As he spoke, he stepped on the accelerator and sped up.

In front of a low, barren mountain, Lorne stopped his motorcycle.

“This is it. It looks quite desolate.”

On the barren mountain was a shabby Taoist temple. The demon had appeared here. It was unknown if it was a coincidence. Lorne had received two high-level clean-up missions today. One was in the church and the other was in the Taoist temple. Did these demons like this kind of atmosphere?

Of course, the appearance of demons could not be controlled, let alone in these abandoned ruins. It was not surprising that the demons who had sneaked in from the border had occupied these places.

‘I’ll have 1,250 experience points once I’m done with this. If I increase Nita’s level, I’ll still have 350 points left. If I can save them up, I’ll be able to accumulate 1,000 points in the afternoon. I can directly increase their skills and potential as well,’ Lorne thought as he walked up the mountain.

Rumble!!!

The ground beneath his feet suddenly shook violently. Lorne, who was walking up the mountain, almost lost his footing. Fortunately, he managed to stabilize his body in time, which prevented him from falling.

“An earthquake?!” Lorne asked in surprise.

The earthquake came and went quickly. In just a few seconds, the earthquake disappeared.

At the foot of the mountain, Lorne’s motorcycle was knocked to the ground by the earthquake. In the distance, there were a few cracks. Although they were not big, they looked quite scary. Some of the rocks on the mountain had fallen. Lorne looked at it and sighed in relief.

Compared to encountering a demon or something, this kind of natural disaster was the scariest. After all, Lorne still had the elves to protect him when he encountered a demon. If he encountered such a natural disaster, it would not help him much.

‘Why is there an earthquake suddenly? Did something happen?’ Lorne thought.

He took out his phone, opened the group chat, and checked if there was any new news. At this moment, Lorne received the latest news

[ A large-scale demon lair has been discovered 230 kilometers south of Jiang City. Spirit envoys, please be careful! There are many demons here and it’s very likely to cause a large-scale demon riot! Final warning, do not approach! Do not approach! Do not approach! ]

“A demon lair has been discovered!”

Lorne revealed a surprised expression.

“And there are also large-scale demons gathered here. This is going to be a big problem!”

Demon lairs, as the name implied, were the lairs where demons gathered. The size of a typical demon lair would have at least dozens of demons while the larger ones could gather hundreds of demons.

The large-scale demon lair mentioned in the news had at least thousands of demons, which was why they were qualified to be called large-scale demon lairs.

Moreover, the appearance of every large-scale demon lair meant that there must be a terrifying level-6 demon king! Hence, every time a demon lair appeared, it would be a great disaster for the humans.

…

“A few more died and it escaped again.”

In a dilapidated farmhouse, a few spirit envoys with powerful auras were flustered and exasperated. Zhu Yuehong, who was dressed in green, was also here.

“These spirit envoys have already told them not to wander around, yet they are still wandering around. They are really courting death.”

Zhu Yuehong said, “Teacher, it’s getting closer and closer to Jiang City. If this continues, will it enter Jiang City?”

“There’s a certain possibility. Chasing like this isn’t a solution. I’ll return to Jiang City and see if I can find what it wants. You continue to track it and be careful not to directly confront it. Your elves are very sensitive in this aspect. The three of you can cooperate and be careful. It will definitely not be a problem,” the black-clothed man said.

“Okay, Teacher. We’ll be careful,” Zhu Yuehong said.

“Then I’ll go back to the city first.”

After saying that, the black-clothed man quickly disappeared in front of their eyes.

“Have you heard? It seems that a very powerful demon has come to the outside of the city. Many veteran spirit envoys who were guarding the border have returned.”

“Yeah, I’ve also heard about it. It’s said that the city gates of the inner city are closed 24 hours a day. Ordinary people can’t even enter or leave.”

“Isn’t it the same in the outer city?”

“It looks like that demon is very powerful. I wonder what level it is.”

“…”

The rookie group also began to discuss this matter. However, since Lorne was currently on a mission, he did not have time to continue reading the news and did not know about this matter.

The outer city of Jiang City’s was much livelier than before. Many taverns were filled to the brim. These were the spirit envoys who had returned from the other borders.

“Old Liu, you’re back too!”

“Yeah, I heard that the demon outside the city isn’t simple. Even the level-5 spirit envoy team was wiped out and not a single one survived!”

“If this happens to my small body… It won’t be enough for that demon to kill me.”

“Sigh, who knows how far the demons outside have grown. If this goes on, I’m really worried that I won’t be able to hold on in the future.”

“What’s there to worry about? If the sky falls, there will be a tall man holding it up. At worst, I’ll just die. Anyway, I’ve had enough of this kind of life where there’s no tomorrow!”

“…”

In a tavern, many spirit envoys were chatting in twos and threes. The appearance of the demon outside the city had already caused the spirit envoys to start panicking.

“Oh right, have you heard? In the recent batch of rookies, there’s a rare genius who managed to get a villa during the first room allocation test.”

“I’ve also heard that this is a special spirit body! I can’t be envious enough.”

“If it was a spirit body, it would have been taken away long ago. How could it be our Jiang City’s turn?”

As they chatted, someone in the tavern talked about Lorne..
