Chapter 1240: Side Hustle
The same mysterious light glittered in the eyes of Xu Qing and all the ascendees. They had not done well in this, their first time clearing a battlefield. After they handed in their Corpsedrainer quota, they would hardly have any ringsource left for cultivation purposes.
Everyone slowly looked over at Xu Qing. They were waiting for his final decision.
He scanned the empty battlefield, and then the distant starry sky. Finally, he said, “Entering the field of battle early is definitely an option. But we need to find the right opportunity. And we need to make sure we have a clear assessment of the battle prowess of both sides. Things can change very quickly on the battlefield, and if our timing is wrong, we could end up in a deadly situation. After all, we're not strong enough yet to be able to crush all opposition.”
Xu Qing suppressed the urge to be impulsive. He knew that this was a situation in which hasty decisions weren’t a good idea.
The glow in the eyes of the other ascendees began to fade.
However, that was when Sir Vilespirit licked his lips and said, “Captain... the truth is we’re better at dealing with living gods than dead ones! You can harvest more ringsource from the live ones....”
The glow returned to the eyes of the ascendees. They understood what Sir Vilespirit was getting at. He was suggesting they start hunting gods. They were also thinking about the god prisons they had been to.
When Xu Qing heard someone calling him ‘Captain,’ it left him feeling a bit dazed. It was actually the first time anyone had addressed him that way so far. I wonder what Eldest Brother is up to right now...
Meanwhile, Sir Star Ring said, “You can’t accomplish anything without rules. We’re not Acquisitioners anymore. We’re Corpsedrainers.”
Sir Vilespirit’s eyes glittered as he coldly replied, “And can you really do better than those other Corpsedrainers? They got sixty percent of the corpses! Sir Star Ring, your ‘order’ isn’t going to help at all when it comes to draining corpses!”
Sir Star Ring glared back coldly at Sir Vilespirit. Sir Vilespirit wasn’t about to shrink in the face of that, so he pulsed with a baleful aura and faint Quasi-Immortal fluctuations. Everyone had improved to certain degrees recently. As for Sir Vilespirit, he had broken through into the Quasi-Immortal level. As the two ascendees glared at each other, Xu Qing looked at Zhou Zhengli.
Zhou Zhengli cleared his throat, stepped forward to stand between Sir Star Ring and Sir Vilespirit, and then bowed to Xu Qing.
