"S... Sir, she wants to steal our things."
As he spoke, Blitz took out an item from his bag and showed it to everyone.
When Mingka and Three saw the item, they could not help but exclaim. "The Monster Core?"
Originally, in Mingka and Three's mind, the man might have the bones, teeth, and skin of some mutated creatures.
They did not think about the Monster Core. They never thought that he would have a Monster Core.
In response, Mingka and Three could not help but look at each other. They could see the greed in each other's eyes.
Mingka coughed lightly and said, "Miss, what you're doing is wrong. They risked their lives to obtain the Monster Core from mutated creatures. If you kill the because of the Monster Core, what's the difference between you and a robber?"
"That's right. As genetic warriors, we should support each other and help each other. The reason why we came here to take risks and kill mutated creatures is to obtain valuable resources. If they come in and snatch other people's things like you. In the future, who will enter this dark forest?" After hearing Mingka's words, Three also spoke up.
"They're right. At the beginning, we tried to negotiate with her. We even thought of sharing some with her, but she didn't give us the chance to speak at all. She killed 1 of our teammates when they met."
"Our Captain and the other 2 team members were all shot to death by her in order to save me. They died very miserably."
Blitz spoke again.
When Tifa heard Blitz's words, her pretty face turned cold. She had never seen such a shameless person before.
They were clearly the ones who had spoken ill of her before she killed them.
As for Blitz saying that she wanted to snatch their Monster Core, it was completely nonsense.
With her status, how could she take a fancy to the Monster Core in their hands?
When Mingka and Three heard Blitz say that he still had another Monster Core in his hands, their eyes shone brightly, and the greed in their eyes became even more intense.
"Brother Mingka, it seems that we have to carry out justice on behalf of the heavens and kill this woman."
"Alright, let's kill her together."
After they finished speaking, Mingka retrieved his shield from the ground. He clenched his right hand into a fist and rushed toward Tifa.
Three did not hesitate when he saw Mingka make a move. He took out a dagger from his back and slashed at Tifa.
Tifa had a solemn expression when she saw them attacking her.
From the fact that they were able to block her Frost Arrows, she knew that they were strong. They were probably at least a tier 7 genetic warrior.
Hence, Tifa decided not to clash head-on with them.
She could not do that because she was not in her best condition.
In order to kill Blitz and the others, she had used too much energy. Currently, she was still able to maintain her Crystal Wings on her back because of her willpower.
The instant the 2 of them rushed toward her, Tifa immediately spread her Crystal Wings and retreated to the outer region of the dark forest behind her.
She had no choice. They blocked her way, so she could only retreat.
While retreating, Tifa murmured, "Emerson, where are you? If you don't show up, I'll die here."
...
At that crucial moment!
Emerson was leaning against a big tree, trying his best to consume the egg juice while enjoying some beast meat.
He was just enjoying his time there.
Originally, he had planned to sell the egg. However, after he absorbed the juice and obtained the Wind Elemental Fragments, he changed his mind and decided not to sell it. Instead, he decided to finish it himself.
As for the beast meat in his hand, it was the Shadow Rhino's meat. The Shadow Rhino that had chased him previously.
While Emerson was looking for Tifa, he found that the Shadow Rhino was seriously injured and was on the verge of death.
Emerson naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity.
He sneaked up to the Shadow Rhino and gave it a fatal blow.
However, after killing the Shadow Rhino, Emerson did not obtain any Monster Core from its body, which made him slightly disappointed.
However, he also understood that not every mutated creature in the dark forest had Monster Cores.
It was already good enough that he was able to kill the Shadow Rhino.
[Crimson Thunder Eagle fusion. Agility Gene: +11.]
[Shadow Rhino fusion. Physical Gene: +8.]
[Crimson Thunder Eagle fusion. Wind Elemental Fagment: +1.]
[Crimson Thunder Eagle fusion. Agility Gene: +9.]
[Shadow Rhino fusion. Physical Gene: +5.]
[...]
After he finished eating the whole egg and the meat, Emerson could not help but burp loudly, looking exceptionally satisfied.
Then, he looked at his attribute panel.
[Name: Emerson Cole
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Height: 182
Strength Gene: 446
Agility Gene: 443
Physical Gene: 435
Elemental Gene: 8 Wind Elemental Fragment
Skills: Elementary Spatial Manipulation. Elementary Flame Control. Flame Stomp.
....
Upon seeing that his strength, agility, and physical attributes had all reached 400+, Emerson was quite satisfied.
He knew very well that when all 3 attributes reached 500, he would be able to become a tier 6 all-rounded genetic warrior.
With that, when he returned to Iron City and fought with Rory Queen, he would not be afraid at all.
Even if his opponent was a tier 5 genetic warrior, he had the confidence to kill him. After all, he was a all-rounded genetic warrior, while his opponent was not.
After cleaning up the traces there, Emerson did not stay any longer. He still had to go look for Tifa.
Regarding Tifa's disappearance, Emerson also had a huge headache.
He had never thought that Tifa could run so fast. He had been chasing after her for 4 days, but he still could not find her. This made Emerson feel helpless.
However, he had no other way. He did not have anything to contact Tifa.
If he had known that Tifa could run so fast, he would have asked for a Communication Stone from the beginning. That way, even if they were separated, he would have been able to contact her.
Unlike the current situation, where he was at his wit's end.
As for whether Tifa had a Communication Stone in her hands, judging from her appearance, she should have 1.
"Forget about it. Let's just focus on finding her."
With a soft sigh, Emerson jumped down from the tree. He planned to return to the place where Tifa had been unconscious to see if she would return there.
After a few days of searching, Emerson had already run back and forth 4 times. If he still could not meet her this time, he could only walk toward the outer region.
