Divine Seal: From a Heavy Sword to Slicing Through the Holy Demon Continent

If they start trying to enter the Cave of Fear and Howl at this point, it will definitely put Cai'er and the others in a disadvantageous position.

As he carefully recalled these events, Long Haoyu's expression grew increasingly solemn.

"This matter seems unavoidable. Even if I take care of the demon leader who is providing support first, I cannot enter alone."

"Otherwise, everything would have unfolded as I know it, and I would have eventually entered the Cave of Fear and Howl, and Cai'er and the others would have continued to fight against the other demons."

"With so many high-level demons here, Cai'er will definitely have to use the Six Paths of Reincarnation ability again!"

He pondered these things silently in his heart.

Long Haoyu felt that things were getting a bit tricky.

Suddenly, a brilliant light flashed in his eyes.

"No, I'm actually thinking of doing these things in a conventional way. Obviously, I can make some changes to this!"

"Regardless of whether I am lying in wait here to ambush and kill the demon leader who is providing support, as long as I eventually enter the Cave of Fear and Howl, the subsequent events will not change."

"If we want to change these things, I'm afraid we'll have to all go into the Cave of Fear and Howl together. And then I'll probably have to continue playing the role of the old knight and explain things from that perspective!"

After sorting out his thoughts, Long Haoyu concealed the brilliant light in his eyes and silently made this decision in his heart.

Cai'er observed Long Haoyu's reaction and did not ask any further questions, but tilted her head and looked at Long Haoyu.

At this moment, he was giving off an air of "I won't ask, but I just know you'll definitely tell me."

Long Haoyu was somewhat speechless. Looking at Cai'er's current state, he smiled slightly and explained, "The Cave of Fear and Howl is deep within the Demon Realm, and this place is near the Central Province of the Demon Realm."

"Such a cave would definitely be explored by demons. We could see traces of demons on the way up the mountain. If I'm not mistaken, demons should be investigating it now."

"I suspect that more demons will come to our aid, so we shouldn't rush into the Cave of Fear and Howl. Let's wait here and wait for them to come to us first."

"If there are reinforcements, then we'll deal with the demon reinforcements first and then consider what to do next. If not, then naturally everyone will be happy."

"And finally, we'll enter the Cave of Fear and Howl together!"

Cai'er remained silent, realizing that Long Haoyu had other things on his mind and that now was not the right time to talk about them. She stopped pretending to want to know the answer and returned to her usual relaxed state.

In her mind, there was no need to pursue such matters any further; she simply said, "Let's enter the North Campus Cave of Fear together in the end."

These ten or so words are enough!

Chapter 337 Demon Slayer, King-Level Mission

Long Haoyu observed all of Cai'er's reactions.

Seeing that Cai'er had no intention of asking any further questions about the matter, his unease subsided.

To be honest, he was really worried that if Cai'er continued to press him on this matter, it would become really troublesome to deal with.

No matter what, the priority is to deal with the demons who came to support us first, otherwise we won't be able to enter the Cave of Fear and Howl with peace of mind.

and……

Without these prerequisites, trying to apply the old knight's rhetoric would definitely not work.

Seeing that Long Haoyu continued to look around, Cai'er also became wary.

She believed that Long Haoyu must have had his reasons for doing so.

Since Long Haoyu was so vigilant, she couldn't possibly let herself relax at this moment.

Besides...

This is near the Central Province of the Demon Realm.

Any carelessness can become a fatal factor.

Not long after, the demons of the demon race marched toward the Cave of Fear and Howl.

Long Haoyu woke up the resting group, and everything was arranged without a word.

They gave the demon reinforcements absolutely no chance to react, and wiped them out almost instantly.

It wasn't until all the demons of the demon race had been dealt with that Lin Xin and the others belatedly realized what had happened.

"Boss, you really are a genius! There really are demon reinforcements. Now that we've dealt with these demons, can we head straight to the Cave of Fear and Howl?" Lin Xin asked, skillfully transferring the demon corpses into his ring.

Long Haoyu has broken through to the sixth rank, and Cai'er has also reached the sixth rank. They can almost crush these demons. Many of the demon corpses are well preserved.

These corpses were a huge fortune in Lin Xin's eyes. As the manager of the entire team, he faced enormous financial pressure every day.

"Prepare for action. Head towards the Cavern of Fear and Howl in the direction these demon reinforcements are moving."

Without wasting words, Long Haoyu shouted decisively and led everyone to rush towards the other side of the mountain.

Soon, the group successfully arrived near the Cave of Fear and Howl.

The Cave of Fear and Howl, though called a cave, is actually more like a fissure.

It is about three meters wide and six or seven meters high. At first glance, it is pitch black inside, and you can't see the end at all. You have no idea how deep it is.

There are many other fine cracks around this opening, clearly caused by the sound waves from the wailing within the cave.

The rock formations here are incredibly hard, several levels harder than granite.

"Damn, these howls are terrifying! We can feel their horror even before we've entered. If we actually went in, we'd probably lose half our lives!"

"The Alliance's mission is really subpar. Why wasn't there any prior explanation about how terrifying these howls were? Is this really what a general-level mission should be like?"

Lin Xin stared in horror at the Howling Cave, and couldn't help but complain as he listened to the howling sounds.

The others all had the same reaction as Lin Xin, their brows furrowed deeply.

but……

When their gazes fell upon Long Haoyu, their expressions all became strange.

Long Haoyu's expression was very calm at this moment.

The mournful howl was indeed terrifying, but it had no effect on him.

even……

In Lin Xin's and the others' eyes, it seemed that Long Haoyu already knew about all of this in advance, so he couldn't be surprised at all.

Cai'er observed Long Haoyu's current situation, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Lin Xin observed again and couldn't help but ask, "Boss, you don't know what's going on here, do you? I don't sense any surprise from you at all."

Everyone had the same thought in their hearts, and looking at Long Haoyu's calm appearance, they couldn't understand it from the bottom of their hearts.

This is deep within the Demon Realm, and it's utterly baffling that Long Haoyu, who has never been here before, showed no surprise.

Looking at everyone's situation, Long Haoyu suddenly thought of what would have happened after returning to the Holy City from this mission.

"It seems I can manipulate things this time. I might as well take the blame for the mission tower. Otherwise, our Prince Demon Hunter Team might really cause a big mess."

"Especially now, there's me too!"

A soft sigh escaped my lips.

Long Haoyu met the crowd's questions with a firm gaze.

“That’s right. I already knew about the situation here beforehand, which is why I accepted this mission without any hesitation.”

"Of course, we considered the reward of 20,000 merit points when we accepted the mission, but 20,000 merit points is not the reward we should have received for this mission."

"You may have heard that I trained under an old knight since I was a child, and it was that old knight who told me the details of this mission."

"According to the old knight, this mission is of great help to our Demon Hunter group, which is why he secretly instructed me to arrange it this way."

Long Haoyu answered in a deep voice, while observing the reactions of the crowd.

Everyone looked at Long Haoyu's current state, and their expressions became very solemn.

Upon hearing Long Haoyu mention the so-called old knight, everyone's expression turned strange.

Their breathing became heavy at that moment.

"Boss, there's still something you haven't finished saying, right? Why don't you just say everything at once!"

Lin Xin spoke again: "Boss, you've always been a very steady person. This time, choosing this mission is, just as you said, very helpful to us."

"But regarding the merit points you mentioned, 20,000 merit points is already a lot for a general-level mission, especially since this is a reconnaissance mission."

"Is there some unspeakable reason behind this mission?"

After Lin Xin finished asking his question, Sima Xian, Wang Yuanyuan, and the others continued to look at Long Haoyu. Like Lin Xin, they also sensed that there was something more to Long Haoyu's words.

They didn't actively ask, but their expressions all screamed that they wanted to know what Long Haoyu hadn't finished saying.

Seeing that everyone was prepared, Long Haoyu took a deep breath and said, word by word, "What I didn't finish saying is actually just a matter of the mission's level."

"Because, strictly speaking, this mission is a King-level mission!"

Chapter 338 Lin Xin's flash of inspiration went completely astray.

boom--

Upon hearing this, Lin Xin was completely stunned.

Not only him, but also Sima Xian, Wang Yuanyuan, Chen Ying'er, and Long Haochen were all stunned on the spot.

King-level mission?

This, this, this...

"Boss, you're not kidding us, are you?"

"This mission to explore the Cave of Fear and Howl is actually a King-level exploration mission?"

"If that's really the case, then even a commander-level demon hunter team wouldn't be able to accomplish this. How could a newly promoted general-level demon hunter team like ours be tasked with such a mission?"

Lin Xin swallowed hard.

His head was spinning so loudly that he couldn't calm down at all, and he was staring at Long Haoyu as if he were a monster.

If it weren't for the extremely solemn look on Long Haoyu's face, he would have seriously doubted whether there was something wrong with his ears.
