Hearing Sister Orb's voice, Rean and Roan were surprised.

"It seems like that our contribution was big enough to be considered a kill too. Most likely because it is a Stage Two Demon Beast, so the efforts were equivalent."

Rean nodded.

"However, Sister Orb had spoken normally a few moments ago, why does she need to go back to this machine-like speech right after?"

Roan didn't care, though.

"Anyway, we can take a look later. For now, this exchange of elements is of greater concern. Did you feel anything blocking you when we did the exchange?"

Rean shook his head.

"No, it was very natural, as if it was already part of me."

Roan agreed with Rean.

"Exactly. That means that our connection through that Black and White thread is stronger than I imagined. I guess it will be a lot harder to get rid of it in the future."

It was then that Rean mentioned.

"We tried to go to two opposite sides of the Tribe, but the connection was still there. However, the Tribe is just so big. If a chance appears, we should try to move even further away to see if it would impact our souls or bodies in any way."

Roan pondered a bit.

"Very well. We can check it another time. For now, let's help them bring the Python's body back."

Alanda looked at the body and around, but couldn't find any clue.

"It came from the ground, and it doesn't seem like it was lured here. I can only conclude that it was mere coincidence that it appeared in this place."

Rean approached it and tried to feel it's life force.

"Tribe Vice Leader. I can still feel the presence of Life Energy in its head. So this Python probably has a Demon Core as well."

Alanda already knew about Rean's ability to feel the Life Energy of Demon Cores.

"That is to be expected. The higher the Stage of the Demon Beast, the greater the chances of a Demon Core appearing. From the Stage Four ahead, all demon beasts have Demon Cores."

Rean looked close to the Python's back and pointed out.

"However, there are also a few signs of Life Force on its rear."

"What?!"

Alanda immediately went there and carefully opened the Python's body.

"I see, no wonder it came to outer skirts of the Forest. It is female and pregnant on top of it. It was about to lay its eggs, so it needed somewhere safer since it would be in a weakened state after that. I really can't say if you four are lucky or not."

Hearing that, Roan couldn't help but ask.

"Are those eggs worth anything?"

Alanda smiled and nodded.

"This demon Beast will naturally reach a Stage Two level when it reaches the adult stage. As long as you have the resources and the ways to train it, you might be able to get a powerful helper. So its eggs are worth at least 200 Spirit Stones each, and there are three of them. Not to mention the Demon Core in its head."

Rean's group eyes immediately lit up.

"But! 50% of it is for the Tribe. It was also because of me that we could kill it, so I'm getting half of the remaining value, which is 25%. It leaves 25% for the rest of you."

Rean and Roan's expression changed immediately. But they couldn't complain since it was the truth. As much as blinding it was helpful, the fact is that the Python would have escaped had Alanda not arrived. Rean, Roan, Diakar, and Opril definitely didn't have the power to stop, much less kill it.

"Alright, the three eggs will be worth around 600 Spirit Stones. As for the Stage Two Demon Core, it is worth 500 Spirit Stones. In the end, it will give us 1100 Spirit Stones. 550 are the Tribe's share. 225 are mine, while the other 225 are yours. The four of you can decide how to split it."

Diakar then stepped forward and said.

"Opril and I didn't do much this time. It was also Rean and Roan who blinded it. So we are fine with 30 or so Spirit Stones."

Alanda nodded.

"Very well, so 60 Spirit Stones of your 225 will be given to Diakar and Opril, 30 each. The remaining 165 will be used to pay part of Rean and Roan's 200 Spirit Stones debt. Very good, the two of you only owe the Tribe another 35 Spirit Stones. Work hard, young ones."

Rean and Roan wanted to cry but had no tears. After everything that passed through, they weren't even able to clear their debts. Alanda didn't give any leeway to them either. So they could only sulk it.

"I swear that I will give this darn geezer a good beating when I get into the Foundation Establishment."

Roan nodded.

"What a surprise, I also feel the same way as you."

Alanda heard that but completely ignored the two.

After that, they grabbed the Python's body and brought it back to the leading group. After seeing the enormous demon beast, all the warriors and kids were shocked. It wasn't every day that they can see a Stage Two Demon Beast, after all. The group's hunting immediately stopped, and they took their time cleaning the Python's body of all its useful parts. Everything that could be used was carefully kept.

After they finished, Alanda announced the hunting time's end, and everyone started to make their way back to the Tribe. After arriving there, Rean, Roan, and Alanda went to see Juri in his home.

"I see, so you can use each other's elements. Well, even if you haven't told us that, it wasn't hard to ascertain. After all, even your hair changed when Alanda saw you using the opposite Element. Still, how did you manage to do that?"

Rean and Roan shook their heads.

"You can consider it a link between him and me—a type of connection that the two of us were born with. In fact, we only noticed it during that moment against the Earth Python, so it is also new for us."

Juri nodded.

"Anyway, this is a good thing for you. Still, try to not show it around to avoid unnecessary attention. That's all."

Alanda and the twins then bid farewell to Juri and returned their homes.

Sure enough, that night, Roan mercilessly ate Rean's dessert without the least bit of remorse, much for Rean's regret. Subsequently, they returned to their room and immediately entered the Soul Gem dimension. It was time to check the new Reward List.
