Demons Beside You

When everyone went to the entrance of the chamber, they saw that the ground was littered with limbs. But they were all from Crypt Demons.

 If they were a human"s limbs, it might be easier to accept.

 But now, one human had butchered so many Crypt Demons.

 This was beyond their imagination.

 Chen Zhao was still dripping with blood.

 “Murphy, come patch me up.”

 Of all these people, Chen Zhao only trusted Murphy.

 Murphy hurried over to Chen Zhao. “Boss, are you okay?”

 “I"m fine,” Chen Zhao said coolly. “I won"t be dying.”

 In reality, he was hurting everywhere.

 It was hard to pretend to be macho.

 Right now, the guys who had been the fiercest earlier didn"t dare to speak to Chen Zhao anymore.

 They could only hide in the back with their heads down, pretending nothing had happened.

 “Let"s go.”

 “Mr. Chen,” Carlo suddenly called out. “We"re already here. Why don"t we go to the next level? We"re so close to our destination.”

 Chen Zhao turned around and looked at him. “You weren"t the one who fought. You really think I"m your fighter now?”

 “But don"t you find it regretful?”

 “No, I don"t find it regretful at all,” Chen Zhao said indifferently. “I just want to go home now, take a bath, and sleep in my bed. I"ll kill whoever stops me from going home to sleep.”

 “Murphy, is this what you think too?”

 Carlo realized he couldn"t persuade Chen Zhao, so he could only find a breakthrough in Murphy.

 “I"m tired too,” Agnes said. “Murphy, if you want to die again, just go ahead.”

 She could tell that Chen Zhao was upset.

 After all, she was the one who"d forced him to come.

 Now that Murphy was found, if he caused more trouble, he"d probably anger Chen Zhao.

 Even though Chen Zhao was covered in injuries, he probably still had leftover strength.

 No one dared to stop him if he wanted to kill someone.

 Agnes" original goal was only to rescue Murphy.

 She didn"t come to search for treasures or potions.

 Carlo"s breathing grew heavier.

 He wasn"t willing. It was so close.

 But Chen Zhao refused to help him.

 He really wanted to raise his gun and aim at Chen Zhao.

 But he lacked the courage.

 Could his gun really kill this guy?

 If he failed, he would be the one dying instead.

 Carlo finally made a decision.

 Without warning, he grabbed Murphy and pressed the gun barrel to Murphy"s temple.

 “Mr. Chen, if you don"t want Murphy to die, you better go to the top and get the immortality potion and blood badge. Otherwise, Murphy will die.”

 Carlo had decided to use Murphy as a hostage.

 Chen Zhao only had to listen to him. Then Carlo would take Murphy away from here and find somewhere to hide after leaving the site.

 “Carlo, how can you do this?” Murphy was still too naïve. “Can you not joke like this?”

 “Carlo, do you want to die?” Agnes was also furious.

 She didn"t think that Carlo would go to such extremes and take her son as a hostage.

 “Let him go now and I"ll pretend nothing happened.” Chen Zhao looked at Carlo with a dark expression.

 “Mr. Chen, either you ignore Murphy and kill me, or you listen obediently.”

 Staring at Carlo, Chen Zhao took out the bronze sword.

 Seeing him take out the sword, the surrounding people stepped back subconsciously.

 Bang!

 There was a sudden gunshot.

 Carlo whipped his head around and stared at Fannity with disbelief.

 “Why…”

 Unfortunately, he didn"t have time to hear Fannity"s explanation.

 Murphy stood in place, a bit frightened.

 Fannity looked at Carlo"s body and stated, “I just didn"t want to die here.”

 She looked at everyone. “Any complaints?”

 What complaints? You already killed the man.

 If anyone complained now, they would become the enemy of that Asian monster.

 “Seems like everyone has unified thoughts. Mr. Chen, let"s leave this place.”

 Chen Zhao put his sword away.

 No one knew where he hid the sword.

 Now, they could only use the lights on their helmets to illuminate the surroundings.

 Thankfully, no Crypt Demons would attack them now.

 “These Crypt Demons aren"t wild beasts with low intelligence,” Agnes said. “They seem to have a group mindset.

 What was “group mindset”?

 Humans were a species with a group mindset.

 It meant that they instinctively gave in to logic and used logic to make decisions.

 In other words, they weren"t complete beasts.

 Chen Zhao could feel them use their special senses to watch them leave.

 Perhaps they were memorizing Chen Zhao to find him for revenge later.

 But Chen Zhao was honestly tired today.

 He didn"t want to keep wasting time here.

 Perhaps, he should find a time to kill all the Crypt Demons here.

 Okay, that was still a bit difficult.

 The Crypt Demons that he"d killed were only a small portion.

 If all of them came, even Chen Zhao would have to surrender.

 Sigh. He had to do less of these unbeneficial things.

 If he"d known, he would not have agreed to the one-million-dollar payment.

 Was it too late to turn back now?

 All he got was a key that he didn"t know what he could do with.

 And the promise with the Dracula family that seemed useless too.

 Could he make them give him one billion dollars with the promise?

 After leaving, he realized the air outside had become fresher.

 “Mr. Chen, I apologize to you for Professor Carlo"s actions.” Fannity looked at him with sincerity.

 Chen Zhao didn"t like beating around the bush. He was more willing to talk to logical and smart people like Fannity.

 Instead of crazy people like Carlo who only thought of expeditions.

 “Do you have any plans for the future?”

 “Continue the expeditions, of course,” Fannity said.

 Tyler was dead. She"d also killed Carlo with her own hands.

 This didn"t mean that her pursuit had ended.

 “Then, goodbye.” Chen Zhao waved.

 Agnes called the helicopter over.

 They disappeared from the air and soon were close to Mirror Lake.

 “Don"t land near the house. Land outside the forest, further away.”

 Chen Zhao didn"t want Fali to see him covered in wounds.

 “Boss, let me help you back.”

 “I"m not dead yet. I don"t need help.”

 Chen Zhao snuck back home and dove into the River Map.

 What was the best place to heal?

 Obviously, it was inside the River Map.

 There was a 1,000-time difference in time. He could spend 1,000 hours in the map and only one hour would pa.s.s outside.

 He could heal himself in peace here.
