For the demonic rooster, the current situation was this…
Who dared to claim they were the strongest?
Who dared to claim they were invincible?
And who was putting on such an act?
Deftly leaping from Lin Fan's arms, its chicken feet landed steadily. It didn't bother with the commotion and instead ran towards the side. It was afraid and didn't want to go in the direction they were headed.
That was the final sound, the last warning from its fellow demonic beings.
Don't go if you don't want to die.
As a demonic undercover agent, it was aware of all dangers. Facing humans, it needed to demonstrate its greatest value, to let them see its worth, so it could qualify to live among them, breathing the freshest air.
"Hen, don't run!"
Lin Fan was momentarily stunned, then chased after the rooster. Immediately following, Old Zhang followed behind Lin Fan, determined to stay close.
The nine City Guardian level experts watched in astonishment.
"Is this the Yanhai City expert the leader mentioned? He doesn't seem that reliable." Double Gun King Li Dacheng muttered to himself.
Many experts came from the Four Academies, but other smaller academies would also produce a notable figure every few decades. This Double Gun King Li Dacheng was an expert from a smaller academy.
Because of his existence, this small academy could rank within the top fifty.
One person propping up an entire academy was enough to show how difficult it was to survive in the smaller academies these days.
"Dacheng, follow them. Old Xia instructed us to watch over them and ensure they don't get into trouble." Qin Han hadn't placed his hopes on Lin Fan from the beginning. Young people needed more experience; reputations built on the praise of others were ultimately false.
"But what about you all…?"
Li Dacheng felt that this mission wasn't so simple. The absence of even one person could lead to unforeseen circumstances, so he didn't want to fall behind.
Qin Han waved confidently, "No worries, the eight of us are enough. What demonic being could possibly be our match? Go find them and don't let them wander off. If they stumble into a demonic nest, the consequences would be dire."
"Alright."
Li Dacheng didn't say more and chased after Lin Fan and the others in the direction they had gone.
"Let's continue. As I said, young people need experience. That young lad is still a bit green. How can he run off on his own in such a dangerous place?" Qin Han said helplessly.
The others just smiled without commenting.
Although they felt Lin Fan was a bit strange, they didn't have any objections. Just the fact that this young man dared to come here with them was enough to show his courage was undeniable.
For any member, the most important quality was often not strength, but courage.
Over the years, they had seen it all.
Some juniors, clearly stronger than the demonic beings they faced, lacked courage and were almost killed by them. Such situations were not uncommon.
It was understandable.
Generally, demonic beings were well-rounded, possessing speed, strength, and explosive power. Some were also adept at disguising, hiding, and ambushing.
Those with weak courage and resolve could be scared witless, affecting their ability to utilize their true strength.
As they got closer, the eight City Guardian level experts noticed the deteriorating environment.
There were more and more demonic corpses.
"What's going on? The department hasn't organized any demonic being hunts recently, have they?" Qin Han asked.
At a glance, there were at least several hundred demonic corpses.
Moreover, judging by their condition, the time of death wasn't long ago, possibly within the last half month.
"No, it's been a long time since we organized a clearing of wild demonic beings. Everyone be careful. I have a bad feeling about this."
"Do you smell that oppressive scent in the air?"
"Indeed."
"Don't you think the situation just now was strange? The demonic pet he keeps is most sensitive to other demonic beings. Is it possible that it sensed danger and ran away in fright?"
This City Guardian level expert hit the nail on the head.
And what he said was completely accurate.
That was exactly the situation.
Everyone stood in place, pondering this, feeling that it made a lot of sense. It seemed that was indeed the case.
Qin Han pondered for a moment, then said solemnly, "Even if that's the case, there's nothing we can do. We've already come this far, we can't just turn back. Besides, with our strength, eight City Guardian level experts, even if we encounter a Heavenly King level demonic being, we can still put up a fight. But honestly, it's been many years since I've encountered a Heavenly King level demonic being."
"Our goal is to find Senior Baiyun."
What he said made sense.
That was their main objective for this trip.
"Brother Qin is right. Indeed, with our strength, even if we encounter danger, we can handle it with ease. Besides, we're not here looking for trouble."
The speaker was Qi Bagua, an expert from the Maoshan Academy. He held a compass in his hand, occasionally glancing at it and saying, "Follow my steps. The path I'm taking has a profound origin and will definitely ensure our safety."
Everyone exchanged glances.
Others might not know his habits, but those who had been with him for so long understood him well.
It was fine to fool youngsters.
But there was no need to deceive them.
"Let's go!"
After a brief discussion, the eight City Guardian level experts reached a consensus and continued forward.
In the distance, the demonic rooster ran as fast as its legs could carry it, wishing it could fly. Danger, real danger. It could already sense the impending crisis.
Demons are supposed to be a family.
Who dares to disrupt our harmonious community?
Even I, a demonic hero, can't stand for this.
Damn it.
If I, the demonic rooster, didn't have a more important mission, striving for the future of demonkind, I would really like to teach this kindred-slaying scoundrel a lesson.
After reaching a safe place, the demonic rooster uttered the most domineering words.
Just as the demonic rooster was fuming over this matter, Lin Fan pounced from afar and scooped it into his arms.
"Hen, why did you suddenly run off? Do you know how dangerous it is for you to wander around?"
Lin Fan stroked the rooster's head and said.
"Cluck, cluck..." The demonic rooster, trapped in his embrace, cried out unwillingly.
Lin Fan stroked the demonic rooster's smooth feathers, "I know you want to go for a walk, but we need to find someone. How about we go for a walk after we find them?"
"Cluck, cluck."
The demonic rooster squawked, but the sound it made was always a cluck. Even with its chicken eyes wide open, it couldn't stop Lin Fan from misinterpreting its meaning.
After catching up, Li Dacheng saw the demonic being's agitated state and felt a hint of fear. A sudden realization dawned on him, and his expression changed drastically.
This was a demonic being.
The senses of demonic beings were very keen.
They were heading forward, but this demonic pet ran to the side. Didn't that mean there was danger ahead?
Thinking of this, Li Dacheng could no longer remain calm.
"Let's go, we need to go over there and check it out."
"Get off!"
"Get off me!" the demonic rooster squawked. Held in Lin Fan's arms, it thrashed its claws wildly. Its intentions were simple: to run, to escape, to fly far, far away, taking Lin Fan along with it.
But how could he be going towards the danger?
This was extremely dangerous behavior.
"Holy crap!"
"Holy crap, all of you humans!" the demonic rooster wailed inwardly, cursing humanity's ancestors for eighteen generations. Couldn't they see that a great demonic hero was trying to save their lives?
How could they not cherish this?
If the demonic rooster could speak human language, it would definitely berate Lin Fan to the point where even his ancestors wouldn't recognize him.
After running for a while, Li Dacheng stopped, thinking about the other man's situation. He spoke frankly, "You go to the plane and wait for us there."
He sensed from the demonic creature's behavior around Lin Fan that they might encounter trouble.
He couldn't say for sure what kind of trouble.
Perhaps he was overthinking it.
But perhaps it was truly a huge problem.
He hoped he was overthinking it.
At this moment, Lin Fan squatted down, hoisted Old Zhang onto his back, and quickly started running forward.
"Old Zhang, do you feel anything?" Lin Fan asked.
Old Zhang, clinging to Lin Fan's neck, replied, "What?"
"The desire to fight is surging." Lin Fan's blood boiled. Perhaps, like the demonic creature, he could sense the unusual atmosphere.
Li Dacheng hurriedly said, "Lin Fan, go to the airport and wait for us. The danger ahead is unknown. If you go, you'll likely hold us back."
As soon as he spoke, he realized he had been too blunt.
Regardless, Lin Fan was a foreign expert invited by Leader Xu. Face had to be given. Being too direct would not only offend him but also make people think that the people of Xia Du were impolite.
Discussing face with a mentally unstable person was certainly an interesting idea.
"Old Zhang and I absolutely will not hold you back." Lin Fan, still running, glanced back with a bright smile, hoping the other man would understand his intentions.
He wasn't the type to cause trouble for others.
Li Dacheng didn't say anything more.
He felt that saying too much…
Really wasn't good.
Since that was the case, he would let Lin Fan follow. After all, they didn't know the specific situation. Who could say for sure if something would happen? Besides, there was another issue involved. If nothing happened and he persuaded Lin Fan to go back, and those old geezers found out, there would definitely be misunderstandings.
They would think he shied away from danger.
Is this the expert from Yanhai City?
Is this the expert Leader Xu personally invited?
Thinking it over carefully, it made sense. It was easy to end up in a no-win situation.
Don't be so much of a good guy that you end up in a mess. You're trying to be helpful, but the situation could take an unexpected turn, and you'd be screwed.
As they drew closer…
Crackling sounds came through.
The sounds of battle.
Li Dacheng's expression turned serious. He knew something was happening. He took the dual guns from his back, pressed the buttons, and shhhck, the short rods extended into long guns.
Then, he leaped into the air like an eagle spreading its wings, soaring across the sky. From afar, he saw the situation.
"How could this be?"
Although he only glanced briefly, he understood what was happening.
As expected, a terrifying demonic creature had appeared.
Only Qin Han was left, struggling to hold on.
Qi Bagua, the Maoshan expert who had previously declared this path to be significant, was slumped against a rock, eyes wide, unconscious. Even his compass, used to fool children, was shattered into pieces.
Bang!
The enormous humanoid demonic creature, clad in armor, swung its dark halberd, a black streak flashing through the air, sending Qin Han flying backward.
"Brother Qin, I'm here to help you!"
Li Dacheng roared, his dual guns held with imposing might. With each move, he displayed a set of exquisite and powerful gun techniques.
"Thousand Miles Frozen!"
The dual guns formed an impenetrable barrage. The surrounding temperature plummeted under his influence, and snowflakes began to fall. As the snowflakes landed on the demonic creature's armor, they instantly turned into frost, gradually covering it.
But the demonic creature shook its body violently, shattering the ice. It raised its halberd high and swung it fiercely at Li Dacheng.
"Scatter! This demonic creature's power is terrifying!" Qin Han shouted.
Li Dacheng's face paled. He pointed the tips of his dual guns precisely at the halberd. Boom! At the moment of impact, a tremendous force surged through him, cracking the ground. Li Dacheng had never encountered a demonic creature with such astonishing strength.
He used a special force-dispersing technique.
He slid one foot across the ground, forming a Tai Chi diagram that erupted in white light. But against this demonic creature, it offered no resistance. Unable to withstand the immense force, his body flew backward, crashing into the distance.
Qin Han caught Li Dacheng, and the two hastily retreated before they could steady themselves.
Pfft!
Blood trickled from the corner of Li Dacheng's mouth. He exclaimed in shock, "Where did this demonic creature come from? How can it be so strong?"
He wasn't the only one shocked. Qin Han was equally dumbfounded.
"Who would have known such a demonic creature was hiding here?"
Li Dacheng asked, "Where's Senior Baiyun?"
Qin Han pointed to a deep pit ahead. "He went down there. He was just dragged in. Senior Baiyun used the Sword Tomb technique, which is temporarily impenetrable, but this terrifying demonic creature is guarding it."
When they arrived, they saw Senior Baiyun hovering above the deep pit.
He used the Sword Tomb as a protective technique. Just as they were about to rescue him, this demonic creature emerged from the pit and severely injured one of their companions with brutal force.
They knew the situation was dire.
They prepared to take the injured person and leave, but just as they went to rescue another, a second person was critically wounded. This demonic creature was intelligent, and not just a little. It knew who to target first.
First, the Buddhist expert, then the medical expert.
This completely disrupted their rhythm.
It put them at a disadvantage from the very beginning.
"Brother Li, take them and leave. When you get back, make sure headquarters dispatches a Heaven King level expert. This demonic creature hiding here is a great danger. No matter what, we must have a Heaven King level expert find the time to come and rescue us."
"Also, I've discovered that this demonic creature might have a problem. It may not be entirely demonic."
Qin Han had noticed this issue while fighting it.
Then Qi Bagua reminded him.
There was something wrong with this demonic creature.
He had used a golden talisman, but its power against the demonic creature was halved. This talisman was specifically designed to harm demonic creatures based on their aura, unless the demonic creature had human blood.
Modern cultivation was scientific.
Genetic destruction.
Genetic damage.
His golden talisman was meant to specifically target and damage the demonic creature's genes. But now the damage was greatly reduced, which could only mean that there was a serious problem with this demonic creature.
And just then…
A scene that shocked them even more unfolded.
Lin Fan, holding the hen, slowly walked up to the demonic creature, looked up, and calmly said:
"Hello."
