Chapter 62: Damn it, he really deserves to die!

Zhou Chu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly felt relieved.

These Thorn-Spirit Ghost Soldiers were originally members of the assassination squad under Gadi's command.

Although they were of the lowest rank within the assassination squad, their status was considered middle-tier within the Calamity Legion.

Ever since Gadi went to execute an invasion mission, the assassination squad had been left without a leader.

They had once fought as individuals, but today it looked more like a premeditated and planned operation.

Suddenly seeing their direct superior appear, these Thorn-Spirit Ghost Soldiers were naturally excited, and at the same time, they had a bellyful of grievances they wanted to pour out.

"Commander, after you left, we were all assigned under the command of Lord Ni Made. These days, we have been living a life worse than death!"

"Commander, that Lord Ni Made is not as considerate of his subordinates as you are. He is extremely harsh to us; the slightest mistake and he will turn us into his food. Moreover, the missions assigned to us are the most dangerous and thankless ones. Many brothers have perished in those missions."

"That's right, Commander, we have been hoping to see you again and escape that Ni Made's control. Today, we were originally ordered to carry out an assassination mission; we never expected to run into you. This is truly a blessing from the heavens."

The Thorn-Spirit Ghost Soldiers spoke one after another, as if they had a sense of parting the clouds to see the sun.

In the Calamity Legion, there actually appeared the kind of atmosphere of communication found among humans.

Seeing this scene was indeed quite novel.

In fact, within the Calamity Legion, monsters that reach B-Grade or higher behave almost exactly like humans.

Although they are called monsters or evil spirits, they were actually living people before they died.

After being resurrected by Calamity Power, although they have become part of the Calamity Forces, to a certain extent, they still possess human thoughts.

They also get excited, angry, dissatisfied, fearful, and grumble when depressed.

However, although the Thorn-Spirit Ghost Soldiers are the lowest-ranking members of the assassination squad, to a certain extent, they were all carefully selected by Gadi from batches of dregs.

These members have always followed Commander Gadi, looking to him for guidance, and can be said to be loyal without exception.

Clearly, Gadi's prestige in the assassination squad is the greatest, and it seems he treated these members quite well.

Zhou Chu had always thought that the Calamity Forces were a heartless, cold, and indifferent existence that only knew how to kill and destroy.

He did not expect that there would be hierarchical relationships and emotional bonds similar to human society within them, which really surprised him.

But how could these subordinates know that their commander had long since abandoned darkness for light and was now a loyal servant of a human Soul Professional.

Even so, perhaps he could use these former subordinates to scout out some intelligence on the current No. 15 and No. 18 Demon Caves.

Thus, Zhou Chu assumed Gadi's identity to learn the situation from these Thorn-Spirit Ghost Soldiers.

These Thorn-Spirit Ghost Soldiers had been exploited by that Lord Ni Made for a long time, and the dissatisfaction in their hearts was like a surging, endless river.

Facing their direct superior, they would naturally tell him everything they knew without reservation.

According to the Thorn-Spirit Ghost Soldiers, the current No. 15 and No. 18 Demon Caves are guarded in rotation by several Lord-Class figures of the Ogre Legion.

This includes Lord Ni Made.

Moreover, this Lord Ni Made is cruel and heartless by nature; he treats his subordinates just as he treats human Soul Professionals—with extreme cruelty and ruthlessness.

When dealing with human prisoners of war, he usually tortures their souls first, then consumes their souls, and finally feeds on their flesh and blood.

Not only that, this Lord Ni Made has a special hobby: he is extremely lustful.

Among the many captured female Soul Professionals, those with some beauty all become his playthings.

Damn it, this guy really deserves to die!

Listening to these descriptions, a strong fire of rage surged in Zhou Chu's heart, and his fists clenched tightly without him realizing it.

However, a moment later, a Thorn-Spirit Ghost Soldier curved the Soul Fire in its eye sockets into crescent shapes and said fawningly to Zhou Chu,

"Commander, not far ahead, there is a squad of human Soul Professionals coming to provide support."

"Lord Ni Made ordered us to kill all the men inside and capture all the women alive."

"But since you have returned, Commander, those tender-skinned women shouldn't be left for that guy to enjoy."

"If you are willing, your subordinates will help you capture those women now, all for you to enjoy alone!"

"Although we know you favor Lady Lucita, human women are much more obedient than Lady Lucita."

When the other Thorn-Spirit Ghost Soldiers heard this, the Soul Fire in every one of their eye sockets turned into crescents, and in everyone's eyes, it seemed as if naked bodies had appeared.

Monsters are monsters after all; they will never walk the righteous path.

Zhou Chu had previously intended to reform them, but it seems it was all in vain.

These guys, just like that Lord Ni Made, all deserve to die!

Zhou Chu could no longer endure it; his body instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning, shuttling rapidly among these Thorn-Spirit Ghost Soldiers.

The next second, as if time had suddenly frozen, the expressions of these few Thorn-Spirit Ghost Soldiers solidified on the spot.

Immediately after, their heads rolled off their shoulders one after another, and their withered bodies collapsed to the ground in succession.

Endless Slaughter!

At the same time, the critical hit rate and critical damage were directly stacked to 80%.

Glancing at his nearly depleted Soul Power Value, Zhou Chu took out a bottle of Soul Power Potion from his Life Soul Artifact and drank it.

But it was merely a drop in the bucket, barely restoring his Soul Power Value to 30%.

"Click, click, click, clatter, clatter, clatter..."

At this moment, there was still one Thorn-Spirit Ghost Soldier on the scene whose head remained intact on its shoulders.

It now wore a look of terror, and the sound made by its whole body trembling was like a winnowing sieve.

If it were a normal person, it would probably have been scared into incontinence by now.

"Commander, I..."

This Thorn-Spirit Ghost Soldier looked at Zhou Chu as if it were looking at a death-dealing Grim Reaper; its very soul was almost flying away.

"Speak, is there any news about the Exorcism Army's Xiaolong Squad?"

Zhou Chu did not intend to waste time with these small Grunts; he pointed the Silence Blade in his hand at the other's chin and asked straight to the point.

The Soul Fire in the Thorn-Spirit Ghost Soldier's eye sockets flickered violently, and it hurriedly said: "Oh, yes, there is! The Xiaolong Squad has already fallen into several ambushes by Lord Ni Made and should be in the hinterland ahead right now."

"That is to say, near what humans call the No. 15 Demon Cave, it is estimated that almost everyone is about to die by now..."

Before the voice had even faded, the skull of this Spirit-Piercing Ghost Soldier flew far away.

"Aunt, you must not be harmed; I am coming to save you right now!"

Zhou Chu was burning with anxiety, his body once again vanishing into the void, shuttling toward the hinterland of the No. 15 Demon Cave.
