Chapter 188 Internal Strife Among the Demon Clan
Chapter 188 Internal Strife Among the Demon Clan
Meanwhile, the demons outside the cave were extremely anxious as they watched Chen Wan'er and her group go inside without making any further moves.
They knew in their hearts that it was not impossible for the four Golden Core cultivators to snatch the treasure first.
Just as everyone was getting anxious, a burly, powerful demon, exuding a strong aura of blood, shouted loudly towards the direction of the snake clan:
"Shouldn't we go in too?"
"If those brats snatch the treasure, all our efforts will have been for nothing!"
Upon hearing this, the other demons all nodded in agreement.
The five Nascent Soul stage experts from the snake clan exchanged glances, and after weighing their options, decided to heed everyone's opinion.
Therefore, the team was led by three Nascent Soul stage experts at the front, with two Nascent Soul stage experts at the rear.
A group of demons cautiously made their way into the cave.
At first, everyone walked with extreme caution, each step filled with vigilance.
However, after venturing some distance into the cave, they found that they had not encountered any danger.
As the crowd's vigilance gradually relaxed, they became increasingly anxious.
After all, no one knows what kind of rare treasures are hidden in the cave.
If someone else snatches it first, then all your efforts will be in vain.
At this moment, a mischievous demon with a pointed snout and monkey-like face had a sudden inspiration and loudly suggested:
"In my opinion, there should be no danger in this cave now."
"Why don't we split up into several groups? That would greatly increase our chances of finding the treasure!"
This proposal was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples among the crowd, with the vast majority of demons expressing their agreement.
After all, everyone comes to Wuwang Mountain to search for treasure.
With so many people crammed together, even if they find the treasure, they might still end up fighting.
Since conflict is inevitable, it's better to split up now and each seek their own opportunities.
The snake clan initially disagreed with this plan, as they were well aware of the risks of dispersing their forces.
However, since everyone agreed, and with the insistence of many demons, the snake clan had no choice but to compromise in the end.
Therefore, the snake clan's forces were divided into three groups.
They thought that this way, at least their own clan would have a greater chance of finding the treasure first; otherwise, they would have truly been doing all the work for other demon clans.
As the teams separated, they continued to venture deeper into the cave.
However, the snake clan soon noticed something was amiss.
Since they split into three teams, the other two teams have vanished without a trace and have never been able to make contact again.
Now, the snake clan has only this last team left, which is also the strongest team.
Just as they were trying to contact the other two teams, other demon race members suddenly appeared ahead.
Before they could react, the other side launched an attack without saying a word.
A Nascent Soul stage expert from the snake clan, while fiercely defending, shouted angrily:
"Hey, are you guys crazy? Didn't we agree to split up and search for treasure?"
How could they attack their own people here!
The group of demons who had ambushed them across the way revealed a disdainful smile upon hearing this, and mocked:
"Our own people? Your 'own people' are probably all dead by now!"
"What do you mean by that?" the snake clan expert asked sharply, his face full of doubt.
"Hmph, that's just the literal meaning! Can you even contact them now?"
To tell you the truth, we had already joined forces before we even entered the cave.
Your snake clan has five Nascent Soul stage experts; we are indeed no match for them.
But who would have thought that you would willingly disperse your forces in your search for treasure? Isn't that just courting death?!
Upon hearing this, the snake demons froze on the spot, as if struck by lightning.
Another demon cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, his face filled with disbelief, asked in a trembling voice:
"Were the six demons who first went into the cave to scout ahead also part of your group?"
Upon hearing the mention of those six demons, a hint of resentment flashed in the eyes of the demon opposite.
Especially when he thought of that little demon in the Foundation Establishment stage, he gritted his teeth in hatred:
"Them? They're not qualified to join us."
"Once we deal with your snake clan, everyone coming to this cave to search for treasure will be ours."
Upon hearing this, the two Nascent Soul experts from the Serpent Clan immediately sensed that something terrible had happened; they had clearly fallen into a trap carefully set by someone else.
The two exchanged a glance, understood each other, and decided to break out of the encirclement.
Regardless, we must at least spread the word about what happened here so that the clan can be on guard.
If Chen Wan'er were present at this moment, she probably wouldn't be able to resist recommending the supernatural power to them.
They must be thinking to themselves: See? When it matters most, we can't get in touch, and important messages can't be delivered. It's so worrying.
However, their intention to escape had already been anticipated by the demon race on the other side.
The demons opposite them stared intently at the two Nascent Soul experts and launched an attack.
After all, in their eyes, the other disciples of the snake clan were not worth mentioning at all.
No one expected that the Nascent Soul expert who launched the first attack from the snake clan would become extremely anxious when he saw that the two could not escape at the same time.
He quickly glanced at his companion beside him, signaling with his eyes that the other should leave immediately.
The next second, he chose to self-destruct without hesitation, sacrificing his own life to buy time for his companions to escape.
The self-destruction of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator was terrifyingly powerful.
The entire cave trembled violently under the impact of this powerful energy.
Everyone and everything in the cave, including the demons, was stunned and at a loss by the sudden loud noise and powerful impact.
Upon hearing the loud noise, Chen Wan'er couldn't help but mutter to herself:
"It's just a treasure hunt, why go to such lengths?"
Upon hearing her words, the other five people in the group all turned their gazes to the Ghost Blood Vine sitting beneath her.
A sense of helplessness welled up in my heart: Is my junior sister being too caught up in the situation to see things clearly?
Wasn't she the one who played the biggest game?
"Manman, judging from the strength of your demon race, what level of cultivation did the demon that caused such a huge explosion have?"
Chen Wan'er turned to Manman and asked.
"Sister Chen, someone who can cause such a commotion must be at least at the Nascent Soul stage."
Manman answered seriously.
Chen Wan'er nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that the group of demons outside had started fighting amongst themselves.
However, she quickly put the matter out of her mind, since it was none of their business anyway.
"Xiao Teng, where exactly is this treasure you're talking about?"
Chen Wan'er patted the Ghost Blood Vine and asked.
The Ghost Blood Vine stretched out a tendril and pointed in one direction.
He then continued to leisurely suck Chen Wan'er's blood.
It secretly marveled at how powerful its master was.
She's been using drugs for so long, yet she acts like nothing's wrong.
Thinking back to the demons he had previously consumed, they were simply too weak.
Sucking dry won't fill you up at all; it's completely useless.
Led by the Ghost Blood Vine, Chen Wan'er and her group soon arrived at another treasure trove.
Previously, guided by the Ghost Blood Vine, they had already found several treasures.
