Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

"We need to salvage this first," William looked over, "arrange a few who have no serious wounds to go and collect anything we can salvage from these monsters… Give everything over to Berry."

"Me?" Berry was surprised by such a sudden call.

"From now on, you are going to be responsible for storing up any loot from our battles and missions," William randomly assigned this task over, before adding, "recuperate and rest. We will wait for ten minutes here then keep moving."

"Ok!"

Everyone started to go around and do their tasks, while William kept himself busy with something else.

He killed a few leopards in this fight, and that meant he could absorb their cores.

Finding the monsters he killed wasn\'t that hard. After all, the wounds caused by his knives were all unique and hard to miss.

"A silver grade core… Good harvest indeed," it was the third silver grade core he gained from the monsters he killed. And when he finished, he found to his surprise that he killed twelve monsters, three silver and nine bronze.

"If I absorbed these… Then my stagnant spirit power will rise by fifty points at least…" he thought to himself in excitement.

"Why are you acting like you found a real treasure? If you need cores, I got tons of them!" Ibra kept doing nothing but closely watching William.

In his eyes, there was no reason to get excited about acquiring such cores for someone like William. Considering the market prices of these cores, William wasn\'t going to get a good harvest compared to the investment he placed so far in the team.

"The road to try wealth starts from accumulating little things like these," William knew that Ibra got the wrong idea from his actions, but he didn\'t want to correct such misunderstanding. So, he found this random reason to cover up on his unexplained excitement.

And he decided to keep himself under better control next time.

"Tsk!" Ibra felt that William got a screw loose in his head or something to think this way. And so, he dropped the thought of speaking with William about this and kept his silence.

Others kept working diligently. Lang did as William instructed, and the healing potions kicked in and showed their true magic.

The wounds that were shallow and superficial got almost healed in the span of a few minutes. As for those deep wounds, they got healed partially, and stopped being a burden over the lives of those affected by them.

Others kept working over the big bodies of these leopards, gathering up lots of loot. These leopards got not only cores and fur, but also few bones, teeth, and claws as well, which all could be considered of value.

Berry kept gathering everything inside her ring. And in ten minutes, everyone finished their tasks, stood around William, waiting for him to finish his training session.

William didn\'t take more than a few minutes to get his cores. Then he returned to replenish his spirit power.

"Are you ready?" After five more minutes, he opened his eyes, stood up, and looked around. The ones who looked this close from getting crippled were standing like nothing happened to them. Only superficial wounds remained, with signs of these being close to healing.

"We are waiting for you," Ibra looked in a weird way towards William, "what were you doing just now?"

"Just recovering my spirit power," William didn\'t explain anything about what he was doing, "we wasted enough time here. Let\'s keep going forward."

No one noticed, but during his training, he sneakily absorbed the silver grade cores he got.

The process of devouring these spirit cores didn\'t cause any reaction or was accompanied by any abnormal phenomenon. So, he took his time and slowly absorbed these cores, feeling his spirit power increase!

He didn\'t need to test it to know what results he got. Unlike what he imagined earlier, his spirit power skyrocketed by forty-five points, closely arriving at the two hundred mark.

He thought he had to absorb all the cores he got to gain fifty spirit power, but it seemed he\'d end up having more than that.

"Lang, check with Smith and others, see if the path is safe or not," as they took close to half an hour in the past fight, William wasn\'t sure if there were more monsters coming or not.

"Things look cool," Lang said after taking out his Bullets and checking with the scout team, "they kept moving and are at least four miles away from us."

"Should we ask them to slow down?" Peter suggested, and William shook his head.

"Let them keep moving at their current speed," William didn\'t like how fast the monsters arrived after getting warned. That was thanks to the limited distance between the two groups. And that limited the true value of the reconnaissance team led by Smith.

Having such a big distance apart was enough to give the team time to respond and prepare for anything coming.

[There is an abnormal movement in the north-east!]

And just after walking in silence and without anything significant happening for three more hours, this message was relayed directly in William\'s mind from Smith.

William took his Bullet out, and started asking more about what was going on.

"Hmm… They must be the scarlet monkeys," after hearing what Smith had seen over his side, William guessed the true nature of the monsters coming towards them, "Keep an eye over them," he paused for a moment, "don\'t engage or stir any trouble!"

[I believe there are hundreds of them coming in your way!]

"Just do as I say," William felt how anxious Smith was, and he got a point here. Scarlet monkeys were known to be an annoying breed of monsters, quite weak and yet very troublesome.
