Outside Fengyuan City, level 3 wild cat territory.
Xia Yi Wushuang was swiftly harvesting monsters with low health, rapidly increasing his cultivation.
However, seeing the scattered materials his subordinates brought him, he frowned.
"Your efficiency is too low. As the reserve team of the Xia Yi Alliance, how can we still be gathering materials within level 3?!"
A thin, short figure bowed and said with a smile, "Guild leader, there are too many players in this area, it's really hard to grab too many resources. We don't know the strength of monsters above level 3 yet, so we dare not try!"
Xia Yi Wushuang pondered, his eyes darting back and forth.
"This won't do! My brother said that we must improve our strength to far surpass ordinary players before I can be officially recommended to join the Xia Yi Alliance. You guys go explore further inside, see if higher-level monsters can be challenged."
Up to this point, he had only barely reached level 4. This was much stronger than ordinary players, but still far from his goal.
A clever subordinate quickly replied, "I just saw two people go in one after another. It seems they haven't come out."
Someone sneered, "Perhaps they were killed by monsters and resurrected in the village."
Xia Yi Wushuang seemed to be thinking. "No player nowadays is foolish. Those who dare to go further without a team must have some backing. Or perhaps they have some information, and there are some treasures inside? Or easily killable monsters?"
At this, his eyes brightened, and his breathing quickened.
"Let's set off immediately, let's go and see!"
"Yes, Guild leader!"
The group of ten or so people quickly packed up their spoils and marched forward grandly. It was precisely the route Lin Feng and Cai Ji Da Shi had taken before.
The scattered players around them were all startled.
"Are they leaving? Finally, no one is hogging the area, we can finally level up normally!"
"Little wild cat, big brother is here!"
Some people spat fiercely on the ground.
"Pah! These bandits are finally gone!"
"A bunch of trash, only knowing how to bully us ordinary players."
"Have the guts to go to higher-level maps, I bet you'll be dealt with by the masters!"
A female player gritted her teeth. "They are so arrogant. If they provoke some big shot, there will always be a time when they suffer!"
Others sighed. "Although we say that, these few people are not weak, and they have a large number of people. Apart from more powerful guild teams, where are there any individual big shots who can contend with them? That they can leave this area, giving ordinary players a place to survive, these players are already content. As for whether they live or die elsewhere, no one can worry about it."
A few minutes later.
Among the Xia Yi team.
The few who were cautiously exploring ahead peeked into the wild boar area and were stunned.
Someone immediately reported to Xia Yi Wushuang.
"Guild leader, there's no one inside, but there are many wild boar corpses!"
Xia Yi Wushuang was shocked. "Level 5 wild boars? My brother said that once our team's average strength goes up, we'll form a team to challenge level 5 wild boars, which have higher yields. And now someone can kill wild boars? Is there a master team here comparable to my brother's?"
The scout quickly said, "It seems one player is harvesting the wild boar corpses."
Xia Yi Wushuang's eyes narrowed. "Can you tell which guild's gatherer it is? Those who can kill wild boars must be top teams from major guilds, I don't think I can afford to offend them."
Someone shook his head. "This seems to be a lone player."
Xia Yi Wushuang was overjoyed, immediately felt relieved, and coldly snorted. "A lone player dares to gather wild boars, don't they know these are the spoils of our Xia Yi Alliance? As long as they're not from a major guild, won't I be able to handle them at will?"
His subordinates understood. They all sneered, "Guild leader is right, this ignorant kid actually dares to snatch our alliance's things, he's truly courting death!"
After Xia Yi Wushuang winked, the few people in the team who had learned gathering skills scattered. Each squatted in front of a wild boar and, without a word, began to gather.
A thin, short man named Xia Yi Ben Se came up to Cai Ji Da Shi and said with a frown, "Kid, what are you doing here?"
Cai Ji Da Shi looked up in surprise, a little displeased. "Gathering, what else can I do?"
Xia Yi Ben Se's face turned cold. "In our Xia Yi Alliance's territory, you dare to snatch things? Hand over what you've gathered immediately!"
Cai Ji Da Shi was not stupid, he understood. "Are you trying to rob me?"
Xia Yi Ben Se coldly snorted. "With so many wild boars, did you kill them all?"
Cai Ji Da Shi shook his head. "I didn't kill them, but the god who killed the monsters allowed me to gather."
Xia Yi Ben Se's heart skipped a beat, his voice trembling slightly. "Where is that god?" He was worried. "Did I run into a core member of a top guild? If it's someone I can't afford to offend, we should leave as soon as possible."
"Why should I tell you?" Cai Ji Da Shi was wary. "The god clearly doesn't like trouble, I can't just say anything."
Xia Yi Ben Se felt relieved. "He doesn't even dare to report a name. This kid must have just been lucky. This so-called god letting him gather is probably made up. Maybe he just happened to see a high-level team from a guild cleaning up the battlefield, and others didn't care about these materials, so he got a bargain. What god! If that's the case, then there are no worries."
With this thought, he quickly turned back and reported the situation to Xia Yi Wushuang.
Xia Yi Wushuang's face showed joy, and he waved his hand impatiently. "Then let him leave his things and get lost quickly! A life player who was just lucky, and I had to be so cautious? These precious materials, this little fatty doesn't deserve to gather them!"
Xia Yi Ben Se swaggered up to Cai Ji Da Shi. "Kid, you're lucky. Our guild leader is in a good mood and won't take your life. Leave your things and get lost!"
Cai Ji Da Shi's anger burned in his heart, and he gritted his teeth, panting. "What Xia Yi Alliance, you are simply a bunch of bandits! Robbing things and still being so arrogant?" He had never seen such a scummy group of players.
However, seeing the few people who had surrounded him with unfriendly expressions, he tightly clenched his mouth. His hands trembled slightly as he began to take out his items. In his heart, he was thinking rapidly. If he resisted, he would definitely not be their opponent. His gathering talent could automatically convert a portion of gathering experience into character experience. After gathering for a while, his cultivation had been rapidly increasing, and he was on the verge of level 3. If he was robbed now, it would be too much of a loss. "A wise man knows when to yield, I'll endure it!"
"They are all here." His voice was calm as he slowly took out the materials he had gathered. In his heart, he secretly swore. "When I become powerful, I will definitely get revenge for this!"
