Thank you for the gifts of nature.
Looking at Xia Youhui limping over with a Heavy Shield in tow, Chen Chu asked with concern, "Old Xia, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, just landed awkwardly a moment ago. I'll be okay after circulating my blood and energy back home." As he spoke, Xia Youhui became excited.
"I didn't expect that before we even reached the second year, we would slay a third-level mutated beast."
Liu Feng, who had walked over, reached out to touch the corpse of the black bull, feeling its toughness and exclaimed, "These mutated creatures are just so extraordinary; just a black bull mutation is this strong."
Bai Mu, feeling a bit frustrated after being knocked away, sighed, "Compared to us human cultivators, these mutated beasts have far too many advantages in every aspect."
"With their immense strength, thick skin, and those abilities that are akin to superpowers."
"In contrast, we humans are inferior in almost every way except for our agility. If it weren't for deriving true martial techniques, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Li Hao said solemnly, "Because of this, the authorities have spent countless manpower and resources cleaning up mutated beasts for decades, aiming to suppress their growth."
Chen Chu nodded in agreement, "Indeed, if these mutated beasts continue to grow, the dangers to humanity will become increasingly severe."
Just a single mutated black bull is already so formidable; the strength of mutated tigers or explosive bears would be even more terrifying once they undergo mutation.
Without true martial techniques and various weapons, humans would not stand a chance against these mutated beasts of the same level.
However, while mutated beasts on land can be suppressed by humans, what about those massive creatures deep in the sea? Upon thinking of this, Chen Chu felt a vague sense of unease.
At that moment, Xia Youhui suddenly said, "A Chu, you contributed the most to taking down this mutated beast. If it weren't for you severing its hind legs, we wouldn't have been able to handle it at all."
"I think you should take 60%, and the rest of us can split the remaining 40%." As a good friend, he first considered Chen Chu.
Upon hearing this division, both Liu Feng and Bai Mu, who were on the same team, nodded in agreement.
They indeed did not put in much effort, so they had no objections to this division.
"This division is very reasonable." Li Hao also had no objections.
"Isn't this a bit too much?" Chen Chu hesitated; he initially intended to take 40% since Xia Youhui had been knocked away twice.
Xia Youhui shrugged it off, "What's there to fight over for a third-level mutated beast? If we turn it in to the school, it's only worth 20 contribution points."
"Speaking of which, I have a suggestion." Li Hao looked at the four of them, "This mutated beast is useful in many ways, from its metal-like skin, nourishing flesh and blood, to its four horns and bones."
"If these were sold on the market, they would fetch at least 500,000."
"500,000? That's quite a price difference." Chen Chu was a bit surprised.
20 contribution points might fetch around a few thousand in the black market, and the official price would be even more ridiculous, with a difference of over twenty times.
Liu Feng sighed, "There's no helping it; contribution points can be exchanged for resources, and just this point alone makes its actual value very high."
"However, Li Hao is right; the price of this mutated beef is quite high in the market, and powdered bones are favorites among the wealthy. Eating it can strengthen bones and boost health."
"Moreover, the skin is also valuable; it can be used to produce high-end luxury goods or special armor, overall making its worth indeed exceed 500,000."
Li Hao continued, "Today, everyone gained quite a bit of contribution points, and losing a few isn't a big deal, so I'd like to buy this mutated black bull at market price with cash."
"I'm not sure if everyone can give me face?"
Liu Feng looked at Li Hao and seemed to ponder, "I remember you practice the advanced technique, true bull demon mountain shaking technique, right? You want to refine this mutated beast's essence blood."
