The group of people watched in terror as the Tier 1 demon spirits, dense as a tide, surged up behind Zhang Chen.
Any one of these monsters, chosen at random, had a countenance terrifying enough to haunt one's nightmares.
And it wasn't just their horrifying appearance; their strength was astonishing, coupled with this dreadful number...
Even if Zhang Chen hadn't said anything, they would never have turned back.
In a short while, these people disappeared from sight.
Meanwhile, swarms of Tier 1 demon spirits began to surround the two of them, emerging from the road and from the sides of the surrounding buildings.
"Hiss!"
Mo Ran emitted a series of warning sounds, her fingernails on ten fingers instantly growing much longer, incredibly sharp.
"Come on, this is our training ground. You go ahead, I've got your back!"
Zhang Chen lightly patted Mo Ran's slender shoulder, speaking with a firm tone.
Although this was Zhang Chen's first time facing Tier 1 demon spirits, considering how easily he had defeated a Tier 3 demon spirit before,
These Tier 1 demon spirits, much weaker in strength, were certainly no match for him.
The main purpose was to give Mo Ran more experience and help her grow quickly.
Zhang Chen wanted to cultivate her into a powerful existence like the legendary Tier 8 demon spirits.
"Meow!"
Mo Ran nodded and quickly charged towards the nearest demon spirit.
Swish!
With a wave of her five claws, black mist instantly erupted from the demon spirit's body.
These creatures had no blood; when injured, they simply turned into a cloud of black smoke, as if they were entirely made of black smoke from the start.
"Good job, well done!"
Zhang Chen stood behind, smiling and encouraging her.
The group of people earlier had thrown a pile of skills just to barely kill one demon spirit.
But Mo Ran, with a casual wave, had already wounded a demon spirit, clearly showing the gap in their strength.
"Meow meow meow!"
After dealing with two or three demon spirits, Mo Ran's killing intent flared. With a few leaps, she plunged into the demon spirit horde and began a massacre without discrimination.
Her pair of claws, like the scythes of the god of death, moved rapidly. Wherever she went, clouds of black smoke enveloped them.
Seeing the black smoke grow thicker, Mo Ran's small frame disappeared.
The next moment, with a whoosh, she leaped out of the dust and smoke, glanced at Zhang Chen, and then jumped into another group of demon spirits, wreaking havoc.
It turned out the little one was worried about Zhang Chen, fearing something might happen to him. The moment her vision was obscured, she had jumped out.
After confirming Zhang Chen was safe, she continued her rampage.
In fact, the moment Mo Ran charged forward, almost all the demon spirits were attracted to her.
Compared to regular demon spirits, the spiritual cores of special demon spirits were more delicious and alluring than human cores.
Only a scattered few demon spirits managed to reach Zhang Chen's side.
Zhang Chen dared not be careless; he held nothing back against each monster, fighting with all his might.
These demon spirits were like paper before him, instantly shattered and disappearing into black smoke.
Pale green spiritual cores floated in the air.
As Zhang Chen approached them, they seemed to be drawn by some force and flew directly into Zhang Chen's storage ring.
This storage ring was a gift from his parents when he turned eighteen; they had apparently spent ten thousand yuan on it.
Before, it held his pocket money and schoolbooks. Now, it had an additional item: spiritual cores.
"Meow!"
On the other side, Mo Ran let out an excited cry.
Then, a flash of golden light passed over her body.
She had leveled up!
Using his Absolute Vision, Zhang Chen saw that the white light within her body had become much stronger.
Previously, her energy was already greater than the surrounding Tier 1 demon spirits, and now it was even brighter. She had likely advanced to a Tier 3 special demon spirit.
However, in terms of energy intensity, her current strength was still slightly less than the demon spirit he encountered in the alley.
With her upgrade, Mo Ran's fighting became even easier.
She moved like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, darting here and there. Wherever she went, clouds of black smoke rose.
In a short while, the surrounding Tier 1 demon spirits were all wiped out.
Only piles of Tier 1 spiritual cores remained on the ground.
Zhang Chen opened his phone to check the real-time prices of spiritual cores.
A Tier 3 spiritual core was priced at one hundred and five thousand, having increased slightly recently.
The price of a Tier 1 spiritual core was 1200. These creatures were weak and numerous, so they couldn't fetch a high price.
This time, a total of 124 Tier 1 demon spirits were eliminated.
Calculated, this battle yielded over one hundred and forty thousand, a huge profit!
