On a grassy plain at a certain location on the second level of Myriad Herbs Forest, Tang Lichuan and the other three were all hiding in the tall grass, holding their breath as they stared intently at a huge deer-shaped monster in front of them.

The beast had antlers on its head, but its four limbs were as fat as a pig's hoof, and its entire body was covered with pitch-black fur.

According to Niu Dali, this monster was called the Horned Beast. A mature horned beast's strength was comparable to a martial cultivator with the second level of Opening Spirit Stage, and some of the higher ranked beasts could even comprehend Mortal Level as an earth attribute martial skill.

Although the beast looked funny, its speed was surprisingly fast. martial cultivator who had not cultivated in the movement technique would find it quite troublesome to kill it.

Horned Beasts were usually herbivores and could be considered gentle. They wouldn't take the initiative to attack people or animals, but after being provoked and threatened with death, they could display extraordinary offensive capabilities.

The horned beast in front of him didn't seem to sense the danger lurking around as it slowly lowered its head to eat the grass.

Suddenly, a human figure jumped out of the dense grass on the left side of the beast. That person raised a broadsword and slashed it towards the horned beast. The huge wave of the blade actually split the grass into two!

The horned beast was startled, it cried out a cry, the movement of its seemingly foolish pig feet released a faint mud colored light aura, its heavy and heavy body unexpectedly became light, jumping to the side, perfectly dodging Niu Dali's blade qi attack.

This beast was truly worthy of its gentle nature. Once it was frightened, the first thing it would do was not to think about how to attack, and instead without looking in Niu Dali's direction, it started sprinting towards the opposite direction with its four pig legs.

"Attack!" Two figures rushed out from the path that the horned beasts were running on, one to the left and one to the right where they were separated by around 10 metres. It was Tang Lichuan and Shangguan Yang, the two of them had a large grass colored net hidden between them, the two of them grabbed onto a corner of the net and rushed towards the horned beasts!

Woo woo!

The horned beast ran extremely fast, but it was not nimble enough, facing the two who suddenly rushed out, it instinctively wanted to turn and flee, but its heavy and cumbersome body had become a burden. When its four limbs and legs moved in the direction of the horned beast, they were directly pulled by its own weight, and before Tang Lichuan and Tang Lichuan could bind it with his giant net, it fell down onto the grass.

Seeing that, Tang Lichuan and Luo Hua City Mistress quickly walked around the horned beast, and used the big net to wrap it tightly, forming a cocoon around it, causing the horned beast to completely stop struggling.

"Brother Niu, this horned beast still can't use the martial skill. Are we going to waste our time again?" Shangguan Yang wiped off his sweat. He had done this many times today for the Savage Beast to be caught in this encirclement, but he never got what he wanted every time. It made him irritable.

Not every Savage Beast had a beast core. Normally, Savage Beast who had comprehended their natural martial skill s were more likely to have a beast core than others. Although normal Savage Beast were also able to find beast cores, the probability of that happening was too low.

They had already killed more than ten Horned Beasts today, but they did not find a single beast core. In terms of hunting Savage Beast, this could already be considered extremely dark luck.

Niu Dali walked over quickly and did not answer Shangguan Yang's question. It was already the third day since they entered the second level of the Myriad Herbs Forest, and there were no less than fifty or sixty Savage Beast hunting today, but they were still missing a beast core to complete their mission. Since they had already killed dozens of horned beasts but did not discover any beast cores, he was very frustrated.

Originally, he had planned to come here to hunt horned beasts. However, because this beast was the most common beast on the second level of Myriad Herbs Forest, and also the most common type of Savage Beast, he did not expect that the rate of shipment of beast cores was so low that he could not even get a single beast core. This made him so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

This was also the first time Tang Lichuan had teamed up with a team to capture Savage Beast. He had truly learned a lot from Niu Dali's side, such as how to capture Savage Beast, the characteristics of these Savage Beast, as well as the materials from them that were helpful in the martial way.

This method was much easier and more efficient than a direct confrontation. The most important thing was to greatly reduce the risk of harm to them.

Niu Dali struck his palm at the trapped Savage Beast and the horned beast groaned. In the blink of an eye, it had completely lost the ability to resist.

Taking the chance while Niu Dali was inspecting the beast core, Tang Lichuan released the mysterious water droplet's perception to search the nearby spirit herbs.

Seeing this, an envious and jealous sense of bitterness rose up in Shangguan Yang's heart.

These past few days, Tang Lichuan had gained a lot, with just the first day, he had harvested over 500 spirit herbs, which made Shangguan Yang and the rest so shocked that their jaws almost fell to the ground.

The location of the Spirit Grass was extremely convenient for Tang Lichuan, he realised that the time of finding the Spirit Grass was much faster than them. Sometimes, when even Shangguan Yang and the rest were unable to sense the existence of the Spirit Grass, Tang Lichuan would immediately look for the Spirit Grass that was more than 100 metres away.

The second level of the Myriad Herbs Forest was indeed more productive than the first level. Tang Lichuan only felt that the surrounding were filled with spirit grasses, the concealing auras of the spirit herbs were much stronger than the ones of the first level, but he was still unable to escape from Tang Lichuan's senses. Very quickly, his Treasure Bag became heavy, if his goal was not to gather beast cores, Tang Lichuan would definitely loot this place thoroughly.

Other than jealousy, there was nothing else the five of them could do. Although they had formed a team, not everyone could recognize this.

After their introductions, Tang Lichuan found out that the five of them were all selected by Gan Lin. Among them, Shangguan Yang and Fang Xiaohe were acquainted with each other, while Niu Dali and Liao Ting, the girl with a lotus bag, entered the mission by herself.

Niu Dali was the strongest, was in charge of dealing with the strong Savage Beast and protecting this group of people, or should we say, the safety of the "quest items". Shangguan Yang, who was taught a lesson by Tang Lichuan, unexpectedly had a set of movement martial skill s that could deal with the nimble and nimble Savage Beast, while the remaining two women had abilities to sense the existence of Savage Beast s, and were also at the second level of Opening Spirit Stage, so they were able to join in.

However, the spoils of war would belong to each of them. Their goal in forming the team was to obtain the quest reward from Gan Lin after handing in the quest. Moreover, they wouldn't need to split the spoils of war with everyone while completing the quest alone.

From inspecting the Spirit Grasses to killing the Spirit Grasses, Tang Lichuan had done it all by himself. The others did not put in much effort, so Tang Lichuan did not have any reason to give them the Spirit Grasses.

Even though Tang Lichuan had collected over a thousand Spirit Grasses, he still did not have any plans to split them evenly. Facing the eager gazes of the others, Tang Lichuan remained calm, as though he did not see any of the begging eyes.

The mysterious water droplets in his body were still not enough to eat. These people had no energy and wanted to split the spiritual herbs. Was there a free lunch like this in this world?

Niu Dali received three hundred Spirit Grasses as compensation, but at the same time, he was also a little disappointed, because he had collected a lot of Tang Lichuan's Spirit Grasses, but he could not find a single Spirit Crystal. Today was the last day of their stay in the Myriad Herbs Forest, and the Spirit Crystal did not have any rewards, so even if he used Spirit Grasses to exchange for metal type Spirit Crystal, he would not be able to realize their wish.

"Got it!"

At this time, Niu Dali suddenly raised the bloodstained beast core excitedly and laughed: "We have finally obtained the last beast core, we can go back and report to Senior Brother Gan!"

Once they obtained what they needed for the mission, everyone, including Tang Lichuan, heaved a sigh of relief. Tang Lichuan also wanted to know what benefits the resplendent rain would bring him after completing the mission.

Niu Dali gasped for breath heavily, then used his big blade to cut off the useful ingredients on the horned beasts. Other than beast cores, there were also some ingredients on the Savage Beast that were useful to the martial cultivator, which could be sold in the marketplace, allowing them to share a considerable amount of wealth.

Liao Ting, who had not talked much along the way, suddenly pleaded: "Big Brother Niu, I know that there is a clear spring in the second level of Myriad Herbs Forest. It was said that when we meditate and cultivate, we can use some of it to slightly increase the speed at which we absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, why not we go and collect some?"
