Half a year later, the top-notch Beast Spirit Treasure in Shen Ping’s hand, the Primordial Chaos Spear, emitted layers of blood-colored light in the secret passage. A large number of special bugs that were like fireflies touched the blood-colored light and turned into dust like moths to a flame.

He took away the dazzling beast blood crystal.

Yin Ting, who was beside him, could not help but laugh. “It’s the fifteenth one. There are indeed more beast blood essences in the central area than in the dark area. In just half a year, we’ve obtained ten. At this speed, we might be able to obtain more than a hundred in the remaining time.”

Her cold and beautiful eyes were filled with anticipation. The effect of the beast blood essence was much stronger than the beast blood heavenly spirit liquid.

If he could have a hundred of them, he would probably be able to easily comprehend them to the scale armor level. Now, the strongest among all the beast spirit geniuses was only at the scale armor level.

“Thank you for your kind words. Let’s keep trying.” Shen Ping put away the Primordial Chaos Spear and continued forward with Yin Ting. Although the number of insects near the beast blood crystal in the central area had increased greatly and its defense had been strengthened, he and Yin Ting had grasped the first blood light of the Primordial Chaos Spear during the search in the past half a year. With this powerful form power, it was not a problem no matter how many insects there were.

Twenty.

Twenty-five.

Forty… In the three years since they came to the palace cave world, the two of them had obtained 40 essences of beast blood. This harvest was more than the combined gains of the prodigies of the Devil Clan, the Flame Clan, and other races. This was also because his detection range was limited. If the Pupil of Sea Beast could envelop the entire cave, Shen Ping would obtain even more essences of beast blood.

In the central area, the Spirit Race’s prodigy team had only obtained four beast blood essences in three years, and they had also lost more than ten prodigies. This was already a considerable loss for the Spirit Race. There was no choice. There were too many insects in the central area, and they could not kill them with the third form of high-grade beast spirit treasures immediately. Even if more than ten people in the team attacked together, it would be difficult to kill them all, so losses were inevitable.

However, the Spirit Race’s prodigies were quite satisfied with four, especially the stronger ones. This meant that they could also obtain beast blood essence and not just Ling Hao.

“Be careful! If we encounter the essence of beast blood again, we can’t be careless at all.”

“Look ahead, it’s beast blood essence. Three, a total of three!!”

The Spirit Race team that had lost two ordinary geniuses was excited after entering a secret passage. They did not expect to see three!

“Wait, there will probably be more insects around the three beast blood essences. With our team’s strength, we might all die here. It’s better to inform Ling Hao and the others immediately!”

“T-These are three. If we inform Ling Hao, even if we obtain them in the end, we won’t get a share!”

“That’s right. The essence of the beast’s blood is a natural oddity. We’re only inferior to Ling Hao in terms of comprehension. If we have the essence of the beast’s blood, we might be able to reach his level. We might even be able to become the Venerable Sovereign’s disciple!”

Hearing the last sentence, the temporary captain of the team was tempted. He gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, let’s give it a try, but let’s make it clear first. If there’s any danger, we have to inform Ling Hao immediately!”

Therefore, the thirteen prodigies prepared themselves as if they were facing a great enemy. They set up immortal formations, puppets, defensive beast spiritual treasures, and other methods. Although these things could not cause any harm to the insects, they could delay them for a while. As long as they had a few more breaths, they could activate the power of the third form of the high-level beast spiritual treasure to kill all the insects that pounced over.

“Go!”

The Spirit Race was not good at immortal arts, and they did not have much research on puppets. However, they had immortal puppets on them. They were just cruder than the humans, and they did not help their combat strength much.

As the three beast blood essences moved, the surface of the nearby secret passage instantly flickered and lit up, covering an area of dozens of feet.

The thirteen prodigies’ faces immediately turned pale.

It had to be known that all probing methods such as divine sense and magic power were useless in the secret passage. Even if an immortal puppet touched a bug, it would instantly be devoured until there was nothing left. They could only kill it to take away the essence of the beast’s blood. This required them to take it up close. For example, the bug they had encountered previously only had a radius of dozens of feet. They had guessed that there would be more bugs, but they had not expected there to be so many.

“Run!”

There was no hesitation. The thirteen prodigies fled at the fastest speed in their lives. At the same time, they immediately sent a message to the strongest prodigy of the Spirit Race, Ling Hao.

They reacted very quickly, but the narrow and winding passage affected their speed. The insects were not affected at all. Soon, it caught up to the three behind. The three of them struggled for a moment and turned into blood.

However, their deaths still bought some time for the rest. After escaping, the remaining ten prodigies returned to the main passageway and looked at the secret passage in front of them with lingering fear. These insects were really too terrifying.

“Let’s wait for Ling Hao to come over.” The temporary captain said helplessly.

The moment the Spirit Race’s Ling Hao took away the three Beast Blood Crystals, the maps of all the Beast Spirit geniuses changed. Five more secret tunnels appeared on the map at the back of the rankings, and ten more secret tunnels appeared on the maps of the top 100. Twenty more secret tunnels appeared on the top ten. These secret tunnels were all located in the fork of the main passageway.

Yin Ting noticed the change in the map and hurriedly reminded Shen Ping. After looking at the map, these forks were a little far from where the two of them were. During this period, they had to take five to six forks and it would take more than half a year to reach..
