Light Fortress-Chapter 1397 - 175: Harvest (Part 3)

"It’s fine, I can do it."

However, Gu Xiaoman didn’t seem to care.

She had crawled through piles of corpses in the E0 district, what scene hadn’t she witnessed?

In times of famine, she had even seen cannibalism, scenes where not even bones were left... bloodletting and deboning really weren’t much, if she had a teacher, she could soon skin an entire beast!

The few people heard this with a bit of helplessness.

"Xiaoman, you’d better continue finding Beast Spirits to duel."

Shen Li sighed inwardly.

He pondered for a moment and said, "It’s rare to encounter such an opportunity... if you enjoy ’beast anatomy,’ there will be plenty of chances in the future. If Gu Shen found out that we asked you to do this, he’d definitely scold me. Besides, this hunt is almost over; we’ll be heading back soon."

The exploration by the outer squads is basically complete.

The main forces found a camp in the primeval forest.

Hunting Beast Spirits isn’t a task that can be completed overnight...

All those Extraordinary Creatures have hidden themselves; large-scale extermination requires prolonged warfare!

"Alright..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoman regretfully sheathed her small knife.

She was quite interested in such things.

However, Xiaoman also knew Shen Li was right—

Anatomy opportunities are common, but battle opportunities are rare.

She continued to head deeper into the forest, searching for the next target to face.

After Xiaoman left, Shen Li raised his head.

He looked towards the treetops of the dense forest, sending out a spirit message: "Bai Xiu—"

Shen Li knew that Bai Xiu was not far away.

Unfortunately.

Little Iron Man’s spirit realm was far inferior to Bai Xiu’s; the forest was too quiet, making it difficult for him to find Bai Xiu’s hiding spot.

"I’m here."

Upon speaking, a gentle response sounded behind him.

Bai Xiu stood atop the giant tree behind Shen Li, then leaped down, landing steadily.

Shen Li, somewhat embarrassed, turned around: "You really didn’t need to show yourself... I was just ensuring you were here."

"I’m always here."

Bai Xiu calmly replied, "Where Xiaoman is, I am."

"Alright..."

Shen Li earnestly transmitted, "Something important, within Gu Shen’s plan, this external hunt... the Da Du Sincere Heart Association will transport a batch of supplies... the Holy City Research Institute will open its entrance."

"I know this."

Bai Xiu’s expression remained unchanged: "Transcendents from the Four Provinces will receive local supply aid; the realm gate should already be open."

"Indeed."

Shen Li seriously said, "I just received a message from Chen Mei; Transcendents from the Sincere Heart Association have arrived and are about to make an exchange. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Mr. Zhuang Su will take advantage of it to send ten ’Neutral’ members out of Sangzhou Cave... they’re carrying years of confidential local research data."

"So... you mean to send Xiaoman out as well."

Bai Xiu was smart, quickly understood.

"Exactly!"

Shen Li’s eyes lit up, lowering his voice: "But this isn’t my idea, it’s Gu Shen’s... you know, Sangzhou Cave is unpredictable, with Transcendents from the Four Provinces battling fiercely; it’s really unsafe for Xiaoman to stay here."

"Understood."

Bai Xiu nodded, always maintaining concise language and a clear attitude.

Towards the information Shen Li conveyed... he had no objection or doubt.

Because this was Gu Shen’s arrangement!

"Give me the exchange location."

Bai Xiu looked towards the direction Gu Xiaoman had departed.

"I’ll send her away."
