Chapter 282: Pig Demon Camp

"You are all good men, all good soldiers of mine, Meng Yifan, but your strength is limited; going out of the city to fight now is just throwing your lives away."

"You all listen to my orders: Second Grade Martial Artists will follow me out of the city to charge the formation, while First Grade Martial Artists will stay behind to defend the city. There are over a hundred thousand of the Monster Army outside, so don't worry about running out of monsters to kill; rest assured, there will be plenty of fighting ahead," Meng Yifan said.

Within the Imperial Guard Company, many still wanted to follow Meng Yifan into battle, but for soldiers, obeying orders is their Heaven-ordained duty; since Meng Yifan had issued the command, they had to execute it.

Zhang Shagen and the other Martial Artists of Second Grade and above stood behind Meng Yifan, while those of First Grade could only stand on the city walls, watching the experts of Second Grade and above continuously gathering around Meng Yifan.

These Imperial Guard Company soldiers who were not selected secretly swore in their hearts that they would cultivate even harder in the future to improve their strength as quickly as possible.

Lord Meng's strength was becoming increasingly powerful; if they, the Imperial Guard Company, did not improve their own strength, how could they protect Lord Meng's safety?

Time passed quickly, and soon it was dark. The Monster Army outside the city also began to eat, feeding on human flesh and blood, while inside Luolong City, the experts gathered by Meng Yifan were also eating the flesh and blood of the Demon Race.

The Demon Race eats humans, and humans eat Demon Beasts.

Neither race felt there was anything wrong with this. In the human perception, Demon Beasts are the same as Wild Beasts; once killed, they should be skinned and eaten. In the eyes of the Demon Race, humans are just "two-legged sheep"—their meat is delicate and tastes quite good.

The conflict between the Demon Race and humanity is a war fought to compete for the right to survive. In this great war, there is no good or evil, no right or wrong; there is only the law of the jungle, where the strong prey upon the weak.

The strong can dominate everything belonging to the weak, and the weak are only fit to become food for the strong.

Deep in the night, most of the Demon Race army had already rested, while Meng Yifan's group of experts had also conserved their energy and prepared their weapons and equipment.

At one o'clock in the morning, Meng Yifan waved his hand, and the elite squad of one hundred and eight people, all composed of experts of Second Grade and above, left Luolong County in silence under the worried gazes of those in the city, heading toward the Demon Race army.

Hu Dameng and three other Fourth Grade Beasts were each commanding their own tribes of the Monster Army, guarding the four directions of Luolong County. They were waiting for Lang Batian to arrive tomorrow to launch a total offensive and wipe out all the humans in Luolong County in one fell swoop.

Hu Dameng and the others never imagined that Meng Yifan would be so bold as to dare to leave the city under the cover of night to launch an attack against them.

Meng Yifan chose the south gate, which was guarded by pig-type Demon Beasts; his plan was to concentrate all his experts to take out Zhu Ganglie first.

Zhu Ganglie was a Level 4 Intermediate Demon Beast. As long as everything went smoothly, Meng Yifan was confident he could quickly kill Zhu Ganglie before Hu Dameng and the others could react.

Killing a Fourth Grade Beast would cause Meng Yifan's Experience Value to skyrocket. Moreover, the entire body of a Fourth Grade Beast is a treasure; its fresh blood contains powerful blood energy, which is a necessity for Kong Sanqiang to break through to the Fourth Grade.

The Demon Core could be used to help Zhang Sanfeng recover his cultivation, the scales and armor could be crafted into tough armor, the claws and teeth could be made into sharp Dharma Artifacts, and the Monster Beast Meat could strengthen the body and help Martial Artists break through their cultivation.

It could be said that killing high-level Demon Beasts was a highly profitable endeavor for Meng Yifan.

Meng Yifan gripped the Array Disk, and wisps of faint black Qi shrouded everyone around him.

This layer of black Qi could mask the sounds of Meng Yifan and his group's movements, making it difficult for the sentries of the Demon Race army to easily discover them.

"Ahead is the camp of the pig-type Demon Beasts. Everyone be careful. Zhu Ganglie is in that largest tent in the middle. Our goal is to kill this Fourth Grade Beast. I, Lang Jiao, and Meng Shuangdao will surround and kill Zhu Ganglie, while the others intercept the other pig demons."

"We must finish this quickly, kill Zhu Ganglie with the fastest speed possible, and then retreat immediately. Does everyone remember?"

Meng Yifan whispered his battle plan, and Meng Dayong and the others nodded one after another.

Once everything was ready, Meng Yifan controlled the Array Disk and led everyone toward the Pig Demon Camp.

The layer of black Qi released by Meng Yifan could shield them from the perception of Demon Race members below the Third Grade, but if they got within ten meters of a Level Three beast, they would still be detected. Therefore, Meng Yifan and his group walked very carefully, trying their best to avoid Level Three beasts.

If they were discovered by a Level Three beast prematurely, it would no longer be a sneak attack, but a direct assault on the camp of tens of thousands of the Demon Race army, and the difficulty would increase geometrically.

If it truly came to that situation, Meng Yifan would have no choice but to abandon the decapitation strike, retreat first, and find another opportunity to fight again.

Meng Yifan and his group had already entered the Pig Demon Camp. The stench here was overwhelming, and it was messy everywhere, just like a giant pigsty.

Inside the camp, pig demons could be seen lying on the ground snoring loudly everywhere.

In the corners, there were also some energetic pig demons who, despite it being so late, were still grunting and engaged in indescribable activities, working hard to propagate the next generation of pig demons.

Compared to humans, the most terrifying thing about the Demon Race is their horrific reproductive ability. Humans have a ten-month gestation period and, under normal circumstances, can only give birth to one child. Pig demons are different; they can generally give birth after three or four months of pregnancy, and one litter can produce about ten piglets. Such a reproductive speed is something humans cannot hope to match.

Zhu Ganglie stood four meters tall, taller than a single-story building, with shoulders two meters wide, a body length of five meters, and a weight of six or seven tons. Standing up, it was comparable to a heavy truck.

Because Zhu Ganglie's body was so large, the tent it lived in was naturally very large as well—fifteen meters high and one hundred meters in diameter—making it very conspicuous within the Pig Demon Camp.

After Meng Yifan and his group entered the Pig Demon Camp, it didn't take long for them to see the giant tent located in the middle, but the closer they got to the large tent, the more high-level pig demons there were around it.

In some places, especially around the perimeter of the tent, there were actually eight Level Three pig demons scattered in all directions, as if they were Zhu Ganglie's personal bodyguards.

It became very difficult for Meng Yifan to lead everyone forward stealthily.

Meng Yifan led the group forward another thirty meters; they were now only a little over one hundred meters away from the large tent. Any further forward and they would be discovered by the Level Three pig demons.

Standing here, Meng Yifan and the others could hear a series of grunting sounds from inside the large tent, and they could also see from the shadows on the tent that Zhu Ganglie was engaged in intense physical combat with nine plump and sturdy sows.

One against nine—Zhu Ganglie's stamina was truly formidable.

"Everyone concentrate your firepower. A volley of rocket launchers first, take out the eight Level Three pig demons outside, then you all open fire at full capacity to hold off the surrounding pig demons."

"Meng Shuangdao, Lang Jiao, come with me to kill Zhu Ganglie. This battle must be finished quickly. When I say retreat, you must follow me and withdraw immediately," Meng Yifan stated his tactical arrangement.
