Long Haochen nodded and said, “Very strong. These demons must have suppressed their strength to enter here. A’Bao’s own strength is at least at the eighth rank, and possibly even the ninth rank. His external spiritual power is as high as 20,000. Except for my Asura Slash and Asura Thrust, almost none of my skills can break through his physical defense. He’s afraid of Cai’er’s Samsara Spiritual Furnace. This person is flexible and not impulsive, and will definitely be a formidable enemy in the future. Moreover, he is likely to be one of the successors of the Demon God Emperor.”

Hearing this, everyone’s expression changed. The successor of the Demon God Emperor, what a status that was.

Chen Ying’er said somewhat unconvinced, “So what? We still drove him away.”

Cai’er said calmly, “He can be injured by Hao Chen and driven away by us because he’s more afraid of death than we are. As the successor of the Demon God Emperor and the future ruler of the demons, he’s unwilling to take risks. Otherwise, we might all die here today. Even if I use all the power of the Samsara Spiritual Furnace, I only have a 60% chance of dying with him. Facing him is like how the six seniors who fell to the Demon God faced the Demon God Emperor back then.”

Zhang Fangfang came to Long Haochen and said gratefully, “Fortunately, you arrived in time, otherwise I would have been done for here today. We ultimately underestimated the demons who came in this time. As far as I know, in addition to the two just now, at least three of the ten of us who came in have already died. The demons have collected more than seven Spiritual Furnaces.”

He didn’t ask why Long Haochen’s team members were in Dream Paradise, but simply shared the information he had learned.

Long Haochen frowned slightly and said, “Let’s go, let’s collect the three Spiritual Furnaces first, bury the bodies of those magical beasts, and then discuss other things.”

Everyone returned to the previous battlefield. The magician demon hunter and the warrior demon hunter died in a very tragic state. Long Haochen collected their bodies into the Eternal Melody, preparing to hand them over to their respective teams after leaving this place. A demon hunter’s death is a fatal blow to the team, and the demon hunter team is likely to be disbanded as a result. Moreover, almost all of those who came in this time are the core members of various teams. The demons would naturally kill them mercilessly when they saw them. The reverse was also true. But judging from the current situation, the demon hunters were clearly at a disadvantage.

However, it was too late to say anything now. Who would have thought that the demons would invest so heavily, sending all the successors of the top few of the seventy-two demon gods? And they used secret methods to suppress their strength and enter.

They buried the bodies of the dead magical beasts, without even touching their magic crystals. Then, Long Haochen led his companions to the three Spiritual Furnaces.

A strange scene occurred. Ya Ting slowly floated to the front of the three Spiritual Furnaces, murmured a few incantations, and a faint golden light enveloped the three Spiritual Furnaces. Immediately, the three Spiritual Furnaces emitted a soft glow and followed Ya Ting to Long Haochen.

Faced with the three Spiritual Furnaces, everyone’s eyes immediately became eager. Long Haochen turned to Zhang Fangfang and said, “Brother Zhang, please choose one first.”

“Ah? Me?” Zhang Fangfang looked at Long Haochen in surprise.

It was impossible for him to have no thoughts about these three Spiritual Furnaces, but he had already suppressed the desire in his heart. Long Haochen was so powerful that he could bring the entire team in, which was not just a matter of strength, but also of foundation. Moreover, if the members of the 21st General Grade Demon Hunt Squad weren’t here, he would probably have difficulty surviving. Naturally, he wouldn’t have any more thoughts. In the previous battle, he had personally witnessed the tacit cooperation and powerful strength of the members of the 21st General Grade Demon Hunt Squad. Although everyone except Long Haochen and Cai’er had not yet broken through to the sixth rank, they were very powerful when they cooperated. He never expected that Long Haochen would let him choose one first.

Long Haochen said, “These Spiritual Furnaces were first discovered by Brother Zhang. If it weren’t for Brother Zhang, we might not have been able to drive away those demons. Brother Zhang, please don’t be polite, please go ahead.”

Zhang Fangfang took a deep breath and subconsciously looked at the others around Long Haochen. No one objected to Long Haochen’s words, and even their expressions didn’t show any dissatisfaction.

After a brief internal struggle, Zhang Fangfang’s expression returned to calm. He earnestly said, “Brother Long, thank you. However, I can’t accept it. I won’t deny that I also crave Spiritual Furnaces. But, if it weren’t for your help in the battle just now, I would have lost my life. You are my saviors. How can I take the Spiritual Furnaces that you worked so hard to obtain at this time?”

“Brother Zhang…” Long Haochen wanted to insist, but Zhang Fangfang raised his hand to stop him. He said seriously, “Brother Long, how about this, I only have a small request, I hope to be with you in the next action. If we are lucky enough to encounter Spiritual Furnaces again, then give one to me, okay? I really can’t take these three.”

Hearing this, the members of the 21st General Grade Demon Hunt Squad all looked at Zhang Fangfang with a bit of surprise and admiration. Not everyone can give up in the face of the temptation of Spiritual Furnaces. Although he also suggested that if they encountered Spiritual Furnaces later, they would belong to him, who could guarantee that there would be Spiritual Furnaces for them to encounter?

Long Haochen was not a pretentious person, and time was running out. After a little thought, he said, “Okay, since that’s the case, then I won’t be polite. Lin Xin, the red Spiritual Furnace is yours. Sima, that purple Spiritual Furnace that looks very violent belongs to you. Yuan Yuan, you absorb the silver Spiritual Furnace. Start immediately, we will protect you.”

The members of the 21st General Grade Demon Hunt Squad not only trusted Long Haochen, but also admired him. Hearing this, no one said anything more, and the three of them immediately stepped forward and began to absorb the three Spiritual Furnaces.

Because it was just temporary absorption, and they couldn’t use them directly, it only took a moment for the three of them to complete their respective fusions.

Lin Xin and Wang Yuanyuan were a little better, just a look of joy. As soon as Sima Xian finished merging with the Spiritual Furnace, he couldn’t help but shout, “So refreshing. I’m being electrocuted.”

Long Haochen smiled slightly and said, “The Spiritual Furnace that Lin Xin fused with is called Heart Flame, a type of extremely hot flame. It doesn’t help fire mages cultivate spiritual power or come with any skills. However, it can make the quality of the flame released by fire mages reach an extremely high level. The temperature is also very terrifying. This Heart Flame Spiritual Furnace seems to not have much effect, but its actual effect is quite powerful, as can be seen from its ranking among the top five Spiritual Furnaces that mages can absorb.”

“Yuan Yuan’s Spiritual Furnace is a rare space-attribute Spiritual Furnace, and it fits her very well. It is also the most practical of the known space-attribute Spiritual Furnaces. Lin Xin’s Heart Flame may still have flame backlash if used excessively, but Yuan Yuan’s Spiritual Furnace has absolutely no such danger. This Spiritual Furnace is called the Gate of Space. Simply put, it’s teleportation. If I remember correctly, the number of times and distance that the Gate of Space can be used each day will change as it evolves. Moreover, for space-type warriors, having this Spiritual Furnace will greatly assist them in learning other space-type skills. Yuan Yuan and Lin Xin are both very lucky.”

“Boss, what about me? What is this Spiritual Furnace you let me absorb? It’s electrocuting me so much I’m about to orgasm…” Sima Xian looked both painful and happy.

Long Haochen chuckled and said, “Didn’t you want a high-burst Spiritual Furnace? Here’s what you wished for. This Spiritual Furnace belongs to a rare Spiritual Furnace and is very rare. It is lightning attribute. Anyone can absorb it.” Saying this, he glanced at Zhang Fangfang, his original intention was to let Zhang Fangfang choose this Spiritual Furnace. The two Spiritual Furnaces that were more suitable for Wang Yuanyuan and Lin Xin were ones he couldn’t let go of, especially Wang Yuanyuan’s. The rarity of space-attribute Spiritual Furnaces could even be compared to the top three Spiritual Furnaces in the overall ranking of known Spiritual Furnaces.

“Sima’s Spiritual Furnace is called Purple Lightning. It has no active skills, but it has very strong passive abilities. As long as your body can withstand it, after triggering this Spiritual Furnace, all your attacks will be imbued with powerful lightning power. How strong it can be specifically, you will know when you try it yourself. However, I must remind you that because of the domineering nature of this Purple Lightning Spiritual Furnace, it may be more difficult when you truly accept its test, you have to be prepared.”

Sima Xian’s eyes shone brightly, “Good, good, I like this.” Don’t look at his rough appearance, he is actually very meticulous in his thoughts. Although Long Haochen didn’t say what the real power of this Purple Lightning Spiritual Furnace was, he could guess some of it. Even among rare attributes, lightning’s burst power is the strongest.

Having obtained four Spiritual Furnaces in a row, Long Haochen’s mood was also much more relaxed at this time. These are all rare treasures! Real good stuff. These four Spiritual Furnaces alone have made their trip worthwhile. What’s more, there is still time, and it is still difficult to say whether there are any Spiritual Furnaces that have not been taken away.

The crowd moved again. With Zhang Fangfang added, they now numbered as many as eight. Even if they encountered those demons, they would have a chance to fight. Of course, the premise was that those demons were not all gathered together.

Time passed gradually. Along the way, they did not encounter any other Spiritual Furnaces, and Long Haochen had not sensed anything. They only encountered a few magical beast corpses, which they buried like before.

Night fell. In this Dream Paradise, there was no difference from the outside. It was also divided into day and night. The eight gathered together and found a relatively hidden place to rest.

Their first day inside Dream Paradise had passed just like that, and this was just the beginning. According to the information given by Ling Xiao, there would still be opportunities in the next two days, but it would also be more dangerous.
