The floating skateboard made a sudden stop, and Yu Chuan landed steadily at the entrance of the Soul Beast Nest.

He took a deep breath, letting the Gang Qi circulate within his body, adjusting his state to the best.

"I'm going in."

"Go ahead, don't be afraid of death, we've got plenty of time, we'll wait outside." The captain poked his head out from the side of the boulder, giving him a thumbs up from afar, flashing a bright, glowing smile.

Yu Chuan returned the thumbs up and turned to enter the nest.

As soon as he stepped into the passage again, he sensed something amiss.

The mycelium network on the walls was more active than last time, emitting a dangerous red glow.

He lightened his steps, allowing Gang Qi to form a thin isolating layer on his surface to prevent his aura from leaking.

Returning to the spacious area where he had placed the Soul Beast Seed earlier, Yu Chuan did not rush in this time.

He quietly circled to the front of the nearest Soul Beast Seed, concentrating Gang Qi under his feet, continuously compressing it.

Then he opened the Trading House and spent 350 sacrificial power points to purchase a Wind Pill.

As for the side effects, he didn't care.

As long as the theft succeeded, it was a victory.

The pill melted immediately upon entry, transforming into a pungent heat flow rushing through his limbs and bones.

In an instant, his body filled with an invisible force, each pore exuding pale cyan cyclones.

Yu Chuan held his breath, compressing the Gang Qi underfoot, crouching down like a fully drawn bowstring.

Once ready, he leapt up abruptly, grabbing a Soul Beast Egg. Before his body landed, he released the Gang Qi to push sideways, propelling his body horizontally.

Instantly, dozens of scarlet eyes opened simultaneously in the mycelium network on the ceiling of the cave.

Knowing he was exposed, Yu Chuan released all the Gang Qi in his body, shooting like an arrow toward the cave entrance after landing.

The Soul Slaves in the nest let out ear-piercing shrieks, and the mycelium network filling the cave instantly lit up.

His right hand turned claw-like, firmly gripping the Soul Beast Seed, while his left hand released an Energy Blade condensed from Gang Qi to force back the pouncing Soul Slaves.

Then he sprinted through the narrow passage.

The Soul Slaves behind him were relentless, their sharp claws tearing open rips in his Black Cloth Clothes as they grazed his back.

But with the Wind Pill's blessing, he wasn't at much of a speed disadvantage.

As he drew closer to the cave entrance, Yu Chuan roared, abruptly accelerating his sprint, then leapt out straight towards the cave exit.

As soon as his body flew out of the cave, Yu Chuan hurled the Soul Beast Egg forward.

"Catch it!"

The waiting teammates sprang into action at once.

The leading captain decisively released the Star Shifting Soul towards him, and after Teleportation, raised a giant shield, slamming it to the ground.

The Taunt Attribute was unleashed in an instant, forcibly attracting all the Soul Slaves rushing from the cave, launching an attack on him.

The assassin player in the team turned into a shadow, precisely executing Soul Slaves from the perimeter of the Taunt range with dual daggers.

One pudgy teammate twisted his body, transforming into a giant Black Armored Snake, crashing down towards the captain's location like a mountain's weight.

The captain had just leapt aside.

BOOM!

Accompanied by a loud bang, a swath of Soul Slaves was crushed to death.

Yu Chuan rolled, shedding the Star Shifting inertia, lunging to catch the nearly ground-bound Soul Beast Seed.

In truth, given the strength of the Soul Beast Seed, it wasn't afraid of falling at all.

In reality, the defensive power of a Soul Beast Seed could even withstand conventional missile bombardment.

As the teammates concluded their joint attack, they all converged toward Yu Chuan.

"Mission accomplished." Yu Chuan grinned, raising the Soul Beast Egg (Seed) high.

Under the moonlight, the Soul Beast Egg's surface emitted starlight from its pale blue patterns, resembling a solidified nebula.

Having secured the Soul Beast Seed, the entire team cheered instantly.

"Hahaha, we got our first one." The captain sprinted ahead, initiating Decomposition and scanning the Soul Beast Seed back and forth, barely concealing his joy:

"Although its Hunting Level is only 23, it's sure to fetch a high price."

The assassin player in the team also sheathed his daggers at this moment, nodding in approval:

"That aerial maneuver was impressive, was it from Ah Le Training Camp?"

The other teammates also gathered around, unable to hide their smiles as they looked at the Soul Beast Seed in Yu Chuan's hand.

With the first "mining" successfully done, the next step was to find customers.

All teammates would share the earnings equally.

Behind the boulder outside the Soul Beast Nest, everyone sat around the Soul Beast Seed.

Then the captain, "Pig Teammate," opened the forum interface, enabling shared view, and posted on the trading section looking for customers.

The title read:

…

Just after the post went out, direct messages poured in like raindrops.

Inquiries for pricing, questions about where it was captured, newbies begging for a handout... a flood of private messages.

Pig Teammate chose to first review the personal public information of players messaging him, ensuring they had the means to buy, before pricing negotiations.

Yu Chuan inquired curiously with the captain about his selling price strategy.

The captain intended to sell at 190,000 sacrificial power.

Even though this Soul Beast Seed had not hatched, its growth potential and functionality far surpassed the Shuyan Warrior, making this a reasonable price.

Then each person would get 10,000, and future Soul Beast Seeds would also be sold at this price.

During the private negotiation process, the captain shared his view the whole time, ensuring every step was open and transparent.
