Apocalyptic Beastworld: A Farming Space Dimension to Another World-Chapter 55: A Familiar Beastman

Even Elder Peng and the wolf beastmen confessed about the mysterious person, but the identity was vague. Hence, they needed him to lure the person out.

"Are you sure the person only contacted the two of you?" Leng Chuan asked, his voice calm and composed.

The wolf beastman’s eyes flickered with hesitation. "Actually, the first person that person reached out to... was me. Then, after I told them that Elder Peng was in charge, they shifted their attention to him."

"So, I am not sure if they contacted someone else besides us," he hastily added.

"Are you two sure you don’t know this person’s gender?" Ma Yongcheng asked, wanting to narrow down his lists of suspects.

At first, he considered it to be someone from their village who still stayed behind. Or maybe someone who had left with the village head. He didn’t know for sure.

The village head’s whereabouts was unknown for the time being. Even after over a week passed, almost nearing two weeks, there was still no news from them.

"The person always uses a long robe... the voice seems to be weird. I can’t guess the gender." The wolf beastmen spilled out everything he knew. On the contrary, Elder Peng was more tight-lipped, sneering at the wolf beastman every time he answered their question.

"What do you think, Elder Peng?" Ma Yongcheng’s face was filled with ferociousness, daring him to lie.

"I don’t know." Elder Peng snorted.

In the end, thanks to Ma Yongcheng’s ’persuasion’, Elder Peng finally provided more explanation about his guess.

The old man was gasping for breath because of the pain, but still forcefully answered their question through gritted teeth. "The person is from a city obviously, wearing long robes different from our coarse fierce beast skin."

He paused briefly before continuing. A strange look crossed his face. "The person limped slightly as if they were injured. The next day, they seemed fine..."

There was a trace of longing on his face as he talked about this.

"How about we make a deal, Elder Peng?" Ma Yongcheng offered. He had consulted others, especially his wife before deciding. "If you can lure that person out, I will let you go."

The wolf beastman widened his eyes when he heard that. He was anxious and couldn’t help but recommend himself. "Me too! I-I can help!"

Elder Peng pursed his lips. It took hours before he finally gave his answer. He had agreed.

The group couldn’t possibly starve them, so they reluctantly had to share the roasted fierce beast meat with the two.

"Elder Peng, just don’t do any tricks when you are cooperating with us. Once you fulfill what you are supposed to do, we will naturally do ours." Ma Yongcheng said as he gave the dinner to Elder Peng.

"You know," he gestured to Xie Ziyuan, who was sitting at the side eating his dinner. His movement was somewhat elegant, yet carried a sense of power. "Our Master Xie can track people down easily. So, we will find you even if you jump into hell."

His words were convincing. Even Elder Peng and the wolf beastman were forced to believe that. Because... It was Xie Ziyuan who was so adept at finding people and unraveling their scheme.

"Of course," Elder Peng said unwillingly. He hesitated, "To contact that person, we will need to go back to the village."

He paused, unsure how to voice it out. He cleared his throat and said awkwardly, "So, you have to protect me."

The sight of dozens of beastmen rushing toward him was still vivid in his mind. It sparked a fear from the bottom of his heart, and... a sense of loss.

As much as he hated to admit it, he was sure that without their protection, he would turn into minced meat once he stepped back into that village.

"You have to send me there today, one hour after midnight," he muttered.

"So many requests," Ma Yongcheng grumbled.

Elder Peng glared at him. "If you don’t want to do it, then don’t." Soon, he became much more quiet when he remembered this young beastman’s method.

"That’s the only way." He glanced at the wolf beastman. "I don’t know if they contacted others through similar methods or even contacted them at all. I suppose they only contact me."

A few hours before midnight, as they took a rest, he sensed that the ghostly woman’s presence was gone. His strength had only recovered slightly, so excessive use of the space power also had taken a toll on his body.

Thankfully, he finally had the chance to replenish some of his energy now that she wouldn’t fight the opportunity to farm. He woke up right after the paddy rice was ready for harvest.

He had only taken seven portions yesterday, so there were still twenty remaining. She hadn’t touched it again.

So thoughtful, huh?

Almost seventy percent of his power had recovered, and he was ready to bring Elder Peng and the wolf beastman back again. This time, he only brought Ma Yongcheng with him after knocking the two unconscious again.

Elder Peng went to the forest as soon as he was awake. This time, because it was Xie Ziyuan who made his move, he didn’t feel much pain.

"If you follow me, they might get alerted," Elder Peng said unwillingly.

"How will we know you aren’t running away then?" Ma Yongcheng sneered.

After a while, he changed his tune. "Fine. Go there and come back quickly."

Still full of doubt, Elder Peng finally walked toward the forest near the village, resisting the pain. Each step he took, he almost couldn’t resist from hissing.

Soon, he finally found out why they had let him go so easily. He exclaimed in shock, nearly stumbling, "You... you..."

Xie Ziyuan had followed him soundlessly.

He couldn’t even detect his presence. With the silver wolf following and watching his every move, he was forced to be honest, sending a letter through the bird that the person had raised.

"It may take one to three days," Elder Peng said, feeling awkward. This person was too quiet and intimidating. He could tell that the other party didn’t regard him highly at all. Yet, he couldn’t even feel offended—the other party’s strength was above him. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Surprisingly, the reply came quickly. The other person asked him to meet them the next day.

The person was certainly not an ordinary beastmen, so Ma Yongcheng stayed away for the time being. As far as possible so that they wouldn’t detect his presence and become suspicious.

Their delicious prey had entered the mouth, and they couldn’t just let them run away like that. After all, they also had prepared a big surprise for them.

"Elder Peng, you betrayed us?" The person screamed at Elder Peng sharply.

Elder Peng’s expression was also ugly, but he really had no choice. No matter how unwilling he was, he would still fight to survive. He knew Xie Ziyuan could deal with this person based on his power.

As it turned out, it was more than one person involved who had been cooperating with Elder Peng.

There was another presence nearby and Xie Ziyuan effortlessly caught the person, tossing Qi Mian to the ground, crashing into the black-robed person who was trying to get away.

Qi Mian was the squirrel female beastman who had been going against them in the trafficker’s den. Unexpectedly, she survived.
