"Oh right, system!" Lorne patted his head.
He was now the system's host. He was much more powerful than the spirit body.
Since the second elf mission had been given out, the system would definitely not give him a problem where he could suffer a backlash at any time.
Besides, he obtained his twin elves previously. Every time Lorne leveled them up, he did so separately so he did not feel any abnormal reactions. Lorne felt relieved when he thought of this.
Then, he thought of something again, took out his phone, and opened the communication channel. A notice attracted Lorne's attention.
"Attention: 70 kilometers south of the base city, a demon lair has been discovered!"
"Warning: 30 kilometers south of the base city, the demon leader of the lair is flying toward the direction in the map. To all spirit envoys, safety first!"
Lorne opened the map attached to the announcement. He was shocked. Was it not the direction the demon was heading toward previously?
"Wasn't that middle-aged woman chasing the demon? Could it be that the demon has changed its direction again? It can't be that it's coming to my location!"
Lorne did not dare to stay any longer when he thought of the series of strange events that had happened just now. He summoned Dina, who had just finished absorbing the aura, and Nita.
"Let's go. Let's leave this place first."
After putting away his things, Lorne got on his small motorcycle and left quickly. When he left, he also took away Hehai's communication device and some things
In just a few minutes, Lorne had departed about a kilometer away from the hill. Then he stopped and looked at the direction from where he had left. After waiting there for a while, a red light flashed in the sky.
"It's coming!"
Lorne hid.
Nita also came out from the space of the magic lamp and looked into the distance like Lorne. Lorne could not help but smile at her cautious look.
Soon, Lorne saw a figure dressed entirely in red appeared in the sky above where he had been standing.
"Is this the powerful demon that the Federation mentioned? It doesn't seem like it." Lorne muttered to himself.
The purpose of this figure coming here was unknown, regardless of whether it was the demon that had caused the entire Jiang City to panic.
From Nita's reaction, Lorne knew that this figure in the distance was abnormally powerful. Furthermore, Nita's perception toward demons was abnormally keen. From his telepathic perception, Lorne was certain that this figure in front of him was most likely the powerful demon that the Federation had mentioned.
Furthermore, Lorne was now certain of one thing. This figure's sudden arrival must have something to do with the strange Hell of Boulder Crushing that he had encountered previously!
It was more likely that it was directly related to the eyeballs that Nita brought out from within. Otherwise, there was no way to explain why this figure appeared right after Lorne had left. From the looks of it, it seemed like this figure was looking for something.
'To be able to cause such a huge reaction in Jiang City, it must be at least a level-8 demon. But how did a level-8 demon get in from the border?' Lorne thought for a moment.
The demons that occasionally got in from outside the base city were mostly ordinary level-2 or level-3 demons. There were many of these demons, so it was normal for them to occasionally get in, but they could not threaten the city's order.
However, it was different if they were level-6 or above. These demons were powerful and they were usually commander-level demons. They were the focus of the border defense. Unless the border defense collapsed, it was impossible for a high-level demon to sneak in and only be discovered until now.
Just as Lorne was thinking, Hehai's communication device vibrated. Lorne picked it up and saw a message. He opened the message.
"Hehai, how's the situation on your side? D*mn it, Boss and I are forty minutes late. Lorne is sneaky and ran away again! When I catch him, I'll definitely chop off his legs first so he won't be able to run away anymore!"
"I almost forgot about you two guys."
Lorne first encountered a strange incident and then launched a new elf mission. He had forgotten about the guy who wanted to kill him.
"Since you guys are so eager to find me, then let's settle everything today!"
Lorne began to think of a way. Not long after, Lorne had a plan. Then, he picked up Hehai's communicator and sent a message: "I'm still here. Come back."
After that, Lorne put down the communicator and quietly observed the red figure. The red figure stayed there for a few minutes. Probably not feeling what it was looking for, it turned into a red light again and rushed in one direction.
After the red figure left, Lorne ran to Iron Valley Mountain. Soon, Lorne reached the halfway point of the mountain.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened. Lorne did not set up a tent. He lay down against a tree branch to rest. Nita sat beside him and quietly looked down the mountain.
Ten minutes later, a small hand tugged at the hem of Lorne's clothes. Lorne opened his eyes. Under the moonlight, Lorne saw a few figures appear at the foot of Iron Valley Mountain.
"They really came after us," Lorne muttered.
It was the middle-aged woman who led the spirit envoy group Lorne had met before. The middle-aged woman and the others stayed at the foot of Iron Valley Mountain for a while before leaving again.
Lorne continued to close his eyes and rest. After more than three hours, it was already late at night. Lorne opened his eyes, took out Hehai's communicator, and sent a message: "Boss, come quickly. I see Lorne but he's resting. It seems that he's preparing to go up the mountain tomorrow morning to deal with that demon."
As soon as this message was sent, the other party immediately sent a message: "As expected, he went to Iron Valley Mountain. This kid is really ruthless. He actually traveled through the night! You keep watch. We'll be right there. Let's attack together and make it difficult for him to escape!"
"Done."
Lorne closed his eyes and continued to rest.
"Lorne really went to the Iron Valley Mountain. Let's go. This time, he's dead for sure."
On the other side, the square-faced man woke up Yuanlong and the bald man. The bald man glanced at his communication device and said, "Your companion sent you a message. Why didn't my subordinates send me a message?"
"Hey, isn't this normal? They've been squatting for so long. They must be bored so they gathered together. Since they know Hehai sent me a message, why would they send it to you again?"
The square-faced man said, "Let's quickly go back and kill him while he's resting. The earlier we complete the mission, the earlier we can go back. I always feel uneasy outside here. What if we encounter the demon that the Federation mentioned?"
After saying that, the few of them began to head toward Iron Valley Mountain.
"President, that demon has changed its direction twice in a row today. I think it must've discovered something."
