"We might as well stay here for now and hunt down demonic beasts during the day. There are plenty of them in the vicinity. Once we have a better understanding of the demonic beasts in this small world, we can then proceed to the next city," Baili Hongzhuang suggested, looking at Gong Shaoqing and the others to gauge their thoughts.
Xia Zhiqing nodded first, "I agree! If we move to the next city, we can leave earlier. After all, we are not clear about what kind of problems we might encounter along the way."
Bai Junyu quickly expressed his agreement as well, followed by Gong Shaoqing and Dongfang Yu, who exchanged glances and also nodded.
"Since that's the case, let's decide on it," Gong Shaoqing spoke up.
After making their decision, Baili Hongzhuang and the other five headed out of the city towards the wilderness. Hunting down demonic beasts had become their most important task now.
As they ventured out to hunt, they noticed that many other teams had the same idea as them. However, despite having the same goal, there was no communication between the different teams.
In fact, from the moment they entered the small world, they had become competitors.
As Baili Hongzhuang and the others ventured deeper into the forest, they could hear the roars of demonic beasts and occasional ambushes by them.
However, compared to yesterday, everyone's state today was evidently different. Wherever there were demonic beasts, they appeared promptly.
With an increasing number of demonic beasts slain, the team's cooperation and tacit understanding improved significantly.
Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, and Baishi were also not idle. Whenever a demonic beast appeared, they would join the battle as well.
As the three beasts showcased their strength, Baili Hongzhuang was surprised to find that the points they earned from slaying demonic beasts were also attributed to her.
Realizing this, Gong Shaoqing and the others also wore expressions of astonishment.
"The points earned by contracted beasts should be attributed to their masters," Dongfang Yu explained slowly. "But I didn't expect that the points earned by these three contracted beasts would be counted towards your total. It's quite remarkable."
Contracted beasts were well-known entities in the Holy Xuan Continent. Once a cultivator formed a contract with a contracted beast, they were considered a unified whole.
Therefore, it was normal for the points tally to include the points earned by the contracted beasts. However, normally, each cultivator could only have one contracted beast.
In theory, the points tally should only count the points of one contracted beast, but unexpectedly, the tally included the points of all three beasts.
In that case, it seemed that the rules of the points tally recognized that a cultivator could have multiple contracted beasts.
"Yeah," Xia Zhiqing exclaimed in admiration. "Hongzhuang, you're truly amazing! With three helpers, your point accumulation will definitely surpass many other cultivators."
Hearing Xia Zhiqing's words, everyone nodded in agreement. The fighting prowess of the three beasts was outstanding.
In this way, it was like having four people working together to earn points, and it was easy to imagine the quantity of points Baili Hongzhuang would accumulate.
Baili Hongzhuang's eyes also shimmered with surprise. This was something she hadn't anticipated before.
