Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning

[Godly Sea Steadying Needle: Inauspicious effect]

Eh? The effect was unknown? What the hell?

Seeing this hint, Ye Chen was surprised. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

“Master, I feel that this item is fated with me. It’s as if it should have been mine.”

At this moment, Monkey’s voice suddenly sounded in Ye Chen’s mind. Without waiting for him to ask, Kun Peng’s voice also sounded.

“Damn monkey, you’re shameless. This thing is fated with me.”

“Idiot, causing trouble?” Monkey’s indignant voice sounded.

“Quiet!” Ye Chen had a headache. These two fellows were not at peace anywhere but he was thinking about it.

The Sea Steadying Needle. He did not know if it was the legendary item on Earth. If it was, then this item was quite similar to a monkey.

According to Kun Peng, if his brother took a fancy to this thing, it would be ours. As for now, it was in the hands of others, so he would keep it for himself and find a time to snatch it.

It had to be said that Kun Peng had been with Ye Chen for a long time and its current line of thought was as strange as his. At this thought, Ye Chen looked over and saw the information about this man.

[Name: Brilliant]

[Tribe / Organization: Fan City’s City Lord Residence]

[Status: Captain of the Guards]

[Attack: 13,2400]

[Defense: 118,000]

Ye Chen exclaimed when he saw the message. Fortunately, he was not rash. This ordinary-looking man was actually from the City Lord Residence and his combat strength had reached 100,000 levels.

In the past few days, according to the information that Ye Chen had obtained in Fan City, the most powerful person was the City Lord. It was as high as a million. The other families’ high-end positions were also in the hundreds of thousands. However, this was also a minority. Most of them maintained around 100,000. Most of them did not exceed 100,000. After all, Fan City was only a small city.

Ye Chen also did not expect that he would meet someone from the City Lord Residence just because he was here to get information. Moreover, he was the captain of the guards. He could be considered to have some real power.

After sizing up their strength, Ye Chen still planned to let them safeguard it for him first. After all, he only had 70,000 to 80,000 combat strength now. After the Divine Beasts came to this world, their strength was increasing every day. He believed that in a few days, they would be able to obtain what belonged to them.

Monkey and Kun Peng did not know his strength and were still chattering non-stop. When Ye Chen said it, the tone of these two fellows immediately changed. They shouted that they would come back to take their things in the future. When the Divine Phoenix heard this, it rolled its eyes at these two fellows and felt ashamed to be with them.

However, things did not go according to his wishes. Ye Chen continued to plan to keep a low profile and figure out the strength of the forces here. However, Gao Ming also noticed him.

The guard captain of the City Lord Manor picked up the item and walked towards Ye Chen.

“Little brother, you look unfamiliar. You don’t seem to be from Fan City, right?”

Gao Ming came straight to Ye Chen and went straight to the point.

“Oh? Where did you see that?” Ye Chen was not afraid of him if he really fought with this guard captain of the City Lord Manor. Hence, he was not nervous at this moment. Instead, he was unusually calm.

“Hehe, I’ve been in Fan City for decades. I know all the streets and alleys here like the back of my hand, let alone some unfamiliar faces.”

The smug expression on Gao Ming’s face was obvious as if he was waiting for Ye Chen to praise him.

After about ten seconds, he saw that Ye Chen was still drinking tea quietly and felt a little depressed.

As a human spirit, Ye Chen naturally knew what he wanted to say. However, if he wanted to flatter someone, he could only apologize. He could not do it.

As if sensing Ye Chen’s disregard, Gao Ming’s expression also changed and became a little unhappy. Thinking about how he was in Fan City, although his combat strength was not very high, he was after all the guard captain of the City Lord Manor. Even those Patriarchs of large family clans had to give some face when they saw him. Ye Chen’s current attitude made him a little unhappy, so he said.

“It might be Little Brother’s first time in Fan City and you don’t know who I am. It’s alright. I’ll introduce myself now. I’m from…” Seeing that Ye Chen was not going to speak, Gao Ming wanted to directly reveal his identity to suppress him.

“I’m not interested in knowing who you are. Let’s cut to the chase. What’s your goal?” Before Gao Ming could finish speaking, Ye Chen interrupted him and said bluntly.

Ye Chen did not believe that the people in this world were so easy to talk to. He also did not believe that the people from the City Lord Residence were so easy to talk to. Hence, he must have his reasons for finding him.

Although he wanted to keep a low profile for a while to understand this world and give the Divine Beasts some time to increase their strength, it did not mean that he was afraid of things.

“You have a personality. I like it.” Seeing Ye Chen like this, Gao Ming smiled instead. Then, he heard him continue.

“You have something I want. Name a price and we’ll trade.”

Hearing this, Ye Chen was slightly shocked. Could it be that he knew about the Divine Beast?

In just an instant, Ye Chen rejected this question. If he knew that he had a Divine Beast, he would not have such an attitude. He could have directly attacked him when he was not prepared.

It had been a day or two since he came to Fan City. Ye Chen still had some basic knowledge about this world. In short, it was just a word.

In order for him to become stronger, benevolence and ethics were not important. If he discovered something that could quickly increase his strength, he could do anything. Once he discovered a Divine Beast or something that could greatly increase his strength, it was not rare for brothers to kill each other.

At this thought, Ye Chen secretly raised his guard and asked without leaving a trace, “I have what you need? How did you know?”

This was what Ye Chen wanted to know the most. After all, this world was too big and the Divine Beast was too dangerous. The only thing he could do was to constantly become stronger. If he could put an end to some things, he would do his best to put an end to them.

“Hehe, I didn’t expect Little Brother to be such a straightforward person. Then, I’ll be straightforward.” Seeing that Ye Chen did not react, Gao Ming was even more certain that Ye Chen had something good on him. He was not afraid that Ye Chen would run away. Just now, he had also checked Ye Chen’s combat strength. It was not as high as his. Hence, he was a little fearless and said directly.

“Brother, with your combat power, there’s a reason why you can become one of the guards of the City Lord Residence. A Beast Spirit Throne that I opened up previously has merged with a special Beast Spirit.. Therefore, whoever has a treasure on him, the Beast Spirit Throne in my body will react!”
