Chapter 252: Chapter 181 Conflict

Li Yi saw the extraordinary creature that had fallen not far from the building and he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the sniper rifle was powerful, relying solely on firearms to kill an extraordinary creature was immensely challenging. Such creatures, with their terrifying life force, could almost never be killed unless hit in a vital spot. Not to mention, extraordinary creatures also possessed superior intelligence and formidable strength.

He had succeeded, truth be told, thanks to the two Spiritual Perception Masters who had fought desperately, creating the opportunity for Li Yi; otherwise, no matter how long he had staked out, he would never have found the chance to shoot.

"Let’s go; let’s go down and check."

Li Yi saw that the extraordinary creature was bleeding on the ground and hadn’t gotten up. It was only after a good while that he put away the sniper rifle, then called out and immediately exited the abandoned building with Zheng Gong.

At that moment, Wang Yu, however, looked uncertain. He clutched his bleeding chest, his face pale from severe injuries. He urgently needed to be taken to the hospital for treatment; otherwise, he didn’t know if he could survive such severe injuries.

Only...

Wang Yu watched warily as Li Yi and Zheng Gong came out of the building.

"Thanks to the two officers from the investigation bureau for helping us kill this extraordinary creature, cough, cough. If it weren’t for your timely assistance, we would probably have been killed by this extraordinary creature."

He expressed his thanks right away and, upon seeing that neither Li Yi nor Zheng Gong were Spiritual Perception Masters, he immediately clarified that they had helped him kill the extraordinary creature, not that they had killed it themselves.

Li Yi caught the implied meaning, and he frowned: "I was on top of the building for a long time and I hesitated to shoot, just waiting for you to successfully hunt the extraordinary creature to avoid any misunderstandings, like us investigators intentionally taking someone else’s prey. Unfortunately... it seems you failed to hunt it at last, so we had to step in at the crucial moment to save you and also kill the extraordinary creature. After all, beyond the Ruined District lies the city area, and I couldn’t let an extraordinary creature enter the city area directly as it would cause a lot of trouble and unrest."

His meaning was also very clear.

It’s not that I wanted to steal your prey, but that you failed to hunt and I had to intervene to save you.

Wang Yu wanted to speak, but at that moment he saw Du Mingfang, who had been flung by the extraordinary creature earlier, limping out of a nearby abandoned building. He was also injured, having been kicked so hard by the extraordinary creature that who knows how many bones were broken. However, compared to Wang Yu, his injuries were more manageable.

"Officers, we are grateful that you fired your guns to help and save us, but this extraordinary creature was our prey, so we hope you don’t have any excessive ideas," Du Mingfang said bluntly, without any courtesy.

At the same time, other members of his team quickly gathered around.

They were three Cultivators in the inspiration realm; their faces now wore unwelcoming expressions as they stared at Li Yi and Zheng Gong.

"Indeed, the extraordinary creature was our prey, so we ask you now to leave immediately and avoid any misunderstanding, which would not be good for anyone."

They would not allow the prey they had painstakingly pursued to be taken away, even though Li Yi had indeed fired shots that saved them.

Seeing this, Zheng Gong’s expression grew solemn.

He understood that the value of an extraordinary creature was immense, so much so that it was enough for those two Spiritual Perception Masters to disregard any appearances. Of course, part of the reason they behaved so brazenly was that they saw him and his partner as alone and vulnerable.

Did they really have to leave without further ado?

After all, against two Spiritual Perception Masters and three Cultivators in the inspiration realm, there was no chance of winning...

Zheng Gong glanced at Li Yi, hoping he would have an idea at this moment.

Li Yi spoke directly: "By speaking this way, you make it sound like I came here intending to rob you. If I hadn’t fired my gun just now, you would all be dead and have no life to stand here and talk to me."

"Say what you want, but I’m taking that extraordinary creature’s corpse," Du Mingfang said coldly: "We’ve paid a huge price, and just because you fired a shot, it doesn’t become yours."

Li Yi looked at him and said: "Indeed, without your help, I couldn’t have killed this extraordinary creature, but similarly, without my shots, you all would’ve been finished. That’s a fact. So, how about being fair? Split it half and half, what do you say?"

"Split it and leave? Just an inspiration realm Cultivator thinking you’re mighty just because you have a sniper rifle! In front of us Spiritual Perception Masters, you are nothing. Competing with us for an extraordinary creature, are you qualified? Let your boss Zhang Lei come, then it would make more sense."

Du Mingfang scolded, not worried about offending Li Yi and Zheng Gong.

After all, they were just ordinary investigators, and their strength was very ordinary; offending them didn’t matter.

Seeing this, Wang Yu also spoke immediately: "You three, go and carry away the corpse of the extraordinary creature, prepare to leave the Ruined District. This hunting mission is complete. We need to go back and recover for a while, and we’ll group up again when there’s another opportunity."

The three Cultivators in the inspiration realm nodded and, ignoring Li Yi and Zheng Gong, went straight to carry the corpse of the Unicorn.

"You’re being a bit too much. If it’s necessary, we can take less. After all, we also contributed." Zheng Gong said, his eyes filled with a hint of anger.

Du Mingfang sneered: "You two young investigators should know, this isn’t Tianchang City; this is the Ruined District. If we’re pushed to the edge, we could kill you and no one would know. Don’t think just because you fired a shot and killed the extraordinary creature that you’re entitled to a share. If you don’t want to die here, leave now."
