Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2080: Chapter 215: First Battle! A Glorious Victory (Part 2)

No choice, although their individual strength is quite good, if they were surrounded by the demon army, they still wouldn’t stand a chance. Moreover, this is still deep within demon territory; if their tracks were discovered, even if they initially managed to escape, the subsequent troubles would be endless. For the sake of safety and prudence, they could only avoid the sharp edge.

However, with all this digging and detouring, their speed was naturally delayed, so they still haven’t managed to get back to the East Line Defense Zone.

During the travel gaps, the two had cleared through the two storage rings left by the old man and Young Master Ming Sha.

Honestly, one of them was a Transcendent Void Demon King, the other the heir of the Demon God of Darkness and Kill, their statuses were extremely high, and the good things in their storage rings were really plenty.

Mo Luo Demon King is considered relatively poor in the Void Realm; he only had one Dao-level item on him, yet had several spare divine spiritual treasures in his storage ring, as well as some materials emitting demonic Qi that seemed quite high-grade. Although neither of them could use them, they could take them back and exchange for quite a number of merit points.

As for Young Master Ming Sha’s storage ring, it had even more good things, with just demonic artifacts alone totaling two pieces, and lots of pills emitting strong demonic Qi, along with some bizarre daily items, and many exquisite utensils carved from unknown bones, clearly collectibles at first glance.

The two highly suspected these utensils might also include human bone-made ones.

Obviously, they couldn’t take all these things back for merit points exchange because their deeds of taking down Mo Luo Demon King and obtaining the Dark True Demon Seed couldn’t be concealed if they did so. Hence, the two sorted their spoils.

Common items, like materials and divine spiritual treasures, would be taken back for merit points exchange, and when the time came, both could split quite a stash.

As for the various types of Dan medicine, including the previously acquired [Nether Purple Gold Lotus] from Scarlet Demonic King Fort, well, those undoubtedly ended up in Wang Licui’s stomach. Relying on her Gluttonous Bloodline, she was downing pills like candy, each mouthful was like a snack along the way, and she had nearly finished them.

Lan Wanyi and the Trashy Rat, as major contributors, naturally also got a considerable share, almost to the point of being stuffed.

Apart from these, those with very distinct features and conspicuous troublesome ones, like demonic artifacts, were kept aside for now.

Wang Licui planned to find an opportunity to send these items back to the family for her Fourth Uncle to handle. At that time, she could have him exchange these into family contribution points for her, and perhaps even get some good items from the family’s treasury, which she could then share with Lan Wanyi and Trashy Rat.

As for the Dark True Demon Seed meant for Old Ancestor Longyan, it could also be sent home together to be transferred to Old Ancestor Longyan with Fourth Uncle’s help.

It could be said she arranged all the spoils perfectly.

“Big Sister Lici, what should we do next?” Lan Wanyi, looking at the situation inside the optical peeping mirror, couldn’t help but frown, “The terrain around here is wide open and nearly devoid of cover, once we go out, it’s easy to be spotted, even detouring is hardly feasible.”

Wang Licui too was a bit puzzled, finally she conceded in frustration, “Fine~ Let’s continue underground. Slow is slow; it’s at least safe.”

Speaking, she looked at the Big Mouse beside her, “Trashy Rat, I’ll have to trouble you a bit more~”

“Squeak squeak whimper~”

Upon hearing it had to dig again, Trashy Rat drooped its head mournfully, seemingly resigned to fate.

Though digging was its innate talent, doing it tirelessly like this would exhaust it, alright~ It grew tired, and not even the demonic Qi-filled pills could heal the emotional wounds.

“Alright, alright~ This time you truly did a great job.” Wang Licui stroked Trashy Rat’s large forehead, generously assuring, “A few magic pills couldn’t match your merits. Didn’t you like space crystal stones? After we return, I’ll go check the military treasury, and see if there are space crystal stones to exchange for one.”

“Squeak? Squeak, squeak!” (Really? Promise!)

Trashy Rat suddenly perked up, energetically digging holes.

To boost efficiency, it even summoned a team of normal demonic rats to assist in digging together.

With the help of these rat squads, Wang Licui and her companion’s return speed increased considerably.

The distance between them and the East Line Defense Zone started to slowly decrease.

…

Meanwhile, at the same time.

Near the East Line Defense Zone at [Shattered Stone Fortress], in [Ancient Demon Forest].

This forest has evidently existed for a long time, with towering ancient trees everywhere within. Nourished by dense demonic evil energy, the demon plants growing here were particularly thriving, among them quite some dangerous species.

Within the forest, snakes, insects, rats, and ants were ubiquitous, and even some fierce demonic beasts made it their home.

But strangely enough, at this moment, an entire battalion of five to six thousand men was laying ambush in a corner of Ancient Demon Forest, yet they seemed to have disappeared into thin air leaving no trace. They appeared to have merged seamlessly with the environment, with not a single breath revealed.

Furthermore, the surrounding snakes, insects, rats, ants, and various demonic beasts were seemingly undisturbed, continuing to enact a scene of the demonic world’s natural ecology, with hunting, breeding, and chasing.

The Seventh Battle Team Leader Yan Hongtian, upon seeing this situation initially, was utterly shocked and thrilled; even now, having calmed down, he remained awestruck.
