Chapter 468: Contest
Realizing that other demons had already beaten him to it, Wang Hong had no choice but to continue searching on the mountain, hoping to find some clues.
However, he combed through the area inside and out without any success. It was evident from the traces at the scene that this place had obviously been searched several times before.
Just when he was feeling frustrated, several streaks of light flew in from the distance and landed on the mountaintop, revealing the forms of a dragon, a crocodile, and a toad.
"Who are you, you demonic creatures? Quickly hand over the treasure you found here!" the Demon Crocodile shouted loudly upon seeing that Wang Hong was alone and seemed like an easy target.
They could also see that, given the current situation at the scene, at best, one could find some clues. Finding any actual treasure here was almost impossible. But as long as they could win in a fight, they would fight first and worry about the rest later.
"Fellow Daoist, do you think there's still treasure to be found here? I'm just here to investigate," Wang Hong explained, not wanting to engage in pointless conflict.
"How do I know if that divine wood has already fallen into your hands? Hand over the Storage Bag, and let us check it," the Demon Crocodile clearly had no intention of letting Wang Hong go.
While speaking, the three Demonic Beasts approached Wang Hong from three different directions, seemingly to prevent him from escaping.
Since the conversation had reached this point, Wang Hong didn't want to be verbose with them. He immediately took out a Storage Bag and tossed it towards the Demon Crocodile.
The Demon Crocodile caught the Storage Bag with its claw, and at that moment, a strange fragrance wafted from it, putting it in a bit of a trance, as if it had entered a hallucination.
"Be careful!"
"Be careful!"
The other two Demonic Beasts simultaneously exclaimed. They both saw that Wang Hong had already accelerated towards the Demon Crocodile while it was still in a daze. However, they were too late to assist.
Wang Hong had already reached the Demon Crocodile, and a Long Spear appeared in his hand.
The Demon Crocodile, after all, was a third-tier Demonic Beast, and the poison of the Red Powder Skull Flower had a diminishing effect on it. Upon hearing the warning, it quickly snapped out of its daze.
At this moment, the Demon Crocodile saw a Long Spear rapidly enlarging in front of it. It had no time to dodge, and it felt a sharp pain in its head before losing consciousness.
"Fellow Daoist, isn't that a bit too ruthless?" After Wang Hong had slain the Demon Crocodile, the Demon Dragon and the toad had approached him.
"What's the matter? Do you want to avenge it? Before you die, I don't mind fighting another round," Wang Hong looked at the two Demonic Beasts with disdain.
"Since Fellow Daoist Demon Crocodile has perished, although we are deeply saddened, it was destined to happen to him. What can we do?" the toad changed its tone. While the three Demonic Beasts had some camaraderie, it wasn't to the extent that they would risk their own lives for each other.
Wang Hong and the Giant Toad also understood each other well. Without saying a word, they each chose different directions and flew ahead.
Their temporary alliance of three demons had now come to an end, and the upcoming contest would be a fight for life and death.
When Wang Hong flew closer, he didn't immediately join the fray. Instead, he landed on the crown of a large tree, intending to observe for a moment.
Many other Demonic Beasts had the same idea, scattered around the battlefield, prepared to intervene at any moment.
At this point, the sky had turned into a chaotic battleground. As a newcomer, Wang Hong had no idea who possessed the treasure.
After observing for a while, he began to discern some clues. Although the aerial battle seemed chaotic, he could vaguely tell that there were five Demonic Beasts working together, and the treasure was likely in their possession.
One three-eyed Demonic Beast was receiving the most attacks. Wang Hong speculated that the treasure should be with this Demonic Beast.
The dozens of other Demonic Beasts, while occasionally attacking each other and scheming behind the scenes, were mainly focused on the five Demonic Beasts.
Shortly after Wang Hong analyzed the situation, the three-eyed Demonic Beast let out a miserable scream and was torn into two.
At this moment, including its allies, all the Demonic Beasts swarmed around it. After a while, one Demonic Beast managed to break free from the crowd and quickly flew in a direction.
"Stop it! The treasure is with it!"
"Capture it! Don't let it escape!"
The remaining Demonic Beasts chased after it from behind.
At that moment, two Yao Leopards flew out from the thickets and landed in front of the fleeing Demonic Beast.
Without a word, the two Yao Leopards simultaneously attacked the fleeing Demonic Beast.
With four claws, the two Yao Leopards tore the fleeing Demonic Beast to pieces in an instant.
Unfortunately, the Demonic Beast had snatched the treasure but didn't have a chance to take a closer look before meeting its demise.
