The legendary warrior novel Chapter 235

...

Along the way, the deputy leader had no other cunning intention. He was focused on leading them to where the Rats stored the treasures they robbed. He would not dare play any tricks on Ricky and Tyson after he had learned how strong the two were. All he wanted was to finish his task - taking them to their desired destination - and then beg them to let him go.

As for the beasts, they fled and hid themselves here and there, afraid that Ricky and Tyson would come after them. Though they were not intelligent creatures, they had the instincts to run away from danger. Beasts at the advanced stage of Bone Reinforcement did not appear along the way either. They were usually found deeper in the marsh.

As a result, Ricky and his team did not face any threat. All they did was concentrate on reaching their destination at great speed. About six hours later, the terrain changed and they saw small hills.

It was a dark and frightful place. If people came here alone, they would be frightened.

"Here we are. There is a small entrance over there. Go inside and you will discover a large cave. That is where we hid the treasures and resources we robbed," the man said as he pointed at the entrance, his voice trembling in fear.

"Is there any danger in that cave? Did you set up any traps?" Ricky asked.

"No, no, no! I did not do anything here. But our leader placed ten crocodiles at the fifth grade of Bone Reinforcement somewhere inside. I'm not sure whether they are still there to protect the cave or…"

"Howl! Howl!" Before the man finished his sentence, they heard roars. Ricky and Tyson took a look around to check where they were coming from. Two crocodiles rushed out of the hill and dashed towards them. They were obviously hostile, their teeth grinding against each other.

"As far as I could tell, there should be four crocodiles," Tyson said with confidence. "Let me deal with them!"

"Ha-ha, sure, please. You are the only one who can handle them. I would definitely die if I fought against them," Ricky replied, a smile resting on his face.

"That's true, ha-ha. Here I come!" Tyson laughed out loud and then attacked the beasts, intending to slaughter them mercilessly!

'I saw his fight against the Rats; it's clear that Tyson could only fight against beasts at the sixth grade of Bone Reinforcement when exerting his full strength. According to what Alva once told me, he is a second-class genius, a lower kind for that matter, ' Ricky reasoned in his heart as he watched Tyson fight the crocodiles.

'Yet in the Realm of Wildness, he is still at the top. Generally speaking, he is strong and righteous, so is Kristen. Probably I should find a chance and convince them to join the Misty South Faction!'

It didn't take long for Tyson to kill the crocodiles.

He walked towards Ricky while whistling. "It's all done," Tyson said and then turned to the man. "Lead the way! We're going inside the cave!"

The man nodded with fear and did what he was ordered to do.

It was a dark and dank cave. The ground was covered with piles of hay to absorb the humidity which made it possible to breathe inside. Scattered on the hay were tons of cultivation resources. There were dozens of resources piling up into tiny hills. Ricky and Tyson were thrilled to see them. They made a rough calculation and assumed that there were about dozens of piled treasures!

Thousands of gold and silver coins shimmered brightly on the ground, almost blinding to the eyes. Additionally, there was a variety of medicinal herbs and cures, a large number of Treasures from Heaven and Earth and some jars containing pills lying around.

And various mortal weapons!

"Oh, my God! Look at all these stuff! They are as valuable as the properties of two demi-immortal organizations! No wonder those guys made a generous offer to the Sky Manor and asked the Chief to help!" Tyson swallowed before he said with greed in his voice. His eyes lit up at the sight of these treasures.

"The Chief said we would be reward with one tenth of them, right? Even if we get only one twentieth, that would still be plenty for the three of us!' he added.

The so-called deputy leader, on the other hand, felt his heart ache in agony. He hated to part with these resources. They once belonged to the Rats, his gang! However, there was nothing he could do but watch Ricky and Tyson take them away. He sighed desperately. However, his priority for the time being was to stay alive. He couldn't afford to be worried about other things but his own life.

"Yes, this is just incredible! I think the Rats robbed and gathered these resources here all because their leader could tame beasts," Ricky said. "Otherwise, they would never be able to snatch so many precious resources within just a few months!"

"Agreed! Oh, talking about Rattus's identity as a beast tamer, I couldn't remember when those organizations provided this crucial information to us in advance. I'm sure they must have known about it, yet they kept it from us. How sly of them! I'll definitely tell the Chief about it once we return to the Sky Manor. I'm sure the Chief will demand them to pay more for their deception!" Tyson ranted unhappily.

"Please don't get angry. I can understand why they kept it from us. They were afraid we'll get our hands on these treasures. They did not want us to harvest them with ease. That was probably the reason," Ricky comforted Tyson. He did not feel angry at all.

He was already used to this jungle where everyone had the tendency to cheat since the day he was framed as a traitor by the Nan Clan.

"Please! Can I leave now? Don't kill me, please. You promised you would let me go," the man asked with a trembling voice, eyes filled with fear.

"All right! Leave, now! It would only be a waste of my time and energy to kill you," Tyson waved him away impatiently.

"Thank you so much! Both of you! I'm leaving now! Please, enjoy them!" The man felt enormous relief. He knelt down and crawled towards Tyson and then ran out of the cave quickly. Within a few seconds, he had already disappeared into the distance and could no longer be seen.

"How I wish I could slap that bastard to death! Unfortunately, I did promise to let him go once we got a hold of these treasures!" Tyson recalled unhappily.

"Just let him be! Should he dare show himself again, you can easily kill him!" Ricky consoled him. "We better collect all of these and leave this place!" he then proposed.

"I think the remaining members of the Rats who survived and ran away would spread the news about what we've done. That bastard who just left a few moments ago will definitely inform the others about this cave. If we stay here, I'm afraid we'll have another fight coming to us. That is the last thing we want. We can no longer fight. We're still recovering from the last fight and Kristen is still in a coma."

"Yes, you are absolutely right!" Tyson nodded eagerly.

"Didn't the Chief give you some bigger storage bags before you left the Sky Manor?" Ricky asked. He didn't want to show his storage ring and his two zones for the time being. All he could use were the two storage bags he had, but they weren't big enough. Only about one fifth of these resources could possibly fit.

"No. But fortunately, the Chief gave us a storage ring!" Tyson smiled and took out a golden ring from his pocket.

He stared at the storage ring for a while, admiring it with his eyes.

"Wow! You have a storage ring! How generous of our Chief to give such a precious treasure!" Ricky sighed in surprise.

"No, no. It doesn't belong to me! The Chief just lent it to me to help us take these resources back! It's not our possession. I'm supposed to return it when we get back," Tyson explained in response.

"I don't think the Chief would ever give it up easily. A storage ring is highly precious. It is as valuable as all these resources, more or less!"

"Yeah, you are right!" Ricky replied with a low voice.

They began collecting all the resources into the storage ring without any hesitation and then hurriedly backtracked and left the Black Marsh!

As they predicted, many people arrived at the Black Marsh within four hours after they had left. They scrambled to come on time, hoping to gain some treasures the Rats had. However, they were all too late. Nothing was left but some beasts which were terrified to death.

...

While they were busy searching the Black Marsh, Tyson, Ricky, and Kristen had already arrived at another remote place far away from the Black Marsh. They found a secret cave where they could stay and wait for Kristen to wake up.

While they were waiting, Ricky and Tyson investigated the resources in the storage ring, curious about how much they could get.

They initially thought that one tenth of these resources wouldn't be much amount when distributed into three people. However, the result surprised both of them. They made a rough estimation and concluded that one tenth of the resources would amount to almost thirty thousand golden coins!

Plus the two thousand gold coins, each of them would have twelve thousand golden coins!

That was a lot of money for anyone. Even a demi-immortal warrior, who lived a wealthy life, would find it to be a large fortune.

"This is huge! The mission brings us twelve thousand golden coins! I did not expect that at all! I'm sure I will soon reach the sixth grade of Bone Reinforcement and be on the way to the seventh grade!" Tyson exclaimed with excitement.
