The Fourth Calamity: My Sect Has Countless Prodigies

Chapter 116 Demonic Cultivator Appears, Destroys the Rat's Nest!

"Are these teenagers crazy?"

"Who knows? Anyway, who would refuse a free bargain? A peaceful night for just a few spirit stones, what a steal!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, they patrol remote areas every day. I wonder how long this perk for us old patrolmen will last?"

……

The patrolmen were initially taken aback.

But after realizing what was happening, they immediately started discussing it amongst themselves, their faces beaming with smiles.

Who would refuse a scapegoat that can be found by paying money?

Seeing this, Lin Yuan immediately sensed something was wrong.

If these young men really did that, what difference would it make from sending themselves to their deaths?

But just as he had come up with a reason to step forward and help the stars out of their predicament, Li Fan stopped him.

"Inspector Lin, I know you want to help us, but I believe this matter will escalate. If it's not resolved thoroughly, those old inspectors will definitely come looking for trouble later," Li Fan said sincerely, holding Inspector Lin's hand.

His words and expression were full of concern for Inspector Lin.

Inspector Lin was moved, but still reassured them, "You don't need to worry. With my prestige, it's not difficult to suppress this group of inspectors. It's just that tonight gave that scoundrel an opportunity."

Li Fan shook his head.

He pointed to the stars and said solemnly, "Your Excellency, we righteous cultivators always keep our word. How can we go back on our word so soon after we've spoken?"

"But……"

"Your Excellency, there is no need to worry. If we die, it is because we are not strong enough and we brought it upon ourselves. We have no one to blame but ourselves."

The Immortal of Instant Opening stepped forward and bowed to Inspector Lin.

As Inspector Lin looked at the Immortal who could open the gates in an instant, a slight thought stirred in his heart.

He could tell that the man's manners were very formal, as if he had practiced them countless times.

"Very well, as the saying goes, life and death are preordained, and wealth and honor are determined by fate. Since you have made up your mind, then I will not interfere."

"But if you manage to survive this time, I will definitely lend you a hand." Lin Yun patted Li Fan on the shoulder, his worried expression turning into a smile.

For some reason, the confidence of this group made Lin Yuan feel inexplicably at ease.

He had a deep-seated feeling that these young men would survive safely.

And so, the group parted ways and headed toward their designated patrol areas.

Inspector Wang led his squad with a cheerful smile to the nearest residential area.

"Boss, that was a really brilliant move!" one of the team members exclaimed.

Inspector Wang smiled and declined, saying, "Not at all, it's only because you guys were building up my reputation that I had this opportunity to take advantage of the situation."

That's right.

During the recent campaign rally led by the old patrolman, many of the slogans that were shouted out first were actually shouted by members of Patrolman Wang's team.

"Ah, I can finally have a peaceful night tonight." Inspector Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the moonlight, which was still beautiful, and a gentle breeze was blowing, making him feel relaxed and happy.

It should be noted that the residential area had not encountered a single problem since the patrol began, making it a thoroughly safe zone.

What difference is there between patrolling here for one night and not patrolling at all?

Several underlings nodded in agreement: "Yeah, Captain, I want to lie down on the ground and get a good night's sleep too."

"Hehe, you know what, the bluestone slabs here are quite comfortable, it really is comfortable to lie on them."

Inspector Wang rolled his eyes at the group and teased, "You lot, is that all you've got? You're destined to sleep on cobblestones for the rest of your lives."

The underlings laughed it off and continued on their way.

Little did they know that their dream was about to come true.

Beneath the silent streets, a sinister figure quietly emerged.

Inspector Wang led his team forward, but the next moment, just as he was about to take a step forward, he found that there seemed to be an invisible barrier in front of him.

He wanted to cross, but was blocked by the barrier and had no way to get through.

"Why is the captain stopped? Did something happen?"

One of the team members asked curiously.

Under his gaze, Inspector Wang heard the sound and subconsciously looked back.

The young team member was curious and wanted to hear his captain explain why.

But what greeted him was Inspector Wang's terrifyingly pale face.

"It seems like we..."

Before he could finish speaking, Inspector Wang's head flew high into the air, like a kite with a broken string.

"Hehehe, I heard you want to sleep on the bluestone slab for a while. It just so happens that this old Taoist priest loves to help others the most."

A black shadow flashed by, and the next moment, the two patrolmen collapsed to the ground.

I can sleep on my beloved bluestone slab for the rest of my life.

"My lord, I didn't say that. Could you please...?"

"Didn't you say that? Then I'll take that as a yes." The demonic cultivator smiled wickedly.

A pair of demonic claws emanating black smoke suddenly reached out and ripped out the man's burning heart.

Even on his deathbed, the cultivator stared wide-eyed at the shadowy demonic cultivator in disbelief.

As night fell, a grand feast began.

……

The next morning.

The Qingxuan Sect is located at the border between the back mountain and the sect.

More than 20 players, under the leadership of the strategist, assembled and joined the Flying Dragon in the Sky team.

"Brothers, we have only one purpose for this trip: tell me loudly what it is!" The strategist raised his right fist high into the sky and shouted.

More than 20 players, wielding longswords and raising them high, shouted with excited expressions, "Slay the Golden Rats and reclaim our mine!"

The strategist nodded, a smile appearing on his face, and then raised the longsword in his left hand.

Under the sunlight, the longsword gleamed and shone brightly.

"Gold-devouring rats, a lowly species, are not worthy of living in this world, much less worthy of encroaching on our sect's resources!"

"To drive them away, we only have one option: tell me loudly what it is!"

The crowd's spirits soared, and they roared, "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Many players were wildly waving their weapons in the air.

"Exterminate their race, eat their flesh, pull out their tendons, and refine their bones! Inferior races do not deserve to live in the world of cultivation!"

The crowd's voices were powerful and resounded through the sky.

Even Feilong Zaitian, standing nearby, couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

This strategist is too amazing!

It's amazing that they were able to raise the team's cohesion to its highest level in such a short time.

How many military movies have you actually watched?

Without saying much, the strategist immediately led more than 20 well-equipped players toward the mine.

These days.

With his rising reputation, many new players have joined his ranks to conquer the mines.

The group continued on their journey and soon arrived at their destination.

After the strategist gave another pep talk, he led the group into the secret passage.

The gold-devouring rats scattered along the way were easily dealt with by the players, and the entire team achieved a resounding victory in their first battle.

But the cunning strategist remained vigilant; the real show was yet to come.

Soon, the group arrived at the fork in the road they had come from.

The strategist first sent five fast players to infiltrate the area, scouting ahead while simultaneously drawing aggro.

In this way, the players successfully caught the gold-devouring rats that rushed out by using entrapment tactics.

There were no casualties throughout the entire process, and the players cheered and their morale soared.

Feilong Zaitian stared in disbelief at the scene.

Throughout the entire trip, it was almost entirely these new players frantically fighting monsters.

There were only two mid-stage Qi Refining Gold-Swallowing Rats present, requiring their team to deal with them personally.

After a long while, a player who had incited hatred returned and said to the strategist, "Strategist, the large nest below is empty. The first swarm of rats should have been defeated."

Upon hearing this, not only the strategist but also the players around him were greatly impressed.

The grudge of our defeat last time has finally been avenged.

Seeing this, the strategist no longer hesitated and took advantage of the fact that the gold-devouring rat had not yet come to their aid.

He immediately and systematically guided the other players into the narrow passage and into the first mouse nest.

The strategist looked around and saw that the rat's nest was filled with glittering fragments of ore and spirit stone powder scattered all over the ground.

Scattered in the corner were several broken storage bags, a few rusted fragments of magical artifacts, and a piece of beast bone gleaming with spiritual light.

Deep within the lair, a pile of ore formed a small mountain, radiating a dazzling light.

Many players looked at the pile of loot, their eyes lighting up, and began to discuss it with great anticipation.

But the strategist warned, "Everyone, stay alert! Now is not the time to divide the spoils. Once we raid a few more rat nests, we'll have as many spoils as we want!"
