Chapter 245 - Seven Out Of Eleven
Ban recovered a while later with Eva and Tria on his side looking at him with worried gaze. Tria had also rested enough at this point and could probably use the burst mode for a few seconds already.
That mode just drains stamina like crazy, even Ban felt fear towards it now that he tried it for himself. He just wondered just how much stamina did Tria possessed for her to be able to maintain that mode for a few minutes previously. Ban's stamina and endurance was even enhanced repeatedly by the System after completing the Daily Missions. But it seems that even that was not enough.
He got up from the ground and leaned on the tree. Eva and Tria brought him here earlier, a perfect place to rest under the shade of the tree. He was fully aware of what was happening earlier, though he was a little groggy and was very tired that he could not even spare some energy to talk or order them so he just let Eva take the lead. She was a smart girl anyway so he had nothing to worry about.
Ban thought about what happened earlier. He really did not expect for the stamina consumption to be that large. Well, for an outburst like that, it should already be expected, but unfortunately, he did not account it into his plan.
He sighed and realized that he really needed to think deeply about this matter in the future. If there was Beast during that fall, he might have already been a goner now. There was also that woman who was wearing a mask that tried to catch him mid-air.
He got a hunch on who that might be but he doesn't want to make baseless guesses for now and would remain wary towards her and from his surroundings from now on. If what he guessed was true, then there was a high chance that his secret was already exposed.
'So be it, I'll just find another excuse from now on if it's truly as I have guessed.'
Ban set aside that matter for now as he inspected his Dimensional Storage Earring for their spoils.
The Dimensional Storage Earring was now fully loaded from the corpses of the crocodiles.
There were 11 of them in total and if it were not for the fact that there was no longer any space left inside the earring, he might have even decided to let Eva kill another one before escaping.
It was fortunate that it went that way as who knows what might happen if the same situation arises, then not only that masked female, even the remaining crocodile would also closely pursue them.
Eva also no longer has any skills to insta kill them so dealing with four of them at the same time would become problematic even for her.
Anyways, after letting Eva use the Sensor skill to determine if there was anyone around them and after confirming that it was safe, he finally retrieved all the corpses out as he checked the kill confirmation notification one by one.

This kind of kill confirmation notification was repeated 11 times and none of them has any Beast Cores or Skill Crystal inside them. Ban thought that it was a pity but was not disheartened from it as he knew that Beast Core and Skill Crystal were rare commodities.
After carefully looking at the notifications, he counted a total of seven F-Apprentice Rank while the remaining four were all X-Mortal Rank.
Although he was a little disappointed as he expected for all of them to be at F-Apprentice Rank, he nevertheless accepted it as it is.
He ordered Eva to only kill the bigger and skipe the smaller ones, hence the reason why they got as many as 7 F-Apprentice Rank. If he allowed Eva to kill the crocodile closest to her, he thought that getting 5 of them being at F-Apprentice Rank would already be lucky enough.
He patted and stroked Eva and Tria's head at the same time while singing praises to them for their performance while he was at it. The two also did not reject it and were even clearly happy to receive his care and praises.
The Unknown Egg won't eat if it was not F-Apprentice Rank or above so he set aside the four X-Mortal Mild Tempered Crocodiles for now and stored them inside the Dimensional Storage Earring again. He could sell them to Joana later or even cook some of them tonight. Anyways, these corpses won't be wasted.
The seven F-Apprentice Corpses were neatly placed horizontally in front of them. Each of them weighed at least a thousand kilograms. Fortunately, the Dimensional Storage Earring took all the weight to another space and so Ban did not feel any heaviness from them at all.
Each of the crocodiles have at least one or two cracked parts on their heads, the causes of their death. While at least two of them have their head corroded from Eva's Fluid Release Skill.
Aside from those fatal wounds, Ban did not find any other parts of their body that got wounded aside from old injuries so he thought that if he sold those X-Mortal Crocodiles, they would still fetch quite a price.
Setting them aside for now, Ban summoned the Unknown Egg from the Beast Tattoo to let it eat this Elite Grade F-Apprentice Rank Mild Tempered Crocodiles.
The Unknown Egg's size did not change that much even though it has already eaten 5 Beast at this point.
With this additional 7, the count would become 12/50, it was only the first day and he was already getting quite close to the goal. He looked forward to the day that this Unknown Egg would hatch.
He placed it over the first Mild Tempered Crocodile and allowed it to eat it, or rather absorb it.
After a few seconds, only a puddle of blood remained so Ban placed the egg again over the body of the next Mild Tempered Crocodile, allowing the Unknown Egg to do the same as what it did previously.
He also did the same towards the third one but on the fourth one, something happened which almost gave Ban a heart attack.
