Human Desire Is Endless

Inside the Venice venue.

Not long after Chen Lang and the tree demon clashed, the Pupil Eagle rushed over there.

Almost all spectators watching this World Academy Competition saw the real and ferocious side of demon beasts.

However, because the destructive aura of the intense battle between Chen Lang and the tree demon had been far too strong, the Pupil Eagle that had managed to arrive there was already shattered to pieces...

Precisely because of this, quite a few people only witnessed the cruelty of this demon beast, yet happened to not know whether Chen Lang had broken free...

The one most anxious to speak of was undoubtedly Chen Jin.

With his level of discernment, he could practically conclude that this tree demon had existed for at least several hundred years, and its strength definitely surpassed orthodox-level commanders. It belonged to the mid-level commander tier!

Han Ji, sitting beside him, saw Chen Jin's anxious expression and hurriedly reminded him, "Old Chen, look over there..."

Chen Jin was extremely impatient right now, in no mood to look at anything else.

Yet with Shao Zheng still sitting nearby, he could not afford to appear too irritable either.

When he turned his head, he saw that on Chen Lang's tally, the bounty had increased again!

Only then did Chen Jin understand Han Ji's meaning. Chen Lang was fine, and furthermore, he had obtained that elemental lightning stone.

The heart that had originally been hanging in suspense finally settled down at this moment.

Han Ji continued, "You were worrying needlessly. You must know that although the students are acting independently, regardless of which treasure ground it is, there are referees lingering nearby."

Chen Jin merely smiled.

When such a matter befell one's own family elder, how could one not be anxious?

Zhu Meng said with utter incomprehension, "I'm quite curious myself. With his cultivation, how did he manage to seize the treasure and escape?"

Even though Chen Lang possessed destructive power capable of killing commander-level creatures.

Yet that tree demon from just moments ago already belonged to the mid-level commander tier...

This question naturally did not belong to Zhu Meng alone; the several people present all shared it.

Even the spectators in the arena had already started shouting in dissatisfaction!

They could not see any of the exciting scenes, and that was the problem with Venice!!

In fact, the Venice event organizers were also quite helpless. The location where Chen Lang was situated was an area that inherently required contestants from various countries to gather together and then carry out a team raid.

According to their estimates, no matter who it was that saw such a perilous place, they probably wouldn't choose to go there alone, right?

Yet who could have known that Chen Lang would blunder his way there by a twist of fate, and even possess the newborn calf's fearlessness to charge straight into the thick of it?!

Although the world of this Treasure Hunt Competition was pieced together, its entire surface area was actually vastly larger than the city of Venice itself.

Precisely because of this, the Pupil Eagle in that region was extremely scarce...

Chen Lang, situated within it, naturally had no knowledge of the external situation.

At this moment, he had already left this broken lake and headed toward other rifts to search.

The two consecutive treasures made him even more convinced that while this place was fraught with crisis, it also harbored Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that were priceless in the outside world!

As expected of an international joint tournament, a place like this crawling with treasures, which was simultaneously accessible to high-level mages, would never have a second one anywhere in the world.

Chen Lang relied on the Chen Clan behind him, so money was naturally not lacking, yet the reality was that many truly natural treasures were priceless.

Many things could not simply be bought with money, especially certain natural treasures after reaching the high-level realm.

Of course, although the high-level stage was scarce, with a bit of connections, one could still manage to search them out.

Once one reached the super-level, those truly became difficult to forage for.

After all, a super-level mage was capable of founding a prominent family!

Whichever family possessed more super-level mages naturally grasped even more resources.

Under such circumstances, who would be foolish enough to bring out precious resources to sell?

Even though this world required money to accomplish many things, one had to remember how a mage possessing sufficiently formidable strength could possibly lack that bit of scattered silver!

Naturally, wanting to not lack wealth required having a background in the first place.

Much like the contributions Mo Fan made in his original world, if he had possessed a prominent clan background behind him, he completely wouldn't have needed to suffer so bitterly...

From the start of the Treasure Hunt Competition until now, a mere hour had passed, and yet he had successively found two treasures here. Under such circumstances, Chen Lang was naturally reluctant to switch to any other place.

There was a saying that human desires were truly bottomless.

Even though he had already sensed the immense threat therein, he still chose to forge ahead unflinchingly...

The relatively fortunate part was that aside from that tree demon, he had not encountered any powerful commander-level demon beasts afterwards.

When he thought about it, it made sense; if they were as strong as that tree demon, or even stronger than it, what kind of competition could this possibly be?

Although this was a competition, it was likewise a tempering trial for these proud sons of heaven.

To put it bluntly, the international coalitions did not wish for talents like them to wither away just like that.

Correspondingly, because he encountered no stronger demon clan commanders, the resources he found no longer possessed the stunning quality of his initial arrival here.

Even so, devoid of any dazzling items, this bout of looting still netted Chen Lang nearly two billion in resources single-handedly.

Just as he finished off another commander-level creature and continued looking for other prey, arriving at yet another precipice, he suddenly saw several Pupil Eagles hovering high in the distant sky.

Perhaps because he had been located within the dense mountain forest earlier, he had not noticed them.

At this moment, seeing this scene, Chen Lang also whipped his horse to gallop and rushed over toward that direction.

Half a day into entering the venue, it was rare to encounter people!

Robbing other countries directly was far simpler than searching around...

At the forest on the other side of the precipice, the seven members of the Sakura Team were currently jointly battling a Three-Headed Demon Python possessing three heads.

Yet even with seven people, facing the commander-level demon beast before them, they still held no advantage whatsoever.

Every single one of them currently looked battered and covered in dust.

The short and dark Summoning System mage, Tanaka, said with some helplessness, "Captain, this brute is too strong; we simply can't subdue it!"

His pig-bear was already covered in bite and burn marks from one of the python's heads.

Noda Moriki, however, said with a resolute gaze, "The Five-Colored Spirit Stone it guards is definitely the battlefield treasure of this event. If we can get it, we'll have a chance to advance. Don't you realize how important advancing to the top eight is for us?"

Hearing this, Tanaka could only continue biting the bullet and have his pig-bear entangle with the Three-Headed Demon Python before them.

"Silent Thunder Death Ray - Thunder Storm!"

"Rock Demon Eye - Petrification!"

Because of the pig-bear's stalling, the lightning and earth element Sakura mages successively completed the sketching of their star constellations.

"Boom!!"

Yet the damage inflicted by the two people's attacks on the Three-Headed Demon Python was not very strong; one of its heads even launched a counterattack at the very first moment.

"Roar!!!"

From within the bloody maw of the Three-Headed Demon Python, a barrage of sharp stone spikes shot forth!

"Water Curtain Sky!"

"Light Blessing - Painting Wall!"

"Wind Wings - Guard!"

The several other people also successively made their moves to protect them.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

Yet they still underestimated the might of the opponent's demon spell. Almost all defensive skills were pierced through at the very same time, and they tumbled and fell all over the ground under the impact of the rock spikes.

If not for the protection of their magic tools, they would have already faced mortal danger just now...
