And so, Lu Yuan and his family relied on these vultures, working tirelessly every day across the entire grassland.
With these vultures, they can obtain more than thirty skulls a day.
Thirty crystals a day, and in less than a week, Lu Yuan and his group had nearly one hundred and fifty crystals in their hands. Everyone's faces showed surprise at having so many crystals.
"How should we distribute so many? Everyone should have already consumed the crystals, right?"
Lu Yuan turned his head and looked at everyone, and they all nodded.
Everyone present ate, except for the family members in the canyon.
However, those who ate one or two did not experience any significant reaction.
Especially after eating the second one, there was actually no difference compared to the first one.
After some testing, Lu Yuan discovered that even if he consumed ten of these crystals, he wouldn't gain any new skills or any enhancements; the only improvement would be a slight increase in strength.
This is a bit of a waste for them, especially since they feel a pang of heartache seeing so many second-tier crystals being wasted.
Lu Yuan had a sudden inspiration; he thought of a way to sell these crystals.
They have now achieved the freedom to use second-tier crystals, but the people in the city are still eager for them. This is because Lu Yuan and his group are relatively small and have no way to consume these crystals or obtain more resources. This is where the advantage of having a large population comes into play.
Lu Yuan and Lu Yu put away the crystals, planning to go to the city when they had time to see if they could exchange them for other things, such as the forging tools they were currently using.
They either need everyday necessities, which they have none of and can only obtain from the city.
What they currently possess most are second-tier crystals, which are priceless to the people in the city, but are like a chicken rib to Lu Yuan and his group.
So when they got back and were lying in bed, Lu Yuan told Xiao Shan about it.
Xiao Shan's face also showed a hint of joy: "Great, we really need to go to the city. I feel like we've almost used up our daily necessities, so it's a good time to go to the city to resupply."
Last time we got a lot of money, and we've spent almost all of it. This time, let's go into the city and see if we can find anything new!
"Yes, that's right. I was just about to ask about the progress. Everyone except Qiqi has gained abilities, which is quite surprising. Qiqi has already eaten ten, so why hasn't she shown any reaction yet?"
Xiao Shan's face also showed a helpless expression: "Yes, who says it's not Qi Qi's matter that's driving me crazy? I don't know how to explain it to her. She always feels like she's lacking something compared to other children!"
"Oh, poor little guy, it's alright, let's wait and see. Maybe there will be a chance in the future. We can go and take a look next time we go back! It would be even better if the people in the city could solve this problem!"
Xiao Shan nodded, and the two chatted for a while before falling asleep.
The next morning, everyone set off as agreed to search for their prey on the grassland.
Lu Yuan now has a general understanding of the atmosphere of the entire grassland. Many prey have their own activity areas, so they can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble by avoiding these areas.
In particular, they now prefer to go to places where vultures live. After the vultures finish eating, they leave the skulls for them to take with them, taking what they need, so that nothing is wasted.
After a busy month, Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan returned to the canyon with a full load of prey.
When the grandparents and family saw them return, they excitedly came over and looked them up and down.
Lu Yuan showed them all sorts of spoils of war, and everyone's face lit up with joy.
"Great! With so many things, maybe we can become even stronger in the future!"
The old man smiled, his face full of wrinkles, but his eyes would sometimes well up with tears when he looked at Qiqi.
When they saw the bag full of crystals, everyone was stunned. But when they saw the colorful crystals, the old man's mouth broke into a wide grin.
Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly and explained how to deal with the second-tier crystals.
After listening, the old man looked up at Lu Yuan and asked, "Are you saying that these crystals are just disposable items, and once you've used one, the second one is useless?"
"Yes, the second one isn't very useful. I think it's time to look for Tier 3 crystals. But right now we don't know where the Tier 3 mutated beasts are or what abilities they have."
We haven't received any information yet. We're planning to go to the city in a few days after we get back to buy some supplies. Can you tell me what we're missing?
The old man and the old woman exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.
So the two of them made a list of everything they were missing during this period and handed it to Lu Yuan.
After reading it, Lu Yuan couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. Although they only had more than thirty people, their daily consumption was enormous.
After a short rest at home, Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan prepared to head to the city.
