Chapter 212 - 212 The Core of the Second Level

212 The Core of the Second Level

“If you think it’s expensive, I think it’s cheap!” the leading Beastmaster sneered. “You’ll know if it’s worth the price or not by asking him.”

However, the person at the side remained silent.

“Are we going to the entrance to the third floor?” asked Bing Qingqing.

“It’s not the same. Forget it. You guys are a waste of time. Don’t follow us!”

Clearly annoyed by the questions, the leading Beastmaster pulled the person and strode away.

After the other Beastmasters left, Bing Qingqing was deep in thought, ‘A place that could make people spend a large sum of money was obviously extraordinary.’

However, Su Bai smiled.

“They may be bringing us to a good location, but whether it is worth a Gold-grade Beast-core is not certain.”

“What do you mean?”

“Take a look for yourself. Have we been to this place before?”

“Yes… I remember there are three forks ahead.”

Thinking of that, Bing Qingqing suddenly understood.

When they came to this passage, because there were three forks, they chose one of them to enter. In the end, they didn’t find anything and returned to the main passage.

Strictly speaking, there were still two forks that had yet to be explored.

Since there was nothing at one of the intersections, the two of them were obviously going to the other two passageways.

In addition, they had been fumbling around during this period of time.

It made the two of them understand that the labyrinth on the second floor was connected in all directions. It was easy to go back to where they had been.

“It’s a 50% chance. Let’s go.” said Su Bai.

Su Bai saw that it was almost time, so he immediately took Bing Qingqing forward.

A few minutes later, the two of them arrived at the fork in the road.

They bumped into a few Beastmasters coming from the left. They saw Su Bai and Bing Qingqing, but they didn’t act immediately.

“They are acting suspiciously. I wonder what they are up to?” Bing Qingqing said unhappily.

“Let’s go.” Su Bai chuckled.

Although these Beastmasters pretended as if nothing had happened, their gazes and attention were constantly on the entrance on the right.

As Su Bai and Bing Qingqing expected, the Beastmasters immediately looked depressed when Su Bai and Bing Qingqing entered the right entrance.

“Great, now there are two more hungry wolves.”

“Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and go over, or else all the good things will be gone!”

“That’s true. Let’s hurry up!”

Then, the Beastmasters caught up with Su Bai and Bing Qingqing in a hurry.

“Looks like I made the right choice! I want to see what these guys are up to,” Bing Qingqing said happily.

As he went deeper, Su Bai could feel the residual power of the battle energy through his spiritual energy.

After about ten minutes, the group passed through a long passage and arrived at a vast space. It was so vast, as if it was an otherworldly place.

A place that couldn’t see the end with one’s eyes.

“There’s actually such a place in the labyrinth ruins?!” Bing Qingqing was shocked.

There were mountains, forests, deserts, swamps. As if it was a micro world.

“This is the core of the labyrinth ruins. There’s nothing to be surprised about.” said the Beastmaster following behind with a smile. “Since you’re here, you have to abide by the rules here.”

“What rules?” Su Bai asked.

“Don’t spread the news.” The other party shrugged. “This kind of thing is an unwritten rule. If someone else finds out, don’t blame us for anything bad happening to you.”

“But if someone uses the core of the labyrinth ruins to earn Beast-cores… he will be expelled from here!”

“Understood.” Su Bai nodded and looked around.

There were already quite a number of Beastmasters hunting Beasts in groups.

Coincidentally, a few Beastmasters not far away had just finished their battle and were carefully extracting the Beast-cores.

That group of Beastmasters was very experienced, and their method of extracting Beast-cores was also very good.

But Su Bai was surprised that the energy contained in the extracted Beast-cores were extremely pure, filled with relatively pure fire elements!

“You have pretty good taste. You noticed it so quickly.” the Beastmaster in front of Su Bai sensed that and laughed loudly. “The rest is up to you to discover, young man.”

After saying that, the Beastmaster took a few big steps away to find a target and start hunting.

“Su Bai?” Bing Qingqing was still confused. As a fellow Beastmaster, she could also feel the abundance of energy here, but that was all. She couldn’t see the reason so many Beastmasters went crazy.

“The beasts here have Elemental Beast-cores in their bodies.”

“No way!”

The biggest difference between elemental and ordinary Beast-core was the difference in energy.

The energy of ordinary Beast-cores was relatively mixed, and it contained various elemental attributes. For example, a Bronze-grade Beast-core could be extracted into several elemental attributes through alchemy.

Therefore, the ordinary Beast-cores were regarded as a low grade. The high grade ones were mostly Elemental Beast-cores!

Elemental Beast-cores were typically obtained from Platinum-level Beasts. Because those Beasts had been cultivated, their energy had been refined to a certain level, and they were able to use their primary elemental energy more easily. As a result, the Beast-cores in its body would be pure as well.

The Beast-cores in the bodies of ice-type Beasts would turn into Ice Beast-cores, while fire-type Beasts would naturally be Fire Beast-cores.

At a glance, most of the Beasts were Upper-Silver level, and they could produce Elemental Beast-cores. It was enough to shatter a Beastmaster’s worldview!

It was no wonder that the Beastmasters in front were acting sneakily, not wanting others to know about this place.

According to the market price, a Gold-grade Elemental Beast-core could be exchanged for a hundred Gold-grade ordinary Beast-cores.

It was definitely a treasure that could allow one to become rich overnight!

“Do it!”

Su Bai summoned Bearen and had his eyes on a sneaky Beast.

AWOO!

Bearen charged forward without hesitation, and struck the sneak Beast down with lightning.

BEEP!

Bearen has killed an Upper-Silver level Earth Mouse and gained 850 experience points!

After the kill, Su Bai extracted the Beast-core smoothly with the Ice Dagger.

However, Bing Qingqing said, “It’s just an ordinary Beast-core.”

“It means that my luck isn’t very good.” Su Bai smiled helplessly.

It was obvious that the surrounding Beastmasters weren’t putting on an act for them to see.

Suddenly, a shout came from not far away. Su Bai and Bing Qingqing turned around and saw that it was the Beastmaster who had charged them a Gold-grade Beast-core for leading the way.

“Let me go, I’m innocent!”

“Innocent my *ss. If I see you again, off with your head!”

The man was grabbed by a strong gorilla, and his face was red from holding it in. He was chased out by the other Beastmasters.

“Serves him right.” Bing Qingqing covered her mouth and laughed.

The price of a Gold-grade Beast-core did not appear to be prohibitively expensive. That man did not participate in the hunt because he was too weak, and no team was willing to take him in. He couldn’t help but think negatively.

Su Bai was not interested at all because he had found a new target and started to act.

AWOO!

Bearen was extremely excited. After absorbing the massive amount of electricity from the Thunderstone, it looked exuberant.
