Juque Mountain.
The hunting group's journey was slowed down by Master Lian's stubbornness.
As he sat on the sedan chair, he constantly complained about the bearers' rough hands and feet, causing his back to ache and his legs to cramp. The few bearers who were really tired to the point of having their backs ache and legs cramp were so angry that they wanted to beat him up on the spot if not for the fact that they had to earn money to support their families.
After dealing with the two mountain monsters that blocked the way, he was hungry after walking for less than four hours. Since the Hunting Group couldn't leave, they could only rest on the spot.
They started a fire and cooked the marinated bear meat into a pot of soup.
Of course, the soup was for the hunting group and the bearers. Master Lian and his concubine ate the exquisite dishes from the Red Moon Restaurant in the Universe Ring that was embedded with quality preservation runes.
That's right. Master Lian was just an ordinary person. He did not use a Universe Bag, but a more precious Universe Ring.
As the name suggested, a Universe Ring was just a small ring, but there was a world inside. It was said that the smallest Universe Ring had a capacity that was a few times bigger than the largest Universe Bag. This was because the craftsmanship and materials were not equal. Therefore, even the smallest Interspatial Ring was worth more than 400 Soul Stones.
Yan Li then knew that to craft a Space Relic, he needed a treasure called Obsidian. There were very few ways to get it. In White Water City, you could only get it by killing a Meteorite Beast that was above the commander level. Therefore, it was always in short supply.
"Hunting Chief Chen, are you forgetting something?"
Yan Li suddenly asked Chen Tai while they were drinking the soup.
"What did I forget?" Chen Tai was confused.
Yan Li said, "We agreed to pay two Soul Stones a day. It's been a day and a half."
Chen Tai did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Brother Yan, the hunting group has never paid us once a day. We always count the days when we return to White Water City."
Yan Li said, "That won't do. What if you kick me out of the hunting group? Wouldn't my hard work be wasted?"
"You just hunted a bear. How is that hard work?" Qiu Shaofeng said in disdain.
"You can't say that." Yan Li said, "When we first hired you, we agreed that you would get two soul stones a day. Are you going to pay us with merits now?"
"Of course not." Chen Tai felt a headache coming on, but he still wore a smile on his face. "Fine, we'll have to settle the payment sooner or later anyway. There's no harm in giving it to you first." After saying that, he took out two soul stones and gave them to Yan Li.
Yan Li took it without hesitation.
"Pfft!" Qiu Shaofeng began to dislike Yan Li more and more.
"Hey, don't be lazy. Hurry up and set off!" At this time, young master Lian had eaten and drunk to his heart's content. He had also taken advantage of the two concubines, so he sat on the palanquin, not caring whether the others had finished eating or not.
The hunting group set off again, with Yan Li at the back as usual. Ma Jun couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why is Brother Yan in such a hurry to ask for the reward?"
"Of course, this is also a test," Yan Li said.
"What test?" Ma Jun asked.
"I'll tell you later," Yan Li said.
Ma Jun stole a glance at the troops in front of him. After making sure that they couldn't hear him, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Yan, actually, I've also discovered a very strange phenomenon."
"Oh?" Yan Li said.
Ma Jun said, "This morning, Sun Lu told me that last night, the boss of the Changzhou Five Tycoons secretly looked for Yu Wenfei to discuss something. He wanted to eavesdrop, but he was worried that it would be bad if he was found out. "
"I'm worried that they might be preparing to join forces …" He said with some concern, "After all, the four of us are the weakest, and we're carrying …"
Yan Li said, "I shouldn't have told you those things."
Ma Jun asked curiously, "Why?"
Yan Li said, "You're now in a state of chaos. Instead of speculating about the unknown, it's better to think about how to deal with danger when it comes."
"This …" Ma Jun sighed. "If it really comes to that, we can only escape."
"Isn't Young Master Lian the weakest?" Yan Li said.
Ma Jun was startled and suddenly said, "Right, are they going to discuss how to deal with Young Master Lian? After all, Young Master Lian's family is so rich. "
"No, that's not right!" After saying that, he immediately shook his head and denied, "The Lian family is deeply rooted in White Water City. Although Ape God has some influence, if he wants to dig out treasures from the Lian family, he will easily lose his life."
"It's good that you've learned to think." Yan Li said, "But sometimes you have to look at things from a different perspective. Do you think it's better for Young Master Lian to be dead or alive? I mean for Chen Tai."
Ma Jun thought about it carefully and said, "Young Master Lian can only maximize the benefits if he's alive."
"That's right," Yan Li said.
"So if we want to sabotage their operation, we should …" Ma Jun made a cruel gesture with killing intent. He unconsciously stood on Yan Li's side.
"No, why should we sabotage?" Yan Li said.
"What do you mean, Brother Yan?" Ma Jun said.
Yan Li said calmly, "Nothing is called a thing until it happens. No matter what kind of speculation, we have to see it happen before we can make a final conclusion."
Ma Jun couldn't figure out Yan Li's intentions and suddenly felt a little worried. This could be seen from the fact that he suddenly kept a certain distance from Yan Li.
Yan Li smiled and said, "In the periphery of Juque Mountain, other than the mountain monsters, what other Star Fall Beasts are there?"
"There are many types …" Ma Jun listed more than ten monsters at once, "But the real threat and value should be the Ghost Spirit, Flying Sky Demon, Demon Bear, Wooden Plate …"
"I know the Ghost Spirit and Flying Sky Demon, but what is the Demon Bear?" Yan Li said.
"The Demon Bear is a leader level Star Fall Beast. It wanders around Divine Dream Lake and is very powerful. But after killing it, you can definitely condense a Moon Demon Stone," Ma Jun said.
"Oh, what about the Wooden Plate?" Yan Li asked.
Ma Jun said, "The Wooden Plate is a special kind of Star Fall Beast. It looks like a cut tree stump, but it can move its roots at will. It won't attack people, and when it sees people, it will immediately run away. Its whole body is a treasure. Its roots are the main ingredient of the Hundred-herb Pill to treat internal injuries. Its body can be made into thousand-year-old agarwood. If we can catch a Wooden Plate, we will be rich. "
"Doesn't it look like that kind?" Yan Li suddenly pointed in a direction.
Ma Jun looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tree stump in the middle of a towering tree. He suddenly became excited and shouted with a suppressed voice, "Wooden Plate, I found a Wooden Plate!"
"There's a Wooden Plate?" When the whole hunting group heard this news, they became excited.
