The male supporting character was actually myself.

This trip will definitely be dangerous, so I will send Fox Shadow and a guard team to accompany us to ensure everyone's safety as much as possible.

Once you have successfully reached the designated location, I will capture all the demon hunters involved in this operation!

The little demons below the stage were silent for a few seconds after hearing this.

"Does Your Excellency mean..." an elderly bat demon asked tremulously, "that we need bait?"

Jiang Chen nodded without hesitation, saying, "That's right, I need to lure all the demon hunters to the designated location as bait. But I will do my best to protect everyone's safety."

The little rabbit demon hopped up and raised its hand, asking, "Then, why use harmless little demons? Wouldn't it be easier and safer to send powerful, battle-hardened demons?"

Chapter Twelve: Stop being reckless, okay?

“If we send a powerful demon as bait, the demon hunters will immediately use tactics and their strongest forces once they realize it. They will treat this operation as a battle rather than an encirclement and annihilation,” Jiang Chen explained patiently.

"Does the master mean to catch the demon hunters off guard, so they can easily fall into the trap like winning the lottery?"

"What if we get killed as bait? What will happen to our families?"

"With the fox demon by my side, I don't seem afraid of being used as bait anymore!"

"That won't do, will it? The demon hunters' detection equipment will detect it..."

…………

The little demons immediately started discussing among themselves, some expressing concern and others raising questions, which Jiang Chen patiently answered one by one.

"Since the master needs me, this old man isn't afraid of the trouble. Being able to do something for the demon race and defeat the demon hunters is enough for this old man to brag about for the rest of his life. I'm signing up!" The bat demon raised his hand tremblingly.

"I'll participate too!"

"Me too! I can do it too!"

"I'll join!"

…………

Fairies are mostly simple-minded. They are used to the law of survival of the fittest and to the life of fleeing in panic from the pursuit of demon hunters.

It is a safe haven for everyone, provided by the fox spirit.

It was the fox demon who made so many efforts for the demon race.

He could have easily forced the harmless little demons to participate in the plan to fight back against the demon hunters, but instead, he patiently sought everyone's opinions and answered all their questions with a kind smile.

Deeply moved, the little fairies enthusiastically signed up to participate.

This time, with Fox Shadow and the guard team secretly protecting me, the danger level isn't that high, and I can even help the Fox Demon Lord. In the future, I'll have the confidence to stand tall among the demons—after all, being able to assist the Fox Demon Lord in wiping out all the demon hunters is something even the great demons can't do!

“Thirty is enough.” Jiang Chen looked at the little demons who were about to fill the quota and instructed, “Your task is to transfer from Lingqiu Mountain to Baiyu Mountain.”

I've checked the route between the two areas and there's only one that passes through Spiderweb Mountain. I'll be waiting at a suitable location to meet you, so please don't worry about evacuating.

The little demons who accepted the arrangement quickly said goodbye to their families and began a "great transfer".

The main system noticeably froze for a few seconds before determining that the task was complete.

"Host, are you testing the limits of the main system?" the little white cat asked fearfully.

Watching the thirty harmless little demons depart under the protection of Fox Shadow and the guards, Jiang Chen asked, "What will happen if we fail to complete the mission?"

"There is no reward for failing the task!" The fluffy dumpling scratched its ear and carefully thought about the contents of the training manual before explaining, "If you are judged to have failed the task multiple times, the main system will not issue the final chapter task."

Or even if the final chapter mission is released, there will be no medal reward.

This mission world has been a complete failure.

"No other punishment?"

"Yes, there is, but I don't know what the main system's punishment mechanism is. The punishment is nothing more than deducting medals, and the most serious one is being destroyed."

The little white cat nervously licked its paws and pleaded softly, "Host, can't we just complete the mission properly? Don't challenge the authority of the main system. If we accumulate enough to trigger the punishment mechanism one day, we're doomed!"

I was on vacation at System Home before, so I didn't pay much attention to the news on the forum.

I've been catching up on the posts from that period over the past few days and discovered that several hosts have entered the Demon Script and never come out again. One of them, an auxiliary system shaped like a little whale, even went so far as to post a picture for help, but its avatar still turned black and white.

Presumably, our experience of escaping from the devilish script failed, and the host, along with the auxiliary system, was completely wiped out.

Host, I'm so afraid of dying!

Promise me you won't be reckless, okay?

"I'll try to use oars to row," Jiang Chen replied casually.

White kitten: ? ? ?

Thirty little fairies, though not a large number, were carrying some bundles and luggage to create the illusion of migration. They moved cautiously through the dense forest, appearing as small clusters as ants.

The fox shadow continued to walk in the void.

To him, everything around him was more like lines of various colors; some he could walk through, some he could climb, and some he would die upon touching.

The guards didn't have his special stealth ability, so in order not to interfere with the decoy's operation, they could only follow far behind, so that they could quickly provide reinforcements if danger occurred ahead.

"We're about to leave the territory of Lingqiu Mountain, so we need to be extra careful." The old bat demon, most engrossed in his role, revealed his sharp fangs as he spoke, directing with a small bundle slung over his shoulder, "Take this secluded path to avoid encountering humans!"

"Those awful humans are so annoying, I hate them the most."

"Humans are clearly very weak, so how come they can create such terrifying machines?"

"The Wuyang Mountain where I used to live was so beautiful, but then humans started developing it. They drove those huge, terrifying machines that were whirring and knocked down those centuries-old trees!"

"What are big trees? They can flatten mountains and fill ravines!"

"There are also factories that specialize in slaughtering animals! Skinning, removing tendons, and deboning!"

"They didn't even spare the blood, they ate it all!"

"Waaaaah~ Please stop talking, it's so scary..."

…………

A group of lesser demons whispered amongst themselves as they made their way along a secluded path; meanwhile, Yan Mingyue sat in the passenger seat of an SUV, watching the long convoy through the rearview mirror, pondering how to go easy on them during the operation.

To provide cover for the lesser demons to escape?

No, the spider demons have strong defense but weak attack, and they are not fast at escaping. This time, the Demon Catcher Alliance has dispatched two elite teams totaling forty-six people. Even powerful demons who are good at fighting would have difficulty escaping, let alone the spider demons with low cultivation levels who survived.

Were they arrested and then secretly released?

It doesn't seem to work either...

In the end how to do?

As the navigation system drew ever closer to Spider Web Mountain, Yan Mingyue grew increasingly anxious.

Jiang Chenfei watched from mid-air as the group of little demons slowly walked out of the Lingqiu Mountains, onto the plains, and then into the valley.

The fluffy dumpling obeyed its host's orders, hopping around as fast as it could to find the demon hunters' convoy, squatted on Yan Mingyue's shoulder, sent him its location, and shared its position.

"At this rate, we should be able to meet at Spiderweb Mountain tonight." He checked the time and saw that it was still early. He snapped his fingers and disappeared into the air. When he reappeared, he was already on the steep cliffs of Spiderweb Mountain.

The protagonist, Ye Xuan, will arrive here tonight. So where will he be right now?

The script doesn't explain in detail what Ye Xuan will do after he gains great power, given his character.

He definitely didn't seek revenge against the demon hunters, otherwise, given his abilities and the aura he possessed, the damage he could have caused would have been too great, and Yan Mingyue couldn't possibly have been unaware of it; this is a highlight of the plot where he avenges his race, and the script wouldn't have glossed over it or omitted it entirely.

As a protagonist with a halo, there are definitely details that he doesn't want the "audience" to know.

“Ye Xuan wouldn’t hide; nor would he seek revenge on the demon hunters.” Jiang Chen stood atop the cliff, carefully examining the script. “Given his vindictive nature and sadistic tendencies, could it be…”

He raised an eyebrow slightly, and his figure disappeared on the cliff.

Chapter Thirteen: Ingratitude

In the original, yet-to-be-updated storyline, Jiang Chen clearly remembered that the male protagonist, Ye Xuan, had joined forces with a group of powerful demons during his revenge. These demons were not ordinary demons cultivated from plants and animals, but rather entities formed by the combination of living beings and matter, whose appearance could change according to their own preferences.

They live in a small valley in the northern part of Lingqiu Mountain, living a peaceful life and rarely interacting with ordinary fairies.

In the original story, Ye Xuan was able to become friends with them because when he was a young white fox, before he had cultivated into human form, he was rescued by one of the fairies who was good at teleportation and took him to their tribe to recuperate and stay for a period of time.

Now, Jiang Chen has read the script over and over again and found that it no longer mentions that small number of special fairies.

How could such a powerful team of helpers be deleted so easily?

Everything in the plot serves the protagonist, unless the male lead, Ye Xuan, no longer needs them... or uses them in another way!

No wonder so many words were used to describe the male protagonist's strength when he forcibly kidnapped Yan Mingyue. Jiang Chen originally thought it was just to highlight the protagonist's personality and strength after his transformation.

Upon closer analysis, there's probably more to the story!

"A small valley north of Lingqiu Mountain..." Jiang Chen's figure appeared at the northernmost boundary of Lingqiu Mountain, looking up a 3D real-scene map on his phone.

The entire Lingqiu Mountain is located deep in the continuous mountain range, covered with towering trees and dense forests.

The area north of the mountains is a hilly region with few human settlements; only occasionally can you see small villages with a few households.

However, with social progress, many villages deep in the mountains have been abandoned.

There are no roads here, and the terrain is dangerous. Only some dilapidated old houses remain, and people have moved to nearby towns to live.

If one keeps a low profile, it is indeed a good place for fairies to live.

Using the real-world map, Jiang Chen quickly eliminated some small valleys that couldn't be hidden, ultimately focusing on four valleys where fairies might be hiding.

Then his figure disappeared and quickly reappeared on a mountaintop dozens of miles away.

“There’s nothing here.” Relying on the powerful perception of the demon race, Jiang Chen took a deep breath and grasped the situation in the small valley clearly.

No, not at all.

"Not here."

Upon arriving at the last, larger valley closest to the human village, he sensed many powerful auras without even trying, seemingly filled with anger and danger, ready to erupt at any moment!

Before an incense stick had burned, deep in the valley, in a huge cave hidden by a barrier.

White Fox Ye Xuan looked coldly at Feng Dong, who was leading the group, and said in a sharp tone, "Are you really unwilling to join forces with me to deal with the demon hunters? Are you just going to watch the demons be slaughtered by them?"

Feng Dong was a beautiful woman with black hair adorned with phoenix tail flowers and a pipe in her hand. She exhaled a puff of pink smoke and said in a high-pitched voice, "Ye Xuan, when I saved you back then, you were just a little fox cub."

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, he not only grew up and transformed into human form, but also became a powerful demon with great magical abilities.
