Slumdog Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 1061

Mound Forest Xavier looked down at the blood-covered person below him. His face was so smeared with blood that his features were indistinguishable. However, based on his voice, Xavier asked with some uncertainty, “Yael?”

“Son of a bitch, it’s really you!” The man below cursed as he got up. He wiped the blood off his face and said, “Holy crap, if it weren’t for me playing dead, I probably would have been done for right here.”

“Unbelievable!” Xavier exclaimed, as he stared at the gruesome wounds on Yael Gardner’s body. He shouted, “Someone come quickly! This is Yael Gardner! Hurry and clean and bandage his wounds!”

Clearly, Xavier and Yael know each other, and it seems like they have a pretty good relationship! Gerald didn’t make many moves, and Valery didn’t seem to have any intention of taking action either. At least for now, Gerald didn’t fully trust Xavier one hundred percent.

In Xavier’s Treasure Hunter team, the others quickly gathered around. Some of them started to clean Yael with water, and gradually, Yael’s appearance began to emerge.

He appeared to be a man in his forties, with a bald patch in the middle of his head, a typical baldy. Overall, he gave off a rather peculiar vibe. “Is this really your team? With your caution and prudence, I didn’t expect you to falter here.” From the side, Xavier asked, “And… this Steel Python, it shouldn’t have caused so many casualties among your ranks, right?”

“Damn this endless bad luck!” Yael cursed loudly. “Right, you guys must be heading there too, huh?” “What’s over there?” Xavier asked, frowning.

At this moment, Yael’s gaze fell upon Gerald and his companions. Raising an eyebrow, she said, “New faces?” Xavier said, “They are pals I met when I came over here. They are good people and trustworthy. Just say whatever you have in mind!”

It must be said that from this perspective, Xavier is quite righteous. Firstly, he didn’t expose the identities of Kristian and others as members of the Archaic Tribe, and secondly, he didn’t reveal the true strength of Gerald and his team. He simply stated that they were trustworthy.

Upon hearing this, Yael looked at Gerald again. While others were bandaging his wounds, he spoke, “During this time, we’ve been hunting in this area, hoping to find some Flame Decayer beast skeletons, or if we’re lucky, a Seven-Colored Cat cub!” Flame Decayer’s bones and carcasses of beasts can fetch quite a good price.

As for the Seven-Colored Cat cub, it’s worth its weight in gold. For Treasure Hunters, including the supreme Flame Decayer Treasure Hunter, their goal is to seek wealth. Golorbs are the hard currency, and having enough golorbs can be exchanged for ample resources.

“You’re pushing yourself too hard,” Xavier said with a furrowed brow.

“There’s nothing I can do, man. I’m not like you, who ran away from the Callum family. I have a whole bunch of people to support,” Yael grumbled. “We went through hell and high water to take down a Steel Python, but damn it, we ran into a spot in Misty Mound Forest that suddenly started collapsing.” “Collapsed?” Gerald and the others frowned.

Yael said, “Yes, it collapsed, and then in the collapsed area, some buildings emerged. At that time, I guessed that this might be a base or a biological research institute of Promise Group. After all, there are a large number of mutants and mutated beasts in the Misty Mound

Forest. We were so excited because we knew that whoever discovered such a place and entered it first would undoubtedly gain access to a wealth of information, treasures, and even research materials. These things could be sold to the Eight Forces for a fortune!”

“But just as we were about to go in, there was a commotion around us. Many beasts and mutants from the swamp were frantically rushing towards that place,” Yael said helplessly. “I was almost scared to death. I tried to escape with our people, planning to gather more and come back later. But we were targeted by the mutants. You know how they are they’re like mad dogs when they see humans, as if we’re meat to them. Among them… there was even a mutant with the eternal level of Flame Decay.” “The eternal level of Flame Decay…”

Gerald gasped in astonishment. Beside him, Triston frowned and said, “Aren’t these mutated people the result of Promise Group’s research that caused the mutation? They can create the eternal level of Flame Decay…”
