When everyone saw that the Scarlet-Horned Iron Tiger King was dead, they all heaved a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground. This battle was already the limit for the members of the mercenary group. They didn't care about their image as they lay on the ground covered in the blood of the Scarlet-Horned Iron Tigers. When the battle ended, the mercenaries in the distance also rushed over.
Everyone sat on the ground and started a fire. They pulled over the ready-made Red-Horned Iron Tiger and skinned it. Then, they roasted it over the fire. Immediately after, they took out some wine. After the meat was roasted until it was covered in oil, they immediately ate it to make up for their consumption. The meat that contained Yuan Qi entered their stomachs and began to decompose into energy to be re-injected into their bodies.
The reason why they were able to complete the battle without any casualties was mainly because of the existence of the Gatling Gun. They had killed more than ninety percent of the Demonic Beasts. It must be known that it would take you half a day to kill more than ten thousand Demonic Beasts. Thus, everyone was chatting about this topic during the meal.
"Leader, we've struck gold this time!" Monkey looked at the Demonic Beast corpses on the ground and laughed foolishly.
"Of course, I alone killed two thousand Demonic Beasts!" Li Qing continued.
"Haha, Old Li, why are you so shameless? This is clearly the work of the Gatling Gun. According to what you said, I also killed two thousand Demonic Beasts!" One of the mercenaries who had also used the Gatling Gun said.
"Haha, of course, I also used the Gatling Gun to kill them. I even overdrew my mental strength!" Li Qing replied awkwardly.
"Then, I also used it. I killed a thousand Demonic Beasts!" Monkey couldn't help but speak up when he heard these people shamelessly talking.
"Hey, Monkey, what kind of operation was that? After you were done, you even laid on the ground and couldn't get up!" Everyone roared with laughter when they heard this.
"How dare you compare yourself to me? I just broke through to the Wuzong level last night. How many years have you all been in the Wuzong level? Be careful not to let me catch up to you," Monkey said angrily. I just broke through to the Wuzong level and didn't have enough spiritual power. These people have been in Wuzong for many years, hmph.
"Yo, you're ambitious. We'll wait for you to catch up to us." The one who spoke was Li Qing. Li Qing had been in Wuzong Realm for a long time and had accumulated enough Yuan Qi. The only thing he lacked was his mental strength, which had not reached the point where he could transform into a seed. However, if he went back and bought more beer from the Thousand Island Lake to drink, he should be able to break through.
"Alright, alright. Eating one by one won't be enough to shut your mouths. There are still many things to do after eating. We have to deal with these demonic beasts as soon as possible. Otherwise, the smell of their blood will attract even more demonic beasts tonight," Kuang Shi promptly said. Everyone immediately shut their mouths and continued eating.
"Leader, we might not be able to finish today. There are over ten thousand demonic beasts, and we still have to break down their materials. It's too much," Li Qing said vaguely as he chewed on a piece of meat.
Kuang Shi looked at the Red-Horned Iron Tiger corpses all over the basin. There were many of them, and the mercenary group only had fifty or so people. It was getting late. They definitely wouldn't be able to finish today.
"It's getting late. I'm afraid we won't be able to finish today. However, let's collect the more valuable materials first. Tonight, I'll release my King level aura to intimidate the demonic beasts. We'll deal with the rest tomorrow," Kuang Shi said after thinking about it.
"Okay." Everyone agreed and began chatting again.
Kuang Shi looked at everyone drinking and didn't pay them any mind. After all, there were only Mad Lion's people left in the basin. There weren't any living demonic beasts, so he just let them be. Tonight, as long as he released his King level aura, ordinary demonic beasts wouldn't come.
Soon, everyone finished eating. They tidied up their things and got up to collect the materials. At this time, Kuang Shi spoke again.
"Collect all the demonic beast hearts at the Martial Master level and above, as well as the horns of the Red-Horned Iron Tigers. The rest can be used to feed the Ferghana horse." The demonic beast hearts at the Martial Master level and above contained a lot of Yuan Qi and could be sold for a good price. The rest could be used to feed the Ferghana horse.
No one objected. In any case, the demonic beast hearts at the Martial Master level and below weren't worth much. This time, their harvest was huge. The mountain was filled with demonic beast corpses.
The entire body of the Red-Horned Iron Tiger was a treasure. Its horn was a good material for forging weapons and was extremely hard. Its scales could be used to forge armor, greatly increasing one's defense. Furthermore, armor was harder to forge than weapons, and its flesh could be eaten. Most of the ten thousand Red-Horned Iron Tigers were at the Martial Master level and above. They were very valuable. Just the flesh alone could be sold for a lot of money.
Everyone didn't waste any time and quickly spread out to get busy. It wasn't until late at night that they finished collecting the important materials. They crossed the basin and went to the stream to wash themselves. While collecting the materials, their bodies were covered in blood. If they didn't wash themselves, they wouldn't be able to sleep. Furthermore, if they were in the wilderness, the smell of blood on their bodies would attract demonic beasts. In the wilderness, there would usually be streams, lakes, rivers, and so on. As long as they were careful of the demonic beasts underwater, there wouldn't be any problems.
After that, Kuang Tie and his son released two general-level Ferghana horses and let them eat the hearts of the low-level demonic beasts. There was no danger in the basin now. Even if they were left for a night, there wouldn't be any danger. Furthermore, after they recognized their masters, they would be able to sense the situation of the Ferghana horse in real time.
As for the valuable materials, they were all handed over to the mercenary group leader. Because they were the strongest, even if they encountered any danger, they would be able to escape. If everyone scattered and ran, their chances of survival would be higher. If they were swallowed by a demonic beast, it would be very difficult to find them again. Normally, demonic beasts would return to their territories after hunting. Who would dare to look for them? Besides, where would they find them?
After a simple wash, the mercenaries began to set up camp. Normally, everyone would just take turns to keep watch. Their main purpose was to be alert. As long as they discovered a large number of demonic beasts, they could immediately run. However, this time was different. The smell of blood from over ten thousand demonic beasts would definitely attract a lot of demonic beasts. If they didn't have the deterrence of a King's aura, these demonic beasts would probably be gone by the next day. Thus, everyone could sleep tonight.
Only Kuang Tie and his son, Kuang Tie, were left by the campfire. Most of the mercenaries had gone to sleep, so only Kuang Tie and his son were left.
"Father, our harvest this time is huge. It's all thanks to Store Manager Mo's Earth Grade weapon. Otherwise, let alone our mercenary group, even a five-hundred-man mercenary group would be useless. They would all be wiped out," Kuang Tie said excitedly. "That's true.
The contribution of Store Manager Mo's weapon cannot be ignored. This time, our harvest is huge. After we deal with everything in the next two days, we'll go back and sell them. Many of our members who are stuck at bottlenecks will be able to break through. When the time comes, I suggest that they all go to Store Manager Mo's shop to buy things. Other than the Ferghana Horse Card, there's also the peak Profound Grade Tang Sword. There's also the Thousand Island Lake Beer that can increase mental strength. They're all good stuff, "Kuang Tie said emotionally.
"That's right. When I first met Store Manager Mo, he was only a Rank One Martial Artist. You should have seen him the last time I went, right? He's already a Rank Five Martial Master. It's only been a month. No matter how much of a genius he is, it's impossible for him to advance so quickly. Furthermore, the items in the shop are incomparably mystical. There are even items in the pet space that are not available on the continent.
Kuang Tie was also curious about the shop. In fact, the cultivators who went to the shop were all curious. However, they did not dare to think too much about it. Even if they were greedy, they could only endure it. Previously, the two Zhang brothers had been suppressed. Later on, Zhang Tiannan had also said that the shop had a Martial Emperor expert. Those who were not strong did not dare to provoke him. In any case, as long as they had money, they could buy anything in the shop. For them, there was no difference. Furthermore, the shop's rules clearly stated that fighting in the shop would not end well. Zhang Tiannan's bodyguards were all Wuzong level cultivators, but they were all injured and carried back.
"Yes, don't be too curious when you're not strong enough. The Zhang family hasn't even made a move yet, so they're definitely not easy to deal with. In any case, as long as you have money, you can buy items from the shop. Also, as you said, Manager Mo's strength is increasing rapidly. It won't be long before a new expert appears in Sentry Town. We shouldn't provoke him. Furthermore, for a shop to be able to take out so many mystical items, it's easy to imagine the power behind it. The Martial Emperor Realm might just be the starting point," Wild Lion said calmly.
"Recently, the coastline hasn't been very stable. It's possible that the next sea beast riot will come soon. The various large families and mercenary groups will all request assistance. Our mercenary group also needs to seize the time to increase our strength. The sea beasts aren't of high grades, so their value is far greater than our harvest this time. When the time comes, we'll rent the Gatling Gun in advance so that others won't snatch it from us." Kuang Shi changed the topic, no longer discussing the general store. He turned to instructing Kuang Tie.
"Yes, father." Kuang Tie earnestly noted this matter down. Just exterminating a group of sea beasts this time was already incomparably great. If the sea beasts were to riot, the value of the sea beasts would most likely double the entire mercenary group's strength. "Go to sleep.
We still have to collect materials tomorrow. "It was getting late, and there were still tens of thousands of Snow Scale Beasts that needed to be processed tomorrow. After a day of fighting, everyone was tired. Even many of the Wuzong Rank Martial Artists had exhausted their mental strength. Using the Gatling Gun and the final battle with the Red-Horned Iron Tiger King had consumed a lot of their mental strength. Many of them had also suffered light injuries, and some were even seriously injured. Today could be said to be the most difficult battle the mercenary group had ever fought.
This was because the number of sea beasts was several hundred times that of the mercenaries. If it weren't for the Gatling Gun, it would have been impossible for them to win this battle. Most of the pressure was on the Wuzong Rank Martial Artists. With them holding back the high level sea beasts, it was easy to imagine how difficult it was. After using the Gatling Gun, they still had to take turns fighting. On the other hand, Kuang Tie and the other Martial Masters suffered lighter injuries. However, that was only relative. When they were blocking the road, there were still many sea beasts that managed to escape from the Wuzong Rank Martial Artists and charged towards Kuang Tie and the others. So today, everyone was at their limit, and the others had already gone to sleep.
"Okay." Kuang Tie also went to the side of the camp to rest.
