Qi Yuan and Dusk were very satisfied with the result of this battle.
For Dusk, not only did he succeed in killing a powerful Sandworm, but more importantly, Xiao Hei and Chestnut had passed the test and become official members of Wolf's Teeth.
The Life-Risking Potion given to Xiao Hei and Chestnut was naturally not the powerful Tier 3 potions produced by Iron Chariots. Instead, it was a genetic potion applied from the Shelter.
Xiao Hei's potion, Boiling Blood, had the effect of increasing the overall strength of the body for a short period of time. The side effect was that the user would fall into a period of weakness after using the potion.
Chestnut's potion was a Shadow Potion. Not only could it replenish the consumption of Shadow Power, but it could also stimulate the activity of Shadow Power. Chestnut reaching Tier 3 was a pleasant surprise.
As for Qi Yuan, this battle not only allowed him to complete a C-rank mission, but also allowed him to sign in and receive another talent point.
If not for the appearance of Wolf's Teeth, it would have been almost impossible for him to complete the Check-In alone.
Although it was the first time the two sides had met, their relationship had become much closer after this battle.
Tusk took the initiative to chat with Qi Yuan, while Jia Tao took the initiative to help He Peng dismember the Sandworm's huge corpse. Although the Sandworm's body was huge, its meat was inedible, so its corpse was not very valuable. However, its heart was a good material for making genetic potions.
"Before today, if someone had told me that a Tier 1 hunter could seriously injure a Sandworm, I would have treated them as a liar." Dusk said with a smile.
Qi Yuan smiled and said, "I was just lucky. If not for your sudden appearance, I would have to go back and recruit other hunters to complete this mission."
"Only a Tier 1 hunter like you would dare to take on this kind of mission." Dusk looked at the piles of Sandworm corpses.
"Even a Tier 3 hunter would not dare to provoke this kind of Sandworm nest."
Luan suddenly came over and asked, "Who killed those Sand Otters?"
Qi Yuan looked back and saw Chestnut, who had just become a Tier 3 Transcendent, using his Shadow Bind to move the corpses.
"I killed them." Qi Yuan shrugged. "These Sand Otters' defense is too weak."
Luan and Dusk exchanged a look, their eyes filled with shock. They had seen many Wasteland Hunters, and many of them had awakened superpowers with powerful attacks. But they had never seen a Tier 1 Wasteland Hunter who could severely injure a Sandworm.
As for facing the Sand Otter horde head-on, even with two Sand Otter Leaders included, not many Tier 2 Hunters could accomplish such a feat.
As for Qi Yuan, not only was he able to heavily injure the sandworms from a distance, he was also able to take on the Sand Otters in close combat. His offensive and defensive prowess was astonishing.
He Peng, who was dissecting the sandworm, suddenly shouted.
"It's unbelievable! This sandworm doesn't only have 18 hearts, it has 23!
Five of its hearts had already been destroyed before we arrived! "
Twenty-three hearts!
Zheng felt that his worldview had been shaken once again. Although he had determined that the sandworm probably had more than 18 hearts during the battle, he still found it hard to believe that it had 23 hearts.
Especially since it was very likely that the person who destroyed these five hearts was Qi Yuan.
"You did it?" Dusk asked tentatively.
Qi Yuan nodded.
"I fed it a high-explosive bomb. I thought it would kill it, but I didn't expect it to have so many hearts."
Dusk, who was usually calm, couldn't help but ridicule, "You were not eaten by a Sandworm. It's a disgrace to Sandworms."
With the Sandworm's speed and size, it would be a nightmare for most Transcendent to get close to it. Feeding a Sandworm a high-explosive bomb was the same as risking one's life.
He Peng and Jia Tao removed all the complete and broken hearts from the Sandworm's carcass before they started cutting up the other carcasses.
Even though there were people in Steel Gate who bought the carcasses at a high price, there were just too many carcasses. Even with Wolf's Teeth squad's jeep, they could not move too many carcasses. They could only try their best to cut up the more valuable parts.
Once they finished cutting up the carcasses on the ground, Dusk received a bloody package from He Peng.
"The most valuable parts of these corpses are the few hearts left intact. You were the one who found the sandworm, and you injured it severely. According to the rules of the wastelands, half of the sandworm's body should be given to you."
"These two Sandworm hearts are yours. If you're willing, we can buy them at a high price!"
"I have no use for them. It'll be more convenient if I convert them to money." Qi Yuan did not reject the offer.
"Sure."
Dusk took back the package.
"Based on the price of twenty thousand per heart, I'll give you forty thousand for these two hearts. However, we didn't bring any money or badges with us. We'll give you the money when we get back."
"No problem," Qi Yuan said with a smile.
It would be reasonable if they did not want to give him the money. After all, he had completed the hunting mission, so he could get a handsome reward.
However, since they were willing to give him the money, he would take it. Forty thousand was not a small amount. Whether it was to buy mechanical equipment or to recruit hunters to do missions in the future, he would need to spend a lot of money.
Wolf's Teeth squad was backed by Lord Ling You, so they did not lack money. Moreover, with their style of doing things, there was no need for them to go back on their word.
"Alright, we've finished cleaning up the battlefield. It's time for us to go. If you don't mind, we can go together. I'll treat you to a drink when we get back!" Tusk stood up and said to Qi Yuan.
"Great. I just arrived at the Iron Chariots yesterday. I haven't tried the alcohol here yet." Qi Yuan smiled.
After packing everything into the back seat of the jeep, He Peng started the jeep and led the way.
Luan rode on the motorcycle that Steel Rose had transformed into and followed closely behind.
Qi Yuan rode on the Iron Wolf and followed behind with Jia Tao. They returned to the Iron Chariots.
The most active Xiao Hei had fallen into a deep sleep due to the side effects of Boiling Blood. Wolf's Teeth squad's tactical communication channel was much quieter.
After a short silence, Chestnut could not help but ask, "Did I take the wrong potion for Xiao Hei and I?
Why doesn't it look like the Tier 3 Ability Potion produced by the Iron Chariots? "
"You finally can't hold it in anymore?
I was just betting with He Peng that you would hold it in until we get back. "Luan said with a smile.
"Did I really take the wrong potion?" Chestnut was a little surprised.
He Peng shook his head helplessly at Chestnut's slow reaction. If he was half as smart as Xiao Hei, he would not have only reached Tier 3 today.
"Xiao Hei was injected with Boiling Blood. You were injected with Shadow Potion!"
Jia Tao briefly explained the effects of the two potions. Chestnut finally reacted. It was not that they took the wrong potion, but that he and Xiao Hei had been kept in the dark.
Chestnut scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
"I thought both of us survived because we were lucky!"
Zhui, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, looked back at him and said, "Congratulations on reaching Tier 3. Congratulations to you and Xiao Hei for passing the last test and becoming official members of Wolf's Teeth Hunt."
Chestnut was silent for a while. Suddenly, he asked carefully, "Isn't the Shadow Potion very expensive?"
"You little brat." Zhui shook his head helplessly.
"What you should be concerned about now is that you have finally become an official member, right?
Or that you have reached Tier 3. Why are you so concerned about the price of the potion? "
"I'm worried that my salary is not enough. I have to take on a few more missions to pay off the debt," Chestnut said softly.
"You don't have to pay off the debt. It's a reward from Wolf's Teeth Hunt." Zhui suddenly paused, then continued.
"Now that you have reached Tier 3, you are qualified to apply for a Mechanical Armament. However, the team does not have a suitable one for you. I will apply for one from the leader after we return."
"According to past practice, other than inheriting the Mechanical Armament of other members, you will have to pay for a new one. The team will help you pay for it first, and then deduct a part of it from your salary and mission rewards to pay off the debt."
"Do you have any objections?"
"No!" Chestnut said excitedly.
This sudden news made Chestnut overjoyed. He was even happier than when he reached Tier 3.
Almost no one could refuse the power of a Mechanical Armament. However, most Wilderness Hunters did not have the opportunity to own one. Even if they had the money, they could not buy one.
If he had not joined Wolf's Teeth, even if he had reached Tier 3, he would not have much hope of getting a Mechanical Armament of his own.
"Although the Black Steel Shelter has opened up some Mechanical Armors to the leader, the number is limited, and there are not many models. If you have any special needs, you can communicate with the leader yourself."
"No need!
No need!
As long as it's a Mechanical Armament, I can do it! "Chestnut said hurriedly.
Zhui smiled and explained.
"Unless you can reach Tier 4, the Mechanical Armament you choose may accompany you for the rest of your life, so don't be too casual. If you encounter a suitable Mechanical Armament in the future, you will regret it."
"The Shadow Bind ability is very powerful. Together with Xiao Hei's Radiant Dawn, the two of you should be able to deal with ordinary Tier 3 Zergs. Go back and train your awakened ability. After a while, we should go to the Cave of Corruption in the old city."
"I'll work hard!" Chestnut said solemnly.
Through the rearview mirror, He Peng glanced at Chestnut, whose face was brimming with a bashful smile. He then glanced at Qi Yuan, who was far behind.
He suddenly asked, "Leader, are you thinking of pulling Qi Yuan into Wolf's Teeth?"
"Yes," Zhui Liang nodded. "Our team is still lacking a sniper, and Qi Yuan barely meets the requirements."
"Why don't you just tell him directly?
I don't think he will reject your invitation! "
"It's not that simple." Zhui Liang shook his head.
"Today is the first time we met, and we don't know him at all. I can't just randomly recruit members. I have to be responsible for you."
"Now, there are already three people who meet the sniper recruitment requirements. Ying, who volunteered himself, Lutai, who we met five days ago in the wilderness, and Qi Yuan today."
"Let's observe for a while. I will decide the final candidate after clearing out the old city."
He Peng Liang suddenly smiled and said, "Leader, you've already been observing.
"So, captain, you're already doing the inspection. I thought you'd forgotten about it!"
Zhui Liang rubbed his nose, looking a little helpless.
"My … My memory isn't that bad, right? I just didn't tell you."
"He Peng Liang, you've already dealt with these three people. Tell me your opinion."
He Peng Liang pondered for a while and said, "Among the three, the three of them are the strongest.
He's already a senior C + Authorization Hunter. Lutai Liang is the most proficient in sniping, and all three of his Tier 2 abilities are related to sniping. Qi Yuan Liang's abilities are the most comprehensive, and he's not weak in both close and long-range combat. There are no obvious shortcomings. It would be great if we could recruit all three of them! "
Zhui Liang glanced at He Peng Liang.
"Leader Ling You has always insisted on the path of elite soldiers. Thunder Scorpion and Wolf's Teeth can maintain a six-man team because Scorpion and I begged for a long time. If you want to expand the number of people again, you have to see if she agrees. Why don't you talk to her?"
"I wouldn't dare!"
He Peng Liang suddenly shuddered as if he had thought of something terrifying.
"You people even dared to kill Sandworms, but you don't dare to face Leader Ling You directly. We're all Tier 3, so what are you afraid of?" Zhui Liang said with disappointment.
If you're not afraid, then go talk to her!
He Peng Liang cursed in his heart.
Don't think that no one knows that you and Scorpion were beaten black and blue by the leader last time. Thunder Scorpion Liang had long heard about it!
"The old city in the blue area that occupies the Cave of the Polluted seems to have some strange movements recently. I suspect that someone has secretly colluded with them!" Luan Liang suddenly said.
"No matter what strange movements there are in the Cave of Polluted, as long as there are no Tier 4 Heart Eaters, the clean-up mission will definitely fall on our heads." Zhui Liang paused for a moment before continuing.
"Recently, someone from the Xu family might have entered the Iron Chariots. If the news is true, then the changes in the old city's Cave of Polluted should be related to them. When you go back, pay attention to collecting information in this regard. If you can find the infiltrator of the Xu family, then perhaps you can weaken the power of the Polluted."
"Everyone from the Xu family deserves to die!" He Peng Liang could not help but slap the steering wheel.
"If it weren't for the Xu family secretly colluding with the Polluters and providing them with too many resources, the Polluter's Nest on our side wouldn't have been so unscrupulous as to brazenly occupy the entire old city."
Zhui Liang leaned back and crossed his feet under the windshield.
"You should be glad that the Xu family at least did not give them the Mechanical Armament. Otherwise, we would be facing a group of Polluted who use the Mechanical Armament!"
"After you go back, remember to get a copy of Qi Yuan's information and put it in my office. Since his strength also meets our recruitment standards, we still have to do the work that needs to be done. If the people from the Apocalypse Holy Court sneak in, the shelter will definitely hold us accountable. At that time, even Leader Ling You won't be able to protect us!"
"Hey, don't worry. Those lunatics from the Apocalypse Holy Court, even their brains are polluted. If they really dare to sneak in, we'll catch them in a jar!"
