Sun Hao understood this time and nodded thoughtfully.
He stared intently at the crystal core, seemingly deep in thought, and then said:
"Then the energy of this crystal core must be extremely powerful."
“Indeed.” Ma Yuanbai took out the alien beast crystal core.
With a gentle flick of his wrist, he tossed it directly to Li Yu, who was walking towards him.
Li Yu caught the crystal core with lightning speed and examined it carefully.
The deep blue light flowed in his palm, pulsating as if it were alive.
"The crystal core is yours, and we'll split the rest equally," Ma Yuanbai said without looking up, deftly cutting up the beast meat with his hands.
“Give it to me? This…” Li Yu hesitated and looked at the others.
Because according to the rules that scavengers have always followed, the waste should usually be distributed equally.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Zhao Xiong chuckled, "If it weren't for your sudden move, we'd still be stuck there fighting it."
Surprisingly, none of them had any objection to Ma Yuanbai's decision.
After all, the beast was only successfully killed because of Li Yu's attack.
With their current strength, they have no way of breaking through the beast's powerful defenses.
Most importantly, they had already discussed with Ma Yuanbai before they came that they would follow Ma Yuanbai's arrangements in everything.
Ma Yuanbai had already met all the conditions they had set out for, which was why they were willing to come.
Therefore, all the gains along the way will be distributed according to Ma Yuanbai's wishes.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Li Yu no longer stood on ceremony and gladly accepted the crystal core.
He could sense that the energy within was astonishing, far surpassing that of ordinary beast cores.
"Come on, let's heal our wounds first," Ma Yuanbai said, gesturing for everyone to sit down.
As everyone calmed down, the adrenaline surge from the battle gradually subsided.
Exhaustion washed over me instantly, and minor injuries that I hadn't noticed during the fight became much more apparent.
"Sister-in-law, please take a look at my ears." Sun Hao was the first to cover his ears, looking very uncomfortable.
The woman next to Ma Yuanbai blushed slightly, stole a glance at Ma Yuanbai, and then whispered her rebuttal:
"Don't talk nonsense."
Although she really wanted to confirm this identity, in her eyes, Ma Yuanbai was so outstanding that she was not good enough for him.
Ma Yuanbai didn't refute Sun Hao's words. In any case, no matter how he explained it, in other people's eyes, Xu Jing was his woman.
Zhao Xiong rubbed his shoulder, wincing in pain, "You call this a bruise? I feel like I'm falling apart."
He was just rammed away by the beast, so his injuries are definitely more serious.
"How about... you treat me first, I'm dying..." the Rock Awakener next to him suddenly interjected, his voice extremely weak.
He is now completely collapsed on the ground and cannot even sit up.
Moreover, he was the one closest to the alien beast, and the impact he suffered was the greatest of all.
Not only were his ears nearly deafened, but he was also almost trampled to death by the strange beast.
When it came to the most crucial stage of treatment, some people even wanted to compete with him in terms of misery.
Xu Jing could also see that the rock awakener's injuries were the most severe, so she quickly stepped forward to treat him.
Xu Jing walked to the side of the Rock Awakener and stretched out her hands.
The supernatural power flowed out like a gentle stream, and the wounds on the Rock Awakener's skin began to heal at an astonishing speed visible to the naked eye.
The Rock Awakener's previously pained expression gradually improved, and his pale face slowly regained its color.
“Thank you…” the Rock Awakener said softly.
Xu Jing nodded slightly in acknowledgment, then turned around to treat Zhao Xiong and the others in turn.
The sonic attack just now did cause considerable area damage.
Apart from Li Yu and Fu Xiyao, who were some distance away, the other people present all had injuries to their ears to varying degrees.
After Xu Jing's treatment, everyone rested for a while, and the persistent tinnitus in their ears was slightly relieved.
"That was close! I thought I was going to go deaf."
Zhao Xiong breathed a sigh of relief, stretched his now-recovered shoulder, and spoke with a touch of emotion, his spirits much improved.
"Deaf? I thought I was going to die." After treatment, the Rock Awakener finally recovered and slowly sat up.
Ma Yuanbai then sat down next to Li Yu and chatted with her during the break.
"I really envy you," Ma Yuanbai said slowly, his expression indifferent.
"What do you mean?" Li Yu asked, somewhat puzzled.
"As you can see, Xu Jing and I were both very fortunate to awaken our superpowers." Ma Yuanbai glanced at Xu Jing, who was resting to the side.
"Unfortunately, we all awakened support-type abilities."
"This can't really be considered unfortunate," Li Yu thought, feeling that it was already good enough as long as she could awaken her superpower.
Ma Yuanbai shook his head, a hint of self-mockery in his voice:
"An awakened one without combat power is nothing more than someone else's slave."
"slave?"
Li Yu fell silent immediately after hearing this. Although the statement was somewhat exaggerated, upon closer examination, Ma Yuanbai's words did make some sense.
Ma Yuanbai continued, somewhat dejectedly:
"This is only in the Xirong Mountain area, and I can already clearly feel the weakness of my auxiliary abilities."
Ma Yuanbai continued speaking to himself, "Even when we encountered strange beasts before, we could only run away."
"It's like finding a treasure chest full of treasures, but not having the key to open it."
Ma Yuanbai suddenly turned to look at Li Yu, his expression somewhat forlorn.
"If I go any further east... I don't even know if I'll make it to my destination alive."
Li Yu remained silent, knowing Ma Yuanbai's concerns.
Although Ma Yuanbai didn't say it directly, Li Yu still understood what Ma Yuanbai meant.
Ma Yuanbai had always wanted to team up with him.
Li Yu pondered for a moment, but ultimately did not agree.
It's not just because he's used to fewer people.
More importantly, Li Yu understands the responsibilities she must bear as a member of the team.
Of course, refusing to join a team wasn't directed at Ma Yuanbai, but rather because he's now used to being free and doesn't want to join any team.
"Feel sorry."
Although Li Yu understood Ma Yuanbai's implication, she still spoke softly.
"It's nothing..." Ma Yuanbai gave a wry smile and didn't say anything more.
If his team had someone with a powerful offensive ability like Li Yu, his life would be a hundred times easier.
At this moment, Xu Jing had also finished resting and quietly walked to Ma Yuanbai's side:
"Everyone has recovered and can move on."
Ma Yuanbai nodded, composed himself, looked around, and said loudly:
"Alright, let's get ready to go. Our destination is the summit of Xirong Mountain."
Everyone got up and set off again, heading towards the top of Xirong Mountain.
Suddenly, a huge black shadow streaked across the sky.
