Chapter 207

Now, all that he had left were ten spirit stones which were currently stored in his High-Level Spatial Ring .

He didn't use the spirit stones but kept it in case of any emergencies .

Although he could use his remaining 4,000 Cloud Spring Points to purchase 40 spirit stones, he didn't do so because he needed 7,500 Cloud Spring Points to obtain the Vice-Captain status .

Plus, 35,000 Cloud Spring points to secure the Captain status .

He needed to secure the Captain position before the allotted period of the challenge ends, otherwise, he would not be able to win the challenge, nor would he be able to get that Peak-Level Sky Grade Scythe on his hands .

So he decided to keep his points wisely and spend it after completing the remaining two missions .

Suddenly, he was reminded of the cores of the Five-Clawed rats he obtained .

Would he be able to sell it and gain Cloud Spring Points? The mission he completed only mentioned that he only had to kill those rats and submit the corpses .

As he thought so, he went out of the branch building and visited a famous merchant building .

In the merchant building, he managed to see the manager and sold out the cores in a huge transaction, gaining a large amount of wealth .

Leaving the building with a wide grin, he returned to the branch building and approached the Contribution Hall .

There, he contributed all the funds he received from the transaction .

700 million!

He donated 700 million purple coins and managed to receive 7,000 CS points!

This made his points tally to the total amount of 11,000 CS points .

That said, one would only be able to donate up to 1 billion purple coins to receive 10,000 Cloud Spring Points .

After that, one would have to donate spirit stones in order to gain more Cloud Spring Points . Otherwise, using only purple coins to donate without limits, the Cloud Spring Mercenaries Treasury would have been emptied out in no time!

Obviously, the contribution hall was for the rich to gain an upstart in the Cloud Spring Mercenaries, and also for the Cloud Spring Mercenaries to maintain equity throughout the territory .

After that, he thought of upgrading his status to Vice-Captain but decided against it since he will not be able to do the other two missions once his status was updated .

Feeling satisfied and spent, he returned to his room and fell asleep .

. . .

Two days later .

"We have reached the Farz Mountains, yet there is no sign of bandits . . . This is strange . . . " Lucas muttered while gazing around seriously .

"Davis! You are not allowed to use your Soul Sense to investigate! We will find them and have them exterminated!" Lucia whined a little and pouted .

Davis nodded his head and guessed that she was feeling quite useless, but for safety purposes, he secretly swept the mountains with his Soul Sense .

Humans were three-dimensional creatures but they were only able to perceive the world in two dimensions .

But Soul Sense was quite different, it allowed one to perceive the world in a three-dimensional view .

Imagine that one could view all 360° angles at the same time, that was how he perceived the world while using Soul Sense .

In his view, he could see the bandits holed up deep inside the mountains, with few sentries placed outside in order to alert themselves to danger .

Davis saw the sentries running about to and fro, and could guess that they were discovered .

Looking at Lucia's fuming expression, he thought, 'Uh, the bandit leader is only a Low-Level Body Transformation Stage Cultivator . . . Guess I could at least let her find clues to her heart's content . . . '

"There!" Lucia shouted and pointed at a direction .

"I could feel the wind changing directions slightly there!"

Davis looked astonished at her sensitivity to the wind but was satisfied although she found them a bit late .

And as one would expect, in the next few moments, they were immediately surrounded by bandits .

The clothes they wore were civil and ethical, not barbaric . Some also wore armor and looked neat, yet their mouths weren't clean at all .

"What is this? Three kids? Do three kids dare to visit our Farz Mountains? There's a girl too!"

"Do they want to join us? We can have fun with her!"

"Idiot! Look at their uniforms! They're clearly from that legendary mercenary group!"

After the bandit mentioned about the mercenary group, the bandits' mind jolted as they quickly remembered about it .

They quickly took an aggressive stance and pointed their weapons at them .

Lucia looked at them, her pale hands had a few traces of sweat forming as she clenched her fists .

"Don't let your guard down, these bandits have done a lot of crimes such as pillaging, arson, and rape . They do this for fun, so don't hold back!" Lucas stated with fierce eyes, his expression looked like what one would see when gazing at a scum .

Lucia's eyes flashed as she nodded .

Davis wanted to take out his scythe and massacre them but decided not to since he would kill them all before these two could have their chance at it .

The two of them had their backs against each other while Davis just stood there, casually radiating a hint of danger .

As they were glaring at each other in the silence, a branch suddenly cracked, signaling the end of the silence .

*Whiz!*

Three heads plopped down as soon as the branch broke, causing the ones near then to shout out in fear .

Lucia's timing was so impeccable that she released a sharp wind blade at their necks .

Lucas formed a water barrier almost instantaneously when the wave of attacks quickly submerged in the water before disappearing .

The next second, all of them jumped in the air and flew, extending the battlefield to the air .

Lucia sent another wind blade at them, managing to behead two more weaklings while Lucas concentrated on defense and restraining the bandits .

Water conjured up behind the bandits before engulfing their limbs, managing to cause corrosive damage as it dissolved, their veins erupting into a bloody mess .

Soon, they cleared out five more bandits and as they swept their senses, they noticed that only four more were left .
