"Mr. Slaim, as you can see, I wasn't exaggerating. This is our harvest over the past two days – thirteen in total!
Moreover, based on our assessment, there seem to be even more Faceless ones here!
Now, the difficulty of this mission has increased exponentially. Mr. Slaim, shouldn't your Adventurer's Guild raise the reward standard?"
Facing Ling Tian's inquiry, Ata Slaim fell into thought, but he quickly looked up.
"Mr. Ling Tian, I believe your judgment. Since the mission difficulty has increased, the rewards will naturally become more generous.
I can make this decision. I'll increase your rewards. What do you want?"
"I want you to raise your reward standards, and then, I want to buy some items. I will have Ms. Christina send you the item numbers!
I hope you can arrange for these items to be brought to your camp in advance. When we return, we can directly redeem points at your camp and exchange them for these spoils!"
Soon, Feng Xiaoxi sent the numbers of those spoils to Slaim. Ata Slaim looked at them and found that the value of these spoils was very high.
However, most of these rewards were crystal cores, specifically, energy crystal cores from spatial-type creatures.
Beasts or ability users with spatial abilities are extremely rare, and hunting these creatures is also very difficult. As the saying goes, rarity breeds value, so spatial energy crystal cores are very scarce even at the Hunter's Guild.
Under normal circumstances, Ling Tian and the others should have placed their orders and exchanged them with points before these energy crystal cores could be transferred here from the headquarters of the Hunter's Guild.
However, Ata Slaim thought about it. People like Ling Tian were not ordinary people. He couldn't afford to offend such people, and moreover, befriending someone like Ling Tian would only bring him benefits and no harm.
Furthermore, for every adventurer who completes a mission, the Adventurer's Guild camp that accepts and issues the mission will also receive corresponding rewards. The higher the mission difficulty, the more benefits the camp receives.
Therefore, Ata Slaim smiled even more brightly.
"Alright, Mr. Ling Tian, I will use my highest authority to transfer these rewards over as much as possible. You can come and collect them anytime after you complete the mission!"
"Thank you, Mr. Slaim. If possible, you can transfer more spatial energy crystal cores to your camp. Please rest assured, we will soon earn enough points to redeem these rewards!" Ling Tian said confidently.
"Mr. Ling Tian, may I be so bold as to ask what you intend to do with these spatial energy crystal cores?
Of course, I'm just curious. If you feel it infringes on your privacy, you are completely free not to answer."
Ata Slaim was indeed curious. Because the supply of spatial energy crystal cores was extremely limited, although many people had researched these spatial energy crystal cores, there were generally no significant results. Coupled with the very high price of spatial energy crystal cores, it resulted in very few people buying them.
"There's no harm in telling you. A friend of mine is a rare spatial-type ability user. He has a special cultivation technique to absorb the energy within these spatial energy crystal cores to strengthen his own abilities!"
"Spatial-type ability user!" Ata Slaim was immensely shocked. Even within the Ability User Guild, there were very few spatial-type ability users.
The laws of space and time were supreme. Ability users with these two abilities were all exceptionally powerful individuals.
As far as Ata Slaim knew, the few spatial-type ability users had astonishing abilities.
For example, using spatial abilities to nullify an opponent's long-range attacks, or creating a space for storage.
Of course, the ability to traverse between different dimensions using spatial abilities, like Ah Li and Ling Tian, or the dimensional slash that Ah Li unleashed, were unheard of even by Ata Slaim.
When Ata Slaim heard that Ling Tian and Aurora had such a friend, he immediately took it seriously, and his assessment of Ling Tian and Aurora increased by several notches.
"Alright, I understand, Mr. Ling Tian. Thank you for your candidness. I will do my best to help you collect spatial-attribute energy crystal cores!
I look forward to your greater achievements!"
After cutting off the communication, Ling Tian put the demon seeds into a jade box and then stored them in his spiritual realm.
"Alright, let's get to work!"
"Mr. Ling Tian, what are you planning to do?" Feng Xiaoxi asked curiously.
"Of course, it's to find out all those damned Faceless ones, and then kill them one by one!
And, try to find the source of those Faceless ones. These disgusting things definitely wouldn't appear out of thin air."
"Xiaoxi, you and Aurora stay in the vehicle. Ah Li and I will go!"
"Ling Tian, let me go too. I have special bullets now, and dealing with those Faceless ones won't be a problem."
Feng Xiaoxi was also a very strong-willed woman. Moreover, this time, she represented Misty Rain Pavilion as Ling Tian's guide. She felt that her performance as a guide was very inadequate, as all the work was done by Ling Tian and the others. She was truly just a spectator, as the saying goes.
Before Ling Tian could speak, Aurora spoke first.
"Xiaoxi, I have a premonition that the opponents Ling Tian and the others are about to face are extremely difficult to deal with. To put it bluntly, if the two of us go along, we might become a burden!
With Ling Tian and Ah Li's abilities, even if they can't win, they can still escape. But if we are there, it will hinder their actions!"
Feng Xiaoxi nodded dejectedly. There was nothing she could do; Aurora's reasoning was very strong and left her unable to refute it. Indeed, in front of Ling Tian, her and Aurora's performance was at the bottom.
Although Aurora was also very capable, Aurora's sustained combat ability still needed improvement.
Ling Tian opened the rear of the RV and pulled out two motorcycles. At this time, Ah Li had already changed her clothes. She wore a classic mountain camouflage pants, boots, and a brown leather jacket on her upper body. She also wore a pair of sunglasses and carried the Remington M870 in her hand, looking exactly like a mini-Terminator. However, the little girl's appearance was so cute that Feng Xiaoxi and Aurora couldn't help but take out their phones and take many pictures.
The two of them rode their motorcycles towards the foot of the distant mountain. Above their heads, an albatross and a sea eagle were constantly circling, feeding them real-time information about the surrounding situation.
