Chapter 0290: Crazy Squad

Mo Mo's senses were never wrong, and Qin Yun also believed that the Dragon Lion Beast horde was moving the Demon Beast crystal eggs to a better location for hatching.

"Lao Tan, the Dragon Lion Beast horde might be moving the Demon Beast crystal eggs!" Qin Yun said. "Should we go after them and see? Our target will just be the crystal eggs; there’s no need to kill the beasts."

In a beast horde, if there were many Demon Beast crystal eggs, the most precious things were the crystal eggs. As long as they could obtain the crystal eggs and retreat safely, it would be considered a successful mission.

Lao Tan and Elder Zhou exchanged a glance, nodding in agreement.

They were certainly tempted by the Dragon Lion Beast horde as well. Before, they might have only fantasized about it.

But now, with many supreme immobilization talismans, they had a chance to succeed in a surprise attack and take the Demon Beast crystal eggs!

As long as they could get one Dragon Beast crystal egg, it would be a huge success.

Lao Tan said, "Alright, let's follow them and see! The Dragon Lion Beast is very vigilant and can detect enemies from far away. But don't worry, Elder Zhou's martial soul is special. The energy it releases can conceal our presence, allowing us to get within a hundred meters of the beast horde!"

Getting within a hundred meters was extremely close. At the speed of a martial arts realm expert, they could cover a hundred meters in a second, which was enough time to complete a surprise attack.

"Let's follow them first and form a plan once we see the beast horde!" Lao Tan said excitedly. "If we succeed, it will be a huge harvest for us!"

"Let's go!" Elder Zhou couldn't wait any longer and laughed loudly, following the trail at a fast pace.

It was because of Qin Yun's immobilization talismans that they had the confidence to succeed; otherwise, they wouldn't have even considered it.

Elder Zhou walked ahead, while Qin Yun and the others followed, keeping a distance of over a hundred meters from Elder Zhou.

Following the trail at a fast pace, they tracked them for a day and finally saw, from a distance, a group of beasts treading on ruins, slowly moving toward a destination.

In the depths of the First District, many houses had been flattened, leaving only piles of rubble, and some areas had huge pits. In this flat region, they could see very far.

"Six spirit beasts!" Elder Zhou said gravely based on the residual aura, "This won't be easy to deal with!"

Lao Tan paced back and forth and said, "Ah Yun, just like before, stay suspended at a distance and use the Spirit King Cannon to attack the spirit beasts!"

"Here are thirty more shells—don’t hold back, use them all!" He took out thirty more shells.

Qin Yun nodded seriously and stored the shells in his storage space.

Lao Tan continued, "Zhou Er, you handle the other eighth and ninth-rank Dragon Lion Beasts by yourself. That should be fine, right? Use the immobilization talismans in coordination. Once you immobilize a Dragon Lion Beast, go all out and kill it, attracting some of the beasts!"

"Long Da, Elder Zhou, and I will take care of the three spirit beasts."

"The Dragon Lion Beast horde has a total of six beasts. If there are Demon Beast crystal eggs, at least two spirit beasts will be guarding them. Ah Yun, your target is the spirit beasts guarding the crystal eggs."

"That means I need to be extra careful with the Spirit King Cannon!" Qin Yun said. "I don't want to blow up the crystal eggs!"

"Many seventh and eighth-rank Dragon Lion Beasts are carrying large numbers of human corpses as stored food!" Elder Zhou was concerned about this. "With a large beast horde like this, there are definitely crystal eggs; there’s no need to doubt that."

"We just don't know where they've hidden the crystal eggs!" Elder Zhou added.

"Should we strike during the day?" Qin Yun asked, thinking that if it were night, he could use shadow power to hide better.

"We'll strike during the day! At night, the Dragon Lion Beasts are pitch black and can release a black mist, making them hard to spot—an unfavorable condition for an attack." Elder Zhou said.

"Everyone, don't be stingy with the supreme immobilization talismans—your safety comes first! In critical moments, make sure to throw them out to immobilize the Dragon Lion Beasts!" Qin Yun instructed. "I'll cover you from a distance, and if the situation allows, I'll rush over to grab the crystal eggs!"

He had mastered the Divine Control Technique, which allowed him to control things from a distance, so he was the best suited to grab the crystal eggs. "Alright, it's settled! We'll succeed smoothly this time!" Lao Tan said confidently.

Elder Zhou smiled and said, "Come on, I'll cover you. Ah Yun, if there's no need to hover, don't hover—it makes you an easy target!"

He released the energy that could conceal their presence, enveloping Ah Yun and the others as they approached the demon beast horde ahead.

"0"Damn it! There are many teams watching this horde of dragon demon lions from a distance!" Elder Zhou sensed many presences and cursed under his breath.

"No worries, they won't attack. If they were planning to strike, they would have done it by now. They're just spectating." Lao Tan remained calm.

……

Over two thousand meters away, many people floated a hundred meters high, watching the massive horde of dragon demon lions.

The dragon demon lions were all quite large, the smallest being about ten to twenty meters long, their backs piled with human corpses. The largest were several dozen meters long, like moving small hills.

Hou Xingfeng sighed, "Dragon demon lions are among the strongest demon beasts. No one dares to attack them recklessly!"

The team from Blue Spirit Star Palace was also there.

Several small teams had gathered and discussed teaming up to attack.

They were worried about the cost, as too many people had joined, totaling several hundred. Even if they took down the dragon demon lions, the profits, after distribution, would be minimal.

Moreover, the notoriety of the dragon demon lions was well-known. If several hundred people attacked, half of them might die.

If fewer people attacked, they might not be able to take down the demon beast horde and could even be wiped out.

Therefore, many teams could only watch from afar, not daring to attack.

The dragon demon lion horde also knew there were humans in the distance, but they were not afraid at all. They knew their strength was great, and no one would dare to attack them; otherwise, they wouldn't be strutting around so boldly.

Suddenly, those watching noticed a few moving dots gradually approaching the dragon demon lion horde!

The crowd watching from afar immediately erupted into a commotion!

Among them, some teams had several martial dao realm experts, with team sizes exceeding a hundred, yet they didn't dare to get close to the dragon demon lions.

And now, they saw a few people recklessly approaching the dragon demon lions!

"Who are these guys? Are they crazy?"

"Even if they are all in the martial dao realm, they're going to die!"

"Are they afraid the dragon demon lions will go hungry and are delivering themselves as food?"

"Quick, use a spirit artifact to see who they are! People with such courage should be quite famous, right?"

There was a spirit artifact, like a bamboo tube, that could see objects from ten thousand meters away.

Soon, someone exclaimed, "It's Lao Tan, Cannon King Lao Tan, but the Spirit King Cannon is not in his hands—it's with a young man!"

"He gave such a powerful Spirit King Cannon to a kid? Is he out of his mind?"

"It's indeed Lao Tan's team. These four guys are all in the martial dao realm. But the kid, I have no idea who he is!"

After Hou Xingfeng used the long-distance viewing spirit artifact and clearly saw Qin Yun's face, he exclaimed in surprise, "It's Ah Yun, the one holding the Spirit King Cannon is Ah Yun!"

Lan Fengjin was also watching and cursed under her breath, "That damn kid is really losing it with those guys! I thought that small team would keep him safe."

Yang Shiyue took the long-distance viewing spirit artifact and, upon seeing Ah Yun, her face showed both surprise and anxiety. "It's really Ah Yun! What are they thinking? Don't they know how strong the dragon demon lions are?"

Xie Wufeng frowned and said, "Brother Yun might seem impulsive, but he knows his limits! Did you see how close they got to the Demon Beasts without being detected?"

Xiao Yuelan also used a distant viewing artifact to watch Qin Yun and the others, and whispered, "Their target is the Demon Beast crystal egg! The crystal egg of the Dragon Devil Lions is extremely precious!"

Xiao Yanglong snorted coldly, "They need the strength to actually obtain it. Aren't you going to help them? Do you plan to just watch that kid die there?"

"They must have a well-thought-out plan. If we go, we'll only ruin their plan!" Xiao Yuelan humphed, "Just wait and see, they might succeed!"

Lan Fengjin didn't say anything more, as she knew Qin Yun's binding talisman was very powerful. With enough binding talismans, they really might succeed!

An elder nearby sighed, "What a waste of the powerful Spirit King Cannon, it's going to be destroyed by the Dragon Devil Lions! Old Tan, the Cannon King, how could he be so reckless? He's usually a very cautious person!"

"Exactly! How could he give such a thing to a kid! Sigh, they're finished!"

"Well, this isn’t all bad. At least we’ll get to witness the power of the Dragon Devil Lions firsthand!"

"Hehe, Old Tan and the others’ deaths aren’t a total loss if it helps us understand how the Dragon Devil Lions attack!"

Many strong onlookers were discussing among themselves.

Xiao Yanglong sneered, "See? Most people think Qin Yun and his team are doomed, yet you still naively believe in them! Why don’t you go save Qin Yun then!"

"You're just trying to provoke us into ruining Qin Yun's plan!" Lan Fengjin sneered coldly, "Xiao Yanglong, shut your dirty mouth and just watch quietly!"

Xiao Yanglong laughed heartily, relishing the thought of witnessing Qin Yun’s impending death. Moreover, Yang Shiyue and Xiao Yuelan would also have to watch Qin Yun die tragically.

He suddenly felt that this was the happiest day in many years.

Because of the burnt beast oil, his disciple's death, and their plan falling apart, Xiao Yanglong's mood had been extremely bad these past few days, but now it had improved significantly.

...

Qin Yun didn't know that Xiao Yuelan and the others were watching from afar.

Elder Zhou released a shroud of concealing energy and said, "Ah Yun, this energy will last for a while. Our success hinges on you!"

With the Spirit King Cannon in hand, Qin Yun, the key to their success or failure, felt immense pressure.

"Don't worry, we'll succeed this time! Remember, don't hesitate to use the binding talismans. If they run out, I can always refine more!" Qin Yun said confidently.
