As the two teams were on their way, Xingyuan showed the images recorded in the exploration gem that he and Cai'er had brought with them when they explored the Cave of Fear and Sorrow to himself and the curious members on Long Haochen's side.
As Xingyuan expected, the images recorded by the detection gem came to an abrupt end when he and Cai'er saw the Tower of Aion and then encountered an ambush by the ghost in the cave. The rest was all black, as if the detection gem had malfunctioned.
Long Haochen also had a wealth of knowledge. After all, during his training, he was guided by his father, who was a Divine Seal Knight, for a long period of time. It was not surprising that he knew about Necromancers.
However, Long Haochen's understanding of Necromancers was limited to this. Apart from knowing that they were the sinners who indirectly caused the humans on the Holy Demon Continent to be suppressed by the foreign demons into the current situation, he also knew that Necromancers were evil by nature and were an evil profession that manipulated the souls and bodies of the dead.
Although Long Haochen showed an extremely shocked expression when he saw the tower that was "suspected" to be the inheritance place of the Necromancer in the scene of exploring the gem, and wanted to ask Xingyuan about the whereabouts of the tower, Xingyuan had already thought of a response plan long ago.
That is, after he determined that the tower was not something he and Cai'er were capable of exploring, he dared not approach it again. He just didn't know why it disappeared later.
Of course, in order to make what you say more convincing.
For example, why neither of them explored the tower and why they stayed underground for such a long time, Xingyuan also gave a reasonable explanation for this.
Because he and Cai'er were besieged by a large number of undead creatures underground.
However, just when Xingyuan wanted to take out his severely damaged earth spirit robe to show everyone, he found that he couldn't find it in his three storage rings...
However, just when Xingyuan thought he had lost it accidentally, he felt a little sorry. After all, this robe was the equipment he bought with the first pot of gold he earned from selling pills after becoming a potion master.
Chen Ying'er, who was beside him, took out his earth spirit robe from her storage ring with a slightly red face.
"Captain, don't look for it anymore. It's here with me..."
Xingyuan: “…”
As if noticing the stiff expression on Xingyuan's face and the strange looks others gave her, Chen Ying'er quickly waved her hands and explained, "I saw the captain give it to me after he took it off last time, and he didn't ask me for it, so I put it in my storage ring. I thought I would ask the craftsman to help the captain fix it after we return to the Holy City."
Seeing Chen Ying'er's face getting redder, Xingyuan stopped teasing her. After all, some jokes can only be told in front of your teammates. There is no need to let others laugh at them.
"Thank you Ying'er for keeping my magic robe for me."
Xingyuan didn't get his magic robe back from Chen Ying'er in the end. After showing the severely damaged magic robe to Long Haochen and others, he asked Chen Ying'er and others to go back to the Holy City and ask the master to help him repair it at the Forger Association. After telling Long Haochen and his teammates the "full" details of his and Cai'er's exploration of the Howling Cave of Terror and giving them the most appropriate explanation, there were no other problems between the two teams, and they hurried on their way wholeheartedly.
They also quickly crossed two demon provinces and came to the Narik Province bordering the territory of the Temple Alliance. It was here that they left the Moonlight Merchant Group last time.
During this process, the two teams of Xingyuan and Long Haochen also completed many details such as the distribution of spoils.
After all, when the two teams first joined forces, they agreed that the spoils obtained by the two teams during the mission would be distributed in a ratio of 30% to 70%.
Although Xingyuan intended to take the benefit of the Tower of Aion for himself and Long Haochen's team's actual performance during the mission, taking only 30% of the benefits and spoils was really too little.
Therefore, he also planned to change the 3:7 split they had originally agreed upon to a 4:6 split, as a way for him to support Long Haochen's future efforts to overthrow the demon clan's dominance in the Holy Demon Continent.
Xingyuan's team, including Yue Mingnan and others who are somewhat obsessed with money, naturally would not object to anything he proposed in the team.
After all, Xingyuan has proved to them with practical actions that he is the most reliable leader. You know, when their Level 21 was just established, not only the outside world was not optimistic about their demon hunting team, in which all members except the team leader were female, but even they themselves were not optimistic about it.
Therefore, even if Xingyuan's current proposal was based on damaging the interests of their own team, and that 10% of the team's total gains be given to General No. 22 who was working with them on the mission, they had no objection to this.
You know, if Xingyuan and his group had not planned to hitchhike on the Moonlight Caravan and reach their destination unimpeded along the way, they would have known in advance that the second-in-command of the Demon Race, Agares, the Moon Demon God who ranked second among the Seventy-two Demon Gods, would appear on the caravan's route.
All of them might be dead now, so how can they have a good time discussing how to distribute the spoils?
It can be said that the entire team of General No. 21 has become a one-man show for Xing Yuan. The attitude of his teammates towards him as the team leader cannot be described by just the word admiration.
On the other hand, Long Haochen was naturally very depressed when he thought about the fact that he had been scolded by Dian Yan, a soldier in his own team, when he wanted to inquire about Xing Yuan's private affairs not long ago.
However, it is obvious that the first thing to do is to deal with Xingyuan’s proposal to change the originally agreed plan for the distribution of spoils.
As for Long Haochen personally, he could not accept that he and his team took 10% more spoils when they contributed far less than the other team during the mission together with the Xingyuan team.
However, his current position in the team is the leader. When doing things and making decisions, he cannot only consider his own personal feelings, but also has to ask for the opinions of his teammates.
Because in his opinion, other teammates' ideas in this regard should be very different from his. (End of this chapter)
