Long Su made his ways in other direction of the Silver Wing hunting group
The skeletal soldiers steadily retreated in unison while their unblinking fire ghostly eyes gazes locked upon the Silver Wings Hunting Group.
Huang Kun, the Druid, quizzed Cai Yan about the whereabouts of the corpse, her grip tightening around the magic core. "Where is the body's?"
From the depths of the forest, Long Su's voice echoed, "You honestly believe an undead lord would leave a perfectly good corpse to waste? How naive."
Enraged by the necromancer's taunting, Huang Kun ground her teeth. "What an utter waste of resources! Imagine the potential benefits to our tamed wolves. We could've utilized it to bolster our forces."," she bemoaned.
With her plans in shambles, she knew she'd need to scout new territories for alternative magical beasts to bolster their ranks.
Cai Yan, ever the level-headed leader, consoled her distraught teammate, "Don't despair, Huang Kun. I promise to locate another suitable wolf-like beast for your tamed wolf to absorb."
As they ventured onward, Huang Kun grumbled, discontent etched upon her face. "You're far too forgiving, Sister Yan. People like Long Su should be put in their place!"
Cai Yan, exuding composure, offered wise words in response: "True leaders must always consider the needs of the entire group. Petty conflicts mustn't cloud our judgment."
With her decisive guidance, the Silver Wings Hunting Group continued on their journey, navigating a new path away from Long Su's ominous presence.
Unknown to cai Yan who wa sleading the team to move away from this palce the eyes of Huang Kun and Tian Rong looked at her coldly from the back

For long su, he takes his skeleton army far away in the opposite direction, heading toward the exit of the forest.
gained two beginner-level magic cores, and his space ring has almost a hundred beginner-level monster bodies. In total, he could get 10 magic stones.
He could now return to the outpost to redeem the mission reward of clearing the monsters, especially for the peak soldier-level- black skin wolf.
He can get 3 magic stones for killing it.
What pity for these pretty girls. Long susmacked his lips.
He had no fate with these brainless girls at all.
But it doesn't matter. Women and so on are not currently within the scope of long-term consideration.
There is nothing ugly about professional women.
As long as they are strong enough and have money, there is nothing wrong with women.
When his strength is insufficient, good-looking women will only affect the speed of his spellcasting.
It has been almost a week since I came out this time. I have gained a lot, and Long Su is ready to turn around.

Long su returned to the outpost, provided the photos in the camera, and sold all the loot in the space.
The hunting trip has officially ended.
For this week, get 17 magic stones.
If he was with a hunting group, his share can only be considered as 3 or 5 magic stones.
Being your own boss means you can make more money than working part-time.
Holding the magic stones in his hands long, Su could feel the strong energy inside them.
You can use it as pure energy to increase your level or your units, or even put it in the ground to help the ground cultivate potions plants.
This pure energy can be used in anything you can think about.
Even the building in the lord's territory can be built with the magic stones.
For now, he doesn't need to use the magic stones.
After selling everything, long su rent a room in one of the many hotels in the outposts.
Even though it's a normal house, for now it's enough for him.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
Long Su, reclining in a hotel within the bustling beast city, stirred from his meditative state.
For the past two months, he had adopted a repetitive yet rewarding routine—by day, he stalked the forest, honing his hunting prowess, and by night, he retreated to the city or outpost to reflect and meditate.
His contemplative sessions extended beyond the realm of self-reflection.
They served as fertile ground for concocting ingenious spells, poring over runic configurations in pursuit of heightened casting speed.
Summoning his property panel to assess his progress, Long Su perused his updated statistics:
Name: Long Su
Bloodline: Human Race/Empty
Level: 3
Strength: 25
Physique: 27
Agility: 25
Mental Strength: 24/24
Magic Power: 50/50
Skills: Cemetery of Life, Eye of Distance, Bone Arrows, Bone Fragments, Bone Shield
——————-
Despite his unwavering dedication and the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of faith points over the past month, his strength had only increased by a marginal two to three points.
His painstakingly slow progress cast a shadow of frustration over him.
Although he knew he could rely on enchanted artifacts or enchanted potions to accelerate his progress, he heeded his teacher's sage advice—maintaining a pure and unaltered form was paramount.
He dared not compromise his integrity for the sake of rapid advancement.
And he even died learning newspells because he just didn't feel that he needed to learn anything new.
What he has now can help him attack, defend, and group attack.
Comparing his progress to that of his fellow students puts his accomplishments into perspective.
In less than half a year, he had transitioned from an ordinary high school student, fresh from achieving enlightenment, to a budding power to be reckoned with.
Long Su departed from the hotel and ventured towards the bustling train station.
Upon purchasing his ticket and enduring a brief wait, he joined the throng of travelers passing through the portal, whisking him away to the familiar realm of Blue Star.
Winter's icy grip held Blue Star firmly within its grasp, while the spirited atmosphere of the New Year festivities painted the world in a kaleidoscope of twinkling lights and vivid colors.
The creation of the New Year vestibule emerged as a symbol of hope following Blue Star's connection to the treacherous dungeons and relentless invasions from otherworldly creatures.
It served as an annual reminder of humanity's enduring spirit, a testament to their resilience and determination to overcome adversity.
In Sederth city, the New Year atmosphere was palpable. Festive decorations adorned every corner, their luminescence piercing through the winter gloom.
Long Su's homecoming to North City marked his first return since embarking on his university journey. However, his anticipation was met with a somber reality.
The Chen family, once a steadfast presence in his life, had moved on to another city.
Chen Gang, had been reassigned to a different defense area a month prior, leaving the house in a state of profound emptiness.
The loneliness was suffocating, prompting Long Su to escape the solitude of his home after only a few days.
Unable to find solace within its walls, he sought to quell the discomfort in his heart by embarking on a new journey, his sights set on forging a path that would bring him closer to the connections he yearned for.
Long Su returned to the familiarity of his academic surroundings, gifts in hand, as he sought out his mentor to pay his respects for the New Year.
Professor Mo, dedicated as ever, had remained within the confines of the university laboratory throughout the holiday, his passion for research transforming the lab into a home away from home.
As they exchanged pleasantries, Professor Mo inquired about Long Su's progress.
Upon learning of his student's acquisition of over 1,000 beginner-level soldier skeletons, the seasoned scholar couldn't help but express his astonishment.
Even he had yet to command such a force at Long Su's age.
"It appears you've made quite the fortune in the new world," Professor Mo jested, knowing full well that advancing one's forces demanded considerable resources.
Professor Mo is thinking here that Long Su used the magic stones to increase his unit's strength; this is normal thinking forever.
But no one knew that all his DaQin units could increase their level through battles only. Long Su felt a prickle of unease.
Despite his efforts to maintain a semblance of normality, his rapid progress had already set him apart from his peers.
Still, caution dictated that he keep his full hand concealed.
"Merely a student's modest earnings," he demurred.
Sensing the depths of Long Su's potential, Professor Mo imparted two invaluable spells to further enhance his abilities.
"Focus not only on your units' strength but also on your own. Study these diligently, new year gifts," he instructed, unveiling the scrolls in his hand.
