"I'm sorry," he said with a smile. "I couldn't wait for you, so I made my first kill of our journey."
Hearing this, the other five friends chuckled softly as they observed the Fanged Hog.
"Don't show off," Gao Yan retorted with a nudge to his chest. "If Fanged Hogs count, then I definitely claimed my kill yesterday."
Yan Xiaobao could only shrug helplessly, as it was indeed true. He didn't bother to argue over the obvious but instead pulled out a jet-black dagger stained with dark blood and carefully extracted the magic core from inside the hog's head with steady hands.
Although this was Yan Xiaobao's first attempt at retrieving a beast core from the head of a creature, it went unexpectedly well. The dagger was truly a treasure, managing to carve through the hog's skull as if it were made of butter.
