After hearing Captain Chen's words, Lu Gang had a guess.
Lin Feng was able to kill the Snake Demon because it was in extremely poor condition due to its pregnancy.
That's how Lin Feng got lucky!
Of course, Lu Gang didn't know.
Although the Snake Demon was pregnant and its condition was slightly worse.
It was still not something an ordinary Body Tempering martial artist could contend with.
Hu Biao was killed in one move. Even Squad Leader Li, the strongest among the squad leaders, would only last two or three more moves.
The physical bodies of Demonic Beasts were simply beyond human comparison.
Lin Feng's ability to kill a Second-Order Demon was largely due to his outstanding strength and courage!
Just as Lu Gang was filled with resentment.
Captain Chen's indifferent voice came from the side:
"Lu Gang."
"You are responsible for conveying the information from the Demon Suppression Division this time."
"Can you explain why a Second-Order Demon appeared?"
Captain Chen's voice was incredibly stern, and the surging true qi around him was intimidating.
Lu Gang shivered all over. He looked at Captain Chen beside him and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
The Demon Suppression Division's intelligence department had original records.
A quick cross-reference would reveal who was behind the sabotage.
With a thump.
Lu Gang knelt directly on the ground and said with a trembling voice, "Captain, I, I was just..."
If Lin Feng, Hu Biao, and the others had died, there would have been no witnesses.
No one would have investigated him.
Who could have predicted that Lin Feng and Hu Biao would survive?!
Captain Chen snorted coldly, his eyes carrying a hint of sternness.
He himself had been promoted from Squad Leader to Captain, so he knew a lot about the trivial matters within the Demon Suppression Division.
The quotas for the Demon Suppression Division were extremely precious, and some people used these quotas to trade in the outside world.
This was not something Lu Gang had done alone.
"If that Demonic Beast hadn't been in such a weakened state, the Demon Suppression Division would have lost an Archery genius this time!"
Captain Chen said with stern eyes, "You are fined six months' salary. Reflect on your actions!"
Six months' salary!
Lu Gang's eyes widened.
The martial path waits for no one. Losing six months' salary meant his progress would be significantly slowed!
However, under Captain Chen's imposing authority, he dared not utter a single word of protest.
He could only tremble and nod: "Yes, Captain."
Inside, he harbored a vicious hatred for Lin Feng.
It was all this damned little brat's fault. Why couldn't he have just died peacefully like his father?
He had to come back alive!
Causing him to lose six months' salary...
The seed of hatred was sown in Lu Gang's heart.
Meanwhile.
Lin Feng and the others carried the Demonic Beast to the completed Heavenly Prison gate.
Lin Feng looked up. The Heavenly Prison gate was about three zhang high, pressing down like a mountain.
The two gates were covered in thick, dark red rust, stained with the blood of countless Demonic Beasts.
Eight guards stood at the entrance, their gazes sharp as lightning. Just a glance from them made everyone feel a tightening in their hearts.
The Demon Suppression Division's Heavenly Prison held ferocious and cruel Demonic Beasts, or fierce individuals who had committed great crimes.
In short, none of them were to be trifled with.
"Place the Demonic Beast by the entrance," one of the guards said coldly.
With a bang, several Demonic Beast corpses were thrown onto the ground.
The guard waved his hand.
Lin Feng and the others left directly.
On the way back, Lin Feng was walking alone towards his residence.
Unexpectedly, many newcomers began to gather around him.
"Brother Lin, I didn't expect you to be not only handsome but also able to kill a Second-Order Demon. Amazing!"
"Although Captain Chen said the demon was not in good condition, I believe that even if the demon was at its peak, it still couldn't withstand Brother Lin's arrow!"
"Brother Lin, it's only a matter of time before you become a Squad Leader. I am willing to follow you."
Several newcomers approached, chattering away in a fawning tone.
Some even secretly took out some money, calling it a meeting gift.
After becoming a Squad Leader, one could have five subordinates.
Newcomers to the Demon Suppression Division naturally wanted to form alliances.
But they knew that those Squad Leaders looked down on them.
Joining their teams would only make them cannon fodder.
Lin Feng, as a newcomer with outstanding strength, was a promising prospect to follow.
But Lin Feng's ambition lay elsewhere.
What was a mere Squad Leader to him?
He didn't just want to be a Squad Leader, even a Squad Leader was nothing!
Lin Feng's goal was a Colonel, or even a Demon Suppression Envoy above a Colonel!
"We'll talk about these things later."
Lin Feng politely declined all the newcomers' solicitations.
Then, ignoring the disappointed expressions of the newcomers, Lin Feng walked straight towards his house.
As he reached the front of his house, Lin Feng stopped.
A person was standing by the door.
Lin Feng was very familiar with this person; it was Hu Biao, who had just been on the mission with him.
Seeing Lin Feng return, Hu Biao walked over and handed him the box in his hand, saying in a deep voice, "Little brother, if it weren't for you, I would have died in the Snake Demon's mouth."
"I have an eighty-year-old mother at home and a two-year-old daughter. If I, their father, were gone, it would be the end of the world!"
"This box contains three Body Tempering Pills. If you take them, you will soon advance to the Fifth Level of Body Tempering."
Hearing this, Lin Feng was stunned.
Hu Biao was truly grateful.
He had saved his life on a whim.
He hadn't expected to receive three Body Tempering Pills?
Body Tempering Pills were valuable for martial artists in the Body Tempering realm!
After taking them, they could temper the internal organs, tendons, and bones, accelerating the growth of the Body Tempering realm!
As Hu Biao said, with three Body Tempering Pills, Lin Feng could quickly reach the Fifth Level of Body Tempering in a short period!
Lin Feng lacked cultivation resources because his realm was too low.
Lin Feng did not refuse and accepted the box.
"Thank you."
He truly needed cultivation resources and would not refuse any.
Hu Biao waved his hands repeatedly, "You flatter me! You are my savior; I should be thanking you!"
"Although my realm and potential are low, I am still an old member of the Demon Suppression Division."
"Little brother, if there's anything you don't understand about the Demon Suppression Division, feel free to ask me. I'll tell you everything I know."
Hu Biao knew that his greatest value to Lin Feng was information.
After all, he had been in the Demon Suppression Division for quite some time.
However, Hu Biao had arrived at the perfect time, as Lin Feng did have many questions.
Lin Feng then spoke, "Brother Hu, I happen to have something I want to ask."
"I obtained 200 Merit Points. I wonder how many Body Tempering Pills 200 Merit Points can be exchanged for?"
Hearing this, Hu Biao pondered for a moment and replied, "A Body Tempering Pill costs 20 Merit Points."
Looking at it this way, 20 Merit Points could only be exchanged for 10 pills?
Ten Body Tempering Pills were acceptable for ordinary people, but for Lin Feng, who wanted to level up quickly, it was still not enough!
At this moment, Hu Biao said, "Little brother, Merit Points can be used not only to exchange for pills but also for other things."
"For example, some martial arts, some cultivation methods!"
