"Tell this team leader, your attacks have all been swallowed by the demon. How do you plan to kill it?"

Towards the end, the Perfected suddenly questioned them coldly.

Stone Soul and Wood Spirit were taken aback by the question. They looked at each other, unsure of how to respond.

The demon's power exceeded their expectations, and they did not possess the means to kill it.

"Now, do you still want to kill the demon?"

The Perfected asked with a sneer.

Stone Soul and Wood Spirit plunged into contemplation.

After a while, they looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and surprisingly made the decision to give up on killing the demon.

Stone Soul turned to Xiao Mu with regret, "Mr. Xiao, I think we should give up. A demon with the Power of Swallowing is beyond our capabilities to kill."

"Yes, Mr. Xiao, let it be. If we fail to kill it and instead strengthen the demon, it will create trouble."

Wood Spirit also advised him.

"Stone Soul, Wood Spirit, weren't you two the ones who approached me for cooperation?"

Xiao Mu suddenly asked, and the question greatly exceeded Stone Soul and Wood Spirit's expectations.

"Well..."

Stone Soul and Wood Spirit were caught off guard by the question. They did not expect Xiao Mu would ask such a thing.

Indeed, they were the ones who had sought cooperation with Xiao Mu but given the demon's unusual power and their lack of methods to suppress the demon, didn't they have to choose to give up?

"But, Mr. Xiao..."

Stone Soul wanted to continue to persuade him.

Xiao Mu interrupted before Stone Soul finished, "Mr. Stone, Miss Wood, I do remember our agreement. It was agreed that you two would distract the demon while I kill it, right?"

"It's true, Mr. Xiao, we didn't know at that time that the demon possesses such a terrifying Power of Swallowing."

Stone Soul gave a bitter smile.

Wood Spirit wore a regretful, reluctant look and confessed, "Stone Soul is right, Mr. Xiao. We only made such an agreement because we didn't know the demon had such a terrifying Power of Swallowing."

"Now that we know the demon possesses the Power of Swallowing, there's no need to persist, right?"

The Perfected gave an almost imperceptible smile as he heard this.

He was rather satisfied that Stone Soul and Wood Spirit were willing to recognize the difficulty and retreat. After all, the task was of utmost importance.

Shi Weiyuan and the rest of the Beast Race were filled with a sense of triumph. What could Xiao Mu do in the face of a demon possessing the Power of Swallowing? He had no choice but to give up.

In their eyes, Xiao Mu would inevitably give in and heed the advice of Stone Soul and Wood Spirit sooner or later. He was just a mere human after all, did he really have the means to deal with a demon?

However, Xiao Mu's answer once again surprised everyone. His eyes swept over Stone Soul and Wood Spirit, speaking indifferently, "As long as you two remember our agreement, that's enough. The task of killing the demon is mine. Whether I can do it or not is my business. You two don't need to worry, you just need to focus on distracting the demon. Or are you telling me you can't even do that?"

His words were harsh. Stunned by Xiao Mu's questioning gaze, Stone Soul and Wood Spirit simultaneously hung their heads in shame.

The Perfected and Shi Weiyuan, along with other members of the Beast Race, could not help but recoil in surprise.

This human, even knowing the demon possesses the Power of Swallowing, still plans not to give up?

What did he want to do? Was he seeking death?
