So I Am A Demon Descendent! - Chapter 340

“Why aren’t you talking? You haven’t told us how long the road is.” Seeing that Li Xianyu had plunged into silence, Thunderlord, who was on the other end of the call, urged.

 “Sixty two kilometers!” Li Xianyu answered truthfully.

 “How long?” Thunderlord was stunned.

 “Sixty two kilometers,” Li Xianyu repeated.

 There was silence. Thunderlord was a bit muddled. Sixty two kilometers was almost the distance from Shanghai to Wuzhen. How big exactly was the map of the Great Deities Palace?

 A sixty-two-kilometer long trail, and they still had to face the attack of crabs. The entrance stage was already so difficult. How many crises would there be in the Great Deities Palace? The difficulty level of the copy of the Great Deities Palace was too high.

 Thunderlord fell silent as he hung up the phone solemnly.

 When the others saw him like this, they looked at each other. Earth God probed. “They failed?”

 “No, they succeeded.”

 Thunderlord’s answer made the S-class people smile. “Haha, with the Unparalleled War Spirit, everything is safe.”

 “The length of this road is… sixty two kilometers,” Thunderlord said, pointing to the flat black crystal-like road.

 All the expressions of the S-class people changed. Nani? Sixty two kilometers?

 A group of five people meant that they would face five crabs at the same time. They had no means of transportation, and they had to walk for sixty two kilometers. Even S-class people like them would find it daunting, not to mention the S-class group behind them.

 How could this happen? They had not even entered the Great Deities Palace.

 Earth God Tian Hao covered his face in silence. “I knew it, I knew it. The tasks involving the heir of the Li family were all tasks from hell.”

 “It’s a little difficult, but it’s not impossible,” Ape God said in a deep voice.

 White God turned pale. “You are fit, of course it would be no problem for you. What about a little girl like me?”

 Equal God pushed the spectacles on his nose upwards. “Everyone, be careful. Try not to use Li Xianyu’s blood needle. Keep it for the senior staff. I’m afraid it’s not enough to go around.”

 Before departure, the company gave more than ten blood needles to the senior staff. Along the way, Li Xianyu donated a lot of blood intermittently, and finally gathered enough for every single person.

 With this blood donation drive, he had greatly profited.

 This time, for this mission, he exchanged four magic weapons, one for each of the girls of his harem except Hua Yang. In the words of Li Xianyu, this was the welfare he gave to his harem.

 If you’re in my harem, you could only get my *censored*, not hardships. I, the emperor, have money!

 Baoze’s senior employees teamed up according to their abilities to ensure that there was a spiritual awakener in each team. One team had no S-level guard, because San Wu had already followed Li Xianyu.

 Hence, there were two spiritual awakeners in that team. Unable to not worry, Equal God waved his hand and muttered, “Wang Lao’er, you stay in this team as well. When you are in danger, remember to take the lead and protect your colleagues behind you.”

 Wang Lao’er nodded sadly.

 Equal God’s words translated to: “If there is any danger, you should go first. Anyway, your defense is high.”

 All the skills of Wang Lao’er were focused on defense. His skills such as Iron-Clothed Shirt, Acalanātha, and Indestructible Body of King Kong had been greatly accomplished. Even S-class experts would marvel at his level of defense.

 He was the kind of tough guy that even the ten gods of Baoze would be lazy to beat up.

 Combat God, who was famous for his close combat, competed with him last year. With his full strength, it took five minutes to break all of Wang Lao’er’s moves. Combat God’s hand was swollen.

 Thunderlord looked behind. “I’ll take the back!”

 Baoze’s staff was divided into ten teams, five in each team, and came to the entrance of the avenue. Team by team, they walked towards the main road. The interval between each team was 500 meters as they ran forward.

 When the last team comprising Thunderlord came, all the major forces couldn’t help it anymore. A Buddhist monk whispered, “Benefactor Thunderlord, what are you guys…”

 Countless pairs of eyes focused on Thunderlord.

 Thunderlord pondered and told the facts truthfully, revealing Baoze’s countermeasures.

 Everyone’s eyes brightened as they were quite surprised.

 “It’s a good idea. Everyone, follow Baoze and assign our teams.”

 “Buddhists, gather quickly.”

 “Taoists, gather here.”

 All the major forces immediately gathered their own people. According to Thunderlord’s instructions, they began to assign teams. Everyone was very worried. They were afraid that they would be too far away from Baoze’s people, and Baoze would take the treasures of the Great Deities Palace first.

 Amongst the people from the Association of Superpowered Beings, Victoria nodded silently. Baoze’s response was similar to what she anticipated.

 She went to Wald Jones and said, “Vice President, we have an odd number of people.”

 Wald didn’t care. “I’ll take the extra one, quickly, set up the team and take shape before the other forces do.”

 The scene suddenly became lively and the shouts continued.

 …

 Crackle…

 Thunderlord threw out five thunder balls, causing the crabs’ bodies to stiffen as they hissed and screamed. While they were paralyzed, the five people ran fast, leaving the crabs far behind.

 Thunderlord took out his mobile phone and looked at the pedometer. They had run five kilometers. For a long distance of sixty two kilometers, it was just the beginning.

 “No, it’s too hard. We can’t squander our powers like this.”

 His physical and martial prowesses were similar. He was at the top amongst the S-class people. The better his physical ability was, the longer the endurance of his ability was. However, he couldn’t afford such extravagance.

 “We still have fifty seven kilometers to go, so we have to work together. From now on, I’m only responsible for handling three crabs, and the other two will be handed over to you guys.”

 The senior staff responded in unison, clutching the magic weapon in their hands, running and keeping in line. Thunderlord took the lead. The ones with strong close combat ability were on the flanks, and the spiritual awakener was at the end.

 After running for a while, the surface of the river bubbled, and five big crabs climbed out of the river surface.

 Thunderlord remained silent, as he had been preparing to launch his thunder balls. He hit the three crabs to his right. The other four senior employees were fighting the other two crabs. With the help of the spiritual awakener, they easily killed one and injured the other.

 It was not hard to kill a single crab. The most difficult part of this stage was the long track, as well as the possibility of encountering countless crabs.

 It was a contest of endurance. Whoever had strong endurance would be able to reach the end.

 Every crab is equivalent to an A-minus level senior staff. How many are there in the river? How terrifying is the master of the Great Deities Palace? No, the Great Deities Palace doesn’t necessarily have a master, Thunderlord thought as he ran.

 Every time there was a mission involving Li Xianyu, it was always very difficult.

 Well, it’s immoral to play the blame game here. Thunderlord self-reflected in silence.

 The Great Deities Palace was the residence of the ancient demons. Such a place was bound to be incredibly dangerous, the blame could not be shifted onto Li Xianyu. He was not a bold and shameless man like the Earth God.

 Along the way, Thunderlord kept an eye on the ground. He saw a lot of blood and some parts of crabs’ bodies, such as broken shells and crab feet.

 However, at the present location, he had not seen the demise of any of Baoze’s employees because if they died in the hands of crabs, they would inevitably leave behind stumps or even meat dregs. The colleagues would not have time to clean up the bodies.

 This was the best case scenario. He hoped that it would stay this way.

 Before coming to the Great Deities Palace, Baoze had a casualty assessment. The company told them to minimize S-class deaths before the real mission.

 Pertaining to the real mission, Baoze’s request was to preserve the lives of the S-class people.

 At the sixty kilometer mark, Thunderlord and four senior employees were out of breath and sweating.

 “Stop and have a rest!” Thunderlord stopped.

 The senior employees didn’t understand his orders. It was very dangerous to stop in such an environment. They might be attacked at any time. In addition, if they stopped after vigorous exercise, their bodies would suddenly enter a recovery state. All aspects of their powers would decline, and their reaction speed would slow down.

 Solely due to their trust in Thunderlord, the four senior employees stopped, and the first thing they did was to take out mineral water and high protein foods to supplement their physical strength.

 Thunderlord didn’t do any extra moves. He waved and refused to drink the water offered by his colleagues. He was on the alert. Whenever there was a movement anywhere, he would throw the thunder ball in his hand.

 The four senior employees were all in a mess. One of them was stained red with blood on the left half of his body. He was hit on his shoulder by a crab’s claw not long ago, and his left shoulder bone was smashed immediately. His skin split open, revealing a load of flesh and blood. If it were not for Li Xianyu’s blood needle, Baoze would have lost a senior employee by now.

 In addition, there were traces of blood on the others’ bodies. Being only slightly injured, they could not bear to use the blood needle entirely. They only injected half a tube.

 The magic of Li Xianyu’s blood had surprised senior employees, who were secretly grateful. When you were on a mission and you had a tube of blood medicine, it was equivalent to an extra life. As long as you didn’t die on the spot, it could save your life.

 Five minutes later, a senior employee couldn’t help but say, “Thunderlord, what are we stopping here for?”

 The place where Thunderlord stopped was very strategic. He had calculated where the crabs would appear. According to experience, they would experience the next wave of attacks approximately 300 metres ahead.

 Thunderlord listened with his ears up, vaguely hearing the movement behind him. It was the people of all other major forces approaching.

 “Almost time.”

 When Thunderlord went to the river and reached out his right hand, sticking it into the river, the senior staff turned pale. Thunderlord’s behavior was too risky. At this time, if there was a crab attack, he would hardly be able to avoid it.

 “One hundred thousand volts!”

 The body of Thunderlord was engulfed by electric current, and he went into full overdrive. The strong electric current turned into a light blue light and enveloped him. The ground half a meter around him was instantly scorched.

 A current rushed into the river and illuminated it blue and bright.

 Bubbles appeared all over the river. It seemed that the river had come to life. No, to be exact, the crabs lurking at the bottom of the river had come to life.

 Thunderlord hurriedly got up, he had exhausted his physical strength. In a flash, he condensed a dozen thunder balls the size of basins. He randomly threw these electric balls into the distance and into the river.

 “Run!” Thunderlord roared.

 Before he could finish, the four white-faced senior employees started running.

 “T-Take me with you!” Thunderlord looked flustered. He was exhausted. He didn’t have the strength to run.

 “Oh! Oh!” A senior employee who was good at sports turned back and did not say anything. He picked up Thunderlord and chased after his companions, gritting his teeth as he ran for his life.

 Thunderlord laid on the man’s broad chest. His stomach was churning. He didn’t care. He looked at the fog behind him. His serious face revealed a cold smile.

Kill all the demon descendants who entered the Great Deities Palace! This was the real mission of the ten gods of Baoze.
