Chapter 388: 387, Demon Beast Attack Chapter 388: 387, Demon Beast Attack Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen glanced at their Jade Tokens, which displayed the numbers sixty-seven and ninety-one, respectively. The corners of their mouths slightly lifted—it seemed they had advanced.
“You guys, what ranks are you? I’m nine hundred thirty-one, so close! Just a little bit more and I would have been outside the top thousand,” Yuan Yixiu exclaimed excitedly, waving his fists. He had never felt such a sense of achievement before.
“Congratulations!” Song Yan Ning congratulated him with a smile.
“Thank you!” Yuan Yixiu was so overjoyed he couldn’t contain himself. Although Qin Ning and Song Shen hadn’t told him their ranks, he was certain they too would make it to the second layer.
Not far away, Yuan Yu’er looked at her own Jade Token and breathed a long sigh of relief. Although she ranked nine hundred ninety-seven, as long as she could advance to the second layer, it was fine. As for Yuan Yixiu, that good-for-nothing, surely he must have been eliminated this round?
At that moment, a beam of light enveloped them, instantly sweeping away the cultivators ranked within the top thousand.
Feeling the ground solidify beneath her feet, Song Yan Ning knew they had arrived at the second layer.
She was about to look around when that deep voice boomed again, “Welcome to this layer, named the Demon Domain. You all have three days. Within these three days, the ranks will be determined by how many demon beasts you slay. Those who rank in the top five hundred can advance to the third layer. This time, you may choose to fight alone or as a team. However, if you select the team option, only the team’s total score counts. Even if an individual performs well, it won’t matter unless the team’s total score is in the top five hundred. All members of a team below that rank will be eliminated. Please think carefully.”
Yuan Yu’er, somewhat hesitant, looked at the Yuan Family members who had come with her. “Maybe we should fight separately. We might have a better chance this way,” she suggested, not wanting to be dragged down, especially by that incompetent fool.
“We should fight separately,” Yuan Yixiu voiced his concern about possibly dragging down Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen.
Song Yan Ning shook her head with a smile, “Since you’ve teamed up with us, we wouldn’t just exclude you.” They had secretly helped Yuan Yixiu during the previous battle against the Yin Souls.
“I’m afraid I’m not strong enough and might affect you guys,” Yuan Yixiu admitted sheepishly. Though he hadn’t been of much help, he didn’t want to cause trouble.
“It’s alright,” Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen assured him, shaking their heads.
Suddenly, a sound like thunder rumbled from afar. In the distance, the horizon turned dark as if a storm of black clouds was approaching.
“It’s demon beasts!” someone shouted in panic. It was their first time seeing such a massive tide of demon beasts. The sheer force of their presence sent shivers down their spines.
Using her Divine Sense, Song Yan Ning scanned the incoming demon beasts. She wanted to see how many of them came from the Demon World. Each realm had its demon beasts, but what set the Demon World apart was that it was entirely populated by them, with even humans transformed from demon beasts. In most realms, it was difficult for demon beasts to take human form.
For instance, on Earth, there were naturally intelligent demon beasts, but environmental constraints prevented them from transforming.
Her Divine Sense swept over the charging demon beasts, and a flicker of surprise crossed Song Yan Ning’s eyes. Although these beasts were not from the Demon World, they were strong. She saw an opportunity to enter into contracts with some high-level demonic beasts. They could be of great help when she returned to the Demon World.
“Qin Yushen, I want to make contracts with some of these demon beasts,” Song Yan Ning shared her thought.
