Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2455: Chapter 42: Big Profit! Mysterious Enemy_2

“Zzz!”

The screen abruptly cut off.

Obviously, the exploring spider was discovered and smashed by the cunning fierce crocodile with its tail.

Although the exploring spider is small and delicate, compared to the gigantic void beast crocodile, it’s not even considered a fly.

“This little thing is quite interesting; it’s very clever for reconnaissance,” Saintess Water Moon said while engaging in a conversation with Wang Ningxi, “but it’s a bit too fragile. I feel like even a breath from me could break it.”

“It’s just something for scouting the path. If Your Highness the Saintess likes it, I’ll gift you a set to play with later.” Wang Ningxi took off his helmet and turned to Wang Shouzhe, saying, “Old Ancestor Grandpa, the preliminary judgment is that this ruin is very ancient, and most of the creatures inside have likely perished.”

“Hmm, it seems there is no other danger except for the void beast crocodile. But to be safe,” Wang Shouzhe instructed again, “Water Moon, you should condense a projection and take a few more exploring spiders to scout the path.”

“Finally, it’s my turn to make an appearance.”

Saintess Water Moon agreed cheerfully, her whole body brimming with fighting spirit.

Opening new ruins often represents tremendous wealth. Even picking up an immortal artifact casually could sell for dozens of immortal spirit stones, and if you found something like a sacred artifact, you’d make a fortune.

Moreover, she’s quite fascinated with this sort of blind box game, and just the thought of endless possibilities gets her blood boiling.

In an instant.

She condensed a projection that was identical to her true form, with her consciousness attached to it. Then, she took a few little spiders from Wang Ningxi and charged into the space vortex channel.

Using a projection to scout the path is also a common method used by True Immortal Realm experts. After all, projections are different from the true form; even if it dies, while the original’s divine soul suffers a cost, it’s much better than using the true form to scout the path directly.

However, the projection itself has no consciousness. When a true immortal manipulates a projection, the true body almost enters an unconscious state and becomes very fragile, making it troublesome if attacked.

Therefore, when projecting, the true body either needs to be in a secure room or requires the protection of teammates.

It wasn’t long before the results came back.

Saintess Water Moon’s projection roamed inside without finding other dangers, but still alerted the gigantic void crocodile.

Unwilling to lose this projection, Saintess Water Moon had to escape desperately and called for help.

At this moment, Wang Shouzhe then invited the Red Hell Demon Emperor and Cai Youdao to enter the space vortex channel to assist Saintess Water Moon.

As for the others, they continued to guard the entrance to prevent any unexpected incidents and to protect Saintess Water Moon’s true form.

Once the Red Hell Demon Emperor and Cai Youdao entangled the void beast crocodile, Saintess Water Moon released the projection state, with her consciousness returning to the true body. Without waiting for Wang Shouzhe’s command, she wielded the Cold Moon Wheel and charged towards the interior of the ruins with a shout.

The void beast crocodile, trapped inside the ruins like a turtle in a jar with its retreat sealed, found it hard to escape. Even so, the three mighty True Immortal level powers took half a day to wear down and finally kill the gigantic void beast crocodile.

This method of warfare is also for safety. Everyone knows that a desperate and injured fierce beast is most frightening. Experienced hunters never go head-to-head with a desperate beast, and if they can safely exhaust it to death, there’s no need to risk their lives.

After defeating the gigantic void beast crocodile, Wang Anye and Wang Ningxi finally entered the ruins to explore and gather the spoils of the battle.

Meanwhile, Wang Shouzhe continued with Yun Tiange and others, guarding the outer space channel to prevent any additional incidents.

First thing handled was the corpse of the void beast crocodile.

Such an enormous void beast, just the stripped crocodile meat alone weighed at least a million pounds. And because the meat from this Level Fourteen fierce beast is extremely hard to hunt and scarce, its price is actually even higher than Rank Six spirit rice.

Currently, in the Sacred Domain, the price of high-quality Rank Six spirit rice is generally around two thousand immortal crystals per pound, while this Level Fourteen meat can sell for about three thousand immortal crystals per pound.

Thus, only this crocodile meat is worth about thirty immortal spirit stones.

The other materials, such as bones, leather, and claws, are also top-quality, suitable for refining Dao-level items, or as auxiliary materials for immortal artifacts, and can fetch another ten or twenty immortal spirit stones.

Even the blood can be used for alchemy; it requires the essence blood to be extracted first. Although its value is not as high as bones or claws, it can still be worth a few top-quality spirit stones.

The overall profit is astonishing.

However, going out to hunt void beasts is extremely dangerous, and even a True Immortal might fall. Furthermore, even a Sacred Supreme venturing into the void to explore isn’t without danger, easily turning from hunter to hunted if not careful!

Unless they truly lack funds or coincidentally have an opportunity and enough assurance, few family ancestors are willing to hunt in dangerous areas. Because if an accident happens, the entire family could suffer the consequences.

If it weren’t for this void beast crocodile suddenly migrating near the trade route, constantly harassing it and attempting to rob the spirit rice, even mastering the route for ambush attacks, Wang Shouzhe wouldn’t have bothered to pick a fight with a Level Thirteen or Fourteen fierce beast for fun.

This time and effort could be better spent opening more fields and farming, which, accumulated over time, results in much more wealth than hunting, and is safer.

Besides, Wang Anye also found a nest of void beast crocodile eggs in a concealed spot within the ruins, intending to bring them back for hatching at the breeding base. If luck is on their side, it might become part of the Wang family’s industrial chain.
