Moonlight Demon Tiger (6)

Yang Guang looked around. He checked the belonging inside every Spatial Jade Bracelet he kept as well.

"The requirement in the Middle Note is fulfilled by my Jade Container through refining the blood from the corpses of Scarlet Red Boars."

"The requirement for Essence Note is also fulfilled from the medicinal pellets I've taken from the Pill-servants. What was left is the three ingredients from Fresh Note."

"There's a chest here, which belonged to one of the Pill-Servants. I believe it is used to keep the 100 years old Ironwood. As for the Three-Petals Mountain Lily, it must be the one inside this medicinal sachet."

"Then... Where did the Hundred Years Old Mountain Spring comes from?" Yang Guang deducted everything that possibly comes from what he had. But no matter how much he tried, he couldn't get the answer regarding the water from Mountain Spring.

Since it is pointless for him to keep wasting time, Yang Guang took one of the Small Huang Pellet and distributed the Soul Qi inside his body to melt the pill. Through this way, he can efficiently absorb all the medicinal effects hidden inside.

Half an hour later, Yang Guang continued. He's now much more energetic than before he came. Due to the earlier trauma and facts which are hard for him to process using a short time, Yang Guang's performance can be said to be reduced by 15-20%.

Sometimes, the mentality is crucial in cultivation. A well-prepared cultivator could always perform with 120% efficiency, while the unprepared might face trouble in activating 80% of their capability.

...

"Brother Tian!" a group of book-servants called his name from afar.

"Go in and get some rest. Did you see anyone on your way here?" Tian Peng leads the group of four past their simple barricade and had two book-servants to examine those with minor wounds.

"My group found two dead book-servants on our way here. We gave them a simple burial and brought back their belongings. But none of us saw any of the corpses belonged to those from Ten Thousand Pills Sect." the leader of this group of four replied.

"Rest well. I'll keep a lookout until the next morning." Tian Peng calmed this book-servant and left.

In the next one hour period, multiple teams of four to six people came. Their numbers reach four hundred people in a flash, with more than half of them are either injured or poisoned. Few people that had it worst already pass away in the middle of treatment.

As the top book-servant from Mystic Tower, Tian Peng's Spatial Jade Bracelet also equipped with a hundred bottles of Healing Pills, Antidote, and Support Pills. Other than that, he's also given the task to rally the others whenever he sees fit.

"Boom!"

"Urgh!" a pill-servant tumbled backward until he came out from the thick bushes.

"Get them!" Tian Peng ordered. Jumping up onto a small mountain near their camp, Tian Peng withdraws a bow from his bracelet and nock it with three arrows.

"Single Thrust!" Tian Peng fired three accurate shots. Each has its own direction of flight and entered through the bushes in three sides. Soon, movement is caught from behind the thick foliage.

"Brother Tian. One of your arrows almost got me. Don't you think you should stop playing with headshots?" Yang Guang came out with two pill-servants corpses at each hand.

Both of them had an arrow on the back of their skull, showing how accurate is Tian Peng's shot.

"You're here. I'm so worried, do you know?" Tian Peng came down from the small mountain and grabbed Yang Guang's shoulder. The pair laughed together after a simple exchange of words.

Their regroup operation continues until nightfall. The people inside this camp increased from four to seven hundred, but those still fit to fight tomorrow is around 270 to 300 people.

And from the report of everyone present, Tian Peng compiled two different reports as preparation. One is the Number of Kill List, and the other is Number of Killed List.

The Kill List represents the number of Ten Thousand Pills Sect's Pill Servant is killed by book-servants, while the Killed List means how many members they found murdered by the pill-servants.

400 Kill, and 600 Killed.

The report is depressing, especially for the five temporary leaders including, Tian Peng and Yang Guang. Tian Peng is naturally chosen as the Mystic Tower's leader due to his position as the top book-servant, but as for Yang Guang...

He's currently the top contribution amongst them. Yang Guang returned with twenty-one belongings and bracelets from fellow Book-Servants, along with fifteen bracelets from the Pill-Servants. Even in terms of Cultivation Beast hunted, he's twenty kills above everyone after counting what he looted from the dead.

"We have to come up with a decision soon. Moving to either west or east to search for the other two groups, or proceed into the Inner Region." their discussion is burdened by this question.

"I suggest we search for the other groups. More than half of our people are injured and could die anytime. Why should we continue with the mission?" the first of five answered.

"I'm with your idea. I don't want to see the scene we're cornered by the people from Ten Thousand Pills Sect at our back and Cultivation Beast at our front." the guy beside also supported him.

"I'm voting that we proceed further into the Inner Region. We have members from Thunder Tower, which means we can leave our marking clearly to fellow members of the Polished Jade Tower." Yang Guang is the third person to give his suggestion.

"I suggest that we proceed as well. Brother Yang Guang is correct. Moving around the safe area might save us from the Cultivation Beast, but the human heart is hard to guess. We might fall into their trap if we stay for more than one night." now, only Tian Peng yet to speak.

They're currently at two against two. The crucial decision is now at Tian Peng's suggestion.

"We're going inside the Inner Region. That way, the safety of our members will be higher than getting killed like a sitting duck inside this safe zone!" Tian Peng chose the option voted by Yang Guang and another leader.

"Brother Tian, I hope we're not making the wrong decision." the two leaders that suggest to search shakes their head due to disappointment.

"Don't worry. We're going to be fine." Tian Peng added his word to convince them. The other left this small camp soon after the discussion is over, except Tian Peng and Yang Guang.

"Brother Tian, tell me if you need me to do anything." Yang Guang said.

"Ah, there's indeed something I need your help with." Tian Peng chuckled...
