558: The dust has settled

Boom!!! Dust and gravel exploded into the sky.

Subsequently, terrifying air waves swept in all directions, a huge pit collapsed into existence, and The Ground crumbled in layers all around.

Ding!

The next moment, a white light shot into the sky.

Boom!!! Another loud bang, and a terrifying explosion erupted.

The spreading shockwave, mixed with gravel and dust, diffused outwards like a "doughnut."

The next moment, The Ground seemed to be ripped open by an invisible force, crumbling and rising in layers before being swept away.

After a while, the smoke and dust slowly dispersed, and The Ground returned to peace.

A figure slowly flew up from the large pit.

She was still holding a mutilated, headless corpse.

Maple Leaf casually flicked her hand, throwing the corpse to The Ground.

The Calamity Beast had actually been torn apart by her bare hands, its head blown off.

And Maple Leaf's entire body still emitted a faint white light, pristine and untouched.

"So... so strong!" The warriors of the Tianjing Tribe looked at Maple Leaf, who stood above the sky, an invisible pressure enveloping their hearts. Fortunately... Maple Leaf was not their enemy... If she were an enemy, facing such an existence... they didn't even know if they could muster the courage to fight her.

This battle could clearly be said to have settled.

After all, the strongest Calamity Beast had already died.

The remaining beasts of the beast tide, one by one, looked as if they had seen a ghost, fleeing the area.

They just wanted to escape this place quickly.

The fifth wave of the beast tide, just like that, began to gradually "perish."

Unexpectedly, the most difficult fifth wave turned out to be the fastest and simplest one to overcome.

Because of the beast tide's "escape," the warriors of the Tianjing Tribe didn't even retaliate when pursuing them.

"It's finally over..." Maple Leaf exited her "Awakening" state, transforming from a "god" into a "human."

Maple Leaf descended from mid-air to The Ground, turning and walking towards the Tianjing Tribe.

The Tianjing Tribe warriors on the way all cast admiring and reverent gazes at her, and all moved aside from Maple Leaf's path.

Upon returning to the Tianjing Tribe.

Mi and Qing both walked over.

Compared to others, their relationship with Maple Leaf was the best.

"I thought I had overestimated your strength, but I didn't expect to have still underestimated it..." Mi said to Maple Leaf with some emotion.

Unexpectedly, the Calamity Beast was not an opponent in front of Maple Leaf, and it was a one-sided "slaughter."

It was simply not an opponent for Maple Leaf in a single exchange.

"It's alright..." Maple Leaf smiled slightly: "This Hunting Celebration... I should be first, right?"

"Who could possibly snatch first place from you!" Qing couldn't help but laugh and say, "Putting aside everything else, just one Calamity Beast is enough. First place is definitely yours."

"That's good then... How long do you think it will take to finish the tally?" Maple Leaf asked Mi.

Mi and Qing exchanged glances; they knew Maple Leaf was "eager" to meet their leader.

"It's just a matter of one or two days, same as before." Mi nodded and said, "The day after tomorrow evening, everyone will have a celebration party, and then the rewards will be distributed. Perhaps at that time, the leader might show up."

"Oh? Really?" Maple Leaf raised an eyebrow, finally able to see this mysterious leader; she was still a little excited.

"It's just a possibility. In previous years, the leader only occasionally appeared at the celebration party." Mi thought for a moment and said.

"Your leader... can you describe what he looks like?" Maple Leaf asked curiously.

"Hmm... The leader wears a bone mask... We don't know what he looks like." Mi shook his head and said, "But as soon as he appears, we know he is our leader, the leader of the Tianjing Tribe."

"Hmm... Now that you mention it, it's true... It's very magical." Qing also said from the side.

"I see..." Upon hearing Mi and Qing's words, Maple Leaf raised an eyebrow slightly; this leader of the Tianjing Tribe was indeed mysterious!

Maple Leaf was just a little curious and didn't press for more, as she would be able to see him soon anyway.

She had waited so many days; two more days wouldn't make a difference.

"It's finally over!" In the chat group, everyone felt a sense of relief, as if seeing the light of day again, now that the beast tide had finally passed, as Yi Xin put it.

And regarding the mysterious leader of the Tianjing Tribe, everyone in the group was actually very curious.

"It feels like a TV series is about to end." Lin Ze said with a smile.

"Yeah! I wonder what this mysterious thing is! Compared to that, I'm more excited to meet that leader!" Lin Zifeng also popped up and said.

"O△o Eh?!" Miya-pasu popped up a bubble, looking clear and foolish.

"Pat pat, go play." Allie said to Miya-pasu.

"Ang~" Miya-pasu nodded and dove back into the water.

Everyone was still very concerned about Maple Leaf's situation, as she had been stuck there for so long.

......

The next evening.

Mi and Qing found Maple Leaf.

"These are your spoils of war." Mi and Qing brought a large pile of already divided beast meat, pelts, and other items to Maple Leaf, including the Calamity Beast and the previous Overlord Beast.

"According to the rules, the tribe takes one-third of the spoils, and those who help with the cutting take one-tenth. You only get sixty percent. If you think that's not enough, I can discuss it with the tribe to increase your share by ten to twenty percent... Taking everything might not be possible, as the rules are there." Mi and Qing said to Maple Leaf.

"It's fine, I have no problem with it." Maple Leaf waved her hand and said, these things were not very important to her. After all, she didn't get stronger by relying on these beast blood and flesh. In this battle, she had obtained several hundred million source points, which was what she valued.

Of course, this beast blood and flesh would definitely go to the group's "Royal Chef" Tang Mo, who would also take a "cut" later.

However, after processing, both the effect and the taste were several times better, making it worthwhile.

Maple Leaf directly tossed the large pile of items into her backpack, and then, following the group's usual practice, sent all the ingredients to Tang Mo.

As for the quantity, she didn't care; Tang Mo would send back the processed food himself later.

This had already become an "unspoken rule" in the group.

Ingredients - Royal Chef: Tang Mo.

Cultivation Methods - Royal Crafters: Yi Xin, Lin Zifeng.

Super Leg - Royal Enforcer: Big Sister Head - Clarissa.

Accessory - Royal Mascot: Miya-pasu.

"Yes, the celebration banquet will be held tomorrow night. The tribe is already preparing for it. Your reward will also be given to you at the very end. You can think now about what type of cultivation methods and martial arts you need, and I will try my best to match them for you." Mi said to Maple Leaf.

"Anything is fine, you can just decide." Maple Leaf shook her head slightly and said, what cultivation methods or martial arts could be better than what the group's "Royal Crafters" Yi Xin and Lin Zifeng produced?

The level of this world wasn't high enough.
