Aside from this drop of divine blood, no other divine blood was found in the pit.

After a quick search, the group headed towards the mountain not far away.

Perhaps there's more divine blood hidden beneath the solidified lava, but without proper digging tools, it's impossible to excavate with swords. Furthermore, the bottom of the pit was polluted by the blood from Yu Hongyong's corpse. With the grim fate before their eyes, everyone hesitated.

Fortunately, there might be more divine blood at the mountain peak nearby.

It paused there for several seconds, and there must have been plenty of divine blood left behind.

Chen Shouyi followed the group to the mountaintop, looking shocked.

The entire summit was flat and barren, with web-like cracks spreading from the center outward. If it weren't for the occasional tree roots showing signs of erosion by divine power, one might suspect this place was naturally desolate.

This was just the aftermath of one roar from the other party.

Chen Shouyi felt a weight in his heart; if such power appeared in Hedong City, who could resist it?

Maybe on Earth, it would become much weaker, but even then, going from a Tyrannosaurus Rex to a tiger makes little difference to frail humans.

He shook his head slightly, turning away from these thoughts. As that deity said, to be weak is a sin. Overthinking would only bring unnecessary trouble.

Seeing someone had already discovered divine blood ahead, Chen Shouyi quickly sped up to follow.

A large pool of divine blood, spanning half a meter in diameter.

Even though the sun had risen and it was already daylight, the surface still shimmered with a radiant glow, exuding a suppressive and fear-inducing aura. Chen Shouyi even noticed the air above the divine blood was slightly distorted, clearly containing immense energy.

Many people gazed at the pool with shining eyes, their breaths a bit hurried.

Fortunately, this time, everyone remained much more rational, with nobody daring to act rashly, only observing from afar.

"How should this be distributed?" Qin Liuyuan asked, forcing himself to look away from the divine blood.

Once these words were spoken, the atmosphere became somewhat tense. The formerly harmonious environment now seemed to have subtle implications, while the Martial Artists from the city government and the military grew slightly wary.

Conflicts over interests during inter-world joint explorations were not uncommon. The other world was a lawless place where killing required no reservations.

Xiao Changming glanced at everyone, remaining silent for a moment before stating, "This divine blood was obtained from this exploration, so it should be distributed according to the Explorer's allocation method. No objections, right?"

"Of course not!" Qin Liuyuan immediately smiled, relieved that he was most worried about the military claiming carelessness as an excuse for monopolizing. Since it would be distributed according to the Explorer's method, there was no issue.

Several military Martial Artists also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, not everyone is a saint. Who wouldn't feel a bit covetous? Having taken such great risks, only to receive a commendation or scraps wouldn't sit well with anyone.

"That's good. We three and the other nine Martial Artists will split six to four, with Chen Shouyi getting 30% of our 60%. Does anyone have any objections?"

In a joint exploration, regardless of how much the Martial Artists contributed, the other Grand Martial Artist couldn't receive more than 20%, sometimes even less. This was an unwritten rule.

"No problem!" Qin Liuyuan hesitated for a moment but then nodded, acknowledging that this distribution was fair. The Martial Artists' circle respects the powerful, and strength dictates a larger share. Chen Shouyi's contribution in this adventure indeed far surpassed theirs combined, thus deserving 30%.

Chen Shouyi naturally had no objections!

This proportion far exceeded his expectations; he would have been satisfied even with a fifth.

...

Everyone started to work, collecting hard leaves nearby to carefully store the divine blood in a military canteen.

What couldn't be taken was also not wasted.

Using swords, they scraped and took the soil with the stones.

In the end, Chen Shouyi received about thirty milliliters of divine blood, forming a thin layer in the mineral water bottle, radiating a mesmerizing glow under the sunlight. He also got about half a pound of blood-soaked soil.

Chen Shouyi removed his clothes, wrapped the blood-soaked soil into a bundle, and placed it in the backpack alongside the mineral water bottle.

On the way back, Chen Shouyi asked Qin Liuyuan, "How do you plan to handle this divine blood?"

"A biological laboratory can handle it," Qin Liuyuan replied cheerfully. "The main task is to remove the genes from the blood. The deity's genes are too aggressive. Consuming it would cause genetic collapse. If efficiency isn't a priority, it's simpler; just filter out the cells, and it can be used."

Chen Shouyi nodded secretly. As someone who was still a high school senior six months ago, he knew how to extract plasma.

Add anticoagulant to the blood, centrifuge or let it settle naturally; the upper yellow translucent liquid is plasma. For purer plasma, take the upper liquid, centrifuge, let it settle, and you'll get pure plasma.

The only hassle is that there is no power now; centrifuges are unusable.

But surely the laboratory has alternative methods since these are basic biological operations. If they can't solve that, the laboratory might as well shut down.

...

On the way, they discovered traces of the Giant Scythe Insects. Clearly, with the divine battle over, these creatures no longer hid in their burrows and began to venture out. After a brief discussion, they found an open area and stopped to rest.

Firstly, only an hour and a half had passed since the battle, and everyone's fatigue hadn't completely faded. Secondly, the more Giant Scythe Insects roamed outside, the safer it would be to raid the nest later.

After resting for two hours, the team set off again.

They took down over a dozen black Giant Scythe Insects along the way, carefully approaching the cave entrance.

Before entering, Xiao Changming gravely said to the Martial Artists, "Once inside the cave, move quickly and fight decisively. When we return to Hedong City, I hope no one gets left behind!"

Whether they were military Martial Artists or from the city government, they nodded gravely.

Despite having rested for over three hours, how could their conditions recover so quickly? Many, even with strained arm muscles, found their arms weak and useless, severely reducing combat power. If they faced the previous siege again, they might all be wiped out.

Once inside the cave, everyone sprinted forward.

At this moment, Chen Shouyi's agility far surpassed that of a Grand Martial Artist, allowing him to move with ease.

Whenever Giant Scythe Insects appeared, before the other two Grand Martial Artists even reacted, an arrow had already swiftly pierced through the creature.

Whether facing one or two, there seemed to be no difference; the group didn't even pause or slow down while running. Even when unexpectedly encountering a Silver Giant Scythe Insect, it was the same.

In mere half a second, Chen Shouyi shot five arrows lightning fast. Ordinary Martial Artists only heard the continuous hum of arrow shots. The Silver Giant Scythe Insect was already lying on the ground, completely powerless to struggle.

Qin Liuyuan and Xiao Changming exchanged glances, their hearts filled with shock. Such power was simply unimaginable, not far from rivaling a Martial Artist.

Martial Artist refers to someone of grandmaster level, with a scarce number almost at the pinnacle of human combat strength. There wasn't a single one in the entire Jiangnan Province, and each one was a prominent figure, akin to national treasures, rarely seen.

...

The group sprinted forward, covering six to seven hundred meters in just a few dozen seconds, with the spatial passage not far ahead.
