While Liam was busy with the orcs, the rest of the group slowly started to spread out and take charge of the city. They split into two groups and started expanding their circle in two different directions.
But they soon realized that Liam's warning was not for naught. As they headed deeper into the outskirts, where every single beast hadn't already been cleared, they started running into some unexpected elites and strong beasts.
Despite the danger and difficulty presented by these beasts, the group gained a substantial amount of experience points from defeating them.
But the drops were non-existent and there were also no mana cores. At least the beast meat obtained from them was extremely nutritious.
Unlike Liam, the two groups couldn't simply pump and dump. They did not have any soul minions working for them at the moment. They had to personally take care of the resources.
