After spending about 6 to 8 hours outside, Alex, Xu Meilin, Luo Zu, and the rest of the group returned back to the camp. By that time, the next group was already prepared and ready to go.
"How was your haul?" Lu Chen met the group outside and asked, to which Alex only silently grinned. She casually touched her storage ring and from within rained down several mutated beast corpses.
Seeing this everyone from the second group was immediately fired up.
Whatever little doubt and restlessness they had about going out and hunting was wiped away clean, now replaced with eagerness and determination.
They wanted to hunt even more beasts and zombies and become stronger than the first team.
"Not bad." Lu Chen smirked and patted her.
He was glad to see them all return safely. Some of the group members had injuries but nothing too bad and nothing that couldn't be treated with the help of Coco.
"Go meet the elder and get your wounds treated. Remember you guys have to hand over some cores for treatment too." He chuckled and waved everyone goodbye.
Since he mentioned healing, Xu Meilin quickly asked. "Bro Chen, did you see Coco anywhere? I haven't seen her in a while…" Her voice was tired as she had been fighting constantly for the past few hours.
"Hmmm. No, I haven't seen, but you should not worry. I think most probably little white and Coco are roaming around somewhere." His voice faded as the group quickly moved away, rushing into the forests.
"Ah…" Xu Meilin swallowed nervously. She trusted little white, but… seeing those two together always made her feel nervous.
One was just a small house cat while the other was a ferocious bloodthirsty wolf. How could those two possibly travel in the same circles?
Coincidentally… at this exact same time… Qin Hua was walking around in circles, while Coco was looking at her in confusion wondering what she was up to.
They, too, had been hunting so far, earning almost double what Alex and the first group had raked in, but suddenly they had stopped, with Qin Hua pumping the breaks first.
For the past few minutes, she had been walking around in this particular spot while sniffing about on the ground, every bush and tree trunk.
Meow?
[Ah! Shut up, Coco.] Qin Hua growled back. [Damn it, I can smell it clearly, and yet I am not able to find it. Woof!]
A very thick dense aroma of mana wafted out from somewhere close by but as if it was made invisible by magic, she wasn't able to get to it at all.
No matter how much she tried, it still only became a dead end and this was with Coco tied to her back.
Karaboom!
The flash of lightning descended on the ground with a vengeance and it was so mysteriously powerful that it even tore the air apart, revealing some sort of aberration.
It was like the lightning bolt had punched a hole in the air, opening up something.
