Seeing how their tribe leader was killed, the remaining Nascent Soul Realm Zasfin immediately gave up and decided to flee. However, he was simply not as fast as Roan, so it didn't take long until Roan finished him off as well. 'Sure enough, it's just like what Sister Orb said. None of these guys tried to sacrifice their Nascent Soul for more power. Well, that's good for me, I guess.'
Roan didn't even stop to think about the two Zasfins that just died. They thought about humans as nothing more than expendable resources, so why should he care? Besides, it was a lot easier trying to kill than prevent taking someone's life while fighting. Roan, of course, knew that very well.
Soon after, Roan returned to the tribe he left behind while pursuing the last Zasfin. The Zasfins at the Core and Soul Fusion Realm already took flight the moment their tribe leader died and ran away. The others with lower cultivation also didn't waste time before they ran on foot. In the end, only the low-level Zasfins and the human slaves remained there.
'Hmm...what should I do? Should I just get rid of the remaining Zasfins and leave this tribe for the humans to take care of?'
However, Roan immediately shook his head as he soon thought, 'A few Zasfins already ran in several directions while I was pursuing the last guy. It wouldn't take long before other Zasfins arrive to check the situation. Most likely, this tribe would be claimed by some else. The humans here definitely don't have the ability to defend themselves. Well, chances are that instead of being killed, they would just become another tribe's slaves.'
In the end, Roan decided to not do anything before deciding to head inside the main building. The place had a few simple formations to stop trespassers. However, at Roan's level, it wasn't anything too difficult to break through. After that, he began to look around for things he might need.
Roan found quite a few Rank Three Spirit Stones, which seemed to be accumulated by the Zasfin leader throughout his lifetime. Naturally, he sent all of that into the Dimensional Realm. There were also a few pieces of equipment, but they were far from what Rean could forge himself. In any case, Roan might be able to sell them in a Zasfin city's shop for Spirit Stones, so he took them all as well. Last but not least, Roan also found a few useful herbs. It seemed like the Zasfin who lived here knew a little about alchemy, but not that much.
Roan then left the main building before taking flight as he inwardly muttered, 'Nothing that useful. Let's try another one.'
A few days later, a rumor began to spread in the tribes around Koran Forest. Medium-sized tribes were being attacked one after another by a demon beast and a Nascent Soul Realm enemy. However, no one knew what that demon beast was, nor could they see the face of the Nascent Soul Realm attacker.
At some point, over forty Nascent Soul Realm Zasfins died. Some of the tribes had all their experts wiped out. Others had some left, but none of their top ones remained. The only thing that the tribes failed to notice was that no humans died in the process, only Zasfins. Well, even if they had noticed, they would probably think that the enemy didn't care about slaves. After all, who would fight for humans in this world?
Eventually, the remaining medium-sized tribes got scared and asked the big tribes for help, telling them that this might be another ploy by the surrounding Empires. Whether it was true or not, the big tribes in this place wouldn't take chances, so they sent their Soul Transformation Realm warriors out.
Unfortunately for them, by the time they began to investigate, Rean, Roan, and Kentucky had already finished their assaults and returned to the valley. One must not forget that they had a time limit to find the treasures.
The last one to enter the valley was Kentucky, who carried a very big totem on his talons. Rean and Roan, who had arrived earlier, couldn't help but become curious as to what the totem was. "That should be the treasure Kentucky found in the tribes."
Roan nodded and waited for the Minokawa to land before saying, "Alright, these attacks have given us quite a good boost to our Spirit Stone reserves and other uncommon materials. However, it's time to decide on who obtained the best treasure."
Kentucky immediately raised his wing as he hastily said, "I go first!" He then pushed the totem forward before sending his Spiritual Energy inside it. As soon as he did that, the totem began to shine with warm light. However, that wasn't the impressive thing about it.
Rean touched the totem and couldn't help but feel impressed as he muttered, "Yang Energy, and such a pure one at that..." He then looked at Kentucky and asked, "Where did you find this?"
Kentucky puffed his chest in pride as he replied, "Isn't that obvious? I got it from one of those medium-sized tribes." Following that, he pointed at the totem and continued, "Both you and I know how good an item that can generate Yang Energy is. That's why I chose this totem as my treasure."
Rean was happy that Kentucky found such a thing, saying, "That's great! Do you know how they crafted it? I would love to make a few more."
Kentucky was taken aback for a moment before he looked away, trying to avoid Rean's gaze as he let out an awkward chuckle. "Well...I killed the Zasfins who fought me for the totem, so I don't know."
"Sigh..." Rean couldn't help but feel disappointed, letting out a sigh not long after. "Show me where their tribe was located later. I want to take a look. Maybe they left some blueprints behind."
Roan then moved forward and took out a Soul Stone. "I didn't expect to find one of these things in the Tribes' Zone, especially in a medium-sized tribe. We all know that these stones are also made with the kids' souls."
Roan then shook his head as he continued, "However, the rule was to find the most valuable treasure. Even if we wouldn't use this thing, it doesn't change that it's far rarer than Heaven-level equipment. That's why I selected it."
Rean nodded after hearing Roan's explanation. The Soul Stones were made already, so there was no point in thinking about what they were before. "I understand."
Kentucky also didn't like it, saying with a gloomy expression, "I know we can sell it for quite a fortune. However, I truly don't want to see it being used to increase some Zasfin's Soul Power."
Soon, he asked, "Can we destroy it later?"
Rean and Roan looked at each other and nodded in agreement. They also didn't like the idea very much, not to mention that they weren't in need of anything at the moment. "Alright, we'll do that."
Roan then looked at the totem Kentucky got. "Nonetheless, I have to admit that this totem is a lot more valuable...at least it is for us."
Kentucky was obviously delighted that Roan said so, prompting him to say, "Right? Right?!"
After that, he looked at Rean and asked, "How about you? Can you bring something better than my totem out?
