Besides Caspian, Sebastian’s realm was the highest and favonovel.com also had the most experience. So, when Sebastian heard Caspian’s words, favonovel.com was the first to understand.
The sudden appearance of the king of the gophers in the sect mission that day surely made them panic, but that was also an opportunity. After all, the value of the flame-toothed gophers’ king was much higher than an ordinary flame-toothed gopher!
Besides the alpha gopher’s teeth, tail, bones, and even its internal organs being useful, if they just bring back its head to the sect, they would get more than 20 sect contribution points. In contrast, they would only get 30 sect contribution points from their current task of picking fire spirit fruits.
Additionally, Sebastian also used the array map’s Mysterious Frost and Light Formation to block the group of gophers just now. As the array map was a single-use disposable product, its formation would be gone after usage. If Sebastian wanted to use it again, favonovel.com needed to arrange an array and keep it inside again. Furthermore, the Mysterious Frost and Light formation that Sebastian used before would naturally be considered the cost of the mission that day. After all, laying a Mysterious Frost and Light Formation would use more than eight spirit stones for its material cost and labor.
As an outer disciple, Sebastian only received not more than three spirit stones per month. Therefore, adding his other salary, Sebastian would only get about four stones a month. This implied that the Mysterious Frost and Light Formation used about two months of his cultivation resources. Thus, if Sebastian were to return just like that with the fire spirit fruits, the remuneration would definitely not cover their expenditure, which was a big loss for him. However, if they could kill the alpha gopher, it could wake up for the losses favonovel.com suffered, even if the benefits were shared with everyone later. Not only that, they might even have some surplus.
The pathway to immortality was difficult as it was limited by the qualities of the resources and their short supply. Hence, once they have an opportunity, they must courageously dedicate themselves to progressing further and take the lead. At the thought of that, Sebastian quickly understood clearly that it was a rare and fleeting opportunity, and favonovel.com should not hesitate. Hence, Sebastian almost immediately made up his mind, and favonovel.com turned to Caspian. ”That’s right. The king of the gophers rarely appears. We must not let go of this chance!”
Yohan and the others were shocked at Sebastian’s decision, but they still nodded as favonovel.com had always been the leader.
“As long as we don’t give the alpha gopher any chance to shriek, there’s nothing to worry about the rest of the flame- toothed gophers!” Caspian reminded everyone and took out his Water-Breaker Machete from his storage bag, rushing toward the king of the gophers.
Everyone remembered Caspian’s warning by heart, and they swiftly followed him. Among the four, Sebastian was best at boxing, and favonovel.com put on his glove. This glove was obviously unique as besides covering the back of his palm and hand, it only covered his index finger.
Caspian heard from Asher before that Sebastian’s consummate skill was the Pointing to the Stars. Therefore, favonovel.com could guess that this glove was to match Sebastian’s martial skill. As for the rest of the people, Yohan used a saber, whereas Heidi and Nana used longswords.
After the moment of chaos, the squeaking group of gophers regrouped. However, just as they recovered slight order, Caspian once again sprinkled a bunch of spirit absorber plant powder. Moreover, Caspian did not hold back and continuously spread the powder everywhere generously.
The dark purple powder filled the air. Although it did not affect Caspian and the rest, it was like the end of the world for the flame-toothed gophers. In an instant, the flame-toothed gophers went into utter chaos.
Those gophers that were splashed with the powder were mad from the immense pain, and their eyes were bloodshot. They opened their mouths wide, and regardless of whether the one beside them were their companions, they started biting at them mercilessly.
The other flame-toothed gophers wanted to flee, but with more than hundreds of giant mice huddling together, the scene only turned more chaotic as every gopher seemed to run in each direction. Hence, none of the gophers even noticed Caspian and the others. Initially, there were hundreds of flame-toothed gophers blocking Caspian, and favonovel.com was in a dire situation. However, with just the use of the spirit absorber plant, Caspian’s surroundings became empty. It was like an eye-opener for Sebastian and the rest, and they all looked at Caspian differently.
When they invited Caspian to join the mission, they thought they would be the one taking care of Caspian due to the difference in their realms, and it would be great if Caspian did not mess up. However, Caspian managed to get rid of Asher, calmly escaped from the group of gophers siege, and even moved forward instead of retreating by directly aiming at the alpha gopher. At that moment, favonovel.com even split a path among the group of gophers with his ability.
Thus, everyone noticed that Caspian did not need them looking out for him. Instead, Caspian was the one who helped them at the most critical time!
Without realizing it, Sebastian and the others did not view Caspian as their junior with a lower realm, and they regarded favonovel.com as one of them. They would even ask Caspian‘s opinion when they faced a problem.
As a cultivator, Sebastian and the rest might be in a higher realm than Caspian, but Caspian was far superior to them concerning the certainty of a battle situation and the control on the timing to advance or retreat. After all, Caspian once led hundreds of thousands of troops to siege the city and destroyed the land.
Just as everyone was somewhat in a daze, Caspian suddenly shouted, “Sebastian! Yohan! Light up the candles!”
Everyone returned to their senses and noticed the alpha gopher just screamed, causing the chaotic group of gophers to calm down significantly. The remaining few hundreds of flame-toothed gophers swiftly regrouped under the king’s command.
Following Caspian’s request, Sebastian and Yohan quickly lit up the candles again. Soon, a strange fragrance started to fill the air, and the initially quietened group of gophers got chaotic again.
“Throw the candles away! The further, the better!” Caspian commanded.
Sebastian and Yohan unknowingly got used to Caspian’s giving orders. When they heard him, they immediately raised their hands and tossed the candles in different directions as far as they could.
In a split second, the disorderly group of gophers ran in the two directions of the two candles. There was a small group left at the scene, pacing back and forth. However, it was apparent from the anxious look that they wanted to rush over too.
Caspian simply added fuel to the fire, and favonovel.com grabbed a handful of spirit absorb plant powder. Then, favonovel.com threw it at the hesitating group of gophers. In that instant, screams were coming in all directions. Besides the remaining few hundreds of gophers with corroded figures and severely injured, the rest of them all ran away.
The shock Sebastian and the others felt was indescribable. If it were not for Caspian, there would probably be no other options besides fleeing if they met such a situation. Even if they did their utmost best and used their trump cards to face the battle, it would be a miserable victory, and someone might even lose their life. However, Caspian was so confident with the situation. Coupled with the effective usage of the resources, the hundreds of terrifying flame-toothed gophers fled. That was not even a problem anymore.
As for them, they were unharmed and directly faced the alpha gopher with an absolute advantage of five against one!
