"We first encountered the divine beast species, the ominous face qilin, but the results were not good, so we didn’t pursue the other divine beast species. These guys, one after another, claim dominance in their territory, following the naked jungle law. To communicate with them, one must first fight, and then we can talk... It would be great if all the divine beast species were like the vermilion bird and the star."
After saying this, Kuang Liu directly reached out to touch the star on Wen Yu's head, causing the star to bare its teeth and snarl in response.
Kuang Liu awkwardly withdrew his hand and stammered, "I misspoke; it would be great if they were all like the vermilion bird... except for the star."
Wen Yu, with a strange expression, then asked, "How did you guys get the vermilion bird?"
Upon hearing Wen Yu’s question, Kuang Liu's hand gripping the steering wheel suddenly trembled, his voice rising several decibels.
"I advise you not to have any thoughts about the vermilion bird; that’s our military's high-end combat power! It's even more advanced than I am!"
Wen Yu shrugged. "I’m just asking. By the way, how exactly did the vermilion bird come to be? From what you said earlier, it seems you didn’t capture it."
"I don’t know how the vermilion bird came to be... When the Yanjing gathering place was being constructed, my father left for a while, and when he returned, he brought back a vermilion bird... He didn’t say much when I asked him about it."
"Uh-huh."
Wen Yu nodded, narrowing his eyes as if lost in thought.
Seeing this, Kuang Liu pushed Wen Yu and shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, put away that expression! I know what you’re thinking; quickly hide those dirty thoughts."
"Got it, no thoughts about the vermilion bird."
"That’s nonsense; your expression clearly says otherwise. No way, I’ll notify Commander Lin to hide the vermilion bird."
"No need to hide it, I really have no thoughts about the vermilion bird..."
"Really not?"
"......"
"Hey, why are you silent? Can I get a clear answer, please?"
Amidst Wen Yu and Kuang Liu’s banter, the demonic city was already in sight.
...
The demonic city looked the same as when Wen Yu last saw it, standing tall in place, but unfortunately, it had long since changed beyond recognition.
A large number of low-level bipedal lizards crawled back and forth inside and outside the demonic city, dense enough to make one dizzy.
The unfortunate thing was, their level was too low...
Since the demonic energy shield device had already been shut down, it could no longer serve to block enemies. Military drones had already flown into the demonic city, capturing the entire situation.
The originally black vortex had shrunk to less than ten meters in height, with some newly hatched low-level bipedal lizard offspring crawling out continuously. Without any command, these bipedal lizards clearly lacked intelligence, overcrowding the demonic city.
More importantly, these low-level bipedal lizards had completely blocked the remaining two ordinary Demon Realm Gates. Any demonic creatures that appeared inside would be killed and eaten by these bipedal lizards, which would then breed yet more bipedal lizards, none of which were even at the first level.
After observing the scene on the tablet, Wen Yu furrowed his brows for a long time before finally speaking.
"That red Demon Realm Gate, any activity?"
Kuang Liu shook his head. "No, it’s been very quiet lately."
After saying that, Kuang Liu waved his hand and shouted loudly. "This mission is to retrieve the demonic energy shield device. As for those bipedal lizards inside, they are just a bonus; kill as many as you can."
Upon hearing Kuang Liu’s words, the eyes of the others brightened.
Although the demonic creatures inside the demonic city were low in level, their sheer numbers and dense distribution meant that the total score would definitely not be small!
"Let’s go!"
...
As soon as Kuang Liu said "let’s go," the single eye and star on Wen Yu immediately transformed into two blurred shadows, rushing into the demonic city!
