"Woow!"
With a sharp cry, a silver-white figure flew out from the gap and rushed in front of Zhang Chen before he could react.
Just as its claws were about to slash Zhang Chen's throat.
However, at the moment it was about to strike a fatal blow, it sensed the energy surging within Zhang Chen.
Demon spirits naturally possessed the ability to sense energy, and the higher the level of the demon spirit, the more sensitive its perception of energy.
That surge of energy was as boundless as the vast sea of stars, as if it contained infinite power.
If that claw were to strike, it wouldn't sever Zhang Chen's throat, but would instead be swallowed by the powerful energy unleashed at the brink of death in an instant.
Its pupils dilated, it quickly retracted its claws, let out another shrill cry, and swiftly flew away along the subway tunnel, disappearing.
The entire process lasted only a second.
"What… what just happened!"
Zhang Chen stood up, still somewhat shaken.
He held a magnificent long sword in his hand.
The sword was forged from a metal he had never seen before. From some angles, it was silver-white, but up close, it was actually transparent.
"Did this sword just save me?"
Zhang Chen muttered to himself.
In his opinion, the long sword could suppress such a powerful ancient demon spirit, so it was naturally extraordinary.
Therefore, the demon spirit had fled in fear the moment it saw the long sword.
"Meow?"
Mo Ran tilted his head, looking at Zhang Chen, seemingly puzzled by his conclusion.
"I need to call the Spiritual Power Association quickly and tell them that something terrifying has escaped. I've really caused a huge mess this time!"
Zhang Chen put the long sword back into his ring, then quickly took out his phone and dialed a string of numbers.
"Hello, welcome to the Spiritual Power Association. The Spiritual Power Association's new year's nationwide meditation event has begun. For details, please press 1!"
A beautiful and slow female voice quickly came from the phone, making Zhang Chen anxious.
After this opening segment finally ended, another slow explanation followed:
"For Spiritual Masters to register, please press 1. For commemorative spiritual core purchases, please press 2. For special demon spirit identification, please press 3. For demon spirit reporting, please press 4. For complaints and other inquiries, please press 5. To return to the previous menu, please press the asterisk key..."
"4!"
Zhang Chen quickly pressed 4 on his phone.
"For illegal trading of special demon spirits, please press 1. For stray demon spirit attacks, please press 2. For attacks by demon spirits in special training areas, please press 3..."
"3!"
"Please state the name of the special training area in Mandarin!"
"Ancient Battlefield!"
"Transferring to an agent, please wait!"
After a moment of music.
"Sorry, all agents are busy. To continue waiting, please press 1. To return to the previous menu, please press the asterisk key!"
"1!"
"Sorry..."
The voice on the phone kept repeating that the agents were busy.
Just then, one of Zhang Chen's teleportation talismans lit up!
"Oh no, someone needs their loot collected!"
Zhang Chen signaled Mo Ran.
The latter immediately transformed into a small black cat and jumped into his backpack.
"Let's go!"
Zhang Chen couldn't bother reporting anymore. Saving people was urgent, so he directly patted the teleportation talisman.
He vanished on the spot and reappeared in an open area.
A girl was lying on the ground, her face ashen, surrounded by the mangled bodies of other adventurers.
Blood and flesh were scattered everywhere.
The silver-white humanoid demon spirit that Zhang Chen had released earlier was licking the blood from its claws.
"Damn it… it’s you again!"
Zhang Chen quickly drew his long sword.
Swish!
Upon seeing Zhang Chen, the demon spirit did not linger for a moment and instantly flew away into the distance.
"Quick, I'll take you back!"
Zhang Chen summoned his Roc, dragged the girl, and raced back to the Looters' Guild.
Before he could even take a sip of water, another teleportation talisman lit up!
Just like that, Zhang Chen busily ran more than ten times, rescuing everyone.
Except for four people who could only be packed in bags, the others were fine and didn't need to be pieced together.
Although he hadn't seen the demon spirit that committed the crime, the horrific nature of the deaths could be inferred as the work of the demon spirit Zhang Chen had released.
That guy was on a killing spree!
At this moment, within the Looters' Guild, the looters were also incredibly busy and beaming with joy.
They felt like they had hit the jackpot this time.
Each order was worth hundreds of thousands, and some high-level orders were even in the millions – they were truly making a fortune!
Only Zhang Chen's expression was solemn. The mess he had created had to be resolved by him.
Looking at the last teleportation talisman in his hand, it was the contract of the red-haired girl. He hoped she was alright.
Just as he thought this, he saw that teleportation talisman also light up.
