“President, I think we should do some realistic training. How about you fight us?”
West looked at Chen Zhao seriously. This was probably his most serious offer.
“I can’t control my strength, so how about no?” Chen Zhao said. “I’ll find something to be your training partner.”
“Find something?” Everyone was confused.
“Go outside.”
Everyone went to the beach beside the front yard. Chen Zhao came a while later.
“Everyone ready?”
Everyone was nervous, but they nodded in unison. “Ready.”
“Okay, I’ll call it out.”
Whoosh!
Something fell from the sky.
The group was taken aback. They looked carefully at the thing that had fallen. A stone statue?
It was a bit larger than an adult and made completely out of purple-black stone.
It looked like some creature. Its entire body was covered by something like bat wings and its appearance wasn’t clear.
Chen Zhao snapped his fingers and the gargoyle awoke.
Everyone’s first reaction was to run and scream for help.
Did they want to fight with the Family with that level?
A mere gargoyle could mess up their entire formation.
The only one who remained composed was Jollinash, but her elemental spell couldn’t harm the gargoyle.
She was still too weak. The power of her wind blades was like tossing out a knife.
Her fireballs were probably as strong as a firecracker.
Perhaps she could hurt a human, but it was negligible toward a gargoyle.
It was only slightly harmful against spirits too.
Chen Zhao was speechless. What was this?
“Baliya, support me with your war dance!” Jollinash yelled. “You all, help give me and Baliya more time. I’ll do something big!”
She realized that the gargoyle wasn’t very smart.
The others knew that they couldn’t keep going like this.
Mainly, Chen Zhao’s expression was looking worse and worse.
They’d suggested doing a realistic practice.
But they were performing so badly.
They really were testing Chen Zhao’s patience.
They had to work together.
Baliya started stripping.
Jollinash felt for the dance’s effect.
Chen Zhao scratched his nose. Thankfully, Fali wasn’t here.
To be honest, if you ignored the war dance’s effect, Baliya’s dance was also very seductive.
If Fali saw that he had a stripper dance at home, he didn’t know how she would feel.
Jollinash accumulated power for a minute and finally released the bomb.
“Move away!”
Boom!
The bomb exploded on the gargoyle. Its lower body shattered instantly. It fell onto the ground, turning back into a stone statue.
“Success?”
“Haha… We did it.”
But their smiles didn’t last long before they saw that the gargoyle was recovering.
Their faces fell as if their parents had died.
Thankfully, the gargoyle didn’t continue to attack.
It was daytime, so the gargoyle wasn’t very lively.
Night was the gargoyle’s stage.
At night, their liveliness and recovery speed would improve greatly.
Chen Zhao looked at all of them.
Their performance still didn’t pass, but there was no need to continue training now.
After all, they would set off soon. Continuing would use up their strength and mana.
“Okay, go take a break. We’ll leave after lunch.”
“President, can we…bring that thing too? This way, we’ll be much stronger.”
“I need someone to guard my house too,” Chen Zhao said matter-of-factly.
The group couldn’t say anything. It wasn’t like they could say, “No, our fight is more important.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
“Ados, drive yourself back to the office after you drive us to the place.”
After arriving at Foundation Mountain, the group organized their equipment and then entered the forest officially.
After half an hour, they found a camp.
“This must be the Family’s camp from earlier.”
“But where are they?”
“They might’ve gone into the ancient relic,” Chen Zhao said.
“Forgot to ask that Akiro why they came.”
“It’s not far from the ancient relic,” Chen Zhao said. “Let’s go there too.”
“President, are the Crypt Demons really that scary?”
They all had unnatural expressions, looking at Chen Zhao nervously.
Chen Zhao glanced at them. “Yes, very scary. There was once an expedition team that had firearm equipment, but they suffered serious casualties.”
“President, should we change our plan?”
“Do you want to join Morid and Moore?”
“Pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Under Chen Zhao’s lead, the group arrived at the mouth of the cave.
Chen Zhao was very familiar with this place now.
“Don’t worry. There aren’t any Crypt Demons here.”
“President, can we light a fire?” Jollinash asked. “It’s too dark here.”
Humans were innately afraid of the dark.
Darkness meant the unknown and danger. It was passed down from prehistoric times.
After Chen Zhao nodded, Jollinash snapped her fingers.
A ball of fire appeared in her palm. Then it split into three and flew before the group.
In the darkness, a shadow had appeared near the group.
Woolie hid in the darkness. Even when the three fireballs flew past him, they still couldn’t illuminate him.
Grandfather had cast Invisibility on him, so he was now invisible.
“Grandfather, the Supernatural Organization has arrived,” Woolie whispered into his walkie-talkie.
“They actually found this place?” The Grandfather was surprised.
“Not only that, but their president is also still alive. I see him in the group.”
“Stop them. Don’t let them approach the pyramid. Their arrival will alert the Crypt Demons.”
Woolie took out a dagger and snuck toward Chen Zhao.
He was invisible now and even his smell was covered.
He wouldn’t be discovered even if he stood right in front of the Supernatural Organization.
Not even the Crypt Demons could discover him, let alone them.
But it was still dangerous to approach Crypt Demons, not because they were blind, but they had sharp noses.
They could sense heat too.
That’s why the Family all had a cold treatment. They carried an ice cube to lower their body temperature.
Woolie raised his dagger, preparing to slit Chen Zhao’s throat.
“Oh, I have something to say.”
