“Lt’s go! Let’s go! Let’s hold hands. Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s go traveling.”After escaping from the stinger demon bees, Draken and the others slowed down. After all, if they kept running, they would make a lot of noise and attract unnecessary trouble.Draken was in a good mood and even started to sing a nursery rhyme.He had collected a total of thirty-five stinger demon bees ‘stingers. According to the market price, he could sell them for about thirty-five thousand dollars.A single stinger could only be used to create one special arrow with deadly poison. The stinger itself could be sold for 1000 dollars.This price was not exaggerated. Although the toxicity of this poisonous thorn may not have much effect on some higher-level demon beasts or demons, it would still have a little effect.At a critical moment, it could turn defeat into victory because of this little effect. Therefore, this thing never lacked a market.In other words, there was no lack of market for any materials, p

"Are there candidates nearby? And are they still alive?" The director's astonishment was palpable.Though the Myriad Beast Mountain teemed with examinees and a plethora of missing patrolling martial artists, most were only at the pulsing realm level. Despite their prowess, they were no match for the numerous level nine Martial Apprentices among the dead demonic beasts and demons littering the terrain.While the patrolling martial artists might have had the upper hand in individual skirmishes, they were ill-equipped to handle the sheer volume of adversaries. Furthermore, the irregular distribution of fatal wounds on the corpses hinted that human intervention was unlikely, both during and after the chaos.Upon inspecting the corpses, the director noted a glaring absence: no materials had been harvested from the demon beasts or devils, suggesting that no martial artist had ventured into this area. Thus, the only plausible explanation was that the examinees were responsible, as these corp

Draken lay submerged in the mud, carefully assessing the situation. Despite the spider queen looming at the edge of the swamp, it failed to detect Draken and his companions. Their concealment was impeccable, thanks in part to their seamless integration with the surroundings.In the heart of the swamp, the tentacles swayed aimlessly, seemingly perplexed by the recent disturbances. Perhaps due to the venomous influence of the demonic spider, the devil's reactions were sluggish.The enraged spider queen, though oblivious to Draken and his group, sensed the presence of her offspring on the tentacles. Observing the faint purple hue, she deduced that some of her progeny had fallen prey to the opposing party.Under ordinary circumstances, the spider queen might have refrained from action. However, incensed by the significant losses among her descendants, she found an outlet for her fury.With a furious hiss, the spider queen vaulted into the air, spinning her body mid-flight. A dense, purple

"Hiss! Hiss!"Struggling for breath, the spider queen had a tough time. With only two spiky legs left out of the original seven, it was barely able to maintain its balance, having two legs on each side and one in the middle.Moreover, more than half of its nine scarlet eyes were now blinded.In the relentless battle between devils, instincts ruled, and every move was potentially deadly.Despite its sorry state, the spider queen's opponent, the six-tentacled catfish, fared no better.Affected by the spider queen's demonic eye of slowness and injected with venom, it was now covered in wounds and immobilized, ensnared by the spider queen's tough silk bindings.The battle had been decided. The spider queen emerged victorious by a narrow margin."They've stopped fighting now," Draken remarked, licking his lips. "That was quite the intense bout."York cautioned him in a hushed tone, "Draken! Don't speak. If it detects us, we're in trouble."Despite losing over half of its legs, the spider q

Teacher, just eat. You’re a martial artist who’s on the exam patrol. You’ll only have the strength to protect us after you’re full, don’t you?”York also chimed in, “That’s right, teacher. It’s much more useful for you to eat your fill than us. Don’t worry and eat. If it’s not enough, I have more.”As he spoke, York unzipped his trouser’s pockets and took out blood rice.Draken's eyebrows lifted in surprise. He hadn't anticipated the class president sharing his idea. Not all the blood-red rice had been packed into the makeshift bag fashioned from the uniform jacket; there was still some left.After a moment's hesitation, Misty nodded. "Alright then. I'll eat first. Later, I'll take you all to find other food...""Wait!" Draken interjected suddenly.As Misty was about to consume the rice, Draken halted her, causing her to think he had changed his mind.Taking the blood-red rice from York and Misty, Draken combined them and placed the mixture on the ground. Then, he gestured with his ha
