Chapter 3027: Huge Returns

Ye Liuyun, seeing how much combat power he had lost on his side, couldn't help feeling a bit regretful, thinking that they had been heavily at a loss in this battle.

At this moment, the blue whale, seeing that the black shark's strong ones had all been wiped out, excitedly whined while circling the battlefield, as if to keep the black shark from escaping.

Ye Liuyun had no time to attend to it for now, but had already resolved that if they couldn't find sufficient resources in the black shark's territory, he would finally roast the beast and hand it out for everyone to eat.

After the battle ended, the people around Ye Liuyun, protected by him and his duplicates, were not killed, though a few were injured. Ye Liuyun gave each wounded person a drop of Life Spring Water, including those Martial Cultivator strong ones, so they could recover quickly.

Of those twenty‑two Martial Cultivator strong ones, only five who used relatively simple tactics died; the others at most were merely injured.

"Only five died!" Ye Liuyun felt a bit regretful. "These strong ones are still not enough in the Wasteland Sea World."

After he settled the wounded, he began, together with the remaining people, to collect black shark corpses and Yuan Dan, and to clean the battlefield. Several bleached black shark corpses still floated on the sea surface.

In this battle his ancient demon guard lost half, Demon Beast lost half, the Foreign Tribe was completely wiped out, ordinary Martial Cultivators were completely wiped out, five women were injured, Tang Xinyao's side also had five injured, and Martial Cultivator strong ones lost five.

He also felt relieved in his heart, glad that he had captured some strong ones in advance; otherwise, with only their own power, they really couldn't explore here. If these strong ones hadn't been present, he feared he would have to use firepower tanks.

Ye Liuyun immediately had Long Nv ask the blue whale where the resources were.

The blue whale was still excitedly whining nearby; hearing Long Nv's summons, it immediately turned and led the way, continuing to swim forward.

"It said there are resources at the black shark's lair. It also said to give you a bit of it later!" Long Nv told Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun almost spat blood at the blue whale: "Are sea beasts this shameless? Daring to ask me for resources? I've lost so many people; if we can't find enough resources, I'll roast it on the spot!"

Long Nv only smiled, knowing he was speaking hot‑blooded words, and immediately followed the blue whale. She also didn't know the situation here, and would see later.

She also knew that Ye Liuyun's battle had indeed lost a lot; if they couldn't find enough resources, it would truly be a loss.

Ye Liuyun also gathered the others into the Space World, letting them use the time to recover, and only took two duplicates with him.

Not having gone far forward, the blue whale began to sink. Ye Liuyun and his duplicates also descended with Long Nv.

They kept descending until Ye Liuyun felt the pressure of the deep sea, finally reaching a sandy seabed. The deep sea was pitch black, but Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil already saw a vast expanse of Primordial Power and various colored Crystal Stones and sea‑beast Yuan Dan.

The blue whale whined again, excitedly circling that expanse of energy source, but it behaved properly, not rushing to snatch it, instead waiting for Ye Liuyun to allocate it to it.

Ye Liuyun looked and saw the quantity seemed large but still insufficient to cover his losses; some of the Primordial Power's energy had already been absorbed down to half. So he waved his hand and gathered those Primordial Power and Crystal Stones.

But to his surprise, there was still more below; he had only taken the surface layer.

"Huh? There's still this much!" He only then got interested and continued to collect resources.

He then kept collecting layer by layer, not knowing how much remained below. The energy was so dense that his Golden Pupil couldn't see through; he could only keep gathering and then look.

After working hard for half a day, he realized the terrain was funnel‑shaped, narrowing as it went deeper. By his estimate, the resources here could match the Treasure Vaults of two or three merchant guilds.

"That's about right!" Ye Liuyun finally thought the returns were pretty good.

However, Ye Liuyun's satisfaction soon turned into surprise.

The next lower layer of resources turned into the essence of various Crystal Stones,

and the Primordial Power became even richer, clearly a higher grade than ordinary resources.

"Ha ha, this return is really substantial!" Ye Liuyun couldn't help laughing.

It's just a pity that he hadn't collected many layers before it ended. At this point he also saw that the area resembled a basin, a circular‑arc bottom.

Nevertheless, the harvest was not small; Ye Liuyun was quite satisfied.

"Woo!"

The blue whale beside, seeing the resources gone, seemed a bit anxious.

"Ha ha, tell that big guy not to worry; I'll sort it out and allocate it to him."

Ye Liuyun also immediately had Long Nv notify the blue whale so it wouldn't misunderstand.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun went around, found many deep‑sea‑specific medicinal herbs, and then ascended to the surface together with the blue whale and Long Nv.

Long Nv also told Ye Liuyun that the blue whale needed Primordial Power, sea‑beast Yuan Dan, and water‑attribute Crystal Stones; the rest were useless.

Ye Liuyun gladly agreed; the women in the Space World had already sorted the resources. They extracted the already‑absorbed Primordial Power, Yuan Dan, and water‑attribute Crystal Stones, packed them into a Storage Ring, and gave it to the blue whale.

These resources combined were enough to fill a layer. Although the energy inside had been partially absorbed, the quantity was large, and the blue whale didn't mind; it whined thanks, then directly swallowed everything, its huge tail slapping the sea surface with a booming splash.

"It says these resources are enough for it to advance one realm," Long Nv also relayed the blue whale's message to Ye Liuyun.

"We'll keep looking for resources; if we find more, we'll share them with it."

Ye Liuyun directly promised that.

After Long Nv told the blue whale, the blue whale immediately swam toward a direction, its speed much faster than before.

"The resources the thief cat stole before, plus the resources we found this time in the Wasteland Sea, are enough for me and my companions to cultivate to the unified Fifth and Sixth layers!" Ye Liuyun was still calculating in his mind how long these resources would last.

He and his two duplicates also took turns returning to restore Mysterious Origin, replenishing Storage Yuan Stones, preparing for the next battle.

His Golden Pupil occasionally glimpsed a few fleeing black sharks in the distance, but he didn't pursue them, not wanting to completely exterminate the species.

Yet they hadn't fully left the black shark's territory when Long Nv and the blue whale both heard the mermaid group's screams.

"They're probing the black shark group. Probably they discovered we wiped out the black sharks and want to loot," Long Nv told Ye Liuyun.

The mermaid's voices were transmitted underwater, and even Ye Liuyun didn't hear them.

"So the mermaid group and black sharks are neighbors? Is this blue whale going to lead us to the mermaid's territory?" Ye Liuyun asked Long Nv. Long Nv immediately got confirmation from the blue whale.
