Steady

After entering the city, An and his companions did not act rashly. Instead, they began looking for a place to stay while secretly searching for Xia Li and investigating the events of the past few years in the city.

The "Cutting Beast" Xia Li had long been beheaded by Su Hao, so they were never going to find her.

After three days of fruitless searching, An gave up on finding Xia Li and focused entirely on investigating what had happened in Temple Forest City over the past few years.

His method was simple: pretending to be a resident moving from out of town to buy a house, he hired a realtor to show them around and casually asked why housing prices had increased so much.

The realtor's mouth didn't stop after that.

An got all the information he wanted.

Of course, he didn't just believe one person's words. He had three of his subordinates conduct the investigation simultaneously, then consolidated the results to get the most accurate and reliable information.

In the evening, An sat quietly at his desk, organizing the information about Temple Forest City in his mind, and soon came to the following conclusions:

First, Temple Forest City had changed hands and was now controlled by a gang called the "Temple Forest Society." The slogans on the streets came from the hand of "Temple Forest Society."

Second, the "Bone Demon" Deri and the "String Demon" Shick had died two years ago. Therefore, the flesh of the "Bone Demon" was undoubtedly in the hands of the "Temple Forest Society." To obtain the "Bone Demon" flesh, they would have to confront this group.

Third, based on the intensity of the battle two years ago, the highest-level extraordinary beings in the "Temple Forest Society" were only at the fourth level, named "Boss Wei" and "Boss Yashan." No fifth-level extraordinary being would appear because a fifth-level extraordinary being would easily kill a fourth-level one.

Fourth, the "Temple Forest Society" advocated for the protection of ordinary people's normal lives, with extraordinary beings' battles having to be within the rules.

Fifth, judging by Xia Li's personality, she was most likely already dead, killed by the "Temple Forest Society."

...

An listed these points one by one.

Then he pondered his objectives.

First objective: find Xia Li.

This could be deleted.

Second objective: obtain the "Bone Demon" flesh.

An closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, thinking about how to successfully achieve his goal of obtaining the "Bone Demon" flesh.

He was a fourth-level extraordinary being, the "Speed Demon," with abilities of "Invisibility," "Super Speed," "Dynamic Vision," "Tear," and "Step in the Air."

If the "Bone Demon" were still Deri, it would be easy for him to get a piece of the "Bone Demon" flesh. He would only need to face the opponent once to cut off their arm and take it away.

But now the "Bone Demon" was no longer Deri. It was someone called "Boss Wei" or "Boss Yashan."

He wasn't sure which one was the "Bone Demon."

Once he made a move, if he didn't get the "Bone Demon" flesh, he would lose his advantage of being in the dark.

This was a situation he absolutely could not allow.

Moreover, one of them was the "Bone Demon," but the sequence of the other fourth-level extraordinary being was still uncertain.

Perhaps...

The "Night Demon"!!!

A thought flashed through An's mind about a person who had tricked him four years ago, possibly the "Night Demon."

That's right!

Everything made sense now.

The "Night Demon" had infiltrated Temple Forest City, helped an "Extended Armor" person evolve, and at that time, the target was just "Rampager" Vurd. Then, the "Night Demon" found an opportunity, killed the "Bone Demon" Deri and the "String Demon" Shick, and became the new master of the city!

According to Vurd's description back then, the shorter one was the "Night Demon," and the taller one should be the new "Bone Demon."

So, he only needed to ask about the appearances of "Boss Wei" and "Boss Yashan" to confirm who was the "Bone Demon" and who he needed to attack!

Having figured everything out, An slowly stood up. The others in the room immediately looked at him.

An smiled, "Don't worry! The 'Bone Demon's' flesh will be ours soon! Wait for me to take the 'Bone Demon's' head and avenge Xia Li."

"Reverse Beast" Deri's heart settled. He knew the 'Bone Demon' flesh was as good as theirs.

When An smiled like that, it meant he had a plan and was certain to obtain the 'Bone Demon' flesh.

"Reverse Beast" Deri had never seen An fail!!!

...

Early the next morning, Yashan found Su Hao.

Yashan said, "Boss Wei, Meng Chuan monitored for four days and finally heard something useful. They're after the 'Bone Demon' flesh."

Su Hao's lips curled up slightly, and he said calmly, "Then it's simple! First, drive them out, then deal with them all! As for that 'Speed Demon' An, leave him to me!"

Su Hao didn't want to play any tricks with the opponent. Since their intentions were impure, he wouldn't hold back to avoid future trouble.

When dealing with people who liked to play tricks, Su Hao preferred using his fists.

If his fists weren't big enough, he wouldn't deal with them.

Otherwise, he would surely suffer losses.

Yashan scratched his head and asked, "Boss Wei! There are too many people in the city, how should I drive them out?"

Su Hao casually said, "Just suddenly make a move, capture one or two third-level extraordinary beings, and run out of the city. The farther, the better. Remember to keep your defense runes at full power the whole time."

Yashan's eyes were full of admiration. Why hadn't he thought of that?

Indeed, the boss is the boss!

"Okay, Boss Wei!"

Su Hao added, "No need to wait until night, you can act now."

"Okay, Boss Wei!" Yashan immediately set off.

Su Hao took a long breath and muttered, "An... you are quite talented, but unfortunately, your luck is bad! You can't just think of Temple Forest City when you want to eat meat!"

He hadn't seen An contribute anything to Temple Forest City, and now that he wanted to evolve, he needed the city.

Su Hao could clearly state that Temple Forest City was not a place for him to reap benefits.

While An and his three subordinates were separately gathering information, Yashan, pretending to be an accidental passerby, crossed paths with "Burrow Beast" Yi.

Yashan prioritized Yi because if the "Burrow Beast" went underground, it would be difficult to catch her, so she was the first target.

And "Burrow Beast" Yi was completely unaware of the impending danger.

At the moment they crossed paths, Yashan suddenly produced a large stone and smashed it into the back of Yi's head.

Caught off guard, Yi's eyes rolled back, and she slumped to the ground. Yashan quickly caught her, pretending to be an intimate lover.

Most citizens only recognized Su Hao as "Boss Wei" and didn't know who "Boss Yashan" was, so no one paid attention.

If you ask why Yashan was so good at hitting with a stone, it's because Su Hao taught him well, with a consistent technique.

Yashan quickly carried "Burrow Beast" Yi in another direction, heading for the next target, "Reverse Beast" Vurd.

Why not choose "Corrosive Beast" Ariane?

The "Corrosive Beast" was covered in poison, and Yashan dared not touch her. Capturing two people would be enough.

Yashan had been training his blood energy with Su Hao for a long time. Even without transforming into the "Bone Demon," in his normal state, he could exert great strength.

Although other extraordinary beings could also display great strength in their normal state, they couldn't compare to Yashan.

Soon, Yashan reached the back of "Reverse Beast" Vurd, who was unexpectedly alert, slightly tilting his head.

"Bang!"

The hit missed. Vurd was just momentarily dazed but didn't pass out. He immediately began transforming into the "Reverse Beast."

Yashan regretfully threw away the stone.

Since he didn't pass out, he would have to take him down with brute force!
