Chapter 1069
On Long Chen’s side, Huo Long was at the very front, incinerating any devil beasts near it . After devouring three Earth Flames and Luo Bo’s Pill Flame, it had undergone a complete transformation .
The current flame dragon had reached a level of control over its power that even shocked Long Chen . Its control was equal to an alchemist controlling their flame during a pill refinement . Each bit of power was used perfectly without the slightest waste .
“Is this the result of devouring Luo Bo’s Pill Flame? It also absorbed his flame control experience?”
Seeing how unstoppable Huo Long was, Long Chen was pleasantly surprised . Huo Long’s power surpa.s.sed his expectations .
Behind Huo Long were Tang Wan-er, Gu Yang, Song Mingyuan, and Li Qi . They had formed one long defensive line .
Tang Wan-er’s wind blades along with Song Mingyuan and Li Qi’s earthen spears were both large-area attacks . The majority of the devil beasts that got past Huo Long were killed by them .
As for Gu Yang, he had no large-area attacks . He focused on the eighth rank devil beasts that got by, not letting them charge into the formation behind him .
Through these layers of obstructions, the number of devil beasts that reached the Dragonblood Legion was not high . Furthermore, they were all seventh rank . With nine people in a team, their formations moved out, forming sharp blades that cut through them .
From the air, this channel was a land of death for the devil beasts . The formations were like meat grinders . As they moved, the devil beasts were torn apart .
Black blood and flesh flew through the air . It was miserable and b.l.o.o.d.y, but these devil beasts didn’t seem to have any fear of death . They continued to crazily charge forward even as they saw their companions being killed .
Within the entire Dragonblood Legion, Long Chen was the most leisurely one . He was squatting on the ground, studying a devil beast’s head that had just been cut off .
That devil beast’s teeth were as sharp as a Treasure item . Black lines covered in the teeth that emitted the aura of death .
This was a special aura, and once bitten, it would invade your body . Even Heavenly Dao energy had trouble erasing it, so being injured by a devil beast was a very troublesome matter .
Long Chen snapped off one of its half-a-foot-long teeth and carefully examined its aura . For some unknown reason, he felt another very familiar aura within its sinister aura .
Suddenly, an eighth rank devil beast broke past Gu Yang’s blockade . Guo Ran was just about to shoot it with his golden crossbow when Long Chen flung out the tooth . It pierced straight through the devil beast’s head .
“It only possesses a berserk will and has no spiritual fluctuations . In other words, it has no intelligence . It only has desires but has no fear of death . How curious . ”
As that eighth rank devil beast died, Long Chen locked onto it with his Spiritual Strength to see what it would feel during death . It was a very strange lifeform .
It had to be known that any creature would feel innate fear toward danger and death . But these devil beasts didn’t . They didn’t even have spiritual fluctuations .
If they didn’t have bodies of flesh, Long Chen would suspect that they were puppets made to kill people .
“Puppets… they really are like puppets . ”
Long Chen’s eyes brightened . These devil beasts were just like a kind of puppet . Their attacks were practically instinctual, and that was the basic nature of a puppet .
“This is…” Long Chen reached into the devil beast’s chest and pulled out a black stone .
The stone was the size of a baby’s fist, and it was covered in lines that were like wriggling centipedes . It looked very evil .
But he also sensed another kind of energy fluctuations within this stone . He suddenly cried out, “These are yuan energy fluctuations! It’s practically the same as the fluctuations from yuan spirit stones!”
Long Chen couldn’t help being dumbfounded . These devil beasts could produce yuan spirit stones? That had to be nonsense . Yuan spirit stones were mined; how could devil beast cores become yuan spirit stones?
When he carefully sensed it, he found that only a small amount of the devil beast core’s energy was yuan spiritual energy . The energy inside was complicated . The yuan spiritual energy only made up a tenth of its energy . The remaining ninety percent was a berserk, dark kind of energy, and that kind of energy was poison to cultivators . There was no way to extract the yuan spiritual energy like this, so there was no way to use this stone .
After studying it a bit longer, Long Chen stopped and began to pay attention to the Dragonblood Legion’s battle .
“Hahaha, I’ve made three hundred and seventy-five points!” cried out a Dragonmark warrior as he excitedly killed the devil beasts .
It had just been less than two hours since the battle had begun, but an ordinary inner sect disciple had made three hundred and seventy-five points . That was like striking gold .
Working two hours here was worth more than three months of rations . It was no wonder he would be so excited . After all, these were the points he had earned with his own power .
“What’s so amazing about three hundred points? I’m already at five hundred, but did you see me say anything?” shouted one of the Dragonblood warriors .
