The five-person team killed a total of ten four-winged Gan Yu beasts. However, for some mysterious reason, no one except for Su Luo had obtained any crystal shards.
"Sister Su, let me see, let me see!" Xiao Luo dashed towards Su Luo, brimming with excitement as she tried to grab the crystal shards.
"A single crystal shard might not even drop after killing hundreds of four-winged Gan Yu beasts. You really are lucky, Su Luo.“ Chu Yang smiled and looked at Su Luo, a complex glint flashing across his eyes.
"It’s all thanks to the captain for holding the other one in check. If not, I wouldn't get it with such ease.” Su Luo didn't claim credit or be proud, and still smiled faintly.
Senior Sister Yu swept a cold and arrogant gaze across Su Luo's face. Looking down on the crystal shard, she blurted out in a seemingly unintentional manner: "You are not strong enough, so it is best for you to give it to the captain for protection."
Su Luo seemed startled.
Xiao Luo quickly said cheerfully, “That’s right, Su Luo. This is worth 3 million points. Won’t you feel bad about it if you were to lose it? Don’t you see it’s better to hand it to the captain?”
Chu Yang also smiled and said, " I can trade you 3 million points on the spot if you need to quell your worries."
Through her estimates, Su Luo was already a quasi-grandmaster. After her experience in the auction house, she no longer held 3 million points with much value anymore. However—
Su Luo's eyes were half-closed as she nodded: "Okay, then let's trade now."
A sneer flashed across Chu Yang's lowered eyes. Then, the two people with their own ulterior motives made a deal on the spot. Chu Yang punched 3 million points on Su Luo's identity plate, before taking away the crystal shard.
"Let’s keep moving." Chu Yang was in a good mood, and with a wave of his hand, the team continued to move forward.
Su Luo strangely discovered that Xiao Luo was in a better mood than Chu Yang, while a look of uncontainable excitement, that was hard to conceal, flashed within her eyes. This is really strange… Su Luo still couldn't figure it out for the time being.
As time passed, the gazes everyone sent towards Su Luo grew increasingly weird.
It was the tenth day of entering the Temple of the Abyss. In those ten days, apart from eating and sleeping, everyone had been fighting with the four-winged Gan Yu beasts.
It was strange that everyone in the squad fought hard to kill the four-winged Gan Yu, but none of them had obtained any crystal shards. On the contrary, it was Su Luo, who only chased one four-winged Gan Yu every single time, who managed to obtain crystal shards as though she was shopping for them on a bustling market street.
In these ten days, Su Luo had obtained five crystal shards, while other people in the team got none, except for Chu Yang, who managed to obtain one through pure luck.
Soon, Su Luo's pockets were bulging. That was due to the 15 million points she had gotten from Chu Yang. This earning speed was really amazing, and was much faster than her earlier trip into the Magical Beast Zone.
During their day-to-day actions, Su Luo was always paying attention to and guarding Chu Yang and the others. Since the piece of bread she had eaten on the first day, Su Luo now already held the third piece of bread in her hand.
Even though Su Luo had frequently managed to obtain crystal shards, Chu Yang decided to end Su Luo’s life today because they were already very close to the main hall of the temple.
Su Luo took the bread and nibbled on it, one bite at a time. A sneer of disdain curled up at the corners of her mouth and lowered gaze.
After eating this piece of bread, Su Luo's figure stiffened, then slowly fell backward… Silently, as if she were dead.
Everyone stopped while having the bread in their hands and formed a circle, looking at Su Luo who fell to the ground with vigilant eyes.
