Xiaojuan didn’t seem to hear them. Her footsteps slowly stalled, looking up at the tube room in front of her. On the roof of the building covered with frost and snow, sat a person.　　

In the dark snow of twilight, the black figure looked at the distance motionlessly. He looked a bit lonely and bleak.

“Eh, is that Chu Qianxun’s man?”

“Yeah, I heard that he is very powerful, even … was beaten by him,” the female companion glanced at Xiaojuan quietly.

“What is he doing sitting there?”

“Don’t you know? He sits there every evening and waits for his woman to come back.”

As she spoke, the figure on the roof suddenly moved, stood up, and leaped lightly from the top of the building, welcoming the person who was returning.

“Peitian, you came out to pick me up again.”

Chu Qianxun, who returned from the demon hunt, took Ye Peitian’s hand and put her chin on his shoulder tiredly, “Ah, I’m so tired today, and I’m hungry.”

Ye Peitian crouched down in front of her, “I’ll carry you.”

Chu Qianxun brazenly climbed up and talked in his ear, “What shall we eat at night?”

“Taro rice, cuttlefish pig tail soup and braised pork.”

Chu Qianxun’s saliva flowed out, “But I’m injured. Before I eat, I need to take special medicine first.”

Ye Peitian’s ears turned red.

Their figure got into the door of the tube building and disappeared.

“Dog food.”

“That woman’s life is very good. I heard that she is sixth-order. She really has a different life.”

While the female companion talked with jealousy, Xiaojuan looked at Chu Qianxun’s back who walked into the tube house, and went insane.

In the early winter season, the movement of various teams to go out to hunt for demons had been greatly reduced, and most people had begun to store supplies, preparing to stay in a safe base, and wait for the severe winter to pass.

The new Spring City host General Jiang issued the first convening order since his succession, convening major mercenary teams and scattered personnel throughout the city to participate in the large blasphemer’s den hunt that appeared about 20 kilometers outside the city.

That move caused thousands of waves in the spring city and was met with many criticisms.

For these heads of mercenary regiments that generally reached the seventh rank, what they urgently needed were crystal cores corresponding to their own ranks to effectively enhance their strength.

There were many demons in the den of the blasphemy outside the city, but the ranks were correspondingly low. The environment of the nest was still complicated. It would be very dangerous to fight, but the gains were disproportionate. The danger outweighs the gains.

The former city lord Huan Shengjie led them to participate in battles such as encircling and suppressing the ninth-order insomniacs and arresting the demon Ye Peitian. So when General Jiang convened that order, apart from the families of those who were deeply trapped in the devil’s cave, most people raised strong objections.

“Who would want to go? I don’t want to go anyway.”

“Jiang Chengzhu is still too young, he doesn’t know much.”

Even the members inside Blizzard dissuaded, “City Lord, the lair appeared there a day or two days ago. Huan Shengjie wouldn’t care about that, so why do we need to do such a thankless thing?”

But they may have forgotten that General Jiang was originally a very arrogant and irritable person.

Sure enough, the next day he went to the podium of the city’s main palace and delivered a short but arbitrary speech.

“I don’t know anything about others. The only thing I can do is to protect my people. In the past, Blizzard’s mercenary regiment was mine, so everyone in the regiment was covered by me. Now this Spring City is mine, so everyone in the city will be protected by me.”

“You probably forgot the blasphemer’s den where the queen exists. How fast would the number grow? Some of you may haven’t been there for a long time.” 

He put our three fingers, “Three days ago, Blizzard’s elite squad went in to find the way. They were stuck inside and couldn’t get out!”

“If we don’t destroy the lair this winter, it will soon take over our existence. The demons live by breeding humans, and by then our entire Spring City will become their breeding ground. Spring City will be like the second Rongcheng. You don’t want to, like the weak people of Rongcheng, screen out your companions and tie them up every month, and sacrifice them to the demons yourself, right?”

Rongcheng base was far away from there, but no one knew what happened there. There was a large blasphemer nest north cave around the base. The demons in the North Cave destroyed all the human bases in that area, leaving the Rongcheng alone, and asked the residents to offer several living people as sacrifices every month. The residents of Rongcheng, unable to resist, compromised and continued this repugnant bad habit to this day.

Hearing that, most people’s hearts were shaken.

“I know what you guys are thinking. Some people think that this battle is low-level and troublesome, and it’s not good for you. You have to think clearly how strong such a large number of low-level demons are.”

“Anyway, I’m done talking. Three days later, in the morning, people have to gather at the city gate. The corps that are reluctant can pack up, take your men with you tonight and get out of our Spring City.”
