nAt midnight, Xiong Kai and Guo Hao each dragged a raging bull’s corpse back to the transport team’s encampment.

nChen Yiming was delayed by He Xuanlin for a while, and it took some time to loot the corpse. In the end, Wei Chaoyuan couldn’t wait for him.

n“Brother Yiming is back.”

n“Wow! You guys actually caught these two big

nguys.”

nSeveral team members in charge of keeping watch saw them return with the corpses of the bulls.

n“We were lucky to have captured these two raging bulls after squatting for an entire night,” Chen Yiming said with a smile.

nThe people from the transport team gathered around and looked at the corpses of the two raging bulls on the ground.

nOne of them was stabbed in the thigh and bled to death, while the other was stabbed in the heart. This was Chen Yiming’s additional attack, which concealed the traces of He Xuanlin killing the bull with his fists.

n“90% of the credit for killing these two bulls was given to Brother Yiming. Xiong Kai, Guo Hao, and I only contributed a little,” Wei Chaoyuan said directly.

nAs soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding team members widened their eyes in disbelief.

n“Look carefully at the horns of these two bulls. These are bulls that have undergone five transformations. Ordinary people can’t do anything to them,” Wei Chaoyuan continued.

nOne of the team members stepped forward to check.

n“The horns are completely brown in color. It’s true that they have undergone five transformations. Just these two pairs of horns alone have a high value.”

nThe horns were sharp and hard, and could be made into weapons.

n“I heard that raging bull meat is of the highest quality. I’ve never eaten fresh raging bull meat before. Why don’t we cut off a leg and roast it?” Chen Yiming suggested.

nThe raging bull was nearly three meters long, and one of its legs would be enough to feed everyone.

n“Brother Yiming is so generous.”

n“I’ll start a fire.”

n“I’ll find some sauce.”

nThe team members quickly agreed and the group quickly took action.

nSoon, a large bull leg was tied up with a wooden stick and placed on the fire for roasting

nFor the next two days, Chen Yiming, Wei Chaoyuan, Xiong Kai, and Guo Hao continued to hunt in the mountains. Wei Chaoyuan and Xiong Kai were responsible for blocking the beasts’ escape, and Chen Yiming was responsible for dealing the beasts a fatal blow.

nIn the past two days, he had hunted more than twice as many mutant beasts as the others. The other team members were full of admiration for him. Wang Jianyan sighed as he thought that it wouldn’t be long before he lost this powerful ally.

nAt the same time, with everyone’s hard work, they finally filled up the entire truck after two days.

nThe convoy was about to embark on the journey back to East Lake City. Chen Yiming wandered around Yongluo Town alone and relaxed his tense nerves.

nIn the Star Moon Bar, Chen Yiming ordered a bottle of beer and sat alone in the corner.

nAs he drank some of the liquor, he pricked up his ears to learn about what had happened in the Nuhe Mountain Range.

nAfter this trip, he planned to stop following the transport team and enter the wilderness alone. Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of the time to learn more about the situation.

n“Did you guys see that just now? A disciple from the Heavenly Crane Fist School went to look for the head of the White Rainbow Sect, but he was chased out with a broken leg.”

n“Is that so? This is Yongluo Town, not the Nuhe Mountain Range. If White Rainbow Sect’s leader Bai Hong dares to make a move so openly, won’t he be afraid that He Xuanlin will come after him?”

n“Haha, I heard He Xuanlin went missing. Everyone guessed that he might have died in some corner of the mountain range. Otherwise, why couldn’t they find him for two days?”

n“Are you sure? Did they find the body? He might be back soon.”

n“I don’t know if he’s dead or not, but I think since a disciple from the Heavenly Crane Fist School went to ask about it, something must have happened.”

n“I have something that I can’t figure out. Without He Xuanlin, why aren’t the disciples of the Heavenly Crane Fist School taking the chance to flee at night? The conflict between the White Rainbow Sect and the Heavenly Crane Fist School is no longer a secret in Nightwater City. Aren’t they afraid that they will get attacked in secret?”

n“Who knows? Anyway, I saw a female disciple from the Heavenly Crane Fist School go to question him, and then other disciples followed. After that, things developed to this

npoint.”

nChen Yiming listened intently and suddenly recalled the old man he had killed on the first night he came to Yongluo Town.

nIn the past two days, he had already learned from the other people in the transport team that they had disrupted the Heavenly Crane Fist School’s plans on the first day, angering them greatly.

nWhen he related this to the news that the head of the Heavenly Crane School had disappeared, he instantly understood the heart of the matter.

nThe An Teng Transportation Company had disrupted the Heavenly Crane Fist School’s plans. He Xuanlin had secretly launched a sneak attack on the An Teng Transportation Company when they had gone into the mountains to hunt. Coincidentally, his first target was Chen Yiming, and he had died in the forest without even causing a splash.

nIn order not to attract the attention of his teammates, Chen Yiming didn’t even have the time to dig a hole to bury the corpse.

nThe incident with the Heavenly Crane School passed quickly, and Chen Yiming didn’t continue to pay attention to it. The transport team successfully returned to East Lake City.

nAt the entrance of the Anteng Transportation Company, the dried mutant beast meat in the trucks was transported by the workers in small carts.

nThe mutant beasts that they hunted were quickly cut up that night and placed on a fire to be dried and preserved. Otherwise, it would not take long for the mutant beasts to rot in the trucks in such hot weather.

n“Based on your contributions to hunting the mutant beasts, you alone have achieved one-fifth of the team’s total value. The reward this time is estimated to be close to 100 million yuan. I’ll help you get 20 million yuan and transfer the money to your bank account later.” Wang Jianyan passed the detailed balance sheet to Chen Yiming.

n“We have fought together so many times. We are already comrades who have gone through thick and thin together, so I believe Boss Wang won’t trick me,” Chen Yiming replied. He had already calculated the amount of money he would get in his heart.

nThe transport team had a clear distribution criteria when it came to hunting and killing mutant beasts. Everyone tacitly followed the rules.

nWhen Chen Yiming’s team was hunting mutant beasts, they mainly relied on Chen Yiming, Wei Chaoyuan, and Xiong Kai. Other than helping to drag the corpses, Guo Hao was not of much use.

nTherefore, Chen Yiming and Wei Chaoyuan had taken 90% of the loot from hunting the mutant beasts, while Xiong Kai and Guo Hao took 80% and 20% of the remaining 10%. This was already a sign that they were taking very good care of Xiong Kai and Guo Hao.

nThis was especially true for Guo Hao. Anyone else would be able to do the manual labor of bringing the corpses back, so he naturally did not contribute much to the group.

n“Brother Chen, you’ve earned 20 million yuan this time. Isn’t it time to treat us to a meal?” Xiong Kai said brazenly.

nXiong Kai’s words immediately attracted the attention of all the team members in the convoy, and they all looked over.

n20 million yuan was not a small amount. After subtracting their cultivation expenses, most of the team members might not even be able to save up that much money in a year. This amount of money would also allow Chen Yiming to buy two sword techniques from the library of the Mantis Snake Sword School.

nThis was all due to his ability. Since Chen Yiming had the ability, he would naturally be able to earn money easily. The other team members didn’t have the ability to earn this money. If they wanted to earn money, not only would they have to take a greater risk, but they would also have to receive a smaller portion of the reward.

n“No problem. We’ll go tonight, straight to the most expensive bar in the city,” Chen Yiming replied.

n“Brother Chen is so generous.” The team members cheered.

nAs Chen Yiming became stronger, there was no need for him to spend thousands of yuan like he did when he first started cultivating. With his cultivation speed after upgrading to the Level-2 swordsmanship talent, there was no bottleneck in his progress. It was as easy as eating and drinking.

nPerhaps it would not be long before tens of millions or even a few hundred million yuan would be considered a small amount of money to him. He could earn it just by entering the Nuhe Mountain Range once.
