Chapter 469: Success
Two Demonic Leopards found three Storage Bags on the corpse of a demon and didn't waste any time examining them closely. They simply embraced the bags and ran for it.
Soon, the other Demonic Beasts chased after them, with Wang Hong naturally following suit.
Given the current situation, anyone who acquired treasure immediately became the target of everyone's envy.
Faced with the encirclement of so many Demonic Beasts of the same tier, no one was confident of surviving, but no one was willing to give up the treasure willingly either.
The Demonic Leopard that had run a short distance found itself surrounded by a large group of Demonic Beasts once more, with no way to escape.
These two Demonic Leopards were quite clever. At this moment, being surrounded by countless Demonic Beasts and seeing no hope of escape, one of them took out the three Storage Bags they had just grabbed.
"Fellow Daoists, please hold your hands. We can talk this out, and I'm willing to hand over the treasure."
Then, it began searching through the three Storage Bags. Eventually, it took out a Jade Box.
In front of all the Demonic Beasts, it opened the Jade Box for everyone to see.
Inside the Jade Box lay a piece of red branch, dull in appearance, roughly the thickness of a human finger and a little over five inches long.
Although many Demonic Beasts had participated in the chase for days, killing countless demons, most of them had not had the opportunity to witness the true form of the Fusang Divine Wood.
At this moment, disappointment appeared on the faces of many Demonic Beasts.
They had heard about the Fusang Divine Wood and rushed here to fight over it, but now that they saw this small piece of branch, what use could it be?
It was too short to make chopsticks, and too thick to be a toothpick. At most, it could be refined into a nail.
Suddenly, many Demonic Beasts felt that it wasn't worth it for the Demons who had died trying to obtain the treasure. If they had known it was just this tiny piece of branch, would they still have been willing to sacrifice their lives?
Of course, many Demonic Beasts had no intention of giving up. After all, even if they could only refine it into an embroidery needle, it was still made of divine wood, and its power would be extraordinary.
"Is it fake? Can the branches of the Fusang Divine Wood look so ordinary?" questioned one of the Demonic Beasts.
Indeed, after this remark, doubts arose among the others, and their gazes towards the Demonic Leopard turned unfriendly once again.
"Fellow Daoists, this is the only item in branch form among these, so let me demonstrate it for everyone."
Meanwhile, among the pursuing Demonic Beasts, it appeared as if the lizard had stored the treasure in its Storage Bag.
Because collecting items in a Storage Bag only required contact with the item, and everyone had seen the lizard extend its claw, they assumed it had put the Jade Box in its Storage Bag.
The lizard was still trying to figure out the whereabouts of the Jade Box when its companion, who had earlier hurled the Jade Box, became anxious.
"Quick, run!"
Hearing its companion's shout, the lizard, although it hadn't found the Jade Box, didn't think twice and ran. This was the result of the long-standing understanding and trust between the two Demonic Beasts. It believed that its companion should be able to handle the situation.
Unfortunately, the Demonic Beast hesitated for a moment earlier, and now it was a bit late to flee.
Countless attacks rained down on the Demonic Beast, instantly tearing it into several pieces.
One Demonic Beast was fortunate, and a piece of the corpse fell right in front of it, with the lizard's Storage Bag still attached.
This Demonic Beast was overjoyed and quickly removed the Storage Bag before fleeing with it.
It had just witnessed the lizard putting the Jade Box into the Storage Bag, gaining a huge advantage. So, it couldn't afford to wait any longer.
Wang Hong had been observing from the sidelines all along. He dared not join the battle, as his current status would undoubtedly be exposed if he did.
If the Demon Clan discovered a Human Clan member among them, they would likely not spare him. Faced with the siege of so many third-tier Demonic Beasts, he didn't believe he could survive.
So, he would absolutely not step forward to compete.
Wang Hong had always released his Divine Sense, observing every aspect of the battlefield.
Just now, the Jade Box had flown out of the area where the demons were fighting and towards the lizard.
Seeing this opportune moment, Wang Hong naturally didn't let it slip by. His Divine Sense had been closely tracking the Jade Box.
Just as it was about to make contact with the lizard demon, he directly pulled it into his own space.
While others needed physical contact or close proximity to collect items, his space allowed him to collect items with just the reach of his Divine Sense, free from interference by others' Divine Sense.
