Chapter 961 Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
Liam"s soul was the first to recover, thanks to the numerous disintegrated soul specks floating around the area of ma.s.sacre amidst the scattered pieces of isons and orichalc.u.m.
So he used this chance to summon his soul army and sent them to work at least until he was able to move again. His soul wasn"t yet a hundred percent recovered, but he was strong enough to do this much.
Luna also joined the soul army and started searching for mana cores, especially the bigger ones. Soon, all the main cores were collected.
Liam"s gaze was particularly fixated on the biggest core, which was very much similar to the one he had obtained in the previous hive hill.
"A queen for each hive hill, huh?" He grunted and moved, pocketing all the gathered items so far, and then immediately took off with Luna.
Unfortunately, they did not have the luxury of time. So they weren"t able to sit and collect everything at the site with patience.
Liam grabbed whatever the soul army had managed to gather up until now, and the two returned back to the closest magic shop.
This was the one in the north to which they had teleported.
The fairies in the shop were all different faces, there was another store manager, and the whole setup had minor differences, but mostly everything was the same.
Liam did not bother to strike up any conversations with this store manager and directly got into the business. Taking another teleportation portal, he arrived at a location that was east of the current magic shop.
He was still dead tired, so he used the chance to rest up on Luna"s back while the fox dashed around here and there at top speed, searching around for any signs of the next hive hill.
Although compared to the dungeons, magic shops, and portals, these hive hills seemed much rarer, Liam had no doubt that it was going to be a long day.
This was because they had to make sure that they took out every single one of these hive hills without leaving behind a single one. Even a single missed hive could spell disaster for the whole world.
Meanwhile… in other parts of the world and Crimson Abyss guild base, a huge uproar was beginning to spread.
The various guild leaders began to receive completely unexpected, shocking system notifications.

Everyone dumbfoundedly stared at these notifications in a state of utter shock and disbelief.
One second they were dreading how to pay such a huge amount of registration fees and were regretting their action of creating a guild in the first place. And the next second… everything was paid up?
Not just that but out of nowhere, their guilds were getting upgraded???
What the h.e.l.l was happening in this crazy world now???
There were the beasts, the bizarre insects, and now, these guild upgrades???
At this point, some guild leaders even began to wonder if this was a good thing or a bad thing! Since the world was out to screw them from every which way, how could a pie like this simply fall down from the sky?
It made absolutely no sense whatsoever. Surely, there at least needed to be some consequences for this?
Maybe if this had been a few days before, it would have been fine, but now with these nightmare bugs running around everywhere and claiming people"s lives, they simply did not have the strength to bear any more consequences.
They had somehow survived up until now. However, this was their limit. They really couldn"t take any more. Everyone was just an inch away from breaking down completely.
In this kind of atmosphere, all the guild leaders raced to their local magic shop and crowded around the guild panels and the fairies to see what was going on.
To their dismay, the fairies in the various magic shops also seemed to be equally busy and restless, bustling around here and there, barely having time to answer any questions.
They were not in a mood even to display their usual fake friendly att.i.tudes.
Some of the fairies were straight-up hostile, furious, and p.i.s.sed off that their money-making scheme was thwarted, and now they had to give up actual benefits.
Moreover, they were not even going to get interests and other cuts out of these gigantic transactions that cost several billions of mana cores. It was the absolute worst-case scenario!
The att.i.tudes of the store managers were particularly nasty.
"Stop asking me idiotic questions. I don"t have time to sit around and answer, you stupid, foolish human being!"
"A filthy trash from the lower realm should not even be allowed to step inside this shop!"
"If you pester me with any more questions, then I will completely revoke your guild registration!"
"Why haven"t you yet been killed by the isons? Scram, you filthy human!"
The various store managers were making huge losses in these transactions, and all of them were out for blood, sniffing around to find out who exactly was responsible for this fiasco!
Which b.a.s.t.a.r.d had dared to sell them all out and collectively burn their profit margin? If only they could get their hands on this person! The fairies hurriedly went through the logs to check what exactly went down.
And since no one was being helpful, it was the guild communications channel that instantly blew up and went viral!
