Two Demonic Leopards found three Storage Bags on the corpse of a demon and didn't waste any time examining them closely. They simply embraced the bags and ran for it.
Soon, the other Demonic Beasts chased after them, with Wang Hong naturally following suit.
Given the current situation, anyone who acquired treasure immediately became the target of everyone's envy.
Faced with the encirclement of so many Demonic Beasts of the same tier, no one was confident of surviving, but no one was willing to give up the treasure willingly either.
The Demonic Leopard that had run a short distance found itself surrounded by a large group of Demonic Beasts once more, with no way to escape.
These two Demonic Leopards were quite clever. At this moment, being surrounded by countless Demonic Beasts and seeing no hope of escape, one of them took out the three Storage Bags they had just grabbed.
"Fellow Daoists, please hold your hands. We can talk this out, and I'm willing to hand over the treasure."
Then, it began searching through the three Storage Bags. Eventually, it took out a Jade Box.
In front of all the Demonic Beasts, it opened the Jade Box for everyone to see.
Inside the Jade Box lay a piece of red branch, dull in appearance, roughly the thickness of a human finger and a little over five inches long.
Although many Demonic Beasts had participated in the chase for days, killing countless demons, most of them had not had the opportunity to witness the true form of the Fusang Divine Wood.
At this moment, disappointment appeared on the faces of many Demonic Beasts.
They had heard about the Fusang Divine Wood and rushed here to fight over it, but now that they saw this small piece of branch, what use could it be?
It was too short to make chopsticks, and too thick to be a toothpick. At most, it could be refined into a nail.
Suddenly, many Demonic Beasts felt that it wasn't worth it for the Demons who had died trying to obtain the treasure. If they had known it was just this tiny piece of branch, would they still have been willing to sacrifice their lives?
Of course, many Demonic Beasts had no intention of giving up. After all, even if they could only refine it into an embroidery needle, it was still made of divine wood, and its power would be extraordinary.
"Is it fake? Can the branches of the Fusang Divine Wood look so ordinary?" questioned one of the Demonic Beasts.
Indeed, after this remark, doubts arose among the others, and their gazes towards the Demonic Leopard turned unfriendly once again.
"Fellow Daoists, this is the only item in branch form among these, so let me demonstrate it for everyone."
The Demonic Leopard quickly explained, not wanting to shoulder the blame.
At this moment, it took the branch in its paw and infused it with demonic energy, causing the branch to gradually shine brighter.
When the red color became dazzling, a brilliant crimson flame emerged from the branch, roughly the size of an egg.
This small flame emitted an astonishing heat, and its scorching heat spread quite far, forcing the Demonic Beasts to unconsciously take a few steps back.
The flame flew off the branch and landed lightly on a massive stone over ten feet tall.
Then, the huge stone quickly vaporized and disappeared.
Many Demonic Beasts had already been hesitant, but witnessing the incredible power of this small branch, they regained their confidence to compete for it.
The Demonic Leopard put the branch back into the Jade Box, closed it, and then, with a forceful toss, threw the Jade Box into the sky.
Many Demonic Beasts immediately soared into the air to contend for the Jade Box.
Meanwhile, the Demonic Leopard took advantage of the distraction and slipped to the side, opting not to participate in the scramble for now.
At this moment, the Jade Box hovered in the air, swaying and darting in all directions under the influence of various demonic energies.
Everyone wanted to get their hands on this piece of divine wood. However, without finding an escape route, no one dared to grab it.
As soon as someone attempted to seize the Jade Box, they would be instantly turned into minced meat.
So, in the sky, the fierce competition appeared to be intense, but it was actually the result of various parties restraining each other.
Suddenly, a Demonic Beast found an opening, and a tremendous surge of demonic power struck the Jade Box, causing it to fly out of the battle zone.
Under the gaze of all the other demons, the Jade Box flew dozens of yards and, below it, a Four-Legged Lizard Demon, which had been lurking in the weeds, revealed itself.
Seeing the Jade Box heading towards it, the Four-Legged Lizard Demon was overjoyed.
It quickly reached out a claw to catch it, seemingly about to grab the Jade Box, but at the very moment when they were only an inch apart, the Jade Box miraculously disappeared.
The Four-Legged Lizard Demon was left bewildered, unable to comprehend how the Jade Box had vanished in an instant.
Meanwhile, among the pursuing Demonic Beasts, it appeared as if the lizard had stored the treasure in its Storage Bag.
Because collecting items in a Storage Bag only required contact with the item, and everyone had seen the lizard extend its claw, they assumed it had put the Jade Box in its Storage Bag.
The lizard was still trying to figure out the whereabouts of the Jade Box when its companion, who had earlier hurled the Jade Box, became anxious.
"Quick, run!"
Hearing its companion's shout, the lizard, although it hadn't found the Jade Box, didn't think twice and ran. This was the result of the long-standing understanding and trust between the two Demonic Beasts. It believed that its companion should be able to handle the situation.
Unfortunately, the Demonic Beast hesitated for a moment earlier, and now it was a bit late to flee.
Countless attacks rained down on the Demonic Beast, instantly tearing it into several pieces.
One Demonic Beast was fortunate, and a piece of the corpse fell right in front of it, with the lizard's Storage Bag still attached.
This Demonic Beast was overjoyed and quickly removed the Storage Bag before fleeing with it.
It had just witnessed the lizard putting the Jade Box into the Storage Bag, gaining a huge advantage. So, it couldn't afford to wait any longer.
Wang Hong had been observing from the sidelines all along. He dared not join the battle, as his current status would undoubtedly be exposed if he did.
If the Demon Clan discovered a Human Clan member among them, they would likely not spare him. Faced with the siege of so many third-tier Demonic Beasts, he didn't believe he could survive.
So, he would absolutely not step forward to compete.
Wang Hong had always released his Divine Sense, observing every aspect of the battlefield.
Just now, the Jade Box had flown out of the area where the demons were fighting and towards the lizard.
Seeing this opportune moment, Wang Hong naturally didn't let it slip by. His Divine Sense had been closely tracking the Jade Box.
Just as it was about to make contact with the lizard demon, he directly pulled it into his own space.
While others needed physical contact or close proximity to collect items, his space allowed him to collect items with just the reach of his Divine Sense, free from interference by others' Divine Sense.
