an attack, but still kept them on high alert.

Indeed, the pack didn’t attack.

Soon, the Wolf King seemed to realize that the humans in front of him didn’t understand what it was saying, and so it used body language to indicate "wanting meat" through simple and crude gestures.

The Wolf King sat on its hind legs, paws joined, shaking up and down - reminiscent of a New Year’s bow, it was unexpectedly humorous.

Seeing this, Chen Mo took some pork chops he had conveniently taken from the cafeteria that morning out of the Heart of the Sea and threw them to the Wolf King.

"Awoo?"

The Wolf King caught the pork chops but didn’t immediately start eating, instead looking at Chen Mo with a perplexed expression.

Is this all? Are you treating me like a dog!?

"I don’t have any more."

Chen Mo replied using his beast language talent.

Of course, that was a lie; he actually had a lot more meat.

The amount of food that needed to be consumed daily in the Star Sea was astonishing, so naturally, Chen Mo would prepare some extra rations.

But why should he give meat to the Wolf King in front of him, to whom he had no obligation?

Just because it looked good?

"Awoo!" (I’ll exchange with you for Thunder Iron ore!)

The Thunder Teeth Wolf King had a subordinate carry out a silvery-gray stone flickering with purple lightning.

"Hold on a moment, I’ll ask our team leader."

Chen Mo roughly translated his conversation with the Thunder Teeth Wolf King to the rest of the team.

"To exchange Thunder Iron ore for food?"

Liu Guo’an was also taken aback.

Was this Wolf King out of its mind?

The value difference between Thunder Iron ore and food was vast, not to mention that Thunder Iron ore was very beneficial to the cultivation of Thunder Teeth Wolves.

"Xiao Mo, tell the Wolf King we agree to the exchange."

Only a fool would refuse such a trade.

"Your request is accepted! Cash on delivery."

"Awoo!"

The Thunder Teeth Wolf King howled to the sky and waved its paw, after which its wolf underlings carried out hundreds of pieces of Thunder Iron ore from the cave.

The Wolf King looked somewhat distressedly at the Thunder Iron ore flashing with thunder before it, and after thinking, it selected 100 pieces of Thunder Iron ore and put the rest back.

"Awoo!" (Exchange for 10 tons of meat!)

"5 tons!"

Since it was the Thunder Teeth Wolf King who had proposed the exchange, Chen Mo knew the bargaining power was in his hands and immediately halved the price.

Even though, compared to Thunder Iron ore, 5 tons of meat was only a small amount of money.

But Chen Mo’s main enjoyment was the pleasure of bargaining.

"Awoo~" (Deal!)

But unexpectedly, the Thunder Teeth Wolf King nodded in agreement right away.

This caused Chen Mo to wonder if he had undersold himself in the bargain.

However, this Wolf King didn’t seem too bright; it probably wasn’t an issue...

"We can only give you 2 tons of meat for now, the rest of the payment for the meat will be in installments, we’ll deliver more a few days later."

Chen Mo spoke up; among the members of the team, only he carried a large quantity of meat, but it was also only about 2 tons, so it had to be paid in installments.

"By the way, you still haven’t paid this month’s protection fee, so you’ll need to throw in an additional hundred pieces of thunder iron ore!"

Having collected the thunder iron ore, Chen Mo remembered what Captain Liu had just said and opened his mouth again.

"Awoo!"

The Thunder Teeth Wolf King seemed quite pained and wanted to default, but then quickly recalled some unpleasant experiences and reluctantly counted out another 100 pieces of thunder iron ore for Chen Mo.

After accepting the thunder iron ore, Chen Mo took out approximately 2 tons of meat from the Heart of the Sea and laid it in front of the Thunder Teeth Wolf King.

With a wave of his paw, the wolf underlings carried the meat back to their den.

"Brother Chen Mo is pretty awesome! Is your beast taming talent beast language?"

Cao Pengyu’s impression of Chen Mo changed.

If it was a beast language talent, giving them assistance might not be too bad.

Just like now, the value of a piece of thunder iron ore is roughly 10,000 dollars, which means they earned a full million!

"Getting these thunder iron ore pieces was mainly due to Chen Mo’s efforts. Xiao Mo, you should keep these thunder iron ore pieces for yourself!"

At that moment, Liu Guo’an spoke up.

"But Captain Liu..."

Cao Pengyu wanted to say something, but Liu Guo’an shot him a look, and the words died on his lips.

"We are a team; it’s better to split it equally! Without you guys taking me along, I wouldn’t dare to come to this place alone. Or, I might have already been eaten by the wolves by now."

Chen Mo said with a smile, then split the 100 pieces of thunder iron ore evenly among the four people.

He wasn’t particularly short on money after selling the Chi Wen’s Crystal Core fragment.

Being new to this team, he felt it was important to foster good relations with his teammates.

"I... I’d rather not."

Qing Shiwen said softly.

In the game, she wielded a heavy hammer, but in reality, she was a shy and introverted girl.

She felt uneasy accepting the thunder iron ore having not really done anything.

"Since Xiao Mo has said to split it, let’s all take it!"

It seemed Liu Guo’an saw through Chen Mo’s intention, took a sip from his liquor flask and said with a smile.

"Little brother Chen Mo, from now on Brother Cao’s got your back!"

After accepting the thunder iron ore, Cao Pengyu was beaming.

This kid was pretty cooperative, so as a senior, he thought he’d better keep an eye out for the youngster’s safety moving forward.

"Are you currently short on food?"

After taking the thunder iron ore, Chen Mo asked the Wolf King.

The Wolf King nodded; it was quite obvious.

"Why?"

"Awoo~" (We used to hunt on several nearby mountains besides collecting protection fees. But now, the creatures on these mountains have contracted some strange disease. A few days ago, some wolves under me ate these mutated creatures, and they also caught this weird disease. After getting sick, they completely lose their rationality and attack us.)

"A strange disease!?"

Chen Mo had a bad feeling in his heart.

Could it be he really had a protagonist’s aura, attracting trouble wherever he went!?
