Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"I see. Please help me when I collect all the rest of the fragments, Anne," Zachary said.

"If the system allows me to help you, there would be no problem," Anne replied. With their current relationship, she was willing to carry Zachary's worries and burdens as her own.

"I think the system may have some restrictions, but there should be room for negotiation," Zachary commented. He was hopeful as he already had a good understanding of the behavior mode of the system.

"By the way, did Tania ask you to help her find the legendary beast, the Fighting Crane?" Anne asked, changing the topic of the conversation.

"Yes. But how did you know? Did she tell you?" Zachary asked promptly.

"No. But I know she has talked to you, so I'm guessing she wants to find it," Anne replied.

"Do you know why she wants to?" Zachary could not hold his curiosity.

"It is said that the Fighting Crane can heal all diseases and bring back the dead to life. It can also pass this ability to chosen descendants. Maybe Tania wants to obtain it," Anne presumed.

"Isn't she already very good at medical skills? Why does she need such ability?" Zachary asked in confusion.

"No matter how powerful medical skill is, it is unable to bring back life. If she possessed the ability of the Fighting Crane, she would definitely become someone the whole world worships," Anne explained, blinking with her eyebrows furrowed.

"It seems that Tania has the ambition to show mercy to every living creature in the world. I think she wants to become an immortal after making a great achievement in this respect," Zachary joked.

"Become an immortal? What does that mean?" Anne asked.

"Simply put, to be an immortal means becoming a god to some extent, never becoming old nor dying," Zachary answered.

"Isn't it said that a warrior can live forever if they cultivate to the highest level?" Anne asked as she recalled.

"Has anyone reached the highest level?" Zachary asked casually.

"As far as I know, not yet. Even the Five Gods who had already reached a high level didn't make it. They still couldn't escape death. However, they seem to have lived at least three hundred years."

"Three hundred years? They're considered old freaks already," Zachary smiled as he shook his head.

"Ha-ha. Well, now that you're here, let's cultivate

ir treasure beasts.

"Hey, are you really that capable? You shouldn't act recklessly!" Vivian worried that Zachary couldn't handle the situation.

Zachary, on the other hand, stayed calm.

"Anyone who wants to come first?" Linda asked.

The warriors scrambled, intending to present their treasure beasts. It seemed that they wanted the opportunity to show off in front of the two beauties. They appeared to try to show Zachary of the Devil Kingdom how powerful the Imperial Level warriors of the Crane College were.

"Well...you!" Linda looked at them one by one before pointing at one fat warrior among the crowd.

The warrior raised his head as if he had won a big prize. He took his treasure beast to Zachary excitedly. "My treasure beast has a bad temper. If you can really communicate with it, please tell me why this is so," he said arrogantly.

After hearing this, Zachary asked Mimi to turn on the mutual communication system at once.

He heard the treasure beast of the fat warrior muttering, "How dare you say I have a bad temper! You feed me cold leftovers every day and often ride me for no reason. You even vent your anger on me when you're drunk. I was blind to admit you as my master in the very beginning!"

After hearing its complaint, Zachary's narrowed his eyes. Through the mutual communication system, he answered the treasure beast, "I see. Your master seems to abuse you terribly!"

The treasure beast was awestruck as it heard the human talking to it. It looked up at Zachary and said, "What? You can hear my words!"
