Gu Fei took the jade slip and sent his divine sense into it. Very quickly, he retracted his divine sense. The thing inside the jade slip was exactly what he needed.
"This thing is yours," said Yang Ling. Gu Fei put away the jade slip and casually threw the bead that was emitting a misty gray light to Boss Tie.
Boss Tie was immediately overjoyed. At this time, he was still holding onto one of the Redflame Beast's thighs. He immediately let go and caught the bead with trembling hands. The other two people threw the Redflame Beast's corpse to the side when Boss Tie let go.
Gu Fei got what he wanted. He no longer paid attention to these people and directly walked out. Very quickly, his figure disappeared into the bushes.
He … he left just like that? No one could believe their eyes. After a long while, Boss Tie came back to his senses. He carefully brought the gray bead in his hand to his eyes and looked at it again and again.
"We're rich this time." Boss Tie's face revealed a stupid expression. He stared with a pair of eyes that were the size of bells. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see every line on the Devil Core. His saliva was about to drip onto the ground.
The Devil Core faintly emitted a powerful energy fluctuation. There was no doubt about it. Most importantly, the strand of primordial spirit of the little old man that was attached to the Devil Core had already been erased by the youth.
This Devil Core was equivalent to an ownerless treasure. As long as the power contained within could be drawn out, the benefits would be unimaginable.
Boss Tie's cultivation had already reached the bottleneck of the Ninth Heaven. If he could successfully devour the power within the Devil Core, breaking through his current cultivation bottleneck would not be a difficult task.
However, he seemed to have forgotten that his three companions were also extremely envious of the thing in his hand. The long haired woman, the skinny young man with a folding fan, and the green-clothed swordsman with a treasured sword. When everyone looked at the gray bead in Boss Tie's hand, their eyes revealed a fanatical light.
Devil Core. Moreover, it was an ownerless Devil Core. Everyone wanted it because this was a treasure trove of power. As long as they could open this treasure trove, they would be able to easily obtain great power.
The skinny youth couldn't hold it in any longer. He was the first to wave the folding fan in his hand towards Old Tie. The moment he moved, the long-haired woman and the green-robed swordsman also moved toward Old Tie.
"You … What do you want?!" Boss Tie felt that the atmosphere was not right and immediately put away the Devil Core in his hand. Holding onto the black iron axe, he stared at the three people who were rushing over and said in a deep voice.
After a Transcending Mortality Realm Demon Master was killed, the demon core left behind was incomparably precious to a Demon Dao Cultivator of the Self Awakening Realm. Swallowing this demon core, they might be able to reach the heavens in a single step and become a Demon Master expert.
An ownerless Demon Core that had its Divine Sense erased, to a Demonic Dao cultivator in the Self-Awakening State, it was an incomparably strong temptation. No one could resist such a temptation.
These people had long forgotten about the mission, the Redflame Beast, and the rewards. At this time, they only had eyes for the Devil Core.
In the face of huge benefits, the dark side of human nature would be stimulated and lured out. Then, under the drive, it would expand infinitely.
"Boss Tie, do you really not know what we want to do?" The corners of the skinny young man's mouth slightly rose, revealing an evil smile. The mysterious runes on the folding fan in his hand began to light up.
"Weng!" "Weng!" "Weng!" The sword in the green-robed swordsman's hand also began to tremble in the scabbard, releasing waves of crisp sword cries, as if it could shoot out from the scabbard at any time and turn into a sharp sword light.
The long-haired woman stared at Boss Tie, her hands already hooked onto two crescent blades that were suffused with a faint blue brilliance.
Boss Tie felt danger. He knew that these guys had already made up their minds to kill him. It was all because of the Devil Core. Could it be that all of this was already within the youth's expectations?
A Devil Core was exchanged for a map, but it also left behind a seed of disaster. Whoever had the Devil Core would become the common enemy of the other three. They wished that they could cut Boss Tie into eight pieces and then snatch the Devil Core into their hands.
Killing each other, in order to obtain cultivation resources, they did not hesitate to leave the Northern Demon Region with their companions. This kind of thing could not be more common. In this world where only the strong were respected, obtaining great strength was the most important thing.
Only with great strength would one not become someone else's cannon fodder. Only then would one not become a strand of soul under the hands of the strong.
Without any suspense, a great battle suddenly erupted. However, Boss Tie was fighting one against three and was at an absolute disadvantage. He wasn't a match for those three at all. Very quickly, he was injured and fled, while the other three chased after him.
There was nothing much to say. Whoever had the hardest fist was the boss. The people of the Demon Path believed that the strong were respected. If they couldn't win, then running away was not a shameful act.
No one looked at the flaming red corpse of the strange beast that was tossed to the side. They had completely forgotten the reason why they entered the Lost Forest.
Outside the forest, Gu Fei heard the sounds of fighting and shouting coming from behind him. He smiled and was about to leave when suddenly, as if he had sensed something, he turned around and looked towards the horizon.
He could vaguely see a black dot on the horizon. This black dot was moving towards him. Gu Fei's complexion immediately changed. He turned around and dove into the forest.
A loud and clear eagle cry came from the horizon. The black dot rapidly grew larger, revealing itself to be a giant black eagle. Its black feathers were faintly suffused with a layer of black light as it rapidly approached the forest.
When that giant black eagle flew over the forest, Gu Fei was already 20 to 30 miles away. He wasn't aimlessly moving forward, he was heading towards Hong Yue City.
Boss Tie's jade slip map clearly indicated the topography of the Northern Demon Region, the danger zones that couldn't be set foot in, the towns and cities where humans lived. Of course, there was also something that Gu Fei desperately wanted to know, the path to leave the Northern Demon Region.
Hong Yue City was one of the nine ancient giant cities in the Northern Demon Region. No one knew who built these nine giant cities in the Demon Region, nor did anyone know the origins of these nine giant cities.
They were ancient and had experienced the vicissitudes of time. They still stood tall after countless years. It was as if they had already stood on the earth since the beginning of the world.
In the Northern Demon Region, more than 90% of the humans lived in these nine ancient cities. Of course, the residents of the cities were mostly ordinary people.
Gu Fei wasn't going to congratulate the father of Hong Yue City's City Lord for his 500th birthday. The reason why he decided to go to Hong Yue City was because it was a path that Gu Fei had to pass through.
After expelling the Great Yin Devil Qi that had invaded his body, Gu Fei's Yuan Qi had recovered. However, he knew that he had not completely shaken off the tail behind him.
No one could compare to Gu Fei, who had grown up in the mountains, in terms of experience in the forest. He could do it without leaving any traces behind.
However, it had to be said that the barbarian dogs raised by the demonic sects weren't just for decoration. These barbarian dogs were definitely natural beasts that tracked people.
No matter how careful Gu Fei was, the barbarian dogs were still able to detect his tracks. The people from the Six Demonic Paths Palace chased after him from afar.
Gu Fei tried all sorts of methods, but it seemed like he couldn't shake off the pursuers. However, Gu Fei's methods weren't completely useless. At the very least, they slowed down the pursuers' speed.
After walking through the forest for about three hundred li, Gu Fei finally exited the Lost Desolate Forest. Once he exited the Lost Desolate Forest, the vegetation around him became sparse.
After leaving the Lost Desolate Forest and walking for about 10 kilometers, Gu Fei realized that the vegetation around him was decreasing. Tall trees were already very rare. All he could see were some short shrubs.
Everywhere he looked, he could see withered weeds and the hard, dark brown soil under his feet. The soil seemed to have been soaked in countless amounts of blood, like dried bloodstains.
After walking for about 30 to 40 kilometers, he couldn't see a single decent tree. Even the short shrubs had begun to sparse.
Not only that, Gu Fei also realized that the temperature around him was getting colder and colder after he walked out of the Lost Desolate Forest. At this time, he could already feel the cold wind blowing.
After leaving the Lost Desolate Forest, there was actually a barren land in front of him. This made Gu Fei feel a little uneasy. If he walked in such an open area, it would be very easy for the pursuers behind him to catch up to him.
Gu Fei didn't hesitate any longer. He took large strides and rushed forward. A five-colored radiance came out of his body and blocked the cold air. It was as if he had turned into a five-colored rainbow that cut through the dark brown ground.
Eight steps of extreme speed allowed Gu Fei to run as if he was flying, and in an instant, he was already far away.
After half an hour of running on the dark brown ground, Gu Fei estimated that he had already run three to four hundred kilometers. Then, Gu Fei soon discovered a town standing on the horizon in front of him.
He knew that this was not the Crimson Moon City marked on the map, but a small town, a transit station for entering and exiting the Lost Desolate Forest. Those who went to the Lost Desolate Forest, or those who came out of the Lost Desolate Forest, would rest in this small town for a while before continuing on their journey.
Soon, Gu Fei arrived outside the town. This was a small town built with black stones and dark brown mud bricks. When Gu Fei appeared outside the town, the two barbarian dogs lying on the archway outside the town's entrance raised their ferocious heads and glared fiercely at Gu Fei.
At this time, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded in the town. The two barbarian dogs immediately stood up from the archway and ran into the town.
"There's a town?" Gu Fei looked at the three words on the archway and couldn't help but smile. The name of this town was really special. It seemed that within a radius of several hundred kilometers, there really was only one town.
