Long Haochen reached out to shake his hand, using polite language, “Hello, we are the Rank Commander 64th Demon Hunt Squad. I am the leader, Long Haochen. It is an honor to fight alongside you.”
“Rank Commander?” Tian Qing looked stunned. “Brother, are you kidding me?”
As he spoke, Long Haochen raised his hand, pulled down his hood, and lowered the veil covering his face from the sand.
Seeing his handsome, young face, Tian Qing was immediately speechless.
Not just him, but also the members of his team. They were deeply shocked by the powerful strength Long Haochen had displayed during his explosive outburst. The only thing they couldn’t understand was why Long Haochen wasn’t wearing Mithril Foundation Armor to fight. With his ability to heavily wound an 8th-tier Yak Demon with two sword strikes, he should have no problem becoming a Mithril Foundation Knight! Unless he had better equipment to choose from.
“This is really unexpected. You’re so young. But in any case, on behalf of myself and my teammates, I sincerely thank you for your timely rescue. If you hadn’t arrived in time, we probably wouldn’t have escaped today.”
Long Haochen asked with a hint of puzzlement, “Senior, with your squad’s strength, dealing with two Yak Demons shouldn’t be difficult. How could you…?”
The promotion of a Demon Hunt Squad from Rank Commander to Rank King is a qualitative leap. Not only must they pay one million merit points, but each member must also improve to the 7th tier of cultivation. Being willing to pay so many merit points undoubtedly proves that this Demon Hunt Squad already has sufficiently powerful equipment. Although they are only at the 7th tier, a Demon Hunt Squad composed entirely of 7th-tier powerhouses with excellent equipment is not difficult to deal with two 8th-tier demons, especially since Yak Demons are not a race with demon god inheritance. As for those low-end Yak Demons, they are not even worth mentioning. This was evident from the previous battles of Long Haochen and his team.
Tian Qing gave a wry smile and said, “Don’t mention it. We were really unlucky this time. Our original mission was to enter Great Yak City to kill two 8th-tier Yak leaders. But who knew, we were ambushed by a Demon Hunt Anti-Ambush team while ambushing the Yak leaders. Although we heavily wounded our opponents, we also suffered great losses. Four of the six of us were injured, and our spiritual energy was greatly depleted. Although we recovered some with medicine, the Yak Demons surrounded us at this time. We barely managed to break through, but we couldn’t shake them off because of those annoying spore demons in the sky. You know what happened next.”
“Demon Hunt Anti-Ambush? What is that?” Long Haochen asked in confusion.
Tian Qing said, “Demon Hunt Anti-Ambush is, to be precise, somewhat similar to our Demon Hunt Squads. It is a new organization that the demons specially established to deal with us. It has been established for about a year. As the Alliance’s strength grows stronger, the combat power of our Demon Hunt Squads is also constantly increasing. The demons are increasingly aware of the destructive power we have on them and have to take some measures to deal with it. Demon Hunt Anti-Ambush is one such measure. They are formed by selecting elites from the demon race. Each Demon Hunt Anti-Ambush team consists of ten members, and the leader must be an 8th-tier powerhouse. Teams led by Reverse Sky Devil Dragons, Moon Demons, and Star Demons are the strongest. The overall strength of the team members is all above the 7th tier. Some particularly powerful Demon Hunt Anti-Ambush teams are entirely composed of 9th-tier demon powerhouses. We are still investigating the specific classifications of Demon Hunt Anti-Ambush.”
“The reason why our Demon Hunt Squads dare to carry out various missions within the demon territory is mainly because of the disorganization within the demon race. These Demon Hunt Anti-Ambush teams cannot come to our Alliance territory; they dare not. After all, the appearance and aura of the demons are very different from those of us humans. Furthermore, there are relatively few high-level demons that are completely human in form, so they dare not take risks. Therefore, these Demon Hunt Anti-Ambush teams are putting all their energy into dealing with us who are in the demon territory. In the past year or so, at least ten Demon Hunt Squads have fallen into their hands. This time, we almost suffered a great loss as well.”
Long Haochen took a deep breath and said, “Do you know how many Demon Hunt Anti-Ambush teams there are now?”
Tian Qing said, “According to the information we have, there were about a hundred Demon Hunt Anti-Ambush teams when they were first established, directly under the command of the Demon God Emperor. They only listen to the Demon God Emperor’s orders. You must be more careful when operating in the demon territory in the future. These Demon Hunt Anti-Ambush teams are very difficult to deal with. Some of them even possess powerful equipment. Although they are modeled after our Demon Hunt Squads, the demons have their natural advantages. High-level demons do not need much training to possess strength above the 7th tier.”
Long Haochen said, “If that’s the case, then we need to leave here quickly. Those Yak Demons who fled back will definitely reveal our whereabouts to the Demon Hunt Anti-Ambush team.”
Tian Qing nodded and said, “That’s right. In that case, you should come with us. We’ll go to the nearest squad headquarters.”
Long Haochen hesitated for a moment and said, “That’s not in accordance with the rules, is it? Our level doesn’t have the right to enter the squad headquarters.”
The squad headquarters are the secret strongholds that Demon Hunt Squads have in the demon territory, specially provided for Rank King and above Demon Hunt Squads to rest and resupply.
It’s not that they are discriminating against lower-level Demon Hunt Squads, but the missions that lower-level Demon Hunt Squads have to perform are not too difficult. However, the establishment of these squad headquarters in the demon territory has consumed too much of the Alliance’s manpower, material resources, and resources. Therefore, they are naturally prioritized for use by powerful Demon Hunt Squads.
For a simple example, the Demon God’s Fall Demon Hunt Squad, hidden in the heart of Demon Capital City, is hidden within a squad headquarters in the heart of Demon Capital City.
The Demon God Emperor once ordered a carpet search of the heart of Demon Capital City, but in the end, he still couldn’t dig out this squad headquarters. From this, it can be seen how powerful the role of this squad headquarters is.
Tian Qing patted Long Haochen’s shoulder and said, “Don’t say such polite words. The rules are fixed, but people are flexible. Does the squad headquarters really not allow Rank General and Rank Commander Demon Hunt Squads to use it? As long as a Rank King or above team leads the way, there’s no problem. Let’s go. The nearest squad headquarters is in Great Yak City. Aren’t they going to hunt us down? Then we’ll do the opposite and go back. I really can’t bear to leave like this. After we rest, we will definitely turn Great Yak City upside down.”

As he spoke, this powerful Mithril Foundation Knight’s eyes were already shining brightly.
Which Rank King Demon Hunt Squad member hasn’t gone through continuous battles with the demons? Without a strong personality, how can they improve all the way? They don’t know how much blood of powerful demons is stained on their hands.
Tian Qing and his team were obviously very familiar with the surrounding terrain. Under his leadership, the two Demon Hunt Squads made a big circle and spent a whole day, arriving at Great Yak City in full speed.
Unlike Long Haochen and his team, who disguised themselves as Moon Demons, the Rank King 17th Demon Hunt Squad also had their own methods. They used something called a Mimic Illusion Gem to transform themselves into Yak Demons. This allowed them to escort Long Haochen and his team into Great Yak City.
Great Yak City seemed a bit chaotic, and the city defenses were not strict. At least they didn’t search Long Haochen and his team at all and let them enter the city.
Tian Qing told Long Haochen that the Mimic Illusion Gem could transform into stored illusions with the support of spiritual energy. Storing illusions is a relatively troublesome process. However, in the demon territory, it is a necessary treasure for some powerful Demon Hunt Squads. Long Haochen and his team had just entered the Rank Commander, and they hadn’t come into contact with such things yet.
Although Great Yak City is the capital of Yak Province, it is not very large and, like most demon cities, it appears somewhat dilapidated. Tian Qing led Long Haochen and his team to a restaurant run by humans and went straight into the back kitchen. The following process really opened Long Haochen and his team’s eyes.
The entire back kitchen shifted horizontally, revealing the entrance to an underground cave. The thirteen of them filed in, and the kitchen above closed again, tightly sealed. What surprised Long Haochen even more was that after the entrance above closed, he couldn’t sense anything from the outside with his powerful perception.
In other words, the cave entrance had the ability to completely shield external detection. Moreover, Long Haochen saw that when the kitchen shifted, the ground at the entrance was more than one meter thick. Undoubtedly, there were also precious special metals incorporated inside, and it was even possible that magic arrays were engraved.
You should know that Great Yak City is not an important town in the demon race. It takes such a huge investment to build such a squad headquarters. No wonder Demon Hunt Squads can thrive in the demon territory.
Both sides of the tunnel were inlaid with special crystals that could emit light spontaneously, and there was obviously a good ventilation system here, without any feeling of stuffiness.
They went down, all the way down, nearly thirty meters deep before turning parallel forward. After continuing for twenty meters, small rooms began to appear on both sides.
Each room was very simply furnished with a bed, table, and chairs. There were about twenty rooms in the entire tunnel, enough to accommodate three Demon Hunt Squads to rest here. It’s just that there was no one there at this time. There was also a dedicated warehouse inside, storing a lot of food and clean drinking water.
“Everyone, rest for a while. Brother Long, let’s chat for a few words?” Tian Qing said to Long Haochen.
Long Haochen nodded.
The two of them went into one of the rooms. The others naturally went to find rooms to rest.
Tian Qing invited Long Haochen to sit down and said, “There are only two of our Demon Hunt Squads here at the moment. I won’t say thank you again. We, all members of the Rank King 17th Demon Hunt Squad, will always remember this kindness. Don’t call me senior or anything. We can just call each other by our names.”
Tian Qing’s personality was very straightforward, but he didn’t ask Long Haochen about their age or the secret skills they used when killing the 8th-tier Yak leader. Every Demon Hunt Squad has its own secrets. Even if everyone is a comrade, it’s not good to ask about other people’s secrets.
