“That’s right. In this world, going it alone won’t work. A team needs members from different elements to cooperate in order to maximize its combat power!” Xiang Yeyun also advised. As a support-type psionicist, she also valued her own safety. Without protection, she would be of no use at all.

Jiang Yuan frowned and looked at Ning Yanlan.

That's true. You might be able to defeat a level 5 monster by yourself, but that doesn't mean you can survive in a group of level 4 monsters. Teaming up is especially important.

"Well then, we have some things to take care of. Once we're done, we'll definitely choose you guys first when we want to join the team!" Ning Yanlan still offered a conservative solution.

Jiang Yuan agreed after hearing this.

"That works too!" Zhu Penghai's expression was somewhat unnatural, because this was already a tacit rejection, and the second time. He took out a slip of paper from his jacket pocket. "This is our base. If you're interested, you can find us here!"

Jiang Yuan took the note, glanced at it, and nodded. "Okay!"

"How will we divide the spoils?" Ning Yanlan pointed to the Holy Spirit Beast on the ground.

A moment of silence fell over the group, before Xiang Yeyun finally spoke up: "Qian Kai and I didn't contribute to this monster, so let's just leave it!"

After hearing this, Zhu Penghai said, "I was just trying to protect myself. After all, my attack didn't harm the Holy Spirit Beast, so I don't want it either!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan secretly regretted not hiding the crystal core, as it made him appear suspicious.

However, upon further reflection, Zhu Penghai and the others might not covet these spoils of war simply because the Holy Spirit Beast hadn't produced its core. If they had offered their own cores, the outcome would have been quite different.

After all, the saying "people die for wealth, birds die for food" is cruel, but it is a real phenomenon in this world.

“Then it’s ours!” Ning Yanlan said.

"Of course!" Zhu Penghai said magnanimously.

Whether it's a monster or a holy beast, the biggest benefit of killing them is the core and holy spirit stones. In the end, it's all about getting a core. If you don't get a core, then the value is reduced by more than half.

"We'll go collect supplies first, you guys be careful!" Zhu Penghai said, and then the three of them took the lead and entered the underground warehouse.

All of them were seriously injured and dared not stay in this dangerous place for long, so they only wanted to take the supplies and leave!

"Okay!" Jiang Yuan nodded, then helped Ning Yanlan to the Holy Spirit Beast's side and began digging for Holy Spirit Stones.

"Jiang Yuan, should we take this Holy Spirit Beast with us?" Ning Yanlan asked, looking at the Holy Spirit Beast's body.

"The Holy Spirit Beast still has more than half of its energy available for use, and I want to take it with me!" Jiang Yuan said.

Ning Yanlan sighed as she looked at the size of the Holy Spirit Beast, "But our storage rings aren't that big!"

The Holy Spirit Beast was far too large to be contained in an eight-cubic-meter storage ring, and her storage ring already contained many things.

"Here, take this!" Jiang Yuan took out the storage ring he had initially obtained.

"Ah!" Ning Yanlan looked at the ring in surprise, then pouted and said, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate to propose to me in this setting? There's no music and no flowers!"

"A storage ring!" Jiang Yuan's expression revealed a hint of helplessness. "If you think it's okay to use a storage ring for a marriage proposal, it just depends on whether you're satisfied with my dowry!"

"Not satisfied? But I can let you pay on credit!" Ning Yanlan actually knew, but she was just teasing Jiang Yuan on purpose.

"This one has a capacity of 27 cubic meters. You can use it for now!" Jiang Yuan explained, noting that the storage ring in this ring was much larger than the one Ning Yanlan was holding.

"I'm just using it for now!" Ning Yanlan looked unhappy, then said in a low voice, "But I still have to pay it back!"

Jiang Yuan: "..."

“Once I awaken my spiritual power, I might be able to open a storage ring, then you won’t have to return it to me!” Jiang Yuan said.

"When are you going to give me a nicer diamond ring?" Ning Yanlan glanced at Jiang Yuan while playing with the storage ring on her hand.

"I wanted to send something nice, but the core won't open! What can I do?" Jiang Yuan said innocently.

"Fool!" Ning Yanlan put away the Holy Spirit Beast after binding the storage ring to her. "There's still a lot of space. Should we continue to store those monsters?"

"Forget it, let's go in and pack more supplies. Right now, not many people have storage rings, so these supplies aren't that sought after. But once more people have storage rings, they'll definitely start eyeing these supplies!" Jiang Yuan said, offering his opinion.
