Chapter 212: If I Didn't Have This Important Mission, I'd Teach You a Lesson

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."
