Chapter 542: Chapter 354: Composed and at Ease, Overwhelming the Entire Field

"It’s a miracle we all survived such a disaster."

"When we get back, we all need to train hard for a while and increase our strength," said the leader of the Treasure Hunting Squad.

"Mhm." The members of the Treasure Hunting Squad, who had nearly died at the hands of the Fish-headed Monster, nodded in solemn agreement.

Previously, they had all been reluctant to spend money on Spirit Stones for their training. But after this, they resolved to break into their personal savings when they got back and use some of it to buy Spirit Stones.

Even now, the scene they had witnessed a short while ago would flash through the minds of the Treasure Hunting Squad members.

Lin Li, standing perfectly still, had single-handedly scared off the giant Fish-headed Monster and all its minions.

That majestic scene was etched into their minds, a memory they would never forget.

From now on, the members of the Treasure Hunting Squad would make this their goal.

They would train diligently, hoping that one day they too could reach the level of their savior.

"Let’s head back!" The Treasure Hunting Squad’s leader glanced back at the nearby Bibo Lake before turning to his weary and injured companions.

’Considering their current physical state, it was definitely too dangerous to continue this treasure hunt at Bibo Lake.’

The group of injured Treasure Hunting Squad members then helped each other up and left the scene, quickly making their way to where they had hidden their mounts.

...

WHOOSH...

RUSTLE RUSTLE RUSTLE...

The wind blowing in from Bibo Lake suddenly intensified. The lush flowers, grass, and trees along the shore swayed violently in the gale, making a loud rustling sound.

Lin Li watched the camp pot hanging over the fire get tossed about by the sudden gust, and he muttered, "Wow, that’s some wind!"

Earlier, after saving the members of the Treasure Hunting Team, Lin Li had resumed his own hunt, searching the shores of Bibo Lake for the burrow of a White-Scaled Drilling Rat.

As noon approached, a large cloud drifted in and covered the sun.

Feeling a bit hungry, Lin Li paused his search. He found a good spot to camp on the shore of Bibo Lake and started preparing his lunch.

The canopy of a large, leafy tree spread out like a giant umbrella, casting a wide shadow.

Beneath the tree, Lin Li took out his camping gear from the Mysterious Small Island. He then gathered some dry wood from the area and used a Fireball to light two campfires.

One campfire was for grilling the Yellow Ox Exotic Beast Meat, and the other was for boiling a seafood soup.

’If it weren’t for the lingering side effects from eating that Magical Little Fruit, one campfire for lunch would have been plenty.’

GRUMBLE...

As the aroma wafted through the air, Lin Li’s stomach grumbled, and he felt even hungrier.

He glanced at the meat roasting on the grill. It looked just about done. He picked up a shaker of cumin powder and started sprinkling it over the massive, fragrant skewers of Yellow Ox Exotic Beast Meat.

By the time he finished seasoning all twenty-odd skewers, the large pot of seafood soup on the other campfire was also ready.

Lin Li plated all the seasoned skewers and set them on his folding camp table.

Next, he took a large bowl, walked over to the hanging pot, lifted the lid, and ladled himself a generous helping of seafood soup.

The seafood soup was loaded with ingredients: large shrimp, mussels, squid, and even plump swimming crabs.

Lin Li sprinkled some chopped green onions into his bowl, then took a spoonful of the soup. The savory-sweet flavor was deeply satisfying.

He picked up a skewer from the plate and pulled off a large chunk of meat. Just as he was about to mentally grade his grilling skills, a noise suddenly came from the distance.
