The male supporting character was actually myself.

However, those black, cold weapons that could emit a dazzling luster...

Even powerful demons couldn't withstand it!

I am the hope of the demon race, and I must not act rashly, otherwise all my previous efforts will be in vain.

This is also why I wanted to be as strong as possible before embarking on my revenge mission; those weapons were too terrifying, and I had to be absolutely certain of my safety before I could muster the courage to face them.

Damn nine-tailed fox!

They are so afraid that the position of leader of the demon race will be changed, that they will not allow others to resist if they themselves do not resist or make any effort. It is utterly disgusting!

Instead of using his accumulated magical power to deal with demon hunters, he's causing internal strife and targeting himself.

Heh, as expected, he's afraid I'll become too powerful and overshadow his master, and that he'll be despised by all the demons. That's why he's relying on his profound magic to try and nip me in the bud.

I control my own life!

I will never let the Nine-Tailed Fox's plan succeed. I will become stronger, grow my arms back, and become the new Fox Demon Lord!

Ye Xuan leaned against the damp, cold earthen wall, looked up at the sky through the broken wooden planks, and felt that this was the darkest and lowest point in his life, and he had to try his best to get through it.

After leading the demon race back to glory, looking back, the hardships endured will become the brightest color on the medal of success!

Meanwhile, sitting in the SUV, Yan Mingyue looked at the navigation and made up her mind.

This operation was commanded by the third elder of the alliance, Mo Xiude, who was in his forties. He was a suspicious and cautious man who always sought to be safe rather than make great achievements on missions, and he tried his best to bring back as many people as he could bring out.

Therefore, Elder Mo once set a record of leading the team on many missions without a single casualty.

Since that's the case, perhaps I can take advantage of the time when we split up to do something, making Elder Mo mistakenly believe that Spider Web Mountain is fraught with danger and to retreat cautiously, thus temporarily escaping this encirclement.

When the main force retreats, find an excuse to return and find those little demons hiding here, and tell them to quickly move to a safer place and give up their seclusion in Spiderweb Mountain.

"Hopefully it will have some effect." Yan Mingyue clenched her hands tightly and stared ahead, her breathing becoming rapid.

Encouraged by Jiang Chen, she tried to fight back for the first time, and she was very nervous.

It's a pity that these things can't be discussed with ordinary people, otherwise, talking to him might have led to more and better solutions, right?

The little white cat was also very nervous.

"What's going on, host? You used to be so reliable when doing missions. Did you get cocky after winning the assessment?" It couldn't care less about playing the game and paced anxiously in the back seat.

This is the first time I've ever received a yellow card warning from the main system since I started working, it's terrifying!

"No, I have to post a question on the forum. What will happen if the host doesn't behave after receiving a yellow card warning?"

Time passed by, the sun gradually set, birds returned to their nests, and night fell.

"This is a last-minute operation." As they were about to reach their destination, Mo Xiude said to Yan Mingyue, who was traveling with him, "We received a job from above, the kind that we can't refuse."

He pointed upwards with his right index finger, his face full of worry, and said, "They're terminally ill, yet they're still thinking of relying on medicine to stay alive. They've directly demanded that our Demon-Catching Alliance produce two Dragon Pattern Longevity Pills, and they need to be of the highest quality and grade."

Things are different now than they were a few years ago; the forests have been cut down so much that there are fewer and fewer fairies.

To create a top-quality, highest-grade Dragon Pattern Longevity Pill, one needs to consume hundreds of demon cores.

The alliance doesn't have that much stock in its warehouse!

So, we originally planned to take a break for a while so the fairies could recover and reproduce before slowly harvesting them, but we didn't expect to take on such a big order, so we had to launch an early attack.

Spiderweb Mountain is a treacherous terrain, and the spider demons have strong defenses. This operation will only be safe if the Holy Maiden intervenes.

"No problem," Yan Mingyue replied casually, her palms sweating as she thought about her plan.

The Holy Maiden was naturally aloof and mature beyond her years, so Mo Xiude didn't take her seriously. He was thinking about how to complete the mission smoothly without losing any of the elite demon hunters.

A fleet of high-end black SUVs sped along the highway, turned onto the off-road, and then into the deep mountains, kicking up clouds of dust as they raced through hilly terrain where the road was barely visible.

As night falls and the moon rises, the cool breeze of early spring blows, and occasionally one or two long bird calls can be heard echoing in the wilderness.

The elite team of demon hunters, already fully equipped and armed with special weapons, were all in high spirits, looking forward to the upcoming battle bringing them more glory and rewards.

"Times have really changed. Even demon hunters have kept up with the times." Jiang Chen's figure appeared on the mountaintop, looking at the demon hunters who had arrived at their destination and were being assigned tasks, dressed like counter-terrorism elites, and sighed.

In the original owner's memory, the demon hunters of seven or eight years ago were dressed as江湖人 (jianghu people) with a curved knife, short shirt, and long pants.

For long-lived fairies, a few years is but a blink of an eye, while human development is clearly too rapid. Even without the male protagonist Ye Xuan causing all sorts of trouble, the original owner of this body, suppressed by the world's laws, would likely have found it difficult to adapt to the times and secure a chance for the demon race to survive.

"This is Spiderweb Mountain." The bat demon's voice was old and his steps were shaky, but he had better stamina than the other young demons. He walked all the way without panting or moving too fast, and he could even explain the scenery along the way to the other little demons.

At this moment, the full moon was rising, and the steep and precipitous peaks appeared even more dangerous and desolate under the bright moonlight.

"It used to be so lively here!" the bat demon said nostalgically as it walked along the mountain. "Back then, no humans had set foot on Spider Web Mountain. It was truly a paradise for fairies. The fairies named it Spider Web Mountain. If you could fly and look down, you would see that this mountain looks like a spider web."

Later, humans came over and tried to develop the scenic area, but for some reason, it didn't work out.

They dug the mountains into ruins, and the timid demons all ran away.

Now only some spider demons remain, able to climb the steep cliffs…”

Before he could finish speaking, the bat demon suddenly stopped, staring nervously at the dark jungle in the distance, and trembled as he stammered, "Catch...catch the demon!"

Chapter Sixteen: Everything That Was Expected Has Arrived

"It's like finding a needle in a haystack!" Mo Xiude was overjoyed as he looked at the bright spots flashing on the screen of his handheld detection instrument. "First squad, flank from the left; second squad, follow me!"

They look like a group of harmless little demons migrating; we've struck gold this time.

"Let's finish this quickly and aim to collect twenty demon cores within half an hour to complete the mission!"

"Yes!" the group replied confidently.

We were incredibly lucky to get on this mission!

Who would have thought that we would encounter such a coincidence a group of dozens of harmless little demons that were migrating and had no power to resist?

The original plan was meticulous and required close cooperation between two elite teams to complete the mission of encircling and annihilating the spider demons, but now it is not necessary to go through so much trouble.

Anyway, the headquarters' order was for the team to obtain twenty demon cores within a specified time. As long as they could harvest all these little demons, not only would the mission be completed easily, but they would also have more to hand over and receive a reward.

It was so effortless, what else could it be but a stroke of incredible luck?

"My God, so many harmless little demons..." Yan Mingyue looked at the flashing white dots on the screen, her hands trembling slightly.

Plans can't keep up with changes!

How can we save them?

This time, the clan's elite troops were dispatched. They were well-equipped, experienced, and each had strong spiritual power. It would be easy for them to surround and wipe out the lesser demons. They would have no chance to do anything underhanded.

How can we help these little demons escape?

"Host, what should we do now? This group of defenseless little demons is about to be surrounded and wiped out; the male lead is about to make a move on the female lead. Is there anything I can do to help?" The little white cat bounced up to its host as the convoy stopped and asked nervously, rubbing its furry face.

Jiang Chen watched as the well-equipped demon hunters split into two groups to encircle the lesser demons, and said calmly, "No problem, everything is under my control."

"Then I'm relieved." The little white cat breathed a sigh of relief and slumped onto his shoulder. Just as it was about to take out some dried fish to nibble on, it suddenly realized something and said with a wary look, "Host, please don't be reckless anymore. I've already asked the experts on the forum. If you know you've already received a yellow card warning and then knowingly violate the rules again, you'll get a red card and be sent off!"

All our efforts in this mission world have been wasted; no matter the outcome, we won't receive any reward medals.

Moreover... the next scenario is very likely to be an extremely difficult scenario designated by the main system.

If you don't learn your lesson and break the rules again, the auxiliary system will be destroyed, and the host will be completely finished!

"You don't trust me at all?" Jiang Chen looked at the wary, bristling ball of fluff with surprise. "Little Bai, are you getting cocky?"

White kitten: ? ? ?

Am I getting carried away?

How long has it been since you last started your self-check?

Little white cat: (￣□￣；)

Oh no! The host never mentioned this, I almost forgot I had this function!

Forgetting to ask the host what preparations had been made, it muttered to itself that it seemed to have performed a self-test during the first mission world, but later it was so busy eating, drinking, having fun, and waiting to win that it forgot to scan for viruses...

Just as a group of lesser demons were trembling in fear and the elite demon hunters were overjoyed, Ye Xuan, who was passing by in a hurry, suddenly stopped.

"Demon hunters?! How did they suddenly appear here?" He frowned slightly, sensing that this was not a simple matter, and quickly changed his original route, flying towards Spider Web Mountain.

He quickly sensed a group of dozens of harmless little demons trembling with fear, forgetting even to run away!

"Damn it, those are the elite troops of the demon hunters." Ye Xuan's anger intensified upon seeing this.

These elite troops prefer to operate at night. They are equipped with special gear that can block demonic energy, and any demonic energy will be completely lost if they get close to them.

The mask can protect against poisonous fog and gas, rendering many demons who can kill silently helpless.

The goggles have something called "red imaging" or something similar, which can directly see through the illusions that the fox demon clan is best at.

The cold weapons they hold in their hands and carry on their shoulders can unleash intense light like lightning. No matter how powerful a fairy is, if struck, she will instantly lose her ability to move and will be locked in place by a specially made collar or bracelet. The fairy's spiritual energy will be unable to circulate, making her no different from an ordinary small animal.

Ye Xuan, hiding in the distance, grew increasingly timid as he watched.

He had heard from the great demons of his clan that humans used lesser demons to conduct all sorts of experiments to extract all sorts of secrets, and that they had dissected countless demons to invent and manufacture so many types of terrifying instruments specifically for capturing demons.

Once they catch you...

Breathing heavily, Ye Xuan dared not step forward easily, only cursing inwardly, "You stupid little demons, run! What's the use of hiding there trembling!"

"I...I'm so scared, can we run away?" The little demons, who had been secretly cursed as idiots by Ye Xuan countless times, trembled and asked the oldest bat demon in a low voice.

The bat demon who was the first to sense the demon hunters was also afraid, but thinking of the fox demon's promise, he mustered his courage and said tremblingly, "As you command, we are here to act as bait to lure the demon hunters together and capture them all in one fell swoop!"

If we run away, won't the demon hunters' team break up?

You can't run away, and you can't reveal your true form; you have to stay in human form to be a big enough target.

The demon hunters' tools are very powerful; they can tell whether something is lethal. Once they discover that we are all harmless little demons, they will definitely surround and capture us. Don't forget those companions who were killed before. Didn't they all reveal their true forms and try to escape by pretending to be ordinary animals, but they were killed on the spot?

"Stay calm! I trust the fox spirit will protect us!"

"I trust adults, but I'm still scared!"

"I'm scared too, boohoo~"

"Mom! I want to go home and find Mom!"

……

A group of little demons huddled together, trembling. Some were crying, some were screaming, and some almost peed their pants. Fortunately, none of them separated or tried to escape.

They were full of enthusiasm when they signed up, but ultimately couldn't withstand reality.
