"So it was just a joke on me."

Luckily, Old Crane's attention was all on the terrain of the Tropical Rainforest, and Tang Rao's few irrelevant remarks dispelled his idea of going to Blue Star.

"Brother Jiang, we've been around here and still haven't found it, could it have been stolen?"

In front of Tang Rao and his group was a gang led by a burly man, followed by dozens of people.

They happened to be walking down from above, while Tang Rao and his group were heading upward.

"Impossible, that little thing can't run so fast, it must still be around here."

Just as the words were spoken, Tang Rao had already walked past the dozens of people.

"Stop!"

The leader didn't speak, but someone next to him spoke up first and stopped Tang Rao and the other two.

"You guys are here for the trial too, what a coincidence."

Tang Rao's ears were sharp, he had heard everything just now.

"What trial, I don't care about your trial, this is our territory, hand over everything you just found!"

The man was obviously a cunning type, not to mention they didn't even know what was lost.

Whether it was their stuff or not, they wanted to take it first.

"No, we just got here, we have nothing."

When reasoning with dozens of people, Tang Rao always managed to win them over with logic.

Yet this person just wanted to have a bit of fun; every time he spoke, lowly and seemingly weak, he mixed in a bit of uncertainty.

"Really nothing?"

Clearly, they were questioning the three of them.

"Very true, truer than a pearl."

Tang Rao turned every one of his bags inside out to show them; truly, there was nothing.

Because everything was in the Space Ring, you fool.

"Who knows what's in your Space Ring, hand it over, we want to see."

Little guy, you're stepping on grandpa's landmines. Grandpa's Space Ring contains so many secrets, all sorts of delicious food, weapons, even corpses, and you just want to take it as soon as you arrive.

Opening any of them would be enough to scare you to death.

"We're so poor, where would we get a Space Ring?"

When it got to this point, Tang Rao clearly didn't want to give it up.

"Boss, this kid looks like a big fat sheep, should we slaughter them to have a look?"

He grinned, revealing two rows of yellow buck teeth.

"Slaughter, even if we don't slaughter, you still have to do it, why are you standing there?"

They were locals from the Ice and Snow World, and they always focused on bullying the little fat sheep from other places. They had done these things before, and now they were just doing it again; what's there to be afraid of?

"My boss has already said, if you want to leave here alive today, you'd better hand over everything, or by this time next year, all your bodies will turn to ashes."

It was described so aptly; how did you know grandpa was going to kill you soon, turning you to ashes by this time next year?

"Boss, do you really want to kill me? Maybe reconsider; I have no stuff, but letting you go, I can still manage that."

Still talking nonsense.

Seeing that Tang Rao wouldn't budge, the opponent got angry and brandished his weapon to strike at Tang Rao.

"Haven't tried out the weapon Jinxiu made for me in a long time, not sure how it handles."

Tang Rao muttered to himself, and a submachine gun appeared in his hand.

Tang Rao liked the style too, and this gun had been modified several times to become this unique piece.

"Hahaha, taking such useless stuff out to make a fool of yourself, aren't you afraid of people laughing? Boys, attack!"

As soon as the lackey spoke, everyone rushed toward Tang Rao.

They knew if they performed well, they could become someone like the lackey who was cherished by the boss.

Bang bang bang bang.

Bang bang bang bang!

Old Crane and Ba Wangba had prepared their moves, ready to strike, but Tang Rao only took a couple steps and directly aimed his weapon at the enemy, pulling the trigger furiously. In less than two minutes, everyone lay on the ground, dead as can be.

"Boss, you said earlier that you were looking for some little thing? Care to tell me?"

Tang Rao spared the life of the boss, who was left like a fish on a chopping block, ready to be sacrificed. Having no choice but to yield, the boss spoke up.

"It's a treasure-seeking Divine Artifact, the Tropical Hedgehog."

What was a Tropical Hedgehog? Tang Rao had never heard of such a thing.

"What treasure-seeking Divine Artifact, explain it clearly, will you?"

"It's a little creature that can find all the treasures in the Tropical Rainforest, but it's too cunning, and none of us could catch it."

They chased the Little Hedgehog for three days and nights, but still couldn't catch it, and as for Tang Rao, because they offended him, the whole gang ended up dead at his hands.

This man, like a Shura, held the boss's life tightly in his hands, refusing to let go.

"Where is the Little Hedgehog, and how can I find it? If you help me find the Little Hedgehog, I might spare your life."

Tang Rao offered a very generous condition—a hedgehog in exchange for a life.

Exchanging a hedgehog for someone's life wasn't possible, but now that it was the boss's life and the hedgehog's whereabouts were unknown, this deal was sure to be a win-win.

"The Little Hedgehog is nearby; catching it is impossible, but it's greedy for food. It stole our rations; if you use good food, you might lure it out. I swear every word I said was true."

He was too scared of dying, so he told Tang Rao everything, hoping that Tang Rao would spare his life.

"I'm sorry, but you have no more use."

After speaking about the Little Hedgehog, the boss breathed his last. During this time, Tang Rao ensured that this once-flourishing leader didn't suffer any hardships.

"Boss, you're too cruel."

Old Crane murmured sins while looking around for the Little Hedgehog.

Even someone as seasoned as him couldn't find where the little creature was.

"Little hedgehog, are you hungry? If you are, Brother Tang Rao can cook for you."

Tang Rao didn't have much good food; he merely took out some snacks and some leftover barbecue. With a little heating, the whole area smelled of meat.

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp."

A small ruckus with echoing chirps, Tang Rao thought, there's definitely something happening.

"Wow, this meat smells so good, I want to eat it all."

He acted out the scene himself, and soon the Little Hedgehog was at Tang Rao's feet.

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp."

The Little Hedgehog jumped onto Tang Rao, wanting to compete for the food.

"Want to eat? But these are mine; if I give them to you, I'll have none left."

Tang Rao took a big bite of meat, chomping noisily.

The Little Hedgehog was drooling; it seemed to forget how terrifying humans could be.

"If you want to eat, that's still possible. Don't you want to hear my trade terms, little guy?"
