Chapter 77: Chapter 77: An Easy Pickup

Meanwhile, Pan Xuechun was also walking through the area with several Mutants.

"The Antidote Medicine made by our family’s Master Alchemist is so much better than the one I bought at the barrier just now!"

Pan Xuechun couldn’t help but start complaining.

She had been a total sucker just now!

Seeing his young lady like this, Ye Ming sighed and shook his head. "Come now. As long as we can complete the mission, that’s all that matters."

The group continued on their way.

Suddenly, Ye Ming whipped his head around to look at the forest behind them and let out a low shout.

"Who’s there?!"

His single word startled everyone.

They immediately looked into the distance behind them.

There was no one there!

But!

The next moment!

Ye Yunyi was seen strolling out from behind a thick tree, his hands clasped behind his neck.

He wore a half-smiling, half-mocking expression.

There really was someone there!

’As expected of an Early-Diamond Stage powerhouse. He can sense someone from so far away.’

They looked at Ye Ming, their eyes filled with admiration for a true powerhouse.

Then, they all turned to Ye Yunyi, their eyes hostile.

’What’s this guy doing here?!’

Ye Yunyi, for his part, looked at the group before him, the corners of his mouth lifting into a smile.

’These guys are all on high alert?’

’If I hadn’t revealed myself on purpose, did this bunch of useless trash really think they could have found me?’

’What a joke!’

Meanwhile, Ye Ming glanced at Ye Yunyi, noting the Crystal Cores he had picked up.

He instantly understood what Ye Yunyi was doing here. He must have come for these freebie Crystal Cores.

The next moment!

Ye Yunyi suddenly bent down!

WHOOSH!

His single movement instantly put Pan Xuechun and the others on guard.

’What’s this guy trying to do?!’

Then...

Ye Yunyi picked up an Early-Golden Stage Crystal Core from the ground at his feet.

He wiped the dirt off it.

And slipped it into his little pouch!

The group: "..." ’What the hell was that for? Trying to give us a heart attack?!’

’Isn’t it just an Early-Golden Stage Crystal Core?’

In an instant, they all made a judgment in their minds.

’This guy’s Level isn’t high.’

Pan Xuechun looked at Ye Ming. ’A Diamond Powerhouse like Uncle Ye wouldn’t even bother with a Crystal Core like that.’

’This guy can’t be that strong, but he wouldn’t have made it in here with no strength at all.’

’He’s probably just in the Golden Tier.’

’As for how he made it this far, he must have gotten his hands on some Antidote Medicine from somewhere!’

’That’s the only way he could have survived long enough to get here!’

"We don’t need to bother with him." Ye Ming had also made his judgment.

He classified Ye Yunyi as no threat.

Pan Xuechun heard Ye Ming’s words and shot Ye Yunyi a look.

’This guy!’

’Showing up out of nowhere and slowing us down!’

Still, there was no need to cause unnecessary trouble.

So, they ignored Ye Yunyi and continued deeper into the Poison Barrier.

HISS!

The next moment!

Several Iron Armor Scorpions suddenly charged out!

Each one was as big as a calf!

Their bodies were covered in Iron Armor!

Their pincers gleamed with a cold light!

As did their tails!

Except their stingers were tipped with a yellow venom!

One look was enough to tell it was highly toxic!

"Mid-Golden Stage poisonous creatures!"

A Golden Tier Mutant behind them exclaimed.

Everyone immediately went on high alert!

SHING!

With the sound of a Sharp Sword being unsheathed!

Ye Ming charged forward!

In a single clash!

One Iron Armor Scorpion was decapitated!

Seeing their kin killed, the other Iron Armor Scorpions were instantly enraged.

They shot toward Ye Ming!

"You’re courting death!"

Ye Ming’s figure flowed like water!

He appeared before an Iron Armor Scorpion and thrust his sword straight forward!

It pierced its eye!

SCREECH!

The Iron Armor Scorpion shrieked in pain!

Its tail then stabbed toward Ye Ming!

WHOOSH!

The sound of it cutting through the air!

Rang out fiercely!

Ye Ming dodged to the side!

Then, he whipped his Sharp Sword back!

A golden-colored Crystal Core shot into the distance!

THUD!

The dull sound of another corpse hitting the ground rang out!

Next!

Ye Ming shot out like a stream of light!

The last one or two Iron Armor Scorpions were quickly dispatched!

Pan Xuechun and the others watched from the side.

Their eyes were wide with disbelief at what they were seeing!

’So powerful!’

’So, this is the power of the Diamond Tier!’

In the distance!

Ye Yunyi also saw Ye Ming’s movements.

A smile touched his lips.

’Early-Diamond Stage!’

’About the same level as Zhao Kang!’

’He might not even be as good as Zhao Kang!’

’Too slow, and not enough power!’

As he was thinking this, he picked up the Mid-Golden Stage Exotic Beast Crystal Core that had been sent flying earlier.

This feeling of picking up ready-made loot was pretty great!

Ye Yunyi was slowly starting to like this feeling!

When Pan Xuechun saw Ye Yunyi pocket the Crystal Core, she was furious!

She was just about to say something when Ye Ming, surveying their surroundings, spoke up. "There are quite a few High Level poisonous creatures gathering here. It seems we’re getting closer to the center!"

"Let’s go, we need to pick up the pace. The Antitoxic Pills are on a timer, and we still have to get back out after we go deeper."

At Ye Ming’s command, everyone nodded.

It was true, the Antitoxic Pills had a time limit.

They immediately headed forward.

Meanwhile, seeing them leave in a hurry, Ye Yunyi quickly walked over to the few Iron Armor Scorpions that had just been slain.

He directly extracted their Crystal Cores. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

Then he took out their poison glands as well.

For these poisonous creatures, besides the Crystal Core, only the poison gland was particularly useful. The rest wasn’t worth much.

Just like that, he had several more Mid-Golden Stage Crystal Cores in his possession!

Pan Xuechun, who had already walked some distance away, turned back and saw what Ye Yunyi was doing.

The corner of her mouth twitched.

She stomped her foot unconsciously.

’That shameless guy!’

’We killed those Exotic Beasts!’

’We killed them!’

’And you’re just picking up the loot?!’

’Is that right?!’

’That’s not right!’

She couldn’t take it anymore and marched back toward Ye Yunyi.

"You, do you know where the center of this Poison Barrier is?!"

Pan Xuechun figured that since this guy took their things, he should naturally provide some information in return!

Hm?

Ye Yunyi looked at her. ’This girl is pretty, but she’s a bit too bossy. Whatever.’

’I love putting people with this kind of attitude in their place!’

He then gave her a look like he was looking at an idiot. "Can’t you tell I’m following you?"

"If I knew where it was, would I need to follow you?"

"Are you stupid?!"

Pan Xuechun: "..." ’Who are you calling stupid?!’

’Huh?!’

’You... you jerk!’

’You’re just some weakling who’s only good for picking up leftover Crystal Cores behind us!’

’And you dare to be so arrogant?!’

’I’m going to teach you a lesson today!’

"Miss!"

"This way should lead to the center."

Seeing Pan Xuechun and Ye Yunyi about to clash, Ye Ming frowned.

He looked at Ye Yunyi. ’If I wasn’t too lazy to cause extra trouble, this guy would be another soul claimed by my sword today!’

Sensing Ye Ming’s gaze,

Ye Yunyi met his eyes, then broke into a completely harmless-looking smile.
