Starting from the pirates, pushing the world.

Chapter 2400: The Mission of the Krick Adventurer's Crew!
The world of Teigu, the continent of Shureid.

Located in the Kurpudios swamp area west of East Dolma.

A group of people were hiding behind trees and rocks, cautiously observing their surroundings.

But the main focus was on the dark, purple-hued cave in the distance.

Are you sure you saw it inside?

Krieg, clad in golden armor and wearing a crimson coat, looked down grimly at his two short subordinates.

Although they are actually about 1.7 meters tall.

"Yes, yes, yes, we saw it with our own eyes, it must be the Poisonous Monster Bird!"

"It looks injured; there's a hole in one of its wings!"

"Oh?"

Creek's eyes lit up. If that were true, then the other party wouldn't be able to fly.

"Boss, this is a great opportunity!"

"We've run into a poisonous bird that just finished a fight; this mission looks like it'll be much easier this time!"

At this moment, a tall, thin, green-haired young man with an unusually slender waist stood to the side, wearing cat-paw gloves, with a cold smile on his face.

"Alright, then go lure it out. After all, you're fast enough, Sam."

Creek stared at him with dead fish eyes and said.

"what?"

"No, no need. Didn't we bring plenty of bait, boss?"

Sam immediately looked flustered.

This prompted another person to taunt, "Tsk, you two cat-men brothers, you still love to put on a show as always."

"What, you're not convinced, Zank the beheader?"

Buchi, with his round but tall and strong build, raised his right hand and shoved his sharp metal cat claw at the opponent without any hesitation.

They were actually the cat-man brothers under Kro's command in the future of the original timeline.

Sam the Siamese cat and Bouchet the tabby cat.

The person Buzhi confronted was a former full-time executioner in the largest prison in the Qin Empire.

Zank, whose mental state deteriorated due to the long-term repetitive execution work, was promptly dismissed by the warden.

He was also wearing a crimson overcoat, signifying his successful entry into the top 100 in the previous competition.

Unfortunately, he was defeated by Dr. Tenchi, who possessed the power of the Ninja World's Sea Monk.

Unexpectedly, Zank joined Krieg's adventure team in recent years.

The cat-men brothers are the same.

"Alright, there's no need to argue about this. Let's get the task done first."

Ouka, who was also a cadre, smiled and offered his advice.

His one-eyed face and sinister demeanor made him seem anything but friendly.

This person is no ordinary individual.

He was the captain of the Qin Empire's capital city guard back then, and could also be considered Seryu's master.

It can be said that Serena's fanatical belief in justice was influenced by Euchar.

However, he is different from Seryu, who firmly believes in and upholds absolute justice.

Oka only talked the talk; in reality, he secretly accepted bribes and abused his power.

Eventually, the truth came out, and the current 60th Qin Emperor ordered his dismissal and arrest.

However, he noticed something amiss and escaped the capital beforehand, remaining at large.

This made Seryu feel betrayed by the person she trusted most.

He considers EuroCava as a target he must kill with his own hands in this lifetime.

That's why he doesn't plan to participate in the Top 100 competition, so as not to attract the attention of the Qin Empire and Seryu.

But their strength should not be underestimated.

Back then, he was known as the "Oni Oka" in the capital.

Now, 'Oni-jin' is even used as an adventurer's code name.

After joining the Krieg Adventurers, he was immediately promoted to one of the four executives.

recently.

They have been staying here to receive various quests issued by the World Ecological Association to the Adventurers' Guild.

For example, exploration, gathering, hunting, and guarding.
Although these are considered low- to mid-level quests by hunters, adventurers find them quite enjoyable.

The continent of Shured is rich in resources and teeming with monsters. With its adventure attributes almost maxed out, the rewards are also visibly substantial.

Many people call it an adventurer's second paradise.

The first paradise is, of course, the starfish of today.

After the five stars merged into the sea, the starfish grew several times larger, revealing many islands that no one had ever set foot on, as well as the two continents of fire and ice.

Therefore, a large number of adventurers are now taking on quests and exploring everywhere.

At the same time, local intelligence was sent back to headquarters via Den Den Mushi (snail phone) and live broadcast ball devices.

Discovering rare and precious materials or hunting magical monsters along the way would be an unexpected surprise.

Of course, sacrifices are inevitable; adventurers die every day for various reasons.

Nevertheless, this did not deter the adventurous spirit of others.

Crick prefers to explore other worlds because the competition is relatively less intense.

He was nobody in Haixing.

But in franchise worlds like Imperial Arms, Demon Slayer, Nuclear Weapons, and the State Religion.

His large coat made him impossible to ignore, no matter where he was.

His strength made him virtually untouchable among the common people.

This is not.

It hasn't been many years since the cat-man brothers came to the Teigu world.

Krick had already assembled an adventure team of over a hundred people, and these were carefully selected members.

Zank and Oka came to join them after hearing about his reputation.

Or rather, this group of people are completely birds of a feather, going along with each other in their corrupt ways.

This time, at the Adventurers' Guild branch in East Dorma, they were tasked with hunting the Male Poisonous Bird.

They say there are too many of them.

The reward is 250,000 Berries after tax, and the biological remains will be handed over to the association for disposal.

If you have the specific materials you want, such as bones, horns, or skin.

You can purchase it from the World Ecological Association.

They might even offer services to help forge weapons and equipment, though the quality might not be as good as that of the famous sword town, which is known for its starfish-like craftsmanship.

However, some adventurers choose not to accept quests, but instead hunt targets on their own and save the monster materials.

They can be resold through the local black market to powerful and wealthy individuals who need them, and the price can increase several times over.

However, this falls under the category of poaching and smuggling, which is a relatively serious crime.

Although Creek was cruel and ruthless, he had no intention of doing such a thing.

In his view, the risks and rewards were disproportionate.

Unless I manage to get my hands on an ancient dragon someday, I'll probably consider keeping it for myself.
"Alright, enough talk, let's get to work!" Creek waved his hand to quell the crowd.

Soon, the hundred or so members of the Creek Adventurer Group were distributed throughout the cave.

Ensure that someone intercepts the poisonous bird from any direction.

This is a bird-dragon species that prefers to inhabit dark, damp swampy areas.

Its entire body is covered in a thick, grayish-blue rubbery skin, which provides complete immunity to lightning damage.

It has bullet-shaped organs on its head that can pulverize the gray crystal minerals inside, instantly generating a blinding light.

But its greatest weapon is the highly toxic liquid in the venom glands in its neck.

Therefore, Crick purchased various antidotes from the World Ecological Association and medical schools.

"You two, release the thief dragon!"

"Yes!"

Without any hesitation, the two subordinates took out Poké Balls from their waists and released the little Jagras that they had recently captured.

"Order them to send it over!"

Creek pointed to two black garbage bags on the ground.

Inside were various mushrooms and rotten flesh prepared in advance, all of which were foods that the poisonous bird liked to eat.

In the blink of an eye.

Two small, yellow and blue thief dragons, with bags in their mouths, ran to the cave entrance under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

But upon seeing the purplish-red mist, they dared not take another step forward.

They could only put the bag on the ground and turn around to leave.

Unexpectedly, a ball of poison shot out from the darkness, accurately striking one of the small thief dragons.

[Bang! Bang! Bang!]

"Out"

Hearing the heavy, hurried footsteps, a cruel smile appeared on Crick's face.

He gripped the heavy battle gun tightly in his right hand, and held a red and white Poké Ball in his left palm.
