Chapter 264 - First Day of Underground Reconnaissance (2/2)

“Flee after we slaughter some. If we end up fleeing too late to slaughter more than 10,000 humans, it’ll be too late for regret.”

The demon monarchs chatted and drank.

“What’s that?” The demon monarchs were suddenly taken aback.

Resplendent dark-red streams of light appeared in the hall at lightning speed. They tore through the demon monarchs’ heads.

“Not good.”

“Human Godfiend!” Only the two third Firmament demon monarchs reacted, but they were unable to dodge. The Darkstar Quintessential Essence penetrated their heads.

In the blink of an eye, seven demon monarchs and more than 100 ordinary demons died in this demon lair.

Killing these demon monarchs means saving lives. Meng Chuan appeared in the hall with a cold expression. When he heard the demon monarchs’ conversation, he became even angrier. Every demon monarch had too many human lives on their hands.

Whoosh.

With a wave of his hand, Meng Chuan stored the seven demon monarch corpses and their items in his Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead.

In just 15 minutes, I killed seven demon monarchs. It’s indeed much faster than on the surface. When he was in charge of six states, he only received one rescue mission every half-month. Meng Chuan wouldn’t be deployed when ordinary demon monarchs attacked cities. He was but one person, after all. Meng Chuan would usually fly around Jiang State Capital and intercept the demon monarchs when he discovered them. Even so, killing 200 to 300 demon monarchs a year was already pretty good.

Continue.

Meng Chuan continued flying.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was vast. The route from east to west spanned 10,000 kilometers long. Further west was the Black Sand Dynasty.

After flying 10,000 kilometers, Meng Chuan only discovered one demon monarch lair.

Continue.

Meng Chuan continued flying the same 10,000 kilometers. From the west to the east, it was parallel to the route from before. This was also the rule of a blanket search. He basically didn’t miss out on anything by scanning the area over and over again.

Meng Chuan didn’t find a single demon monarch lair on his second 10,000-kilometer stretch.

He continued flying!

For more than 12 hours, Meng Chuan continued to scan the underground with his electromagnetic domain. He traveled the 10,000-kilometer stretch 20 times. At 40 kilometers from the surface, he traveled 10,000 kilometers 16 times! At a depth of 80 kilometers underground, he traveled 10,000 kilometers four times! He traveled at a depth of 80 kilometers underground in an attempt to find fourth Firmament demon monarchs.

Clang!

He broke through the soil and soared into the sky.

Meng Chuan flew towards Jiang State Capital from the East Sea. It was already a dark evening. He couldn’t hide the fatigue on his face. Although it was very easy for him to maintain the Divine Eye of Lightning, he still felt extremely exhausted after 12 hours. His Essence Soul was somewhat dispirited. He had to go back and rest.

Whoosh.

Meng Chuan flew through the clouds. At that moment, he realized that it was actually very relaxing when he didn’t keep the Divine Eye of Lightning active.

Soon, he arrived at Jiang State Capital. Meng Chuan flew down and returned to Meng Manor’s Lake Heart Pavilion.

Liu Qiyue was already waiting in the hall. There were plates of food on the table. “He’s here.” Liu Qiyue’s eyes lit up. Invisible flames immediately seeped into the food, raising the temperature of the food. Meng Chuan arrived in the hall, and he took in the aroma of food; it was fragrant. “How fragrant,” praised Meng Chuan. He was quite satisfied that he could smell the fragrance of piping hot food after an exhausting day.

“You’er and An’er just finished eating and went to rest,” said Liu Qiyue. “How was your first day out?”

“Tiring, but enjoyable.” Meng Chuan sat down and finished the tea that his wife prepared in one gulp. He smiled and said, “Today, I discovered 11 demon monarch lairs. I killed 116 demon monarchs and thousands of ordinary demons. I finally understand how King White Treasure killed 20,000 to 30,000 demon monarchs a year by himself.”
