His figure transformed into lightning, tracing a zigzag path through the air.
In the blink of an eye, they teleported behind the giant red-armored crab king, and then a bolt of lightning as thick as a thigh struck the monster.
-!
Next up is 'Shadowless Warrior' Eberna, with his level 30 ultimate skill, [Flash].
After the sword was drawn, all anyone could see was a chilling flash of light.
-!
These two alone dealt nearly 200,000 damage.
The giant red-armored crab king was first scorched by lightning, and its shell softened.
It was then cleaved in two horizontally by Eberna's flash.
The giant red-armored crab king is dead.
But everyone held their breath and dared not be careless.
According to Linda, the Thousand-Faced Demon is hiding inside, using the corpse of the Red-Armored Crab King to deceive everyone.
Taking advantage of the chaos, they escaped unscathed.
Ebernar perceives his surroundings with his 'mind's eye'.
The mental energy transformed into a giant spider web, capable of capturing even the movement of air.
"here."
Suddenly, Abner opened his eyes.
His pupils were a beautiful azure, like a gemstone filled with clear lake water.
In the reflection of the eyes, there was a black bat silhouette.
This eerie creature moved close to the ground, its color closely resembling the dark, muddy soil, and it possessed exceptional stealth abilities...
If Ebernar hadn't possessed a keen eye, it would have been difficult for him to discover the other party.
The Thousand-Faced Demon actually exists.
Eberna's mood fluctuated slightly.
Shadowless Warrior, Level 20 Ultimate Skill: [Traceless].
As Abner swung his katana, an invisible blade of light pierced through the body of the Thousand-Faced Demon.
"Ughhhhh!"
A sharp, agonizing scream suddenly erupted.
Now, everyone has found the location of the Thousand-Faced Demon.
With the giant red-armored crab king destroyed, the Thousand-Faced Demon itself also had very little health left.
Although it is an epic-level monster, the Thousand-Faced Demon's strength lies in its unpredictability; in terms of direct combat power, it is among the weakest of the epic-level monsters.
About twenty star-ranked adventurers stepped forward to greet them.
A flurry of blows followed, and he got a good beating.
The Thousand-Faced Demon, shaped like a bat and a meter long, died in humiliation.
We won!
As everyone cheered, they also realized that this Thousand-Faced Demon was of a high rank among demons and must be full of treasures.
It can devour the Red-Armored Crab King and disguise itself... According to Linda, if the Thousand-Faced Demon successfully triggers its talent ability [Resurrection], it will directly return to its peak state.
This monster is actually very difficult to defeat.
Their seemingly easy victory was largely due to Linda's intervention and the valuable information she brought along.
Otherwise... there's a possibility of total annihilation!
The materials from a monster that is so difficult to defeat must be extremely valuable.
The members of both adventure teams were all very interested, their eyes burning with desire as they stared at the corpse of the Thousand-Faced Demon.
If the Thousand-Faced Demon had poop in its intestines, everyone would probably fight over it.
The excrement of epic-level monsters is also extremely valuable!
Gail took out a small booklet from her spatial ring, flipped through it for a while, and smiled:
"Found it! The Complete Guide to High-Level Monsters, page 271, the Thousand-Faced Demon, level 30-39, an epic-level monster, with the following materials on its body: "
Skin, a rare orange-grade material. It can be used to craft soft armor or create magical items for invisibility.
Teeth, a rare orange material, can be used to craft four pieces of orange jewelry.
Claws, as above, can also be ground up and added to sharp weapons to increase power.
Finally... the magic core.
The Thousand-Faced Demon's core is one of the key materials for crafting the epic-grade soft armor, the [Dragon Demon Soft Armor]!
Every time Gale named a material, everyone's eyes lit up as they wondered how to distribute it and whether their leader would give them one.
The first three items are relatively easy to divide; just split them in half.
But the most precious thing about the Thousand-Faced Demon is its magic core, which can be used to forge epic-level soft armor; it only has one.
The atmosphere between the two adventure teams immediately became tense!
The team members didn't want to give up on this epic magic core!
The two regimental commanders, however, remained quite calm.
It seems that the allocation of this magic core was already decided long ago.
Daven drew his sword.
Swish, swish, swish.
The Thousand-Faced Demon was cut into two even halves.
"You can choose whichever you want," Davin said with an air of nonchalance, waving his hand dismissively.
Eberner said, "Whatever."
The Crimson Adventurers were generous, and the White Doves couldn't afford to be outdone.
After that, all the members turned their attention to the magic core.
"Where's Linda?" Abner suddenly asked.
Only then did everyone come to their senses, having been so focused on collecting the spoils that they had forgotten there was a trainee adventure team leader present.
Despite being an apprentice... everyone had to admit that without Linda, let alone defeating the Thousand-Faced Demon, they might even capsize in a ditch and lose their lives on the banks of the Clear Breeze River.
Eberna's intention in mentioning Linda's name at this time was quite clear.
The vice-captain, Kit, who was always arrogant and unruly, nodded slightly at this moment: "It can indeed be given to him."
Gail shrugged: "You know, Linda and I are good friends. Don't ask for my opinion, or you'll say I'm biased."
The entire White Dove Adventure Team agreed.
The Phoenix Flower team is an adventure team from White Dove City. Giving them the magic core will enhance their overall combat strength.
In a broader sense, it's like handing something from the left hand to the right; there's no difference.
But what will the Crimson Adventurers think?
White Dove City, Red Peach City, and South Rock City form a three-way balance of power.
Competing against each other in Greater Rifts, engaging in occasional sparring, and invading each other's resource zones are commonplace.
The empire also encourages competition, as this is the only way for adventurers to grow stronger faster.
However, these 'sparring' sessions to hone combat skills often escalate into real fights.
The adventurers from the three cities can't be called enemies, but they're definitely not friends either.
I disagree.
The leader of the Crimson Adventurers, a blonde woman with braided hair and an academic profession, holding a book, said in a cold voice:
"Giving an epic-level magic core to that level 19 adventurer is a complete waste. Only Lord Davin can make the most of it."
"Li Na, shut up."
Davin tapped Linda's head with the hilt of his sword, and calmly said to the puzzled looks of his teammates, "Back in Red Peach City, I owed Linda a favor."
"It's time to return it."
"The Crimson Adventurers have agreed to hand over the Demon Core of the Thousand-Faced Demon to Linda."
