My carefree life in space

Chapter 182 Speculation about Spirit Stones

The two women didn't see what happened, but Kyle and the others saw it all clearly.

Just at the critical moment, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared, and Mo Ze, like a war god descending, held a golden sword that emitted a brilliant light and rushed towards the Fire Scale Crocodile like lightning.

He leaped high into the air, his golden sword drawing a perfect arc, bringing with it a sharp sword aura, and slashed fiercely at the Fire Scale Crocodile's most vulnerable neck, directly breaking through its incredibly hard scales and embedding itself deeply into its flesh.

The Fire Scale Crocodile let out a painful roar and struggled frantically, trying to shake off Mo Ze. However, Mo Ze's feet were firmly planted on the ground, his hands gripped the sword hilt tightly, and he suddenly exerted his strength, unleashing several more fierce sword strikes.

Each sword strike landed precisely on the Fire Scale Crocodile's vital points, causing blood to gush out like a spring, splashing onto the scorching sand and rising in bursts of bloody vapor.

Seeing this, the other Fire Scale Crocodiles abandoned Kyle and the others and pounced on Moze. Moze wielded his golden sword with impenetrable speed, and the light on the sword became increasingly dazzling, as if it possessed endless power.

Under Mo Ze's fierce attack, the leading Fire Scale Crocodile gradually stopped moving, its massive body crashing to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining Fire Scale Crocodiles turned around and tried to escape, but were blocked by Mo Ze with his sword. Several sword lights fell, and the remaining Fire Scale Crocodiles died on the spot.

Kyle and the others watched Moze's retreating figure, their hearts filled with gratitude and admiration.

They each took out energy liquid from the spatial nexus and drank it. At this moment, the three people in the air also landed their aircraft.

After the group reunited, they ignored the Fire Scale Crocodile's corpse lying on the ground and walked up to Mo Ze, looking at him intently.

"Mo Ze, you're amazing! What exactly do you cultivate? It's somewhat similar to our superpowers, but upon closer inspection, it's not quite the same." Reshia asked first, and the others also showed curious expressions.

“A family tradition of learning.” Mo Ze uttered a few words, but his gaze was fixed on Lin Shushu, the meaning of which was known only to the two of them.

He wasn't wrong, but the root of this "home" lies with Lin Shushu.

The others, unaware of the deeper meaning behind this, refrained from asking further questions upon hearing his words and instead began to deal with the corpses of the fire-scaled crocodiles.

On the other side, Barlow was still immersed in the astonishing sword strike he had just witnessed. His eyes caught sight of his subordinate who was about to rush forward, so he quickly grabbed him and asked, "Where are you going?"

The man who was pulled back was a little confused. Had their boss forgotten? Weren't they going to steal the prey? He voiced his doubts.

"Boss, their battle's over, isn't it our turn now?"

Barlow slapped him on the forehead and yelled, "What are you doing? Don't you have eyes? Do you think you can handle that guy?"

He had said that he would wait until the people of Liehuo and the Huolin Crocodile were both severely injured before he would go and pick up the scraps. But what is the situation now? They are fine, and there is someone of unknown strength in the group. If they go up now, wouldn't they just be delivering food to the enemy?

"Then... then what do we do?" another person asked in a low voice.

"What else can we do but go back!" With that, Balo strode towards the docked aircraft. After this battle, he had given up on the idea of ​​causing trouble for the Blazing Fire Mercenary Group; at least as long as Jin Yuanren was still around, he wouldn't go.

Thinking about it, he suddenly felt a little fortunate. Luckily, he hadn't completely offended that person at the Mercenary Guild, otherwise... well, he should probably avoid him in the future!

Lin Shushu and Mo Ze both sensed the commotion. Since these people were sensible, they didn't need to take action.

After Kyle and the others put away the Fire Scale Crocodile, they prepared to go back, but there were some things they needed to clarify first.

"Moze, you deserve the most credit today. After we complete the mission and receive our reward, you'll get 60% of it. How does that sound?" Kyle discussed with Moze.

In this way, the remaining 40% will be divided among them, with each person receiving less than 10%. Even Lina, who is not participating in the battle, will not be left out, since they are a group.

Mo Ze looked at the others, whose expressions were all normal, clearly indicating that they had no objection to the allocation result.

"I'll take 30%, you all put in a lot of effort today," Mo Ze suggested, weighing the day's gains.

The others were surprised by his words and their faces lit up with joy.

They had no objection to Mo Ze taking 60%, after all, without him, they might have lost their lives, let alone any harvest. Now that he only wanted 30%, they could get more, which was an unexpected bonus.

However, no one else spoke up; they all looked at Kyle, the captain.

Kyle saw Moze's sincerity and did not refuse his kindness. "In that case, we'll shamelessly accept it."

In the end, the Feng family gave them 100,000 energy stones as payment, a considerable sum, and everyone was very happy. Mo Ze also received his share.

Back at the hotel, Lin Shushu played with the spirit stone she had just acquired, lost in her own thoughts.

Mo Ze pulled her close, resting his chin on her shoulder and nuzzling her. "What are you thinking about, Shu Shu? If you like these spirit stones, I'll earn you more next time."

Lin Shushu smiled and nudged him, but he wouldn't budge, so she let him be.

She voiced the doubts she had just considered, "The people of the Olay Empire seem unaware that spirit stones are graded." They routinely use low-grade spirit stones; at least, she hadn't noticed anything unusual about Kyle and the others.

Mo Ze put away his clingy attitude and started thinking as well.

"There are two possibilities: one is that there are indeed only low-grade spirit stones here, and the other is that mid- to high-grade spirit stones are in the hands of nobles."

Lin Shushu listened and thought it made a lot of sense.

If the legends they heard today are true, then the Olay Empire is a place in a higher world used to exile sinners. Since it is a place of exile, it is not surprising that there are no high-grade spirit stones here.

As for the second possibility, there are explanations as well. High-quality spirit stones are extremely rare, even the nobility don't have enough, let alone they would fall into the hands of ordinary people. It's not surprising that commoners wouldn't know about them.

Compared to spirit stones, the two were more interested in the ruins.

Lin Shushu even had a feeling that her parents' affairs might be related to the ruins, which made her eager to find the location of the ruins. Unfortunately, she had no clue yet because they had too little information.

Somewhere in the Olay Empire, Lin Song was also searching for the location of the ruins. He had been searching for a long time, but unfortunately, he had found nothing.

Many years ago, the young master and his wife entrusted their newborn daughter to me before they went to search for the ruins. They instructed me that if they did not return by the agreed time, I should take the daughter back to the Jin Yuan Empire.

Later, two months passed since the agreed time, and they still hadn't returned. He was very anxious, so he sent the young lady back to the Jin Yuan Empire as instructed.

As for why he told the Lin family that the young master had died, it was simply to make the Lin family treat the young lady more well, since he still had to return to the Olay Empire to find the young master and his wife and could not take care of the young lady personally.

If Lin Song knew that the girl received not affection but indifference, he might regret his decision.
