Team Dynamics and New Missions
On Floating Island, Chen Xinyu asked Yuqi, "Yuqi, is it because my strength is too low that the Captain didn't want to take me?"
Yuqi comforted her. "Don't think too much about it. Didn't Sister Yun and Mina also stay? There are many people in the team now, and we only need to send a select group at a time." Chen Xinyu nodded slightly, realizing it made sense, especially with everyone's strength being so high.
Yuto Saito used his Teleportation talent to bring the team back.
"Captain's back!" Yuqi said happily.
Yuto Saito smiled. "The wolves were quite active this time; we almost missed a few."
Ni Shuang smiled brightly. "Yes, there were several little wolves trying to escape the shelter, and we were madly chasing them!"
Nako smiled. "It's impossible for them to escape."
Natto added with a smile, "That's right, Brother Su and Nako have the ability to fly, and their speed is much faster than the wolves."
Ruoruo applauded. "In short, all the wolves have been wiped out!"
Yuto Saito handed the corpse of the sixth-order Wolf King to Mifen. "Everyone, give me the spar you collected; you can keep other things."
"Okay," Ni Shuang and the others responded. Everyone handed their collected items over to Yuto Saito.
"I have a fifth-grade ring on my side," Yuto Saito said to the girls. "Mina, here you go."
"Thank you, Captain!" Mina was overjoyed. Thinking of the wonderful time with Yuto Saito last night, Mina's smile brightened even more; she cherished that feeling.
"Next time I get a good ring, it'll be Juzi's turn," Yuto Saito added.
Juzi smiled. "I'm not in a hurry. A third-grade ring is enough for now."
Yun Yun asked, "Xiaotu, how many crystals did you get this time?"
Yuto Saito replied, "One green spar, more than two hundred red spar, and over seven hundred white spar."
"More than 200 red crystals?" Yun Yun said in surprise. "Doesn't that mean we can upgrade the Floating Island?"
"We now have 6 green spar, 300 red spar, and 7,593 white spar," Yuto Saito confirmed. "It's enough to upgrade."
The girls cheered, "That's great!"
Chen Xinyu happily exclaimed, "Wow, I've gained over 900,000 experience!"
In total, there were 1,009 wolves: one sixth-order Wolf King and 1,008 third-order gray wolves. The sixth-order Wolf King yielded 600 experience points. The 1,008 third-order gray wolves, at 300 experience points each, totaled 302,400 experience. This made for a grand total of 303,000 experience. Yuto Saito, using a 10x experience pill, gained 3.03 million experience. The girls, using triple experience pills, each gained 909,000 experience.
"Now, while the experience pills are still active, hurry up and earn more experience," Yuto Saito instructed the group. "Once the validity period of the experience pills is over, we'll upgrade the Floating Island to Level 5."
The girls nodded in agreement.
"Natto," Yuto Saito said, "check the private messages in the background, read the news, or look at the comments in our God of War Squad's comment section."
Natto opened the account's private messages and carefully reviewed the new messages.
Ni Shuang grabbed a phone and scrolled through the comments. "Look, the 8th hot comment in the comment section!" This comment, posted at 6:38 AM, read as follows:
[I found more than 200 turtles, all second-order black turtles. There are too many for me to beat. Coordinates: Jinsha River in Sichuan Province...]
Mifen said excitedly, "The black-armored turtle is a good find! It can be used to make King Kong Pills, which are like a talisman. Moreover, their shells can be used to make strengthening potions. As long as we collect these turtles, I can make two kinds of medicinal pills: King Kong Pills and strengthening potions!"
Yun Yun looked at Yuto Saito and smiled. "Xiaotu, I'll go this time."
Yuto Saito nodded. "Okay, Yun Yun will lead the team this time. Everyone who didn't go to fight the wolves just now will go."
"Great, I can finally go!" Chen Xinyu cheered. Having just gained 909,000 experience, Chen Xinyu had already leveled up to Level 5, raising her strength to 6-star combat power.
"Xinyu, choose your weapon," Yuto Saito said, taking weapons out of his ring. Chen Xinyu chose embroidery needles and a dagger.
Hu Tuan'er used her Teleportation talent and took everyone to the Jinsha River in Sichuan Province.
Sha Ying's Pursuit
Rewinding to 7 AM.
Sha Ying woke up, and after breakfast, she checked the internet for information. Knowing what had happened in the western part of the Dragon Kingdom, she couldn't help but feel a surge of frustration. Sha Ying wanted to see the God of War team's updates and happened to spot the news about the black turtle in the comment section. Knowing that second-order black-armored turtles were in Sichuan Province, Sha Ying immediately rushed over.
It took Sha Ying an hour to reach the Jinsha River. Looking along the riverside, Sha Ying finally spotted a group of second-order black turtles. She excitedly attacked them. Sha Ying only had four-star combat power, so her progress was slow. As soon as she killed two mysterious turtles, she detected a powerful aura. Sha Ying quickly fled and hid behind a distant stone.
Unexpected Encounter and Departure
Hu Tuan'er brought everyone, teleporting to that location.
"Attention," Yun Yun warned. "There's an Awakened person behind that stone over there, a girl."
Yuqi looked around vigilantly. "Would you like to capture her? I can fly over."
Yun Yun gestured. "No, she's not provoking us. We don't need to kill people indiscriminately. Let's collect these black turtles first."
Immediately afterward, the girls launched an attack on the second-order black turtles.
Sha Ying remained hidden behind the stone, watching the group from a distance. She clenched her right fist. "Damn it! If only I had come here earlier, I could have killed a few more black turtles." Fortunately, she had managed to kill two; at least it wasn't a wasted trip.
Sha Ying felt that the blue-haired beauty looked familiar, as if she had seen her before. Oh, right! She's very similar to the blue-haired beauty in Yuto Saito's team. But why didn't she see Yuto Saito or the red-haired beauty? Sha Ying thought that if the God of War team had all been dispatched, then logically, with the blue-haired beauty here, Yuto Saito and the red-haired beauty should also be present. Maybe it's not the same group of people, just similar blue hair? Sha Ying mused to herself.
However, in the next moment, Sha Ying was certain that the blue-haired beauty was from Yuto Saito's team, because she saw Yun Yun use thunder and lightning to electrocute a black turtle.
"Damn it!" Sha Ying cursed. "She really is a member of the Yuto Saito team. No, I have to retreat quickly. If they find out my true identity, they might eliminate me."
Sha Ying ran in the opposite direction.
Every one of her movements was observed by Yun Yun. Yun Yun didn't know that Sha Ying was Sha Long's younger sister. She simply thought she was an ordinary Awakened person who had come to hunt black turtles.
In an instant, over two hundred black turtles were killed, and the team happily returned to the Floating Island.
