Wolf's Heart, Dog's Lungs

It was clear that this hunting team was a group of veterans, exuding experience in every aspect, whether it was healing or dissecting demonic beasts.

Moreover, they weren't overly saddened by the deaths of their companions, calmly storing the corpses into dedicated Storage Cards.

Perhaps they hadn't known each other for long.

Or perhaps they were used to life and death.

Under the sharp blades, the bones of the Jade Bone Beast were extracted one by one. If one didn't look at the attached flesh and blood, the bones themselves looked like jade carvings, extremely beautiful.

Fan Lang was attracted by the dissector's technique, staring at it for a while.

Qiu Shuiqing, the younger of the Qiu sisters, noticed this and mistakenly thought Fan Lang was coveting the precious jade bones. The corner of her lips slightly raised, and she sneered in a strange tone.

Qiu Shuiqing walked near the stripped jade bones, bent down to pick up a piece that wasn't too big or too small, walked to Fan Lang's side, and casually threw it on the ground, as if she was using a bone to get rid of a stray dog.

"I can see it now, you guys didn't really want to help, you just wanted a share of the spoils. In the battle just now, we relied mainly on our Silver Moon Merchant Guild. You two didn't contribute much at all. Consider this piece of jade bone your reward, take it and leave. Don't think it's too little, it's already more than enough." Qiu Shuiqing's tone was cold, without a trace of gratitude, even with a hint of contempt.

Fan Lang was stunned at first, then he realized what was happening, and couldn't help but be furious!

He had kindly offered to help, but was actually regarded as a greedy villain. It was one thing to not appreciate it, but to say such hurtful words!

He was indeed very greedy, but this time he had acted purely to save people, and had never thought of dividing up the jade bones. Moreover, with his vision, he didn't care about the jade bones at all.

Qiu Shuiqing's words were really disgusting, making Fan Lang's mood plummet, and his face instantly turned cold.

"You're really judging a gentleman's heart with a petty mind. In your eyes, these jade bones are all treasures, but in my eyes, they are no different from stones on the roadside," Fan Lang said coldly.

"Hehe, if you really look down on these jade bones, then don't take any of them, that's the only way to prove what you said," Qiu Shuiqing used reverse psychology, wishing Fan Lang would return empty-handed, so she could save money.

"Only dogs pick up bones that have fallen on the ground, you underestimate me too much. There's a saying that dog eyes see people lowly, I advise you not to look down on people like this in the future."

"How dare you! How dare you call me a dog, I am a backbone member of the Silver Moon Merchant Guild, don't think that helping us a little bit gives you free rein, you better watch your mouth!"

Qiu Shuiqing's eyebrows stood on end, and she reprimanded loudly, the atmosphere between the two sides becoming increasingly tense.

Originally, Fan Lang had kindly offered to help, but things had developed to this point.

The members of the Silver Moon Merchant Guild all stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to Fan Lang and Li Yunyan, their eyes full of vigilance, obviously afraid that Fan Lang would hurt someone.

It seemed that not only was Qiu Shuiqing heartless, but this group of people was no better.

Clang, clang.

Two sounds of metal friction rang out, cutting through the silence of the night, the sound coming from the twin blades in Li Yunyan's hands.

The gazes that were cast over revealed hostility, and Li Yunyan, who had experienced many battles, almost instinctively drew her blades, ready for battle.

Fan Lang laughed in anger, his laughter carrying a hint of madness: "I'm really a ******* idiot, I actually helped you guys, if I helped a dog, the dog would wag its tail, but if I helped you, you would bite me back. Ridiculous, really ridiculous. Next, are you planning to rush up and fight us to the death? Go ahead, don't be polite, my hands are already itching!"

Fan Lang stood up abruptly, holding the Flame Blaze Sword in his hand. As long as the people from the Silver Moon Merchant Guild dared to attack, he would start a massacre and kill all these heartless people!

The two sides became more and more tense, at the critical moment, the elder of the Qiu sisters hurriedly stood up to smooth things over. She was more tactful than her younger sister, at least she understood human relationships.

"Younger sister, shut up and say less! People offered to help out of sincerity, how can you maliciously speculate on their intentions?" Qiu Shuihan said sternly.

Qiu Shuiqing snorted coldly, turned her body away, did not argue with her sister, but did not have a trace of regret.

Qiu Shuihan walked up to Fan Lang and said apologetically: "Maybe it's because a few companions died, my sister's mood is a bit bad, she offended you two just now, I apologize to you here, don't take it to heart."

"A slap and then a sweet date? Hehe, it's too late to say anything now." Fan Lang's mood didn't improve; he wasn't a child who could be led by the nose.

"Don't be angry, you two. I apologize on behalf of the Silver Moon Merchant Guild. If there are any conditions that can appease you, please tell us."

"People with different paths cannot make plans together. I don't want to waste my breath with you, nor do I care for your garbage. Let's go our separate ways."

Fan Lang put down the Flame Blaze Sword in his hand, gave Li Yunyan a look, and the two of them strode away, ignoring the people from the Silver Moon Merchant Guild.

After Fan Lang and Li Yunyan had walked a distance, Qiu Shuihan lectured her younger sister.

Qiu Shuiqing didn't take it seriously, and even said with a hint of joy, "It's good that they left. It's good to have two fewer people to share the benefits with us. All the remaining Jade Bones will be ours, not a single one for them."

"One shouldn't be too greedy. Sometimes, being too greedy can lead to losing big for small gains," Qiu Shuihan said with a straight face.

"Stop talking, it's endless," Qiu Shuiqing suddenly turned around, not wanting to listen to her sister's nagging anymore.

Qiu Shuihan shook her head, helpless with her insensible younger sister.

The place where they had set up the tent was still the same as before, undisturbed by demonic beasts. The bonfire on the ground was burning brightly, illuminating a patch of land.

Fan Lang returned with a belly full of anger, not saying much on the way, and almost moved to kill his way back several times.

If Qiu Shuihan hadn't said a few words of apology, Fan Lang might not have been able to suppress his anger just now.

"Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have helped those people; it would have been better to let the Jade Bone Beast kill them. A few broken bones, would I care?" Fan Lang said angrily.

"Do you want to go back and teach them a lesson?" Li Yunyan asked in a cold voice.

"Forget it. At least that Qiu Shuihan said a few human words. I'm not a great demon, killing people at the slightest disagreement," Fan Lang shook his head.

"Then let's forget about them."

"Okay, you continue to sleep, and I'll take over in a while."

Li Yunyan went into the tent, and Fan Lang continued to keep watch, as if nothing had happened.

At dawn the next day, the two embarked on their journey, searching for demonic beasts and demons. Along the way, they overcame obstacles, killed several demonic beasts, and also killed several Earth Demon Claws, earning a lot of experience points.

On the way, Fan Lang suddenly discovered a string of special footprints, stopped, and looked down to observe.

This string of footprints was very large, each about thirty centimeters wide, and the shape was also very special.

"These are the footprints of demons. I've finally found my target!" Fan Lang's eyes were burning.
