Chapter 425: The Operation Has Started (1/2)

Deep within the confines of the marshes, where the Stoneguise Lizards laid dormant in the waters, There was Qing Chai, cleaning against the fence as she looked down at them lovingly. They were like the eyes of a mother and yet, there was something sinister about them.

As if, she did not truly love them.

”We greet, Mistress Qing.”

Behind her were five other Vore Demons, all beautiful women with scarfs covering their mouths. They knelt on one knee, cupping their fists and lowering their heads as they greeted her.

After a moment, Qing Chai turned around and looked at them with a smile before noticing something.

”Where is my fourth daughter?” she asked.

They looked at each other before one of them looked up.

”We do not know, Fourth Sister said that she would be going out for a meal. Perhaps, she had found some difficult prey”, she answered.

Qing Chai's eyes sharpened as she gazed at each and every one of them.

”I see, go out and search for her. If there is no sign or trace of her, then she must've been taken by those humans.”

Another one of the sisters giggled as she looked at her.

”Will we be having a feast soon?”

Qing Chai looked at her before smiling.

”Yes, though we do need to wait a little bit, Lord Kong Zhi or rather Shi Hou has yet to let us do as we please. But...”

The Red Empress bend down, getting closer to all of them.

”If you do find a snack out there, don't let it go to waste.”

Her voice was very light and teasing but her words caused all of her daughters to let out a smile under their scarfs. Although it was difficult to see, one could catch glimpses of their jagged fangs.

”Thank you, Mistress Qing.”

They stood up and walked away, returning to their own abodes. And Qing Chai went back to looking at the Stoneguise Lizards.

”So it looks like they want to play, don't they? A game before a meal is always fun.”

She spoke to herself, revealing a contorted smile behind her mask.

In light of that, the coming times were had grown much more dangerous. And for those at the camp, they knew that the time to act was arriving soon.

Then a date was set and everyone gathered in the middle base. From the soldiers to the craftsmen and to sect disciples of the Jadewood Sect. All of them stood patiently, waiting for the words of Commander Yu Zhen and Zi Jing, both of whom were standing in front of them.

There was murmuring among everyone as to what they wanted to talk about before Yu Zhen spoke up.

”Alright, everyone! Some of you may know that on this side of the continent, we are deep within enemy territory. In the marshes near us are members of Kong Zhi's army, a small group of Vore Demons!”

Upon hearing those two words, everyone looked to each other, having long heard about these horrifying beings.

”One of our hunting groups had come across them and nearly died escaping. That was two months ago and now, we are going to kill them. During this operation, Commander Zi Jing, as well as Captian Ya Lang, will be joined by twenty of our best and Fairy of the Moon, Ming Yue. I will be staying here with all of you in case things go awry. At the same time, we will have squads prepared for a rescue if needed. Those who have already been informed, have been briefed on the plans. As for when this will happen, it will be tomorrow. That is all, you are dismissed.”

The two commanders left but those gathered in the middle of the camp were busy talking among themselves.

”Vore Demons? Here? How unlucky.”

”But the commanders said that they were going to kill them, no? I don't think we should be that worried.”
