683 The next tier (1/2)

In the desert, there were several areas where large rocks would be sticking out of the sand; although most of them were small. Eventually, they managed to find one big enough that allowed them all to fit under, taking cover in the shade.

It wasn't hot like a regular desert back on earth, or on other planets. The planet itself was quite cool, but it was still a nice spot for them to gather their thoughts. While doing so, it felt like Quinn had the eyes of the Parasites on him, but it wasn't only them, as those in his group were staring at him as well.

'Quinn, I thought we were progressing fast,' Nate thought. 'I knew you were strong, and you surpassed me a while ago, but just how have you grown so much in a short amount of time? Will me and the others get left behind.” Nate was clenching his fist, for some people, this would get them down.

However, for Nate, seeing someone strong and improving so much, just made him want to reach that place quick and just as fast.

Nate wasn't the only one who felt this way, the others did too, including Fex. The questions on their mind were, how much stronger could Quinn get? It was only a short while ago where he needed help from others to defeat an emperor tier beats, and now he was able to beat one on his own.

”Let me know when you guys have recovered,” Quinn said. 'And we can head off and look for the next one.”

”The next one!” Hana shouted. ”What do you mean? Are we not going back? You already got two emperor tier crystals, and one of our people died.”

Although these people were strong, she felt like they were fools. Even between different tiers of beasts, there were different strengths as well. Maybe the emperor tier they had fought with was weak compared to others. If they continued, she was sure more of them would die.

”Mantis said this was a joint hunt, we agreed to bring you along, and we have shown you this place,” Quinn replied. ”Look, I don't think it's the best idea you guys come with us either. Otherwise, some of you might die, and I don't want you to die for no reason.”

”We will end our hunt when the sun goes down,” Linda said. ”If you want, Sil or Dennis can take you back to the van, and you can wait for us to return.”

”Fine,” Hanna yelled. ”But if you don't return after two hours when the sun has gone down, then I will assume you all have died and return without you.”

”Do you want to go back with them first?” Hanna asked.

Wevil was silent for a second before he eventually replied.

”I'm not going back; I'm going to stay with them.”

”What, come on Wevil, have you gone mad?” Hana asked. ”You will be killed, and you're not part of the Cursed faction; they won't protect you when it really matters.”

Wevil placed his hand on his stomach once more, as if he was in slight pain, and then looked at Quinn talking to those in his group.

”I can't let this opportunity slip by me, don't you think he's special, Hana? Do you know anyone who could have done what he had done, and shown the skills he did at the game? When I look at him, I think they're going somewhere. They follow him because they feel it too. When I look at Mantis.” Once again, Wevil placed his hand on his stomach.

”Fine,” Hana huffed. ”You two, go ahead. We'll meet you at the van later tonight.” She said to the others before turning back at Wevil. ”If you're staying, then I'm staying as well. I don't see what you see, but I can't have these guys burying your body.”

”Thank's Hana,” Wevil said.

Sil, was off sending the other two back to the van, and before they left, Wevil made sure to tell them to contact the base and inform Mantis to not do anything to the Cursed family for now. Otherwise, they would be in for a whole pain of trouble.

While Sil was away, Quinn decided to go over to Dennis and try a few things. He got Dennis to sit down, and close his eyes and relax, Quinn would then place his hand on his back and focus on his Qi.

As he did this, he tried to get Dennis to focus as well. Although meditating and learning Qi control couldn't help one get their MC points back, it did help with recovering their stamina a lot faster.
