“There is more!”
At this moment, Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness to send out two Treasure Snail Images at the same time.
One of the Treasure Snail Images flew to a cave in the valley down there.
The other Treasure Snail Image flew into the sea.
There was a bead that he thought might be a Challenger-level monster crystal bead in the sea.
And there were a few Gold-level monster crystal beads in that cave in the valley, too.
Even if he did not need those things, he could take them back to exchange with others for things he needed.
Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness to send the clone of the Tidal Treasure Snail out with that thought in mind.
He told it to go to the valley to collect the monster crystal beads of that big group of monsters that he had just killed, especially the monster crystal bead of the four-star Gold-level Ancient Turtle Serpent Beast.
When all this had been done, Ye Xuan focused his consciousness onto the Tidal Treasure Snail’s Real-Time Map.
Then, through the Real-Time Map, he found Miao Shuyao was approaching him standing on a spiritual crane about three miles away from him.
However, she was flying at low speed.
And she looked. She was stunned.
The unexpected activation of the Gold Hunting List by Ye Xuan seemed to have astounded her.
However.
Ye Xuan was not surprised at all that Miao Shuyao was coming to see him.
What he was surprised was that besides seeing Miao Shuyao through the Real-Time Map, he also saw a clam-like beast following Miao Shuyao in the sea a few miles after her.
At the same time, in the clam, which was slightly open but had no water in it, Ye Xuan also saw four Beast Tamers from the Silver Blood Clan.
And the Beast Tamer, who had the Wizard Incorporeal Crow that he had met earlier in the treasure trove, was one of the four Silver Blood Beast Tamers.
Of course.
Just like Miao Shuyao.
They also slowed down when they had been informed that Ye Xuan had activated the Gold Hunting List by killing the Ancient Turtle Serpent Beast.
In fact, they were even slower than Miao Shuyao.
Undoubtedly, they were also dumbfounded by Ye Xuan’s strength.
After all, he killed a Gold-level monster.
The four would not necessarily be able to defeat the weakest Gold-level monster, one with the least star and on the lowest level.
However, Ye Xuan killed a Gold-level monster alone.
“Alva, shall we go back? Maybe we should find more people to make a team of at least ten. Then we will come back here to kill Ye Xuan!”
“Or, we can go and find Primo. I wonder whether his Thunderous Mechanical Gear has achieved the Gold level. If it has, we can bring him here. We will absolutely be able to kill Ye Xuan with him here.”
At this moment, the four Beast Tamers from the Silver Blood Clan, including Alva, kind of chickened out.
“Let’s wait a little bit longer!”
Alva took a deep breath. He said, “I will try to make my beast memorize Ye Xuan’s voice first.”
“If we leave now and the female Cerulean parts with Ye Xuan later, it will be very difficult for us to locate him again.”
“Okay. But you should do it very fast. And we can’t stay too close to Ye Xuan. That is not safe, I’m afraid,” a Beast Tamer from the Silver Horn Clan said after a nod.
“Don’t worry about it. I know the right thing to do.”
Alva nodded.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
At the same time, on the weird island, the two Tidal Treasure Snails Ye Xuan had sent out to collect the crystal bead of the Gold-level monster in the cave and to plunder the battlefield came back one after the other very soon.
However, the Tidal Treasure Snail he had sent into the sea needed more time.
It had not reached the destination yet.
After all, that was about two hundred miles deep in the sea.
Even the Ancient Turtle Serpent Beast needed almost one minute to float up to the surface of the water.
The Tidal Treasure Snail was not strong enough to go and return quickly yet.
“Ye Xuan isn’t moving. It has been like that for some time. And he just killed a Gold-level beast. Could he be injured or something?”
At the same time, three miles away.
Miao Shuyao, who had been stunned by Ye Xuan’s unexpected activation of the Gold Hunting List, suddenly thought.
Then she stopped wasting her time. She hurried to maneuver the spiritual crane she was standing on to speed up. They flew to where Ye Xuan was at high speed.
“That woman picked up speed. Did she find we are following her?”
Behind her, Alva and the other three Beast Tamers from the Silver Blood Clan put on a serious face when they had seen Miao Shuyao speed up.
“That is quite unlikely. But maybe she saw Ye Xuan.”
Narrowing his eyes, Alva said, “Let’s go. We should pick up our speed, too. But don’t stay too close, of course. We have to make sure we are one mile and a half away from her.”
“Understood!”
The Silver Blood Beast Tamer maneuvering the clam-like beast nodded.
Then he picked up speed a little bit so that they would not lose track of Miao Shuyao.
“Ye Xuan.”
On the weird island, after Miao Shuyao’s acceleration.
She arrived at where Ye Xuan was on the back of the spiritual crane very soon.
“Ye Xuan, did you just kill a Gold-level monster?”
Ye Xuan seemed fine to her after she had landed. That made her relieved.
“Yep. That’s right.”
Ye Xuan nodded. Then he signed Miao Shuyao to look at the valley down there.
Following Ye Xuan’s sign, Miao Shuyao looked at the valley.
Then she saw more than one hundred dead bodies on the ground.
“That is…”
Among the dead bodies, the giant dead Ancient Turtle Serpent Beast lying on the muddy ground of the valley drew her attention immediately. Its corpse covered an area of about thirty-eight thousand square yards.
She was instantly dumbfounded at the sight of the dead Ancient Turtle Serpent Beast.
That sight was really shocking.
She had no idea what Ye Xuan had done to achieve that.
How many monsters were there?
Seeing those monsters, she instantly understood how Ye Xuan’s points had soared all of a sudden.
She was not good at cursing.
However, if she had to curse.
The only thing she would say was probably, “you are not a human being!”
She truly did not think Ye Xuan was a human being.
They were both Beast Tamers on the peak Silver level. How come the gap between them was so huge?
“Ye Xuan, this is the Gold-level monster you killed? What was its grade? What about its level?”
Seeing the Ancient Turtle Serpent Beast’s dead body, she could not help but ask Ye Xuan.
“It was only on the low Gold level, but its grade was probably four stars.”
Ye Xuan did not hide anything from her.
However, he made himself sound. He was not sure about it that it was just his guess.
A four-star Gold-level monster?
Miao Shuyao was even more dumbfounded when she had got Ye Xuan’s answer.
That was a monster that had the potential to achieve the Master level.
And her potential would at most allow her to become a Master-level Beast Tamer.
The chance of achieving the Challenger level was slim for her.
What she looked forward to most was to find a four-star Gold-level beast for herself and try to contract with it after she achieved the Gold level.
As to five-star Gold-level beasts, she figured she did not have enough talent to contract with them.
However, by then, Ye Xuan just killed a four-star Gold-level beast?
“Have you got it?”
While the two were talking, Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness and found the Tidal Treasure Snail he had sent out to fetch the magical bead was already on its way back.
Seeing that, Ye Xuan tried to take it back into the Beast Lair when it was about two miles away from him.
“Eh?”
He just wanted to give it a try.
But he found he could take the Tidal Treasure Snail back into the Beast Lair from that distance for sure.
However, in spite of that, he could not take the bead into the Beast Lair along with the Tidal Treasure Snail.
“Does the bead have self-consciousness?”
Ye Xuan frowned.
Only things with self-consciousness could not be taken into the Beast Lair.
However, Ye Xuan found it very hard to give up the bead, which he thought might be a Challenger-level evolutionary resource.
Therefore, he shifted his consciousness to let the Tidal Treasure Snail fly up with the bead.
It was just a bead. He did not think it could really make any trouble.
After all, it did nothing at all when he was fighting against the Ancient Turtle Serpent Beast.
Whoosh!
While he was thinking about that, the Tidal Treasure Snail leaped out of the sea very soon and flew toward him at high speed.
“What is that?”
Next to him, Miao Shuyao saw the weird bead the Tidal Treasure Snail holding in its mouth. She felt she saw mirages on the bead. That sight piqued curiosity in her.
But Ye Xuan did not offer her any explanation.
He used his Mind Energy to shroud the bead when the Tidal Treasure Snail had stopped in front of him. Then he tried again to take it into one of his Beast Rings.
Whoosh!
He succeeded this time.
The bead disappeared as soon as he shifted his consciousness.
It was taken into his Beast Ring.
“Fortunately.”
Seeing that, Ye Xuan felt relieved.
If he had failed to take the bead into the Beast Ring again, he probably would not have the nerve to walk around with it on him.
“Shuyao, let’s get out of here.”
Ye Xuan said to Miao Shuyao when all this had been done. Then he told Lil Wan to take him into the sky.
“Wait!”
Miao Shuyao hurried to catch up with Ye Xuan. She said, “Ye Xuan, later, you just need to focus on your things. Focus on hunting monsters. As to me, I will take care of myself.”
“I will try not to disturb you if it is not necessary.”
“This sea is huge. I will stay about six miles away from you.”
“I will make noises if I run into danger. And you will be able to hear me from six miles away and come to my rescue in time.”
Ye Xuan darted a look at Miao Shuyao in surprise.
He had to admit this suggestion was perfect for both of them.
For him, Miao Shuyao would not hinder him from hunting monsters.
For Miao Shuyao, she would feel safe, and he would be able to offer her help whenever she needed it.
“Okay. Let’s do it this way.”
Ye Xuan gave Miao Shuyao a nod. Then he said, “But now, I will take you to kill a few people first. We need to get rid of this little tail that has been sticking to you. We will start hunting monsters after that. It won’t be any late. We have sufficient time.”
“A little tail?”
Miao Shuyao was struck dumb.
But then she turned pale. “Ye Xuan, did you mean someone has been following me?”
“That’s right.”
Ye Xuan said after a nod, “But it is no big problem. They are only four Silver-level Beast Tamers. I can take care of them.”
Then he flew with Miao Shuyao in some direction.
“Eh?”
“That woman really found Ye Xuan for us. Tut. Tut. I feel I should give her a thumbs up.”
“A thumbs up. Shoot. Look. How come Ye Xuan is coming this way?”
“What?”
“Darn it. Did he find us out? Why is he flying so fast?”
At the same time, about two miles away from Ye Xuan, the four Beast Tamers from the Silver Blood Clan led by Alva.
They all turned pale when they had found Ye Xuan was flying toward them at high speed.
