Chapter 1508: Chapter 96: Loot a Burning House

Tang Zheng wanted to summon Daylily to treat her, but when his eyes landed on Qin Yan, he realized that she was sitting in the corner and had not fully mutated, although her right hand was still swelling and distorting.

"she has entered the second rank of Heroes and is using the burst of Life Energy to temporarily suppress the rebellious Mitochondria," Sister Q explained, "Hurry and bring those Crystals over, have her swallow them, a few more seconds of delay and she’ll still mutate."

"Okay!" Tang Zheng, frantic with worry, didn’t even consider using a Conqueror for experiments, he extended his right hand and sucked all the Crystals over, then took out a bucket of clean water and poured it over them, washing away the broken flesh and bloodstains.

"Sorry, I couldn’t help you!" Qin Yan’s face was pale as she apologized guiltily, she had mutated out of concern for Tang Zheng, but just suppressing the rebellious Mitochondria had already consumed most of her energy, leaving her unable to help.

"It’s fine." Tang Zheng coughed a few times and spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at the Crystals of varying sizes and asking Sister Q, "Which one to eat?"

"The larger ones." Sister Q had already seen the skeptical look from Dantai and obviously questioned why she knew so much, but had no choice but to brace herself and carry on.

"Daylily, treat her." Tang Zheng fed the Crystals to Qin Yan and then had the Priestess girl cast Healing Magic on her without regard for consumption.

Seeing this, Sister Q felt relieved.

"Should they all eat them?" Tang Zheng didn’t rush into action, and when he saw that Qin Yan’s right hand stopped twisting after swallowing a Crystal, just when he thought everything was fine, her arm exploded with a bang.

"Yes, they all need to eat them." Just as Sister Q finished speaking, she heard Tang Zheng roar.

"What’s going on?" Tang Zheng was startled, his face splattered with blood, he didn’t bother to wipe it and rushed to support Qin Yan, covering the stump of her arm.

"I’m fine, much better," Qin Yan smiled, wanting to reassure Tang Zheng, the burning sensation in her body was quickly receding.

"Yes, let’s stop the bleeding first." Tang Zheng took out a Sweet Spring Potion and poured a whole bottle into the beauty, then went to the Old Soldier and Dantai and fed each a Crystal.

"Mu Nianqi, Sister Q, for you!" Tang Zheng wasn’t the kind of man who showed off to beauties, treating everyone equally, he simply threw the Crystals at them.

"Group Leader, what about us two?" Yu Deye’s tone was clearly ingratiating, Wei Binbai didn’t speak, but his eager eyes said everything.

After Tang Zheng advanced to the third rank of Heroes, they no longer had any pride.

Jiang Xiuming didn’t speak, having once been a Group Leader and combined with the rank of Hero 3, he couldn’t bring himself to beg.

In this world, there are always some people who have not lost their self-respect, of course, there are also those without any bottom line.

"Group Leader Tang, please help us too, we are comrades in the same trench," a Group Leader suggested, making it sound like if Tang Zheng didn’t help, it would show a lack of team honor.

"Bring two pieces of S-class Equipment to trade!" Tang Zheng glanced at Mu Nianqi, he didn’t feel close to them just because those two were her companions, their cold observation had deeply hurt him.

"I’ll trade!" Wei Binbai agreed briskly, Yu Deye was a bit petty and didn’t want to give up, "Group Leader Tang, we’re a team, shouldn’t you take care of your Group Members?"

Tang Zheng ignored him, picked up the Space Wristwatches dropped by the tough guy and the tall skinny man, Team Battles were indeed a chance to make a fortune, where risk comes with great rewards.

The remaining Conquerors didn’t hastily speak up, firstly because they were afraid of being refused and losing face, secondly, they wanted to see if the Crystals were effective.

"Who can outlast the other?" Tang Zheng wasn’t in a hurry and couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to them.

"Yu Deye, give him Equipment, in exchange for Crystals," Mu Nianqi jumped up, took a deep breath, then took out an S-Level Shield and threw it to Tang Zheng, "I don’t like taking advantage of others."

"Whatever." Tang Zheng took it without any politeness, he already knew that the queen didn’t want to owe favors.

"We owe you one for this time," the Old Soldier expressed his feeling of uselessness, Dantai moved his lips a few times and didn’t say it out loud, he also felt guilty.

"Don’t worry about it, everyone has their own strengths," Tang Zheng comforted his two friends, and looked at the unyielding Jiang Xiuming, instead tossing him a Crystal.

"Thank you." Jiang Xiuming also gave Tang Zheng a piece of S-class Equipment.

"Group Leader Tang, I could use a Crystal too," Wang Jin saw those who had eaten the Crystals recovering and couldn’t help but speak up.

"Group Leader Tang, I’ll give you a piece of Equipment for a Crystal," the voice of a short-haired Group Leader was very cold, as if they thought it was a trade and there was no need to be servile.

"You guys seem to have forgotten something. Although Team Battles are prohibited, it hasn’t been specified that I must help you, right?" Tang Zheng found it amusing, "When I was fighting just now, none of you were prepared to help."

"You also watched the tall skinny guy and the tough guy die, didn’t you?" The short-haired Group Leader was rejected and couldn’t hold back his face, ridiculing Tang Zheng.

"Yes, that’s why I’m not complaining about you, I’m just stating a fact, I don’t need to save you." Tang Zheng took a sip of Sweet Spring, regaining some strength, then turned to Sister Q, attempting to probe her, "What’s the next step?"

The Conquerors were at a loss for words; in fact, they had all been influenced by Tang Zheng’s good reputation and thought to take advantage of him, leading to the current situation. If it were any other time, a fair trade would have happened long ago.

"Group Leader Tang, help me!" Fu Tianxiao pleaded, thinking she was about to mutate, her face turned deathly pale.

The woman was still useful, after all, Psychic type allies were not many, so Tang Zheng personally went to her side and fed her a Crystal.

"You’re amazing!" Tianxiao Fu was overjoyed, kissing Tang Zheng.

"I’ll put up one piece of 2S equipment, no, two pieces; that should suffice now, right?" A wealthy Group Leader got tired of the standoff, resulting in a higher trade volume.

Tang Zheng shook his head.

"What? Not enough?" the short-haired Group Leader argued with a sense of injustice, "Don’t be greedy, remember we still have to work together in the future, don’t make this ugly."

"Haha!" Tang Zheng found it laughable and couldn’t be bothered with this guy.

"Stop arguing, Group Leader Tang, I’ll put up a 3S-level Shield." The Group Leader who had just spoken shouted and threw over a Shield.

"A very wise choice." Tang Zheng promptly tossed over the Crystal, smiling at the other party’s eagerness to swallow it, "Does anyone else want to trade?"

"Aren’t you afraid this will make things difficult for you in the future?" The short-haired Group Leader wasn’t convinced; 3S-level equipment wasn’t typically something you could buy from the Trojan Room, it was all obtained by risking one’s life to kill bosses. To give it up so easily seemed to him to be letting the other party get it too cheaply.

Tang Zheng shrugged nonchalantly.

"I’ll take one." Wang Fang compromised.

"You just need to give one piece of 2S-level prop." Tang Zheng wasn’t foolish and priced some people very low.

"I want one too." Yue Jing, being somewhat stingy, handed over a piece of 2S equipment.

Tang Zheng didn’t accept it and just looked at Yue Jing.

"Alright, 3S then." Yue Jing felt embarrassed under the stare and was about to exchange it, but Tang Zheng stopped him.

"Forget it, let’s just call it even considering we’ve fought together before." Tang Zheng didn’t mind doing a favor.

Yue Jing’s feelings towards Tang Zheng were a mixture of emotions.

"No way for you, it must be 3S-level." Kevo was about to speak when Tang Zheng cut him off.

Most Conquerors sighed in resignation, wishing Tang Zheng would just drop dead, but still had to trade with a smile on their faces. A few misers were reluctant to part with their possessions.

"There are plenty of Crystals, but I’m short on time, you know, I’ll be leaving here in a minute." Tang Zheng took out a frozen Lizard and let Qin Yan take a bite, "Can we move on now?"

"Can’t it be cheaper? 3S-level equipment is really too valuable."

"Sure, you can give two pieces of 3S-level." Tang Zheng’s response shocked the other party, who didn’t expect a bargain to lead to an increased price.

"Don’t just stand there, agree to it, are you guys dumb? If you die, all your possessions will belong to someone else." Wang Fang tried to reason, finding their stubbornness nonsensical. Why should anyone save you if you’re not willing to pay a price?

A few more trades happened, but three still remained, hoping against hope and glaring at Tang Zheng with covetous eyes.

"I..." As the short-haired Group Leader spoke, his body suddenly swelled, with blisters like tumors forming on his skin, which was disgusting.

"Give us the Crystal." The two remaining members, horrified by his appearance, quickly took out their 3S equipment and made a trade with Tang Zheng.

"I’ll exchange, I’ll give two pieces!" The short-haired Group Leader attempted to rush towards Tang Zheng, unable to remain calm under the pressure of death, "No, three pieces."

"Even if you offer five pieces, it’s too late for you." The Old Soldier saw for the first time someone so foolish. Dantai, however, understood, given the enormous value of 3S equipment.

A Gravity Bomb was fired, hitting the short-haired Group Leader and sending him flying.

Tang Zheng didn’t dare to delay, and traded with the other two guys.

"What do we do with him? If he mutates completely, he might be tough to deal with." Tang Zheng had built up some good will, and Yue Jing began to extend an olive branch.

"Naturally, we kill him." At Tang Zheng’s command, everyone opened fire on the short-haired Group Leader, their resentment over being cheated out released on him.

The death of the Doctor also opened the passage to the Gladiator Arena, and Tang Zheng and his people were able to leave.

"Quick, look at the Hero Ranking, Tang Zheng has risen to ninth place." Lu Fan could only monitor Tang Zheng’s safety through score changes since communications were blocked once his uncle entered the underground center, because when someone dies, their name would be erased.

"As expected of the Group Leader, he must have taken down some boss, no idea what good loot he got?" Sha Ou exclaimed; they were resting in a pavilion, having just encountered a punishment squad. If it weren’t for Li Xinlan and Pang Meiqin’s desperate fighting, there would definitely have been fatalities, though several were still seriously injured.

"The team ranking is about to enter the top fifteen." Xu Biyun was also happy.

"You guys should look at the individual ranking; the last few are going to catch up to us soon." Shen Qingshuang looked uneasy, if it weren’t for her Mechanical Dragonfly’s scouting ability, which was quite good at casting a net to find mob enemies and avoid most punishment squads, their team would have surely been annihilated.

"Keep moving!" Li Xinlan urged on her peers with a clenched bite of her white teeth, the time was critical.

While running through the Passage, Tang Zheng let others have the chance to attack the mob soldiers and took the opportunity to check the Spoils of War. (To be continued.
