“Okay.” Team trust was evident at this moment. No one questioned Long Haochen’s approach. A massive Light Bomb slammed into the ground, creating a deep pit. Long Haochen, not afraid of getting dirty, dragged the magical beast over and, together with his companions, buried it.

Throughout the process, Ya Ting didn’t make a sound, only silently watching Long Haochen’s actions. It wasn’t until the burial was complete that a slight emotional fluctuation appeared in her eyes, seemingly in approval.

“Let’s go.” After burying the corpse, Long Haochen led his companions onward. He did this not entirely out of kindness but also because of his understanding of this Dream Paradise.

This was a world left by the Goddess of Nature, so everything should align with the idea of being in harmony with nature. Slaughtering might lead to obtaining spiritual stoves, but who knew the difficulty of the trial? Even if they eventually passed, the price would certainly be high.

Since there was a way to reduce trouble, why not use it?

Back when the gorilla left the spiritual stove for him and turned away, Long Haochen had already decided that their course of action was to be the guardians of everything in Dream Paradise.

Doing so would not only make him feel good and align with his personality but also potentially lead to greater benefits.

Long Haochen’s idea was quickly validated. Not far from the place where they buried the magical beast’s corpse, he was surprised to find that his perception ability had become stronger. The range of perception had increased by at least a third compared to before. In this Dream Paradise, this was a significant boost!

“As expected.” Long Haochen suddenly realized something and whispered a few words to his companions. Everyone nodded, expressing their absolute support for all his decisions.

For Long Haochen, the most urgent things were to find Cai’er and continue acting according to his ideas until the time limit.

No matter how strong an individual was, what could they do in the face of nature? Unless they reached the monstrous strength of the Demon God Emperor, it might be different.

The increase in perception reassured Long Haochen. As they continued forward, he soon had another sensation. This time, he sensed intense spiritual power clashes, even clearer and more violent than when he encountered the young demon.

After a moment’s thought, Long Haochen stopped and said to his companions, “There seems to be a melee not far ahead. Don’t go over there yet. Wait for my message and stay hidden.”

After saying this, he drew his twin swords again and quickly sneaked forward. Since it was a melee, there must be enemies and allies. In this situation, he couldn’t easily reveal that he had brought people into Dream Paradise. This wasn’t just about hiding from the enemy; even the demon hunters from the alliance had to be kept in the dark, or else there would be some trouble later.

The closer he got, the more obvious his perception became. The battle was fierce, and the dense spiritual power fluctuations made it hard to miss. Soon, Long Haochen approached the battlefield. When he saw the fight from a distance, he couldn’t help but feel relieved because he saw Cai’er at a glance among the battling parties.

The two sides were fighting in a chaotic battle with a total of seven people. Four of them were familiar to Long Haochen. On the Holy Temple Alliance side were four strong individuals. Besides Cai’er, Long Haochen recognized Zhang Fangfang. The other two were a mage and a warrior. On the opposite side were three demons: Yue Ye, Leng Xiao, and a proud-looking youth with an orange glow radiating from his body.

Four against three, yet the two sides were locked in a deadlock. Their strengths were evenly matched.

Besides these seven people, there were actually three corpses on the ground, all of magical beasts. And not far away, three spiritual stoves of different colors hung there, emitting a faint light.

“Three spiritual stoves, no wonder it caused a melee.” Long Haochen was secretly surprised and excited at the same time. He didn’t need to summon his companions. With his addition, his side would definitely suppress the opponents. Moreover, he could even rely on Yue Ye’s help at critical moments. It would be a good thing if the three spiritual stoves fell into the hands of the Alliance’s demon hunters, even if he and Cai’er could only get one.

Thinking of this, Long Haochen adjusted his spiritual power and was about to dash out.

However, at that moment, he suddenly felt an indescribable, intense crisis behind him. Ya Ting also let out a scream, and a layer of golden light spread out from her, enveloping herself and Long Haochen.

The crisis came too quickly, so much so that Long Haochen only felt his hair stand on end. But in this kind of situation, he could often unleash his strongest fighting power.

It was completely too late to dodge. At the instant when the opponent’s attack was about to land on him, Long Haochen suddenly relaxed his entire body, and the spiritual power in his body surged to his back in an instant. At the same time, his body trembled violently with the spiritual power.

The Ripple of Light. This time, what rippled was not just light but also his body. In that seemingly subtle tremor, Long Haochen had already adjusted his state to the peak.

“Bang!”

The golden light shield shattered first, followed by the Saint Spirit Protection attached to the Glorious Holy Armor. Then, a fist as heavy as a mountain struck Long Haochen’s back.

Long Haochen was thrown forward like a kite with a broken string. For a moment, golden light burst out from his body.

However, at the same time he was punched away, he turned around in mid-air and saw who the enemy was who could touch his back without being discovered.

A handsome face appeared in his sight. The dark, void-like aura was like a black net suddenly opening and rushing towards him.

Even in this place filled with the life aura of nature, Long Haochen clearly felt the annihilation of everything around his body when this darkness and void spread out.

That’s right, the enemy who ambushed him from behind was the leader of the ten demons in this operation.

At the same time Long Haochen was punched away, a scream rang out on the other side of the battlefield.

Long Haochen’s perception was still enveloping the entire field. He immediately felt an extremely powerful aura appear on the other side of the battlefield. With the appearance of this powerful aura, the mage of the Holy Temple Alliance fell, obviously also ambushed and killed.

The black-haired youth punched Long Haochen away, but he was surprised to find that he didn’t seem to have suffered any injuries, and a hint of doubt appeared on his face. How would he know that Long Haochen not only had strong defensive power but also used the Ripple of Light to resolve most of the impact and neutralize his dark attribute attack? At the same time, the Soul Chain of Life Sharing, a great weapon, existed. With this, although he was injured, it wasn’t a serious injury.

“Demons can only ambush?” Long Haochen landed on the ground, and the spiritual wings behind him bloomed, releasing dazzling light. He didn’t need to do anything. A large amount of golden light mist in the Dream Paradise forest was swarming towards his body.

This was the benefit of being here. Long Haochen, with his Light Son physique and his previous demonstration of affinity with Dream Paradise, received great support from the environment itself, not to mention Ya Ting’s assistance. Conversely, the black-clothed youth called A’Bao by Huang Shuo was strong, but he obviously couldn’t get any help from Dream Paradise and would only be rejected by the surrounding environment.

“In this world, only the results matter. How the process goes is not important,” A’Bao said indifferently, his emotions not fluctuating because of Long Haochen’s words.

At this time, although Long Haochen was very worried about Cai’er’s situation, he didn’t dare to be distracted at all. The pressure A’Bao brought him was extremely great, far beyond what the previous young demon could compare to. It seemed that as long as he showed a slight flaw, the next moment would be the destructive attack of this powerful demon.

“That’s the difference between demons and humans. Because you have no sense of morality at all, and no sense of shame. You are just beasts with a pure survival instinct. In our eyes, you are no different from magical beasts. Just stronger than ordinary magical beasts,” Long Haochen said coldly.

Emotions finally flickered momentarily in the black-clothed youth’s dark eyes, but they quickly returned to normal, and a faint smile appeared on his face: “Want to anger me? You are still too young. Although I don’t look much older than you, I have actually existed in this world for more than thirty years. How can my will be affected by a few words from you? Surrender or die, you can choose one. You are a rare human who makes me want to subdue you. I can give you this opportunity.”

Long Haochen also smiled, “Are you waiting for your companions to kill my people before surrounding me? However, that doesn’t seem easy.”

The enemy’s ambush was indeed sudden, but the current situation wasn’t too bad in Long Haochen’s view. First of all, the sudden appearance of Life Sharing would definitely attract the attention of his companions. With their wisdom, it wouldn’t be difficult to judge that he was in trouble and they would definitely come as soon as possible, and then act according to the situation.

On the other side, Cai’er and the others must be at a disadvantage, but don’t forget, there was Yue Ye, an undercover agent, on the enemy’s side. Yue Ye had a restriction placed on her by Cai’er. When it came to life and death, she would naturally make a choice. Therefore, Long Haochen wasn’t too anxious now.

A’Bao chuckled and said, “Young man, you think too highly of yourself. With just you, do I need to wait for others?”

Long Haochen said, “Think too highly of myself? Maybe not. I just killed one of your people. He gave me a Crown of Inheritance Magic Crystal.”
