"If you want to go, then go by yourselves, but don’t drag into it." He directly warned them.
He feared if he really voiced his opinion, Lin Changhong and the others would just retort, "Don’t you have legs? Walk on your own."
By then, would he go or not?
"Captain, I think this place is really unsafe. Even Captain Lin ran away when he saw that upgraded demon, let alone us. I think if we leave now, there’s still ti. If we don’t, and that demon finds us, we’ll be trapped." Several people tried to persuade their captain again.
"If worst cos to worst, we should leave on our own and not worry about them." One of them thought for a mont and suggested.
That person was the disguised Lu Tianfeng. Naturally, he hoped the entire team would leave first so he could replace them with his own people.
"This place is still very dangerous, demons could co at any mont. Captain, why don’t we talk to them and leave first?" he proposed.
"No way!"
Captain Liu imdiately vetoed Lu Tianfeng’s suggestion.
"This issue is not to be brought up again, at least not until we reach the gathering point. We... no, the four teams need to stick together!"
Originally, there were only three teams, but now they’ve rescued another team. Though there were only five mbers left, it was still a team.
His reluctance to separate from Lin Caisang and the others stemd from his own consideration.
There is an advantage to having more people; at least when danger arises, there are stronger people to shield them, and benefits can be distributed among many.
Why wouldn’t he want that?
"But at this pace, when will we reach the gathering point, Captain? All the good missions will be taken by others." Lu Tianfeng’s subordinate said urgently to Captain Liu.
He thought, Captain Liu cared most about which task to take, and provoking him with this definitely wouldn’t be wrong.
But he seed to be mistaken; Captain Liu cared about the task selection, but he now cared more about the gains from staying with Lin Caisang and the others.
Just from splitting the demon’s scales and bones once, he had already tasted gain.
And he knew if it weren’t for Lin Caisang’s team, their own team alone wouldn’t have a chance against such a formidable demon, nor obtain those scales and bones.
So, even if following Lin Caisang’s team might be a bit of a delay, he was willing.
"The mission ant for us will always be ours; the ones not ant for us won’t be ours no matter how fast we go," Captain Liu said calmly to Lu Tianfeng’s subordinate.
Compared to the little profit from the task, he felt the benefits from staying with Lin Caisang were greater.
"Don’t think waiting for Captain Lin is wrong. Recall how you felt when you got those scales and demon bones.
In the past, could you obtain such good alchemy materials?
Or on your own, could you defeat such a high-level demon and get those scales and bones?"
He questioned them.
"Well..."
The few people heard his words and dared not to say anything further.
