A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

He needs to start looking for a way out.

"There's one more thing. I'll be heading to the Mist Demon Tribe tomorrow to assume the position of captain."

"Groups 1, 2, and 3 will be coming with me. Does anyone else want to come with me?" Yan Ling asked, scanning the crowd.

These words caused another uproar among the crowd.

Soon, the commotion subsided, and no one spoke.

No one went with them; only groups 1, 2, and 3 went.

"Alright, you guys stay here and keep a close watch on our 1st District Brigade's area."

"Zhou An, try your best to break through to level five, and then come to the Mist Demon Tribe to help me." Yan Ling didn't care too much.

Anyway, all his trusted confidants had already gone with him.

"Don't worry, Captain Yan, you go ahead and scout ahead, I'll be right behind you," Zhou An said with a faint smile.

The meeting quickly ended, and everyone left, leaving only Zhou An and Yan Ling behind.

“Zhou An, Group 123 will be transferred with me. You can recruit people yourself. Before my father left, he also gave you the authority to recruit. You can recruit up to 150 people,” Yan Ling said.

"Huh? I can recruit people on my own? That's great." Zhou An's eyes lit up immediately.

A plan came to mind.

"Yes, as long as the background is fine and the ability meets the requirements, that's fine."

"If you have the ability, you can recruit someone at level four or five." Yan Ling nodded.

A smile appeared on Zhou An's face.

"Alright, you can go ahead and get busy. I need to tidy up as soon as possible." Yan Ling glanced at the things in the office; there were many.

It might be a bit troublesome to clean it up.

"It will be ready tonight, and you can move in tomorrow," Yan Ling said.

Zhou An smiled, said nothing, and then left the office.

Zhou An went straight home after get off work.

They took out a prop and covered the entire room to block prying eyes.

"Old evil, wake up, time to work." Zhou An woke up the evil thought entity.

"What is it? Don't you know I hate it when people wake me up from my sleep?" The evil entity looked at Zhou An with impatience.

"You're getting angry now? You're cultivating, not sleeping." Zhou An rolled his eyes.

"That's right. Tell me, what is it?" The evil entity suddenly realized.

"I have taken over as the captain of the 1st District Brigade, and the 123rd Group has become vacant."

"Go find Zhao Kong and use the monkey talisman to turn them into people with clean identities. Then I will recruit them into the Tianheng Division."

“All three groups can have spots, a total of 150 people,” Zhou An said in a deep voice.

"Oh? That's interesting. Okay, I'll go right away. Give me the communication talisman." The evil entity also became interested.

Zhou An immediately handed the communication talisman to the evil entity.

After taking the item, the malevolent entity went into stealth mode and transformed into a hawk, disappearing without a trace.

……

An hour later, Zhou An met Zhao Kong and the other three in a secluded safe house.

The four of them stayed inside, not daring to go out at all.

Because they all can't stand the light of day.

"Why are you here? Is there something important?" Zhao Kong was surprised by Zhou An's arrival.

"I want you to join the Tianheng Division," the evil entity slowly said.

The malevolent entity immediately recounted the incident briefly.

Zhao Kong shook his head slightly: "We've already been completely exposed, so how can we join?"

"Have you forgotten my abilities? You all should have safe and innocent identities, right?"

"My ability can transform you into other people without being detected, not even by a level nine being."

"Duration? Permanent. As long as I don't relinquish the ability, it will continue indefinitely," the malevolent entity said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.

"Are you really that capable?" Zhao Kong recalled the feeling of turning into a fly and a hawk, which seemed to be similar to what Zhou An had described.

"Three group leaders and 147 group members. Remember, they must be unrelated to you and be your trusted confidants."

"If you don't have enough people, that's fine too. Use as many as you can."

"I've made the arrangements. We'll officially start recruiting tomorrow. Give me the list before tonight," the evil entity said.

"Excuse me, but how did Captain Yan, the head of the First District, end up recruiting us?" Zhao Kong asked curiously.

"The Word Spirit has been transferred. The new captain is Zhou An, the S-class potential user who captured you," the evil entity said calmly.

These words left the four people utterly shocked.

"Zhou... Zhou An!?!"

"What is your relationship with him?" Zhao Kong asked again.

"It's nothing, it's just that my abilities can influence him and get you all to join in."

The malevolent entity would naturally not acknowledge Zhou An as one of its own.

Zhao Kong nodded: "Understood. I will give you the list before midnight tonight."

"Okay, as soon as possible. I'll wait here." After saying that, the evil entity sat down on the sofa and fell asleep.

Zhao Kong and his three companions looked at each other in bewilderment.

……

At 10 p.m., Zhao Kong woke up the evil spirit.

The personnel list and identification information are all ready.

The malevolent entity took the documents, glanced at them all, and then memorized them. Flames then appeared out of thin air in its palm and burned them all away.

The number of people is not large, only about thirty.

"Faceless, these people are among the last few of us with clean identities, we can trust them."

“As for the four of us, we are the same four people at the very top,” Zhao Kong said in a deep voice.

"Hmm." The malevolent entity nodded slightly, stepped forward, and touched each of the four people.

Upon touching them, he instantly transformed them all into the corresponding people.

There were one man and three women.

They are Liu Changyi, Su Fei, Wang Yu, and Zhou Fenfen.

Liu Changyi is at level four, while the other three are at level three.

They each concealed a level of strength.

The main reason is that Zhou An's abilities are a bit abnormal; if you maintain a level three or four strength, you won't be detected.

However, he is also able to unleash his true strength.

"Alright, everything's taken care of. Just remember to register tomorrow." With that, Faceless left.

……

The next morning.

Zhou An then arrived at the 1st District Brigade.

Today is his first day on duty, and he also needs to recruit three groups of people.

He had already spread the news yesterday.

It's fair to say that the area where the 1st District Brigade was stationed was already packed with people early in the morning.

Although there were many people, it was not crowded or noisy at all.

Because Li San was leading people to maintain order and fill out information, etc.

Therefore, everyone's background needs to be investigated, so the workload is considerable.

It should be done before 10 o'clock.

The assessment can be conducted later, and Zhou An has the absolute right to interpret the assessment content.

It was 9:30 in no time.

The newly appointed leader of Group Five, Li San, arrived at the office.

"Captain, all the information has been collected and retrieved."

“These people are all in perfect condition, meet the requirements, and are all at level 2 or above.”

Li San placed a tablet computer in front of Zhou An.

Zhou An took a look and saw that there were quite a few people, more than two hundred.

In terms of strength, they are both between level 2 and level 3.

There's only one Level 4, and that's Zhao Kong, oh no, I should call him by the pseudonym Liu Changyi.

The information of the others is also on it.

"I won't step in. Let them have a competition, a big melee in the martial arts arena. Those who are knocked out of the arena will be eliminated. Just keep 150," Zhou An said.

"Okay, Captain." Li San responded noncommittally and immediately turned to leave.

With Zhao Kong's strength, he could easily lead his people to secure a spot.

About an hour later, the list of 150 people was released.

Zhao Kong and his group of thirty-four were all present.
