Boom-
A towering sword beam struck the ground, cleaving the giant bear in two. With barely any effort, Yue Wen walked out of the Demon Domain with a Starfire Stone.
When choosing the Demon Beasts a few days earlier, Yue Wen had worried that the plan might go wrong, forcing the entire team to split up and race the Luo River Team to find Starfire Stones, so none of the evil spirits placed in the arena's Demon Domains were very strong.
As it turned out, the plan went even more smoothly than he had imagined. Yue Wen never needed any of his contingency plans; he dismantled the Luo River Team with ease.
Had he known it would be this easy, he should have raised the Demon Beasts' strength another two notches. That way, killing them would have earned him more Evil-Suppressing Money.
"Let's go."
After leaving this Demon Domain, Yue Wen immediately headed for the next.
Of the sixteen Demon Domains on the map, the Luo River Team's members had searched five and found two Starfire Stones, but Ning Xiaoyao's stone had been plundered by River City.
Now, the entire River City Team had searched only this one Demon Domain and already held two Starfire Stones. One more would secure victory.
Upon spotting the next Demon Domain Entrance, Yue Wen once again left his teammates outside to keep watch and entered alone to search.
The moment he went in, he saw a mothlike monster as tall as a person flying through the air. Its whole body was grayish white, with two horns on its head and densely packed compound eyes that made his scalp crawl upon closer inspection.
Behind the cluster of rocks where it landed and took off, there was an unmistakable, dazzling pillar of light.
Another Starfire Stone!
