Late at night.
The middle-aged woman stopped at a small hill with a few people. There was a man next to her. This man was none other than President Xiao. Zhu Yuehong was also at the side.
Apparently, after they heard the middle-aged woman’s report, they also left the city overnight.
“It changed its direction twice? In that case, the thing it was looking for might have appeared, but it might have disappeared for some reason or gone into hiding.” President Xiao speculated.
“I think that should be the case,” the middle-aged woman said.
President Xiao said, “At night, its ability became stronger. It’s a little difficult for you to track it down. You guys have been chasing it for several days. Take this opportunity to have a good rest. Have you guys seen its form?”
The middle-aged woman said, “No, its entire body is covered in red clothes. Its body shape is very similar to that of a human. It should be a demon in its metamorphosis period.”
“Metamorphosis stage? Things are getting more and more troublesome! That’s all. You guys take a rest first.” President Xiao’s expression turned ugly.
“Yes, President!”
After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she sent a picture over through the communication device. It was the square-faced man, bald man, and a few others.
“These guys want to harm Lorne!”
On the other side, President Xiao’s gaze turned cold and the aura on his body started to change.
“What’s wrong, teacher?” Zhu Yuehong asked from the side.
“Do you still remember Lorne? He’s not a spirit body. A few days after he awakened, he advanced his companion elf to level-3 and he even completed several grade-B missions consecutively. His elves must be very outstanding. Now, a team of spirit envoys from the wild have their eyes on him. They’re preparing to kill him and snatch his elves,” President Xiao stood up and said.
“These guys are too arrogant. They’re really unscrupulous!” Zhu Yuehong snorted lightly.
“Let’s go to Iron Valley Mountain.”
While president Xiao and Zhu Yuehong were talking, on the tree branch, Lorne had already woken up.
Hehai’s communication device vibrated. Lorne opened it and saw that it was a message from the other party!
“Hehai, we’re almost there. How’s Lorne? Is he still there?”
“Is he here?”
Lorne looked down the mountain. His physical fitness was now five times that of an ordinary person. His eyesight was naturally quite good.
Lorne waited for a while before picking up Hehai’s communicator and replying: “Lorne is still here. He’s sleeping in a pavilion at the foot of the mountain. You guys come up to the top of the mountain first.”
“Okay! We’ll be there in half an hour at most.”
“Half an hour?”
Lorne jumped down from the tree branch and was ready to move.
Suddenly, Lorne’s phone vibrated.
“Lord Hong?”
Zhu Yuehong’s pretty face appeared on the communication device.
“Yes, it’s me,” Zhu Yuehong said. Her voice was rather pleasant to the ear.
Zhu Yuehong sized Lorne up with her eyes, and then her gaze lingered on Nita for a few seconds.
“Your elf is indeed extraordinary. You’ve grown to such a level in such a short period of time. Moreover, the connection between the two of you seems to be beyond imagination. I’m starting to suspect that you’re another spirit that’s even rarer,” Zhu Yuehong said.
Hearing her words, Lorne did not refute her. For an ordinary person to grow so fast, it was indeed a little abnormal. If others were willing to imagine it, then they could imagine it themselves. It would save Lorne some trouble.
“You’re also looking for that demon?” Lorne asked.
Zhu Yuehong said, “That’s right. You seem to be very lucky as well. You haven’t met it all this while. But now, your trouble has come. Some spirit envoys have their eyes on you. There’s a way down the mountain from here. You go west. I’m on my way. I can help you deal with them.”
“Trouble? You mean those spirit envoys who came from the east?” Lorne asked lightly when he heard Zhu Yuehong’s words.
Zhu Yuehong’s bright eyes were filled with surprise. “You know?”
Lorne said, “Of course, I know.”
Zhu Yuehong looked at Lorne in surprise again and said, “You’re still there even though you know? You don’t think you can deal with them, do you?”
Lorne did not answer her question. Instead, he looked at her and asked, “How confident are you that you can deal with that demon?”
Although Lorne did not answer her question but asked about the demon instead, Zhu Yuehong still answered out of admiration for Lorne, “It’s hard to say. I haven’t fought it head-on, but we know that its strength should be above level-8!”
Level-8 demon! In that case, the red figure was definitely the demon.
Zhu Yuehong continued. “The most troublesome thing about this demon is its ability to escape. It has escaped the encirclement of several emissaries, and I haven’t been able to catch up with it. Recently, one of my elves is in a period of metamorphosis, and its combat strength has weakened quite a bit. If we meet it head-on, it might be 50-50!”
50-50! Lorne had already gotten the answer he wanted. He sized the other party up and asked, “So, you’re a spirit body?”
Zhu Yuehong’s voice unconsciously had a hint of pride. “Of course! “I’m also the vice president of the Spirit Envoys Alliance. The west of Jiang City is under my protection. Lorne, I’ve taken a fancy to you… Ahem, don’t misunderstand. I admire you very much. You can join the Spirit Envoys Alliance. Later, I’ll get you the identity of an assistant. How about it?”
Zhu Yuehong blinked as she spoke, appearing rather mischievous.
Lorne shook his head. “I’m not interested.”
Zhu Yuehong did not give up. “It’s just an identity. It can be very convenient. For example, you can use some of my authority. You can also know immediately if there are any powerful demons or the like.”
Lorne thought about it and did not agree immediately. He said calmly, “We’ll see. So, you’re on your way here?”
“That’s right, but we’ll probably take more than forty minutes to get there. It’s still not too late for you to leave now.”
Lorne shook his head and said, “No need.” With that, Lorne began to walk down the mountain.
“What are you planning to do? Don’t court death!”
Lorne did not continue to answer her and directly shut off the communication.
According to Lorne’s judgment, the Red Demon was very interested in the eyeballs that he had obtained. If he did not get rid of the demon, one day, the demon might discover that he had something it wanted.
Rather than worrying about the demon coming for him, he might as well think of a way to get rid of it!
Originally, Lorne had planned to use the middle-aged woman, but now it seemed that Zhu Yuehong was the one who was truly chasing the Red Demon.
Then, Lorne could use Zhu Yuehong. That was why Lorne had asked about her confidence in dealing with the demon..
