Before setting off, the captain allocated thirty low-grade energy stones to each hunting team member. Shao Chen had also seen Luo Bi’s poor marksmanship; her accuracy was too low, and she couldn’t even hit vital points. He didn’t want to share his energy stones with Luo Bi.

Just as Qin Cui was about to start extracting the calcite, she heard the two talking and stopped to walk over. If Shao Chen were to share his energy stones with Luo Bi, she would definitely stop him.

Qin Cui’s attitude was too obvious, and Luo Bi felt utterly confused. She didn’t look like someone who would casually ask for things from others! She gave a mocking laugh and said, “I have my own, I don’t need the team’s.”

Not needing the team’s was just what Qin Cui wanted. It wasn’t that she had a grudge against Luo Bi; it was simply that energy was limited, and they couldn’t afford to waste it.

“Give me the energy gun.” Shao Chen sighed in relief and extended his hand.

Luo Bi first handed the energy gun to Shao Chen, then took out an energy stone from her storage bracelet.

Shao Chen opened the energy valve on the energy gun and casually took the energy stone to install it in the energy slot. But soon he realized something was wrong—it was actually a high-grade energy stone?

He was surprised and took it out to examine it again. It was a high-grade, attribute-less energy stone. Although it wasn’t large, it was enough for the energy gun to be used tens of thousands of times. Installing a high-grade energy stone in an energy gun seemed a bit wasteful, but Shao Chen hesitated for a moment and still installed it. This was Luo Bi’s personal item, and the team couldn’t demand it.

Luo Bi watched carefully as Shao Chen finished the operation. Shao Chen returned the energy gun to her, “Got it?”

Luo Bi wasn’t sure, but Shao Chen didn’t have time to teach her. He turned to dig for calcite.

The crystal beasts here had been mostly dug out. Luo Bi didn’t continue to dig for calcite. With her energy gun and defensive array disk, she wasn’t afraid of being attacked. She wandered around alone and collected quite a few things.

When she had wandered enough, Luo Bi gradually approached the hunting team that was killing the crystal beasts. She found a relatively safe position and looked for opportunities to fire shots. She didn’t set high standards for herself; if one shot didn’t work, she would take two. If she couldn’t hit vital points, she would aim elsewhere. As long as she hit the target, it was fine. After all, she had plenty of energy and could afford to be patient.

Luo Bi had almost eliminated the nearby crystal beasts. She then activated her defensive array disk and started digging for calcite. Occasionally, she would fire a cold shot at any stragglers, until she had completely cleared the crystal beasts within a few dozen meters.

Later, Shao Chen and Qin Cui also came to collect the calcite from this area. By evening, Qin Yilang and the others had finally driven away the crystal beast horde. Looking around, the ground was littered with the bodies of crystal beasts, and the smell of blood was very strong.

“Hurry up and collect the calcite and leave this place. The smell of blood is too strong, and it’s easy to attract large exotic beasts at night.” Qin Yilang instructed the team to start collecting.

With many hands, the hunting team managed to extract all the calcite from the crystal beasts before nightfall.

Qin Yilang, familiar with the terrain, led the team to a nearby rocky high ground to rest. When they arrived, another hunting team had already set up tents on the high ground. Seeing Qin Yilang and his team, they were all acquaintances and greeted each other.

Qin Yilang’s hunting team had been killing crystal beasts since 9 AM and hadn’t even had time for lunch. Now, everyone was exhausted and hungry, and they found a place to catch their breath.

“Oh my God, I’m so tired.” Jiang Yixin stretched out on the rock, too lazy to move.

Qin Cui sat on the ground, quickly taking out a piece of bread and devouring it. She was almost starving.
