Before the fastest update of "Traversing the Starry Expanse, Wife Honors Husband with Nobility!"
"We can't even handle our own affairs, who has the time to snatch hers!" Zhou Feng muttered, lying still on the little crystal beast, utterly exhausted. Whoever wanted to do it, he wasn't going to do it anymore.
Luo Bi circled around others' territories, eventually returning to her own. She was a money lover, not letting anyone off, scraping every last bit. However, she was cunning, skillfully controlling the range of her harvest, always leaving a small part for others to gather, taking the rest to avoid arousing suspicion.
Before nightfall, several hunting teams cleared the scattered beasts from the rocky highlands, activated the defensive array, and set up their tents.
By then, it was already dark. The lighting was turned on, and the hunting teams started to busy themselves with roasting meat and cooking. Here, Li Feng was still in charge of cooking. Large pieces of meat were placed on the grill, and soon the rocky highlands were filled with the aroma of roasting meat.
Before the meal, Luo Bi replaced the energy stone in her seven-color bracelet with a new high-grade one. Only then did she understand why no one stored large items in their storage devices; the energy consumption for storing and retrieving was too high. In just half a day, she had used up a high-grade energy stone.
Fortunately, she wasn't short of energy stones; otherwise, even with a large-capacity storage device, it would be useless.
Since she consumed a lot of energy, Luo Bi thought of others. So during the meal, she asked, "Do you still have enough energy stones?"
Qin Yilang, who used energy without restraint every day, was also cautious. He made sure the team checked their energy levels daily. Having already checked, he replied, "We can last another day without any problem."
Wen Xiao, quick-witted, sensed something in Luo Bi's words and couldn't help but ask, "Do you have more high-grade energy stones?"
Luo Bi didn't answer but said, "Let me know when you run out."
This meant she did have more. The group's expressions varied, and Wen Xiao smiled, now free from any worries.
At 10 PM, several more hunting teams arrived at the rocky highlands. They were numerous but looked quite disheveled, clearly having just gone through a fierce battle.
After arriving, they started setting up tents and cooking, making a lot of noise.
Luo Bi, unable to sleep due to the noise, was comforted by Feng Ling, who pressed her into his arms: "Go to sleep, you won't be able to wake up tomorrow otherwise."
Luo Bi, worried that the noise would affect Feng Ling's rest, stopped moving and gradually fell asleep.
The next day, more hunting teams were in the area, causing some chaos among the prey, especially the later teams. They had few combat personnel but many logistics personnel, clearly not caring about their reputation.
Seeing this, Luo Bi didn't hold back. The more chaotic, the better. The chaos would allow her to take advantage and secretly store more prey in her seven-color bracelet. By the end of the day, she had used up two high-grade energy stones. Checking the space in the bracelet, she cursed; it was still too small and was almost full.
That night, the hunting teams still rested on the rocky highlands. Li Feng was busy roasting meat and cooking, while Qin Yilang led the team in setting up tents. Luo Bi sat on a blanket, munching on a nutritional fruit, when suddenly, several loud roars came from the distance, startling everyone.
After a moment, Yan Jun'ao led his hunting team down the rocky highlands, followed by another team that quickly armed themselves and followed. Magic beasts were valuable, and hunting one would make them rich.
"Captain, should we give it a try?" Watching others go to hunt the magic beasts, Wen Xiao's eyes turned red with envy.
