”Domain! I not because of your Domain, you'd just be a nobody, Mu Ningxue!” Hannah screamed hysterically.

Hannah had inflicted quite some damage on Mu Ningxue with her Lightning, yet it was still not enough to secure them the victory...

The group of them had failed to take out a single Maga. Hannah felt like she was going to breakdown mentally from the overwhelming shame.

The power of a Domain was unmatched. Having a Domain or not turned out to be the deciding factor in a battle between Advanced Mages. Hannah was extremely regretful that she did not try her best to get her own Domain.

If she actually had one, they would not have ended up in the current situation!

”I won't lose!” Hannah nursed a great grievance. She waved her lightning whip and pursued Mu Ningxue.

Ayleen immediately drew in the air rapidly with her finger upon seeing this!

A Water Curtain appeared, separating Hannah and Mu Ningxue.

Ayleen drew another spell again. The Water Curtain turned into a sphere enveloping Hannah. As the woman was using her lightning recklessly, the water immediately conducted the lightning right back to her.

Hannah had lost her calm. She simply assumed that the lightning would not do any harm to her, yet her hair totally stood up from the shock, and black smoke rose from her scorched body. She looked utterly miserable.

Mu Ningxue ignored the madwoman. She had a relieved smile when she saw Mo Fan coming toward her.

”We are all injured; should we leave, or continue?” Mu Ningxue asked.

They did not have a Healer with them, and they could not tell how long they would need to treat their injuries. If they stumbled into some other team in their current state, the team would surely rob them of their loot. If they decided to leave the place, they could still hold on to the loot they had acquired so far.

”Have we really gotten enough resources?” Mo Fan asked.

”There are surely places that aren't explored yet in this space. If we leave now, the rest of the teams are going to earn more than us,” Ayleen said.

Ayleen was not too satisfied with the outcome. They had wasted too much of their energy in this battle, just to get a Soul-grade Seed. The loot was not really that impressive compared to the gold scattered across the place waiting to be discovered.

”Mu Ningxue and I aren't going back like this. Ayleen, if you want to leave, we'll split the loot with you,” Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan was covered by wounds and bruises, the claw marks left by the undead, the burns from being attacked by spells of different Elements, and his face was covered in filth and smeared with blood...

He had won against six people, but his injuries were the price he paid. None of them would cost him his life, but they were certainly a burden. Some of the wounds had poison that would slowly spread and penetrate into his body. If he could not receive treatment in time, it would endanger his life. The medicine he brought along was only enough for some basic treatment...

”If we're thinking of staying, we'll need to find a Healer. Who's the Healer on your team?” Ayleen was not willing to give up and let the others claim the remaining loot.

”Oh, she's with the group that was scared away by Jack earlier,” Mo Fan answered calmly.

Ayleen could only smile wryly.

”How about yours?” Mu Ningxue asked.

”That guy isn't trustworthy, either. How about this? We'll see if there's any Healer who's alone with the Observer Eagles, and we'll trade some loot with the Healer and ask the person to heal us...” Ayleen said.

”Mmm, that might work,” Mo Fan nodded.

”What are we going to do after that?”

”We can no longer rob the others, as they are surely going to be on the alert by now...” Mo Fan said.

”There should be more loot hidden in remote places. Only students with a strong sense of smell and great experience when it comes to searching for treasure in the wild can find that loot,” Ayleen said.

”Our team doesn't have a Finder like that.”

Finder was a common role in a group of Hunters. A group of Hunters roaming in the wild normally consisted of an experienced leader commanding the members in emergency situations; strong Fighters to battle against the demon creatures; a person that was good at healing teammates with medicine supply or a Healer; and a Finder with an impressive sense of smell, instinct, and experience, who was usually in charge of searching for the treasure that the others missed. It could be a spring, an ore vein, crystals, Elemental Seeds, herbs, or rare loot...

A capable Finder was the key factor to deciding the profit of a group of Hunters that set out on an expedition. As such, most groups would rather have a reliable Finder than strong Mages.

Since the Hunter Union was in charge of the treasure hunt, the places they hid the loot would surely be testing the skills of the students...

Mo Fan was a pure Fighter. He had acquired the title of Hunter Master through fighting alone, since his companion Lingling was an outstanding Finder and Commander.

Mo Fan believed if Lingling was here, they could easily find lots of treasure in a matter of seconds. Lingling's unmatched intelligence could make bold speculations from even the smallest clues, and her speculations had always been on point.

The three left quickly, not daring to stay at the lower reaches of the river any longer, since they had no idea if there was someone else hiding in the dark still.
