Shearing the Hunter Union's Wool

The Scale Skin Demon Soldier that tried to sneak attack Lingling on the rooftop was easily taken down by Dongfang Chen.

After dealing with this Scale Skin Demon Soldier, Dongfang Chen used his Soul Power to probe the surroundings.

Under the Soul Power's detection, the Scale Skin Demon Soldiers had nowhere to hide.

He caught another three.

With that, all Scale Skin Demon Soldiers near the Masterpiece Private Garden had been captured.

"What should we do with these six demons? How about I burn them all with flames?"

The Scale Skin Demon Mother was a demon that parasitized the surface of human skin. Dongfang Chen was confident he could use his excellent Fire Control Skill to burn these demons without harming the hosts.

He could even purify them with Light Magic.

But Light Magic purification was clearly not as fast as directly burning them with Exotic Fire.

"Then burn them. They're just ordinary Scale Skin Demon Soldiers. The Source of Infection, the Scale Skin Demon Mother, isn't here. I need to notify the Hunter Union."

Lingling's head ached.

These Scale Skin Demon Soldiers were clearly newly infected demons, just recently spawned by the Scale Skin Demon Mother.

This was just an ordinary Residential Area, and they'd caught six. If she looked at the whole Magic City...

Lingling didn't dare think further.

Forget it. She'd leave this headache to the Hunter Union.

"The Source of Infection isn't here?"

Dongfang Chen frowned.

In the Original Work, the female host who came to the Qingtian Hunter Club for help was the Scale Skin Demon Mother's host.

But now it had turned into an ordinary Scale Skin Demon Soldier?

Didn't that mean the real Scale Skin Demon Mother was still secretly spreading the infection?

But this couldn't be rushed, because rushing was useless—unless Dongfang Chen went all out using Soul Power to search the entire city for the Scale Skin Demon Mother's whereabouts.

That would be a thankless task.

Dongfang Chen planned to milk the Hunter Union for all it was worth.

Once Lingling reported the Scale Skin Demon Mother matter to the Hunter Union.

The Union would definitely release a mission to deal with it.

Why not take advantage of such free benefits?

After the incident ended.

The male host who had come for help had already paid the commission to Lingling.

Even though Lingling knew Dongfang Chen was rich, she still split the commission with him.

At the Qingtian Hunter Club.

Lingling was curled up in Dongfang Chen's arms playing a video game.

Her cute Twintails brushed against the tip of Dongfang Chen's nose, making it itch.

Suddenly, Lingling's phone buzzed with a message.

She picked it up, glanced at it, and said to Dongfang Chen.

"Dongfang Chen, the Hunter Union released a new mission for the Scale Skin Demon Mother. It's a ten million bounty mission."

"Oh?" Dongfang Chen was a bit surprised.

An ordinary Bounty Mission was usually just a few tens of thousands.

A bounty of over a million was already considered a big one.

He hadn't expected the Hunter Union to be so generous this time, directly putting out a ten million bounty. It seemed they also realized the seriousness of the Scale Skin Demon Mother.

"Did you finish that thing?" Dongfang Chen looked at Lingling in his arms.

"Heh heh, finished it long ago."

Lingling picked up a tablet and tapped it a few times with her small hand.

"This is an electronic map of Magic City. Once I import the Tracker, I can track the remaining Scale Skin Demon Mothers."

Lingling had gotten the inspiration for making this Tracker from Dongfang Chen.

Since the Scale Skin Demon Mother spread through blood, that meant they could use the blood to reverse-track it and the other Scale Skin Demon Soldiers.

Back when they caught those six Servant Level Scale Skin Demon Soldiers, Dongfang Chen had deliberately collected a lot of their blood, and now it came in handy.

"Ah!"

After importing the Tracker into the Magic City electronic map, Lingling gasped.

"How can there be so many!"

On the tablet screen, there were countless tiny red dots, each one representing a Scale Skin Demon Soldier. They were so densely packed that they almost merged into red patches.

"These red dots are all gathered at the Mingzhu Academy Gymnasium. I remember there's a concert there today. Could they be planning to use this opportunity to wildly infect others?" Lingling guessed.

"Anyway, notify the Hunter Union first and have them send support. I'll head over to check the situation," Dongfang Chen said, grabbing Lingling by the thighs and setting her aside before standing up to leave.

"Alright, be careful... Actually, let me have Grandfather notify Fan Mo. It'll be safer if he goes with you."

Dongfang Chen nodded. He knew Lingling was worried about him, so he didn't refuse her kindness. Besides, Fan Mo was Mofan's alias, and that guy loved getting involved in profitable trouble like this.

With Shadow Escape Magic, Dongfang Chen's travel speed was extremely fast. In truth, he didn't need Lingling's Tracker at all, since he could release his Soul Perception to detect the location of every Scale Skin Demon Soldier. The reason he'd made the Tracker was mainly for the Hunter Union's convenience. Lingling's map was uploaded in real time, so the Hunter Union could also receive the red dot signals on it.

After arriving at the Gymnasium, Dongfang Chen dialed Dean Xiao's number.

"Scale Skin Demon Mother?!" After Dongfang Chen told Dean Xiao about the Scale Skin Demon Mother, the other party grasped the severity of the situation.

"Can you confirm that all the Scale Skin Demon Mothers are active only within the Green Campus area?" Dean Xiao asked over the phone. If the Scale Skin Demon Mothers dared to operate in the Main Campus of Mingzhu Academy, he wouldn't be as worried. Most students in the Main Campus were seasoned Intermediate Level Mages; even if they couldn't defeat a Commander Level Scale Skin Demon Mother, they wouldn't easily fall prey to its parasitism. The Green Campus, however, was the most dangerous. Although there were some talented students there who had reached the Intermediate Level, the majority were still just Beginner Mages. If their practical experience was lacking, even a single Servant Level Scale Skin Demon Soldier could take their lives.

"I'm not at the school right now. I'll have the Department Head contact you about This Matter."

"No need. I'll give you a number. She's a Master Level Hunter. Just have the Department Head follow her orders."

Dongfang Chen sent Lingling's number to Dean Xiao.

"Alright, I'll leave the Green Campus to you. When I get back, I'll credit you with the top merit," Dean Xiao said after receiving Lingling's number.

"Dongfang Chen, there's one ten meters into the left passage!" Lingling's voice came through the earpiece.

Dongfang Chen Looked Towards the deep, dark Emergency Exit Passage on the left. The next second, he clenched his palm.

Mind Control!

Space Force formed an invisible giant hand, instantly gripping a Scale Skin Demon Soldier that was clinging to the ceiling of the Emergency Exit Passage.

"Gah~~!!" The creature was a sickly greenish-yellow. It clearly hadn't expected Dongfang Chen to spot it. Trapped by Space Force, its body writhed wildly as it let out harsh, grating cries.

"Careful! Several red dots are heading your way. She's calling her companions!" Lingling warned.

"Perfect, I'll use her as bait," Dongfang Chen thought about incinerating the Scale Skin Demon Soldier with his Exotic Fire right away, but since it could summon its allies, there was no rush.

"Strange?! The red dots are increasing. They seem to be chasing something!" Lingling's voice came again.
