Chapter 777: Unexpected Trouble (Second Update, requesting everything)

"After we resolve this large barracks, should we change locations?"

At the thought that the Demon Commander might still be wandering nearby, Wu Zetao could not help but feel a bit of fear; after all, this was an existence that could threaten his life.

"Given the strength of this Abyss Gate, there is more than one Demon Commander here. Even if we change locations, we might still encounter another Demon Commander!"

Li Zhangsheng shook his head and continued, "Besides, it is possible that this Demon Commander has already left after killing the contestants from the Hetu Kingdom. All we can do is be as careful as possible to avoid encountering a Demon Commander."

While speaking, Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen quickly activated the Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing Secret Technique to observe the environment within a radius of several dozen miles, searching for traces of the Demon Commander.

After observing the area, the two withdrew their gazes. After exchanging a look, Li Zhangsheng said, "There shouldn't be a Demon Commander nearby. Of course, if it is a Demon Commander with powerful Breath Concealment abilities or a petite physique, it is also possible that it could evade our observation."

Wu Zetao breathed a slight sigh of relief. After observing the nearby scenery, he pointed to a mountain hollow in the distance and said, "That's good. Look, everyone, that is where the large Demon Barracks is stationed!"

Li Zhangsheng gazed at the distant mountain hollow. Thanks to the Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing Secret Technique, he could observe the scene there quite clearly.

Judging by the footprint of the barracks, just as Wu Zetao said, it was indeed a large Demon Barracks, and a large number of demons existed there.

As creatures of the chaotic evil alignment, demons do not like to follow rules. Except for not being able to leave the barracks without permission, they could be said to have no scruples. Li Zhangsheng saw several pairs of demons fighting or working hard to 'make people' in the barracks.

In broad daylight, without any cover, and even being watched by countless demons while 'making people', the watching demons would get in the mood and casually pull over a female demon nearby, or even a male demon -_-||

Beside him, Ning Bizhen spat softly, her face flushing with a bit of redness, bright and moving; clearly, she had also seen the scene unsuitable for children.

"Ahem, this barracks has about eight Great Demons and fifty or sixty high-level demons."

After a long while, Li Zhangsheng withdrew his gaze and stated the intelligence he had gathered.

Wu Zetao was very satisfied and then asked, "Brother Li, the same old method?"

The old method he spoke of was naturally the method used last time when they joined forces to deal with a large Demon Barracks.

Last time, three Top-tier Pseudo-Kings used tunnels dug by Spirit-Eating Rats to sneak into a large Demon Barracks, then suddenly erupted when they approached several Great Demons, using a near-ambush method to kill several Great Demons, directly triggering chaos.

"Agreed!"

Li Zhangsheng agreed. Although this method was more time-consuming, it had the advantage of being steady, which could minimize casualties while killing more demons.

Over these past two days, as more than two hundred Heavenly Prides from the Southern Region frantically slaughtered demons, the number of demons here had been reduced by more than half, and finding demons that met the requirements was becoming increasingly difficult.

The Demon Barracks Li Zhangsheng had captured last time was only half a day ago.

Wu Zetao was not the first to discover this large Demon Barracks, but others were troubled by a lack of strength and could only choose to give up in the end.

After deciding on the plan, the group came to a relatively hidden place not far from the mountain hollow and began to implement the plan.

Li Zhangsheng shook his Monster Pet Bag and released the Spirit-Eating Rat.

The Spirit-Eating Rat immediately took action; even hard mountain rock was no different from tofu under its claws.

In the blink of an eye, the Spirit-Eating Rat disappeared from everyone's sight.

While the Spirit-Eating Rat was digging, Li Zhangsheng was also constantly paying attention to its movements to avoid it encountering danger.

The types of demons are strange and varied, and naturally, there are some demons among them that are good at digging; it was not impossible for the Spirit-Eating Rat to encounter danger.

However, demons are ultimately chaotic creatures with no order to speak of; unless it encountered demons that lived underground for a long time, the Spirit-Eating Rat would almost never encounter danger.

After half an hour, the Spirit-Eating Rat poked its head out again.

In just half an hour, the Spirit-Eating Rat had dug a sturdy tunnel a thousand meters long and over a meter wide, leading directly to the mountain hollow.

This was only possible because of the Spirit-Eating Rat; if ordinary people were to dig such a tunnel, even with suitable tools, it would take many people several days and nights of digging.

"You all stay here on guard. Once we launch an attack, come immediately to wipe out the demons."

Before entering the tunnel, Li Zhangsheng gave instructions to his four Sixth Rank companions, including Zhao Rui.

The reason for not bringing them along was mainly that the fewer the people, the less likely they were to be exposed.

After entering the underground tunnel, the Spirit-Eating Rat led the way. To avoid being detected by the demons, the three of them tried their best to restrain their respective auras.

Not long after, the three arrived at the end of the tunnel.

They were only one step away from finishing the digging. At Li Zhangsheng's signal, the Spirit-Eating Rat began to dig upward.

In just a few strokes, the brightness of the pitch-black tunnel rose sharply; the Spirit-Eating Rat had completed the digging.

Their luck was very good, and they were not immediately discovered by the demons.

Li Zhangsheng poked his head out, carefully observing the surrounding environment, and soon determined his location.

It was not far from the center of the barracks, but the demon barracks was a mess, and there were no patrolling soldiers on guard at all.

Li Zhangsheng withdrew the Spirit-Eating Rat, transmitted a few words to Ning Bizhen and Wu Zetao, and then crawled out of the underground tunnel.

Just as the three of them crawled out of the underground tunnel, a Berserker Demon happened to pass by. The moment it saw the three, it was stunned for a moment, then immediately showed a greedy expression and rushed toward the three excitedly.

The three were all Pseudo-Kings, and the quality of their souls far exceeded that of ordinary people. For demons that loved souls, they were simply delicious, and they also had a certain help for the improvement of their strength.

As the Berserker Demon rushed over, Li Zhangsheng suddenly disappeared. By the time he reappeared, he was already behind the Berserker Demon.

Crack!

Before the Berserker Demon could react, Li Zhangsheng grabbed its head and twisted it hard.

Li Zhangsheng's strength was so great that the Berserker Demon's head made a direct 360° rotation, and after rushing forward a few steps, it collapsed limply to the ground.

Due to the sound of the Berserker Demon when it launched its attack, this naturally attracted the attention of some demons.

"Attack!"

Before these demons could come to investigate, Li Zhangsheng resolutely summoned Aixi, Kailan, and Roundy.

He shook his Monster Pet Bag again and released the Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon, the Heavenly Heavy-Pupil Bird, and Xier Yasina.

Ning Bizhen and Wu Zetao also each summoned three Demon Beasts. Under the command of the three, the twelve Demon Beasts launched a fierce offensive toward the center of the barracks together.

For a time, the earth shook, mixed with the screams of countless demons. It was unknown how many demons fell under this round of powerful offensive, including Great Demons.

Just as the offensive was launched here, Zhao Rui and the other three immediately rushed toward the mountain hollow according to the plan, preparing to join the battle.

Just at this moment, a petite figure suddenly rushed toward them from several miles away. Its speed was extremely fast, and before Zhao Rui and the other three could rush into the Demon Barracks, it appeared behind one of the contestants from the Shayi Kingdom.

This Shayi Kingdom contestant had not yet had time to react when he felt a sharp pain in his chest. A ferocious claw pierced directly through his chest and came out from the front, holding a violently beating heart in its small claw.
