37: Kill the donkey!

So, after those demon beasts finished speaking, as soon as their voices fell, one-third of them exploded.

Blood mist permeated the area, and a strong smell of blood filled the air.

Chen De didn't care about the scene before him; he just stared expressionlessly at the demon beasts and said, "Now what?"

But the demon beasts only heavily kowtowed and shouted, "Lord Moral Rat King, we really can't find it!"

Boom!

Another third of the demon beasts exploded. Chen De didn't answer what the demon beasts had just said, repeating his previous question, "Now what?"

In this situation, all the demon beasts despaired. Failing Chen De's task meant death, resisting meant death, and not resisting also meant death.

Seeing this, the demon beasts could only helplessly kowtow frantically for mercy, not stopping even as their heads bled. "Lord Rat King, we really, truly cannot find it! Please, believe us!"

Their sincere appearance even moved Chen De.

Chen De was, of course, not a cold-blooded, ruthless, or profit-driven person.

So, Chen De quietly activated the marks on all the demon beasts before him.

However, this time, Chen De didn't directly detonate the marks; he just wanted to see their attitude.

Those demon beasts naturally felt that the marks within them had begun to be activated.

But their answer was still the same: they truly, truly couldn't find it.

Those demon beasts shouted, "We really can't find—"

Boom!

This time, before they could finish speaking, the marks within them were all detonated.

Some demon beasts, realizing they were definitely not going to survive, quickly took the opportunity to shout before they died, "Please, Lord Rat King, spare our clan—"

Similarly, they were blown to death before they could finish their sentence.

Chen De looked at the bloodstains and shattered corpses on the ground before him and said indifferently, "It seems it really can't be found!"

Chen De knew what those demon beasts who hadn't finished speaking earlier were trying to say.

However, he, Chen De, wasn't some bad person; why did he seem like some cruel, bloodthirsty pervert?

But Chen De didn't hold grudges. As the most moral person, Chen De wasn't that petty.

They had worked for Chen De for so long, after all. Chen De would grant their final request.

In fact, Chen De also knew that they had already reached their limit and truly couldn't find it, given how much they had done.

However, Chen De felt he could push them a little further; after all, there was nothing to lose by doing so.

It was still the same saying: let the demon beasts suffer a bit more, and he, Chen De, would bear the blame.

Fifty-five medium spirit medicines. superior spirit medicine was truly too rare; not a single one was found.

Even these fifty-plus medium spirit medicines weren't all found in the Vortex Forest West.

A portion of them also came from the Eastern Vortex Forest, the north, and the Central Vortex Forest.

However, those spirit medicines from the Vortex Forest West still accounted for the majority.

According to Chen De's estimation, the Silver Scale Rhino King over there must have already noticed the commotion here.

Almost all of these demon beasts in the Vortex Forest West were controlled by Chen De.

Therefore, the Silver Scale Rhino King found it difficult to receive intelligence directly from the Vortex Forest West.

To prevent the Silver Scale Rhino King from noticing too early, Chen De initially tried to limit the collection range to the Vortex Forest West.

It wasn't until later, when the quantity of spirit medicines collected from the Vortex Forest West had significantly decreased, that Chen De lifted the restrictions on collecting spirit medicines from other areas.

It wasn't that Chen De was afraid they would run away in the chaos; with the marks, they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.

Rather, Chen De's ability to suppress the area of the Vortex Forest West was already his limit.

If he sent those demon beasts out to collect spirit medicines in other places, the commotion would be too great, and Chen De definitely wouldn't be able to conceal it.

That's why Chen De deliberately waited until the collection in the Vortex Forest West was almost complete before sending them out.

This was to buy time, to let the Silver Scale Rhino King notice as late as possible.

Since the Silver Scale Rhino King had a high probability of having noticed by now, and these demon beasts genuinely couldn't find any more spirit medicine, then he, Chen De, should leave this place.

This place had already been blessed by Chen De. A moral person like Chen De shouldn't only bless one place.

Other places should also receive Chen De's blessings; after all, Chen De's dream was to bless all living beings!

For Chen De, he was just that kind of person who accomplished his deeds, then left, and hid his achievements and fame.

However, before leaving, Chen De decided to leave something for the Silver Scale Rhino King.

So Chen De turned to the remaining demon beast clans...

Facing some low-level ordinary demon beasts, things were quickly taken care of.

At this moment, Chen De had already arrived at the border of the Vortex Forest West.

Countless demon beasts watched Chen De's departure, their eyes filled with fear.

Chen De felt their farewell gazes, as if he could feel deep reluctance in their eyes.

Chen De knew that the demon beasts didn't want him to leave.

Chen De also knew that they must have been very happy during these days with him.

Because Chen De had created a beautiful environment not under the rule of the Silver Scale Rhino King.

To live freely was always something demon beasts yearned for.

Not only did they not want Chen De to leave, Chen De actually didn't want to leave either, but regrettably, life rarely goes as planned.

Even a moral person like Chen De was no exception.

As Chen De moved further and further away, his figure gradually disappeared.

The fear and awe in the demon beasts' eyes gradually turned into hatred, a deep-seated hatred!

For what Chen De had done to them, and the demon beasts he had killed, one day, they would repay it a thousandfold, ten thousandfold.

Soon, after Chen De's figure was completely out of sight, they couldn't help but burst into joyful cheers.

Chen De was still walking ahead when he suddenly heard the cheers from behind, and his steps paused.

Were they masking their sadness with smiles?

Presumably, they must be terribly heartbroken in secret.

They had remained silent when Chen De left.

These demon beasts were truly tsundere!

Chen De hadn't expected it.

Have you all become so reluctant to part with me to this extent?

I didn't expect that after such a short time together, my position in everyone's hearts would already be so important.

Is this the charm of a moral person?

Thinking of this, Chen De stopped pondering, because if it was as Chen De thought, then he was now carrying the hope of all the demon beasts in the Vortex Forest West to resist the Silver Scale Rhino King. How could he stop?

Chen De had just arrived at the junction of the Central Vortex Forest and the southern part.

At this moment, Chen De suddenly felt a powerful force moving towards the Vortex Forest West.

Chen De knew without looking that it must be the Silver Scale Rhino King arriving.

Frightened, Chen De quickly found a place to conceal himself.

During these days, Chen De had obtained another fifty-five medium spirit medicines, which, combined with the eighteen attribute points he had left before, amounted to seventy-three attribute points.

This allowed Chen De to advance two minor realms at once, so Chen De naturally broke through to the seventh level of the Demon Origin Realm.

Thirteen attribute points remained for backup.

It was also because Chen De's cultivation had increased again, and his concealment ability had become stronger.

Coupled with the Silver Scale Rhino King's severe injuries, his abilities in all aspects were weakened.

This meant that even though the Silver Scale Rhino King passed by not far from Chen De, he didn't discover Chen De.

After seeing the direction the Silver Scale Rhino King was heading, Chen De felt deeply that the Silver Scale Rhino King was detestable.

The demon beasts of the Vortex Forest West had only just started to live a few good days with him, Chen De, and it couldn't wait to come and cause trouble.

Presumably, the demon beasts in the Vortex Forest West must hate the Silver Scale Rhino King to death by now.

After all, if it weren't for him, Chen De wouldn't have been forced to leave that place.

However, fortunately, Chen De had already left the Vortex Forest West at this time, so the Silver Scale Rhino King definitely wouldn't be able to find him, Chen De.

Chen De felt that the Silver Scale Rhino King shouldn't be so insane as to attack those demon beasts in the Vortex Forest West.

Moreover, seeing the Silver Scale Rhino King, Chen De also knew his opportunity had come. After missing the Silver Scale Rhino King, he again sped up his pace, rushing towards his destination.
