Silver light flashed past, and the tiger's head slammed into the ground with a thud, its massive body, gushing blood, crashing to the ground.
The twelve red-eyed tigers of the Si Chi Hu Hall were all killed in just a few minutes.
At this moment, system notifications appeared simultaneously in front of all four of them;
Five [Completed the exploration mission [Red Tiger Hall]]
Mission Objective: Kill [Red Tiger Hader] 1/1)
Mission accomplished!
The reward has been sent to your inventory. Please check your account.
"There's an extra reward?!" Lycorina exclaimed in surprise.
An Yi took off her long robe and wrapped it around the head of [Red Tiger], then looked at the still-warm roasted pig on the table;
"These red-eyed tigers are quite nice; they even prepared a big meal for us. Let's eat before we leave."
"Wait, won't the demons from their organization outside rush in?" Layton asked warily.
"No, they won't react that quickly."
Even if they realized what was happening, they wouldn't dare come in," Annie said.
When I turned around, Lycorina was already eating.
"Delicious! Much better than dry rations!"
Despite being covered in demon blood, Lycorina had already been curious about what this fat pig tasted like when she first entered.
After finishing their meal, the four began searching the lobby for their spoils.
Chapter 216 Who Hired the Assassin?! (4k)
The lobby is, after all, a place for gatherings, just as no one would deliberately leave money in the living room or kitchen. After a search, not much was found.
I suppose the money and magical items are stored somewhere else?
Finding these places won't be easy; it will definitely take some effort. What the four heroes need to do is improve their strength, not actually rob the treasures.
So after taking all the valuables and useful magical items from the Red-Eyed Tiger, the four of them pushed open the door and left.
At this time, a group of members from the Red Tiger Hall had already gathered outside the hall.
Seeing the other three, besides Miluko, covered in blood, they all felt a chill run down their spines.
...It’s over!
From this moment on, the Red Tiger Hall has changed!
It wasn't the tiger bosses who survived, but these four little ones!
An Yi, who had casually torn a piece of cloth and tied it to her face to cover her mouth and nose before coming out, raised the cloth bag in her hand and shouted to the demons surrounding her.
"Red Tiger is dead, all of you get out of the way."
A single, emotionless sentence seemed to declare that they didn't take any of the demons here seriously at all.
The members of the hall looked at the blood-red cloth bag, clenched their fists, but in the end they gritted their teeth, frowned, closed their eyes, stepped back from the road, and knelt on one knee, assuming a posture of submission.
A large number of demons knelt down on both sides of the road to make way for four small figures.
"Let's go," An Yi said calmly, taking the lead and walking past the crowd.
No one from the gang came up to ambush them; they all knew that these four "demons" could wipe them out in one fell swoop.
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn; one day, the Crimson Tiger Hall will rise again.
The enemy is only after the bounty on the Red Tigers. They don't have a bounty, so the enemy won't harm them.
Finally, the four of them went far away, leaving only their tiny silhouettes disappearing into the street.
After the four disappeared from the sight of the demons, a loud shout erupted behind them—
Swelling ∑∝Transfer:＋∵牭々〗Zero Five§*Wrapped↓∪“Farewell, Master!”
"Farewell, Master!!"
"Farewell, Master!!!"
In the territory of the Crimson Tiger Hall, the demons also learned what had happened and knelt down and shouted.
An Yi disagreed.
Even Layton scoffed at it;
"Now you're putting on a brave face, but when we came to seek refuge, you were thinking of killing us?"
"Haha~~" Lycorina couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She understood what Layton meant.
They came under the pretext of seeking refuge, meaning they were completely innocent bystanders before that.
But the group of red-eyed tigers had no intention of letting them live.
If it weren't the four members of the Saintess Squad standing in the hall, but other low-level demons, they would probably have been humiliated and then completely exploited.
These demons have committed numerous evils, and they have only themselves to blame.
But their subordinates, upon learning of their deaths, acted with an air of righteous indignation.
It's ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.
This also proves that the members of the Red Tiger Hall are no good either.
On the way back, Annie had Miluko take Layton with the tiger head to hand in the bounty first, while she and Lycorina went back to their residence first.
They used the hotel's washroom to clean off the blood, and just then, the two returned carrying their money bags.
Layton was chosen because he was the tallest of the four, although he was still a nobody among the demons, but it was definitely better than Milu going by herself.
The bounty was paid out quickly; the time it took An'i and Lycorina to clean up was enough for the highly agile demon to make a trip to the Crimson Tiger Hall to check on the situation.
When the agile demon clan saw the Seven Crimson Tigers carrying corpses out of the hall, they already knew the outcome.
If Red Tiger were still alive, and the other party were to try and fool him with a mere tiger head, would Red Tiger allow the other party to wreak havoc in the Red Tiger Hall and escape unscathed?
impossible.
Red Tiger must be dead.
That tiger's head was indeed the head of a red tiger.
Layton returned covered in blood. The high-ranking demons didn't care about his money, and the low-ranking demons didn't dare to rob him. So he and Milu returned safely.
Upon returning, I received some "bad news".
The room was indeed broken into by the demons, who stole all the gold coins inside.
Annie and Lycorina tidied up the room a bit, but you could still see how it had been ransacked before.
Even the dry rations piled together were scattered haphazardly, ending up all over the ground.
There were fewer of them, as if some demons had eaten some of them, found them unpalatable, and then casually scattered them away.
"Go take a shower first, we'll clean up here."
Annie said to Layton, and continued picking up the dry food from the ground with Lycorina.
"it is good!"
Layton agreed and, following Annie's suggestion, went to the innkeeper to borrow a bathroom.
Demons don't have a great need for bathing. Unless they're covered in blood like they are, they usually only wash themselves once in a long while.
After Layton returned, Milo said she would also go and take a shower.
Although there was no blood on her, she still felt there was a bloody smell on her, so it would be better to wash her off.
When Milu arrived at the so-called washroom, she discovered that it was just a place with several large water vats and several small buckets underneath.
So he quickly washed his face and went back.
...I thought I could take a shower or a bath!
Actually, the other three people only washed their hair and face, and cleaned their upper bodies; in this kind of environment, they couldn't wash themselves too thoroughly.
Most of the time is actually spent doing laundry.
Back in the room, all three were wearing spare clothes, while the blood-stained clothes from the battle were being strung horizontally across Lycorina's staff.
Lycorina held up one end of her staff, spreading out her clothes, while Annie stood beside her, blowing air through a short sword to dry the clothes.
The scene looked a bit strange, but Mi Lu didn't say anything; she just sat down on the bed in silence.
No one spoke, seemingly exhausted from the campaign.
Although the battle was short, all four of them were highly focused.
They seized the most critical moments and won against the group of red-eyed tigers through strategy, rather than overwhelming them with superior attributes.
None of the four used equipment to improve their attributes, because An Yi said they should conserve their stamina as much as possible.
Improving attributes means consuming more stamina.
If they kill all twelve red-eyed tigers, what if there are still one hundred and twenty waiting for them outside?
Under normal circumstances, the members of the Crimson Tiger Hall should not take action, just like what we just saw.
But since we are in the demon realm, we have to prepare for the worst.
In an extreme scenario, there might be a second-in-command among the gang members who believes that An Yi and his three companions are exhausted after killing twelve red-eyed tigers and should seek revenge now.
In such an extreme situation, hundreds or even thousands of demons would inevitably attack, turning the entire block into their battlefield.
If you waste too much energy, how are you going to fight your way out of the street?
Among the many members of the Crimson Tiger Hall are demons with strange and unusual abilities, so we must also consider the possibility that the opponent might use slowing or binding magic.
At that time, even Miluko will find it difficult to escape.
Improving attributes and finishing the battle quickly is good, but it's also like what Anyi reminded Lycorina before—
This is demon territory, not human territory.
Since we're in the Demon Realm, we must be prepared for the worst and always have a trump card up our sleeve.
