It could be said that the gains from that battle alone had already exceeded the total earnings of their three months in Devil Expelling Pass, of course, not counting the Light Elemental Spirit.

Their rest period wasn’t long. Under Long Haochen’s leadership, they set off again. They needed to leave Narik Province first.

Fortunately, misfortune didn’t stay with them forever. Following the map’s guidance, they traveled as much as possible through remote wilderness. When the day dawned and sunlight illuminated the land, they finally left the boundaries of Narik Province.

And at this moment, Long Haochen finally couldn’t hold on any longer.

A major battle had taken a huge toll on Long Haochen himself. He was completely exhausted, both physically and mentally. His injuries were secondary; the key was that he had used the Sacrifice skill, excessively overdrawing his spiritual power. Following that, he had been constantly rushing onward, and on top of that, he bore the responsibility of leading two teams. Lu Xi’s healing could only treat the symptoms and not the root cause of his potential consumption. Finally, when they reached a relatively safe place, Long Haochen collapsed into Cai’er’s arms.

During Long Haochen’s unconsciousness, the two Demon Hunt Squads discussed it carefully and decided to rest in place.

They were located in a desolate hilly area. Since the vast land of the Saint Demon Continent was occupied by demons, such barren areas had become increasingly common. Without enough manpower for cultivation, the original fertile fields were overgrown with weeds.

The group found a depression in the hills and temporarily camped there. To avoid revealing their human identity, they dared not set up tents. Instead, they found a relatively high spot in the depression and had several melee fighters dig a cave large enough for everyone to squeeze into for rest.

The two Demon Hunt Squads decided to stay and rest in place for a simple reason: they reached a consensus that the team needed Long Haochen’s command. Without him, the entire team couldn’t unleash its full power. Rashly advancing would be counterproductive. It was better to rest and allow everyone to recover their physical condition after the hard battle, and also to convert the potential stimulated by the hard battle into real strength through cultivation.

This rest lasted for a full three days.

The hilly area they chose was indeed desolate, and the weeds and shrubs on the ground became the best food for the Iron Mane Horses.

Long Haochen had actually recovered from the side effects of the Sacrifice skill and his injuries in just one day. But he decided to stay for two more days.

Post-battle cultivation is the best opportunity for any professional to improve. They not only had to complete their Demon Hunt Squad missions, but also constantly improve their own strength. There was no need to rush.

At the same time, Long Haochen discovered that after his inner spiritual power exceeded 3,000, his cultivation speed had significantly increased. It wasn’t just because of the Light Elemental Spirit, Yating, but also because his own perception and attraction to the external light element were much stronger than before, especially after this major battle. Over the course of three days, Long Haochen was surprised to find that his inner spiritual power had increased by a full 100 points.

It should be known that what he was increasing now was purely liquid spiritual power, and such an increase in speed could only be described as terrifying.

However, by the fourth day, the rate of increase had clearly slowed down, obviously because the potential stimulated by the great battle had somewhat diminished. However, after careful calculation, Long Haochen still found that if he cultivated with all his might, his inner spiritual power could still increase by more than 20 points per day.

Twenty points, that was already a terrifying number. At this rate of cultivation, he would only need two months to be able to break through to become a sixth-level Glorious Knight.

Of course, Long Haochen didn’t reveal his changes, as he didn’t want to stimulate his companions. But he had already secretly decided that after this mission was completed, he would definitely go into seclusion in the Holy City for a period of time to strive for a breakthrough to become a Glorious Knight. If his strength could be raised to the sixth level, he would be able to take on more difficult tasks in the future.

The Iron Mane Horses set off again, heading straight into the depths of the demon territory.

Although the straight-line distance from the Saint Alliance border to their destination was only a little over two thousand miles, how could they possibly travel in a straight line? They traveled for another seven days before finally reaching the vicinity of the Demon’s Central Province, getting closer and closer to their destination.

However, they also had to slow down, because the closer they got to the Central Province, the more demons they encountered. They could even occasionally see humans. And without exception, the humans were almost all engaged in farming.

Their Moon Demon tribe attire played a huge role. No matter what race of demons they were, they would quickly avoid them from a distance. Unfortunately, after encountering the first strange gaze, they had to abandon the Iron Mane Horses, which were easy to arouse suspicion, and switch to walking.

Long Haochen issued a strict order that no one was allowed to attack the demons without his permission. Killing demons could increase merit points, but it also meant increasing the risk of exposure.

Spreading out the map to check and carefully identify the terrain, Long Haochen sometimes even had to use Han Yu’s Evil Eye to fly into the high sky for auxiliary reconnaissance. Or he would have Li Xin’s Rose Unicorn take him into the air to observe the terrain. The reason why he wasn’t entirely relying on Li Xin was naturally because the Rose Unicorn was too conspicuous.

They couldn’t ask any demons for directions, and could only rely on their own judgment of the terrain and direction, combined with the location of the demon cities, to comprehensively determine their location. This was undoubtedly an arduous process.

Ten days of walking on thin ice could be said to be even more difficult than that great battle.

“If everything is correct, after crossing the mountain in front of us, we should reach our destination,” Long Haochen took a deep breath. Even with his strength as an Earth Knight, he couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of fatigue.

Li Xin waved her arm forcefully, “Are we finally there? That’s great. As long as we complete the exploration of the cave, our mission will be completed.”

Lin Xin said, “Time is of the essence, we might as well rest near the Fearful Banshee Cave. Let’s go there in one fell swoop.”

Long Haochen nodded slightly and said, “If everyone’s physical condition is okay, let’s start climbing the mountain.”

Just as they were about to take action, suddenly, a group of people on horseback rushed towards them from a distance. Everyone immediately stopped cautiously, not believing there would be any friendly forces in the Demon territory.

Surprisingly, it was a troop of cavalry, each rider being a Greater Demon over three meters tall. The Demon race is a pillar of strength in the entire Demon clan. They are not the most numerous, nor the strongest, but they are the most balanced.

The overall number of Demons is second only to the Dual Blade Demons, but the Demon race is not only composed of Lesser Demons who can serve as cannon fodder. There are Demons of all levels, from Lesser Demons to Demon Kings. The ruler of the Demon race is Samigina, the Death Spirit Demon God, ranked fourth among the seventy-two pillar Demon Gods. Therefore, although the Demon race has a large population, it includes all levels from low-level Lesser Demons to the top-level fourth pillar Demon God. The overall strength is quite powerful, second only to the Heaven Defying Demonic Dragon clan of the Demon God Emperor. Even the first two pillar Demon Gods are weaker than the Demon race in terms of overall strength. The Death Spirit Demon God Samigina is called the Demon Lord within his clan, and all members only obey his commands.

The greatest characteristic of the Demon race is evolution. They are the race most skilled in evolution. Even the weakest Lesser Demon has the opportunity to be promoted to a Demon King if they have enough opportunity.

The Demon cavalry in front of them are all composed of fourth-tier Greater Demons, with a total of fifty. Their mounts are the Nightmare Demon Horses unique to the Demon race.

Nightmare Demon Horses are pitch black, with dark red stripes on their bodies, and horns on their heads like the Demon race. Their four hooves tread on fire. These Nightmares in front of them are also fourth-tier like their masters. It is said that the most powerful Nightmare can advance to the ninth tier, and the Death Spirit Demon God Samigina rides the powerful Nightmare King.

The gazes of the two Hunter Demon Squad hunters almost simultaneously focused on Long Haochen. Twelve against fifty, and fifty Greater Demon Knights riding Nightmares. They had no confidence at all. Moreover, they had penetrated deep into the central province of the Demon territory. As long as they let one enemy escape, they would be in big trouble.

Long Haochen gestured, signaling his companions to be calm. He walked to the front, put his hands behind his back, and stared at the rapidly approaching Greater Demon cavalry with an arrogant expression.

Soon, the Greater Demon cavalry came close. The leading Demon was particularly tall, and the Nightmare under him was much stronger than other Nightmare Demon Horses. With a flash of fire, the Nightmare stopped about twenty meters away from Long Haochen. The Greater Demon on the horseback dismounted and quickly walked towards Long Haochen.

This Greater Demon had a pair of spiral horns, bat-like membranous wings, an extremely strong body, particularly huge claws, a green face with fangs, and carried a strong stench, with a faint green mist faintly emanating from his body.

In the Demon race, Greater Demons are absolute powerhouses, most skilled in close combat, but more afraid of magic, especially fire magic.

Being able to grow membranous wings proved that this Greater Demon had a sixth-tier cultivation base and could fly. Reaching this level, he could be called a Demon Commander.

“Enough, stop. Keep your filthy body away from us.” Long Haochen said coldly.

The Greater Demon actually stopped, but let out a roar, “Even if you are nobles of the Moon Demon race, you cannot insult me as a Demon Commander. I need to know your title, Moon Demon.”

High-level Demons can speak human language, and among them, the Moon Demon race likes to speak human languages the most. That’s why Long Haochen was so generous in speaking to the Greater Demon in front of him. The human language spoken by the Greater Demon seemed hoarse and awkward.

Long Haochen snorted coldly, and with a flick of his wrist, a token suddenly flew towards the Greater Demon.

The Demon Commander quickly caught it with his wide palm. The next moment, his dark green pupils trembled violently, almost dropping the token in his hand. His left leg suddenly stepped forward, and he actually knelt down on one knee towards Long Haochen.

“Honorable Moon Demon Viscount, I apologize for my rashness and ask for your forgiveness.” The Demon Commander became polite. He held the token in both hands, but did not dare to approach.

With a flash of white light, the token returned to Long Haochen’s grasp, precisely the power of the Saintly Spiritual Stove’s traction. The energy of the Saintly Spiritual Stove is unique and not light attribute, so Long Haochen was not afraid that the other party would see through it. Not letting the other party get close was the most important thing. After all, they were humans. For Demons, whose sense of smell is very sensitive, it would be easy for the other party to discover them without the token’s protection.

“Get up, you filthy fellow. Tell me, where are you going?” Long Haochen looked arrogant, coupled with his handsome appearance, he really had a bit of a playboy’s flavor. However, it was the first time he played this role, and he was obviously a little awkward and immature.

The Demon Commander said respectfully, “Honorable Moon Demon Viscount, we are going to reinforce our clansmen who have entered the Howling Cave.”

“Howling Cave?” Long Haochen’s heart moved. “Where is it? I’ve never heard of it.”

The Demon Commander said, “This cave was discovered by our Demon race. The great Demon Lord Samigina has reported the existence of this cave to the even greater Demon God Emperor. According to our Demon race’s judgment, there seems to be something extraordinary inside the Howling Cave. Now we are sending a vanguard to explore it. We received a distress signal from the exploration team and are going to reinforce them.”

Although he was obviously somewhat fearful of Long Haochen’s identity, he avoided the location of the Howling Cave when he said this, and emphasized that the Demon God Emperor already knew that the Demon race was exploring the cave.

Long Haochen snorted coldly, “If I’m not mistaken, the Howling Cave you’re talking about is on the other side of the mountain, right?”

The Demon Commander’s expression changed drastically. His green face with fangs suddenly looked even more ferocious. He subconsciously said, “Y-you, how did you know?”
Long Hao Chen said proudly, “In this world, is there anything our wise Moon Demon Tribe doesn’t know? Rest assured, a tiny cave is nothing in our eyes. You can go ahead and rescue them. Now, get out of here.”

While speaking these words, his right hand, hidden behind his back, was rapidly signaling to his companions.

This place was at the foot of the mountain, no different from other parts of the Demon territory. Before the appearance of these Greater Demon cavalry, it could be said that no living creatures existed here.

The Demon Commander felt as if he’d been granted amnesty. After bowing to Long Hao Chen with his hand on his chest once more, he quickly returned to his Nightmare Demon Horse and, with a wave of his hand, led his fifty Greater Demon Knights towards the front. There was a relatively flat area there, and with the Nightmare Demon Horse’s abilities, they could easily climb up.

Since they were moving forward, they naturally had to pass by Long Hao Chen and the others. Just as about one-third of the Greater Demon Knights had passed the group, Long Hao Chen suddenly roared, “Attack!”

A massive figure appeared abruptly in front of him. Immediately afterwards, a dozen or so points of light landed on the members of the two Demon Hunt Squads. The terrifying energy composed of tri-colored light pillars exploded and spread out in the next instant.

The gestures Long Hao Chen had made earlier had two meanings: prepare for battle and leave no one alive!
