Chapter 1349: Second Store Upgrade Quest(17)
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm The other members of the team finally had time to calm down after all the shock, and they rushed at the two unconscious members of the team.
The one who had the healing skills began to act, but the leader suddenly turned around and stated, "Don't waste your time. They have already died. It was just the remaining spiritual energy in their body."
The other members stopped upon hearing their leader. They didn't feel anything wrong with the leader's order for them to stop. Their team head wasn't cold-hearted but deeply cared for his subordinates. If there were a way to save them, the leader would be the last to give up on them.
Laney didn't speak in between, and she decided to leave. But she had only taken a step forward when the leader suddenly stood up and blocked her.
Laney's eyes were cautious, and the Yellow King was also ready to attack to give Laney even a little chance to escape.
The leader's eyes were calm as he extended his hand and grabbed Laney's hand. Laney was taken aback by the sudden situation. She immediately activated an attacking skill but suddenly stopped it when she felt her hands were wet.
Laney looked at what was in her hand and was surprised to see that it was one of the eyes of the creature.
"Since you helped me find the location of the creature and save my teammates, it is my thanks to you." The leader calmly stated this, and then, without waiting for any response from her, he walked toward the corpses of his subordinates.
Laney took a glance at the back of the leader and seemed to see the slumped shoulder. She then nodded and left; her direction was the material's location.
"Feris didn't have anyone, but Grisnil had a wife and two children. Sell it and give their share and my share to them." The leader reached the man who handled the finances of the group and ordered.
The man wanted to say something but could only sigh, looking at the team leader. He was the one who had been with the team leader the longest, so how could he not see the sadness in the leader's eyes hidden behind the calm?
"I will do it, leader." The man responded with a bow, taking the remaining eye of the creature.
The leader then glanced at the two men lying on the ground with pale faces. "I have completed your revenge," The man commented and then walked away.

Unaware of the scenes playing out, Laney left the area at a quick pace. When the man gave the creature's eye to her, she sensed the sincerity in his voice when he thanked her. He had given the creature's eyes to her in front of everyone, so Laney didn't know if any team members would come after her.
After running for hours, she finally reached the location. A dumbstruck expression appeared on her face when she saw the endless quantity of the Destrun.
The Destrun was blue in color, and depending on its purity, the color darkened.
There were mountains after mountains of Destruns in the area. Some of the mountains were solely made of dark blue, which almost looked like Black, showing their purity.
But a frown suddenly appeared on her face as her thinking became clear and she was no longer greedy.
Having that much Destrun despite its value and not very strong visible protection could only mean one thing: there was something wrong there. Laney immediately grew cautious and looked around, but no matter how she tried, she failed to see anything. She even used the Yellow King's abilities, and the situation turned out to be nothing strange.
Considering those factors, there were two situations. The first was that there was nothing amiss there, and it was all Laney's imagination. The second was that Laney wasn't strong enough to see the peculiarities of the area.
Although Laney had the option of leaving the area, her efforts over the previous month would be in vain. At the same time, the second location, per the requirements of Destrun's appearance, was very far away from her and would take years to travel there.
"There are no gains without risks," Laney mumbled to herself to feel confident, and then she stepped inside the range of the first mountain of Destrun.
The amount of Destrun in front of her was worth taking the risk of death. If she were to get hold of even one-fourth of the total material there, she would earn a windfall of money in the Sacred Dimension despite the outrageous exchange rate of five thousand percent.
"Huh!" Laney suddenly exclaimed in surprise as the view in front of her immediately changed as soon as she stepped inside the range.
The abundance of Destrun was still there. To be precise, the quantity had grown tenfold, making it endless. As far as her eyes could see, there was Destrun.
But Laney noticed that at the bottom of every mountain, a beast unrecognizable to her was sleeping. The darker the color of the material, the stronger the beast guarding it.
After sleeping inside, Laney found herself near a mountain of purest Destrun. As soon as she looked at the sleeping beast, her hair rose in fright.
Forget the confidence of survival; Laney didn't even believe that she would be able to survive for a second in front of the beast.
Laney then began searching for a lighter color material, so she could defeat the beast and grab the material. As for whether the pattern was as she had guessed, she wasn't confident, but things could only be found after trying.
After searching for a while, she finally came across a beast that she felt was winnable.
As soon as Laney stepped into the radius of a hundred meters around the mountain's bottom, the beast suddenly woke up and looked at her. It immediately growled in anger toward Laney. It was understandable; no one liked someone interrupting their sleep.
Laney also attacked, and the two clashed. Her knife slashed through the beast's eyes, while the beast tried to rip Laney's neck.
Laney turned out to be the quicker and stronger of the two, so she succeeded in the attack before the beast.
