Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 295: Chapter 223: Divine Level Demon Spirit

Regarding the bald man’s proposal, about thirty to forty people agreed, but Lin Feng noticed they were mostly adventurers.

More than half of them stood not far from the bald man, and it’s likely they knew each other, possibly even being part of the same team.

The other half consisted of some loners or small groups of two to three people, generally not very strong.

In the Jade Seal Spatial Gate, even teams of eight cannot guarantee absolute safety, let alone these people. Without a team, it’s undoubtedly very dangerous, so they need protection.

Some of them dared to enter the Jade Seal, hoping to take advantage of the chaos and try their luck.

If they encounter danger, they plan to quickly escape and leave the Space Gate.

So, naturally, they expressed their agreement with the bald man’s proposal one after another.

”Since we are a team, we naturally need a leader. Otherwise, we are just loose sand. I, Tian Bo, am not particularly talented. At over forty years old, I have reached the peak of the Divine Fist Realm, refined an advanced Demon Spirit, and absorbed six soul skills. Compared to the pride of major universities, I am nothing, but having adventured in the Otherworld for thirty years, I am experienced. I won’t be modest, and I volunteer to become the leader this time.”

Wanting to be the boss, you look at strength, with no need for beating around the bush or politeness. This bald man who calls himself Tian Bo is very direct.

No one is a fool, let alone these adventurers, even those still in college or recent graduates from various battle teams are seasoned, each having a few lives on their hands. If they were truly foolish, they would have died long ago and not lived to this day.

”With Brother Tian’s strength, I support it!”

”Brother Tian is experienced and will surely lead us safely to Jade Seal City.”

A few people who seemed like underlings said.

Even though they knew these people agreeing were shills, many still joined.

However, members of the various battle teams did not express their stance. As geniuses, they are somewhat prideful. Although the bald man’s strength reached the peak of the Divine Fist Realm and absorbed six soul skills, surpassing any of their levels with more soul skills, strength does not equate to combat power.

Every battle team captain has strength superior to the bald man.

Like Yun Kai’s refinement of the Golden Lion King, even with only Fifth Grade Martial Arts and four soul skills absorbed, he is stronger than the bald man due to the Demon Spirit’s advantage.

Therefore, regarding his suggestion to be the boss, members of various battle teams showed faint disdain. The bald man clearly noticed this, but he was not angry, it was expected.

He mainly wanted to draw in some loners and small teams. Shortly after, as people joined, his team grew to ninety people.

This time among the adventurers entering, more than half joined his team.

Meanwhile, none of the thirteen battle teams joined, observing coldly but not stopping them.

After all, everyone has the same objective, and in this dangerous space, they have a common enemy.

The three hundred strong force was divided into three columns heading towards the destination.

The first column was teams formed by each adventurer, split into ten small teams, each quite strong and cooperating well.

The second column was the team led by the bald man, Tian Bo.

The third column consisted of the thirteen battle teams from various universities.

”The bald man knows how to arrange things,” Huang Tianze said, approaching with a smile as the Demon Star Team advanced close to the Red Cloud Team.

The second column is in the middle, surrounded on both sides, making it undoubtedly the safest, without the threat of an alien race’s sneak attack.

Everyone knows and desires this position, but the bald man, being a bit cunning and shameless, seized it.

”It’s okay.”

Lin Feng smiled, not minding the bald man’s behavior; everyone has their own little thoughts, which is normal.

”The alien race just issued a warning, and we witnessed a parasitic soul skill upon arriving. This situation is rare, suggesting a genius of the alien race is among them. We must be very cautious along the way.”

Huang Tianze reminded, and Lin Feng nodded.

Soon, the team entered the forest.

Faced with this large group, some powerful Demon Beasts had intelligence and knew better to avoid trouble, seeking opportunities and avoiding risks, while a few brainless Demon Beasts attacked recklessly, only to be quickly slain.

Everything went smoothly at first, but as the team delved deeper, accidents still happened.

”Ah!”

Someone screamed in agony.

”What happened?”

”Fell into a trap, two are dead, and another has a broken thigh bone, basically crippled.”

”There are traps everywhere, everyone be careful.”

Soon, the news spread, but Lin Feng and his group didn’t go to watch the commotion.

As the Assassin, Yu Qiao was scouting ahead.

Within an hour’s journey, seven people died — some fell into traps, while others accidentally brushed past branches and trunks, getting poisoned deadly.

This poison is very insidious, causing no sensation, pain, or abnormalities when infected, and by the time the poison spreads, it’s too late.

The team also included several who refined Poison Series Demon Spirits, yet faced with this poison, they were helpless.

Out of the seven who died, five belonged to the bald man’s team.

The other two were from the first column of adventurer teams.

Though some in the various battle groups were injured, due to their seamless cooperation, no one died.

The atmosphere at this moment was a bit heavy.

This was just the beginning, and already eight people were dead combined, with five injured. Without a Therapist, they probably wouldn’t survive either.
