The speed at which Chu Chen and his companion were traveling was very fast. In just about fifteen minutes, they caught up with Ji Mingyue and the others.
By now, they had already reached the entrance, but were blocked by the beast horde.
Fortunately, they didn’t recklessly rush out but instead hid within the passage, avoiding the beast horde’s notice.
Wang Lu looked at the two who returned safely, and with a face full of excitent, said, "Are you guys alright?"
Chu Chen shook his head upon hearing this: "No worries. What’s the situation up ahead?"
"The beast horde is all gathered at the entrance. Teacher Sun Ming is leading three teams to hold them off temporarily. I believe reinforcents will arrive soon," Wang Lu explained solemnly.
At this mont, behind Chu Chen and the others, a nearly transparent ghostly apparition floated over.
If Captain Li were here, he would certainly recognize this apparition as the Ghost Shadow Soul that had fled while heavily injured.
Yet everyone’s attention was focused on the beast horde, entirely unaware of its arrival.
Since Chu Chen and his companion had just arrived, their position was conveniently close to the passage’s interior, nearest to the Ghost Shadow Soul.
The Ghost Shadow Soul had already reached behind the two, staring at them intently with eyes full of greed.
In its eyes, the young souls in front of it were the best nourishnt. By devouring them completely, its power could recover to over thirty percent.
Without hesitation, it phased its body directly towards Zhang Yuyan.
The reason it chose Zhang Yuyan was because her Soul Power was the strongest. By devouring her soul, it could eliminate the strongest combat power among this group and rapidly recover its own power.
The stronger the soul it devoured, the greater the benefits for itself.
Just as the Ghost Shadow Soul was about to enter Zhang Yuyan’s body, her body suddenly erupted with an astounding white light.
The Ghost Shadow Soul was irradiated by the white light, imdiately letting out a piercing scream. Its body once again beca transparent, its aura dimming noticeably.
It looked at Zhang Yuyan with terror, its eyes filled with horror.
The Ghost Shadow Soul’s scream instantly caught everyone’s attention.
The white light on Zhang Yuyan’s body surface had not yet dissipated; instead, it was growing stronger.
When everyone saw the Ghost Shadow Soul, their expressions instantly changed.
A feeling of lingering fear arose in their hearts involuntarily.
When did this creature appear, and how did it remain so silent, truly eerie and unpredictable?
Chu Chen felt it most deeply. If the Ghost Shadow Soul had attacked him first, he would surely have died.
Zhang Yuyan’s identity was very special, and she naturally had many life-saving items on her.
This Star Beast in front of him was sothing he saw for the first ti. For safety’s sake, he decisively summoned the Slaughter Atlas to check the opponent’s information.

Looking at the Ghost Shadow Soul’s information, Chu Chen’s expression beca extrely grave.
This Star Beast in front of him was actually a rare Undead Elent, and furthermore, its power had reached the Lord Level.
However, its aura was extrely weak, clearly heavily injured.
"Everyone be careful. This is an Undead Elent Star Beast. Its tactics are exceedingly bizarre, and it’s very powerful. Make sure to use long-range skills for attacking; don’t get close to it."
Chu Chen shared all the information he had discovered in a rush.
Everyone’s expressions beca exceedingly grave upon hearing this.
At this mont, Zhang Yuyan stepped out of the crowd, a rare trace of anger appearing on her usually emotionless face.
Had it not been for the life-saving asures she carried, the Ghost Shadow Soul’s attack earlier would have been enough to kill her, making her unable to contain her rage.
Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly advised, "Don’t be impulsive. Let’s deal with it together."
Zhang Yuyan waved her hand upon hearing this and said, "No need, it can’t hurt ." Saying that, she charged towards the Ghost Shadow Soul.
Witnessing this, everyone was visibly shocked, viewing Zhang Yuyan’s actions as a sure path to death.
But an unbelievable scene left everyone dumbfounded.
The Ghost Shadow Soul, seeing Zhang Yuyan rushing over, actually turned and fled, like a mouse seeing a cat.
Zhang Yuyan coldly said, "Trying to flee? Too late." With that, she retrieved a tal sphere from the Spatial Ring.
Chu Chen was montarily stunned upon seeing this; the tal sphere was a Star Core Bomb.
However, given her resources, possessing such an item wasn’t surprising.
After triggering the Star Core Bomb, Zhang Yuyan directly threw it towards the Ghost Shadow Soul.
As soon as the Star Core Bomb hit the ground, it exploded imdiately.
The narrow space of the passage left the creature unable to escape despite its speed.
Thick white light instantly enveloped the Ghost Shadow Soul.
The piercing screams echoed within the passage, leaving everyone feeling a chilling sensation down their spines.
Once the white light faded away, the Ghost Shadow Soul had beco nearly transparent, as though it would vanish at any mont.
Zhang Yuyan retrieved another Starburst Grenade upon seeing this and hurled it towards the Ghost Shadow Soul.
Chu Chen hurriedly intervened, saying, "Wait, leave the rest to . Using a Starburst Grenade on it is too wasteful." Saying this, he unleashed ’Soul Spike’ towards the Ghost Shadow Soul.
At this mont, the Ghost Shadow Soul was in a critical state, already losing its ability to flee from Chu Chen’s attack.
’Soul Spike’ directly pierced into the Ghost Shadow Soul’s head, eliciting a final wretched scream before it completely dissipated.
"Plop"
A Star Core the size of an adult’s fist fell to the ground.
Chu Chen quickly picked up the Star Core and handed it to Zhang Yuyan.
She gave it a glance before waving her hand and saying, "You killed it; you keep it."
Chu Chen had no choice but to reluctantly accept it. This was a Lord Level Star Core, and a rare Undead Elent one at that, worth millions of Alliance Coins just by itself.
"I’ll hold onto it for now, and we can split the proceeds after selling it," he said.
Zhang Yuyan waved her hand dismissively, "No need to be polite; consider it paynt for the last task."
Chu Chen didn’t argue further, carefully storing the Star Core away.
In truth, Chu Chen wasn’t trying to claim credit for the Star Core itself but rather interested in the Ghost Shadow Soul’s Talent.
Imbuing a Guardian Beast with such a Talent could yield unexpected results in battle.
At this mont, Ji Mingyue ca over to Zhang Yuyan’s side and inquired softly, "The Star Core Bomb you used just now, why does it look different from the ones I’ve seen before?"
Zhang Yuyan didn’t hide anything, and with a smile, she explained, "This Starburst Grenade is specially crafted. It’s made from a Light Elent Star Core, which has a potent effect against Undead Star Beasts."
Ji Mingyue finally understood, casting a look of envy towards Zhang Yuyan.
The Starburst Grenade itself was an extrely rare item, and this specially crafted version was even rarer, with its value being several tis that of the forr, truly an extravagant luxury.
