The next day, Gray returned to the safe house at dusk. The reason was that he was getting more and more trapped while hunting the beasts with mana crystals.
Even though he tried his best today, he only found two beasts with mana crystals.
In the end, Gray gritted his teeth and used an unripe vitality fruit. He went to the deeper part of the forest and found two more beasts with mana crystals.
This also caused them to almost not be able to rush back to the safe house before dark.
On the way back, Gray basically jogged all the way. Running in the forest and running on flat ground were two different concepts. The slightest carelessness could result in injury.
Along the way, Gray was careful and stretched his nerves to the limit. He did not want to get injured and use the ripe vitality fruit that he had obtained with great difficulty in such a stupid place.
As soon as he entered the house, Gray only had time to untie the dragon egg from his back. He hugged the dragon egg and fell onto the bed.
He was really too tired.
The dragon egg protested because of Gray’s rude actions. It did not have a body yet, so it could not understand what fatigue was.
Gray had to reach out and gently touch its outer shell to comfort it.
However, although it did not have a tiring body, the dragon egg still sensed that Gray did not seem to be very comfortable. Coupled with Gray’s appeasement, it quickly stopped and obediently fell silent.
Gray laid down for a while, and after his body had finally recovered a little strength, he struggled to get up. Today’s matters were not over yet, so he could not just rest like this.
Gray first went to the fireplace in the dark and lit a fire. The light from the fire gradually dispelled the darkness and the cold and dampness in the room.
Gray took a comfortable breath, and the burning fire also warmed him.
He took out a piece of the meat he had harvested, cut it into strips, and then cooked dinner with ease.
If only there were some seasonings, Gray suddenly thought.
After getting out of the predicament of having no food, he suddenly missed all the delicacies he had tasted in the old world.
On top of that, perhaps hunger had stimulated the memories in Gray’s mind. Once this was opened, there was a tendency to not be able to close it.
All sorts of flavors began to emerge from Gray’s mind. Along with the aroma of the roasted meat, even the taste seemed to become a little more real.
It wasn’t that Gray was tired of eating roasted meat. The Guardians had already begun to head to the jungle on a large scale. However, there were still many people who were fighting for a mouthful of meat. Gray wasn’t that pretentious.
It was just that there were times when one’s consciousness couldn’t be controlled. Gray was actually unable to stop his thoughts from running wild.
In the end, when the roast meat was cooked, Gray made up his mind to pay attention to any potential seasonings in the future.
He had even found the vitality fruit. There was no reason that he could not find a seasoning plant that could be eaten.
He did not have to try one after another like the ancient people. There was a system. Once he opened the appraisal, the effects of all kinds of plants would be easy to grasp!
Putting down his complicated thoughts, Gray put the roasted meat into his mouth and opened the attribute panel.
As usual, he scrolled through the chat channel.
“Did everyone notice that there are some beasts that are obviously stronger than others of the same level?”
“I noticed it! Moreover, the deeper you go into the jungle, the easier it is to meet them.”
“Has anyone killed such a beast before? Come out and let me have an eye-opener.”
“You must be planning on sticking with whoever killed one, right? Those big shots who left the safe house on the first day must have killed a beast like that.”
“I heard that killing a beast like that can let you obtain a type of material called a drop…”
“A drop? What’s that? Is it edible?”
…
The chat channel was still bustling with activity. Unlike the exorcism dance in the morning, the chat channel now finally looked like a gathering place for information.
However…
Gray shook his head disinterestedly. Most of the information was lagging behind his own, and even the sender of the information did not seem to be sure of its accuracy. He did not know from which powerhouse that person had heard the rumors.
Whatever it was, it had nothing to do with Gray. After watching for a while, Gray lost interest. He was too lazy to share the gains of the past few days with the Guardians. After all, his experience was too special, and others could not refer to it even if they wanted to.
Most importantly, Gray hated trouble.
He opened the trading hall again. Just as he had expected, there were more Guardians selling meat today, and the price had been drastically reduced. The cheapest ones only required one unit of wood and one unit of metal. In contrast, the value of wood and metal had increased. There was already news of people seeking to buy them.
Gray flipped through the trading hall, wanting to see how the ‘big business’ he was working with Aikasha was doing. However, after a while, he couldn’t find the interface for selling weapons.
He felt strange. Could it be that Aikasha didn’t have any weapons on the shelves today?
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense. Aikasha needed time to make her own weapons. Wouldn’t it be good to have this time to improve herself?
Selling weapons was only a side business after all. The ultimate goal was to become stronger and survive.
After thinking about it, Gray decided to contact Aikasha and ask about the situation in detail. His two-pronged plan was still waiting for this deal.
He opened his friends list and sent a message to Aikasha:
“Miss Aikasha, are you there? How’s the sales of the weapons today?”
He had thought that he would wait for a while, but he did not expect to receive an immediate response:
“You came at the right time, Mr. Gray. We’re all out of weapons!”
All out of weapons!
There was an unconcealable excitement in Aikasha’s words. Gray understood Aikasha’s words and was equally surprised. In order to avoid misunderstandings, he asked,
“Miss Aikasha, did you make all the drops into weapons?”
“Of course!”
The other party’s firm answer made Gray feel puzzled.
That wasn’t right. There were seven drops. Even if a weapon was forged in an hour, that would still be seven hours. In addition to resting and eating, could it be that Aikasha hadn’t gone out to hunt for a whole day? Was she really blinded by money?
Gray hurriedly asked:
“Miss Aikasha, could it be that you’ve been forging for the entire day? Then what about your jungle exploration? Seven days later, we can’t just rely on the safe house to resist the Beast Tide!”
Aikasha was silent for a moment before strangely replying:
“Mr. Gray, hunting beasts to resist the Beast Tide should be more efficient, right? The ability to forge weapons is my responsibility.”
Gray finally realized that he had thought wrongly. So far, it seemed like he was the only one who needed to fight against the beasts..
