Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 576 - 324: Part 3 Assessment_3

"Set out, within four quarters of an hour, locate the Core Formation Realm demon's trace, and then slay it."

The mentor announced the start of the second part of the trial, reminding everyone to pay attention to time, to handle things cautiously, and to avoid any casualties.

Everyone needs to be cautious of sneak attacks from the demons. Due to the unclear location of the Core Formation Realm demon, the team members dare not split up and search; they can only stay together, spread out slightly, and keep within a range where they can support each other while finding their targets slowly.

At this speed, it's too slow. If they don't split up to search, even an hour might not be enough to finish searching the Ninth Yellow District.

Wei Long asked everyone to stop and said to them, "I'll go search for the demon's traces alone. You all proceed together, Lu Yu will lead the team. Once you find the Core Formation Realm demon, send a message first, don't rush into battle."

"Captain, won't this be too dangerous?" Luo Feng frowned and said.

Wei Long smiled and said, "It's not that dangerous. My Light and Dark Aria has defensive capabilities. Even if I encounter two Core Formation Realm demons, I can still escape, and at worst, hold out until the mentor rescues me."

"I'm more worried about your safety. Without me in the team, you don't have a meat shield to withstand the Core Formation Realm demon."

Saying this, Wei Long looked at Lu Yu, paused for a moment, and seriously asked, "Do you think you can block the Core Formation Realm demon?"

The others looked at Wei Long in surprise, not expecting him to ask Lu Yu this question.

Lu Yu is just a Martial Cultivator in the Sea of Qi Realm, even if he can temporarily erupt with strength comparable to a Core Formation without Divine Soldiers, it would only be a temporary surge, not sustainable.

To block a powerful Core Formation Realm demon, relying merely on temporarily erupted strength is not viable.

Besides, the Core Formation Realm demon might not just have newly entered the Core Formation Realm; what if the demon appearing in the Ninth Yellow District is much stronger?

Lu Yu glanced at the others and seriously replied, "No problem for a short time."

"Good, I'll leave the left to you guys, I'll explore the right." Wei Long did not ask Lu Yu how short the time was, after assigning directions, he swiftly flew toward the right.

The faster he explores, the quicker he can return to the side of the team, reducing their danger.

Others, unlike Wei Long, who can act alone, using the fastest speed to explore the environment, must maintain their distance with companions, necessarily slowing their pace significantly.

"I haven't much experience finding demons on the battlefield, it's better you lead everyone." Lu Yu said to Luo Feng.

Luo Feng didn't refuse. Lu Yu's strength is indeed very strong, which he cannot deny, but in terms of tracking demon traces and exploring the battlefield, Luo Feng considers himself more adept than Lu Yu.

After all, Lu Yu has only been in the battlefield for less than a month, while he's been struggling here for over a year.

Bam! Often, battles occur during exploration; Luo Heng punched away a black frog-shaped demon, which landed on the ground, bouncing like a ball, and charged at Luo Heng again as if nothing had happened.

"Don't bother with it; this is just a demonized U'en Marsh Frog. It can't fly and won't catch up with us." Luo Feng shouted to Luo Heng.

Luo Heng kicked the troublesome U'en Marsh Frog, quickly flew away from there, and chased after the others.

The U'en Marsh Frog bounced a while on the ground, realizing it couldn't catch Luo Heng, and, following its pre-demonization instincts, returned to the swamp, hiding, waiting for its next prey.

"Honestly, the mentor didn't give us any clues; the Ninth Yellow District is so large, when are we going to find it?" Luo Heng complained.

Chen Qingyun picked something resembling a Reishi from the root of a tree, put it into the Storage Ring, and flew up saying, "If you have time to complain, you'd better spend more efforts finding."

"Don't blindly search; observe the surroundings. If a Core Formation Realm demon frequents a place, there are bound to be unusual traces." Chen Qingyun said.

Luo Heng glanced at his Storage Ring and asked, "How do you find the Jade Mushroom? How can you always accurately find its location?"

"Ahem~ that's my unique secret technique, not telling you." Chen Qingyun coughed twice and said; he relies on this unique secret technique to find mushrooms to earn resources, revealing it would cut off his income channel, wouldn't it?

Furthermore, his method is not suitable for Luo Heng; they practice in different directions, even if given to Luo Heng, it would be useless.

Perhaps Luo Heng would even think he's being fooled with fake goods.

"Forget it; if you don't want to say it's fine, I'll look over there." Luo Heng said indifferently, flying to another side, occasionally pausing to inspect the trees, checking if there was any Jade Mushroom underneath.

His demeanor did not seem as indifferent as he claimed.

Beep beep beep~ suddenly an urgent prompt sounded, Luo Heng and Chen Qingyun received an emergency message from Wei Long; he had found a Core Formation Realm demon and was engaged in combat with it.

Boom! Just as the two wanted to rendezvous with others and rush to Wei Long's aid, a massive earth-shattering eruption occurred not far away.

A demon Minotaur, dozens of meters tall, appeared in their sight; they also noticed a small black dot in front of the Minotaur, which upon focusing further, was Lu Yu.

The Green Phoenix squad actually simultaneously found two Core Formation Realm demons.
