It wasn't just Little Demons.
Ordinary adventurers, unless they had taken a specific quest, would generally steer clear of this creature!
Although this guy's dropped Demon Crystals were large and valuable, grinding a few more Crack Ants would yield the same effect, with much lower risk compared to taking on the Giant Centipedes.
From an economic perspective, this indeed made sense, but from the perspective of "experience," it was a completely different story.
The motivation of players grinding monsters differed from that of adventurers; the latter did it for money, while the former did it more for experience.
As their character levels continued to rise, the experience provided by other monsters in the second level of the labyrinth became increasingly limited for Yiye Zhiqu and Hu Wan.
Especially since they had recently formed a team with two new members as the frontline, now the experience had to be shared among four people.
