14. I've said it so many times: weigh plants when you're working!
"Virtue!"
Ron gave Lu Gang a disgruntled look, then slightly raised his finger to pull out the throwing knife that had been shot into his mind. He then began to examine the three-headed monster in front of him.
Its fur is snow-white, without a single stray hair. The smallest one, excluding its tail, is three meters long.
The one that Lu Gang killed was four meters long.
As for the most threatening one, the one that Ron shot directly, it was an astonishing five meters tall.
Even though it was dead beyond any doubt, its size still gave people a strong sense of oppression.
"Silver Moon Wolf!"
Although Ron wasn't very strong, he was still a martial artist who had been around for many years and had some experience. He recognized him at a glance.
Moreover, the one that was slightly smaller had already reached the level of a high-level beast soldier.
That's only because of Lu Gang; otherwise, even with Ron's warning, if Wu Tong and Jiang Nian had encountered him in a one-on-one situation, they probably wouldn't have survived.
The two larger ones are definitely beast general-level monsters, with the last one even reaching the level of a high-level beast general.
In terms of strength, he is on par with Lu Gang, the strongest member of the team!
Jiang Nian: "As expected of City 003, this is only the outer suburbs, yet we've already encountered monsters of this level."
Hunting just one can be equivalent to what our team used to earn in a month.
Just as those people said, if you want to make big money, you have to come to a city like 003!
*Smack!*
Wu Tong, who had just come over, slapped Jiang Nian across the face in an annoyed manner, still feeling lingering fear.
"What are you dreaming about?"
It's only because Uncle Luo was there that we were able to take down these three beasts without shedding a drop of blood. If it had been before, we probably would have been severely maimed.
You little brat, aren't you afraid of making money but not being able to spend it?
To venture into City 003, one would need at least the strength of a warrior general.
To ensure one's safety, one would probably need to possess the strength of a war god!
Despite the complaints, unlike young people like Jiang Nian, Wu Tong's hands were truly quick.
To avoid attracting other monsters with the smell of blood, Wu Tong picked up his battle sword and began cleaning up the mess.
The most valuable material of the Silver Moon Wolf is naturally its teeth.
By mixing Kro alloys, high-level equipment can be forged.
In addition, because it has no stray hairs on its body and has excellent heat retention, its skin is also very popular among some noblewomen.
The Silver Moon Wolf, which was cut in two by Lu Gang and had its intestines spilling out, certainly lost much of its fur value. However, the two that Ron hunted down had exceptionally intact furs.
Pull open the abdomen, separate the membrane, and then use a clever, forceful shake.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Tong had already peeled off two perfect wolf pelts and stuffed them into the backpack he was carrying on his back.
Don't be fooled by the small size of the army green backpacks they're carrying; these things are made of special materials that are not only tough and wear-resistant but also have excellent ductility.
When fully unfolded, it could fit not only a few wolf pelts and a few pairs of teeth, but even an entire adult.
Not only that, after taking the valuables from the Silver Moon Wolf, he took out a dagger and with a simple dagger, cut off the Silver Moon Wolf's left ear.
This thing isn't worth much, but it can be exchanged for merit points, which can be used to upgrade one's privileges.
This can also be considered a reward from various forces to martial artists.
"Newcomer, did you see that clearly?"
As the logistics personnel of the Thunder Blade Squad, we are responsible for handling these trivial matters to ensure the strength of the main combat members.
It may look easy, but it's not that simple when you actually try it!
I'll only demonstrate this once. If there's any more prey, it'll be up to the two of you!
Wu Tong's words were addressed to Jiang Nian and Jiang Fang, and this was also a tacit rule of the martial arts team.
The main combat team members need to maintain physical agility to cope with the subsequent battles, so they cannot carry too many spoils of war.
They would only fill their backpacks when they were about to retreat.
Therefore, the initial backpacking work and the cleanup work naturally fell to the weakest member of the team.
Secondly, most of the team's gains come from the weaker members. If they encounter any danger, even without considering brotherhood, the stronger members will try their best to save them just to ensure their own gains.
What is Jianghu?
This is the world of martial arts!
Behind every seemingly insignificant rule lies the experience of those who have gone before.
After cleaning up, the Thunder Blade Squad didn't linger because of the smell of blood.
Ron used his telekinetic powers to clear a path, killing several more monsters along the way and stuffing the materials from their bodies into his backpack.
As noon approached, the scorching sun outside made it difficult to move around.
They found a safe house and had Lu Gang finish cleaning it up again. They also threw some monster droppings around the house to cover up the human presence.
The five people who stayed in the house also began to take turns resting.
A bite of compressed biscuit, paired with a sip of water—the taste wasn't great, but when they saw the bulging backpacks, everyone's face lit up with a smile.
The profits from City 003 far exceeded everyone's expectations!
Although everyone had anticipated making money when they first decided to come, they hadn't expected to make this much money.
Conservatively speaking, these spoils alone could fetch 50 million if sold to the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy.
If it were sold to the HR Alliance, the price could be even higher!
With an average profit of over ten million per operation, who wouldn't be happy?
Of course, despite the excitement, everyone remembered the greatest contributor to the project.
If it weren't for Ron holding the line and using his telekinesis to lead them in guerrilla warfare...
Let alone any harvest, given the monster density in City 003, the Thunder Blade Squad would probably be dead by now.
"No wonder all the powers around the world are trying to win over psychic masters. This thing is really something else. How should I put it..."
"It's like a martial arts practitioner fighting against a cultivator of immortality, right?"
"The carrying pole has fallen over and I don't even know what happened, yet you're still spouting nonsense!"
Jiang Nian: "Get lost! You think you're so cultured? When I get back this time, my cultivation will break through, and I'll make you carry my bag sooner or later!"
And I'll win back all those bottles of wine I had before, one by one!
Listening to Wu Tong and Jiang Nian's banter, the originally tense atmosphere was now relaxed.
Having two such lively characters in a high-pressure environment isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Even Jiang Fang's lips curled into a smile, making her look incredibly beautiful.
However, when Jiang Fang saw Ron holding binoculars, constantly gazing ahead with a serious expression, her heart couldn't help but tighten.
"Brother-in-law... no, husband, is there a problem?"
"I've told you so many times, you're weighing plants when you're working!"
"Yes, Vice Captain!"
It wasn't harsh; it was merely a reminder to Jiang Fang, which would be beneficial for her future development.
As for her question...
Unlike his gentle demeanor towards Jiang Fang, Ron's tone was unusually serious when discussing serious matters.
"Guys, something seems off!"
