Chapter Ninety-Three: Divvying Up the Spoils Among Brothers

  The next day was the day when my family held a celebration for me. I had been staying in the palace since I returned yesterday and hadn't seen any of my brothers yet, but they came to find me early this morning.

  It's been years since we last met, and all my brothers have grown up. Especially the eldest brother, who is only 15 years old but looks like a young man in his early twenties. Not only does he have a mature face, but his physique has also become incredibly robust, almost reaching 2 meters tall with thick limbs that make him look as strong as a bear. It seems he has fully inherited our father's martial arts talent. As for the other brothers, they are more normal, around 1.8 meters tall, and their movements are extremely agile, showing that they have not slacked off in their training over the years. Each of them has darkened skin from being out in the sun. Unlike me, with my delicate skin. I should have inherited more of my mother's traits, right? That's just my humble guess!

  "Xiao Wu, you're something else!" Second Brother came over and patted me on the back, saying "Even Nikola can't handle you!"

  "Haha!" My big brother just stood there watching me with a silly grin on his face, he rarely speaks!

  "Hello, brothers!" The poor Tao greeted and smiled: "Look at you one by one, full of energy, living a good life in the capital? As for Nicholas, it was purely accidental!"

  "Cut the crap and get to the point!" Third Brother said with a look of impatience.

  "Right, hurry up!" Fourth Brother said.

  "What do you want? Speak!" asked the poor Taoist bluntly.

  "Cut the crap, of course it's a WoW egg!" Third Brother shouted: "You promised us, didn't you?"

  "What?!" The poor Daoist asked in surprise: "When I left, the three demonic wolves that were left behind gave birth to 14 cubs, didn't any of you get one?"

  "Shut up!" Third Brother said: "You're almost choking me to death!"

  "What's going on?" The poor Taoist said: "Tell me quickly!"

  "We've only seen seven here, and those don't know who they belong to, Mom won't say either!"

  "Oh! Seven left is not a small number!" The poor Taoist knew that the grandmother had taken them away, but the mother didn't tell them, fearing they would talk carelessly.

  "Two princes took two, and the other four big families, except for the Ishihara family, one each, so five were gone just like that! The last two were divided between our two older cousins, who said they were older and we were younger, and that we would have opportunities in the future!" Third brother said gloomily: "This thing is only produced on the mainland about ten or so a year, what chance do we have of getting one?"

  "It's a good thing you promised to help us find it. We only gave them the opportunity because we trusted you!" Fourth Brother said with a sarcastic tone.

  "Don't let us down!" The third and fourth brothers are indeed twins, their words can be coordinated so tacitly!

  "Hmph! Have I ever disappointed you? The poor Taoist said disdainfully: "Speak up, do you want to fly in the sky or run on the ground, swim in the water or dig in the soil. Choose whatever you like!"

  These years, I haven't been idle. In the Spirit Forest, I scattered a large number of scouts and searched several times within a few thousand miles around my territory. Although it's only a small part of the Spirit Forest, I discovered thousands of high-level magical beasts inside, almost all types are available. I selected some species that are suitable for human combat cooperation, captured them, and gained a lot! Because each time I go out, it takes dozens of days and a lot of manpower, so later on, I only caught eighth-level or higher adult magical beasts, while others were only young beasts or beast eggs.

  "Really? That's great! Tell us quickly, what is it?" Second Brother urged.

  "So far, I have three eighth-level magical beasts in stock. They are an eighth-level intermediate Iron Armor Beast, an eighth-level lower-grade Thunder Leopard, and an eighth-level lower-grade Subterranean Spider. There are also over a dozen young beasts and beast eggs that are sixth or seventh level. The rest of the trash has been sold. I recommend two types of beast eggs to you: the Ground Dragon and the Bipedal Flying Dragon!"

  "No! I want the Iron Armored Beast!" Second Brother exclaimed first.

  "No way, I want it!" Third Brother said.

  "It's mine!" Fourth Brother shouted.

  "I'm the eldest, I get to choose first! No one is allowed to fight with me!" Even Lao Da couldn't sit still anymore.

  Several people started arguing, each wanting the Ironclad Beast. This Ironclad Beast was indeed the most suitable breed for riding among the eighth-level magical beasts. Its body length, including its tail, was over ten meters, with a fiery red scales all over its body, and its defensive power was comparable to that of dragons, which is why it was called the Ironclad Beast. It looked similar to an enlarged chameleon, with a huge mouth that could swallow a horse in one bite, razor-sharp claws and teeth that could easily tear through high-grade iron armor, especially since it could spew flames from its mouth, like a flamethrower, with a single tongue of flame able to shoot out nearly 30 meters away, lasting for about half a minute, with a temperature so high that it was absolutely capable of melting gold and iron!

  When he first caught it, Caro was shocked. He didn't think to try the Ironclad Beast's flame tongue attack. The water-based magic armor specially made by the dwarves for him only lasted a few seconds in the face of the flame tongue attack before being destroyed. If Caro hadn't had strong fighting spirit and run quickly, he would have been burned to ashes at that time! He was so scared that he ran away with his tail between his legs and told me that no matter how much money I offered him, he wouldn't dare mess with this thing again! In desperation, I could only ask Gai to secretly take action at night when we were camping, knock the Ironclad Beast unconscious, and then drag it back in the morning when it was still out cold. Caro still doesn't know what happened and thinks the Ironclad Beast suddenly fell ill!

  "Halt!" The poor Taoist shouted loudly: "You're all so old, how can you still be so brainless?"

  "What does it mean?" asked Second Brother.

  "Signing with a grown-up monster is about subduing it first. You all put together aren't even enough for it to scratch, what are you thinking?"

  "What? You won't cheat?" Second Brother said

  "Right, first give it a laxative, make it have diarrhea for a few days, exhaust its energy!" said Third Brother.

  "Then get someone else to beat it half to death, best break its four limbs, anyway after signing the contract it can be treated, just see how fierce it becomes!" Fourth Brother said.

  "Suggestion! Before acting, ask a master to add some pain amplifying curses, the effect will be better!" Big brother's words are the most ruthless.

  "Cold sweat! I, the poor Daoist, was covered in cold sweat at that time. Who would have thought that some people who are usually kind and gentle could come up with so many sinister tricks for this demon beast?! "Dizzy! None of you should think about pulling it off, this thing I must give to my father, he has never had a good mount, you all know, he still needs to go to the battlefield. Besides, high-level magic beasts above level 8 have already gained initial wisdom, your strength is too weak, they are clear-minded and would rather die than sign a contract with you, so just give up on that idea! You should choose between the Earth Dragon and the Double-Footed Flying Dragon egg instead! They are worth hundreds of millions outside!"

  "Really can't?" The four asked in unison.

  "Nonsense! Maybe in another 30 years, you'll be done!"

  "Ah! 30 years have passed! My children are all grown up." Second brother helplessly said: "I'll just have to settle for a Double-Footed Flying Dragon!"

  "Cut! How dare you say it's difficult?" The brothers all despise him together!

  "We also want to be Double-Footed Flying Dragons!" Third Brother and Fourth Brother said in unison: "We are good at coordinating, and our flexibility in coordination is even more in the sky!"

  "I also want a pair of flying dragons!" The older brother chimed in: "Let's call ourselves the Flying Dragon Squad, and see if those birds at school still dare to disobey us?"

  "Whoa!" The poor Taoist hastily reminded him: "Big brother, your weight? Is it over the limit?"

  "Ah! ~" Big brother was disappointed as soon as he heard it.

  "Haha!" The brothers burst out laughing.

  "Big brother, for the first time I'm no longer envious of your figure!" Third brother laughed.

  "Go! I'm only 400 catties, this is a flying dragon, how can you not carry me?" Big brother asked me with a sullen face.

  "The adult two-legged flying dragon is only about four or five meters tall, and if it carries a load of 500 catties, it can't fly anymore." The poor Taoist explained.

  "Hah! I'm still short of 100?" Big brother exclaimed happily

  "You're not wearing clothes, nor holding a weapon? The war armor and the giant sword you use weigh over 100 pounds!" I couldn't take his ignorance anymore, so I simply said: "You'd better get a land dragon instead, they can run on the ground with 600 pounds and still run faster than horses!"

  "Alright!" The big brother said with a nod.

  "Alright, I'll discuss with my mother to arrange for you as soon as possible!" Then, the poor Taoist said with a smile: "I heard from Big Brother that there are some disobedient people in your school, tell me about it! Grandfather arranged for me to go to school with you, just right to gain some experience!"

  "Haha! Now that you're here, with you around, the five of us brothers can turn the whole city upside down again!" They all shouted excitedly, looking like they were eager for chaos to erupt everywhere!

  Awesome! You're speaking like a terrorist!
