“Boss, there seems to have some noise over there.”

Hua Jian also heard it and he stopped to look over to the other side. Since they could hear the voices, it should not be far from them.

“You stay here and keep searching, Lu Jiu and I will go have a look.” Hua Jian gave the order.

“Yes.”

Hua Jian and Lu Jiu walked at full speed through the forest, and soon they arrived at the war zone.

There were quite a few people lying on the ground in disorder, and there were also some demons in their true shapes darting through the forest. A faint smell of blood floated in the air.

“Holy shit!” Lu Jiu was surprised enough to let out this language. “Why are there so many demons here?”

Hua Jian didn’t notice Lu Jiu’s exclamation. His attention had been drawn by the girl in pink standing in the middle of the battlefield, who stepped on a person and revealed her beautiful profile. A slight smile curled at her lips.

Beside her squatted a black and white hairy ball.

The picture was beyond weird.

“King, that woman escaped.”

One of the nearby demons reminded Ming Shu.

Ming Shu turned her head to look and happened to see Hua Jian, who stood quietly before a bunch of shrubs and was looking at her with a calm expression.

While Jian Ying, who was supposed to be tied up not far from his position, was now nowhere to be seen. Down on the ground were some torn ropes.

“You’re right on the time.” Ming Shu didn’t care that Jian Ying escaped and she shouted toward Hua Jian, “I’ve learned some interesting things, do you want to hear them?”

Hua Jian came over from the bushes and rested his eyes on Captain Sun. Naturally he knew this person.

Captain Sun was a little confused to hear Ming Shu’s words. She didn’t ask me anything just now, what has she learned?

“Captain Sun, why are you here?” Lu Jiu’s expression became a little serious. This man is from the headquarters.

They didn’t know Captain Sun had come with his men.

“Hua Jian,” Captain Sun breathed and questioned with harsh eyes, “are you with this demon?”

Who is with this psychopath.

Do I look like a man without aspirations?

Hua Jian asked Ming Shu calmly, “What did you learn?”

Ming Shu smiled. “Suddenly I don’t want to tell you.”

Hua Jian fumed and stared at Ming Shu angrily.

F**k, didn’t you ask me first? She’s definitely doing it on purpose!

Ming Shu looked back at him smilingly. Hua Jian refreshed his mind immediately after meeting her smile, and he quickly hid away his emotions.

“What’s... what’s happening here? Tao Xian, why are you...” Fighting against Captain Sun?

Lu Jiu couldn’t even utter a complete sentence. He was still a little dumbfounded.

Where did all of these demons come from?

Why is Captain Sun here?

Captain Sun is actually no match for Ming Shu...

Alas! Shit! It’s messy.

“We had a friendly fight,” Ming Shu answered with a smile, “but pitifully, this Captain Sun lost.”

“Tao Xian, he is...”

“It’s not important who he is, and I don’t want to know.” Ming Shu pulled back her foot, taking a bag of small steamed buns out of her pocket. “You should be careful yourselves. Don’t be like the fools that count money for your seller.”

Ming Shu prepared to leave, but Hua Jian caught her immediately. “What does that mean?”

Ming Shu turned to reveal a beaming smile. “I won’t tell you.”

Hua Jian: “...” He only needed one more move to choke her.

Ming Shu shook off Hua Jian and strolled into the forest with the remaining demons, disappearing.

[Additional Task: Gain Hatred Points from Sun Guomao.]

Ming Shu almost tripped over.

Which little demon is Sun Guomao? Do I know him?

[He is Captain Sun’s second uncle.]

Ming Shu: “...” What the hell?

Harmony System, you’re excellent!

How dare you give out such an unrelated mission target!

[For Hatred Points and for snacks, Guest, we can make it.]

Ming Shu: “...”

The Harmony System is really one of a kind.

I’m totally convinced.

...

Captain Sun didn’t expect Ming Shu to leave like this. He stood up with an ugly expression and glanced at Hua Jian. “What demon is she? There are so many demons all over here, Hua Jian, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation.”

Hua Jian retained a calm face. “Captain Sun, why did you come here?”

Captain Sun was silent all at once.

Captain Sun came here for the demon core in the forest. He brought people here immediately after he received the news.

He naturally couldn’t tell this to Hua Jian as he brought people here in secret, and he only contacted Mengjie before.

“Hua Jian, what’s important now is that demon and all of those demons she gathered.” Captain Sun changed the topic and said in a deep voice, “Didn’t you notice that so many demons gathered together? Don’t forget you’re a leader here!”

“Since you won’t tell me, Captain Sun, I’ll have to report this to the headquarters. Perhaps you can think well how you should explain to the headquarters why you’re in an area under my jurisdiction.”

Hua Jian’s voice was as calm as an emotionless machine, as if he was reading the lines according to the text.

Captain Sun changed his expression a bit. He had a fast brainstorm in his mind and then suddenly questioned, “Why are you here then?”

“It’s my jurisdiction area, so what’s the problem of my being here?”

Captain Sun: “...” He suddenly appeared so it was indeed hard to explain, but he needed to find an excuse now. And that woman Mengjie, he should warn her not to talk wildly.

Captain Sun looked at Mengjie, who was lying on the ground in a coma. Everything originally went well today, and the demon core was indeed in the vicinity.

“Bring Captain Sun back.” Hua Jian gave the order to Lu Jiu. “And tell the others to come. An Zhiling has been found, we’ll go back.”

“Boss, Sister Jian Ying is still missing,” Lu Jiu reminded him.

“I’ll take two people to look for her, and you go back first.”

...

After the escape, Jian Ying ran all the way into the deep forest and didn’t know how long she kept running. The thistles and thorns cut streaks of blood on her body and face.

She slowed down as she looked back. It was quiet in the forest and no one was chasing her.

After confirming that no one was behind her, Jian Ying stopped and leaned against a big tree, gasping.

Jian Ying thought even if she couldn’t get that thing, she wouldn’t allow the female protagonist to get it and please the male protagonist.

But she didn’t expect to meet such a situation.

After taking a short break, Jian Ying looked around.

A demon’s power was condensed into the demon core. Under this forest was buried a big demon’s demon core. The male protagonist turned into the shape of a cat because he was injured, so he needed the demon core to recover, but Captain Sun and those people...

Honestly, Jian Ying didn’t know why they needed the demon core, either. Because she didn’t read the ending of that book.

Jian Ying tried to continue looking for that demon core. However, the forest was so huge, and without any help of the tool, she just wanted to give up after walking for a while.

Whizzing—

Something flew toward her from behind. Jian Ying was startled, fine hairs rising, and she threw herself to the ground, rolling into the nearby grass.

Dong—

The knife cut into the trunk, trembling.

Jian Ying swallowed some air. Is someone trying to kill me? Who is it? Tao Xian?

No... not Tao Xian. If she wanted to kill me, she would have done it back then, and she also said she won’t kill me.

Although Jian Ying also thought it was a little unreliable, she actually believed in her.

It was unnecessary for her to lie to me when she could simply kill me.

Jian Ying lay on the ground on her stomach and didn’t dare to move. She looked around again cautiously, cold sweat soaking through her clothes, and she could barely breathe.

Silence like the dead.

There seemed to be no living being in the entire forest.

At the same time, in the grass nearby, Hua Jian was pressed to the ground by Ming Shu with the latter astride him, lowering her body slightly. The two figures were blocked by the tall grass. “Why do you want to kill her?”

Hua Jian was speechless. “Didn’t you leave?”

If I left, you would have killed her!

That’s my snack coupon!

Why do you like to kill my coupons!

Ming Shu smiled. “Answer my question.”
