Chapter 205 - 100: Flame Demon Spirit, Members Gather

A new development?

The others all looked at him curiously.

"Brother Yu, what new development?" Baili Qing couldn’t help but ask.

Chen Yu said, "It’s about the Flame Demon Spirit."

The Flame Demon Spirit!!!

The moment they heard this, their expressions changed drastically, their pupils constricting in shock.

"Chen Yu, you... you aren’t planning to go after the Flame Demon Spirit, are you?" Zhuang Qi stared at him in disbelief.

Everyone’s gaze fell upon him.

Insane!

That’s completely insane!

This was practically a death wish!

Although they didn’t know all the details about the Flame Demon Spirit, they knew enough.

It was a terrifying existence on par with a Level 9.

’To take out the Flame Demon Spirit... has Chen Yu’s ego really grown that big?!’

Chen Yu nodded lightly. "Yeah, that’s the plan for now."

Zhuang Qi: "..."

Dongfang Yao: "..."

An Ran: "..."

Baili Qing: "..."

—

The four of them stared at him, stunned, their minds going completely blank for a moment.

’Did I hear that right?’

’Is he really going?!’

’The Flame Demon Spirit is a Level 9 powerhouse. Is that something that can even be killed?!’

’This isn’t a Level 8 we’re talking about!’

’It’s a Level 9 Mutant Beast!’

’A Level 9!’

’The absolute peak on Ancestor Star. The strongest existence beneath a True God.’

’The gap between Level 8 and Level 9 could only be described as world-shattering.’

’How... how could he even think of it?!’

Killing a Level 9 Mutant Beast would be proof that one was invincible so long as no True God intervened.

As long as a True God didn’t make a move, that person would be unbeatable.

Silence!

It was utterly silent!

Aside from the sound of the waves and the sea breeze, none of them spoke.

"Brother Yu, are you sure this isn’t just a suicide mission?" An Ran looked at Chen Yu, unable to hold back any longer.

Chen Yu: "..."

"Brother Yu, the South Sea bounty is great and all, but we don’t need to risk our lives for it! How is this any different from suicide?"

Baili Qing also began to protest.

Chen Yu: "..."

"Chen Yu, isn’t this a little too crazy? The risk is just too high. The Flame Demon Spirit is too strong," Dongfang Yao also tried to persuade him.

"Brother Yu, why don’t you just beat me up instead? I’ll be good, let’s just not go, okay?" An Ran said.

Chen Yu: "(ー_ー)!!"

"It’s not what you think. I’m not going alone," Chen Yu said.

"Two people won’t work either!"

"Even with all of us together, there’s a 99% chance of dying," An Ran said.

Chen Yu: "(/"≡_≡)="

"This is an Alliance bounty. A lot of experts are going, which is why I want to give it a try," Chen Yu explained.

An Alliance bounty?

Hearing this, the others were taken aback.

Chen Yu immediately activated his watch. A virtual screen projected out as he logged into the Alliance’s internal network, scrolled for a moment, and quickly found the relevant bounty information.

"HSSS!!"

"Holy shit, a Divine Spirit Pearl!"

Their eyes widened when they saw the bounty’s reward.

A Divine Spirit Pearl!

That was a miraculous item that could increase one’s chances of becoming a True God.

A Celestial Spirit Pearl was something they might have a chance to come across, but a Divine Spirit Pearl was on a completely different level.

This kind of divine object was something they had only ever heard about in legends.

Under normal circumstances, one would never even see it.

The value of Alliance merit points might have been abstract to An Ran and the others, but they knew the worth of a Divine Spirit Pearl crystal clear.

"Well, in that case, it might be worth a try," Dongfang Yao said.

The others snapped back to their senses and quickly calmed down.

The reward was good, but the problem was... the mission’s difficulty was truly off the charts.

You could only get it by taking out the Flame Demon Spirit.

The difficulty level wasn’t just high; it was astonishingly, frighteningly high.

"Sister Yao, have you gone crazy too?" An Ran looked at Dongfang Yao.

Dongfang Yao: "..."

"One person couldn’t do it, but if the Alliance’s experts gather, it’s not impossible," Dongfang Yao said calmly.

"That’s what I was thinking, too," Chen Yu agreed with Dongfang Yao.

"Crazy, you’re both crazy. You two really are a match made in heaven."

An Ran rolled her eyes.

Chen Yu: "..."

Dongfang Yao: "..."

"Brother Yu, I’ve always supported you, but this time, the risk is really high. If you’re going, then I can only wish you a safe journey," Baili Qing said.

"Brother Yu, if you die, I’ll be sure to burn lots of spirit money for you on the seventh day," An Ran said, looking at him.

Chen Yu: "(ㅍ_ㅍ)"

’Nice sentiment, but please, just stop talking.’

"You guys should go somewhere else first. I’m going to check it out. I won’t know the exact situation until I get there," Chen Yu said.

"I’m going too!" Dongfang Yao said with a serious expression.

Chen Yu frowned and looked at Dongfang Yao. "This could be very dangerous. I can’t make any guarantees."

Dongfang Yao looked unconcerned. "It doesn’t matter. I can protect myself."

Chen Yu nodded and didn’t say anything more.

Dongfang Yao’s burst ability was very strong. She could be a great help at a critical moment.

"..."

’These two... are complete lunatics!’

Sighing internally, An Ran and the others didn’t voice any more objections.

Chen Yu’s strength was indeed immense, but as for whether he could succeed, that remained to be seen.

Baili Qing: "Brother Yu, a safe journey."

Zhuang Qi: "A safe journey."

An Ran: "Safe journey!"

...

An Ran, Zhuang Qi, and Baili Qing left.

A battle of this level was not something they could interfere in.

Dongfang Yao and Chen Yu watched the three disappear into the distance before turning their gazes back to the Alliance bounty.

The Flame Demon Spirit was hidden in a submarine volcano, and the bounty notice also provided the volcano’s location.

It was beneath a small island in the sea.

"Brother Yu, if things look bad, we retreat," Dongfang Yao said to Chen Yu.

"Okay," Chen Yu nodded.

With that, the two of them moved, their figures quickly vanishing from the surface of the sea.

...

Deep in the vast, boundless South Sea, a lone island less than five kilometers across stood on the surface of the water.

In the sky above the South Sea, the figures of Chen Yu and Dongfang Yao appeared.
