Chapter 411: Chapter 197: Cloud Jiao Advances, Beast Blood Consumption 3

That is to say, even if he comes to meet this target, it would take seven days.

The Cloud Jiao Team has twenty people, but not everyone is Xia Chuan.

In fact, except for Xia Chuan, only Qiu Peng has a strength exceeding twenty thousand pounds, while most others hover around fifteen thousand. Based on their mining capability, it would take at least seventeen or eighteen days, or even more, to complete this target.

This might squeeze their hunting time, right?

This is not just a matter for the Cloud Jiao Team, but everyone’s concern since their strength is not static and they will eventually advance.

For a moment, everyone’s eyes held a hint of confusion, looking at Luo Yuan, clearly questioning the target adjustment he suggested.

"You might think this target is a bit high, but rest assured, I haven’t finished. The maximum number for an Intermediate Team is fifty."

Fifty people?

Everyone present was stunned when they heard this number limit.

But immediately, they reacted, their expressions brightening slightly.

It is taboo to have too many people during hunting, so before, the members of the Hunting Department speculated that even if the Hunting Team advanced to Intermediate, the number wouldn’t exceed thirty. So when Luo Yuan mentioned fifty, they were stunned.

But in connection to the mining target just now, this number makes sense.

"Hunting with fifty people is definitely unrealistic, so as long as part of the team dedicates themselves to mining, this target isn’t hard to achieve."

"That makes sense, mining is much safer than hunting, and if one can stay at the camp to mine, while still earning contribution value from hunting, everyone would definitely prefer mining."

"Having more than twenty people hunting together is basically the limit, having more people makes hiding inconvenient and hard to command, leaving half to mine is just perfect."

"So it’s like this, that’s easier to discuss then."

...

"The Minister indeed thought this through well. This way, not only can we substantially increase the team’s maximum number, but it also addresses the issue of too many people when hunting, and greatly boosts the mining of coal and iron at the camp, achieving multiple goals in one stroke."

Hearing Luo Yuan’s sigh, Qiu Peng smiled and said, "Indeed, just now in the Earth-digging Realm, people are increasing, and most of them have just broken through. To send them hunting right away is too risky, it’s better to let them mine steadily for a while. Mining can also be cultivating, once the basic strength is enhanced, then go hunting, it’s not only more efficient but also safer."

Luo Yuan nodded, looking at the Cloud Jiao Team token in Qiu Peng’s hand, with a trace of envy in his eyes.

"My basic strength isn’t much different from the Minister’s, the setup of the Tiger Leopard Team members should be a bit stronger than the Cloud Jiao Team, but we have only hunted two types of Intermediate Cold Beasts, Snow Mane and Frost Wolf. Estimating the promotion to an Intermediate Team might take another one or two months."

Qiu Peng laughed when he heard this, he also knew the situation of the Tiger Leopard Team, Zou Yuankai, Ying Xuan, and considering Luo Yuan, whose basic strength is similar to Xia Chuan’s level, purely from the personnel setup, the Cloud Jiao Team indeed didn’t match them.

"Is the Minister’s Sword Puppet really that powerful?"

Luo Yuan certainly knew where the problem lay; he had also seen the Sword Puppet in the Craftsmen Department. Though it looked intimidating, he had not seen with his own eyes how the Sword Puppet fought, so naturally, he was curious.

Qiu Peng nodded heavily, speaking in a low voice, "It’s terrifying, the burst of power when that Sword Puppet attacks, not to mention Yuwen Dao, I suspect even his father Yuwen Hu may not be able to withstand it directly."

Luo Yuan’s expression brightened immediately, he surely didn’t doubt Qiu Peng’s words; during Yuwen Hu’s duel with the leader, the members of the initial batch of hunting teams, witnessed it firsthand.

"Don’t be hasty; advancing to Intermediate still requires patience. If you plan to lead a team to hunt new species, remember to come find me, I hunted five types with the Minister, I have some experience."

Qiu Peng also knew Luo Yuan was eager to advance, worried he might rush and have an accident, so he hastened to give advice.

Luo Yuan nodded, indicating his understanding, thought about Xia Chuan who hadn’t shown up all day, and hurriedly asked, "Where did the Minister go?"

"He just exchanged for ten pounds of Beast Blood and is cultivating at home now!"

Upon hearing Qiu Peng’s response, Luo Yuan’s expression tightened, exclaiming in astonishment, "Ten pounds? The Minister can now use ten pounds of Beast Blood at once?"

Currently, Beast Blood is considered the most important cultivation material in the camp; just one pound costs fifty contribution points, so one generally exchanges as much only as needed.

He also started using Beast Blood but could only use up to six pounds at most in one go.

The excruciating pain left Luo Yuan shuddering just thinking about it; if not for cultivation, probably no one would want to endure this suffering.

Using six pounds once almost gave him a psychological block, so hearing Xia Chuan exchanged for ten pounds at once shocked him.

Qiu Peng nodded, although he hadn’t started using Beast Blood, he had witnessed Xia Chuan’s cultivation scene, so he understood why Luo Yuan was so shocked.

But thinking of something, Qiu Peng asked, "At the beginning of the month, when the leader gathered the Earth-digging Realm Limit individuals to teach them experiences breaking through to the Cold Resistance Level, you attended, right? Didn’t they say the more Beast Blood you use at once, the higher your potential will become, haven’t you increased the dosage recently?"

Hearing this, Luo Yuan showed a wry smile and said, "Of course, I have increased it, but now I can only use up to six pounds at most, and the gap with the Minister is not only not narrowing, it’s growing wider."
