After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Chapter 191 166. Kill the Epic Demon Creature, Material Distribution! (Large Chapter)_3

Abner's swift strike cleaved it in two, right through the middle.

The massive Red Armored Crab King was dead,

but everyone held their breaths, focused intently, not daring to be careless.

According to Lin Da, the Thousand-Change Demon would hide inside, using the corpse of the Red Armored Crab King to deceive everyone.

It would seize the chaos to execute its "Golden Cicada Shedding" maneuver.

Abner used "Mind's Eye" to perceive his surroundings.

His spiritual power spread out like a vast spider web, capable of capturing even the movements of the air.

"Here."

Suddenly, Abner opened his eyes.

His pupils were a beautiful deep blue, like gems filled with clear lake water.

In the reflection of his eyes, there was a bat-shaped shadow.

This strange Magical Creature, moving close to the ground, had a color similar to the murky earth, and coupled with its special ability to hide...

If it weren't for Abner's "Mind's Eye," it would have been very difficult to find it.

The Thousand-Change Demon truly existed.

Abner's emotions, slightly stirred.

Shadowless Warrior, level 20 Ultimate Skill: "Traceless."

The katana in Abner's hands slashed out, a blade light invisible to the eye, piercing through the body of the Thousand-Change Demon.

"Woooooah!"

A sharp scream erupted suddenly.

Now, everyone had located the position of the Thousand-Change Demon.

Since the massive Red Armored Crab King had been slain, the Thousand-Change Demon didn't have much health left.

Although it was an Epic Demon Creature, the Thousand-Change Demon was renowned for trickery, and its frontline combat ability was the weakest among those of its level.

The twenty or so Star-ranked adventurers pressed forward to greet it.

There was a flurry of punches and kicks.

The bat-like Thousand-Change Demon, one meter in length, died a humiliating death.

"We won!"

While everyone cheered, they also realized that this Thousand-Change Demon had a high status among Magical Creatures and was sure to be full of treasures.

Capable of devouring the Red Armored Crab King to camouflage itself... According to Lin Da, had the Thousand-Change Demon successfully triggered its innate ability "Resurgence," it would have completely returned to its prime state.

The difficulty level of subduing this Magical Creature was, in fact, extremely high.

Their apparent easy victory was thanks to Lin Da's intervention halfway through, providing them with pivotal information.

Otherwise... there was the potential for complete annihilation!

The materials from such a hard-to-subdue Magical Creature were bound to be highly valuable.

Members from both adventure teams were active-minded, their eyes burning hotly as they stared at the corpse of the Thousand-Change Demon.

If the Thousand-Change Demon's intestines contained feces, they would probably scramble over it as well.

The feces of an Epic Demon Creature were also extremely valuable!

Gale took out a booklet from his Space Ring, flipped through it for a while, then smiled and said:

"Found it, found it, High-Level Magical Creatures Compendium, page 271, Thousand-Change Demon, level 30-39, Epic Demon Creature, materials are as follows:

The skin, a Rare Orange Level material. Can be used to craft Soft armor or create magic items for invisibility.

The teeth, also a Rare Orange Level material, can be used to create four orange accessories.

The claws, the same, can be ground into powder and added to sharpness-enhancing weapons to increase power.

And finally... the Demon Core.

The Thousand-Change Demon's Demon Core is one of the core materials for crafting Epic Level Soft Armor, 'Dragon Demon Soft Armor'!"

As Gale mentioned each material, everyone's eyes brightened, pondering how to distribute them, wondering if their team leader would allocate one to them.

The first three items were easier to divide; they could simply be shared equally between the teams.

But the most precious part of the Thousand-Change Demon, the Demon Core from which Epic Level Soft Armor could be crafted, there was only one.

The atmosphere between the two adventure teams suddenly turned tense.

All the team members were unwilling to give up that single Epic Level Demon Core!

The two team leaders, however, appeared quite calm.

It seemed they had already made a decision on how to distribute the Demon Core.

Dawen drew his sword.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

The Thousand-Change Demon was chopped into even halves.

"You choose, which side do you want?" Dawen declared with generous indifference, waving his hand dismissively.

Abner said, "Doesn't matter."

The Scarlet Adventure Group was generous, so the White Dove couldn't show any less magnanimity.

Afterward, all the members' gazes turned toward the Demon Core.

"Where's Lin Da?" suddenly asked Abner.

At that point, everyone came back to their senses, having been preoccupied with collecting the spoils of battle, forgetting that an Apprentice Adventure Team captain was present here.

Even though he was an apprentice... everyone had to admit, without Lin Da, let alone subduing the Thousand-Change Demon, they might have met their doom right here on Breeze River Beach.

Abner raising Lin Da's name at this moment had a very clear intention.

The deputy leader Jite, usually arrogant and unrestrained, nodded slightly at this moment: "Indeed, we could give it to him." Your journey continues at empire

Gale shrugged, "You know, Lin Da and I are good friends. Don't ask for my opinion, I don't want to be accused of bias."

Everyone from the White Dove Adventure Group agreed.

Since the Phoenix Tail Flower was an adventure team from White Dove City to begin with, giving them the Demon Core was akin to strengthening the overall combat capability.

In the grand scheme of things, it was like the left hand passing something to the right, not much of a difference.

But how would the Scarlet Adventure Group see it?

White Dove City, Red Heart City, and South Rock City maintained a tripartite balance of power.

Competing against each other in the Great Mystery Continent, occasionally engaging in challenges, invading each other's resource areas, was a common occurrence.

The empire also encouraged competition; only then would adventurers become stronger more swiftly.

These 'challenges' meant to hone combat skills often escalated into real fights.

The adventurers from the three cities were not enemies, but they were certainly not friends either.

"I disagree," said the Scarlet Adventure Group's commander, a blonde braided female scholar holding a book, speaking coldly:

"Giving the Epic level Demon Core to that level 19 adventurer would be a complete waste. Only Lord Dawen can bring out its full potential."

"Lina, shut up," Dawen promptly tapped Lina on the head with the hilt of his sword and, with a calm demeanor despite the puzzled looks of his team members, said: "I owe Lin Da a favor from the time in Red Heart City."

"It's time to repay that debt."

"The Thousand-Change Demon's Demon Core, the Scarlet Adventure Group agrees to hand it over to Lin Da."
