The Medallion

Over the span of a few days, many perished.

Each treasure hunting team lost around ten or more members to injury or death. Only Geoffrey's and Woods' teams each had only five casualties, which could show just how strong they were.

However, the deeper they trudged into the Hell of Dragon Fang, the stronger the spirit-manipulated beasts they faced. Even more casualties were to be expected as the situation grew more and more dangerous.

Just now, Woods' treasure hunting team had the misfortune of stumbling into the habitat of the Demonic Rock Dogs. They were violently ambushed, and the battle was fierce.

Among the Demonic Rock Dogs, their leader was the strongest, at the fifth grade of the five-star level. Few of them were at the fourth grade of the five-star level, and the rest were at the fourth grade of the four-star level. Together, they attacked fiercely, like a pack of wolves defending their territory.

Two peerless masters at the Divine Stage, Lucas and Brook, had spirit-manipulated beasts at the six-star level. However, the Demonic Rock Dogs stood over two meters tall, with rock-hard skin. Lucas' Sacred Timber Galaxy Colossus was fighting neck and neck with the leader of the Demonic Rock Dogs. While the leader might've been a star lower than Lucas' spirit-manipulated beast, it still put up one hell of a fight. Meanwhile, Lucas, Brook, and Brook's spirit-manipulated beast fought against the few Demonic Rock Dogs at the fourth grade of the five-star level; the warriors at the Supernal Stage and the masters at the Heavenly Stage all struggled against a dozen Demonic Rock Dogs at the fourth grade of the four-star level.

Although the eight warriors at the Supernal Stage and eight spirit-manipulated beasts at the four or five-star level were strong enough to survive their attacks, some of the Demonic Rock Dogs broke through their defense line. To their horror, these scoundrels headed straight for the weaker spirit manipulators at the Heavenly Stage.

Chaos ensued. Several spirit manipulators at the Heavenly Stage lay moaning on the ground, having been mangled violently.

"Your Royal Highness, I'm afraid things aren't looking good for us," Lucas said apprehensively. "It won't do us any good if we continue to fight like this. We can't risk getting caught by other spirit-manipulated beasts in the area. We'll be sandwiched!" said Lucas, who had just killed a Demonic Rock Dog with Brook and immediately returned to Woods to protect him together with several spirit manipulators at the Heavenly Stage.
