The skeleton group left Dark Shadow Island and ventured into the black mist to complete the task assigned by Yi Feng.
"Three Celestial Crystals are only enough for a quick al in the alley, but even a mosquito's leg is at. Besides, this is a task given by our master," Gouzi said.
At this, he couldn't help but glance at Lu Benwei and asked, "Brother, do you resent the master? Do you think he's being stingy or taking advantage of you?"
Under his black robe, Lu Benwei's lips curled slightly.
His usual nonchalance was gone, replaced by an uncharacteristic solemnity.
"I'm willing to let him take advantage of ."
"In fact..."
Lu Benwei raised his head slightly, gazing at the sky as he murmured, "The way things are now, it's mostly because of ."
"So what does it matter if he takes advantage of ?"
"Even if he were to dismantle in the truest sense, so what?"
Lu Benwei's voice was grave, his expression distant, as if recalling sothing from a long, long ti ago.
Gouzi and the others looked at him with admiration.
It was rare to see Lu Benwei like this.
It was also hard to imagine what earth-shattering events had transpired between the master and Lu Benwei in the past.
Not long after, the group arrived at the first marked location on the map: the Floating Corpse Valley.
"This is it. Qing, you guys better get to work quickly!"
Lu Benwei directed Gouzi and the others.
After saying this, Lu Benwei lay down on the spot, while Gouzi and the others began their laborious task.
One by one, they took out their Storage Rings, collecting demon cores like farrs harvesting beans, storing them one after another into the rings.
Soon, the demon cores in the Floating Corpse Valley were all collected, and Lu Benwei led the group to the next location.
"The master was right. This job is really easy, not much work at all," Gouzi couldn't help but say.
Lu Benwei was also pleased.
Such an easy job for three Celestial Crystals was a great deal.
anwhile, as Lu Benwei and his group were collecting the demon cores of the Mondo Beasts, the sect mbers led by the Sky Wall Sect were busy burning the corpses of the two-headed water monsters. 𝖗АŊò𝔟Еs̩
Watching the flas roar and the demon cores reveal themselves, the elders couldn't contain their excitent.
To them, these demon cores represented a vast fortune.
"Everyone, judging by the intensity of the flas, it will likely take another half a day to finish burning. Why don't we head back to the previous three locations and collect the other demon cores first?"
One of the elders said with a smile.
Clearly, they were growing impatient with the prospect of such a massive fortune.
"Agreed, no problem."
"Yes, yes, by the ti we finish collecting the cores from the other locations, the burning here should be done too."
"Then let's head back to the first location and gather the demon cores."
The others were equally enthusiastic, and their spirit boat rose into the air, heading straight for the Floating Corpse Valley.
Originally, their route would have taken them closer to the cremation site of the Molten Giant, but none of them were particularly knowledgeable about demonic creatures. No one knew if the burning would release any harmful gases, so to be safe, heading to the Floating Corpse Valley first was the best option.
The group eagerly made their way to the Floating Corpse Valley, so even holding their Storage Rings ready, their faces brimming with excitent.
But when they arrived, they were stunned.
The valley, once filled with countless demon cores, was now empty.
"How is this possible?"
"They were just here! How could they have disappeared?"
The elders' composure shattered.
The wealth they had thought was within their grasp had vanished, and their anger surged uncontrollably.
"Look, there are traces!"
"Human traces! Soone stole our demon cores!"
One sharp-eyed elder, using the faint light from the spirit boat to disperse the black mist, spotted the scene in the Floating Corpse Valley.
"What?"
"Humans?"
"Who dares to be so bold as to steal our demon cores?"
