Chapter 288 Level 2 Spirit Crystal
...
"Damn it, you idiot, did you think you were so angry when you told you before?" Just after the battle, Ling Han took the lead in breaking the quiet atmosphere at the scene, pointed at Hong Gang angrily, and scolded loudly.
The rest of the people also looked at the two brothers Hong Gang who were panting aside with displeasure, their eyes full of blame.
Hong Gang also knew that his mistake had caused a bloody battle that should not have happened, so he slowly raised his head and faced several gazes shot from around him. His body trembled slightly, and then he looked back with an apology look and lowered his head again, not daring to look at everyone again, muttering aggrievedly: "Who knows that the snake is the same color as the soil on the ground."
Hearing Hong Gang's whisper like a mosquito, Ling Han was even more angry and jumped up, pointing at Hong Gang and cursing: "It's not your fault? Tell you how many times you told you to be careful, even if you see you, you don't have to shout so loudly. Fuck you, we are killed by you sooner or later."
Seeing Ling Han getting angry, Hong Gang didn't dare to speak again this time, but just turned his head to avoid Ling Han's gaze and looked at Ou Chuyang and others with a pitiful look, as if asking for help. It was indeed asking for help, but no one was willing to help him, and even Zijing, who was looking at him, was blamed.
"Hey, who are you scolding?" Hong Gang did not dare to speak, but it did not mean that Hong Lie did not dare. Ling Han's angry words completely angered him. He heard Ling Han insulting his brother, he could no longer sit still, and suddenly stood up and stared at Ling Han and shouted.
Ling Han, who was already full of anger, had no place to vent his feelings when he saw Hong Lie dare to stand up for Hong, suddenly became tired: "The ones who are scolding you are the two pigs, why are you not convinced? I will teach you your parents a lesson." As he said that, Ling Han picked up his axe and walked over to Hong Lie.
At this time, when he saw someone bullying his younger brother, Hong Gang stopped doing it. He suddenly stood up and pulled out the big sword behind him and looked at Ling Han who was about to come, with anger on his face.
Seeing that both sides were about to fight, a whisper in the field suddenly sounded: "Stop it all."
Hearing this sound, both sides stopped and their eyes moved to the owner of the sound.
"What do you want to do? Don't forget that we have other purposes this time." The voice's owner was naturally the leader of the team, Zijing. At this time, she was solemnly reminding that although the words were scolding both parties that were about to break out, her eyes were always staring at Ling Han.
"Hmph!" Ling Han had to stop hearing the group leader Zijing's warning. After all, Zijing was the leader of the team. No matter how angry Ling Han was, he still had to listen to Zijing's words. He snorted heavily in his nose, and Ling Han turned around and walked back to his original position and sat down angrily.
Seeing that Ling Han had already returned, the two brothers Hong Gang also took back their weapons and sat down. Hong Gang looked at Zijing with a little apology.
Seeing that the scene stabilized, Zijing said slowly: "Now it is still one day away from our destination. From now on, I don't want anything unpleasant to happen again. If such things happen again, we don't have to encircle and suppress the Red Fire Fox King. Such a team might as well disband early, so as not to die in the Sunburst Forest by then."
With his eyes swept over everyone, Zijing said coldly, paused slightly, and Zijing continued, "Also, I saw a few wrong places in the battle just now, which is very unfavorable for our exploration of the small valley. I must say it." Speaking of this, Zijing turned his eyes to Brother Hong Gang and said, "You two are reckless. I will pay more attention in the future and don't make such low-level mistakes again."
Seeing that the Hong Gang and his brothers nodded in conscience, Zijing didn't say anything more, then turned his eyes to Bai Yu and said coldly: "Bai Yu, as the strongest combat power in the team, what did you do just now? Why were Bai Tianzhong and Ling Han the first to rush up? You, even in the battle, you didn't use all your strength. Why?"
After being reminded by Zijing, everyone immediately turned their eyes to Bai Yu, and the eyes of his eyes gradually became cold and fierce. As a member of the team, when the team members were in danger, everyone must show their full strength and try their best to prevent the occurrence of casualties. This is the basic code of mercenaries and the basic principle of being a human being. In the battle just now, everyone in the team fought their lives, only Bai Yu but only had an outside attack. After a few sneak attacks, anyone with a discerning eye could tell what he was keeping. If Zijing had not been raised, maybe everyone would have suspiciously and then forgot about this matter. But now Zijing's reproach immediately reminded everyone of the suspicion, and there was a hint of vigilance in their eyes when everyone looked at Bai Yu.
At this time, Ou Chuyang was also staring at Bai Yu, recalling the previous battle in his mind. As the "lowest" person among the regiment commanders, Ou Chuyang contributed the least effort, but he was the one who could calmly look at the overall situation. He naturally knew the best how much Bai Yu had put in. However, he seemed to be retaining his strength. Thinking back to Bai Yu's occasional cunning gaze before, Ou Chuyang always felt something was wrong, but he was not sure. But one thing is certain that Bai Yu was not simple, and he should have other plans.
Looking at the cold eyes of everyone, Bai Yu smiled faintly, shook the iron fan in his hand and said slowly: "Why do you think of me like this? Is it necessary to make a fuss about a mere second-level spirit beast? If so many of us can't even deal with a scorched earth king snake, what else can we talk about to encircle and suppress the Red Flame Fox King? I just want to see what the newcomers are." It seemed that they didn't see the Bauhinia, with a very arrogant expression.
Bai Yu's arrogant tone suddenly aroused the dissatisfaction of everyone, but due to his strength, everyone did not say anything, but just looked at Bai Yu in anger.
"This Bai Yu is really crazy." Shaking his head helplessly, Ou Chuyang muttered to himself, "I know you have the capital to be arrogant, but don't forget that we are a whole. Without us, you can't even think of getting treasures in the valley alone." Hearing Bai Jing's indifference in Bai Yu's words, Zi Jing was very angry, but because Bai Yu's strength was higher than himself, Zi Jing didn't say it deeply, so he could only remind him with a threat.
"I know. Captain." Bai Yu responded impatiently, and his expression did not treat Zijing as the leader at all.
No one is strong, and Zijing has no choice. He looked at Bai Yu with a blame, and then continued: "I think the one who has made the most effort just now is Liu Ran. Although he is only of a level nine warrior, he can see the fighter clearly at a critical moment and appropriately block the attack of the scorched earth king snake. It is also this time that we can solve the scorched earth king snake as soon as possible. I will remember this point, and I will ask him to get one more part of it in the future. Hong Gang, I said before, I will deal with all actions that affect the interests of the team. If you get the treasure, you have the last choice of the treasure."
When the Hong brothers heard the punishment announced by Zijing, they couldn't help but regret it secretly. They were about to make a quibble, but they found that it was actually the one who was wrong, so they lowered their heads again.
Ou Chuyang nodded in appreciation at Zijing, thinking: "No, the rewards and punishments are clear! No wonder he can become the leader of the team."
Seeing that the Hong brothers did not refute, Zijing nodded secretly. These two rash men seemed rude, but they were open and honest. It was their own fault and they did not make too much quibbling, which made Zijing look at them with admiration.
"Now everyone tries it and collects the corpse of the scorched earth king snake to see if there are any spiritual crystals. Judging from the posture just now, this scorched earth king snake should not be as simple as level 2." After briefly summarizing the shortcomings and advantages of the battle just now, Zijing then led the topic to the corpse of the scorched earth king snake.
The words of Bauhinia pulled everyone's thoughts to reality. Now everyone stood up and walked towards the corpse of the scorched earth king snake. Looking at the huge body of the curled cricket, everyone's eyes did not emit a little bit of light. You should know that the corpse of a second-level spirit beast can produce many treasures, such as snake skin, especially the scorched earth king snake with earth attributes. The skin on the body can be made into amazing scales, and the hard teeth can be made into weapons. If you are lucky, you can also dig out spirit crystals in the snake's head.
Everyone surrounded the corpse of the scorched earth king snake, and greedy eyes showed in their eyes. They were not allowed to discuss it. The task of dividing the corpse naturally fell on Hong Gang, for nothing else, just because the huge machete behind him was the best weapon to dismember.
"Chila" The sharp blade slid down the snake's mouth, and the snake's skin slowly tore apart. Although it successfully cut the snake's body, the tense veins of Hong Gang's thick arms were enough to show the toughness of the snake's skin.
"Tianzhong." After Hong Gang cut off the entire snake skin, Zijing called out lightly.
Hearing the sound of the Bauhinia, Bai Tianzhong nodded slightly, pulled his palm on his boots, and a short dagger appeared in his hand. Bai Tianzhong silently walked to the snake head of the scorched earth king snake, raised the dagger and inserted it deeply, and stroked it hard. The dagger immediately opened a hole in the head of the scorched earth king snake.
With a crisp "ding" sound, everyone immediately cheered in surprise.
"Spirit Crystal!"
Seeing the light yellow transparent crystals flashing in Bai Tianzhong's hands, the depression in everyone's heart finally disappeared and couldn't help but cheer.
Zijing guessed it well. This second-level spirit beast, the scorched earth king snake, did not disappoint everyone's expectations. There was really a spiritual crystal in his body. If he had known this, even if Hong Gang had not disturbed it, everyone would have waited for an opportunity to kill it. Generally, a mercenary group like them might not get a few in their lifetime.
"The harvest is good. After this spirit crystal returned to Sangping Town for sale, everyone got the gold coins. If anyone in the team needs it, as long as everyone agrees, they can also exchange the corresponding gold coins." Seeing the spirit crystal of the scorched earth king snake, Zijing temporarily abandoned the previous unhappiness and a charming smile appeared on his face again.
"Is this the spirit crystal?" This was the first time Ou Chuyang saw the spirit crystal. Although he had heard Wu Xin talk about this knowledge before, it gave him a vague feeling. Now, when observing the spirit crystal at close range, Ou Chuyang could clearly feel a faint crevict of energy in the crystal emitting outward. The light yellow light has not weakened at all since Bai Tianzhong took it out of the head of the scorched earth king snake.
"It's really a good thing. No wonder some strong people rely on this kind of thing to improve their strength. The energy inside is indeed pure. From this point of view, spiritual beasts with spirit crystals are much harder to deal with than ordinary spirit beasts of the same level." His eyes swept towards the corpse of the scorched earth king snake on the ground, and Ou Chuyang thought to himself in admiration.
"Okay, let's keep going." Looking at the excited people, the group leader Zijing smiled and gave the order to move forward. Then the group waited, cleaned up briefly, and continued to walk towards the direction of the small valley.
The afterglow of the setting sun gradually faded away, the full moon climbed into the sky unknowingly, and the earth returned to calm, and the silver moonlight shone, giving people a sense of tranquility. In the deep forest, more than a dozen figures slowly stopped, and then became busy under the soft light of the stars in the sky.
"The tent is set up." I don't know who broke the silence of the night.
"Okay, let's raise the fire." A delicate voice responded.
Then, a big man put down his axe and walked to the middle of the figure. He moved his power to the triangle-shaped wood frame. With a loud breeze, a faint red flame quickly ignited the wood. The rising flames instantly illuminated everyone's faces.
The figures were the Bauhinia Mercenary Group team heading to the small valley.
After walking for almost two days, everyone finally couldn't help but feel tired and rested. The simple tents built around them were their place tonight.
After everything was ready, the regiment commander Zijing said, "After eating, I was assigned to keep vigil, and I will continue to rush tomorrow. Let's have a good rest today. There is still a tough battle to fight tomorrow." Just after that, the fragrance came from the wooden racks on the fire.
"Huh? It smells so good." Lin Meng was the first to smell the fragrance. As a woman, she has always been very sensitive to two things. One is dressing, and the second is food.
At this moment, everyone was also turned around by the scent that was floating. Just then, Ou Chuyang walked over with two roasted turkeys, handed the turkey in his hand to everyone, and said, "Come on, try it."
Seeing the roasted turkey in Ou Chuyang's hand, everyone swallowed their saliva. Bai Tianzhong took out a dagger and quickly divided the turkey into multiple portions evenly and distributed it to everyone. Everyone immediately swallowed it without hesitation.
"It's delicious." Hong Gang chewed in his mouth and praised without hesitation.
Zijing took a bite and the aroma immediately pricked her taste. She looked at Ou Chuyang in surprise and said with a smile: "Brother Di, your skills are not bad."
Ou Chuyang laughed and said nothing, and started eating on his own.
After a long time, everyone finally filled their stomachs and sat there praising Ou Chuyang's skills. After chatting for a while, they went back to their tents to rest.
Chapter completed!
