Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Primordial God and Demon Avatar

"Boy, hand over the Spirit of Plants and Trees, and I'll give you 100 billion Chinese Yuan."

Li Yao roared angrily as he chased after Xu Qiankun and Qu Ying.

"You wish!"

Xu Qiankun sneered disdainfully. Not to mention that they had nine thousand-year-old earth spirit roots, even one of them was not something that could be bought for a hundred billion Chinese yuan.

The "Dragon Blood" product from the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy still sells for 80 billion.

"I don't know how long this guy will keep chasing us. Qu Ying, you should conserve your mental energy. I'll carry you. If my mental energy is almost depleted and Captain Yao Tianshan and the others haven't joined us yet, then you'll carry me."

"Um"

Qu Ying rested her head on Xu Qiankun's shoulder, gave a soft "hmm," and her face was flushed.

"Damn bastard"

On the ground, seeing that Xu Qiankun remained unmoved, Li Yao's aura grew even colder. However, there was nothing he could do. Although he was stronger, martial artists could not fly until they broke through to the planetary level.

"Don't give me a chance, or I'll definitely kill you."

There are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names. Li Yao's reputation as a "vulture" suggests he couldn't possibly be a magnanimous person.

After flying for about ten minutes, Chen Yan's voice finally came through the headset in the combat suit: "Qiankun, fly west. There is a small hill 33 kilometers outside the city. We will meet up there."

"it is good"

Xu Qiankun quickly flew in the designated direction.

Li Yao watched with icy eyes and did not continue the pursuit.

His strength is indeed very strong, ranking among the top among high-level war gods. However, he has little advantage against Yao Tianshan, who also has the Black God Set, not to mention that there are eight war god-level experts cooperating with Yao Tianshan.

Even he would be in danger if he were to be besieged by the nine War Gods.

Seeing Li Yao retreat, Xu Qiankun and Qu Ying also breathed a sigh of relief.

Three minutes later, on a small hill more than 30 kilometers outside city 063, they met up with Chen Yan, Yao Tianshan and others.

When Qu Ying took the thousand-year-old earth spirit root out of her backpack, everyone's eyes lit up.

"According to the previously agreed distribution plan, each member of our Divine Axe Team will receive one Earth Spirit Root, and the remaining four are yours."

Yao Tianshan took five earth spirit roots from Qu Ying, while Qu Ying gave the remaining four to Chen Yan.

"We need to go back and process this. What are your plans?" Yao Tianshan asked Chen Yan.

"Us?" Chen Yan, Chen Shi, and Nong Man exchanged glances and said with a smile, "Of course we'll just eat our fill here."

I think so too.

Yao Tianshan nodded in understanding.

These earth spirit roots were obtained through cooperation between the military and the Divine Axe Squad. Once they are brought back, the military will inevitably take a share.

There wasn't enough for everyone on the team to begin with, and now they have to share it with other people. Who would be willing to do that?

The best way is to just eat it. At most, you'll get a scolding when you get back. Do you expect them to spit it out?

Yao Tianshan added, "Then we'll leave after you've digested this stuff, so as not to attract Li Yao's attention."

"Okay, thank you, Captain Yao."

Chen Yan thanked him, and then gathered the five members of the Rock Team together to discuss the ownership of the Millennium Earth Spirit Root.

There are only four thousand-year-old earth spirit roots among the five people, and one person will not receive any.

Chen Yan said, "The thousand-year-old earth spirit root is too precious, so let's not follow the original rules for distributing spoils. Let's just divide it equally. However, there are only four portions of the earth spirit root, so one person will not get any."

"My suggestion is that the four people who are eligible for the Earth Spirit Root each contribute 30 billion Chinese Yuan, totaling 120 billion Chinese Yuan, to compensate the one who didn't receive one. What do you think?"

"agree"

"agree"

Chen Shi and Nong Man naturally had no objection to Chen Yan's suggestion.

Xu Qiankun and Qu Ying nodded in agreement.

Twelve billion is enough to buy 1.5 portions of dragon blood, which is quite fair.

"I'd like one."

"I'll have one too."

The proposal was approved, and Chen Shi and Nong Man spoke first. In the blink of an eye, there were only two left. Team leader Chen Yan definitely wanted one, so there was actually only one left.

Qu Ying looked at Xu Qiankun with a troubled expression.

She certainly wanted this treasure that could enhance her strength without any side effects, but when she thought of Xu Qiankun's contribution when they were seizing the Earth Spirit Root, she couldn't bring herself to ask for it.

Xu Qiankun pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm dirt poor and can't come up with 30 billion, so I'm giving up on this earth spirit root. You can pay me; I've sent you my bank account number."

"it is good"

Hearing this, Qu Ying breathed a sigh of relief and then decisively transferred the money.

Upon receiving the text message confirming the receipt of funds, Xu Qiankun looked at her in surprise. He hadn't expected her to be so wealthy, able to withdraw 30 billion so easily.

Chen Yan and Nong Man also made payments, but Chen Shi leaned close to Chen Yan and whispered, "Brother, you're covering 20 billion for me. I'll pay you back in a while."

"it is good"

Chen Yan nodded and transferred another 20 billion to Xu Qiankun's account, while Chen Shi transferred 10 billion himself.

In less than two minutes, 120 billion yuan arrived in his account, leaving Xu Qiankun dazzled by the series of figures.

With so much money, he could easily upgrade his weapons and combat suit to SS-class or even SSS-class, greatly enhancing his survivability.

As for the thousand-year-old earth spirit root, it didn't actually hold much appeal for him.

With his life gene level doubling, his strength was increasing at a rate of about 1500kg per day. If he stayed at home for twenty days, his strength would increase by 30,000kg. However, with only the strength of a beginner war god, it was impossible for him to earn 120 billion in twenty days. Therefore, in his opinion, this was a very worthwhile deal.

"Captain Yao, thank you for your help."

After greeting Yao Tianshan and the others, the four who obtained the Earth Spirit Root immediately put it into their mouths, chewed it up, and swallowed it. Then they sat cross-legged and began to circulate the "Five Hearts Towards Heaven" Gene Energy Cultivation Method to absorb the energy inside the Earth Spirit Root.

Xu Qiankun and the five members of Yao Tianshan's team remained vigilant around their surroundings to prevent any sudden attacks from monsters.

As darkness fell, it quickly came to 9:30 p.m.

"Ah, that feels great!"

Chen Shi was the first to wake up. He stretched lazily, a bright smile on his honest face, clearly in a very good mood.

"Brother Shi, how are you feeling?"

Cu Qiankun stepped forward and asked.

"Very good." Chen Shi narrowed his eyes. "My strength has increased by at least 40,000 kilograms. Even if I haven't reached the level of a mid-level War God, I'm not far off."

Congratulations!

Congratulations! Congratulations!

Both of them had smiles on their faces.

As teammates on the same team, we naturally hope that the other team is as strong as possible.

Around 10:30 p.m., Nong Man also woke up. Her gains were even greater than Chen Shi's, perhaps exceeding the minimum strength of 128000 kilograms for a mid-level War God.

Before long, Qu Ying and Chen Yan also finished absorbing the medicinal power, and their strength was greatly enhanced.

Qu Ying, in particular, experienced the greatest improvement. Originally, she was only a beginner-level warrior and a senior-level mentalist. After absorbing the thousand-year-old earth spirit root, her strength increased by more than 65,000 kilograms, making her a beginner-level war god. At the same time, she completely absorbed the mental power in her mind, becoming a mid-level war god-level mentalist.

The weakest member of the Rock Team has now become the second strongest.

"My power should also have reached the level of a high-level war god."

Chen Yan said with a smile, his face bearing the same smile as Chen Shi's.

"Captain Chen, congratulations on your rapid increase in strength," Yao Tianshan stepped forward to offer his congratulations, and then asked, "We're planning to return to the base city, would you like to come along?"

"We've just broken through to a higher level, so we need to fight and adjust. We won't be going back for now."

"Thank you, Captain Yao. If you ever need anything from our Rock Team, please feel free to contact us."

"Haha, that's for sure, but Captain Chen shouldn't pretend he doesn't know you then."

"By the way, brothers, let's exchange contact information. We can get together when we return to the base city or go to the Ares Palace."

The members of the two teams exchanged contact information, and the Divine Axe team left first, heading towards the Kyoto base city.

The Rock Team, led by Captain Chen Yan, took a detour and entered City 063 from another direction.

"Let's rest for a bit tonight, and start the hunt at dawn tomorrow. This hunt will focus on adapting to the surge of power in our bodies."

A relatively intact residential building became the temporary battleground for the Rock Team.

"Qiankun, you've used up a lot of mental energy today. You should rest and recover. You don't need to keep watch tonight."

Qu Ying walked over and sat down next to Xu Qiankun, and said.

"it is good"

Xu Qiankun did not refuse and fell asleep immediately, using his backpack as a pillow. He did need to use this method to recover his depleted mental energy.

The next morning.

Looking at his well-prepared companions, Chen Yan smiled and said, "The hunt begins."
