320: Section 320

As green blood flowed out from the wounds, the Venom-Marked Scorpion lay there, motionless.

Next, a cry rang out in the night sky.

Xiao Qi flapped its wings and swooped down toward the Venom-Marked Scorpion.

Landing beside the corpse, it greedily ate the meat inside the hard shell.

"You've really become a picky eater!"

"Now, for a single Yao Beast, you only eat the first bite of meat and leave the rest?"

Lin Yi watched Xiao Qi, who had just taken a bite of meat and immediately left the spot.

He couldn't help but sigh softly.

Subsequently, he collected the corpse of the Venom-Marked Scorpion into his storage space.

After a fierce battle, Lin Yi had a bountiful harvest tonight.

He had collected at least thirty-something corpses of Venom-Marked Scorpions.

Although they all belonged to the 1-star Yao Beast category, the Venom-Marked Scorpion could be used in medicine.

Moreover, it was a primary Materials for refining anti-venom, so it fetched a high price.

[Anti-Venom (Green) Upgradeable]

Suddenly, a panel popped up before Lin Yi's eyes.

It displayed the talent entries that could be upgraded.

Out of the thirty-plus Yao Beasts, he had personally killed nearly twenty.

Furthermore, they all possessed the same talents.

[Anti-Venom (Green), Poison Sting (Blue)]

Just from these two talent entries, Lin Yi had plundered nearly twenty.

While Wei Shang wasn't paying attention, he directly chose to upgrade them continuously.

[Anti-Venom (Green) → Venom Avoidance (Blue)]

[Venom Avoidance (Blue) → Immunity to All Poisons (Purple)]

[Poison Sting (Blue) → Poison Tempering (Purple)]

After Lin Yi upgraded all the talent entries he had just obtained, he acquired two purple talent entries.

Lin Yi smiled and nodded.

Both of these talent entries were passive abilities.

In other words, in the future, when facing some poisonous attacks, Lin Yi would already have developed antibodies.

And that Poison Tempering...

[Poison Tempering (Purple): Refine the toxin in your body onto any object to achieve a poison-inflicting effect!]

After reading the introduction of the talent, it was quite useful, for instance, refining toxins onto weapons.

When fighting Yao Beasts or exotic beasts, as long as he cut them, the toxin would quickly merge into their blood.

Slowly, it could poison them to death.

This could also be considered a hidden trump card.

Lin Yi was quite satisfied with tonight's harvest.

"Shall we continue moving forward?"

Just at this moment, Wei Shang walked over.

He was holding the corpses of two Venom-Marked Scorpions in his hand and tossed them in front of Lin Yi.

"You don't want them?"

Lin Yi collected the corpses of the Venom-Marked Scorpions and asked, feeling a bit strange.

After a series of battles, whether it was the previous Fleshy Worm or these Venom-Marked Scorpions, Wei Shang hadn't kept a single one.

He had let Lin Yi take them all.

Wei Shang smiled and shook his head: "These things are useless to me, and they aren't worth much money!"

"It would be a waste of time to go and sell them, I can't be bothered to keep them!"

Lin Yi smiled: "Old Wei, how much is the salary at your Martial Suppression Bureau?"

"Hmm?"

Wei Shang was stunned and looked up at him.

He smiled and shook his head: "Not much, it mainly depends on the rank. For instance, Bronze Martial Guards and Silver Martial Guards have lower salaries, maybe twenty or thirty a month!"

"But Gold Martial Guards are higher; they can reach a monthly salary of one million. Moving up from there are Black Gold Martial Guards, Left Martial Guards, and Right Martial Guards; their salaries are ridiculously high!"

Hearing Wei Shang say this, Lin Yi's eyes lit up.

The salaries in this New District were shockingly high; no wonder they were so lavish with their spending.

"Then what about you? Which rank do you belong to?" Lin Yi asked curiously.

"Me? Both Feng Lei and I belong to the Left Martial Guards, and our salaries are around three hundred!"

Hearing him say this, Lin Yi gasped inwardly.

No wonder he looked down on these Yao Beast corpses; for them, it was just a waste of time.

Being able to earn so much money in a month, who would be willing to waste time picking up these corpses?

Lin Yi didn't say anything more, seeing that all the corpses had been collected into his storage space.

He whispered: "Let's go, let's take a look further ahead!"

Wei Shang nodded with a smile, and the two continued walking toward the depths of The Desert.

This desert was very large, and one simply couldn't see the end.

Moreover, taking a single step was extremely difficult; often, one foot would land and sink directly into a sand pit.

By the time the other foot exerted force to pull out, half of the body would be trapped inside.

Such sand pit traps were not just in one place.

Almost every hundred meters or so, a sand pit would appear.

"The most dangerous thing here is not those Yao Beasts or exotic beasts. It is the geographical conditions and the climatic environment here!"

"The sand can kill people; once you get trapped in it, you can be buried alive!"

"So, we must be a bit careful!"

Relying on his own experience, Wei Shang walked in front.

From time to time, he would share some of his experience with Lin Yi.

Lin Yi nodded and followed behind Wei Shang, walking forward carefully.

Suddenly, in the originally sweltering and quiet night, a gust of violent wind blew over, and a large expanse of yellow sand swept away, as if trying to cover the night sky.

Even Xiao Qi, who was soaring at a low altitude, was blown about, swaying and teetering.

"This wind isn't right..." Lin Yi said, his brows furrowed deeply.

Wei Shang, walking in front, also nodded.

"Be careful, we might be encountering Yao Beasts again!"

Just as he finished speaking, several black shadows could be seen rushing toward them from the front.

Behind them, a large expanse of yellow sand was sweeping, as if it were chasing those black shadows.

In the blink of an eye, the two black shadows trailing behind were directly swallowed by the yellow sand.

And at this very moment, Lin Yi saw that there seemed to be a giant snake-like Yao Beast inside the yellow sand.

The yellow sandstorm was being stirred up by it.

"Not good, it's a Tengsha Snake, be careful!"

Wei Shang's expression changed, and even his tone became a bit tense.

Just as those black shadows got closer and closer to Lin Yi and Wei Shang, Lin Yi saw that they were students from other universities.

Moreover, their Realms were all at 1-star or 2-star.

The Tengsha Snake chasing them was, shockingly, a 3-star Monster Beast.
