The Scarlet Flame Tiger's corpse was carried out of the forest by the four hunters.

After all, with such a heavy weight, moving the whole thing back would be very troublesome.

Zhang Shixiong quickly said, "No trouble, no trouble, just four of us. It's still early, as long as we speed up, we can definitely get back to Nanyuan City by nightfall!"

After cutting the Scarlet Flame Tiger, how could it be as shocking as the entire spoils of war? What Zhang Shixiong wanted was to amaze everyone with a single brilliant feat!

No matter what, Nie Feng was a member of the hunting team, and he was the leader.

Of course, Zhang Shixiong did not dare to tell Nie Fangming about this. He still had to curry favor with Nie Feng.

"Old Dao …"

He waved his hand and called a hunter over. "Take out the Energy Core first."

The hunter called Lao Dao was the oldest one in the team. He was skinny, tanned, and had a weather-beaten look. He had always been silent in the hunting team and was not very proud of his group.

Hearing Zhang Shixiong's instructions, Lao Dao silently walked over and squatted down in front of the tiger's corpse. He stretched out his hand to pry open the Scarlet Flame Tiger's bloody mouth and fumbled around inside.

This made Nie Feng very curious. He watched every single move of LaoDao with rapt attention.

The reason why he followed the hunting team into the Wilderness was to familiarize himself with the local conditions and to prepare for his future hunt for energy cores. Hence, the more experience he had, the better.

Zhang Shixiong saw Nie Feng's curiosity and took the opportunity to explain, "Old Saber is the best hunter squad in the world. He specializes in splitting prey. Letting him dig out the Energy Nuclei is guaranteed to not cause the slightest damage!"

The Energy Core in a savage beast's body was condensed from the energy of stars that the savage beast had absorbed over a long period of time. It contained copious amounts of star power and was a very precious material with irreplaceable uses.

Energy cores were usually hidden deep within the heads or hearts of savage beasts. Only by chopping off their heads or shattering their hearts would a powerful savage beast be able to kill itself. This was precisely the reason why.

Furthermore, collecting energy cores from the corpses of savage beasts also required skills. If one didn't know how to act recklessly and recklessly, it was easy to cause damage to the energy cores, greatly reducing the value of the energy cores. This was especially true for low level savage beasts' energy cores.

Zhang Shixiong knew that Nie Feng valued the Energy Core greatly. Therefore, he begged Nie Feng to bring the tiger corpse back to the city. At the same time, he also had Lao Dao dig up the Energy Core to curry Nie Feng's favor.

Without a doubt, Old Saber was an experienced man. After rummaging around in the tiger's mouth for a moment, he decisively pulled out a sharp knife that he brought along with him. He drew a few lines in the Scarlet Flame Tiger's soft mouth, and a core stained with blood landed in his hand!

After wiping off the blood with his sleeve, Old Saber handed it to Nie Feng without hesitation. "Superior Grade."

Nie Feng accepted the core.

The size of this energy core was similar to that of a pigeon's egg, much larger than the one he got from the hoodlum earlier. With his naked eye, he could easily distinguish the difference between the two.

The grade of the energy core was exactly the same as that of the savage beast. The higher the grade, the better it was divided into the first to ninth grade, corresponding to the first to ninth grade of the savage beast. The grade of the energy core could only be condensed by the first grade of the savage beast.

However, there were also different grades of Energy Nuclei. They were of inferior quality, average quality, excellent quality, and perfect quality.

In fact, even the lowest level dire beasts' fully condensed energy cores were all of a common grade. Only those with incomplete bodies or with excessive loss of star power and damage caused during harvesting would be classified as of inferior grade.

And for the same grade energy cores, the prices varied greatly depending on the grade.

Of course he was envious, but no matter how brave he was, he wouldn't dare to have the idea of obtaining the core.

Nie Feng held the Energy Nucleus in his hand, feeling extremely satisfied.

He could completely feel the power contained within this Energy Core, which made the Eye of Chi You on his right palm move, releasing a strong devouring intent.

If it weren't for Nie Feng clenching his fists, the hunters would have already noticed his abnormal behavior.

Savage beasts and Star Warriors were no different. They were divided into five general attributes: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Thunder. In addition, there were two special attributes, Light and Darkness.

Most of the Wilderness Beasts and Star Warriors only had a single attribute. Only a few special existences had a double attribute. As for those who had more attributes, that was simply a legend.

The nature of a Star rank was determined by the quality of a .

This energy core should be enough for him to complete the most important step of the Invigorated Meridian Wheel!

Therefore, Nie Feng forcefully suppressed the swallowing desire of Chi You's Eye and prepared to return to the city to learn the related cultivation technique.

Without the cultivation technique, it would be a waste for him to absorb the star power from the Energy Core now.

"Very good …"

Nie Feng stored the Energy Nucleus into his dagger belt. He pointed to the tiger corpse on the ground and said to Lao Dao, "You can choose any material other than the tiger skin."

He never expected Nie Feng to be so generous.

Aside from the Energy Core and the Tiger Skin, there were also a lot of valuable materials on the Crimson Flame Tiger. If Nie Feng let him choose any one of them, it would be equivalent to an additional reward.

Zhang Shixiong didn't even dare to fart.

It was Nie Feng who killed the Scarlet Flame Tiger. He had complete control over it, and could give it to whoever he wanted.

Lao Dao hesitated for a moment before bowing, "Thank you, Sir!"

Nie Feng gave a faint smile and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go back to the Southern City!"
