The ninth team began to advance along the established route toward the destination of Tiger Hill, singing all the way.
It has to be said that these experienced hunters, walking in the wilderness, are like humanoid metal beast harvesters. They can quickly kill any metal beast they encounter, and they rarely encounter casualties. A whole month has passed, and only a dozen people have been lost from the original more than 200 people, and no hunter above the senior level has died.
Qi Ying's harvest also expanded rapidly during this period of time.
"Captain, what do you want with so many metal beast cores? The carrying capacity of a person's body is limited. Only when the cultivation level is improved can more metal beast cores be used." Anilu asked Qi Ying, and suddenly His eyes widened, "Is it possible, captain, that you are about to become an emperor-level hunter?"
"Haha, can't I prepare for a rainy day?"
Qi Ying patted the innocent-looking Enilu on the head, just like an elder caressing a junior - but only Qi Ying knew that in terms of age, compared with Enilu, he was the real junior.
In the past month, he had collected hundreds of emperor-level metal beast cores.
Metal beast cores of other levels are even more numerous.
Every time Qi Ying killed a powerful metal beast alone, Qi Ying would take out the body of the metal beast and exchange their metal beast cores with Sha, the Chief Officer and the team members.
indeed.
As Anilu said, a cultivator, given his own level of cultivation, has limited carrying capacity for a metal beast core, so the value of a metal beast core is probably not as high as the value of a metal beast corpse. You must know that it takes a dozen or even dozens of complete metal beast corpses to create a weapon and armor of the same level. In comparison, the value of the metal beast core is even lower.
Ordinary hunters, in addition to those who specialize in hunting metal beasts and get metal beast cores to sell in the city, basically want the bodies of metal beasts.
But Qi Ying is obviously an exception.
He doesn't need the body of the metal beast. Most hunters value the armor they wear most and will prepare multiple sets for themselves in case of emergency. And Qi Ying didn't care about these armors at all. Even with this heavy armor, what Qi Ying valued more was to offset the effect of the metal beast's domain force field rather than its protective power.
The metal beast core is what can improve him.
According to the level classification of Kanazawa Continent, Qi Ying's true level is actually the same as that of ordinary team members, only the elite king level. Because of this, Qi Ying still has a lot of room for improvement. In the future, he will grow up to a quasi-emperor. He needs a steady stream of metal beast cores to help him perfect the combination of Brahma's combat body and Jinsha Demonic Body.
…
"The distance between us and Tiger Hill is less than half. I didn't expect that we traveled 600,000 miles in one month, which is much faster than expected!" Kinnara and the two chief officials said happily to each other. After gesticulating on the map, when they arrive at Tiger Hill, they can find the people in the Elder's Hall, take out what they have gained these days, and entrust them to refine weapons, armor, etc. for them.
"Maybe we can cover the entire distance in a month and a half! Haha!"
Kinnara couldn't hold back his smile.
"No, according to the current situation, it is unknown whether we can reach Tiger Hill within three months."
Enelu retorted loudly.
"Little girl, do you understand?" Kinnara's eyes widened, "We only walked six hundred thousand miles in one month, can't we finish the four hundred thousand miles in two months?"
"Yes." Qi Ying was also curious about why Anilu had such a view. "Could it be that we will encounter more troubles in the future?"
Enelu nodded and said: "That's right... In fact, I have been calculating. As we get closer to Tiger Hill, we encounter more and more metal beasts every day. People who have been fighting may not feel it, but I can Calculated, our speed is decreasing every day! A month ago, on our first day on the road, we walked less than 50,000 miles, but now, our speed has dropped to the point where we can hardly even finish 10,000 miles in a day. ! In the beginning, it was difficult for us to encounter an emperor-level metal beast, but now, sometimes we can encounter an emperor-level metal beast in one day! It takes a lot of effort to fight."
"When you said that, I felt it too." Qi Ying felt that what Anilu said made sense, "What's the reason for this?"
Enelu continued: "Because we are heading towards Tiger Hill, and the metal beasts from all directions are also approaching Tiger Hill! Our whereabouts along the way are not kept secret. Metal beasts also have their own social system, and they have The information network knows that if we go to Huqiu, there will definitely be a steady stream of metal beasts that want to attack us and eat the hunters. And, as time goes by, the number of metal beasts who know about this and want to take action will become more and more Many, so I estimate that we will encounter a large number of metal beasts every day in the next 400,000 miles. How much the speed will be reduced is still unknown."
"Well, this is a question worth considering. But..." Qi Ying smiled slightly, "The more metal beasts that come, the better it is, right? As long as there are no emperor-level metal beasts, other metal beasts will be the same." Send us cultivation resources!"
"Just kill as many as you come."
Sha's voice sounded coldly.
"Well, you're right."
Qi Ying looked at Sha. This guy was also full of mysteries. What he wanted was exactly the opposite of himself. Along the way, Sha was trying his best to get as many metal beast remains as possible, and he didn't know what to use them for.
Moreover, Sha will take out ordinary metal beast remains and exchange them with others for high-quality metal beast remains.
But no one has many high-level metal beast remains, and they will be gone after a few transactions.
Nowadays, it is difficult for Sha to exchange high-quality metal beast remains from others. He can only rely on killing the emperor metal beasts every day, obtaining them himself, and exchanging the emperor metal beast cores with Qi Ying for the remains of the emperor metal beasts.
"Those two swords seem to have some secrets!"
Qi Ying paid attention to the sword on Guo Sha's back.
There are not many opportunities for the two swords to be unsheathed, but every time they are unsheathed, they will kill metal beasts,
Qi Ying was certain that the sword on Sha's back did not come from the craftsmanship of a weapon refiner from the Kanazawa Continent, at least not from the current Kanazawa Continent's weapon refiner. The subtle inscriptions engraved on it gave Qi Ying an invisible heaviness. feel. You know, Qi Ying himself is a master of magic patterns, and it is difficult for the patterns attached to weapons to cause him to feel this way.
"Inherited relics? What kind of inherited relics were we standing before? Or is he just like me, the inherited relics he mentioned are just fictitious excuses?"
