Chapter 276: God Slaying Pearl!

　　Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

　　Greed could be seen in the eyes of everyone in the shuttle as soon as they heard Hammer Zhao’s words. Even their fear for the Zhu clan was repressed.

　　Although the Zhu clan was powerful, their main headquarters was not on this planet!

　　To these desperate rogues, they would dare to create trouble even on the planet which the Zhu clan’s headquarters was located as long as the profits were sufficient!

　　“But, although it’s a good thing that the thing is on this planet, it’s not something that should be tampered with easily. With just the strength of the few of us here, the possibility of catching it should not be too likely, right?”

　　A well-endowed female thrust out her chest as she commented lightly. All the men in the shuttle turned to her and swallowed silently.

　　“There’s no need to worry about that. Since I have organized this expedition, I naturally have full confidence!”

　　Hammer Zhao pulled his gaze away from her chest and snorted haughtily.

　　With a flick of his fingers, he pulled out a small round Yin Yang pearl as large as a pigeon’s egg.

　　“Shua!”

　　The moment they saw the pearl, everyone shot backwards in a hurry.

　　“Are you mad?! You actually brought this thing along! Aren’t you afraid of detonating it accidentally?!”

　　“Bastard! If you want to die, don’t try to pull us along with you!”

　　Everyone’s faces was pale with fright. The appearance of the small pearl which was only as big as a pigeon’s egg had induced a dramatic reaction from the entire party!

　　“Relax, I know the dangers of this thing better than any of you. Unless the force exerted on it exceeds 10 units, there wouldn’t be any problems at all.” Hammer Zhao twirled the little pearl absentmindedly between his fingers. “Besides, even if there’s an accident, I can still throw it out of the shuttle within three seconds.”

　　As expected, everyone seemed to relax a little after hearing his words. At the same time, they were secretly amazed at this Hammer Zhao’s abilities. To be able to obtain such a dangerous thing was no easy feat!

　　The power contained in this tiny pearl was enough to completely flatten a 10 li area in an instant!

　　It was much more powerful than any explosives. This God Slaying Pearl was also a standard military weapon issued exclusively to the Sacred Empire’s troops. Outsiders basically had no way of obtaining something like it!

　　The bearded middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and asked with a gruff voice, “Hammer Zhao, in consideration of the several decades of friendship between out families, why don’t you reveal your source to us as well?”

　　The appearance of the God Slaying Pearl meant that this matter was not as simple as it seemed anymore. Hammer Zhao had access to too great a power!

　　As the bearded man said, their two families had several decades of friendship, and although they could not claim to have complete knowledge of each other’s strengths and trump cards, they were clear at least that forbidden items like these were not something that Hammer Zhao should be able to obtain by himself.

　　“To be honest, I’m just a footman in this matter as well. The Lord who tasked me with this expedition is extremely interested in the item on this planet. However, the Lord’s status is too illustrious, and it’s not convenient for him to come over himself. Thus, I’ve become his representative here,” Hammer Zhao directly revealed. “I won’t reveal the name of this Lord. You guys know as well that, sometimes, knowing more will result in a quicker death.”

　　Finally, the expressions on everyone’s faces eased. If Hammer Zhao really revealed the name of the person behind the scenes, they would definitely band together to slay this Hammer Zhao before running away.

　　“In that case, what’s in it for us?”

　　A strange light gleamed in the bearded man’s eyes. It was unclear what his thoughts were.

　　“When the matter is over, everyone will get five million credit points, as well as an opportunity to cultivate in Qianyuan Sect’s outer sect for a month!”

　　Even Hammer Zhao could not help but to grow excited at this point.

　　“What?!”

　　“We can enter the Qianyuan outer sect for a month? Are you speaking truthfully?!”

　　Nobody could sit still at this moment.

　　When they heard the part about the five million credit points, they were still rather impassive. The reward was not worth the risk. Five million credit points was not worth them risking their lives at all. But when they heard that they could enter the Qianyuan Sect, everyone lost their calm instantly.

　　Even though it was only the outer sect, and they could only stay there for one month, it was enough to drive everyone mad with desire!

　　“Naturally! With the Lord’s status, why would he bother to lie to us?” Hammer Zhao declared confidently. However, he was sneering secretly in his heart, ‘What a bunch of idiots… The Lord did indeed promise this, but there’s only one slot to enter the sect! Later on, when all of you are dead, this slot will naturally go to me!’

　　Once they got the confirmation, everyone instantly became more motivated. Although there was a small handful of people who felt that there was something wrong with the situation, they did not give voice to their doubts. They only resolved to be a bit more careful themselves.

　　Even though all of them had known each other for a long time, they knew every single person was capable of stabbing the others in the back if the profit was large enough!

　　A moment later, the flying shuttle shot through the planet’s atmosphere and landed steadily in the middle of a large mountain.

　　The group of rogues stepped out of the flying shuttle decisively.

　　The moment they landed, they could feel a crushing gravitational force pulling them downwards!

　　However, all of them were Xiantian Lords, and they could still withstand this level of gravity. After about ten minutes, they had already adjusted to the gravity here!

　　The group wasted no time and quickly concealed the flying shuttle before venturing into the jungle at a rapid pace.

　　Three days later, the group arrived before a long mountain valley. This mountain valley was exceedingly vast, and a mighty river 100 meters wide could be seen flowing out of the mountainside, running towards a larger river far away.

　　Numerous strange little creatures could be seen sitting beside the river, drinking the water. All kinds of wild flowers of resplendent colors danced in the wind, causing one to feel like they were looking at a dream!

　　Time passed, and the group was sitting around a large fire. A huge fish over three meters long was being grilled above the fire on a stick, sending out waves of fragrant aroma.

　　“Hammer Zhao, are you sure that your information is accurate? We’ve been searching for so long but there’s no trace of anything at all!” a cynical youth complained unhappily as he flipped the fish over. He gave others the impression of an impatient and brainless kid.

　　However, those who knew him would know how black-hearted and scheming he really was!

　　“No need to be impatient. That thing has a limited range of movement. Only, that range is a little larger; that’s all. Right now, the only place left to look is the mountain range before us.”

　　Hammer Zhao leaned leisurely against the soft grass and chewed on a blade of grass in his mouth as he pointed nonchalantly.

　　Everyone turned in tandem to look at the mountain range that Hammer Zhao was pointing at. In an instant, they felt their scalps aching with irritation. That bloody mountain range was the largest on the entire planet!

　　There were countless savage beasts there and if one was not careful and accidentally provoked a formidable Demonic Beast, they could be wiped out entirely!

　　One day later, the group arrived at the peak of an extinct volcano. This volcano had been quiet for an unknown number of years, and lush trees grew on its sides. Each tree’s trunk was incomparably tough!

　　Savage roars rang out from the forest continuously, and a huge eagle about twenty meters wide would swoop down from time to time before leaving with a seven, eight meter long python in its talons.

　　At this time, Hammer Zhao’s party was trekking through the dense jungle cautiously. They appeared exceptionally wretched, and they were missing about a third of their numbers!

　　“It’s all that Shen Jian Ning’s fault! Why did he have to go and kill that caterpillar for no good reason!?”

　　Someone cursed with rage. Numerous long and nasty wounds could be seen on his body, nearly tearing through his body!

　　“Enough, the fellow is dead already, so what’s the point of griping about it now?”

　　Another person snapped with annoyance as he examined Yi Bai Chuan’s wounds.
