Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

"Damn, Captain is awesome!" Wan Shengjie flattered.

"Brother Ye is awesome!" Ah Long was also very excited.

"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile. Actually, they were careless. I can use hidden weapons!" Ye Chen waved his hand.

"By the way, did you find the inner core? If you did, give it to me, I want to take it home to feed my dog!" Ye Chen changed the subject and asked.

Everyone was speechless. What? Feeding dogs?

Inner alchemy sounds like a valuable item, why would you feed it to dogs? Isn't that a terrible waste?

"Not yet!" Second Uncle shook his head. "This snake's skin is too thick, and it's huge. We've only cut off a third of it, and we haven't found the so-called inner core yet!"

Ye Chen nodded: "Let's keep looking. Finding it is a bonus!"

While everyone was busy, Ye Chen took a X-ray vision pill.

He's an expert at finding things; with his X-ray vision activated, finding things is a piece of cake.

Ye Chen scanned the entire snake and finally found a stone on its belly.

I don't know if it's gallstones or an inner elixir.

It's shaped like a rock, and it's a size smaller than the inner core from the last auction.

If this snake has an inner core, then this stone is the only one that can provide it.

"Ah Long, take a look at that spot. It's obviously fatter there. Maybe it's protecting something important!" Ye Chen called out to Ah Long.

"Okay, Brother Ye!" Ah Long picked up the knife and got to work without saying a word.

A moment later, Ah Long actually dug out a bloodstained stone and was quite excited.

"Brother Ye, look at this, isn't it!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around.

"Wow, Captain, you're amazing! You found it with just a simple point!" Wan Shengjie exclaimed in amazement.

"Just point at me and I'll see. The captain is obviously hiding his true abilities!" Zhao Tianlong rolled his eyes at him.

"Captain, how did you figure that out?" Zhao Tianlong asked Ye Chen with a look of curiosity.

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "I was just pointing randomly, whether it's true or not is another matter!"

Ye Chen took the stone from A Long's hand and looked at it; the shape seemed somewhat similar.

He directly used the Qi Observation Technique, and the stone had a faint orange hue and internal energy fluctuations. If nothing unexpected happened, it was undoubtedly an inner core.

"Captain, let me see!" Zhao Tianlong stepped forward.

Ye Chen simply tossed the stone to him and told him to take his time to examine it.

He stared at it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out: "My dad once obtained an inner core, but it didn't look like this!!"

Zhou Changsheng also took a look at it for a while: "It seems that no two inner cores are exactly the same, so it's normal that they are different."

Next, almost everyone handled and played with it for a while, but none of them recognized its value.

It cannot be determined whether it is an inner elixir.

The inner elixir might not be very useful to humans, since it's impossible for a person to swallow such a disgusting thing.

However, it is indeed a nourishing delicacy for animals that have developed intelligence.

Dahuang is a typical example; a single inner core made it leap several times, equivalent to a long period of arduous cultivation.

And these are only the obvious benefits.

Ye Chen took the inner core, wrapped it in cloth, and put it away.

"Let's deal with it for now. I'll keep the spoils for now and keep searching. While we're at it, let's see if we can get some meat to eat; it's very nutritious!"

"The helicopter that's picking us up is almost here. There should be some people handling these things later, so it won't be so easy to get some later!"

Everyone agreed that this made sense, so they continued with their work.

However, after working for a while, there was no other gain. The only thing that resembled an inner core was the one in Ye Chen's hand.

In the end, all they could do was cut a few pieces of meat, wrap them up, and put them in their backpacks as spoils of war.

The roar of helicopters could be heard in the distance; the two helicopters that were there to pick them up had arrived.

The helicopter pilot was also quite shocked when he saw the dismembered snake carcass below.

They had never seen such a large snake before.

However, they were very professional and quickly found a suitable landing spot.

The group boarded the helicopter and took away the female prisoner. The bodies of the two male prisoners were simply hung in bags below.

Since it's crowded, just take the "spoils" back with you and don't worry about anything else.

Since it was possible to hoist it, Ye Chen hoisted a large piece of meat as well, not for any other reason than to go back and treat Chief Instructor Black Wolf to some soup...

When the helicopter flew back to their second camp, Black Wolf and his two companions were already waiting in the open space.

Black Wolf's heart skipped a beat when he saw the three blood-stained bags being hoisted up.

That shape was a person; the situation they least wanted to see still happened.

How could three people have been killed before the mission was even completed? What exactly happened?

Instructor Wang and Instructor Li exchanged a glance and saw the heaviness in each other's hearts.

What, what happened? What went wrong?

Ye Chen only mentioned his deductions during the phone call, without saying that there were any casualties.

Did something uncontrollable happen during this time?

When the helicopter landed and came to a stop, everyone jumped out of the cabin, their faces full of excitement.

Black Wolf, his face dark, was about to reprimand someone. How could someone be so frivolous about something as solemn as their comrade's sacrifice? What kind of talk was that?

However, when everyone came down, Black Wolf and the two instructors were stunned.

No, no, all 10 people are there?

Black Wolf blinked and counted carefully; there were indeed 10 people, not one missing.

The words he was about to swear at caught in his throat.

"Ye Chen, what's going on?" Black Wolf asked in a deep voice with a dark face.

Damn it, he worried for nothing! He thought something had happened! Didn't this kid know to report it?

"Reporting, Chief Instructor!" Ye Chen stepped forward and announced loudly, "Mission accomplished! Two enemies killed, one captured, and one mid-stage Qi Refining Serpent destroyed. No casualties on our side. Report complete!"

Ye Chen spoke simply, but every word struck the hearts of everyone present like a heavy hammer.

Holy crap, annihilating the enemy? Orochi?

Black Wolf was also quite shocked, and frowned as he asked, "What happened? Tell me in detail, how did we run into each other?"

Ye Chen then recounted what had happened to them, omitting some details.

Black Wolf was speechless for a long time after hearing this, and Instructor Wang and Instructor Li were also dumbfounded.

this......

You animals! You've captured a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator like this?

Although Ye Chen didn't mention the cultivation levels of the other two, they probably aren't too bad, right?

And that giant snake, which was over a meter in diameter and tens of meters long, was also dealt with?

There haven't been any casualties yet. You're new recruits, so you need to know your place. Being so outstanding makes the instructors look incompetent...

Ye Chen turned around and called out, "What the hell are you all standing there for? Bring the spoils up for the instructors to inspect! These are all battle merits!"

"It's the captain!" everyone shouted in unison, then grinned and started moving.

Black Wolf glanced at the crowd, then looked Ye Chen up and down, and sighed inwardly, thinking that some people were truly born with the ability to win people over.

These trainees probably respect Ye Chen more than they respect him, the head instructor.
