Seeing the target finally appear, Bai Sha swung her tail fin and used the Wave Riding technique to swiftly dart through the seawater, rapidly closing in on the Golden Light Sea Lion.
“Who?!”
Seeing a figure suddenly dart out from his house, the Golden Light Sea Lion was startled, asking reflexively.
But what met him was a crescent-shaped tail fin.
Stone-Splitting Strike!
Bai Sha directly smashed her tail fin onto the Golden Light Sea Lion, shattering his body on the spot.
In a single encounter, the Golden Light Sea Lion had been buried here.
After dealing with the Golden Light Sea Lion, Bai Sha didn’t spare another glance at his corpse and turned to leave.
…
Seven-Colored Shell.
Bai Sha arrived here once again.
Upon arriving, she directly summoned the Dream Ruins Panel and entered the bounty section of the commission interface.
After looking around the bounty section, Bai Sha’s eyes lit up.
“Found it.”
She directly accepted a bounty.
The target of the bounty was a demon cultivator named Meng Cao.
Within the Demon Alliance, all demon cultivators were divided into serving and non-serving cultivators.
Non-serving cultivators joined the Demon Alliance and could use the Dream Ruins for various things, but that was it. They gained no rights and had no responsibilities.
Serving demon cultivators were different; they were a more core part of the Demon Alliance. They needed to pass an assessment to join and be assigned positions, and they enjoyed various rights, such as the Demon Alliance investigating their deaths, which meant ordinary demon cultivators dared not offend serving members of the alliance.
Meng Cao was such a serving cultivator!
He had a Late Qi Condensation cultivation level and was responsible for looking after some spiritual materials. His position wasn’t high, but it was comfortable. However, who could be satisfied with the status quo?
Meng Cao naturally began to get greedy, using his authority to steal quite a few spiritual materials. Ultimately, such deeds were bound to be exposed one day.
Meng Cao was also a cautious enough demon cultivator. Sensing that his deeds were about to be revealed, he took immediate action and fled in advance, disappearing into the Eastern Sea. That was why he was recorded on the bounty section of the Dream Ruins.
Normally, this bounty wouldn’t attract much attention from demon cultivators because the reward offered wasn’t generous.
However, in her previous life, Bai Sha had learned more information. She knew that Meng Cao was secretly cultivating a large batch of spiritual materials, with a total value exceeding ten thousand contribution points!
Unfortunately, in her previous life, the demon cultivator who went to capture Meng Cao was discovered by him in advance, causing Meng Cao to directly destroy that batch of spiritual materials.
This was undoubtedly a painful thing for that demon cultivator, who then complained profusely in the chat section. His words were full of regret, saying that if he hadn’t been so ostentatious, he could have secured those spiritual materials, and he would have been rich.
For that demon cultivator, there was no medicine for regret.
But for Bai Sha, the situation was different.
In her previous life, she had deliberately remembered this information after seeing it in the chat section, just to seize these benefits in this life.
After accepting the bounty, Bai Sha immediately left the Seven-Colored Shell. She knew where Meng Cao was.
…
Meng Cao was a plant that had become a demon cultivator. His true form was a plant called Life-Giving Grass, naturally possessing abundant vitality and having a great talent for cultivating spiritual materials and pill refining.
At this moment, in a hidden corner of the seabed, Meng Cao stood motionless in the seawater.
He looked as thin as a blade of grass, entirely verdant, with some vein-like patterns on him.
He was in his self-created cave abode, and before him lay an undersea paddy field planted with quite a few spiritual materials of astonishing value.
“How should I sell them?”
Meng Cao was somewhat distressed.
For ordinary demon cultivators, if they had unwanted items, they could simply sell them to the Dream Ruins. But as someone wanted by the Dream Ruins, he obviously couldn’t go to the Seven-Colored Shell, or he would be detected and captured immediately.
Under these circumstances, how could he sell this batch of valuable spiritual materials?
One plan after another surfaced in Meng Cao’s mind.
Just as Meng Cao was indecisive, a sudden, rapid current of water emerged behind him.
Before Meng Cao could react, he felt a heavy blow land on his body. He was smashed into the seabed on the spot, the impact shattering the ground. Green juice, like blood, splattered from his body.
Bai Sha’s figure appeared in Meng Cao’s original position.
She looked down. Under her fierce attack, Meng Cao had died instantly.
Against a sneak attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Meng Cao, a mere Late Qi Condensation cultivator, naturally had no power to resist.
Taking her gaze back, Bai Sha looked at the many spiritual materials before her, her eyes brightening slightly.
She could identify some of the spiritual materials, but not others. However, regardless of what they were, they were all hers now.
Bai Sha immediately stepped forward, plucking the spiritual materials one by one and putting them into the Moon Spirit Pearl. After confirming nothing was missed, she turned around, took Meng Cao’s corpse, and headed back to the Seven-Colored Shell.
…
An hour later, Bai Sha returned to the Seven-Colored Shell.
Her arrival drew the attention of some demon cultivators there, as she hadn’t come alone but was carrying another cultivator’s corpse.
However, such a situation wasn’t rare. Cultivators completing bounties often returned with the corpse like this, needing it as proof they had completed the task. So everyone just glanced over before looking away.
Bai Sha landed inside the Seven-Colored Shell, summoned the Dream Ruins Panel, opened the bounty section in the commission interface, and selected to submit the task.
In the next instant, a teleportation power materialized around her, making Meng Cao’s corpse disappear.
At the same time, the corresponding contribution reward for this bounty arrived. It wasn’t much, only three hundred points, which was why few demon cultivators were previously willing to accept this bounty.
Afterwards, Bai Sha went into one of the Rest Shells and closed it. Inside, she took out all the spiritual materials she had obtained and sold them one by one to the Dream Ruins.
When all the spiritual materials were sold, Bai Sha’s contribution points had reached twelve thousand five hundred.
The value of these spiritual materials was actually twelve thousand two hundred!
Bai Sha was fairly satisfied with this result. Then, she opened the bounty section again and began accepting other bounty tasks.
In her last life, the bounty information she had learned wasn’t limited to Meng Cao’s case. Meng Cao’s was just the one with the most lucrative rewards. Bai Sha had memorized information about other bounty tasks as well.
The most troublesome aspect of bounties was undoubtedly the target’s location. If the target’s location could be determined, there would be no need for a bounty. The Demon Alliance could simply send the Law Enforcement Squad to capture the target directly.
Finding the target was the biggest problem.
And this biggest problem was practically non-existent for Bai Sha, who had foreknowledge.
She had learned the locations of many bounty targets in her previous life and could go directly to capture them and bring them back.
