I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Zhang Min looked at the dead Zheng Qin with lingering fear, walked over to him, and kicked him.

"They're too ruthless."

Long Aotian looked at Jiang He:

"What do we do next?"

Jiang He pondered the approximate time; by now, the Stone Gathering Serpent had probably already "revived."

Jiang He looked at everyone and dropped a bombshell:

"The stone-gathering snake is not dead."

-

"The Stone-Gathering Serpent isn't dead?"

Zheng Jia frowned, glancing at the unchanged numbers on his exam admission ticket, and lowered the corners of his mouth slightly.

"No way. Brother Zheng, I just remembered that Zheng Qin definitely pierced the heart of the Stone Gathering Serpent. The fatal point of the Stone Gathering Serpent is in its heart."

"Yes, the Stone Gathering Serpent just died, didn't it?"

"I didn't receive my score on my exam admission ticket either. A C-rank monster is worth fifty points," said Zheng Jia's teammate.

"Could it be a bug? I think it's a delayed release. The Stone-Gathering Serpent clearly died right in front of us, how could it not be dead? Look, the corpse is still here."

Zheng Jia's teammate reached out and touched the Stone Gathering Snake:

"It still seems hot..."

Before the word "hu" could be uttered, the stone snake lying on the ground suddenly opened its eyes.

With its mouth wide open, the Stone Gathering Serpent swallowed the speaker whole in an instant before the cultivator could react.

"The Stone-Gathering Serpent isn't dead! Scatter!"

Zheng Jia yelled as he looked at the Stone Gathering Serpent, his expression remaining unchanged despite the fact that his teammate had been swallowed and died.

Zheng Jia just felt it was a pity.

Unfortunately, one less lure was needed.

Zheng Jia was the first to draw his sword, the moisture on it carrying a chilling aura. Without hesitation, he thrust it towards the Stone-Gathering Serpent.

The others dispersed as well, and only when they saw the Stone Gathering Serpent with its eyes open did they believe that it was not dead.

This is a C-rank monster. It will take half a day to fight it. That team was really something, they couldn't kill it, so they had to fight it again.

Zheng Jia was very puzzled by the "resurrection" of the Stone Gathering Snake. How could the snake suddenly come back to life when it was right in front of them?

But now is not the time to think about that.

Zheng Jia's team, including himself and Zheng Qin, consisted of five people he had gathered; the others were randomly matched by the system.

The nine people present lacked any sense of teamwork, and their positions were unclear, clearly indicating that they were all people who had never fought monsters before.

Zheng Jia was furious looking at the disorganized team.

"Why aren't you charging? What are you standing there like an idiot for?"

Zheng Jia led his teammates to fight the Stone Serpent, but when he actually led this group to fight monsters, he realized that everyone was fighting their own thing.

When the stone-gathering snake swept its tail, many people were knocked to the ground.

After being provoked into a berserk state by Jiang He, the Stone Gathering Serpent has been in a berserk state ever since, and it is now facing Zheng Jia and the others.

Because he had been killed by Jiang He and his group, his temper became even more volatile, and he would occasionally unleash the few remaining sharp thorns he had.

The team was in complete disarray. Zheng Jia and the others were all injured by the Stone Gathering Serpent. It took a long time for the serpent's heart to be found.

Upon seeing the location of his heart, Zheng Jia was overjoyed.

Just as he was about to attack, Zheng Qin returned:

"The shelter has been found, and Bai Zhizhou and the others are already inside."

"Well done."

Zheng Jia's gaze was focused on the Stone-Gathering Serpent. He only glanced at Zheng Qin briefly before speaking:

"You've come at the right time. This Stone-Gathering Serpent is still alive. I should have waited until Bai Zhizhou and the others finished fighting before we came out."

"It doesn't matter, we can drag it out until we're dead."

Zheng Jia was still drawing aggro, while the others were overjoyed to see Zheng Qin return.

Who knew this C-rank monster would be so hard to defeat? They've used up a lot of supplies, but they still haven't killed it.

The Stone-Gathering Serpent has two hearts and such tough skin; it's a real tough nut to crack. Zheng Qin and Zheng Jia are the strongest members of their team.

Zheng Qin also has a fire elemental root, so with Zheng Qin joining the fight, they should have an easier time.

Zheng Qin lived up to expectations. As soon as he returned, he threw out the sword in his hand, which was imbued with fire elemental energy.

The others restrained the Stone-Gathering Serpent, while Zheng Qin unleashed his attacks, his sharp sword, streaked with fire, repeatedly piercing the serpent's heart.

Perhaps due to the end of its berserk state, or perhaps because its strength had been weakened by dying once, the Stone Gathering Serpent's second heart ruptured quickly under Zheng Qin's attack.

"Finally dead."

The others breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the Stone Gathering Serpent. Most of these people were assassins with poor endurance, and upon seeing the Stone Gathering Serpent die, most of them collapsed to the ground.

"No, the score wasn't added."

Zheng Qin frowned.

Upon hearing Zheng Qin's words, the others also hurriedly checked their scores on their admission tickets.

"Mine didn't get added either, what's going on? Could the Stone Gathering Snake still be alive?"

"A C-rank monster having two hearts is disgusting enough, don't tell me it has three."

"Impossible. I just touched the Stone Gathering Serpent's body and it was already ice-cold. It's definitely dead."

"Could it really be a bug?"

"There must be a system delay."

Zheng Jia looked at the score with frustration:

"Split the snake's body, find the crystal core, and dig it out first."

Zheng Jia looked at Zheng Qin and pursed his lips slightly:

"Did you just smash the heart of the Stone-Gathering Serpent?"

"I'm sure it's been shattered."

Zheng Jia thought for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason. Only after the Stone-Gathering Serpent's body was placed into the Mustard Seed Pouch did his heart calm down a little.

"It seems there really was a system delay. The Stone-Gathering Serpent is dead, and the points will be ours sooner or later. Now we're going to the Shelter. The White Continent must have killed some monsters, so their points will naturally be ours."

Zheng Jia silently suppressed the inexplicable panic rising in his heart. If he killed Bai Zhizhou and Long Aotian, their score would increase by another hundred points.

"Zheng Qin, lead the way."

"Ah."

Zheng Qin lowered his head and slowly led his teammates to the shelter along the route.

The stars hanging in the sky are slowly returning to the mountains, and they will disappear behind the mountains in just a few breaths.

Zheng Jia squinted as he entered the shelter. According to Zheng Qin, the third floor belonged to Hai Chongkong, while Bai Zhizhou and his six companions stayed on the second floor.

As soon as Zheng Jia entered the house, he received a notification that he had become the homeowner.

Now is not the time to study the rules of the shelter; he only wants to kill those six people.

The layout of the second floor is not much different from that of the first floor.

Zheng Jia looked at the four rooms on the first floor. Since Zheng Qin had scouted beforehand, Bai Zhizhou and Long Aotian were in the room on the left side of the entrance.

He knew both of them, and they posed the greatest threat.

As for the two female cultivators, one was a magic cultivator, so he only needed to make a move faster than her, and the other was a notorious waste of spiritual roots, so he didn't need to take action.

After assigning the personnel to the operation, Zheng Jia and Zheng Qin went into the house where Bai Zhizhou was.

Zheng Jia's actions were secretive, further enhanced by Zheng Qin's flying sword.

When they appeared in the room, Bai Zhizhou and Long Aotian were taken aback:

How did you find the shelter?

Zheng Jia glanced disdainfully at the two who were still at the Foundation Establishment stage:

“You low-level cultivators should just become our fertilizer. Zheng Qin followed you all the way without noticing. What else can you be but trash?”

After Zheng Jia finished speaking, he rushed forward and subdued Bai Zhizhou:

"Long Aotian is yours."

"Yes."

Seeing Zheng Jia rush forward, Zheng Qin followed suit.

Just as Long Aotian approached Bai Zhizhou intending to help, Zheng Qin clung to him.

Zheng Qin swiftly thrust out a flying sword.

However, the flying sword wasn't heading towards Long Aotian, but rather towards Zheng Jia.
