Seeing those light clusters shoot off in all directions at incredible speed, Tie Wu, Su Mei, and the others in the sky all changed expressions.

After working for most of the day, they couldn't let them get away just like that.

"Move! Catch them!"

Golden Dou Qi over a hundred meters long transformed into a Sky-Supporting Giant Hand. Tie Wu, its owner, controlled the hand as it swept toward several fleeing light clusters.

The hundred-meter giant hand left the nearby light clusters with nowhere to evade.

They could only be trapped. Although the light clusters struggled desperately within the giant hand, beneath Tie Wu's golden and profound Dou Qi, their struggles were nothing more than futile effort. They could only be firmly imprisoned inside.

As they struggled, the white light around the clusters gradually dimmed.

Until it finally disappeared, and Tie Wu successfully scooped them back into his hand.

"A Grade Six Medicinal Pill, the Wind-Agility Pill, a Profound Tier High-Grade Movement Dou Technique, Ghostly Shadow Steps, and a Sixth-Tier Magical Beast Core!" Tie Wu revealed a delighted expression as he looked at these items.

A Profound Tier High-Grade Dou Skill was one thing, but even he didn't have many Grade Six Medicinal Pills or Sixth-Tier Magic Cores.

Especially Sixth-Tier Magic Cores. Sixth-Tier Magical Beasts possessed intelligence no less than that of humans, and with their thick skin and tough flesh, it was extremely difficult for him to kill a Magical Beast of the same tier.

Thus, Magic Cores of this level were extremely precious.

He didn't have a single Sixth-Tier Magical Beast Core in his possession.

He hadn't expected to fish up such good things this time.

Even if these were the only things he got, this trip would not have been in vain.

Tie Wu was utterly pleased with himself.

The other experts standing in the sky also made their moves one after another when Tie Wu acted, and everyone gained something more or less.

Some looked delighted, while others wore gloomy expressions. Clearly, Not Necessarily every light cluster contained something useful.

Although there were many experts in the sky, there were over a hundred light clusters, and they were shooting away at astonishing speed.

Therefore, there were always some that slipped through their net and flew in other directions.

If anyone had observed carefully, they would have discovered that nearly three-fifths of the light clusters had not been caught.

Naturally, the experts in the sky would not give up on these light clusters.

And the Dou Lings, Da Dou Shis, and even Dou Shis who had been waiting in the forest for a long time had been waiting for precisely this moment.

They all moved to intercept and pursue those light clusters.

For a time, the mountain peak descended into chaos.

Dou Qi of various colors crisscrossed through the air.

Xiao Ming, who had originally planned to slip away, crouched on a tree branch and watched a light cluster shooting toward his direction, feeling somewhat hesitant.

This light cluster was practically tempting him.

Should he run now, or should he go snatch that light cluster?

Xiao Ming hesitated, but Those People around him would not.

Especially the four people he had been following. Hidden in big trees not far ahead of Xiao Ming, they looked at the treasure shooting toward them and all revealed delighted expressions.

Hahaha, wasn't this perfect timing!

Bang!

With a push of their feet, the trees swayed violently from the recoil, and leaves drifted down like a torrential rain.

The four Transformed Into black figures and lunged toward the light cluster in the air.

The four acted decisively, and their timing was excellent as well.

Under normal circumstances, they should have been able to intercept the light cluster.

But they were not the only ones lying in ambush nearby. Their fate had already been decided.

Rumble!

Several Dou Qi Attacks carrying intense light shot out from all over the Sea of Forest, targeting them directly.

"Ah! You dare!"

Sensing the fluctuations rising from below, the four looked down and their eyes nearly split with fury.

"Of course they dare." Xiao Ming muttered as he watched the group of four, unable to find footholds in the air, get easily killed by Others.

These people were still too young. Although they understood the way of lying low, they were not calm enough. Their heads had been clouded by the treasure, and they had rushed out together, becoming live targets.

Sigh, couldn't the four of you have left three behind to keep watch while sending one person to snatch the light cluster?

Well, now you're all dead.

No one knew Xiao Ming's thoughts. After the group of four died, no one remained to stop the light cluster, and it continued flying along its original trajectory.

Those hidden within the dense forest who had attacked the group of four naturally could not simply stand by.

They leaped out from the shadows one after another and attacked the light cluster.

Everyone had the same objective, so the competition was extremely fierce. As they charged toward the light cluster, they did not forget to launch attacks at the others to ensure they obtained it.

Energy Fluctuations of various colors even pressed down the nearby Sea of Forest.

"Tsk tsk, what a huge scene."

Xiao Ming looked at several Dou Lings in the battle group before his eyes, then at the Dou Kings fighting over treasures in the distance.

He clicked his tongue.

There was no need to hesitate now. He simply couldn't compete for it.

He should leave.

Bang!

Just as Xiao Ming was about to leave again, a tremendous boom rang out in the sky, and the already dim heavens became even darker.

Streaks Of blood-red ripples emerged from the black Spatial Channel at the center of the Jade Stone Plaza.

A Blood Red Giant Hand reached out from within and pressed down upon the Jade Stone Plaza, while a bloody, rotten stench spread in all directions.

Such a huge disturbance naturally drew many gazes. Even some who were Still Being fighting could not help but divide their attention to look over there.

"Damn it, what the hell is that?"

After a Dou King Expert killed several Dou Lings who had dared compete with him for treasure, he stuffed the treasure in his hands into his Na Ring. Then, Staring At the Blood Red Giant Hand more than ten meters wide, he couldn't help but blurt out the question.

Was this the hand of some animal? It didn't look like it. Instead, it looked more like a human hand.

Moreover, the hand seemed to be formed entirely from Blood Qi Energy, and its Energy Fluctuation even surpassed his own. This was far too strange!

No one could answer this Dou King's question.

Tie Wu, Su Mei, and Yuan Yi, the three great Dou Emperors, also stopped what they were doing and frowned at the hand. They didn't know what it was either.

They only felt a sense of foreboding in their hearts.

The Blood Red Giant Hand's actions soon proved their unease correct.

After resting quietly on the square for a brief moment, the Blood Red Giant Hand suddenly stretched outward.

It seemed the hand had an owner, and its owner wanted to emerge from the Spatial Channel.

But it failed. This Secret Realm Passage was far too narrow.

Its owner seemed to have noticed this problem as well, and the red giant hand gradually shrank.

As its size decreased, the giant hand began to shrink back into the Secret Realm Passage until it finally Disappeared.

Before everyone could be astonished, a Blood Red Figure around two meters tall walked out of the pitch-black passage. Blood Qi churned around it, and an even stronger bloody smell swept out in all directions.

It was here again!

At the instant it appeared, the Beast Flame inside Xiao Ming's body stirred.

However, perhaps because this was not the real target and the real target was inside the Spatial Channel, there was no need to soothe it. The Beast Flame quickly calmed down.

"Roar!"

On the square, the newly appeared blood-red figure opened its blood-red Big Mouth and let out a sky-shaking roar that was deafening.

Its strength was definitely at the Dou Emperor level, right?

What was it shouting for?!

Xiao Ming covered his ears in discomfort, his heart filled with shock at the Blood Red Monster's strength.

The next moment, something happened that shocked him even more.

Streaks Of blood-red energy shot out from the dense forest and flew into the Blood Red Figure's open mouth. The source of this Blood Qi was the corpses in the forest that had died while fighting over treasure.

"Damn, it's devouring Blood Qi! Were those dried corpses from before its doing?"

A young person in the distance from Xiao Ming said in shock.

As massive amounts of Blood Qi entered its mouth, the Blood Red Shadow's aura rapidly strengthened, its pressure enveloping the entire area as undisguised malice seeped forth.

Under such circumstances, everyone's fighting came to an abrupt halt.

Some light clusters took the opportunity to escape.

Yuan Yi, Su Mei, and the other experts looked in alarm at the Blood Red Figure as its aura charged toward the Dou Huang Peak, crying out in shock:

"Quick, stop it."

Thank you, Lan Feng and Free as Wind, for the Monthly Passes. Thank you, everyone, for the Recommendation Tickets.
