1299 The Must Kill List!

Jarrod saw everything and paid more attention to Wang Teng.

Justus was captain commander of the Elite Guards. He was always by the side of the devil emperor and held a high status.

That amount of care meant that Wang Teng was seen in high regard.

All kinds of thoughts flashed in his mind as he asked politely, “What is your name?”

“Sir, my name is Justin.” Wang Teng said.

“Erm, your name… Are you serious?” Jarrod was stunned for a moment. He felt that there was something wrong with the name.

“I’m very serious,” Wang Teng replied solemnly.

“My apologies. I was just a little curious.” Jarrod shook his head. “Right, you don’t have to address me as sir. I’m just a small captain temporarily helping Jarrod manage Elite Guards’ matters.”

“Sure, Captain Jarrod,” Wang Teng replied.

The captain smiled with relief, seeing that Wang Teng didn’t disrespect him despite being admired by the higher ups. “I will gather everyone. You can select fifty of them to make your team.”

Soon after, he gathered all the devil armor apparitions in the open space; they lined up neatly.

Wang Teng looked at them and his eyes flickered. There were more than a thousand of them who were devil kings at least.

Based on Jarrod’s briefing, those apparitions were the elites of the whole Devil Armor Race. There were more of their ordinary kindred elsewhere.

That was quite a frightening number.

Besides, there were more apparitions from other races; their numbers wouldn’t be much lower in comparison. They were all gathered in their respective areas.

Wang Teng estimated the number of elite apparitions from all races and could come up with a rough number. His heart felt heavy with what he found.

So many!

There were too many apparitions gathered there!

Humanity was clueless about this. It would be a catastrophe if all of them appeared at the same time.

Furthermore, there was also that Dark Behemoth.

This implied that the creatures had a plan; they were definitely not having a picnic down there.

“Everyone, this is Captain Justin who has just been personally appointed by our Sir personally. If any of you wish to be part of his team, please step forward.” Jarrod’s voice pulled Wang Teng back to reality.

The group of elites exchanged glances and looked at Wang Teng while discussing softly.

“Sir appointed him personally. Is he from a noble family?”

“I know him. He fought a low-tier devil emperor out there, and they were evenly matched. He’s strong.”

“He was able to end in a tie. No wonder he was appointed as a captain.”

“I want to join Sir Justin’s team.”

“Me too, count me in.”

…

Soon after, there were several apparitions stepping out to express their interest in joining.

The process was smooth, and there was no dissatisfaction within the ranks.

Dark apparitions respected the strong, and Wang Teng’s strength left them with no doubts.

After all, many of them had seen him in action.

The strength to fight evenly with a low-tier devil emperor was not something to sneeze at.

Just like that, Wang Teng became a small captain of the Devil Armor Race’s Elite Guards, marking a successful infiltration into the enemy’s inner ring.

It took him less than half a day to make a name for himself amongst them. If General Cameron and the others knew about it… their eyes would have popped out of their sockets.

However, Wang Teng’s dark force would be exposed if they really found out.

After all, such an infiltration job wasn’t something doable with ordinary means.

By then, even if General Cameron didn’t act on it, others in the military would try their best to keep him lurking inside enemy ranks.

Years after years!

Wang Teng couldn’t help but shudder at the thought.

Night fell, but it didn’t make much difference in a forest shrouded by black mist. It was the time for dark apparitions to go out and hunt.

A large number of dark apparitions moved out to look for food.

On the other hand, the advanced-rank apparitions were still in the building. There wasn’t any movement.

Wang Teng took advantage of this opportunity, leaving a clone outside, hiding it well. It would deliver a message to headquarters during the day.

From the looks of it, he would have to stay among the dark apparitions for a while. General Cameron and the others could think he was dead already if no news were relayed.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Wang Teng spent that period in the dark apparitions’ nest. Aside from being sent out on patrol the second day, there was nothing else to do.

The devil mind apparition never showed up, as if having vanished completely.

Wang Teng knew he couldn’t wait for much longer. He had already figured out the apparition’s patrol schedule and was both confident and ready to take action.

He was going to sneak into the building on the back of the Obelisk Scale Dragon Beast.

He had not gone to many areas of the building. Thus far he managed to find that there were indeed devil mind dark apparitions residing, located somewhere on the third floor.

The Devil Mind Race was special. Many apparitions were very secretive and unwilling to mention them whenever he probed for information, as if they were a taboo subject.

Fortunately, Wang Teng found out what he needed to know.

By then he stopped posing as a devil armor creature. He found a place and switched to pose as a vampire. He then went to the third floor and approached the location he had found.

Based on what the other apparitions said, none of the different races could casually enter the Devil Mind Race’s turf. They could risk being ‘eaten’ directly by them if discovered.

That was why our hero had to be careful.

He walked in the dark passage silently, concealing his aura as he hid in the darkness using his disguising skills.

Luke’s talent for disguise couldn’t be underestimated. Combined with the apparitions’ concealing skills, an ordinary creature would be incapable of detecting him.

After walking for several meters, he finally saw a few figures coming out of the darkness, then walking to another passage.

They didn’t notice Teng’s presence.

The latter’s pupils shrank, bewildered by the people he saw.

Those figures were basically humans, not dark apparitions.

Wang Teng was even familiar with two of them. One of them was Moira, while the other was the devil mind dark apparition he was chasing before.

Wind element fairy!

No wonder!

Wang Teng finally understood why the fellow was so fast. That apparition was occupying the body of a ‘Windranger’.

Sure enough, it’s the Devil Mind Race!

Wang Teng’s eyes flashed, immediately activating his Eyes of Essence to confirm the true identities of those figures.

They weren’t humans. They were all apparitions occupying human bodies.

Even Moira had been possessed.

Wang Teng felt a familiar Soul Origin inside her body. It was the devil mind dark apparition he had captured once.

No wonder they wanted to kidnap Moira!

It was to provide that creature with a body.

Luckily, our hero could sense that Moira’s soul was still intact. That meant that she was still alive.

It also looked like the apparition wouldn’t ‘eat’ her for the time being as her soul was surprisingly powerful. Digesting her soul would take a very long time.

“Huh?”

Suddenly, the apparition hijacking the wind element fairy’s body stopped and looked behind.

Wang Teng jumped in fright.

Was I discovered?

“What’s wrong, Brumberg?” asked the fellow occupying Moira’s body, somewhat confused.

Brumberg hesitated. “I felt like someone was watching me from behind.”

A devil mind dark apparition laughed and said, “Hahaha, must be your imagination. This is our territory; who could spy on you here?”

The apparition controlling Moira added, “Brumberg, do you think that every bush and tree is an enemy after spending some time with the humans?”

“Ukpur, you’re too relaxed. You wouldn’t have been captured by humans if you were otherwise. You would still be inside that human laboratory if I hadn’t not rescued you.” Brumberg shook his head.

“I will definitely kill that human.” Ukpur’s face showed a contorted expression.

“By the way, have you obtained any information about that human? That arrogant fellow must be eradicated as soon as possible,” said another apparition.

“I have already reported it to Sir. His name will definitely be added on the must kill list,” said Brumberg with a cold gleam in his eyes.

“My strength will rise to a whole different level once I absorb the soul in this body. Then, I will occupy another powerful body. I must kill that human personally,” Ukpur declared.

“You got lucky. I didn’t expect that such a weak body would have such a powerful soul,” Brumberg said regretfully.

“Hahaha, it was a blessing in disguise.” Ukpur laughed.

“Speaking of which, we’ve been preparing for so long. When is Sir going to strike?” asked another apparition.

“The devil ovum was just retrieved, but its Origin has vanished. We have to replenish the ovum’s Origin if we want to attack,” Brumberg replied.

“The humans were too stupid to think that everything would be fine if they destroyed its Origin. Fortunately, they didn’t destroy the devil ovum itself.” Ukpur scoffed.

A devil mind dark apparition snorted coldly and said, “How could humans know the ovum’s secrets?”

“Forget it; let’s go. You’re right; why would anyone dare spy on us.” Brumberg shook his head and resumed his walk.

The figures slowly moved away.

“Must Kill List!” Wang Teng stood in the darkness, the shadows covering his face. There was a cold flicker in his eyes. “Humph! I will kill you all first.

“As to the devil ovum… It can actually be resurrected.”

He was shocked. There was a surge of killing intent; however, it was all restrained and concealed. Without revealing anything, he followed the path used by the apparitions to leave moments before.
