Looking at the defeated Eight-Eyed Octopus, the three little pets exchanged smiles.
The Pill Master and Dark Princess then returned to the Pet Nest.
This battle.
Ye Chen earned 80 points.
Blood Asura also gained 70 experience.
A white bead with seven gold dots flew into Ye Chen's inventory.
At the location where the Eight-Eyed Octopus died, lays the spoils of war.
[Eight-Eyed King Eye: Suitable for water and poison attribute creatures. When making eye contact with other creatures, it can render the opponent unconscious for one second]
[Tentacle Cartilage Fragment*1: Collect six fragments to synthesize Six-Tentacle Soft Bone]
[Small Life Recovery Potion*2]
Ye Chen wasn't particularly interested in these items.
On the ground, there was something emitting a purple light, clearly extraordinary.
[King's Fang: Rare monster specialty, refined from sharp teeth, a rare-grade dagger! Has a temporary paralysis effect]
Ye Chen couldn't help but show delight; this item would be perfect for the Dark Princess.
He immediately called Lin Nuoyi and the others over. The three of them came to Ye Chen and were surprised to see the Eight-Eyed Octopus was dead.
"Brother Chen, is the Eight-Eyed Octopus dead?"
Ye Chen hummed a response without explaining the process in detail, instead saying, "Let's share the spoils of war!"
Now with an extra person in the team, the spoils on the ground were clearly not enough to go around.
Zhu Qiang looked at the spoils without saying a word, while Iron Bull quickly said, "Big Brother Ye Chen, you guys go ahead and split them up. I won't take part in dividing the spoils."
Ye Chen looked at the slightly uneasy Iron Bull and said, "What are you saying? As a part of the team, it's only right that you contribute and share the spoils."
Zhu Qiang also chimed in, "Yeah, Iron Bull, don't be shy. We're a team, we're brothers!"
Hearing Ye Chen and Zhu Qiang's words, Iron Bull couldn't help but feel touched; no one had ever treated him like this before.
"Hahaha, if you don't know how to divide them, you might as well give them to us!"
A loud laugh came from not far away, and the four of them looked up quickly.
They saw six people approaching, all around the age of twenty-seven.
The four immediately became vigilant.
The six in front were clearly another team.
Because of a new feature, Ye Chen could immediately see their information, squinting his eyes slightly.
The leader was named Jiang Hu, a fat man with a big head and ears, dyed with tawny hair.
His pet was an LV5 Jade-faced Demon Fox, a Tier Three pet.
The pets of the other six were:
Huang Ming, LV4 Two-faced Dog.
Jiang Yu, LV4 Red-Eyed Rabbit.
Lu Liang, LV4 Five-Clawed Wolf.
Sheng Ziheng, LV4 Earthworm.
Luo Tong, LV4 Ritual Turtle.
However, the tiers were all elite and rare, meaning their starting points were relatively poor, and this six-man team's overall strength was obviously above Ye Chen's team, with higher combat power.
Jiang Hu laughed and said, "Guys, you're pretty impressive, taking down this LV7 Eight-Eyed Octopus, not bad at all."
Watching the laughing group, Zhu Qiang couldn't help but take two steps back and said.
"Brother Chen, what should we do? They don't look like good guys, and they have an LV5 pet. Maybe we should run!"
Ye Chen said nothing and quietly watched the people in front of him.
Iron Bull suddenly said, "Big Brother Ye Chen, why don't you guys leave? I'll stay with the Vajra Ape to hold them off!"
As he spoke, Iron Bull was about to charge forward, but Ye Chen grabbed him and scolded, "I'm the captain and haven't acted yet, what's the rush!"
Ye Chen then pushed Iron Bull behind him, while their information was also noticed by the other side.
Luo Tong said to Jiang Hu, "Boss, that kid's pet is no joke!"
Jiang Hu looked at Blood Asura, and his face instantly darkened, "It's a Sacred Artifact, and Tier Eight no less!"
Blood Asura was standing on the ground; Jiang Hu initially thought she was a little girl following Ye Chen, but it turned out to be Ye Chen's pet.
Having seen Blood Asura's level, Jiang Hu's face relaxed quite a bit, "But it's just an LV3 pet, the highest level they have is only LV3, nothing to worry about."
The LV3 pet happened to be Ye Chen's Blood Asura.
Luo Tong, however, cautiously said, "Boss, though their lowest pet tier is Legendary Quality, we..."
Before Luo Tong could finish, Jiang Hu cursed, "What the heck are you scared of? You know fortunes are sought amidst danger. We have so many people, and at the very least, our pets are all LV4, afraid of what?"
"Boss's lesson is right."
Luo Tong quickly stepped aside, and Jiang Hu said to Ye Chen and the others, "Kid, hand over the Prokaryote of the Eight-Eyed Octopus, and the spoils along with it, and I'll make your death swift."
Before Ye Chen could reply, Lin Nuoyi mocked, "Oh wow, others spare a life in exchange for goods, but you want both!"
Jiang Hu's face instantly turned grim.
Spare a life?
That was impossible.
Pets of Ye Chen's team were all at high tiers, and their achievements would surely surpass theirs.
If they let them go, it would be like planting a ticking time bomb for themselves, not to mention, killing them and their pets would allow them to level up.
Otherwise, how did they quickly level up their pets to LV4, all from the same means.
Robbing instead of hunting monsters was clearly faster!
Jiang Hu told his five subordinates, "Three of us will deal with that humanoid pet, and you three will restrain the other three. After they're dead, our pets will devour theirs, ensuring they'll make a qualitative leap."
Jiang Hu wasn't wrong; the higher the devoured pet's level, the more experience gained.
A faster way to level up than killing monsters was to eat other people's pets!
These people's pets were so high-leveled, they must have killed many.
Zhu Qiang whispered, "Brother Chen, what do we do?"
Ye Chen calmly said, "No need to worry, their pets are low-tier. Though their level is higher than ours, they don't necessarily have an advantage! There's a good chance three will target me, and three will each face you!"
"Ah!"
Zhu Qiang exclaimed.
"What do we do then, Brother Chen? Won't you be in great danger?"
But Ye Chen smiled slightly, "I'll keep their three busy, while you three band together and take down each of the remaining three one by one, understand? Once you're done, come help me."
The three nodded repeatedly, their faces serious.
With a formidable enemy, one had to muster all their energy and spirit.
"Alright, prepare to act."
The three quickly summoned their pets together, while Jiang Hu and his men already finished their discussion.
Looking at them with eyes full of killing intent, the atmosphere was now filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Ye Chen's heart remained calm as ever, for he had the Pill Master and Dark Princess, the two lethal weapons!
Moreover, he himself was the biggest weapon.
Who would have thought he was more powerful than his pets?
The war was about to erupt.
Jiang Hu, Luo Tong, and Sheng Ziheng controlled their pets to quickly rush at Ye Chen.
The other three controlled their pets to charge at Lin Nuoyi, Zhu Qiang, and Iron Bull.
Jiang Hu and the others didn't come over, they stood from a distance.
After all, killing the owner was more effective than killing the pet!
The Jade-faced Demon Fox and Ritual Turtle executed a pincer attack on Blood Asura.
The Earthworm charged at Ye Chen.
Pets were different from monsters.
The same level of monsters were much weaker than pets.
Blood Asura held the Scythe of Death, without a trace of fear.
Instead, it licked its lips, excitedly eyeing the Jade-faced Demon Fox and Ritual Turtle.
Zheng!
Ye Chen also drew the Thunder Shocking Blade, eyeing the charging Earthworm.
