Chapter 52: Zheng Mengqi

Chapter 52: Zheng Mengqi

Without Wang Yanfeng's protection, it would have been impossible for so many human vassals to live in Wind Wolf Town.

Two days later, the man with the tiger mask returned. He confirmed the final time for the action, keeping to the original plan.

After sending off the man again, Tang San returned to his room. He knew the first significant move he would make since his arrival in this world was about to come.

Quietly sitting cross-legged on the bed, Tang San slightly squinted his eyes, which flickered with contemplation. The plan described by the tiger man surfaced in his mind,

Three hundred breaths... I should be able to do a lot during that time.

In the forest, agile figures swiftly moved through, each with a slender and robust build, leaping freely among the trees. The thick branches served only as leverage points, offering no hindrance to their progress.

They were all covered in fur with yellow-brown spots, and they could cover tens of meters with each leap.

Quickly, they crossed the forest and entered the main road. Nearly a hundred figures rapidly converged. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Leading them was a figure that stood upright, over three meters tall, with a slender physique exuding strength and bright yellow light flickering in its eyes. Its clawed hands slowly retracted as it stood, revealing itself as a mighty Flash Leopard.

Behind him, numerous figures gathered, clearly centered around him.

The leading Flash Leopard pointed ahead.

"Is it this direction?"

A figure much smaller in stature quickly approached him and nodded slightly. "Lord Shan Ling, it is this way. It’s called Wind Wolf Town."

A flash of ferocity gleamed in Shan Ling's eyes, with a hint of red flickering in his yellow pupils. "Wind Wolf! Damn it! Follow me."

With those words, he suddenly waved his hand and leaped ahead. The other Flash Leopards, each with a fierce look in their eyes, quickly followed by his side.

The Flash Leopard who had spoken to Shan Ling earlier slightly retracted its fur, revealing a human-like face. But soon, it transformed into its Flash Leopard form, blending into the group of Flash Leopards.

Zheng Mengqi quickly lowered his head, respectfully saying, "Yes, my lord. I will follow your instructions."

Satisfied, Shan Ling nodded and said, "You go and rest, too. If we succeed this time, you will be credited for it."

"Yes, my lord," replied Zheng Mengqi. He found a corner nearby, sat down against a large tree, and adjusted himself. His right hand silently pressed against the tree and his fingers moved subtly, leaving several marks on the tree.

The sky gradually darkened, and night fell.

Shan Ling let out a deep roar. The resting Flash Leopards quickly rose and gathered around him.

"Zheng Mengqi, you lead the way," Shan Ling commanded coldly.

“Yes, my lord!" Zheng Mengqi swiftly completed his Flash Leopard Transformation. Although he was still somewhat different from an actual Flash Leopard, it wasn't easy to tell the difference in the dim light of the night unless one looked closely.

Holding the map, he confirmed the direction and quickly moved ahead.

The Flash Leopard clan was not particularly inclined to use their brains. Although all demons had intelligence, the levels of wisdom varied. Some demons were exceptionally clever, but most demons pursued strength over intelligence.

For instance, reading a map was troublesome for the Flash Leopards. In these aspects, the performance of human vassals was satisfactory to them. The intelligence of humans was why most clans had some human vassals to handle intellectually complex tasks.

Zheng Mengqi naturally wouldn't mistake the direction. Ten kilometers was short for Flash Leopards, even at a slow jog. Soon, they saw the small town in the distance, with smoke rising from the houses. Unbeknownst to them, Zheng Mengqi had cleverly led them to avoid the village inhabited by human slaves to prevent the Flash Leopards from venting their anger on them. For demons, slaves and livestock were no different; capturing each other's slaves was a common practice, especially between hostile factions.

A fierce light flickered in Shan Ling's eyes when it looked at the nearby town. It raised its paw and patted Zheng Mengqi's shoulder, clearly satisfied with his guidance.

"Sir, it should be here," Zheng Mengqi said respectfully.

Shan Ling nodded and raised his right front paw, and the Flash Leopards behind him immediately spread to both sides and stopped there.

Shan Ling slowly closed his eyes, and at that moment, the yellow spots on his body began to emit a faint yellow halo. It was almost as if the spots were coming to life, gently pulsating with the flow of the halo.

It was a bizarre feeling. Including Zheng Mengqi, all the Flash Leopards present felt something stirring within their bloodlines, making them noticeably agitated and heated.
