C9 Spirit-type Energy Crystal

"Splash..."

In addition to their miserable cries, the sounds of blood splashing from a proximate battle between the Night Bats and Cockroaches resonated.

Perhaps, he could take advantage of that.

The Energy Crystals of the Night Bats belonged to the spirit type, which was exactly the kind Yang Tian needed.

However, Yang Tian didn't bring along the mutant pig. It was too huge and massive to conceal itself.

Taking out a shield and a Tang Saber, Yang Tian turned into a black shadow and vanished into the night.

On the battlefield ahead, a blood cockroach emerged from the thirteen dried corpses on the ground and attacked the Night Bats in the sky.

If one closely assessed the corpses on the ground, he'd notice their skin was covered with red insect eggs.

Of the few new corpses, Hu Jun's and his friends' were not among them. They undoubtedly took advantage of the chaos to hide.

Although the Night Bats and Blood Ant were level-1 creatures, they were societal and possessed the ability to kill level-3 creatures.

The Blood Ant found an opportunity to drill into a Night Bat's body and eat its flesh. Synchronously, another Night Bat continuously released sound waves which instantly hit the Blood Ant. In a flash, it was being crushed under the Night Bat's sharp claws.

Even though one of the Night Bats had its body pierced by the Blood Ant, the other Night Bat did not hesitate to attack its companion. The oblivious sound wave struck the injured Night Bat's body killing it alongside the Blood Ant.

When the Night Bat's corpse fell to the left, three meters away from Yang Tian, he concealed his figure and slowly approached it. He used the Tang Saber to take out the Energy Crystal from the Night Bat's head.

Spirit-type Energy Crystal.

Creatures like the Blood Ant lacked Energy Crystals, but their corpses were highly valuable in an alchemist's hands. The higher the Blood Ants' level, the greater its value.

Among the abilities awakened by humans, a portion of them were non-combat. For instance; alchemists, weapon refiners and rune masters.

Alchemists, as their name suggested, had the ability to refine pills. Regardless of whether they could refine red or blue pills or increase one's abilities, they were sought after by many humans in the late apocalypse.

Weapon refiners could forge many powerful weapons and thus they were enshrined by many forces.

Runic Masters were the most mysterious of the three. Although they didn't have battle-power, the weird runes they crafted were terrifying, retaining a great destructive power.

The destructive power of a Lord Level Runic Master was even more terrifying than the destructive power of an Epic creature.

To Yang Tian, the corpses of the Blood Ants were useless. His main goal was the Night Bat's spirit type Energy Crystals.

After Yang Tian finished collecting ten Energy Crystals, he immediately left the place. Greed often brought a bad ending, so it was best to be contented.

Whilst they continued fighting, Yang Tian chose to leave.

However, when Yang Tian returned to his manor, he found that something was wrong.

'You want to occupy my manor while I'm away?'

Obviously, when Hu Jun and Lee Sikai found out that Yang Tian wasn't in the manor, they secretly brought the remaining students to hide in its warehouse.

Even though the mutant hog did not notice them, it didn't mean that Yang Tian would not know.

Since all his food were stored in the warehouse, Yang Tian decided to call over the mutant hog. This time, he was really intent on killing them.

"Bam!"

The door of the warehouse was kicked open by Yang Tian. At this moment, they were eating the stored biscuits and mineral water.

The cold aura emanating from Yang Tian's body made the students who were secretly eating shiver fretfully. Feeling Yang Tian's anger, the mutant hog roared loudly.

"What... what do you want?" Hu Jun said with a trembling voice.

As if trapped in an ice cave, the icy cold air was almost completely freezing him.

Swish!

The scimitar in Yang Tian's hand shot out explosively towards Hu Jun. He didn't have the chance to react as it directly pierced through his heart.

However, since Hu Jun was a level-1 flame warrior, he didn't die instantly.

Lee Sikai, who was beside him, did not expect that the owner of the manor would actually want to kill them just over some food.

However, he didn't know how many lives this little bit of food could be exchanged for in the apocalypse. In Yang Tian's eyes, even if all of them added up, they wouldn't be as valuable.

"You have successfully angered me!"

As if Yang Tian's legs had turned into springs, he shot from the spot where he stood towards the dying Hu Jun. Consecutively, the Tang Saber in his hand swung towards Hu Jun's head.

A hit to the heart couldn't instantly kill him, but one through the brain certainly would.

At the same exact moment, Lee Sikai came to his senses. Relying on the speed of a cheetah warrior, he was able to successfully block Yang Tian's attack, causing the Tang Saber to vanish in the warehouse.

"Can you please hear me out..."

Lee Sikai was interjected when Yang Tian's foot connected to his stomach.

Bam!

The powerful strike caused him to stumble a few steps back, face flushed red.

Yang Tian waved the machete which was about to have an intimate contact with Hu Jun's neck.

"Wait... Wait a minute."

Seeing the drastic development of the situation, the originally petrified teacher gathered enough courage, stepped forward and pleaded.

However, her words clearly couldn't stop Yang Tian's movements.

Out of Yang Tian's expectations, the teacher suddenly threw herself at Yang Tian. Her clumsy movements did not harm Yang Tian, and a simple turn of his body made the poor woman fall to the ground.

"We really couldn't do anything, that's why we came to steal food. We will compensate you. Please let us go!"

When Yang Tian stopped what he was doing, the teacher thought that her words had an effect, so she immediately added:

"We are sorry for stealing your food. We will definitely pay you back later on."

However, Yang Tian did not reply to the teacher's words. Instead, he looked at her ID card that had dropped to the ground.

"Your name is Guan Qingxue." Yang Tian's voice trembled slightly.

"Yes... my name is Guan Qingxue."

"Do you have a student named Hsiao Meiyi and a boyfriend named Duo Liang?" Yang Tian grabbed Guan Qingxue's shoulders and asked with an excited expression.

Guan Qingxue, such a familiar name! No wonder he felt that she looked familiar at first sight.

In his previous life, when Yang Tian first saw Guan Qingxue, her face was full of scars and she wasn't as attractive as she was now. At that time, Yang Tian was only a Level-2 Beast Trainer, while Guan Qingxue was a Level-5 Dark Night Assassin.

Guan Qingxue had saved Yang Tian's life countless times, but she never asked for anything in return. He didn't know how he got so lucky.

During a chat with Guan Qingxue, Yang Tian found out about what she had been through since the apocalypse. Her student, Hsiao Meiyi, had died under the mouth of the Red-shelled Beetle to protect her. Her boyfriend, Duo Liang, had handed her over to a small Demon Hunt Group in order to get some food.

She had suffered a lot in the Demon Hunt Group, but when they were carrying out a mission, all the members got killed, so Guan Qingxue managed to escape.
