After all, Chu Tong was the core figure of their competition for this special area. They were all just support. Yet they did not see Chu Tong here. They immediately asked the others. When they learned that Chu Tong was already dead and had been killed by Xiao Shi, everyone’s minds seemed to have been struck by a bolt of lightning.

One of them had white hair and a burly and strong figure. She was a young girl who was focused on her physical body. When she heard this news, she was shocked and her expression became extremely complicated.

According to the rules set by the prince, once Chu Tong died, she would become the target of everyone’s full support. The prince wanted to prevent the loss of a core figure in the special area once Chu Tong was dead.

Before entering this special area, the prince had already ranked among them. It was to ensure that there would always be one person among them who could refine the region. The others were all supportive.

Before that, this white-haired girl had indeed hoped that Chu Tong would die and she would replace him. Now that her wish had been fulfilled, she could not be happy at all. On one hand, after experiencing the previous checkpoints, she knew that with her strength, it would definitely be difficult to compete for this special area.

On the other hand, the mystery and power Xiao Shi had displayed made her understand that with this person’s ability, he would definitely not be willing to assist. Instead, he would fight for this special area.

Since the other party could kill Chu Tong, then he could still kill her! She did not want to be enemies with such a terrifying expert. However, if she gave up just like that, the prince would definitely not forgive her easily when she returned.

She immediately made a decision. In the subsequent competition, she would just put on an act. It was mainly to save her life. She would definitely not interfere too much. Although this special area was extremely tempting to Martial Demon Realm cultivators like them, she could still clearly distinguish between her life and this special area.

She would not lose her rationality to fight with such a mysterious expert. Her heart was filled with intense curiosity about Xiao Shi’s identity. In her impression, the Great Wu Empire did not have such a powerful Martial Demon Realm expert.

Xiao Shi only took a glance at this batch of new arrivals. He didn’t pay much attention to it. He began to order the guards behind him to jump into the green pool in front of him. Through sacrificing these guards, he could remove the seal on the demon avatar.

Someone had already sacrificed through the guards. He successfully unsealed the demon avatar. Initially, each of them had ten guards, but many of them had been injured in the previous stages. As a result, the number of their guards decreased.

Thankfully, to unseal the demon avatar, he did not need to sacrifice ten guards. After everyone tried, they realized that they only needed to sacrifice five guards to unseal the demon avatar. Now, most people have satisfied this condition.

As the guards jumped into the green pool, the chains wrapped around the huge box broke. The seal on the box dissipated as well. Without these chains and seals, the entire huge box disintegrated. This revealed the demon avatar in the box.

Xiao Shi looked at his demon avatar and fell into deep thought. He was wondering if anything else would happen if he sacrificed more guards since he could unseal the demon avatar by sacrificing five guards.

Although the stone tablet in front of the green pool was to remove the seal, Xiao Shi vaguely felt that if he sacrificed more guards, there might be other uses. In any case, he had many guards here. He could try it at will.

So after Xiao Shi unsealed his demon avatar, he did not stop. He continued to sacrifice more guards. His actions quickly attracted everyone’s attention. After all, Xiao Shi was the focus of attention here.

After the others unsealed their demon avatars, they had already stopped sacrificing. After seeing Xiao Shi continue to sacrifice, they were also a little curious. They also wanted to know what would happen in the future as he continued to sacrifice.

Xiao Shi continued to sacrifice. After sacrificing ten guards in a row, black smoke suddenly suffused from the demon avatar’s body. The black smoke lingered around the demon avatar and condensed on its neck, turning into a black bead that was about the size of a fist.

Before that, there was already such a black bead on the neck of his demon avatar. This black bead was condensed from the black smoke formed by the other party’s demon avatar after Xiao Shi killed the Martial Demon Realm expert of the three domains.

Just like the current situation, in the third round, Guan Zhihong’s death further strengthened the bead. In the fourth level, the demon avatars of the Martial Demon Realm experts who had died turned into this black smoke and scattered among everyone’s demon avatars.

However, because there were more people in the fourth round, moreover, those dead Martial Demon Realm experts were not killed by Xiao Shi. Therefore, the black smoke formed by these demon avatars was distributed among everyone. There were fewer of them, so they did not gather to form a second bead.

But at that time, Xiao Shi had already realized that after these Martial Demon Realm cultivators died, their demon avatars would turn into black smoke and disperse into everyone’s demon avatars. Once the black smoke reached a certain level, it would form such a bead.

Now, after sacrificing ten guards, he had successfully condensed a second bead. But Xiao Shi knew nothing about the effect of the bead. He could not sense anything abnormal about this black bead.

However, after thinking about how the final Holy Land needed to rely on these demon avatars to fight for it, he felt that this black bead would probably be of some use in the next Holy Land.

Xiao Shi then got more guards to jump into the green pool and continue the sacrifice.

“Unfortunately, I wasn’t the one who killed Chu Tong previously. Be it his demon avatar or his guards, they were split among everyone. They weren’t all on me.” Xiao Shi felt a little regretful about this. But there was nothing he could do. There was a taboo on him. If he was considered to have killed him, the taboo on his body would also be triggered.

Such an outcome was still acceptable.

Everyone also noticed the black bead on the neck of Xiao Shi’s demon avatar. They were deep in thought. They all guessed that this bead would definitely be of use in the Holy Land. However, most of them no longer had any thoughts or interest in the next Holy Land. Even if some of them had extra guards, they did not have the thought of continuing to sacrifice to form this black bead.

They did not even want to enter the next Holy Land. They only wanted to lead their demon avatars away from this place.

Many people in Xiao Shi’s group chose to transfer their additional guards to Xiao Shi. This allowed Xiao Shi to have more guards to sacrifice. Xiao Shi’s number of guards reached 30. Apart from the five guards at the beginning, every five guards he sacrificed would condense into a black bead.

After he sacrificed all the guards, he successfully formed five black beads on the demon avatar’s neck. Including the first one he formed, there were a total of six black beads. The six black beads circled the demon avatar’s neck like six demon pearls that kept spinning..
