Everyone who was still in deep discussion about how to search for Fatty Yu immediately froze. Wasn't that Fatty Yu's voice?
They all turned to look in the direction of the voice.
A plump boy was using his short and fat legs to run over quickly. There was a large gunny sack in his hands and his head was covered in perspiration, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
He looked like a little dog looking for a compliment as he ran to Yun Qingyan and held his hands out as gem cores rapidly fell out from the gunny sack to form a small little mountain.
The bright red color of the gem cores hurt everyone's eyes.
"Oh my god, there has to be at least a hundred of them here!"
"Did he rob a giant dragon's nest or something?!"
The rest of the team exclaimed in surprise, staring in disbelief.
"Boss Yun, you're really amazing!" The little meatball was so excited that he wanted to pounce on Yun Qingyan to give her a big bear hug, but she stepped aside and avoided his pounce.
He wasn't bothered by Yun Qingyan's reaction. Fatty Yu smiled brightly as he pointed to the mountain of gem cores on the ground. "I listened to your instructions and dug a really deep trench at the hole, then put in some Dizzying Grass. The Cloud Brocade Rabbits really jumped into the trench and lost consciousness." He scratched his head a little awkwardly while he explained.
"But too many Cloud Brocade Rabbits jumped in and I couldn't finish clearing all of them, so some of them managed to get away. But there should be at least a hundred of them here."
What? Cloud Brocade Rabbits? At least a hundred of them?!
Everyone's mouth fell open in shock.
Cloud Brocade Rabbits weren't high-level Magical Beasts and weren't very strong in attack power, but they were infamous for being difficult to capture.
Otherwise, Cloud Brocade Rabbit leather and fur wouldn't be sold at such exorbitant prices in the market.
They managed to capture at least a hundred Cloud Brocade Rabbits. Did they… did they rob a Cloud Brocade Rabbit nest?
They had guessed it right this time. Yun Qingyan and Fatty Yu had ambushed a Cloud Brocade Rabbit nest.
Yun Qingyan looked at the pile of sparkly gem cores, but she wasn't jumping for joy like Fatty Yu was.
Cloud Brocade Rabbits lived in a group. They had poor attack power and were at the bottom of the food chain, so besides being extra careful, they also liked to gather together in large numbers. No matter how many of them gathered together, a nest should only have a maximum of 40 or 50 Cloud Brocade Rabbits. Why were there more than a hundred of them?
Additionally, the team had been moving steadily towards the middle section of the Forest of No Return, but they had run into very few Magical Beasts. Now, they were very close to the middle section, but they hadn't come across many Magical Beasts that were equivalent to Earth Elementalists. That was very strange indeed.
For some reason, Yun Qingyan felt that this thing had something to do with the opportunity to unlock the Magic Ring's Forbidden Zone that Xiaoxuan talked about. When she thought about this, her heart couldn't help but sink.
"Boss Yun? Boss Yun?" When Fatty Yu noticed that Yun Qingyan seemed to be out of it, he waved a hand in front of her and continued talking, "I didn't know what to do with the leather and fur of the Cloud Brocade Rabbits, so I just placed them inside my storage ring. Do you want them now?"
His storage ring was filled to the brim, so he had no choice but to come back with a bag full of gem cores first.
"I'll leave the leather and fur with you first." Yun Qingyan nodded slightly. "You can take half the gem cores too."
"That…" Fatty Yu felt bad to do that and replied a little sheepishly, "Isn't that a bit too much? I'll just take a few." He hadn't done anything. The only thing he did was to wait at the trench for the Cloud Brocade Rabbits to hop in by themselves, then kill them off one by one after they had been knocked out by the Dizzying Grass.
All the work of looking for their rabbit holes and blocking them was done by Yun Qingyan, so how could he feel good about taking so many gem cores?
The rest of the team were looking at Fatty Yu with both terrible jealously and envy, and they also couldn't believe how hopeless this boy was. Who would be upset with having too much? They looked at these Third Stage gem cores and wished they were Fatty Yu and were more than happy to unleash a big attack with Yun Qingyan now.
Unfortunately, they could only beat their chests and regret their earlier actions.
This pile of Third Stage gem cores added up to more than their entire morning's effort.
