Chapter 384: Ten thousand durability
Ye Zhongming and Miya spent a whole day clearing these Needle Birds. This was also because they were evolved. It would take more than three days if an average person did this.
Although it was tiring, Ye Zhongming felt good. He gained 20 thousand demon crystals. After placing the few alive Needle Birds into the Demon Bee Raising Hive, the conversion time became 20 hours, half shorter.
In anticipation, He looked at the sleeping Needle Birds in the Demon Bee Raising Hive.
He had heard about beast pools before, but this was the first time he got one. He recalled legends of such equipment in his last life and felt like this would be one of his greatest help.
He kept it and led Miya towards the Barbarian Copper Demon Monster gathering area.
The beaks of the needle-birds were good materials. If he enchanted them to each piece of equipment, they could raise each to grey grade. But there were too many corpses. Apart from the few they collected initially, they didn’t have the energy to continue. Ultimately, they only took those high-level ones and tossed the rest.
They avoided the few demon monster groups attracted to the death energy here. The two arrived at the location half a day before the allocated time. But after they arrived, Ye Zhongming realized the atmosphere wasn’t good.
He asked Han Yihao and his wife and understood what was going on.
One of the tribes they wanted to merge with was the Mountain Bank Tribe, and the other was the Spirit Flash Tribe. The latter was slightly stronger. If they took one more step, they would become a medium-sized tribe.
Ah Tao and Grey Mountain informed the two tribes. Mountain Bank didn’t do much as they were too weak. So they didn’t reject or agree to the suggestion. They just agreed to watch the hunt.
Spirit Flash tribe was different. They relied on their strength, not only scoffing at their plan. They even suggested that they wanted to join the hunt and wanted 80% of the rewards!
This meant they would steal the spoils, letting Ah Tao and Grey Mountain tribes risk their lives.
When he arrived, Spirit Flash Tribe requested both tribes to provide them with the necessary food. Ah Tao and Grey Mountain swallowed their rage and agreed. After all, they were the ones that called Spirit Flash over, so it made sense that they gave them some food. Ah Tao even sent some food over to Mountain Bank.
Who knew that Spirit Flash would ask for more? They rejected the suggestion to sit down and talk and even occupied the camp they had set up. The reason was that they were tired from the travel and didn’t want to set up their tent.
Such actions made Grey Mountain and Ah Tao’s tribe angry. Both sides even had a conflict. But Ah Tao and Grey Mountain suppressed them to prevent a conflict. Naturally, the atmosphere of the camp wouldn’t be good.
Ye Zhongming only smiled when he learned about all of this.
Ah Tao and Grey Mountain heaved a sigh of relief when Ye Zhongming was back. Although they knew this young man was strong, the wilderness was dangerous. There were too many demon monsters. A high-level monster might appear, and accidents might occur. If anything happened to Ye Zhongming, their bet would have failed. The kings of the imperial cities would smash them into a pulp.
Ah Tao asked Ye Zhongming about his cultivation of the Scorching Flame Technique and saw the red light on his fist. He was so shocked that he couldn’t close his mouth. Not only could this young man cultivate two techniques, but he reached the Body Penetration Realm in just 20 days.
He was not far away from enchanting weapons with the technique.
Only the two level-four hunting captains had reached the Scorching Weapon Realm. How did this kid use just a dozen days to reach what his people took a dozen years to arrive at? How long more would it take to get to the Scorching Weapon Realm? One hundred days or a thousand? Even if he took a thousand days, that is too terrifying. The two captains started cultivating when they were 300 days old; they had trained for five thousand days!
Ah Tao’s face turned red from excitement. His Ye was a savior sent by the gods.
“Barbarian Copper Demon Monster horde is here?”
What Ye Zhongming cared most about was the success of the hunt. These Demon Monsters provided enough food for 500 people for winter. This was a huge gain. He could feed more people with enough food, and the plan could push forward successfully.
“There are 200 more than we expected; it is a problem.”
Grey Mountain touched his beard and frowned. Two hundred didn’t seem like a huge number, but along with the thousand from before, there were 1400 of them. This exceeded the strength of the two tribes. No wonder Grey Mountain hesitated, and even Ah Tao was terrified.
But Miya was not worried at all. Ye alone could fight 20 thousand demon monsters. With hundreds of elite warriors helping, these 1400 weren’t much.
Ye Zhongming nodded, “Let’s begin.”
“Now?” Grey Mountain and Ah Tao were shocked. That was too quick; he just came back.
“You don’t need to prepare?” Jinke was the Grey Mountain tribe’s hunting captain. He felt like this young man treated this like a game.
“No need.”
Ye Zhongming stood and walked towards the tent entrance facing the Barbarian Copper Monsters. He pointed ahead, “Tell the warriors to block the spine of the mountain. Let me do the rest.”
The horn that signaled the start of the battle rang out.
Mountain Bank Tribe and Spirit Flash Tribe were shocked. They were fighting so quickly? They didn’t see them prepare any traps or weapons. They didn’t see them use any techniques. Were these people going to fight head-on?
Both tribes surged out and stood at good locations.
But what they saw wasn’t a war; it was just a weird young man. He walked to the front of the two tribes and pointed at the two tribe leaders, “Agree to the suggestion, and these are my welcome gifts to all of you.”
Mountain Bank leader wasn’t too old but experienced in how he did things. He heard the demon monsters about to charge and said, “If you can hunt these Barbarian Copper monsters peacefully, why won’t I agree?”
Ye Zhongming nodded, and he was satisfied with that reply.
“What about you?”
Spirit Flash Tribe’s leader was similar to Grey Mountain. He heard Ye Zhongming question him and laughed coldly, “Who are you? Do I know you?”
Ye Zhongming nodded and turned around.
The battle started. Ah Tao and Grey Mountain tribes’ warriors formed a defensive formation to block one direction. A ten-meter-tall stone giant appeared from the ground, attracting all their attention. It started to charge toward the Barbarian Copper Monster pack!
“Flower Magma Giant, 10000 durability. Last for 30 minutes!”
