<h4>Chapter 52: Zheng Mengqi</h4>


    Without Wang Yanfeng''s protection, it would have been impossible for so many human vassals to live in Wind Wolf Town.


    Two dayster, the man with the tiger mask returned. He confirmed the final time for the action, keeping to the original n.


    After sending off the man again, Tang San returned to his room. He knew the first significant move he would make since his arrival in this world was about toe.


    Quietly sitting cross-legged on the bed, Tang San slightly squinted his eyes, which flickered with contemtion. The n described by the tiger man surfaced in his mind,


    <i>Three hundred breaths... I should be able to do a lot during that time.</i>


    In the forest, agile figures swiftly moved through, each with a slender and robust build, leaping freely among the trees. The thick branches served only as leverage points, offering no hindrance to their progress.


    They were all covered in fur with yellow-brown spots, and they could cover tens of meters with each leap.


    Quickly, they crossed the forest and entered the main road. Nearly a hundred figures rapidly converged.


    Leading them was a figure that stood upright, over three meters tall, with a slender physique exuding strength and bright yellow light flickering in its eyes. Its wed hands slowly retracted as it stood, revealing itself as a mighty sh Leopard.


    Behind him, numerous figures gathered, clearly centered around him.


    The leading sh Leopard pointed ahead.


    "Is it this direction?"


    A figure much smaller in stature quickly approached him and nodded slightly. "Lord Shan Ling, it is this way. It’s called Wind Wolf Town."


    A sh of ferocity gleamed in Shan Ling''s eyes, with a hint of red flickering in his yellow pupils. "Wind Wolf! Damn it! Follow me."


    With those words, he suddenly waved his hand and leaped ahead. The other sh Leopards, each with a fierce look in their eyes, quickly followed by his side.


    The sh Leopard who had spoken to Shan Ling earlier slightly retracted its fur, revealing a human-like face. But soon, it transformed into its sh Leopard form, blending into the group of sh Leopards.


    Although the sh Leopard n wasn''t particrly powerful among the demons, the sight of hundreds of sh Leopards moving together on the main road still held a formidable and ferocious momentum. Even the demons of stronger ns would give way to them when encountered alone. Something was unusual about the aura of these sh Leopards.


    sh Leopards were incredibly fast, excelling in short sprints and anything that required explosive power. Their running pace was much faster than average demons, even when they were not at full speed. The lineage of sh Leopard Demons had always been known as the kings of speed.


    When they stopped again, it was sunset. Shan Ling slowed down and halted under arge tree.


    He raised his right front paw, and the sh Leopards behind him paused, gathering around him.


    "Rest here and wait for the night. This time, we must seed. Failure is not an option!" Shan Ling''s voice was filled with a chilling tone.


    The numerous sh Leopards dispersed, each finding a ce to rest. The continuous sprint had drained much of their bloodline power; resting now would allow them to recover to their best condition.


    "Zheng Mengqi,e here!" Shan Ling called out sharply.


    A sh Leopard quickly approached. Its fur quietly disappeared and its body became thinner, and it soon transformed into a human. It was, in fact, a human vassal.


    He respectfully bowed before the sh Leopard, "Shan Ling, my lord.”


    "Show me the map," Shan Ling waved his hand.


    Zheng Mengqi quickly took out a leather map and spread it before Shan Ling. Pointing at the images on it, he then nced at the slowly setting sun.


    "Sir, look, we should be here right now. We are less than ten kilometers away from Wind Wolf Town. It will take about ten minutes to get there from here. Once the team has rested, we can go anytime."


    Shan Ling looked at the map and said, "Are you sure it''s here? You know the consequences if you lead us the wrong way!"


    Zheng Mengqi replied with an earnest and fearful expression, "I''m sure, my lord. I saw theming this way and entering the town. Do you think we should negotiate first? To see if they are the ones who abducted our nsmen?"


    A fierce light flickered in Shan Ling''s eyes, "Negotiate? What''s there to negotiate? Do you think those cunning Wind Wolves will tell me the truth? Once we go there, we''ll search. I don''t believe a small town can do anything about it. Once I find evidence, I''ll destroy their town."


    A domineering aura emanated from Shan Ling, and a faint golden sheen shed in his yellow eyes.


    Zheng Mengqi quickly lowered his head, respectfully saying, "Yes, my lord. I will follow your instructions."


    Satisfied, Shan Ling nodded and said, "You go and rest, too. If we seed this time, you will be credited for it."


    "Yes, my lord," replied Zheng Mengqi. He found a corner nearby, sat down against arge tree, and adjusted himself. His right hand silently pressed against the tree and his fingers moved subtly, leaving several marks on the tree.


    The sky gradually darkened, and night fell.


    Shan Ling let out a deep roar. The resting sh Leopards quickly rose and gathered around him.


    "Zheng Mengqi, you lead the way," Shan Lingmanded coldly.


    “Yes, my lord!" Zheng Mengqi swiftlypleted his sh Leopard Transformation. Although he was still somewhat different from an actual sh Leopard, it wasn''t easy to tell the difference in the dim light of the night unless one looked closely.


    Holding the map, he confirmed the direction and quickly moved ahead.


    The sh Leopard n was not particrly inclined to use their brains. Although all demons had intelligence, the levels of wisdom varied. Some demons were exceptionally clever, but most demons pursued strength over intelligence.


    For instance, reading a map was troublesome for the sh Leopards. In these aspects, the performance of human vassals was satisfactory to them. The intelligence of humans was why most ns had some human vassals to handle intellectuallyplex tasks.


    Zheng Mengqi naturally wouldn''t mistake the direction. Ten kilometers was short for sh Leopards, even at a slow jog. Soon, they saw the small town in the distance, with smoke rising from the houses. Unbeknownst to them, Zheng Mengqi had cleverly led them to avoid the vige inhabited by human ves to prevent the sh Leopards from venting their anger on them. For demons, ves and livestock were no different; capturing each other''s ves was amon practice, especially between hostile factions.


    A fierce light flickered in Shan Ling''s eyes when it looked at the nearby town. It raised its paw and patted Zheng Mengqi''s shoulder, clearly satisfied with his guidance.


    "Sir, it should be here," Zheng Mengqi said respectfully.


    Shan Ling nodded and raised his right front paw, and the sh Leopards behind him immediately spread to both sides and stopped there.


    Shan Ling slowly closed his eyes, and at that moment, the yellow spots on his body began to emit a faint yellow halo. It was almost as if the spots wereing to life, gently pulsating with the flow of the halo.


    It was a bizarre feeling. Including Zheng Mengqi, all the sh Leopards present felt something stirring within their bloodlines, making them noticeably agitated and heated.
