"Damn it, we should be ahead of them." A Seven-star Saint-level mid-level Saint said angrily. Of course, he transmitted his voice and didn't dare to say it out loud.
"Don't worry, they're collecting wealth for us." Luo Zhongxu was also very annoyed and sneered.
Hearing Luo Zhongxu's words, everyone's faces suddenly showed a smile. They all knew what he meant.
They were planning to kill and rob.
…
"Do you have a feeling of uneasiness?" Chu Mu suddenly asked through voice transmission.
"Yes, ever since we entered the second floor, I've had this bad feeling," Long Yunkong said.
"There's nothing strange about it. The second floor is far more dangerous than the first floor. It's normal to have this feeling," Mu Gaoli said.
"It's never wrong to be careful," Yue Zhen said.
Chu Mu didn't say anything else.
He vaguely felt that the source of this uneasiness didn't seem to be from the cave on the second floor, but something else. However, it was vague, and he secretly paid attention to it.
The habits of the Sinners didn't change because of their level. The Bronze-level Sinners on the second floor were also sleeping in the cave walls, but the patrol teams seemed to be fewer than the first floor. It had been two hours since they entered the second floor, but they hadn't encountered any patrol teams yet. However, they didn't dare to let down their guard.
After two hours, everyone had gained a lot, but Chu Mu's harvest was the most.
So far, Chu Mu had obtained more than two hundred Bronze Roots, which were worth more than two thousand Bronze Hearts. In addition to the other Bronze-level spiritual herbs, the total value was more than five thousand Bronze Hearts. The other four had more or less earned more than three thousand Bronze Hearts.
As for the ten thousand Bronze Hearts they owed Xu Qingya, they hadn't compensated her yet. They would wait until the end of this trip to settle the accounts.
Although ten thousand Bronze Hearts were equivalent to one Silver Heart, under normal circumstances, no one would be willing to exchange.
On the first floor, Chu Mu's elixirs were the most common. After entering the second floor, this situation did not change. The four people, including Long Yunkong, were secretly working hard. No matter what, they could not be overshadowed by Chu Mu, a four-star Martial Sage.
Although Chu Mu was a Four-Star Martial Saint, his significance was completely different from other Four-Star Martial Saints.
At this time, Mu Gaoli leaped into the air silently and reached out to grab a spirit herb growing at the edge of the small cave. Unexpectedly, two words suddenly sounded in his ears, "Stop."
He could tell that it was Chu Mu's voice. Ever since he entered the first level, he had heard Chu Mu's voice many times. Every time he heard Chu Mu's voice, it meant that something had happened. It had formed a subconscious reaction. Therefore, Mu Gaoli quickly retracted his hand. At the same time, a bronze arm fell from above the spirit herb, pressing it down.
If Mu Gaoli had not retracted his hand, it was very likely that he would have touched that arm.
Silently falling down, Mu Gaoli's expression changed slightly before returning to normal.
The others also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It was very close. Just a little bit more and they might have awakened a Bronze Sinner, which in turn would have awakened the other Bronze Sinners.
"I owe you one." Mu Gaoli seemed to be a little unwilling as he said to Chu Mu in a muffled voice.
Of course, he felt very depressed. Originally, he had discovered that spirit herb. As long as he could get his hands on it, he could get sixty percent of it. One had to know that it was a high-grade Bronze Spirit Herb, worth a thousand Bronze Hearts. He could get six hundred Bronze Hearts. That was not the main point. The main point was that he would not lose out to Chu Mu, a four-star Martial Saint, by too much.
However, he had never expected that the Bronze-level Sinner, who had been in a deep sleep, would actually turn over. One of his arms hung down at the exact moment when his hand was about to touch the spiritual medicine.
If he had not listened to Chu Mu's words, there was a sixty to seventy percent chance that he would have awakened a Bronze Sinner this time.
Alright, he did not gain anything. Instead, because of Chu Mu, he had resolved a possible crisis and further highlighted Chu Mu's contribution. This feeling was as if he had deliberately created an opportunity for Chu Mu to take credit. How could he not be depressed?
However, no matter how depressed he was, he understood that if Chu Mu had not spoken up, he would have already made a mess.
"This time, fortunately, Brother Chu discovered it in time," Long Yunkong said. Long Yunkong said, "So, I think we should record this contribution first. If we find other treasures in the future, Brother Chu, you can use this contribution for your own use. You'll get eighty percent of the contribution, and we'll split the remaining twenty equally."
"Agreed." Yue Zhen nodded.
"Agreed." Xu Qingya's cold voice rang in everyone's ears. She took a few more glances at Chu Mu, and the inquisitive look in her eyes deepened.
It could not be helped. A four-star beginner Saint's performance had surpassed theirs. They could not help but be surprised. Even a cold and arrogant person like Xu Qingya could not avoid it.
"Agreed." Mu Gaoli nodded.
If there was merit, there would be benefits. This was the rule they had set earlier. It seemed that Chu Mu had taken advantage of them, but if they had merit, they could have also received such benefits.
Fortunately, each merit could only be used once. Otherwise, no one would have agreed.
Moreover, the merit could not be used immediately. It could be used according to one's needs, so there was more freedom. Otherwise, if the rule was that they had to use it the next time, then what if they found a few Bronze Roots?
An 80% bronze root and 60% bronze root, unless the amount was very large, there was not much of a difference.
Because the Bronze Sinner's arm was pressing down on the spiritual herb, everyone could only give up on it for the time being. Mu Gaoli was very unwilling.
They might be able to kill the Bronze Sinner, but it was hard to guarantee that they would not wake up the other Bronze Sinners. If they could avoid fighting on the second floor, they would try their best not to.
"Speaking of which, Brother Chu is very likely to be the biggest winner of this trip," Long Yunkong joked. The other three also felt the same.
"It hasn't been long since we entered the second floor. There's still some time before this trip ends," Chu Mu said.
"That's right. It's hard to say who will be the biggest winner until the last moment," Mu Gaoli said. His competitive spirit was evident.
They did not know that there was another team behind them that was advancing rapidly. This was the source of Chu Mu's uneasiness.
Fortunately, there were many forks. The eight of them turned into one. Otherwise, if they continued to follow Chu Mu's footsteps, they would not be able to find anything. Even if they encountered them, they would not be able to make a move. Instead, they would make the other party wary.
…
The five of them hid themselves tightly, holding their breaths and restraining their auras. Only the aura of the Bronze Root liquid spread out, mixing with the aura of the cave and becoming one.
At this moment, even their hearts stopped beating.
As a Saint-level expert, they could survive in a vacuum for a long time. They could also make their hearts stop beating for a period of time, making their blood flow stop for a period of time. However, they could not maintain this for too long, or it would cause damage to their bodies.
Usually, they did not need to do this. They only needed to lower their strength. However, a Silver Sinner was leading four Bronze Sinners on patrol.
If they went all out, they could kill the four Bronze Sinners. However, the Silver Sinner was enough to kill all five of them.
Moreover, a Silver Sinner's perception was many times better than a Bronze Sinner's. The slightest flaw would be immediately discovered. Therefore, Chu Mu and the others did not dare to look at it. They could only look at it from the corners of their eyes.
The Silver Sinner's deep eyes were emitting a light that made one's heart palpitate.
Fortunately, it did not discover Chu Mu and the others who were trying their best to hide. Even when it led the four Bronze Sinners and disappeared from their sight, they still did not move.
After a few dozen breaths, they finally got their blood to flow again and their hearts to beat again. This required some time to adjust to avoid any hidden dangers.
The five of them had very serious expressions. This was the greatest danger they had encountered since entering the cave.
Perhaps, after surviving a great disaster, one was bound to have good fortune in the future. Not long after, Chu Mu and the others found something. The person who discovered it was still Chu Mu.
"Bronze Blood Dragon Root!" Everyone's eyes suddenly widened. If not for the environment here, they would have shouted out loud.
Chu Mu was holding a root that was as thick as a forearm. The root was bronze in color, and they could vaguely see a red line running from head to tail. It looked like blood and seemed to be flowing.
The shape of the root looked like a twisted horned dragon.
Because of its color and appearance, it was called the Bronze Blood Dragon Root.
Although it had the word "bronze" in its name, the Bronze Blood Dragon Root was not a Bronze-level spiritual herb. It belonged to a higher level, the Silver-level spiritual herb.
Moreover, it was a Silver-level spiritual herb.
The value of a Silver-level spiritual herb was equivalent to 1,000 Silver Hearts, the lives of 1,000 Silver-level Sinners, and 1,000 Nine-star Saints.
Whether it was 1,000 Silver-level Sinners or 1,000 Nine-star Saints, it was a very powerful force.
Moreover, the Bronze Blood Dragon Root had an effect that could not be ignored.
In an instant, the four of them, including Long Yunkong, all stared at the Bronze Blood Dragon Root in Chu Mu's hand. Their eyes were about to turn red.
"My credit will be used on this spiritual herb," Chu Mu said.
Although he was not very clear about the effects of this spiritual herb, he could feel the incomparably majestic energy contained in it. Looking at the four people's expressions and eyes, he knew that this was definitely a very valuable spiritual herb. If he did not use it now, when would he?
As soon as Chu Mu said that, the four people's expressions changed drastically. They stiffened, and their eyes widened. They stared at Chu Mu as if they wanted to eat Chu Mu.
