But to their surprise, when they approached cautiously, the giant tree did not attack them.
It didn’t show any welcome, but the giant tree did not resist noticeably either, and continued to indiscriminately share the magic environment it brought, Yun Dao was satisfied.
With this giant tree around, they could use this magic-rich area as their territory in the future.
Whether for normal magic growth or spell research, the magic power concentration here will be exceedingly effective.
After ordering the witches to clear out a construction area nearby, Yun Dao impatiently hurried to the corpse of that owl.
The Beast King’s corpse is undeniably a treasure!
The sea serpent they hunted last time already provided her with a Tier Six weapon, even though the horn gathered with all its superpowers was likely unique.
Other bones on its body were also turned into magic wands for other witches or became the foundations for magic items.
Even the snakeskin and scales became materials for the soft armor magic robe they wear.
It can be said that if handled properly, these Beast King’s corpses could bring them returns no less than points!
Upon examination, the corpse gave Yun Dao a surprise.
Although it didn’t have a horn like the sea serpent, the feathers on this bird are also fine materials.
Some of the key tail feathers and wing feathers are excellent mold guiding materials, even ordinary feathers can be used as consumables for enhancing fire series spells.
Just as Yun Dao was preparing to further dismantle more materials and test their functions, she suddenly turned her head.
In the Spirit network, the witch she assigned to monitor the giant crocodile had already sent back information, seeing the giant crocodile emerging from the earth again and approaching them.
Although Yun Dao had already guessed that the giant crocodile wasn’t going to attack them, she still had the witches form a combat formation, just in case.
"What’s the Beast King’s purpose this time coming here?"
After casting the Sky Control Technique to fly over, Yun Dao was the first to speak.
"I helped you solve a hazard, caught the prey that ran away, shouldn’t you humans thank me first?"
Even though it was the one willing to ally, fearing to be eliminated, as the Beast King it couldn’t lose face.
"But isn’t it you who was snatching our severely injured prey?"
Yun Dao understood what the giant crocodile meant, but she wouldn’t indulge, especially since they were currently at the advantage!
Even though their magic power had been greatly consumed after the battle, the giant crocodile didn’t know this.
The lance in her hand had already been recharged, seemingly ready to strike at any moment, ready to start hunting again and retrieve their lost prey from the giant crocodile.
The giant crocodile, having witnessed the witches’ performance, wouldn’t dare take the risk.
It had seen two arch-nemeses who constantly oppressed it, was helpless at the hands of these humans.
Regarding its own life, it always behaved very instinctively.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been targeted by two Beast Kings, yet still survive despite being restrained.
"I am not here to become enemies with you, humans!
I admit your strength, but after your recent battle, you surely consumed quite a bit.
If we really fight, it won’t be good for either of us..."
Although its tone seemed firm, its aura had clearly subsided, demonstrating its willingness to submit.
Seeing the giant crocodile being so accommodating, Yun Dao once more considered the idea of recruiting it under her command.
Promptly, she provided a stepping stone, giving the giant crocodile some face.
"In that case, why don’t we cooperate?"
Humans, how do you intend to cooperate?"
"Yes, cooperate. You’ve seen our combat power, our aim is to kill as many Beast Kings as possible.
And you happen to know information about other Beast Kings, we could hunt together.
I’ll provide combat power, you provide intelligence."
Since both parties weren’t familiar yet, suddenly asking the other to join one’s ranks, besides whether the other would even believe it, even if agreed, she’d suspect the giant crocodile had other motives.
A collaboration that can enhance mutual trust is a great opportunity.
Moreover, what she said is indeed her real plan, wanting to hunt down other Beast Kings, intelligence is essential, compared to collecting it herself, as a "native", the giant crocodile clearly knows more.
"Then what can I get?"
"We can promise not to act against you in the end, and only take fur, bones, and Crystal Core from the final prey."
Based on Yun Dao’s research, the hunting of mutated creatures by other mutated creatures is largely due to their blood flesh.
Yun Dao suspected this was likely the same reason as their barracks building recruiting which requires consuming blood flesh.
She guessed it might be beneficial for their growth.
However, for the witches, the effect wasn’t apparent, and even not as efficient as their usual magic power absorption.
Of course, this may seem like questioning why one doesn’t eat minced meat.
After all, other creatures don’t have the witches’ powerful magic power absorption efficiency, although blood flesh is inefficient, it is nevertheless an additional income.
In fact, even Bai Yi’s creatures would similarly absorb magic power from external substances like blood flesh to expedite their growth.
Only that compared to blood flesh, a less efficient material, Bai Yi used more advanced, higher efficiency Magic Power Crystals.
Hearing the terms Yun Dao proposed, the giant crocodile was silent for quite a while, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
Yun Dao didn’t rush it, just maintained the magic power supply in her lance.
