The team was now no longer advancing towards the centre of the Elemental Sacred land and just roamed the outer layer in circles in search of for more resources. They had already found Soul seeds fragments worth twenty million in the last couple of hours.
However that wasn't enough for Cao Guang as he had spent more than a hundred million on the information even after reselling every useful bit.
He was in search of spirit grade seeds atleast. Another person just as invested in the trip now was Yan Liling, she had yet to buy a spirit grade seed of Earth element. If she found one here it would save her about four million.
"There are a couple of Warrior level Ferocious Gale Alligators fighting up ahead, there is a strong concentration of the Earth element there as well, there might be a Spirit grade seeds over there"
Yan Liling brought the group to the area as they prepared to attack the alligators as stealthily as they could.
However, the alligators sense of perception was far better than Yan Liling's as they stopped the fight and was more than prepared to fight them.
Cao Guang casted the dimensional Summoning as Fenrir emerged from the lunar white gate for the umpteenth time. Fenrir and the Giant Thunder Hawk fought one as the entire group fought off the second alligator.
A resource like Spirit grade seeds attracted demon beasts regardless where it was and needed to be dealt with quickly. They had no time to loose. Besides other Ferocious Gale Alligators would be on guard if they sensed large amount of elements other than Wind and Earth nearby.
The group managed to kill the Warriors in less than a minute thanks to the Summoned beasts.
They only had a single container capable of holding a Soul seed with them, so they opted for an alternative as they let Yan Liling attempt at acquiring the spirit grade seed in exchange for a debt of four million.
"We need her to hurry up, My Thunder Hawk sensed other Alligators rushing over here" Nie Huan spoke softly to warn everyone.
"Give her another minute and be ready to run" said Cao Guang as everyone other than Nie Huan and Yan Liling climbed on Fenrir's back.
Yan Liling opened her eyes just as soon as they could see the Gale Alligators in the vicinity as she accelerated herself with her Wind trail and climbed aboard Fenrir.
The furious crawlers used their skills to send pulses of wind at the legs of Fenrir as blooded gashed left a wound.

The team had traversed ten kilometres in the past half hour escaping from different packs of Alligators and Apes as they drew one after the other due to the use of magic.
Cao Guang had long sent Fenrir back as the wolf was no longer in any shape to run. He was lucky the entire leg wasn't chopped off there and then.
They had taken refuge in a cave on a small hill and were nursing their wounds and recovering their spiritual energy.
The cave had hard smooth floor and sharp walls with rocks protuding out of the walls. The team had to tip toe around when it got narrower. It also had strong presence of Earth element.
After they rested they went deeper in search of the elemental presence. Much to their suprise found no beasts prowling around even when the cave got larger and the strength of the earth element grew exponentially stronger.
They had only gone five hundred metres in as they reached the end. That's when the presence of Earth was strongest but the road had come to an end.
"That's it? Then where is the Elemental energy coming from? Do we had to dig through the walls?" Nie Huan asked impatiently.
"We might as well try, the energy levels are insane. Besides more Ferocious Gale Alligators and Apes are reaching the sacred land we don't have much room to search for resources and there are no monsters here".
"Yeah, but if they come in then we are boxed in with no where to go" Yao Nan sighed "it's your call" he said looking at Cao Guang.
"We'll dig for half an hour, after that we are leaving the sacred land entirety"
"Why? We could still try to find some more resources in the periphery right?" Zhu Li asked.
She was the most unwilling to leave early, her primary was Earth and the elemental energy was really tempting her.
