At a glance, there were piles upon piles of Red-eyed Wolf pelts, densely stacked together. Boss Mi rarely saw such a large quantity.

Boss Mi said in surprise, "Old Zhu, I'd say you ran into a wolf pack, didn't you? That was incredibly dangerous. The fact that you managed to escape their encirclement this time means you were truly lucky!"

"A few days ago, I heard that another team encountered a wolf pack. There's still been no news from them. Other teams saw it from afar, and that team's members were probably torn apart and eaten by the wolves."

Boss Mi sighed emotionally. He was not a martial artist, but a merchant, and he did not dare enter the Fierce Beast Mountain Range. Still, doing business here was quite good.

He began taking stock of everything from Old Zhu's team, sorting all the items out and stacking them in a corner. One of the assistants specialized in identifying goods and would calculate their value based on their quality.

He held a notebook in his hand and inspected the quality of every pelt before setting a price, waiting until Bearded Uncle and the others agreed.

Bearded Uncle would usually ask Chen Feng, but after being asked several times, Chen Feng simply told Bearded Uncle to decide for himself.

He had no real understanding of these things and did not know their market value, so asking him was pointless. Chen Feng also knew what kind of person Bearded Uncle was, so he was at ease.

"One, two, and this one too—all four thousand. This one is smaller, and some gaps appeared during cleaning, so two thousand eight hundred. This one is in good condition, seven thousand."

Boss Mi and his assistants kept tallying the accounts while Bearded Uncle, Zhang Yang, Tao Min, Zhu Tao, and the others watched from beginning to end.

Their faces were filled with joy.

Nearby, Old Zhang exchanged looks with several teammates, equally surprised. "That whole cart is packed with goods. Looks like Old Zhu and his team are getting rich this time!"

"Let's see how much they can sell it for!"

"Yeah."

They had nothing to do after returning from the hunt anyway.

But the longer they watched, the more astonished they became. There were not only Red-eyed Wolf materials among the goods, but many other materials as well—those from giant lizards, pythons, White-armored Pigs, and more.

Altogether, the value had already accumulated to 1.83 million.

Tsk, tsk.

Everyone sighed in amazement. The count was not even finished yet, and it had already reached such a figure. It was an extremely generous haul.

That price had even surpassed the Lion Squad's peak earnings in the past.

It was an excellent profit.

Bearded Uncle was delighted. He laughed and said, "In the past, our earnings were usually around six hundred thousand. If we were unlucky, it would be even less. This time, we've completely surpassed the Lion Squad!"

Tao Min and Zhang Yang were delighted as well. Chen Feng was an expert at the early Nurturing Essence stage. Once he joined a team, it was not difficult to understand how they could achieve such results.

A team made entirely of Blood and Qi stage fighters would never be able to obtain such a massive haul.

They knew these were only the results of a few days. Compared to the hunting time they had spent in the past, it was nothing. If they had hunted for as long as they normally did, they would have gained even more.

It was just that their truck had filled up early, so they could only return.

"Old Zhu, you guys are incredible this time. You've struck it rich!"

Old Zhang and his teammates were full of envy.

Boss Mi smiled. "I see there are still goods in your truck?"

Boss Mi glanced into a corner of the truck bed.

There was an enormous sack there.

Inside were the dismantled remains of the Mountain-Shattering Iron Bull.

Since it had been loaded in through the rear door earlier, while the goods were being sold through the side door, the Iron Bull materials lay in another corner from this angle.

Every part of the Mountain-Shattering Iron Bull was valuable, but it was too large and heavy, so they had no choice but to dismantle it and load it into the truck. Otherwise, they could have simply brought out the corpse and sold it.

"What's in there?"

Boss Mi was filled with curiosity as he looked at the huge sack.

"Judging from the size of that sack, it must be a dismantled large fierce beast!"

Old Zhang watched curiously.

"It's a Mountain-Shattering Iron Bull!"

Bearded Uncle said directly.

As soon as he spoke, Boss Mi and Old Zhang found it hard to believe. They instinctively thought they had heard wrong. A Mountain-Shattering Iron Bull?

This was an incredibly powerful creature. Blades and spears could not harm it, and it could launch Demonic Sound attacks. It was difficult to deal with and a dangerous beast that most teams avoided. Hardly anyone had ever heard of someone hunting one.

On the contrary, many teams had been completely wiped out by such fierce beasts. Those who successfully hunted one were exceedingly rare.

"Old Zhu, you're not joking, are you?

"Even an immature Mountain-Shattering Iron Bull is impervious to blades and spears, and its attacks are extremely powerful. Fierce beasts of the same level are inherently stronger than humans. A single charge from such a giant would cripple your teammates. The five of you managed to kill an Iron Bull like this? If that's true, then your team..."

Old Zhang stared at Bearded Uncle and the others, utterly incredulous.

"Take it out and let's have a look!"

Boss Mi had several assistants drag the enormous sack, but they found it difficult to move. Bearded Uncle and the others joined in as well, and only then did they manage to haul it out.

After cutting open the sack, everyone saw some of the Mountain-Shattering Iron Bull's materials inside.

Since they were professionals, they immediately recognized the two straight Bull Horns within. They were black and gleaming. Boss Mi took out the black horns and examined them carefully. They felt extremely heavy in his hands, and his expression abruptly changed.

"These are Mountain-Shattering Iron Bull Horns!!! You really killed a Mountain-Shattering Iron Bull?"

Boss Mi's pupils contracted.

"And judging from the texture, it should be at the early Nurturing Essence level. This isn't something a Blood and Qi stage Iron Bull could possess!"

Boss Mi kept examining the horn layers with a magnifying glass.

Before an expert, the details were quickly analyzed.

Old Zhang felt as though his head had exploded as he stared at the two enormous Bull Horns.

Good lord, how much would these be worth?

Old Zhang's team looked on with envious eyes.

Boss Mi inspected the other materials as well. "These hooves, the tail, Bull Treasure, the Iron Bull's Armor Plates, Bull Tendons, and so on—these are all fine goods..."

Boss Mi was extremely excited. With premium goods like these, Bearded Uncle and the others would earn much more. At the same time, as the middleman, he would earn a little more than usual as well.

So everyone was excited.

Boss Mi stood up, shook his head, and looked at Bearded Uncle with a broad smile. "I never expected your team, Old Zhu, to have reached such a level of strength. Can you tell me how you managed it? I'm very curious. Of course, it's your secret, so it's fine if you don't want to say."

Though he said that, Boss Mi continued staring at Bearded Uncle with obvious curiosity.

"We naturally don't have that kind of ability, but this little brother is very strong. He's a Martial Soul User."

Bearded Uncle smiled.

He said nothing further, but Boss Mi and Old Zhang could both sense it. The only difference between Old Zhu's team now and before was the addition of someone like Chen Feng. That was why they had gained so much this time.

Old Zhu had said he was a Martial Soul User. That made it obvious enough.

Since Chen Feng's strength had already been exposed during his battle with Guo Tao, he no longer cared much about it.

Feeling the astonished gazes sweep over him, Chen Feng knew they had understood that he was the one who killed the Iron Bull.

Boss Mi glanced at Chen Feng, nodded with a smile, and said, "This young brother looks exceptional. At such a young age, he already possesses such strength. He'll certainly become someone important in the future. Old Zhu, it's no wonder your team gained so much this time with a teammate like him."

"Now, let me calculate the value of this Mountain-Shattering Iron Bull!"

Boss Mi began appraising the two Bull Horns. He smiled and said, "These two horns have no damage at all. They're from an adult Iron Bull and grew very well. For both together, I'll offer 1.7 million! What do you think?"
