Zhang Tiannan's group had been sent to the battlefield to collect materials, so they should be relatively safe.
"Uh, I was accidentally stabbed by a swordfish." Zhang Tiannan was embarrassed.
Actually, it wasn't a stab wound. Zhang Tiannan had been collecting materials from a sea beast when a wave suddenly came over and a swordfish monster flew over.
Zhang Tiannan didn't even have time to react. He only felt the pain when the swordfish monster was killed by a general-level cultivator.
But it was really embarrassing. If the swordfish had been slightly off course, it might have really become a thorn.
Fortunately, the monster wasn't poisonous. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome. Poisonous sea beasts would have been troublesome if they had been injured. The poison was incomparably strong, and they might have had to amputate their limbs.
Opportunities and risks always went hand in hand. The more you gained, the more risks you would face.
Mo Tiankong understood that this might be a harvest feast, but it was only for the cultivators who survived.
The two didn't delay and followed the group to the back of the camp. Zhang Tiannan was also injured, so he still had to go back and bandage his wounds.
After returning to the camp, Mo Tiankong didn't stay. After saying goodbye to Zhang Tiannan, he went to Mad Lion's camp.
Putting away the Auspicious, Mo Tiankong ran for a few minutes. After seeing a few familiar faces, he stopped. He had seen Monkey, Li Qing, and the others before.
When he arrived at Mad Lion's camp, he didn't get stopped like the Zhang Family's camp. Basically, all the mercenary groups had been to the store before, so they were naturally familiar with it.
"Store Manager Mo, how come you have time to come here?" After seeing Mo Tiankong from afar, Monkey ran over. They were currently in the middle of a shift, so Monkey wasn't on the battlefield. He was more leisurely at the back of the camp.
"It's nothing. I just happened to be here, so I came to see you guys." Mo Tiankong would not tell him that he wanted to see the power of the Gatling gun.
He had heard from the mercenaries that Mad Lion had exterminated tens of thousands of Demon Beasts. Eighty percent of the Demon Beasts had been killed by the Gatling Gun. Mo Tiankong's heart itched when he heard that, but he couldn't leave the shop. After all, the Antelope Mountain Range was quite far.
There was still danger. If he went alone, hehe. This time, the Sea Beast Riot was not far from the shop, and it was relatively safe. There was a large group of Martial King Wuzong at the front, so it was relatively safe to stay at the back.
Since they were already here, they might as well take a look. The two of them chatted as they walked, and soon, they entered the camp.
When the mercenaries saw Mo Tiankong, they all greeted him.
However, they all thought that Mo Tiankong was just here to join in the fun. After all, Mo Tiankong had no idea how much money the shop made.
To an outsider, the shop's revenue was all Mo Tiankong's. After deducting the cost, it was still a huge sum. Would Mo Tiankong lack money to come to the Sea Beast Riot to kill Demon Beasts? Definitely not.
Fortunately, Mo Tiankong didn't know what the mercenaries were thinking. He really did lack money. Just coming out of the System required him to pay a fee. It was simply too horrible to look at.
The shop's revenue was very high, but Mo Tiankong's share was very small. Furthermore, it was all converted into cultivation, so he didn't feel anything.
Moreover, if it was a 9: 1 split, the cost was too high. The System was the one that really made money. Strictly speaking, Mo Tiankong was more like a cashier.
The Kuang Tie wasn't in the camp, so he should be on the battlefield. Who would have thought that the Kuang Tie was such a warmonger? It hadn't been long since they gathered, so if he wasn't in the camp, he would definitely be the first to go to the battlefield.
Mo Tiankong didn't stay in the camp for long. After greeting everyone, he walked forward.
Unlike the Zhang Family, Martial Masters were mostly on the battlefield collecting materials from Demon Beasts, so it was relatively safe. On the other hand, the Wild Lion Mercenary Group's side was a different story. From afar, one could see Kuang Tie holding a large sword and fighting against a demon beast. He was very violent. There were many small wounds on his body, but they weren't serious.
However, Mo Tiankong soon stopped paying attention to him, because he saw a mercenary holding a Gatling Gun shooting crazily. The number of Sea Beasts was decreasing rapidly, and there was even a gap.
Moreover, this guy was holding a bottle of Thousand Island Beer. When there were fewer Sea Beasts, he would stop the Gatling Gun and take a sip of the beer. Behind him, there were other warriors constantly urging him. Only a few of the other warriors were fighting and training their skills. Most of them were collecting materials, while the nearby mercenaries were chatting.
What the f * ck, Mo Tiankong was speechless at this strange scene. Why did it feel like they were on a vacation by the sea? Looking at them drinking and chatting, the experience was completely different.
Mo Tiankong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If there was a deck chair, the entire fruit platter would be for sunbathing.
However, to be honest, using the Gatling Gun was more economical. Although one bullet cost one Spirit Stone, the value of a Demon Beast was definitely more than one Spirit Stone.
Mo Tiankong looked at the countless Sea Beast corpses on the battlefield and sighed. Mad Lion was really ruthless. These were only the Sea Beasts killed in this short period of time, and he had already spent several thousand Spirit Stones. No one knew how long the Sea Beast Uprising would last, so how many Spirit Stones had he prepared?
Mo Tiankong glanced at the Mad Lion in the sky. He had taken out all his savings.
How bold. Looking at the Sea Beast corpses all over the ground, he would probably make a crazy amount of money if he sold them.
At this time, Kuang Tie had also killed a Sea Beast. After collecting the materials, he saw Mo Tiankong standing there and walked over.
"Store Manager Mo, why are you here?" Kuang Tie asked Mo Tiankong as he wiped the Sea Beast blood on his face.
Why did he always open with this sentence? Mo Tiankong didn't know why he couldn't come. This question was too sharp, and it wasn't easy to answer.
"I'm here to see the results of your battle." Mo Tiankong thought of something and could only say this.
"Store Manager Mo, thanks to the store's Gatling Gun, our harvest this year will definitely be huge, and there won't be any casualties." Kuang Tie was still somewhat grateful when it came to harvest. With the store's Gatling Gun, as long as there were Spirit Stones, the Sea Beasts that came in Mad Lion's area would all die.
Most importantly, there weren't any casualties. The mercenary group didn't have many members to begin with, and in the past, there were still some casualties in close combat, even though the mercenary group's members were mostly strong.
However, even a hero couldn't win against so many people, and the number of Sea Beasts far exceeded the number of mercenaries. In the past, they were barely able to defend against the Sea Beasts. Fortunately, the mercenary group's leader was a Martial King, or else they might have all died.
However, after renting the Gatling Gun from the general store this year, things became much simpler. Not only were there no casualties, but they also had an easier time collecting Sea Beast materials compared to other areas. Furthermore, the efficiency of killing Sea Beasts had increased by several folds. It was a completely different concept compared to the previous time when they had to kill Sea Beasts with a knife and a gun.
After all, the Gatling Gun didn't need to be used in close combat, and it was extremely powerful from a distance. As long as they had enough Mental Energy and Spirit Stones, killing Sea Beasts was as easy as harvesting Chives. Moreover, the stronger Sea Beasts were dealt with by the Wuzong mercenaries, and the King Tier Demonic Beasts were dealt with by Mad Lion.
It could be said that this trip was just a bit of effort to collect Spirit Stones.
However, Mo Tiankong didn't think too much about it.
"The store is for rent. You guys also spent money to rent it, so it's nothing."
"If it wasn't for the Super General Store, we wouldn't have been able to rent Earth Tier Weapons. Those big families usually hide their weapons very well," Kuang Tie said with a smile.
The two chatted for a while. When they returned to the camp, Kuang Tie went to treat his injuries. Although they were all small wounds, they still needed to be treated. After all, they didn't know how long the Sea Beast Riot would last.
The Sea Beast Riot was caused by the King Tier Demonic Beasts on the surface of the sea. It was like a routine. Every year, the Sea Beasts would launch attacks a few times, sometimes more, sometimes less. The key to solving the Sea Beast Riot was still the Martial Kings on the human side.
As long as a majority of the King Tier Demonic Beasts were killed, the rest would return to the Chaotic Ocean and the Sea Beast Riot would naturally stop.
However, compared to previous years, this year's Sea Beast Riot was even bigger. There were many King Tier Demonic Beasts on the surface of the sea, and the number was still increasing. From time to time, King Tier Demonic Beasts would surface from the sea.
On the human side, Martial Kings were constantly flying into the sky to confront the King Tier Demonic Beasts.
However, the situation wasn't good. Most of the human Martial Kings were in the sky, but King Tier Demonic Beasts continued to appear on the surface of the sea.
Mo Tiankong saw the Zhang Clan and the other four great clans at the rear of the camp, as well as other big and small clans, as well as some other forces, had all sent people back to ask for help.
Of course, this was Mo Tiankong's guess, but it was true.
There were many King Tier Demonic Beasts behind the Sea Beast Riot. Ye Yun, who was stationed at the camp, urgently contacted the major forces. After explaining the situation, they all sent cultivators back to ask for help. After all, if the lips were gone, the teeth would be cold. If the coastline was breached, then Sentry Town wouldn't be far away. Ye Yun even guessed that there were Emperor Tier Demonic Beasts behind the scenes. After all, there were too many King Tier Demonic Beasts.
The sky gradually darkened. Mo Tiankong didn't stay for long. After greeting everyone, he hurried back to the shop.
If it weren't for the System's reminder, there wouldn't be any customers in the shop. However, when he thought about how many Spirit Stones he had spent the entire afternoon out here, Mo Tiankong reacted and hurriedly left.
After running all the way, he quickly returned to the shop.
As soon as he stepped into the shop, Mo Tiankong directly asked, "System, how long have I been out?"
"From the time I left, five hours and fifty-six minutes have passed."
Mo Tiankong's heart ached a little. He couldn't feel the passage of time when he was out. It felt as if six hours had passed in just a short while.
"A total of three hundred and fifty-six Spirit Stones have been deducted from your balance." The System's voice sounded again.
Mo Tiankong glanced at the column of his balance on the interface. It had gone from seven thousand eight hundred and eight Spirit Stones to seven thousand four hundred and fifty-two Spirit Stones.
Time was really precious. Previously, he had also signed an unfair contract with the System. Now that it was deducted, there was nothing he could do. He could only curse the evil System in his heart.
He turned around and walked into the kitchen in the backyard. From his spatial backpack, he took out a conch the size of a human head. Before he left, Mo Tiankong had picked it up from the battlefield. He was going to roast it tonight.
