# Chapter 946: Daring to Dig on the Grand Duke's Head

Watching the Pocket Rabbits being so stinky that they rolled their eyes and foamed at the mouth on the grassland!
Liu Mang's mouth twitched. Is this really your way of protecting them? Do you have to be so rough?
Compared to being beaten, being stinky to the point of kicking legs wasn't much better!

Zhong Yingxue held that little Pocket Rabbit cub, reluctant to let go, unwilling to part with it!
"Xiao Nan! Can I keep her? Her mother is gone, and no other rabbit can take care of her."
"I've even thought of a name for her! Call her Little Glutinous Rice!"
Because she looked just like a glutinous rice ball!

The little Pocket Rabbit seemed to really like Zhong Yingxue's embrace, nuzzling against her...
Jiangnan smiled: "Why can't you keep her? We're going to take her out anyway!"
Then his tone shifted: "But before that, let's first get some revenge for the Pocket Rabbits!"
"Dog Biscuit's olfactory tracking ability hasn't worn off yet. I can still smell the Ghost Face Beast's location!"
"This time! It won't be able to escape!"

As he spoke, in front of all the Pocket Rabbits, his body shimmered and transformed, reverting to his human form!
The Pocket Rabbits watched with wide eyes and open mouths!
Σ(՞。ʘ̆⌂ʘ̆。՞) Ah this...

Jiangnan put his hands on his hips: "What are you looking at? You think I learned all these skills for nothing? Being able to do the 72 Transformations is perfectly normal!"
"Although I look human right now, my essence is still your Rabbit Boss, got it?"
"The human form is better for movement!"

The Pocket Rabbits nodded dazedly!
Although they couldn't understand what the Rabbit Boss was saying, he looked very impressive!
Jiangnan waved his hand grandly: "Now your Rabbit Boss is going to get revenge for you. Just wait obediently for our triumphant return!"
With that, he took Zhong Yingxue and the others, teleporting away as they tracked the Ghost Face Beast!

Based on the scent, the Ghost Face Beast was currently on a massive floating island!
As for Little Glutinous Rice, Zhong Yingxue had directly stuffed her into her pocket and brought her along.

...

On the massive floating island, the Ghost Face Beast was also scouring everywhere for traces of humans!
If it could run into the human Bamboo King, that would be perfect. It would then directly notify the Boss to kill them!
But after searching for an entire morning, it hadn't seen a single person.

Just as it was teleporting, the Ghost Face Beast suddenly froze, spotting a special mark carved into a tree trunk!
|⚔☞|
It let out a sinister laugh!
A marker left by humans? What a coincidence!
So it followed the markers all the way...

...

At the ruins in the center of the floating island, after the tireless efforts of five to six hundred poachers!
The area had been completely dug open, and over ninety crystal tablets had been found!
Only three more were needed to complete the set, but the soil was too hard, and they didn't dare make too much noise, so progress was slow.
Otherwise, they would have found them all by now!

But now work had completely stopped, and the atmosphere was extremely tense!
Because Chen Daoer had followed the markers with his Forest Guards and found them, also discovering the ruins and the crystal tablets!
The Chen family, as an ancient clan passed down through the ages, held many unknown secrets!
The cunning old Chen Daoer naturally saw that the crystal tablets were extraordinary!
He never expected that while aiming for Jiangnan, he would stumble upon an unexpected gain!

Jin Hao was fiercely guarding the tablets, his face dark: "I've been extremely careful along the way, eliminating all traces of my passage!"
"How did you find us?"

Chen Daoer frowned: "Eliminate all traces? Don't be ridiculous. Didn't your people carve markers on the trees along the way, guiding us here?"

Jin Hao gritted his teeth: "Impossible! Damn you, Chen Daoer, you don't trust me? Did you plant a mole among my men?"
"Speak! Who carved those markers on the trees?"

The poachers looked at each other, all shaking their heads!
Chen Daoer sneered: "Don't think too highly of yourself. Plant a mole among poachers? I wouldn't stoop so low!"

Jin Hao raged: "Still not admitting it? Then who left those markers?"

Zhang San quietly raised his hand from the side.
(٥・᷄ὢ・᷅)ノ"Both of you, stop arguing! I left them!"
Such obvious markers, how had Boss Nan not seen them yet?
Instead, it was Chen Daoer who spotted them!

But no one noticed Zhang San or what he said!
Chen Daoer's gaze fell on the crystal tablets!
"Talking about this now is pointless. The crystal tablets... my Chen family wants them!"
"I can give you one billion! Dollars!"

Jin Hao grinned: "One billion? You think I'm a beggar?"
"If you want them, show some sincerity!"

Chen Daoer's expression didn't change: "Three billion! I'll settle the payment once we're out!"
"Think carefully before you answer. I could actually get them without spending a cent. You know what I mean."
"Money is good, no one dislikes having more, but you need to live long enough to spend it."
As he said this, Chen Daoer's gaze gradually turned dangerous.

Jin Hao squinted, then burst into laughter: "Fine! Lord Chen is generous, but until I see the money, it's better that the tablets stay in my hands!"
"Don't you agree, sir?"
Hmph! Three billion? He's really throwing money around. The higher you bid, the more I know this thing is valuable!
Trying to fool me? No way!
If he refused, a fierce battle would be inevitable, so he'd just agree verbally for now. After all, the tablets were in his hands.

Chen Daoer's eyes flickered: "Fine! But I see you're still missing three pieces to complete the set, right?"
"Why not let us help look for them?"
With that, Chen An and the other Forest Guards rushed to the ruins and started digging away!

Naturally, Chen Daoer didn't trust Jin Hao. As long as he held the remaining three fragments in his hands!
The tablets in Jin Hao's possession would be incomplete, unable to fetch a high price from other factions!
He would have no choice but to sell to the Chen family.

How could Jin Hao not see Chen Daoer's intentions? His face was full of anxiety as he loudly commanded: "Dig with all your might!"
"Whoever finds those three fragments, I'll reward them with one hundred million dollars!"

Now the two groups were competing, each afraid the other would find the fragments first!
Who cared about the soil being hard? They used spiritual techniques, smashing wildly, sending dirt and rocks flying!
Jin Hao and Chen Daoer had also gone red-eyed, personally jumping into the pit and unleashing their ultimate moves!
The explosions were deafening, what a lively scene!
At this point, who cared about attracting spirit beasts?

Meanwhile, the Ghost Face Beast, following the markers all the way, was utterly confused!
୧(٥•́ൠ•̀)
This direction doesn't seem right? Isn't it the direction of the Big Boss's home?

Soon enough, the Ghost Face Beast heard rumbling noises!
It quickly teleported over!
Seeing the scene before it, it was dumbfounded!
Six to seven hundred people were unleashing their ultimate moves in the pit, as if they wouldn't stop until they dug through the floating island!

Ghost Face Beast: !!!
You humans are way too arrogant!
You even dare to dig at the roof of my Big Boss's house?
This is literally digging on the Grand Duke's head! The Big Boss is a heavy sleeper, so it seems he hasn't woken up yet!
If the Big Boss finds out that these humans have dug up his home, he'll go berserk and take it out on us, saying we failed in our guard duty!
Then tonight it wouldn't be beating rabbits, but beating us!

How could the Ghost Face Beast endure that? It teleported straight into the fray, its fists shooting out like heavy cannons, wildly slaughtering!
Jin Hao and Chen Daoer were shocked. They had still attracted a spirit beast after all!
This wouldn't do!
Checking its level, it was just a Diamond Nine. With some effort, they could take it down!

Chen Daoer charged forward first, the surrounding dense forest growing wildly, branches and vines stabbing toward the Ghost Face Beast from every angle!
But the Ghost Face Beast simply teleported, escaping the attack, and appeared in front of Chen Daoer!
One punch smashed out, hitting him square in the head!
Although blocked by spiritual gauze, he was still sent flying!

But Jin Hao took this opportunity, unleashing two explosive flame pillars over seventy meters thick at the Ghost Face Beast!
The Ghost Face Beast didn't even dodge, charging straight into the pillars!
Jin Hao's expression was excited. This ugly thing must have a death wish!
Suicide? My incineration is no joke!

"Boom!"
With a thunderous explosion, countless dirt and rocks flew everywhere. But from within the raging flames came Chen Daoer's screams!
The moment the flame hit the Ghost Face Beast, it had swapped positions with Chen Daoer!
Chen Daoer was now charred black by Jin Hao's attack, his face full of fury!
Meanwhile, the Ghost Face Beast was massacring through the crowd!

Before the two could figure out what was happening, they saw people falling in pools of blood and their eyes turned red!
They charged again, and the battlefield became utter chaos!
But for the Ghost Face Beast, the more people joined the fight, the more advantageous it was!
It feared nothing more than being outnumbered!

Zhang San stood at the edge of the pit, watching the fierce battle below, clicking his tongue!
"The markers I left for Boss Nan... the Chen family followed them here, and even the spirit beast followed them..."
"Only Boss Nan and his group didn't see them? Are they blind or what?"
As he spoke, his gaze fell on the crystal tablets by the pit. Everyone was busy fighting, with no one watching them!
Zhang San ambled over to the tablets and called out weakly.
(≖Д≖。)☛[Tablets]
"Hey! Anyone want these? If no one wants them, I'll be taking them then!"
But no one responded!
"Well, I guess no one wants them!"

Zhang San stripped several pieces of clothing from the corpses, tied them together to make a big sack!
He packed all ninety-plus fragments of the tablets into it, hoisted the big bundle, and ran off into the depths of the dense forest!
ᕕ(•̀~•́)୨
He planned to find Jiangnan and his group himself!

But he had only run a few kilometers when he saw Jiangnan's group rushing toward the scene!
Jiangnan was excited: "Such a loud noise? Is the Ghost Face Beast fighting something?"
Liu Mang quickly said: "Scouting reveals it's the Chen family and the poachers! Both are there! Hiss... and there are ruins dug out of the ground? What's going on?"
Jiangnan's eyes lit up: "Opportunity! The snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman profits! Let's go! Let's see if we can wipe them all out!"

With that, the group swept past Zhang San!
Zhang San: ???
"Hey hey! Wait... I... you all... him... sigh... forget it!"
After holding back for a long time, thousands of words turned into a long sigh.
Zhang San's face darkened as he carried the big sack and chased after Jiangnan and his group!
