Chapter 59: The Four's Depression
"Hibernating bear was actually killed!" Li Yuncong stared with wide eyes at the hibernating bear's corpse on the ground.
At this time, the sleepy bear's palms were cut off and some of its meat was dug out, looking a bit terrifying. But for Wu Xiu, such scenes had already become familiar.
"This hibernating bear was killed by human beings and it should be not long ago." Cai Feiyun concluded after observing the surroundings.
Li Yuncong scowled even more at the mention, his face looking particularly unpleasant. This sleepy bear was something he had discovered himself. At that time, however, Li Yuncong was alone and didn't dare to take on the sleepy bear by himself, so he temporarily left. This time, with four people traveling together, Li Yuncong felt confident enough, but who would have thought that someone else would get there first?
"It seems that the essence of the stone has also been taken away." Xu Donglin walked up to the shattered stone.
The refined ore in the stone is one of their goals, and being able to cast high-quality or even top-grade ordinary weapons with this refined ore is also a treasure for them. That's why the four came here first, rather than going to guard another spiritual medicine-bearing Xuan beast elsewhere.
"Damn it." Li Yuncong finally couldn't help but curse out loud.
"Never mind, if we hadn't wasted some time on the way and arrived a day later, it wouldn't have been like this. All I can say is that the spirit vein in the stone has nothing to do with us." Mo Lan said.
After Qin Yong separated from the four, Cai Feiyun and Xu Donglin were thinking of coming here, but because something happened halfway, they were delayed for a day. It was this very day that they missed Qin Yong, who killed the sleepy bear and took away the stone spirit ore by coincidence.
If Li Yuncong knew, he would be even more depressed. He was the one who recognized the stone and understood what kind of stone it was that had the mineral in it, which is why he knew there was a mineral in the sleepy bear's place. And Qin Yong, actually only because the sleepy bear couldn't break this stone, did he get the idea to dig it open, and finally took away the material for the treasure they were expecting.
"Mo Lan is right," said Cai Fei Yun. "Since it's already a fact, there's no use regretting it now."
"Don't let me know who took it." Li Yuncong said with a huff, but only said so, able to knock down the sleepy bear, his strength was absolutely not simple, at least no worse than him.
"I see the situation here and it reminds me of Qin Yong's junior brother." Xu Donglin said after looking around.
At that moment, Cai Fei Yun and the other two were shocked. They took a look and indeed found it to be similar to Qin Yong's doing. Because apart from Xiong Xin, the small demon core of the sleepy bear might appear, the bear skin was also a treasure, which could be made into armor with extremely high defense capabilities. But now, some meat had been dug out, making them think of when Qin Yong only took away the double-tailed tiger's meat.
Moreover, there is a bonfire here, and it's because the bonfire still has residual heat that Cai Feiyun came to the conclusion that they hadn't left for long. And looking at the remnants next to the bonfire, one can tell that the bear paws were roasted and eaten directly here, just like when they first met Qin Yong.
"What a joke, Qin Yong is only at the seventh level of Qi Wu, even if he's a fighting genius, it's still uncertain whether he can handle an eighth-level demon beast. If he can escape with his life from a ninth-level demon beast, that would be considered not bad. This sleepy bear is a peak ninth-level demon beast and is about to become a top-tier demon beast of the Xuan class. If Qin Yong were to encounter it, wouldn't he just get slapped to death in one palm?" Li Yuncong said disdainfully.
Li Yuncong had always had a poor impression of Qin Yong, not only because his cultivation was too low to look up to, but also because Qin Yong's actual strength was stronger than his cultivation. He was a fighting genius. This made Li Yuncong, who had average combat power, very unhappy, especially since Xu Donglin still thought highly of Qin Yong. This made Li Yuncong, who secretly admired Xu Donglin, even more disgusted with Qin Yong.
If this sleepy bear was killed, and it was really done by Qin Yong, wouldn't that mean Qin Yong's strength has already reached the Xuanwu realm, and he is even braver than Li Yuncong? Li Yuncong had encountered the sleepy bear before, but in the end, he chose to leave without making a move. How could Qin Yong, alone and unaccompanied, dare to challenge the sleepy bear one-on-one and actually kill it with a single blow?
It's not just Li Yuncong, Cai Feiyun and Mo Lan also shook their heads slightly, indicating disapproval. Xu Donglin just smiled and said that she didn't believe Qin Yong was the one who did it, but rather found it interesting that someone else had a similar habit to Qin Yong.
At this time, Qin Yong, who was on his way, let out a sneeze and rubbed his nose with his right hand, thinking to himself if some beauty was thinking of him.
"Alright, let's clean up here. The Starlight Ore has been taken away and the best materials for the Slumbering Bear have also been removed, but there are still some good things left behind. Once we're done cleaning up, we'll head to the next location right away. We should be able to obtain that Spirit Medicine without it being any worse than obtaining the Starlight Ore." Cai Fei Yun said.
The four-person team, because Xu Donglin didn't have the idea of directing, was led by Cai Feiyun. At this time, Cai Feiyun said so, Li Yuncong had to go and deal with it in a depressed manner, Xu Donglin looked down on these things and didn't take action either. Mo Lan's strength was slightly inferior, the bear skin was also quite good for her, but as a woman, she didn't like this kind of skinning work, so she walked to Xu Donglin's side and didn't participate in the action.
Soon, Li Yuncong peeled off the skin of the sleepy bear, washed it slightly, and folded it up to bring along. The four set off again, heading to the next place, where there was a spiritual medicine that had reached the Xuan level and was about to mature. When they told Qin Yong earlier, recently there were Xuan beasts appearing in the outer circle, it was because of this reason. And there, there was indeed a third-level Xuan beast guarding, waiting for the spiritual medicine to mature before swallowing it down.
Third-level Xuan beast, for Cai Feiyun and Xu Donglin, is also a relatively troublesome opponent, but at this time they join forces, it won't be too much trouble. Following the road ahead, it turns out to be in the same direction as Qin Yong's departure, and when the four of them arrive at the place, even Xu Donglin is somewhat stunned, while Cai Feiyun, who has been calm all along, also pauses for a moment.
That third-level Xuan beast was a wild boar, named Sharp-toothed Wild Boar, with two huge fangs. It was an extremely powerful demon beast, and even if Cai Feiyun or Xu Donglin came alone, they would have to be careful in dealing with it, otherwise they might capsize in the gutter. But now, when they arrived here, they saw that the wild boar was dead, lying on the ground, with a layer of meat cut off from its back. As for the spiritual herb, there was no sign of it either.
Familiar scene, the four of them saw different meat qualities on the ground next to it. As they walked closer, wasn't that the flesh of a hibernating bear? At this time, the four of them didn't understand and were overtaken by the person who killed the hibernating bear. Suddenly, even Cai Feiyun and Xu Donglin felt somewhat depressed, wondering in their hearts what kind of person it was.
However, at this time, the four of them were not only depressed in their hearts, but also admired. The sharp-toothed wild boar was not something that the sleepy bear could compare to, it was a true mysterious beast, and it had been killed in such a short period of time, its strength was absolutely not just threefold of the Mysterious Martial Realm, and may have even exceeded fourfold of the Mysterious Martial Realm, it was a truly powerful expert.
