Chapter 2070: Danger 5

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The inner sect Elder of the Supreme Sect descended and skillfully peeled off the inner cores of the demon crocodile.

Demonic beasts possessed inner pellets within their bodies, akin to the spiritual roots cultivated by humans. These inner cores served as the foundation of their cultivation.

However, demonic beasts differed from humans in this regard. When humans faced death, they seldom destroyed their spiritual roots, except for some exceptional cases. On the other hand, when demon beasts met their demise, they would directly shatter their inner core unless circ.u.mstances prevented them from doing so in time.

In the case of this demon crocodile, it appeared that it had died unexpectedly, or it had not antic.i.p.ated its own demise. Consequently, its Inner Elixir remained intact, surprising those who witnessed the scene.

Demonic beast’s inner core was a very good thing.

That was a very high price in the bounty pavilion.

It was not easy for these disciples to kill the demon crocodile, so he still got the inner core.

Honestly…

The Elders were all very surprised.

They had never expected these disciples to successfully defeat the top-notch demon crocodile. Their initial hope was that the disciples would simply manage to survive until the elders arrived.

This time, during the Supreme Sect’s examination, an unexpected incident occurred in the area designated for the test. Upon seeing the distress signal, the disciples encountered various obstacles on their way.

It was a first for the Supreme Sect to encounter such a peculiar situation during an examination, leading them to believe that something unusual was happening.

After the inner sect Elder retrieved the inner core, a sense of foreboding crept in, and he couldn’t help but sigh. It marked the beginning of a series of unforeseen events that the Supreme Sect was about to face.

Back at Supreme Sect.

After counting the names of the disciples who had partic.i.p.ated in the examination, it became evident that five individuals, some of whom were injured, had not returned. Tragically, these five disciples had been swallowed by the demon crocodile.

What made matters even more complicated was the fact that these five individuals were not disciples of the Supreme Sect. Nevertheless, the situation had occurred within the vicinity of the Supreme Sect, making it their responsibility to address the matter. The names had to be taken into account, and the Supreme Sect had the responsibility to console the grieving families and provide appropriate compensation.

The Supreme Sect found itself grappling with an unprecedented situation, leading to a sense of chaos. They now had to handle the aftermath of the five deceased disciples while also considering how to proceed with the ongoing examination.

Due to the appearance of the demon crocodile, it became impractical to continue the beast-taming examination under the current circ.u.mstances.

However….

The demon crocodile provided valuable insights into the overall situation of the disciples.

Atter tne was eradicated, It Decame evident tnat tne girl named Gu Chaoyan had been the one to successfully kill it. Moreover, she displayed remarkable leaders.h.i.+p by being the first to rescue the trapped disciples.

Recognizing the presence of a barrier that prevented escape, Gu Chaoyan swiftly gathered the other disciples to face the demon crocodile as a united front. Her capabilities, combined with her admirable personality, aligned perfectly with the qualities sought in disciples of the Supreme Sect.

As for those who initially attempted to flee, their response was entirely normal given their lower cultivation levels. Encountering such a formidable beast had naturally instilled fear in them, leading them to prioritize self-preservation. However, when Gu Chaoyan invited them to join her in confronting the demon crocodile, they bravely rallied by her side, arming themselves with swords and proving their mettle in the process, which was enough.

However….

Obviously…

Apart from these people.

When it came to dealing with demon crocodile.

There were a few who did not offer any help but looked on coldly. They were even thinking about the disciples who were in danger ahead.

That was not a good quality of one person!
