On the tallest building in the West Gate area, a man and a woman sat on the very edge, overlooking the devastated ruins of the city.
"How many ninth-tier spirit beasts have you dealt with?" Liu Zhaodi leaned closer to peek at the map in Jiang Yuan's hand.
"This shouldn't be happening! This is the data compiled yesterday, why is there such a big discrepancy!"
Jiang Yuan held his breath and recalled the ninth-tier monster he had just killed. Each time he recalled it, he would draw an X on a certain name on the map until he had crossed out most of the marked points on the map.
Suddenly, Jiang Yuan noticed something suspicious. He took the initiative to show the map to Liu Zhaodi and asked, "Zhaodi, think about it, were all the spirit beasts we killed along the way native to Earth?"
"Hiss!" Liu Zhaodi thought for a while, then nodded in astonishment: "That's right, all the spirit beasts we killed were native Earth spirit beasts that had been awakened!"
“But there are alien races on the map!” Jiang Yuan pointed to a spot. “For example, here, the location Qing gave us is marked as a Holy Spirit Beast Black Wolf Demon! And here, this is a Barbarian Bronze Armored Half-Beast!”
“We’ve been to all these locations, but what about these foreign spirit beasts?”
Liu Zhaodi said thoughtfully, "Could it be that the spirit beasts from other races retreated first?"
"Do you know why the beast tide besieged Nancheng?" Jiang Yuan looked into the distance, where the two reserve teams were in sight.
“Because Nancheng is the only safe zone in the province, the beast tide will attack somewhere else if it doesn’t attack here!” Liu Zhaodi said matter-of-factly.
"Then who do you think controls them?" Jiang Yuan asked. He had discovered this problem when he first went to the Holy Spirit Pavilion. It seemed that all living beings had an innate control over the spirit beasts.
"This..." Liu Zhaodi couldn't answer for a moment.
“There are two reasons why the alien beasts disappeared. First, the people who control them came and concentrated all the alien beasts in a certain location in the West Gate area. Second, they are making a strategic retreat and then changing their direction of attack!” Jiang Yuan looked at Liu Zhaodi.
"you mean?"
“Let’s go and meet them!” Jiang Yuan’s gaze was profound.
"Is it just the two of us?" Liu Zhaodi pointed between the two of them.
Hearing Liu Zhaodi's uncertain words, Jiang Yuan frowned and said, "Are you going? If you are, we'll split the spoils 30/70!"
"You stingy guy! I've been through thick and thin with you, and you only want to split it 30/70 with me?" Liu Zhaodi was immediately unhappy when she heard the number.
"A 30/70 split is more than enough. I not only have to cover your shipping costs, but I also have to protect you. I'm the one who contributed the most to fighting monsters!" Jiang Yuan said without any politeness.
"You're treating me like an outsider!" Liu Zhaodi shrank back, shaking her head like a rattle-drum, this time she was determined not to agree.
Jiang Yuan thought that Liu Zhaodi was at least a ninth-level cultivator and had good talent, so she could be of great help. Therefore, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then tell me, how much do you want!"
"First, you can't be too cold; otherwise, I'll be working with negative emotions, which will affect my efficiency. Second, from now on, you can't treat me like an outsider; you have to treat me like an insider so I can wholeheartedly cooperate with you. Finally, I'll be 3.1, and you'll be 6.9!"
After Liu Zhaodi finished speaking firmly, she glanced guiltily at Jiang Yuan and asked, "Um, do you think this is okay?"
"Miss, are you out of your mind? Is there any difference between this 3:7 split and the 3.16.9 you mentioned?" Jiang Yuan had the urge to push this idiot downstairs.
"This is a matter of principle! This means you've backed down, it's not just a simple matter of dividing the spoils," Liu Zhaodi said coquettishly.
"Fine, you decide!" Jiang Yuan was speechless, but considering that he really couldn't do without this idiot on this trip, he still compromised.
"No, we have to sign a contract!" Liu Zhaodi sat up, then searched through her pockets, finally pulling out a special piece of brown paper. "To prevent you from going back on your word, I have to sign a contract with you!"
"Big sister, can you please stop making such a big deal out of nothing?!" Jiang Yuan was about to lose his temper.
"A matter of principle, a matter of principle!"
Liu Zhaodi wrote and drew in a very professional manner, and finally bit her finger, dripping blood and leaving her fingerprints.
"You stingy little thing, it's your turn!" Liu Zhaodi pushed the kraft paper to Jiang Yuan and instructed him, "I just added all three conditions I mentioned. Once you sign, you can't bully me anymore!"
Jiang Yuan glanced at the paper and saw that the contents were exactly the same as what Liu Zhaodi had said before. Without thinking much about it, he followed Liu Zhaodi's example and dripped blood to leave his fingerprint.
"You're so meticulous, is this alright?" Jiang Yuan waved the kraft paper in front of Liu Zhaodi.
"Alright, I'm yours now!" Liu Zhaodi happily accepted the kraft paper, and even gave him a cooperative hug.
"No, you're just my partner. Don't be too forward, or I'll kick you out!" Jiang Yuan quickly grabbed Liu Zhaodi's face as she leaned in.
Liu Zhaodi was not discouraged, but just smiled foolishly and said, "Tell me, how did I, Liu Zhaodi, manage to be both smart and beautiful!"
“A liar will never admit he’s a liar, and a lunatic will never admit he’s a lunatic, and so on!” Jiang Yuan glanced at Liu Zhaodi provocatively.
Liu Zhaodi laughed even when teased; it's unclear what made her so happy.
"The second team has encountered another level nine monster!"
The conversation abruptly ended, and Jiang Yuan grabbed Liu Zhaodi and rushed towards the second team's location.
If there is any difference between the two teams, it is undoubtedly in terms of encountering ninth-tier spirit beasts. The probability of the first team encountering a ninth-tier spirit beast is one to three, which shows how unlucky the second team is.
...
"Boss, Zhu Zi has lost an arm!"
