Monster Hunter, start with a wife!

Gazing at the red flame that didn't seem too far away, Cheng Zhuo hesitated for a moment before deciding to go over and take a look.

This distress signal might lead him to encounter some challenging alien beasts.

Cheng Zhuo thought to himself.

About twenty minutes later.

He stood on a horizontal branch of a giant tree, gazing into the distance at a dry river valley forty or fifty meters deep.

Strangely, his side was surrounded by a damp rainforest.

There are many streams along the way.

On the other side of the valley, there was a sandy and gravelly land like the Gobi Desert, with jagged rocks and withered grass growing everywhere, seemingly a lifeless world.

The noise at the bottom of the valley was very loud.

From his angle, he could see dozens of blind corpses huddled together.

It was tearing something apart incessantly.

Judging from the trajectory of the signal flare, the person who launched it was most likely in the nearby area.

Cheng Zhu stomped his foot, breaking off a huge branch. He landed with the momentum, grabbed a horizontal branch, and threw it directly at the group of blind corpses.

The sudden attack scattered the horde of corpses.

"The Silver Knight?"

Upon seeing what was surrounded in the center, Cheng Zhuo was taken aback.

That was actually Huangfu Bai's custom-made Silver Knight, kneeling in the center of the horde of corpses, its body covered in mottled scratches, exuding a deathly aura.

Without hesitation, Cheng Zhuo picked up his spear and charged forward.

In his "Dragon Form" state, the blind corpses were like paper in front of him, almost one shot at a time, and soon the valley was littered with corpses.

After the last blind corpse fell.

Cheng Zhuo arrived in front of the gravity body.

With a "click".

He reached out and latched the cockpit latch of the Silver Knight, opening the hatch.

The person sitting inside the cabin was indeed Huangfu Bai.

He leaned back, his eyes glazed over, and there was a bruise on his forehead from which blood was seeping.

Cheng Zhuo deactivated his 'Dragon Form' and shook his shoulder, trying to bring him back to his senses:

"Hey, Huangfu Bai, can you hear me?"

Huangfu Bai's eyelids trembled.

When his gaze focused on Cheng Zhuo's face, his pupils contracted sharply, revealing a hint of embarrassment and annoyance. He said weakly:

"You...how come...you're on a one-star level..."

Before he could finish speaking, his head lolled to the side and he fainted.

Cheng Zhuo was about to shake him again.

But then Huangfu Bai suddenly raised his head, his peach blossom eyes widening in surprise as he looked at Cheng Zhuo:

"Wow—Cheng Zhuo! It really is you!"

As he spoke, he nimbly climbed out of the cockpit, grabbed Cheng Zhuo's arm, and shouted:

"Wow, I'm so touched! You saved my life again!"

He looked extremely excited, his mouth rattling off like a machine gun:

"Was that armor you just used a meditation technique? Wow, that's so cool!"

"I told you long ago, you were obviously extraordinary, but they just wouldn't believe me..."

"By the way, why are you in the One-Star Ruins Realm? Didn't they say you were with the newbie team?"

"Why are you, a summoner, using a gun? Where are your pets?"

"..."

Looking at Huangfu Bai, who was speaking fluently and acting rather strangely, Cheng Zhuo's eye twitched involuntarily...

Could it be that a demon has possessed it?

He looked slightly suspicious: "You are... Huangfu Bai?"

"yes."

Huangfu Bai grabbed Cheng Zhuo's arm and jumped in front of him:

"You can also call me Xiaobai, or Xiaobaibai~"

"???"

The hairs on the back of Cheng Zhuo's neck stood up with a "whoosh," and goosebumps instantly rose on his arms!

He hurriedly tried to pull his arm back, but Huangfu Bai held it tightly. The other man blinked his eyes, looking expectant, as if waiting for him to call him "Little Bai Bai".

Cheng Zhuo was startled and felt a very strange sensation.

Did he damage his brain?

He was about to pull his arm away when Huangfu Bai's words made him stop abruptly:

"Sigh, I owe you another life. I don't know how to repay you. How about I transfer you 1 billion to use for now?"

"what?"

Cheng Zhuo paused slightly, his hand hovering in mid-air. He chuckled dryly, "Hahaha, how could I possibly accept that..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his left hand as well.

Find the payment QR code.

"snort!"

At this moment, Huangfu Bai, who was standing in front of him, suddenly let out a cold snort.

He abruptly shook off Cheng Zhuo's arm, his face filled with urgency and panic. He frantically shook his hand and then wiped it back and forth on his combat uniform.

Looking at his disgusted expression,

It's like having feces on your hands.

"???"

Cheng Zhuo was completely dumbfounded.

No... does this person have some serious illness?

"Why are you in the One Star Ruins?!"

After wiping for a while with disgust, Huangfu Bai suddenly glared at Cheng Zhuo.

Seemingly harboring some inexplicable resentment, he spoke in a restrained yet angry tone:

"Do you think that just because you got the title of strongest newcomer and killed some mediocre first-tier beasts, you can hunt in the One-Star Ruins? Foolish! Do you even know that second-tier beasts can appear in the One-Star Ruins?! Do you want to die?"

"..."

For the sake of gravity...

Cheng Zhuo suppressed his frustration and anger, his voice deepening:

"Captain Huangfu Bai, we're not official teammates, you're meddling too much."

Huangfu Bai paused slightly, then realized what was happening. He took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the anger in his eyes, and resumed his previous cold and aloof demeanor, slowly saying:

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure. Thank you for your help, but you went to a bit too much trouble. I can handle this myself."

"nerve……"

Cheng Zhuo rolled his eyes, inwardly grumbling:

Are all super-rich people this eccentric?

He didn't want to deal with this lunatic anymore and turned to leave.

Huangfu Bai suddenly called out to him:

Where are you going?

"I'm going to find a second-tier alien beast to die," Cheng Zhuo said irritably.

Huangfu Bai paused, then his voice suddenly rose a few decibels, carrying an air of command that brooked no refusal:

"Come with me to find something."

Cheng Zhu ignored him and walked forward without looking back.

"I'll give you a billion." Huangfu Bai's voice rose a few decibels.

Cheng Zhuo paused, as if rooted to the ground.

That damn leg...

Suddenly, a strange sense of shame welled up inside him, and he turned around angrily, staring at Huangfu Bai:

"Does having money make you superior? Do you think you can buy anything with money?"

"You don't want it?" Huangfu Bai asked suspiciously.

"Yes! Why not take it if it's free?"

Cheng Zhuo showed his payment QR code without hesitation, and said without batting an eye:

"Ten billion isn't enough. Something that can tempt a tycoon like you must be very dangerous. In return, you'll help me upgrade the Silver Knight to its complete form."

"No problem." Huangfu Bai's lips curled slightly as he straightened the wrinkles in his collar.

"Money can buy everything, can't it?"

"cut……"

Cheng Zhu curled his lip and scoffed, "If you're so capable, why don't you buy me a second awakening?"

"no problem."

"???"

Cheng Zhuo was taken aback, staring at Huangfu Bai in shock, his expression becoming more serious:

"Captain Huangfu Bai, are you serious?"

"certainly."

Huangfu Bai pulled out a mirror from somewhere, fixed his hair, and said casually:

"But we'll have to talk about it after we get out. I can't, but my bodyguard can."

Cheng Zhuo was somewhat incredulous.

He started to have doubts...

But this guy's arrogant temperament made Cheng Zhuo feel that what he said might be true.

"Where is what you're looking for?"
