• Peggy chose four warriors to enter with Wang Teng while the rest stayed outside to keep watch, and the new entrance sealed itself behind them.

Wang Teng and Peggy’s team infiltrated the Darkness Breed tunnels, where Wang Teng ambushed a Magic Armor Race guard and learned a skill that could create its armor.

Wang Teng discovered a juvenile Demon Egg feeding on a source mine and cautiously collected its Attribute Bubbles while avoiding the two Lower Demon Emperor Level Darkness Breeds nearby. The gains raised his Darkness Starry Sky Source Power to the Planetary Level Seventh Layer and filled his Stellar Level Spirit to its limit, but his spirit did not break through to the Universe Level.
