CHAPTER 403: CHAPTER 238: NINE-LEVEL DEMON TOWER, RUTHLESS BAI YAN (TWO IN ONE)_3

Clicking on the task hall, the task page displayed a series of missions.

Skipping over the tasks posted by the Three-eyed Demons, Qin Shou clicked on the section for tasks released by the Four-eyed Demons.

Scanning through the tasks, Qin Shou lowered his head in thought.

If he wanted to change his alias, the target should ideally be a Four-eyed Demon with strength around Level 3, Star 3.

After all, only Four-eyed Demons or higher were qualified to accept tasks issued by Five-eyed Demons.

The potential and strength of Three-eyed Demons were limited. Most Five-eyed Demons had no interest in them, and those with a family background didn’t lack manpower, so they didn’t need to post tasks themselves.

Take Xiong Mu, for example. If not for his family’s decline, he wouldn’t be recruiting so many Two-eyed and Three-eyed Demons.

In short, Qin Shou planned to first take on the identity of a Four-eyed Demon.

...

Three days later.

Dark Swamp.

High above, a giant beast roared as eight Demon Eye Star People descended from the Flying Dragon Puppet, landing on the marshy shore below.

The leading Four-eyed Demon turned to look at the seven Three-eyed Demons behind him, his gaze finally locking on Qin Shou in the group.

"Ji Yan, your Monster Puppets are best at ambushing from behind. You’ll be responsible for this part later. I’ll have them distract the Swamp Giant Crocodile."

Qin Shou’s cheek twitched as he nodded. "Don’t worry, Lord Liang Yan. Ambushing monsters is my specialty."

Yesterday during the "interview," Brother Monkey, disguised as a Gorilla Puppet, had left a deep impression on this Four-eyed Demon with his technique, Thousand-Year Kill.

Liang Yan then continued to formulate the battle plan and produced the corpse of a Nightmare Demon Sheep from his Magic Eye.

Without delay, Liang Yan instructed Qin Shou and the others to drain its blood, letting the warm liquid flow into the swamp while the group hid in the shadows, waiting for the Swamp Giant Crocodile to appear.

Soon enough, as the blood stained the swamp, the ground trembled slightly, as though some giant beast was about to emerge.

Before Liang Yan could speak, Qin Shou shouted, "Everyone, don’t move. I’ll count to three before we act."

The other Three-eyed Demons were startled. What’s with this guy? How dare he give orders in front of a Four-eyed Demon?

Liang Yan sneered internally. Just wait until we’re back—I’ll deal with you then!

Qin Shou ignored their thoughts. Seeing the crocodile emerge and begin gnawing on the corpse, he calmly began counting.

"One!"

"Two!"

At this moment, everyone held their breath, a faint glow flickering in their Magic Eyes as they prepared to act.

"Three!"

With a roar, Qin Shou shouted, and the group immediately unleashed their Magic Eyes on their Monster Puppets, surrounding the crocodile as it feasted on the corpse.

Suddenly, dense tendrils erupted violently from the ground beneath their feet, binding everyone except Qin Shou tightly.

"It’s an ambush!"

Liang Yan cried out in alarm, but the next moment, a thick tendril pierced directly through him in a single, devastating blow.

"Ugh... gah!!"

Seeing Liang Yan’s intestines impaled by the tendril, the remaining Three-eyed Demons were filled with terror.

For these Summoners who had lost the protection of their Monster Puppets, Qin Shou gave a sinister smile.

To be safe, Qin Shou abandoned the idea of taking advantage of the chaos after the main battle.

After all, that trick was far too predictable.
