Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2920: Chapter 2919: Turncoat

Upon hearing Lin Dong’s words, Dracula’s face turned somewhat ugly.

"Brother Lin, to avoid complications, I think we should leave earlier."

Lin Dong waved his hand and said, "You can go by yourself. Otherwise, follow my schedule."

Lin Dong was extremely assertive, not giving the schedule and control to Dracula.

Achieving first place on the Five Elements Stele was also a matter of great importance to him.

If he could reach first place on the Five Elements Stele, then he would receive two rewards from it.

Neither of those rewards would be too shabby.

Besides, going to the Ancient General’s Tomb, what difference does it make if it’s earlier or later?

Moreover, Lin Dong wasn’t inclined to let others freely dictate his time.

Quickly, they arrived at another Demon Emperor.

This Demon Emperor’s strength was clearly inferior to the previous one.

It only had the strength of a two-star Demon Emperor and sensed Lin Dong and the others approaching, it immediately looked towards them.

And upon seeing Lin Dong, it couldn’t help but exclaim.

"It’s you, the harbinger of disaster!" It spoke in human language, actually recognizing Lin Dong.

Lin Dong frowned and asked, "You recognize me?"

"Of course I recognize you, otherwise, why would I come here to avoid you? I came here precisely to hide from you!" The Demon Emperor spoke with a bit of a tremble.

Unlike other Demon Emperors, after receiving the message to avoid Lin Dong, it had seen Lin Dong’s portrait.

Remembering him deeply.

Unlike other demon beasts who were foolish, aiming to avoid the ’harbinger of disaster’ among the Demon Clan, yet couldn’t even recognize what the disaster-bringer looked like.

Wasn’t that just too stupid?

So it was also the first to recognize Lin Dong.

"My luck is just too bad, hiding in this barren place, yet he still found me, really stepping in dog shit luck." It lamented in its heart without end.

Next, it had no intention of fleeing, as it knew that with its current speed, escaping was simply impossible.

Given Lin Dong’s strength, how could he let it get away?

It directly pleaded for mercy to Lin Dong.

"Master, spare my life. I beg you, spare me, I am completely vegetarian, I beg the master to spare my life."

Seeing this, Lin Dong seemed a bit speechless, he had never seen such a spineless Demon Emperor.

Ye Linglong also froze for a moment, it was her first time seeing such a cowardly Demon Emperor, was this still the Demon Emperor she had in mind?

Didn’t those other Demon Emperors they encountered before act all arrogant and conceited?

Why was this one so timid?

Lin Dong also found it kind of funny and exasperating, he asked, "Give me a reason to spare you."

"I don’t eat people, I am vegetarian. Is that reason enough?" The two-star Demon Emperor said tremblingly.

"I don’t care whether you’re vegetarian, I want to hunt Demon Emperors to reach first place on the Five Elements Stele," Lin Dong shook his head, "I’ll give you another chance, if you can provide me with a satisfactory reason, I can let you go."

The Demon Emperor trembled all over, suddenly thinking of a reason.

"Master, master. I know there is a demon beast family around here. They have gathered together, a total of four Demon Emperors and eight Demon Kings."

"They are all water snake-like demon beasts, belonging to one family. In this area, they have dominated for many years. When they encounter passing humans, they do not spare them. They even consume other demon beasts..."

"Let me take you to eliminate them, will you spare me?"

"Hmm?" Lin Dong was clearly not expecting it to come up with such a shrewd tactic.

Directly selling out the other demon beasts to save its own life.

Lin Dong stroked his chin, considering for a while.

"Master, if you kill me, it’s just one more Demon Emperor you hunted, but I can take you to hunt four Demon Emperors. Wouldn’t reaching first place on the Five Elements Stele be quicker this way?"

It was indeed clever, directly considering the issue from Lin Dong’s perspective.

Lin Dong was also persuaded by it.

"Okay, take me there. If there really are four Demon Emperors as you said, and you take me there, I can spare your life," Lin Dong said.

Hearing this, the two-star Demon Emperor was overjoyed, seeing an opportunity to live.

And hearing Lin Dong’s agreement, Dracula suddenly said from the side: "Brother Lin, you should think it over more carefully."

"Many demon beasts, especially at the Demon Emperor level, are very cunning. What if the place it takes you to is extremely dangerous?"

"Or perhaps a place of prohibition, going there might mean not being able to return."

"Or, it takes you to a Demon Emperor nest guarded by a Five-Star Demon Emperor, bringing you there means taking your life."

What he mentioned had indeed happened to people before.

But Lin Dong was not worried.

Because he had a Spiritual Power Domain, as long as he knew a general direction, getting close within a certain range, he could perceive danger.

That way, he could prematurely judge whether the Demon Emperor was leading him into a trap or indeed leading him to destroy that demon beast family as it said.

The two-star Demon Emperor, hearing Dracula’s words, quickly explained itself, "I’m not."

"I genuinely just want to survive! I absolutely dare not have any harmful thoughts towards the master."

It’s quite human-like, calling ’master’ repeatedly, having learned that human form of address.

Moreover, it had also learned certain human traitorous behaviors.

Lin Dong waved his hand, "Enough nonsense, lead the way. I warn you, do not play tricks, otherwise, you’ll regret it."

"I won’t, absolutely won’t play tricks," the two-star Demon Emperor said, trembling.

Then, hurrying to lead the way up ahead.

It led Lin Dong and the others, traversing through the Black Mist Domain.

This Black Mist Domain, within it contained many ’void spaces’, with many spaces folded, making it seem small, but was indeed vast.

The two-star Demon Emperor, leading the three, walked for an unknown duration, finally arriving at a black reef stone forest.

In this black reef stone forest, the dense water elements surrounding it almost seemed tangible, with a humid yet slightly chilly breath permeating the air.

Within the stone forest, variously shaped black reefs lay scattered diligently, like giant beasts slumbering, quietly guarding the ancient land.

In the central area of this stone forest lay numerous caves, each resembling a portal to an unknown world, emitting a beguiling aura of mystery.

However, within these caves contained an unsettling dark mist.

The mist seemed alive, slowly undulating at the mouth of the caves, consuming any light attempting to explore its internal secrets.

Even Lin Dong’s immensely powerful Spiritual Power Domain could not penetrate this thick darkness and explore its mysteries.

"This area is the territory of that snake clan demon family—the Dark Ghost Snake Clan."

The voice of the two-star Demon Emperor sounded in Lin Dong’s ear, carrying a hint of reverence and dread.
