The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 772 Three Thousand Mirror Ruins 39
Of all the people, only Moran's target Mirror Beast is of the Dark attribute, and he has a direct need for Dark attribute Beast Cores.

Moran put down her porridge bowl and glanced at the beast core in Lin Yue's hand.

She actually doesn't lack beast cores for practice or spellcasting; her parents prepared quite a few, and she can now make some from the Book of Cards.

But she had never actually collected the beast cores of the Night-Walking Weasel.

If the price is right, it could be used as card-making material for the Book of Cards, enriching the card collection.

How many mirror coins?

The one-star and two-star mirror beast cores in this world are not only the core for extracting skills, but also good magical materials because they contain relatively pure energy.

Lin Yue's eyes darted around, and she said with a grin, "Hehe, the market price is about 100 mirror coins each, right? We're classmates, so how about I give you 90 mirror coins for two? Pretty generous, right?"

She didn't really want to make a lot of money off Moran; she was more interested in having fun and showing off her spoils.

Moreover, it's not easy for the three people who participated yesterday to divide the hundred mirror coins among them.

The price was fair enough. After a moment's thought, Moran nodded and decisively counted out ninety mirror coins from his storage ring and handed them to Lin Yue.

"Deal!" Lin Yue happily accepted the mirror coins and placed the two slightly cool dark attribute beast cores in Moran's hand.

Seeing this, Su Yu silently took out three black beast cores, about the size of pigeon eggs, from her personal mirror ornament and handed them to Mo Lan: "Shadow Wolf beast cores, also of the dark attribute, one hundred and fifty mirror coins each, do you want them?"

There were six people involved in killing those three shadow wolves last night, including her.

They've already roughly divided the wolf meat and wolf pelts according to their contributions, but the three beast cores are a bit harder to divide.

Selling it to Moran, the only member of the team with a clear need for it, and then splitting the Mirror Coins equally among everyone, is the simplest and fairest solution.

Moran's gaze fell on the three Shadow Wolf Beast Cores in Su Yu's hand: "Okay."

She once again took out the corresponding Mirror Coins from her storage ring and handed them to Su Yu.

Su Yu took the money, counted it carefully to confirm that it was correct, and then handed the three Shadow Wolf Beast Cores to Moran.

In the short time it takes to eat breakfast, Moran acquired five dark-attribute beast cores with different properties, and everyone assumed that she was preparing materials for future spellcasting.

Seeing this, Wang Jingnan smiled and said, "In the future, if we hunt down beast cores that we don't need, we can ask other classmates if they want them or exchange them directly, which will save us the trouble of dealing with them later."

Everyone agreed that this made sense and nodded in agreement.

"Hey! What about you guys? Didn't you encounter any Mirror Beasts while you were on watch last night?" Lin Yue asked Zhao Wuchen curiously.

"..." Zhao Wuchen regretted not attacking those corrosive beetles last night. Even if they didn't intend to attack, they were still poison-type mirror beasts! Their beast cores would be very useful to him.

Of course, he wasn't short of one-star beast cores. Fearing that Miss Lin Yue would pry further and notice his unease, he decisively changed the subject, turning his gaze to Mo Lan, who was quietly drinking her porridge across from him, and asked in as calm a tone as possible:
"Molan, what about your fourth group? Things are probably getting even more chaotic in the latter half of the night, aren't they?"

His question seemed to have flipped a switch. Before Moran could even speak, Bai Wei, Ren Miao, and Xiang Yufan, who had just received their precious beast cores and was in a state of extreme excitement, immediately started talking, vying to speak.

"We encountered a swarm of night-crying bats! A dark mass of them swooped down from the sky!" Bai Wei gestured with lingering fear. "It was terrifying! Then Moran moved with lightning speed! We didn't even see how she made her move, we just heard the whooshing sound, and those pesky night-crying bats all fell down like dumplings being dropped into a pot! It was so fast!"

Ren Miao chimed in, her eyes shining as she looked at Moran: "You were all asleep at the time, and there wasn't enough time to tell you to plug your ears! If Moran hadn't acted quickly and accurately, taking them out in an instant, you would all have been woken up by the annoying sonic attacks of the Night-Crying Bats, and might even have been injured, or suffered headaches and deafness!"

Xiang Yufan couldn't help but take out the Wind Chaser Antelope Beast Core: "Hehe~ Look what this is."
You didn't see that scene. I finally managed to get close to the Wind Chaser, but then the wind direction suddenly changed!
My heart sank. I thought the duck that was almost in my hands was about to fly away!

And guess what? Moran, from the lookout tower, swiftly threw a knife! And with incredible accuracy! It struck the Wind Chaser's hind leg joint, instantly crippling it and slowing it down! This created the perfect opportunity for me to hit it with my arrow!
Otherwise, with the speed of the Wind Chaser Antelope, how could I possibly have obtained this precious beast core!

On their very first night in the Colorful Wilderness, they managed to obtain the core of the Mirror Beast, making everyone incredibly envious.

Through Bai Wei, Ren Miao, and Xiang Yufan's vivid descriptions, Mo Lan's incredible knife-throwing skills were shrouded in a legendary aura, arousing everyone's curiosity and eagerness.

"Really? The night-crying bats disappeared in just a few swishes?"

"A throwing knife broke the leg of a wind-chasing antelope? And at night? That's incredibly accurate!"

"Moran! He's been keeping a low profile!"

……

Unable to contain her burning curiosity, Lin Yue moved closer to Mo Lan, took her arm, and bombarded her with questions, her eyes wide:
"Mo Lan! You can do this too? How did you do it? I've never seen you use this in martial arts class before! Is it a family secret technique? Or did Teacher Yan Shuang secretly give you extra lessons? Tell me quickly!"

Although the others weren't as direct as Lin Yue, they all perked up their ears.

After all, this kind of ultra-long-range, ultra-precise strike capability has a huge impact in actual combat, especially in dealing with flying units or creating fighter jets.

Under the intense gazes of everyone, Moran explained simply, "I learned it from a book called 'Hundred Leaf Flying Knife' in the school library. I've already finished reading that book, and you can borrow it if you want to learn."

She spoke casually, as if "self-study" and "practice" could explain her amazing and unerring knife-throwing skills.

"Practice?" Lin Yue's voice rose a few decibels, filled with disbelief. "How long would it take to reach your level last night?"

She doesn't think she can reach that level in three months of practice.

"Choose a good target, control your force, analyze wind speed, humidity, target movement speed and trajectory, and practice more."

"Practice...is all?" Lin Yue and the others were dumbfounded.

Using leaves? Moving targets? Analyzing wind speed and humidity trajectories? It sounds simple, but in practice it's incredibly difficult!

Besides, who learns martial arts from books?! Just how high is this guy's talent in martial arts?
