Xiong Yong activated his internal power, and a burst of azure light appeared, giving him an imposing aura.
Wild boars don't care whether you're strong or weak; they'll settle scores on the spot if they have a grudge, and they'll charge at you if they're unhappy.
The black-horned boar was the same; it couldn't tolerate Xiong Yong provoking it.
“vi”
With a groan, it crashed into the large shield held by Xiong Yong with a thud.
Xiong Yong remained motionless despite the sudden impact, while the black-horned boar twitched and then collapsed stiffly after only a few breaths.
"Forehead!"
Everyone was dumbfounded. You stupid pig, at least let us practice our fighting skills! How can you die from just one collision?
"How cruel!" Xiao Xin couldn't bear to look at this scene.
"Yes, it looks delicious! This wild boar meat tastes pretty good!" Jiang Yuan said with a smile.
Ning Yanlan: "..."
"Brother Jiang Yuan, what I meant was how cruel it was!" Xiao Xin immediately corrected.
Jiang Yuan smiled slightly. He actually knew, but how could he explain this to a child who still had a childlike heart?
“Xiao Xin, sometimes we have no choice. If we are not ruthless, the other party will be very ruthless to us. I brought you out here so that you would understand this!” Ning Yanlan comforted her.
The laws governing the appearance of the Holy Spirit Stone and the Core dictate that no one in this world can remain unaffected. To become stronger, one must join this arena and enter the cycle of life and death.
Xiao Xin nodded as if she understood, but she stopped covering her eyes and looked at the black-horned boar that had been killed by the attack.
"Whoa, this can even produce a core!" Qian Kai exclaimed.
Beside the wildly arrogant Tier 3 Black Horned Boar, a silvery-white light shone, revealing a Tier 3 Mithril Core.
The drop rate for Mithril Cores from regular monsters is incredibly low.
"A great start!" Zhu Penghai laughed heartily upon seeing this.
"I didn't even have my halo on!" Xiang Yeyun was also a little frustrated. She had originally wanted Xiong Yong to experience her power.
"Wenlin, the task of extracting the Holy Spirit Stones is entrusted to you!"
Zhu Penghai tossed out a dagger. "As for the spoils, we'll distribute them according to our contributions. The core is with me, and the Holy Spirit Stone is with Xu Lian!"
He had concerns because, according to his teammates, Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan did not belong to their team. If all the spoils were under their control, the other side would probably feel resentful. That's why he came up with the idea of having the spoils kept separately by both sides.
"Wasn't I supposed to protect two beautiful ladies?!" Yang Wenlin said with a bitter face, but still picked up the dagger to reach for the Holy Spirit Stone.
"Kid, the new recruit needs to learn a lot. Do you really think he needs your protection?" Zhu Penghai said with a laugh.
"I think I'm very strong!" Yang Wenlin took out a Holy Spirit Stone stained with blood.
"You can't even break through Xu Lian's shield, what are you so tough about!" Qian Kai walked over, hooked his arm around Yang Wenlin's shoulder, and laughed, "You should focus on learning how to kill monsters, don't try to mess with her. Watch out, Jiang Yuan might kick you!"
Ning Yanlan smiled when she heard this, and Jiang Yuan shrugged as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Then the captain should try harder to find more female teammates, so that our Gale Squad can at least have a gender balance!" Yang Wenlin walked back and handed a Holy Spirit Stone to Ning Yanlan.
"You wish! Our team doesn't even have a fifth-tier expert. Do you think a talented girl would like a team like ours?" Qian Kai said disdainfully.
"Everyone, work hard and strive to become fifth-tier evolvers within ten days!" Zhu Penghai quickly encouraged them.
"Fifth rank, that's thirty-two points of strength energy. I only have a little over three points of strength energy right now!" Yang Wenlin counted on his fingers. "Wow, that's ten times more!"
"Is it that difficult? If we can't reach the fifth level within the next ten days, then we'll be eliminated in the wave of evolution," Zhu Penghai countered.
Everyone fell silent. This statement was true; the difficulty increased from level one to level nine. In fact, the span from level one to level five combined was not as large as the span of the next level, level six.
"Keep moving forward! We're well-prepared today, so let's make sure we return with a full load!" Zhu Penghai's words were just to set a goal for the Gale Squad, since they didn't have any fourth-tier evolvers besides himself, which was a major weakness.
Over the next period of time, they encountered black-horned boars one after another, and the teamwork among them became more and more tacit. As long as there were no more than ten black-horned boars, they would not be able to break through Xiong Yong's shield.
Even with more than ten pigs, with the help of Zhu Penghai and Qian Kai, they were still able to keep the herd of black-horned pigs at bay.
Ning Yanlan unleashed a barrage of attacks, Xiang Yeyun buffed everyone with a resilient aura, while Yang Wenlin and Jiang Yuan finished off the remaining enemies.
The Gale Squad had no idea that the reason their gains were greater than ever before was thanks to Jiang Yuan's divine finishing move.
