Chapter 104: It’s Not That Easy

Area 268 was indeed very far. If Zhou Hao ran at full speed, he would be able to arrive quickly. However, since he was traveling with Xu Ling and Zhang Yi, he naturally could not expose his strength and could only travel slowly.

After nearly 50 minutes, they finally arrived at the edge of Area 268.

“Phew, I’m so tired. Let’s rest for a while!” Xu Ling opened her helmet. Her forehead was covered in sweat, and her hair was also wet.

The weather was hot, and it was even hotter for them since they were wearing armor. Even though there was an automatic cooling system inside the armor, it still consumed energy. Unless one couldn’t stand it anymore, it usually wouldn’t be activated.

Zhou Hao handed Xu Ling a bottle of water. “Wash your face. It’ll be cooler.”

Xu Ling rolled her eyes. “Do you really think that I’m that extravagant?”

“Don’t worry, I brought a lot of water!” Zhou Hao smiled.

“Did you replace all your food with water?” Xu Ling was stunned and could not help but ask.

Zhou Hao nodded. “That’s right.”

Xu Ling was very speechless. “We’ll be staying in the wilderness for a few days this time. Aren’t you afraid of being hungry if you don’t bring food?”

Zhang Yi said, “It’s fine, I brought a lot.”

How could Xu Ling not know that Zhou Hao and Zhang Yi had already discussed this beforehand? One of them only brought water, and the other only brought food. She shook her head and said, “I’m really impressed by the two of you!”

Zhou Hao swept his gaze around and pointed at a hill about 300 to 400 meters away. “Let’s go over and rest. The ancient trees and weeds here are dense, so our vision is poor!”

“Sure.”

The three of them stood up again and quickened their footsteps to the back of a low hill.

Just as they arrived and were about to rest, Zhang Yi suddenly said in surprise, “Xu Ling, Zhou Hao, look. Isn’t that the Triangular Purple Pattern Scorpion under the stone?”

Xu Ling and Zhou Hao hurriedly looked at the stone Zhang Yi was pointing at.

With this sweep, they immediately saw a palm-sized scorpion below. This scorpion was purple in color and had triangular patterns on its back. It was very obvious in the shadow of the stone.

“It’s really a Triangular Purple Pattern Scorpion?!” Xu Ling was pleasantly surprised.

“Quick, catch it. Don’t let it escape!” Zhou Hao hurriedly reminded. At the same time, he smiled in his heart. He had not wasted the 300 luck points for nothing.

Just now, he did not choose a random place to rest. Instead, he had chosen this hill after spending his luck points.

Without hesitation, Zhang Yi pounced towards the shadow of the rock.

However, the Triangular Purple Pattern Scorpion seemed to have sensed the commotion and its figure jumped out at lightning speed.

Xu Ling immediately shouted anxiously, “Zhang Yi, quick, don’t let it enter the hole. The Triangular Purple Pattern Scorpion is best at burrowing. Once it enters, it’ll be very difficult for us to catch it again.”

As she shouted, she ran up from the side to stop it.

However, Zhou Hao was even faster than her. With a roll and pounce, he happened to land on the spot where the Triangular Purple Pattern Scorpion was headed towards.

Xu Ling smiled and praised, “Not bad, you’re good at finding opportunities.”

Zhou Hao pursed his lips. “This is called talent.”

“Don’t get cocky just because I compliment you.” Xu Ling rolled her eyes in a pretty manner. Then, her watery eyes stared at the Triangular Purple Pattern Scorpion.

Zhang Yi walked over and his gaze moved to the scorpion. He could not help but take a deep breath and say, “I heard that the materials of a Triangular Purple Pattern Scorpion can be used to make a top-grade supplementary medicinal pill. I wonder if it’s true?”

“Of course it’s true.” Xu Ling’s cold and beautiful face was red and filled with joy and excitement. “After drying it and grinding it into powder, you can add it to the pill refinement. It can increase the quality of the pill by one to two levels. It’s very expensive.”

At this point, she sighed and looked at her wrist. “We just arrived in Area 268 and encountered a rare creature like the Triangular Purple Pattern Scorpion. Looks like the lucky bracelet can really increase luck.”

Zhang Yi’s eyes lit up. He could not help but ask, “Xu Ling, how much can this Triangular Purple Pattern Scorpion be sold for?”

“At least 500,000,” Xu Ling said without thinking.

“What? 500,000?” Zhang Yi’s eyes widened.

Zhou Hao handed the Triangular Purple Pattern Scorpion to Xu Ling. “Take it.”

Xu Ling glanced at Zhou Hao. “You were the one who caught it. It’s naturally yours.”

Zhou Hao chuckled and said, “What’s there to distinguish between the two of us? Isn’t what’s mine yours?”

Slap!!

Xu Ling kicked Zhou Hao. “Screw you. You want to get beat up again?”

Only then did Zhou Hao say in all seriousness, “It’s useless for me to hold on to it. Your family manufactures medicine. This thing is useful for you.”

“Alright, I’ll keep it first. We’ll split it when we get back.” Xu Ling hesitated for a moment and placed the Triangular Purple Pattern Scorpion into her armor bag.

“Since we’ve gotten a good start, let’s continue. We might even be able to find something better!” Zhou Hao suggested.

Xu Ling shook her head. “It’s not that easy.”
