Alex was clearly adept at attaching himself to powerful figures. His behavior at that moment made him seem like a complete sycophant.
However, as Ed looked at the two of them, clearly exhausted from the encounter, his expression remained flat, even somewhat exasperated.
"I've already noticed this monster a while ago. It's too weak, and its value is extremely low. It's not even worth considering," Ed said.
"You two, just stay here and deal with it yourselves."
Upon hearing this, Alex and Lucas's faces froze immediately.
This was awkward.
For Ed, what mattered most now was higher-level monsters!
Ideally, something more valuable than the Red Poison Ants!
Spending time hunting low-level monsters would be a waste.
However, it seemed high-level monsters weren't so easy to find either.
Ed's mind raced: That said, if I just take the spoils from the strongest Hunters, I might get faster results.
