Chapter 222: High-Quality Space Crystals

  "First and sed squads, get on the lift!"

  "Lower the lift!"

  Ange decisively gave the order and also stepped onto the lift.

  She g the adventurers' incredulous expressions and instinctively stood in front of Matthew, a surge of pride and fidence swelling in her heart.

  When she learhat the Arist was actually the Lord, Ange wasn't surprised but rather delighted.

  Truly worthy of being the Lord!

  Ange maintained unditional trust in the Lord and did not question his purpose. She tacitly chose to cooperate.

  The adventurers above, seeing the soldiers uatingly board the lift and desd to the entrance of the ruins, all gasped in surprise.

  Was this fidence?

  Or were they really not afraid of death?

  They couldn't uand!

  The noble heirs, who had tried to gather but were directly blocked by the soldiers, looked a bit displeased.

  They recalled Yaya's figure, and their words were filled with envy and jealousy as they watched the soldiers desd oer another, barely cealing their malice:

  "Is it really not dangerous down there?"

  "Who knows? There could still be other dangers down there."

  "With so many monsters, it might not be the most dangerous o."

  "That's right, expl ruins isn't that simple."

  "..."

  Although they spoke like this, the adventurers around them could detect a bit of bitterness ione.

  Still, they were also a bit worried in their hearts, fearing something might g.

  Matthew paid no attention to the otion above and carefully observed the surroundings, using dozens of arrows ented with Light Spell.

  The pce where they nded was the top of a castle, different from what Matthew remembered.

  Matthew wasn't surprised by this; when he ventured into these ruins, it had already been four or five years ter, and the ruins had been remodeled many times.

  Perhaps finding the legendary earth elemental crystal he remembered would require some effort.

  After firming the area was safe, Ange quickly ahe soldiers to move all the piled-up corpses onto the lift.

  The soldiers worked swiftly, quickly clearing the piles of corpses.

  Though still wary of the darkness in the distahey strictly followed the orders.

  This is the differeween ordinary soldiers aes!

  Matthew looked at the grotesque corpses of the Sky-Splitting Lizards, repeatedly examining the pitch-bck scales on their bodies, then reached out to touch them.

  Only then did the Sky-Splitting Lizards' attributes appear before Matthew.

  "Pseudoure?"

  "So this is why it was affected by Yaya..."

  "Two advanced feats?"

  "Both very suitable for sneak attacks, and bined with the underground ruins' enviro, its attack power could reach 25. No wohose adventurers couldn't withstand it..."

  "Its attributes are nearly the same as what I remember, but it doesn't show any traits reted to produg high-quality space crystals?"

  Matthew's thoughts shifted as he g the piled Sky-Splitting Lizard corpses. With a quick s, he "saw" six or seven faintly glowing space crystals.

  After hesitating for a moment, Matthew ultimately did not pocket them and instead said a few words to Beelzebub beside him.

  Not long after, those watg the ruirance saw the lift slowly rising, piled with corpses.

  The adventurers collectively breathed a sigh of relief, the a wave of excitement.

  They still remembered that the sin monsters also ted as their spoils of war.

  However, they hadn't gone down earlier; everything had been brought up by the Bay Territory soldiers. Would the other side aowledge this?

  The adventurers were uain.

  After all, though they had marked their crossbow bolts with their insignias, if the other side refused t, such things had happened before.

  Just as they were feeling anxious, Beelzebub slowly walked up.

  Holding a Sky-Splitting Lizard corpse in one hand, uhe shocked gazes of numerous adventurers, he hung it on an iron hook and suspe in mid-air.

  To everyone's surprise, Beelzebub had no iion of speaking. Instead, he pulled a sharp curved knife from his waist.

  In front of everyone, with a few swift movements, he peeled off the Sky-Splitting Lizard's pitch-bck hide.

  As the thick st of blood spread, everyoared at the hide in Beelzebub's hand, their ears filled with his deep voice:

  "Medium-level prote, excellent shadow affinity, suitable for making stealth-reted leather armor and gear, lightly damaged. Bay Territory offers 1 gold for it."

  As soon as he said this, nearly all the adventurers wideheir eyes, excitedly watg Beelzebub tinue his work.

  They uood what he meant.

  He ublicly setting a price!

  "Fresh meat, medium nutritional value, excellent shadow energy. Bay Territory offers 1 silver per kilogram."

  "Skeleton and internal ans, bought as a set for 10 silver s..."

  Watg Beelzebub pletely disassemble the Sky-Splitting Lizard.

  Carefully telling everyone how much each part could sell for.

  This gave all the adventurers present an ued sense of joy.

  Notig their gazes, Beelzebub felt a slight sense of satisfa in his heart. He cleared his throat lightly, waiting for all eyes to focus on him.

  Theook the Sky-Splitting Lizard's skull from the pile of bones, meticulously disassembled it in front of everyone, aracted a crystal-clear bck crystal, calmly speaking in a low voice:

  "Additionally, this magical creature our Lord calls the Sky-Splitting Lizard produces the high-quality space crystal I hold in my hand."

  "Bay Territory's buying price is 1000 gold s per crystal!"

  The space crystal itch bck, and even under sunlight, it did not refley light.

  Yet at this moment, it was so mesmerizing.

  1000 gold s per crystal!

  This had more purchasing power than 10 million in Matthew's inal world!

  Even a high-tier adventurer, busy for aire year, could only earn this amount.

  For mid-tier adventurers, it was an irresistible temptation!

  This seemingly insignifit space crystal represented a ce to ge their fate.

  "Is this what other adventurers meant when they said Bay Territory creates the best money-making enviro for everyone?"

  One adventurer's muttered words suddenly resonated with many others, stirring an indescribable feeling in their hearts.

  What excited everyone even more was that Beelzebub, holding the space crystal that drew everyone's eyes, calmly said:

  "So, who is Mr. Copperbeard? e up and cim your 1000 gold s!"

  The dwarf warrior, who had been drinking and watg the se, widened his eyes in surprise and delight!
