Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 41 Variables
"Have it!"

A moment later, a white source crystal appeared in Ji Fuyou's hand.

The giant scorpion's physique is above 20, and its level is around level three, which is equivalent to a sub-high-level martial artist.

However, this does not mean that they necessarily contain source crystals.

The relationship between alien beasts and source crystals has not been fully understood by humankind to this day.

It's just a guess, but it's related to the beast's level and potential.

Only those with exceptional talent can condense source crystals.

Even if a level-three beast possesses source crystals, they are primarily composed of white source crystals.

Only when a beast reaches level four will there be a chance of obtaining a blue source crystal.

When you reach level five, 90% of the source crystals produced by the alien beast will be blue.

"1050 million, tax-free."

Ji Fuyou looked at the small white polygonal crystal in his hand.

This little gadget can sell for more money than many people could earn in a lifetime of work.

However, considering the dangers of hunting exotic beasts...

"Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting work, let's continue!"

He resolutely chose to absorb the crystal.

Intense energy surged into the body.

Ji Fuyou, using a method that may or may not be reliable, from the official website of the Central Plains Spiritual Ability Association, stimulated his spirit and guided this energy to penetrate into his body.

Strengthen muscles and bones in a targeted manner by cultivating internal strength.

The combination of strength training methods and crystal heat flow can effectively enhance the degree of enhancement.

Although this claim has no scientific basis, Ji Fuyou is still willing to try it.

A few minutes later, the heat gradually dissipated.

Ji Fuyou quickly obtained the physique value through the precise control derived from his Spirit 15.

"11.4."

This white source crystal increased his physique by 0.4 points.

This number is much lower than the previous ones.

"As expected... as my physique grows stronger, the effect of the white source crystal becomes weaker and weaker."

It is expected that after 12 o'clock, the enhancement level of a white source crystal will drop to 0.1 to 0.2.

At that time, the cost of using white source crystals was no different from that of blue source crystals.

……

Ji Fuyou did not remove the venom sac from the giant scorpion.

The venom of ordinary giant scorpions is not necessarily much stronger than some specially made chemical drugs.

This is even under the condition that the effect of the chemical reaction is significantly reduced.

Otherwise, some laboratory-made products are far more effective than scorpion venom.

Relying on his familiarity with Huanglong Cave and the precognitive abilities of a spiritual being, he silently moved through the mist.

During this time, he encountered six giant scorpions.

However, these six giant scorpions were all inferior products, and none of them had generated source crystals. Ji Fuyou did not waste his energy and spirit on them.

The spiritual techniques of a spiritual being cannot be released indefinitely; they must be reserved.

Just as Ji Fuyou was about two hundred meters away from the giant scorpion that was nurturing the spiritual source crystal, another giant scorpion broke into Ji Fuyou's perception.

He was slightly taken aback when he saw the patterns on the giant scorpion.

"Giant Scorpion Number 4? What's it doing here?"

The giant scorpion should be located about 500 meters away from this area at this time.

But then he realized something.

"somebody is coming."

In the dream, he was all alone; the only variable was himself.

But in the real world...

The appearance of the mist will attract hunters from all over the world to hunt down strange beasts and obtain source crystals to strengthen themselves.

The change in the giant scorpion's position was clearly caused by a series of effects brought about by other people entering Huanglong Cave.

"We need to speed things up."

Ji Fuyou then visualized the Heavenly Emperor's Demon-Suppressing Diagram.

Once the giant scorpion was within the optimal ambush range, a Soul-Suppressing Incantation was cast to subdue its mind and consciousness. Immediately afterward, a burst of power erupted, and the sword fell with a swift motion.

In just a few seconds, the giant scorpion's massive body crashed to the ground.

The entire process was so smooth it was like flowing water.

After killing the giant scorpion, Ji Fuyou easily extracted the white source crystal from its body and quickly refined it.

While refining the scorpion, he also made his way to the No. 1 giant scorpion, whose value was second only to the mutated giant scorpion.

When he arrived at the location where Giant Scorpion No. 1 had "respawned," he couldn't find it. Instead, there were signs of a struggle on the ground.

This result made Ji Fuyou's heart sink.

It got snatched away.

At that moment, a shout came from not far away, piercing through the mist that also slightly blocked sound.

Ji Fuyou, whose spirit had been stimulated and who was maintaining a high level of mental alertness, sensed this.

Judging from the sound...

The battle is not over yet.

He immediately turned and headed straight for the battleground.

During this time, the heat from the second white source crystal also gradually dissipated.

"11.7, an increase of only 0.3, which is a decrease compared to the previous 0.4."

He said it to himself.

His footwork was quick.

As he rounded a corner, a command came from the mist.

"Finally lured them over, get the restraint net ready!"

"Jiang Ran, be careful of its mental intimidation!"

"Yan Feng, draw this monster's attention and make it turn its body to the right. I will launch a fatal attack from the left!"

A cool, clear voice continued to outline tactics.

The voice clearly belonged to a woman, and she sounded quite young.

Upon hearing their conversation, Ji Fuyou also sensed the movement of four figures, located within a range of forty to fifty meters from him.

Clearly, this is a 4-person team!
Hunter teams typically consist of 3 to 6 people, and coordinated operations are the norm when facing powerful alien beasts.

Lone wolves like Ji Fuyou are extremely rare.

After all, besides the strange beasts, what's truly terrifying in the mist is the unknown that no one can reach.

No one knows how many strange beasts will be inside after a fog appears, or whether one might suddenly stumble into a beast's lair while venturing deeper into the fog.

"Among these four... there doesn't seem to be any advanced-level mental ability users?"

Ji Fuyou sensed it for a moment, then frowned slightly.

Despite lacking advanced mental abilities, they were confident enough to hunt down Giant Scorpion Number 1...

Of these four, at least two, or even three, are advanced-level martial artists.

A sub-advanced martial artist with at least 15 points in physique is not afraid of Ji Fuyou in a one-on-one fight, but can handle two or even three opponents...

After a moment's hesitation, Ji Fuyou turned to leave.

But at that moment, he seemed to sense something, and his head suddenly turned in another direction.

someone!

He discovered that there was another group of people lurking outside the venue, waiting for their chance to strike.

While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits?

Ji Fuyou's thoughts shifted, but in the end he still chose to leave this area.

Pang Hu is a treacherous person; he will not show mercy.

But that doesn't mean he has to become that kind of person.

At that moment, Ji Fuyou turned and left, quietly heading towards the direction where Giant Scorpion No. 3 was located.

Less than 200 meters away, he encountered three giant scorpions passing by in a hurry.

Since these three giant scorpions were none of those familiar to Ji Fuyoubiao, he did not reveal himself but hid to the side. After the three giant scorpions had gone far away, he continued to head towards the location of giant scorpion number 3.

However, after he arrived at the location of Giant Scorpion No. 3, he searched around but did not find Giant Scorpion No. 3. Instead, he found many traces of battle between humans and giant scorpions on the ground.

This included a corpse.

It seems that someone else has already gotten there first.

"After hunting down the most valuable mutated beast, the choice of the second beast will have to consider not only distance but also value. Otherwise, as news of the fog spreads, hunting teams from nearby areas could arrive within an hour or two, becoming a variable and disrupting my familiarity with the dream."

Ji Fuyou learned from his mistakes.

He didn't plan to stay in Huanglong Cave any longer.

Of the dozens of giant scorpions, the few that were valuable were either hunted by him or hunted by others.

Wandering around the area further would be risky and not worth the potential gains.

He immediately set off back, intending to bring the corpse of the mutated giant scorpion out of Huanglong Cave.

The beast's corpse was worth over a million, so he certainly couldn't give it up easily!
But when he finally got back to the mutated giant scorpion's corpse, he had to consider a question.

"This thing must weigh at least ten tons, right? How am I supposed to bring it out of a cave thousands of meters deep?"

Ji Fuyou frowned.

Just then, he keenly sensed something and his gaze instantly fell behind a stalactite pillar.

"who!?"
