AMSSO-Chapter 30: Storage Bags Stolen

“My storage bag?!”

A shrill voice suddenly rang out, breaking the frozen atmosphere.

“My storage bag is also gone!”

“My storage bag!!”

Several cries of alarm rose one after another.

The relief of narrowly escaping death instantly vanished. Zhao Hanxue touched her now-empty waist and almost collapsed!

There were many treasures inside her storage bag, the accumulation of her savings over many years!

Previously, in order to catch Crystal Fish, they had been chased by a Floating Crystal Demon Crocodile into the outer perimeter of the Myriad Beast Forest.

When they thought they were doomed, they encountered another group of young cultivators.

These cultivators were about the same age as them, with the leader, Tang Chifeng, being much older than Xu Chengjun and at the Golden Core Stage.

Although Golden Core Stage was still not much in the Myriad Beast Forest. 

Since they’d entered the outer perimeter and not the inner region, there were not too many dangerous spirit beasts, so Golden Core Stage was enough to deal with them.

This group of people came from Golden Cauldron Sect, one of the top ten sects.

Golden Cauldron Sect had a fairly good relationship with Changtian Sect, so when Zhao Hanxue and Xu Chengjun saw cultivators from Golden Cauldron Sect here, they instantly breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

They’re saved!

They’d thought they were going to die in the Myriad Beast Forest!

Tang Chifeng had brought several junior brothers and sisters inside to gain experience, and unexpectedly encountered this group from Changtian Sect.

Although neither side’s strength was particularly strong, after joining together, they instantly felt their strength greatly increased, and their sense of security multiplied.

What made them excited was that they’d found quite a few good materials inside.

Then, they saw an Iron-Eating Beast cub nearby.

A cub only a few months old!

When they first saw the cub, everyone was shocked!

The cub appearing here meant that the mother beast should also be nearby.

An adult Iron-Eating Beast was generally at fourth grade. Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator came, they might not necessarily be able to win.

Among them, the strongest was only at Golden Core. How could they dare face the mother beast?

Wouldn’t that be seeking death?

However, this cub whimpered and, when climbing a tree, fell halfway down, nearly falling to death, yet the mother beast did not appear!

Tang Chifeng looked around, but found no trace of the mother beast.

So, this cub should’ve sneaked out while the mother beast was busy!

After all, it was a bear cub. Being reckless was quite normal.

Immediately, this group of people became excited.

If they could bring this cub out, they would make a fortune!

After all, this is an Iron-Eating Beast cub!

Since it’s only a few months old, if brought back and carefully tamed, it could also form a contract with a cultivator and later become a powerful aid.

In the end, the group decided to seek wealth in danger.

On this trip, they’d brought flying magic tools and some life-saving talismans.

Although Xu Chengjun no longer had any attack talismans, he still had a flying magic tool, and with Tang Chifeng and the others present, they decided to risk it!

This was a rare opportunity. Otherwise, when would they ever get close to a spirit beast cub?

Normally, the mother beast would keep the cub tightly guarded, never letting it out of sight.

If one wanted to seize a cub, who knew how many people would have to die?

But this is a treasure delivered to their doorstep!

So, they grabbed the cub in one move and immediately fled frantically!

The cub was stunned at first when suddenly caught, and only after a long moment did it begin to cry.

What made them happy was that the cub’s cries did not summon the mother beast, the mother indeed wasn’t nearby.

However, while the mother beast did not come, they did attract two Rakshasa Wolves!

No one had expected there to be two Rakshasa Wolves here, and both were third grade!

Although Tang Chifeng alone was at Golden Core, within their team were the Jiang siblings, Jiang Yuanxin and Jiang Yuancheng, who carried quite a few magic treasures.

Moreover, the others also had some trump cards.

Thus, under Tang Chifeng’s command, the group managed, at the sacrifice of one person, to slay one Rakshasa Wolf.

With its companion dead, the other Rakshasa Wolf went berserk, unleashing even stronger power.

They did not dare linger, and immediately activated their flying magic tools, fleeing madly.

Although the Rakshasa Wolf pursued relentlessly, they never let go of the Iron-Eating Beast cub.

—They’d lost so much, and were relying on this cub to make up for the loss!

The group rode their flying tools, frantically tossing various talismans and treasures to block the Rakshasa Wolf, and eventually rushed out of the Myriad Beast Forest.

Once outside, they saw several houses.

Those who could live here were surely not ordinary. If the residents helped block the Rakshasa Wolf, they would be safe!

If the ones living here were ordinary people, then it could only be their bad luck.

Besides, daring to live here meant they were prepared to face attacks at any moment.

Being able to block the Rakshasa Wolf for them would count as that person’s fortune.

But unexpectedly, when the Rakshasa Wolf crashed into one of the houses and broke down a wall, a Soul-Devouring Tiger suddenly appeared!

That’s a fifth grade Soul-Devouring Tiger!

They were immediately scared out of their wits. At that moment, they no longer cared about anything else, and quickly threw out the cub.

In this way, the Rakshasa Wolf would be distracted by the Iron-Eating Beast cub, and the Soul-Devouring Tiger would be distracted by the Rakshasa Wolf.

Then, they would be able to escape!

And in the end, just as they’d expected, neither the Soul-Devouring Tiger nor the Rakshasa Wolf chased after them.

But, their storage bags were gone?!

“My storage bag is still here!” someone timidly raised a hand.

The ones who’d lost their storage bags suddenly turned their heads, eyes fierce, frightening that person into taking a step back.

“Why is your storage bag still here?!” Jiang Yuanxin couldn’t resist harshly demanding.

Not only her, but the others also had the same question.

Why did their storage bags disappear, while hers did not?!

The young girl was stared at until her scalp tingled, stammering, “I–I don’t know either.”

“My storage bag is still here too!” another man quickly spoke up, unwilling to see his junior sister interrogated like a criminal.

“My storage bag is still here too!”

There had originally been twelve people in this group. One died, and now five had lost their storage bags.

Tang Chifeng, Xu Chengjun, Zhao Hanxue, and the Jiang siblings, Jiang Yuancheng and Jiang Yuanxin.

Zhao Hanxue’s brows knitted tightly, her face filled with worry and confusion, “Th-this… what exactly is going on? How could the storage bags disappear?”

Xu Chengjun’s expression was also very ugly.

That storage bag had been given to him by his father, its space extremely large, and inside were many spirit stones and materials.

It held most of his life savings!

The Jiang siblings’ situation was no better.

As the treasured children of their family, their parents had given them many life-saving items for this training trip.

Adding their own savings, it was also of very high value!

Tang Chifeng’s situation was a little better than theirs.

Although his cultivation was a bit higher, he did not have a wealthy clan as his backing. Moreover, he’d just broken through not long ago, spending quite a few spirit stones, so there wasn’t much left inside his storage bag.

However, losing the storage bag was still a big problem!

The atmosphere at the scene grew heavy, and finally a young man proposed a possibility.

“It seems… all of you held the Iron-Eating Beast cub, right? Could it be that it stole them away?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone’s faces changed.
