"despair!"
Xue Nuo jumped down and placed her vertical arm down on the giant rat's head with her cute white platform shoes, rendering the giant rat completely immobile.
Li Xiaoran walked over and said, "Aren't we going to kill this one?"
"It's no use not killing them now."
Fang Zong casually remarked, and Li Xiaoran immediately slashed out with his sword. But even faster was Fang Zong's silver needle, which pierced through the giant rat's hard forehead bone and shot out pale purple lightning.
"Ding Dang! Congratulations to the Summoner for freeing the struggling Lost Demon! A chance drop! You've hit the jackpot! +2 Holy Demon Coins!"
Fang Zong smiled smugly upon hearing this.
The previous ten Saint Demon Coins had disappeared, but the more than three hundred little demons that were spawned actually gave him fifteen Saint Demon Coins.
The last one was even more impressive; they gave out two of them.
That makes seventeen. We need thirty-three more to upgrade the Saint Demon Lord to another level!
Looking at the mountain of giant rat carcasses blocking the road ahead, Li Xiaoran shook his head and said, "So many lesser demons are completely useless. What is the Hungry Demon trying to do?"
"Should we station troops here?"
Fang Zong smiled indifferently.
Ghostly energy has revived, and demons are running rampant. Countless damned creatures are plotting to overthrow this prosperous and peaceful world.
Let's not even talk about these ghosts. Judging from the information on the Ghost Killing Team, there are quite a few generals who have awakened energy nodes. They were the second oldest in the world from the start, and they're bound to start their 'overpowered' mode.
However, it is quite obvious that their predecessors in the Demon Slayer Corps taught them how to be human.
"The road ahead is blocked. Should I blow up the corpse?" Xue Nuo asked eagerly.
Fang Zong laughed and said, "No need. I feel there aren't many giant rats left in the sewage tunnel. Gu Zizai has put us in charge of the whole city, so there's no need for us to stay here."
"Go up there, let Zhongshan City handle the rest."
Fang Zong sensed that there weren't many giant rats left in the sewage tunnel; there were probably only about a dozen left.
They don't need to search the area; let the military officers in Zhongshan City catch the giant rat, and he can finish it off.
It was the hungry demon behind the scenes that interested him.
"From now on, we'll live together. Be careful of the Hungry Demon's Hope; I think he's also a ghost of the Cold Iron level."
Fang Zong gave a reminder, and Li Xiaoran nodded in agreement.
Xue Nuo's beautiful eyes widened in surprise. "Impossible!" she exclaimed.
The Cold Iron level, which is also the Technique level, is basically being watched by the old men on the Tiger Ranking and Dragon Ranking. Where did this Hungry Demon come from, and it's actually a Technique level expert?
Besides, how did Fang Zong sense it?
"The Hungry Demon used drugs to control the giant rat, but when he turned the rat into a little demon, he must have used his own power. I think it has the smell of cold iron ghost energy."
Fang Zong gave a brief explanation, then raised his fist and stopped.
Forget it, let's find the exit for the maintenance staff. I remember running into one earlier.
There's no need for it, and Fang Zong doesn't want to waste taxpayers' money...
Before long, Fang Zong and his two companions saw a faint light ahead.
Because the entrance to the sewage tunnel wasn't an underground well, but hidden in a rather secluded place, the light was very dim. Fang Zong and his group walked over and found it was an iron gate hidden in the shadows. They kicked it, breaking it in two.
With a loud bang, the dozen or so workers at the door were startled.
Fang Zong went outside and found construction vehicles parked outside. A steel gate was placed on a truck, and more than a dozen workers were unloading the gate.
The gate looks sturdy, but it's not very heavy; a dozen people, each with one hand, can easily pull it down.
"Hollow?" Fang Zong frowned.
He then walked over, grabbed the fence gate, and found it to be icy cold to the touch, indeed made of high-quality steel. However, with a slight effort, he suddenly squeezed the wrist-thick fence into a very flat piece.
The sound of the steel twisting was particularly eerie, and the dozen or so workers turned green with fright.
"Hiss... such powerful strength!"
"Is he a military officer?"
Before the workers could react, Fang Zong, Li Xiaoran, and Xue Nuo had already left. After giving the signal, Chen Hezheng arrived in a hurry with several officials.
"I mean, a steel door that even a hand grenade can't destroy."
The entrance and exit are hidden in a very secret place, but not necessarily in a remote one. After you walk out of Fangzong, there is a commercial street with a road leading to it.
Chen He nodded and said, "Yes, it was done according to your standards. I know how much impact the giant rat would have if it went out, so I personally supervised the selection of materials and finally chose several companies that the Zhongshan Municipal Construction Bureau has been cooperating with."
I've checked. They're all solid steel, about the thickness of a bowl. Once the concrete is in place, even a hand grenade couldn't break through them.
Upon hearing this, Fang Zong asked, "How many did you supervise?"
"Twenty-eight, and I've personally inspected the largest one."
"What about the younger one?"
As Fang Zong asked the question, Chen He seemed to have discovered something, and his face darkened.
The official from the construction bureau next to him was covered in cold sweat, with large beads of sweat dripping down his sallow forehead and soaking his entire back.
Fang Zong glanced at the official with a smile.
He casually said, "Check each side; if there's a problem, kill them."
"Thump!"
Several officials sat down on the ground.
...
Not long after Fang Zong left, Chen He was able to inspect twenty-eight relatively important locations in such a short time, which was already non-stop.
So Fang Zong didn't ask any questions and went shopping with Li Xiaoran and Xue Nuo.
Because of the giant rat incident, the commercial street was particularly deserted, and Li Xiaoran had no interest in shopping. So, more than an hour later, he was on the top floor of the largest hotel in Zhongshan City.
Of course, it was the presidential suite, and Xue Nuo paid for it.
The young heiress doesn't care about this little bit.
Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, Fang Zong held a martini and sipped it casually.
Through the clean glass, you can see half of Zhongshan City below, giving you a feeling of standing on the clouds and looking down at the world.
But Fang Zong no longer cared; his standards were higher, making it even harder to touch his G-spot.
Fang Zong lit a cigarette and laughed, "I remember when I was in school, lying on a beach chair and drinking a 15-yuan Rio cocktail was considered very sophisticated. Now, standing in front of the glass window of the presidential suite, I can't even be bothered to drink the Martini, the king of cocktails."
Xue Nuo munched on her ice cream cone: "Shall I get you a bottle of '82 Lafite?"
"I prefer the 1982 Sprite!"
Fang Zong rolled his eyes. Seeing Xue Nuo enjoying her ice cream, he wanted to try some too. Just as he walked over, he suddenly felt a numbing, electric shock-like sensation in his heart.
I unconsciously looked up at the sky, but could only see the ceiling.
But in those few seconds, it was as if a giant had stepped down with its enormous foot!
"They're here! Watch out!" Fang Zong shouted immediately.
But suddenly...
"Dingdang, congratulations to the Summoner for being attacked by the Cold Iron-level ghost monster, the Hungry Demon, and for getting +1 to the Hungry Demon's innate spell, Netherworld Shock!"
Before even seeing the enemy, the sense of oppression vanished.
A voice, trembling with sobs, came from above:
"What?!?"
