Chapter 2552: Chapter 2553: Wait a Little Longer?
Yue Chushui: "..."
These three people understood well that his sister was holding him back from leaving because she didn’t want those onlookers to end up with the spoils.
The fence-sitting trio signaled that they totally understood that!
If they started chopping now, they could still get some good stuff. But if they didn’t move at all, they’d end up with nothing.
The demon’s scales and bones are great materials for alchemy, and they could fetch a lot of herbs outside!
"Chushui, since Captain Liu and his team don’t want to deal with the demon, you go ahead."
Lin Caisang glanced at the hesitant Captain Liu and his team, then spoke to Yue Chushui.
"Alright."
Yue Chushui responded and charged towards the Piqing Beast.
"Captain, should we join in?"
A member of Captain Liu’s team couldn’t resist the temptation, seeing that Sui Zimo and others had already engaged.
That was a Piqing Beast—even just a few scales would be worth it.
Would they really watch all these become the spoils of another team, while they gained nothing at all?
"Yeah, Captain, should we join in too? The Piqing Beast is quite tough to handle. We should lend them a hand." Another person, eyeing the Piqing Beast, suggested eagerly.
"Wait, let’s wait a bit more."
Captain Liu kept his eyes on the Piqing Beast and those dealing with it, aware of how dangerous it was.
How could he take on such a risky task?
One small mistake and he’d lose his life—money or life, he’d obviously choose the latter. Life can’t afford risks.
Hearing Captain Liu’s words, Lin Caisang was almost amused.
Wait a bit more?
Were these people waiting for the Piqing Beast to be nearly defeated, only to swoop in and pretend to help, and get a share of the loot?
They had some nerve dreaming like that!
He seemed an honest guy before, but who knew he was so wicked inside!
"Wait a bit more?"
She turned her cold gaze towards Captain Liu and his men.
"Captain Liu, are you waiting for it to become less dangerous before making a move?" she asked.
"Uh!"
Captain Liu was taken aback by her words, almost losing his breath.
That’s what he thought, but being called out in front of everyone was something else entirely.
"I see your team is handling the Piqing Beast easily, so I thought you might not need our help, Captain Lin, right?"
Biting the bullet, he dared not entertain thoughts of snagging benefits, choosing instead to clear distinctions, all while hoping they might call for help if overwhelmed.
Then they’d have their moment to shine.
"Indeed, I’m well aware of how skilled my team is."
Lin Caisang replied bluntly, unwilling to let anyone gain undue advantages from her.
"Captain Liu, you’re honestly generous, not fighting my team for the spoils. I must thank you for your courtesy."
Then she turned, eyes on the Piqing Beast, as her spirit whip lashed out again, pulling back those fallen in front of the Shining Eye Beast.
’Thud, thud, thud.’
With the sound of heavy thuds, a team of seven was thrown onto the ground nearby.
