Chapter 154
…
This tall and strong middle-aged man with a beard is the temporary captain of the five-member task force - Li Li.
This time they came to Chixing to take advantage of Chixing's "small cool season", the breeding period of sand beasts, to steal the sand beasts' eggs, a total of twenty eggs.
The five people were destined to meet at a task shop at the same time and take on the same task, so they decided to travel together so that they could take care of each other.
The Blazing Star's sand beasts lived in groups, while others fought alone. The five of them were all savvy people. The sand beasts that lived in groups were very powerful and were not something they could challenge.
So, these past few days, the five of them had been specifically targeting female sand beasts that appeared to be living alone, stealing the egg gods while they were out hunting. After ten days or so, they had stolen enough eggs for the quest line. Each person was assigned four eggs, for a total of twenty.
Originally they were supposed to go back to hand in the mission today, but they never expected to see a sand beast with its left hind leg bitten off on the eve of leaving.
It's all their fault because of their greed, which has led to this desperate situation.
This sand beast is the top-tier of the intermediate-level exotic beasts. While it's not as covered in treasures as the higher-level exotic beasts, it's still incredibly valuable. Its hide can be made into top-tier sun-protective clothing, sunshade equipment, and more. Its meat is yang-type, rich in fire and light elements, and is delicious. As a top-tier, rare food ingredient, sand beast meat is highly favored by those with fire and light attributes... Furthermore, its teeth are as sharp as a steel knife and can be polished into weapons. Grinding its teeth into powder makes it an indispensable casting ingredient for mecha weapons...
The value of a sand beast is equivalent to more than a year's worth of hard work for them all. So, when the five of them saw this lone and injured sand beast, greed suddenly surged in their hearts.
After some estimation, the five of them concluded that they were more than enough to deal with the seemingly severely injured sand beast. So, they simply arranged their strategy and began this miscalculated hunting operation.
Up to now, three companions have been swept by the sand beast's tail and fell to the ground unconscious. It seems that they are probably seriously injured. The only ones who are dealing with the sand beast here are Li Li and A Long, who have stronger talents.
But at this moment they are all at the end of their strength.
"Roar..." Another roar echoed through the sky.
"Puff..." Li Li was thrown out and then spat out a mouthful of blood. He failed and underestimated the strength of the sand beast. He was now exhausted and only a little of his natural strength remained.
Aaron was still struggling, and it looked like he would lose in a few minutes.
The actual situation was just as Li Li expected. Aaron had just reached adulthood. Although his natural ability was 3A, he did not have much combat experience. It was his first time fighting against a strange beast.
Faced with the sand beast that had completely fallen into a frenzy and kept summoning its companions, Aaron's attack had almost no effect.
In a short while, Aaron was completely defeated.
Looking at the strange beast coming towards it step by step, Aaron sat on the sand and moved his body backwards repeatedly.
The sand beast, a ferocious beast that loves to eat human flesh, slowly approached A-long's body with its head. Then, it suddenly opened its bloody mouth...
