I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 348 First round (26)



These beasts hadn't engaged with the ones that had dived down and were just moving around them.

Instead, they were climbing up the walls of the cave and heading towards this cliff at the entrance of this cave where we were standing.

It would only be a matter of time before they reached where we were.

Once that happened, they would be surrounded and cut off from the rest of the cave. They would be pushed back out of the cave by the beasts that were coming at them or at least stalled by these beasts that they wouldn't be able to fight for the treasures.

In short, there was nothing to gain from staying here.

Though jumping down also posed a risk.

After all, with the beasts coming over, it would only be a matter of time before the exit to the cave was blocked by them. Once that happened, it would be hard for us to leave even if we wanted to.

Once that happened, the only way forward was to charge into the large group of beasts in front of us.

After a moment of hesitation, I saId with a nod, "Alright, let's go. We'll hang at the back of their group and follow them."

Alex and Julius both nodded in agreement when they heard this since this was the best decision.

Though following them would mean that we would have to fight as well, it was still better than not following them since the vanguard would clear out most of the beasts. The ones that would be left for us would be the weak ones that escaped through the cracks, so it would be easy for us to finish them off.

It would allow us to save energy until we reached that room that was releasing this energy.

So without any further hesitation, we jumped down and followed behind the groups that had jumped down already.

It didn't take any time for us to hear screams and cries of retreat coming from behind us.

It was clear that these came from the ones that weren't fortunate enough to escape in time. Your next chapter is on empire

They were most likely seriously injured and had no choice but to back down.

After all, once we jumped down, we found that there wasn't a single beast that was weak here.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

They were just as strong as the C Rankers and with their numbers, they would certainly be hard for normal C Rankers to deal with.

Of course, with the composition of our group, it was easy for us to deal with these beasts. Plus, most of the beasts that reached us all had burns on them, showing that they were already injured by the vanguard.

So this made it very easy for us to take them down.

Since we had caught them off guard by suddenly appearing, the speed at which we went through the cave was very fast.

By the time that the beasts recovered and regained their senses, our group had already made it halfway across the room. No, looking closely, it was more than halfway.

There was only a bit left before reaching the room where the fire energy was coming from.

Since we were so close, I was actually able to see a bit of what was inside the room.

It seemed that there was some kind of red light coming from the room and I could see that there were a few beast corpses that were lying by the entrance.

These beast corpses were not beasts that we had killed…so there had to be something inside of there causing the death of these beasts.

It was most likely whatever was left behind by the mutated Salamander.

It seemed that even if we wanted to get the treasure from that room, it wouldn't be easy since the treasure wouldn't let us take it so easily.

There were others that also noticed this and a few of the sharper groups moved backwards.

Tammy also naturally noticed this, but she couldn't move back since she was the vanguard. So she had no choice but to keep using her flames to push the beasts out of our way.

While we were getting closer and closer, I said to Alex and Julius, "Let's hang back."

However, this time, both of them didn't seem as willing to accept this.

It was as if they had already been planning to charge in to see what was the source of this large amount of fire energy.

But in the end, since I was the one that said this, they agreed with me.

I couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief when I saw this.

If I didn't say anything, would I have been forced to go in with them?

That was the last thing that I wanted.

No matter how one looked at it, it seemed like there would be some kind of trial that we would need to pass to get to the treasure.

I wouldn't risk my life for something like that.

I would prefer to be the oriole behind the mantis as it stalked the cicada.

Though there was only a bit of distance left between us and that cave, these last few meters were the hardest.

That was because the beasts that were gathered outside of this room were the strongest ones out of all the beasts here.

They didn't go down in one blow from Tammy's flames and many of them were even able to fight back.

Seeing this, Tammy said, "Attack together or else we'll never make it!"

When they heard this, the ones that had been charging with her looked at each other before following her orders.

They knew that they were just a bit away from the room, so they had no choice but to work with her to reach it.

With all of these Awakeners working with Tammy, they were able to create a path to that room releasing the red light and the large amounts of fire energy.

When we reached the entrance to this room and saw what was inside, we were shocked.
