"This is it."

Outside the Wasteland base built by Wangyou Media, a dilapidated truck stopped far away in the sparse woods with a clatter. Several huge figures crawled out of the back.

Yellow Big Tiger jumped off the truck and looked around. Seeing no one, he cautiously took a few steps forward, looking at the obscured perimeter of the base ahead. Then, he took out a small mobile phone from his palm and confirmed something.

Black Tiger, with a bruised and swollen face, circled the truck. "All the money we had left went into buying this new truck, and it's already smashed up like this," he said with some heartache.

Big Rhinoceros Deer jumped down from the driver's seat and shot Black Tiger a cold glance. "I told you I can't drive this thing, and you two can't fit in the driver's seat. What else could we do?"

As Tiger Demon transformed, Yellow Big Tiger and Little Black Cub were too large to fit into a human-designed cockpit. The two Rhinoceros Deer Demons could barely squeeze into the driver's seat, but the problem was... they didn't know how to drive.

Having just escaped the Wasteland, the two brothers only learned not to eat trash on the ground after tasting rat poison a few times. Expecting them to master driving was indeed asking too much of a Rhinoceros Deer.

Dirty Dreadlocks Lion, as their coach, had suffered greatly to teach one Rhinoceros Deer to drive, all while being forbidden from smoking or calling his students idiots.

Yellow Big Tiger had also paid extra for this.

But there was no other way. Although this was the outskirts, there had been a lot of traffic lately. If they didn't drive, the few Demonic Beasts would be discovered before they could get far.

By the time Big Rhinoceros Deer had driven the truck here, it was not exactly intact, but close to being scrapped.

"The target... is here?" Second Rhinoceros Deer stared intently at the base. "Are you sure?"

"Sure," Yellow Big Tiger nodded. He had a picture on his phone showing Yue Wen and Zhao Xing'er driving their RV into the base. "I hired the Flying Bird Group to track them. They'll notify me once they're far from the city."

The Flying Bird Group was a demon organization in Jiang City, founded by a few bird demons who could control birds for observation and surveillance. For demons who dared not show themselves openly, the Flying Bird Group's assistance was very practical, serving as a powerful source of intelligence.

But it came at a steep price.

When they fled the Tiger Head Gang, they didn't take much with them. After spending all this money, the two Tiger Demon brothers were now completely broke.

But they didn't care about revenge. Money could be earned again, but if their brothers' revenge wasn't taken, it might be too late...

Yellow Big Tiger usually watched human movies and anime when he was bored in the basement. He knew how terrifying these young humans without parents could be. He was currently in the lower three realms, but who knew if he'd be in the upper three realms soon!

So, revenge had to be taken quickly.

Of course, he himself didn't watch them. Although he was trying to learn human culture, reading pure text was still too sophisticated for him. Even among humans, only those who were exceptionally intelligent, outstanding in appearance, and noble in character would consider reading as a hobby.

While he was observing and thinking, Second Rhinoceros Deer, upon hearing the word "sure," grabbed a hammer and walked over.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Yellow Big Tiger quickly reached out to stop him. "What are you doing?"

"What do you mean, what am I doing?" Second Rhinoceros Deer turned back blankly. "Going after the target."

Big Rhinoceros Deer also rolled up his sleeves, holding a wrench. "Leave it to us. We're professionals."

"Professionals my ass!" Yellow Big Tiger pointed at the base, its perimeter blocked by a shed. "Do you know what kind of place that is?"

Big Rhinoceros Deer closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "There are many restless demonic auras. That feeling is familiar. Is it the territory of some Demon King?"

"That's a private garden! It says so on the sign, can't you read? You can only sense demonic auras, but you don't know how many human cultivators are hidden inside!" Yellow Big Tiger said. "If you just barge in like that, aren't you seeking your own death?"

"Seeking what road?" Second Rhinoceros Deer's eyes were vacant. "Did the reindeer come too?"

"What reindeer," Yellow Big Tiger said, exasperated. "It means you can't just barge into human territory recklessly. You have to be careful."

"What eggs?" Big Rhinoceros Deer frowned, looking at him. "Did the chickens come too?"

"Your mother came too!" Yellow Big Tiger was almost driven mad. "Idioms, do you understand idioms!"

Second Rhinoceros Deer looked around. "My mother is here? Really?"

"..." Yellow Big Tiger looked defeated. After a moment of silence, he said, "Listen to my command, alright?"

"You're paying, of course, we'll listen to your command," Big Rhinoceros Deer said, pulling his brother and nodding.

"You haven't learned anything else from the human world, but you've learned the concept of money pretty quickly," Yellow Big Tiger sighed. "Let's observe here for a while, see what they're doing inside, and then find a chance to sneak in when the gate opens. If we just rush in like this, do you know how many members of the Human Race are inside?"

"Mm," Big Rhinoceros Deer agreed.

The few demons then crouched together in a ditch on the hillside, looking towards the base and observing carefully.

"You really need to learn from me. Your methods are too crude," Yellow Big Tiger said. "My brothers and I have been involved in the underworld for over a decade. We've carried out countless assassinations without a single mistake. I'm the professional in this regard."

"Then how did your brothers die?" Big Rhinoceros Deer asked.

"..." Yellow Big Tiger fell silent.

He didn't know how to explain. After being cautious for over a decade, they were suddenly wiped out. He still found it hard to accept.

"My brothers were just playing poker and listening to music at home when those two cultivators came and went on a killing spree the moment they entered," Black Tiger replied.

"We don't need to tell them so much," Yellow Big Tiger said.

"I heard those two only charged five hundred yuan to come and kill them," Black Tiger continued indignantly. "That was five hundred combined!"

"Keep your voice down!" Yellow Big Tiger snapped. "It's not something to be proud of!"

"Only five hundred for killing three people?" Second Rhinoceros Deer looked up at Big Rhinoceros Deer. "Big brother, is fifty thousand for killing two people a bit too much?"

"Stop saying embarrassing things," Big Rhinoceros Deer scolded. "Five hundred is more than fifty! I've taught you this several times!"

"Oh..." Second Rhinoceros Deer nodded.

Yellow Big Tiger closed his eyes in despair, deeply feeling that this team had no future.

Just then, heavy trucks began to drive in, their tires making the road hum. Several enormous Demonic Beasts felt the ground tremble violently beneath them. This convoy consisted of dozens of such large vehicles, their cargo sealed, looking like a black dragon's spine from afar.

At the same time, the garden gates opened, and a group of people poured out, directing the convoy to enter the garden in an orderly fashion.

Big Rhinoceros Deer closed its eyes and sniffed the air, "The demonic energy is so strong, even stronger than inside!"

"A great opportunity!"

Seeing the scene before him, Yellow Big Tiger's eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance. His instincts as a predator told him this was the perfect chance to sneak into the garden.

"Watch what I do and follow!"

He let out a low growl, then dropped to all fours and sprinted, as if returning to his beast form. He circled around the hillside, appearing on the side of the heavy truck convoy. With a nimble leap, he suddenly scrambled under a heavy truck, clinging to the underside as he entered the garden.

At this moment, he was the majestic overlord of the forest!

Big Rhinoceros Deer and Second Rhinoceros Deer followed closely. Though the two brothers appeared a bit clumsy, they moved with a strange agility. With a sway, they caught up to Yellow Big Tiger, and in a couple of quick movements, each leaped to the underside of a truck.

Only Black Tiger ran into trouble. It dared not reveal its true form, but it wasn't very skilled with this human body. During its leap, a slight miscalculation caused it to brush against a tire, and with a bang, it was hit.

It was thrown violently by the heavy tire, tumbling several times before landing on the ground, dazed.

"What was that sound?" Someone noticed the commotion and looked over.

The hearts of several Demonic Beasts leaped into their throats.

If they alerted these Humans and they checked all the vehicles, their plan would be ruined!

Immediately, they heard a Human shout, "What's going on? One fell out! Luckily, it's been drugged, so it won't wake up too quickly. Hurry and escort it into the park together!"

"Coming, coming!" Several cultivators accompanying the vehicles ran over and picked up Black Tiger.

One of them looked back, "Did any of the cargo compartments have problems? Is this one of ours?"

"It must be," another replied. "Look at its bruised face; it must have gotten injured hitting the city's barrier."

"That makes sense..."

As the Humans chatted, the entire professional assassin team entered the park.

A few minutes later, Director's voice came through Yue Wen and the others' earpieces.

"Everyone, keep your expressions still and continue with your actions. I have some news for you all."

"Due to your exceptionally heroic performance, our Demonic Beast reserves in the Wasteland are insufficient. We've introduced a new batch of Demonic Beasts, and this group is slightly stronger. Be prepared. If we don't increase the intensity, the simulated urgency of the Wasteland will be too weak. Of course, with your cultivation levels, you should still be able to handle it."

"Currently, Sister Hua has the highest viewership in her personal livestream, followed by Fei Xia and Yue Wen. Especially Yue Wen, you're very popular with the audience right now, so keep up the good work."

"You can also rest when it gets late. There aren't many viewers during this time, and you've been exploring for a long time. As long as it's safe, you can sleep a bit to recover your energy."

Yue Wen was taken aback by this. What performance?

Besides being handsome, what else had he done to please the audience?

Whatever, it didn't matter.

As for resting, that was even more absurd. He had finally arrived at such a great place; he wished he could split himself into three to kill Evil Spirits. Rest?

The Demonic Beasts were right there. If you didn't hunt them, someone else would.

How could he possibly sleep?

"Ji Yang, your personal livestream has the lowest viewership, currently last place. You can learn from Yue Wen and kill more Demonic Beasts," the Director reminded him. "The audience seems to dislike you searching for treasure chests and prefers to watch combat."

"Alright, that's all, over!"

After the Director's voice ended, everyone had different expressions.

Ji Yang, who had been diligently searching for treasure chests, gritted his teeth. He had wanted to open more boxes to win the game, but they preferred watching him kill Demonic Beasts?

Heh heh, fine.

Then let them see the might of a Hidden Dragon Pool disciple!
