725: The Necromancer's Discovery

“An eighth-Rank Dark-element Demonic Beast’s energy core?”

“It seems my plan to infiltrate Yecao Town needs to change slightly.”

After the Dark Titan reached the limit of its infancy, Wang Chen naturally obtained the Materials information required for the Dark Titan to advance to its juvenile phase.

Unlike his previous guess, the Dark Titan’s advancement didn't require rare Materials, but rather Demonic Beast cores.

For Wang Chen, this was incredibly good news.

Although an eighth-Rank Demonic Beast’s energy core was more valuable than S-Rank Materials.

With Wang Chen’s current strength, hunting an eighth-Rank Demonic Beast’s energy core was much easier than finding S-Rank Materials.

There were quite a few eighth-Rank Demonic Beasts in the Demon Beast Forest where he was currently located, and due to the Dead Spirit Race’s Qi erosion, no matter what attribute these eighth-Rank Demonic Beasts were during the day, they had all now transformed into Dark-element monsters.

“I remember the map indicated there’s an eighth-Rank Howling Moon Azure Wolf nearby.”

“Kill it, and the Materials for the Dark Titan’s advancement will be enough.”

Musing to himself, Wang Chen decided to advance the Dark Titan first, then go find trouble with the Dead Spirit Race in Yecao Town.

After all, if he wanted to quickly increase his strength now, raising the Dark Titan’s Rank was the optimal solution.

“Thirty miles east, Canglang Valley.”

Taking out the map to confirm the location, Wang Chen directly left the area with the Dark Titan.

And not long after they left…

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Scattered Demonic Beasts arrived in this area, devouring the flesh and blood of their kin, beginning a feast of blood.

And as these Demonic Beasts feasted, a ripple appeared in the dark shadows, from which three figures emerged.

These three figures were half-human, half-insect, clad in armor, holding various weapons, and all looked at the scene before them with grave expressions.

“What’s going on?”

“This repulsive Qi, a Human Race Strong cultivating holy power, has come to the Demon Beast Forest at night.”

“Hiss! How many Demonic Beasts were killed?”

“The number of dead Demonic Beasts is probably over ten thousand; the one who acted was at least an eighth-Rank Human Race Strong!”

“Acting so brazenly, not even bothering to hide his tracks in the slightest, what exactly does this unknown Human Race Strong want to do?”

Looking at the destructive scene before them, the three Death Spirits couldn't help but exclaim, their eyes filled with extreme solemnity.

The massive pit, over a thousand meters in diameter, gave them a chilling sensation, and the still-hot magma within, even from a distance, still made them feel an oppressive heat.

These sights alone made it easy to guess how terrifying the power of the attack that landed here not long ago was!

“Captain, it’s a good thing you made us wait a bit on the way.”

“If we had arrived faster, we probably wouldn't have even gotten close to the center; just the residual shockwaves from the edge would have torn us to shreds.”

One Death Spirit cautiously swallowed, speaking to the Death Spirit Captain beside him with lingering fear.

They were a hunting squad from Yecao Town, coming out at night to hunt Demonic Beasts and collect various Materials.

However, not long after they set out, they sensed a terrifying energy fluctuation here and simultaneously witnessed the dreadful sight of holy power erupting.

“Captain, should we go down and collect some Materials?”

“Among those Demonic Beasts below, besides those completely destroyed, there are still many useful Materials left. If we can collect them, the harvest might be comparable to a month’s worth.”

At this moment, another Death Spirit looked at the flesh and blood being devoured by the Demonic Beasts, and the Materials gradually disappearing under the erosion of Dark Qi, and a hint of greed couldn't help but appear on his face.

Hearing his subordinate’s words, the Death Spirit Captain’s expression shifted, but he hesitated.

“The news of an eighth-Rank Human Race Strong appearing in the Demon Beast Forest must be reported to the commander and the town master as soon as possible. If we stay here…”

The Death Spirit Captain said with some hesitation.

“Captain, with such a huge commotion, the town must have seen it too. Commander will surely respond with his wise and mighty judgment.”

“If we collect some Materials before reporting back, it won’t have any impact.”

“Besides, there are quite a lot of these Materials, enough to match a month’s worth of our harvest. Bringing them back will definitely be a great contribution.”

“That’s right, Captain, these Materials will also be devoured by Demonic Beasts if left here, and will naturally dissipate under the Dark Qi. It’s a waste if we don’t take them.”

The other two Death Spirits in the squad, seeing their Captain hesitate, quickly tried to persuade him.

“This… Alright!”

“Hurry up. Before more Demonic Beasts are attracted by the scent of blood, we’ll take as much as we can.”

The Death Spirit Captain hesitated for a moment, then nodded and instructed in a low voice.

Hearing his words, the two squad members’ faces lit up with joy, and they quickly pulled out the bags they carried and got busy.

They carefully landed on the ground, avoiding the flesh-devouring Demonic Beasts, and cut out various useful Materials.

As their harvest grew, the Death Spirits’ expressions became increasingly solemn, and even a hint of fear occasionally flashed in their eyes.

The number of dead Demonic Beasts was simply too great; many of them were powerful enough that just one could wipe out their squad.

Yet, such powerful Demonic Beasts were now dying here in droves, as fragile as ordinary creatures.

“Ah, Captain, come quickly and see…”

Just then, a Death Spirit collecting Materials suddenly exclaimed.

He stood beside the terrifying pit, looking with a face full of terror at a carbonized corpse nearby.

“I told you to be careful! Are you trying to get us killed by shouting like that?”

Hearing his companion’s words, the Death Spirit Captain couldn't help but growl, his face turning somewhat grim.

The Demonic Beasts feasting wildly around them all looked over because of the sound, their crimson eyes like searchlights, emitting a chilling glow.

The atmosphere instantly became stagnant!

All three Death Spirits were on high alert, ready to retreat at any moment.

However.

Those Demonic Beasts took a glance, then continued to devour the flesh and blood.

Clearly, the three Death Spirits’ small bodies were less appealing to them than the broken flesh and blood on the ground.

“Hoo!”

Seeing this, the Death Spirit Captain let out a sigh of relief, glared fiercely at his companion, then walked closer.

“So reckless, Morton. If you’re so careless again next time, I’ll suggest to Commander to remove you from the hunting squad.”

The Death Spirit Captain reprimanded his subordinate, then asked:

“What did you find?”

“Captain, look…”

The Death Spirit named Morton didn't dare to retort, carefully pointing at the carbonized corpse nearby.

This was a bear-like creature; even though its body had shrunk and carbonized, its height still exceeded two meters as it lay there, emitting a fierce aura.
