“Go to hell, all of you go to hell!” Jin Minjun roared angrily, his Violent Dragon continuously breathing fire from its mouth.

The flames were as big as drums, coalescing into a fiery orb that would explode upon touching the mountain walls and the ground, sweeping out a stronger blaze in all directions.

Jin Minjun vented his fury on the Human-faced Rats. He wouldn't spare any that he could see.

“Senior Brother Jin, calm down, if this goes on we'll all be buried in a sea of fire,” Zhu Minglang sighed.

“You guys go, I must burn this place to ashes. I won't let go of any of these harmful beasts!” Jin Minjun said.

“Senior Brother Jin…” Lu Xiaoyao wanted to comfort him.

Zhu Minglang glanced at the few junior sisters who were somewhat injured. Apart from Chu Yanyan who was still on the upper level, they were indeed missing one.

It was Junior Sister Yang.

While Zhu Minglang was dealing with the Night Vine Ratwolf Demon, Jin Minjun had gone deeper into the sinkhole.

But soon, Jin Minjun was slaughtering the Human-faced Rats with his Violent Dragon like a madman. The fire started at the bottom of the fault, and heavy smoke suffocated the Human-faced Rats hidden in the caverns of the fault, driving them all out.

The exit was right where the Dark Cang Violent Dragon had fallen. Big Black Tooth and the Violent Dragon had killed about ten Human-faced Rats in the lower levels.

Still, this could not quell Jin Minjun's raging fire.

After all, when he found Junior Sister Yang, her chest and abdomen had been torn open with a bloody hole, and all her internal organs had been dug out and eaten.

Anyone would go mad at such a sight.

Fire was indeed the way to kill all the Human-faced Rats hiding in the night vine and fault, but Jin Minjun was still too reckless.

They should have waited for the others to leave the hollowed-out jungle first. They could have spread out to guard the exits where the Human-faced Rats might flee, and then let the Violent Dragon make a fiery assault to ensure that not a single Human-faced Rat could escape!

“Bai Qi, go watch from above,” Zhu Minglang said.

As long as the Cannibal Monsters weren't eradicated, there would be endless future trouble. Zhu Minglang and Jin Minjun shared the same thought; they had to eliminate all the Human-faced Rats.

Big Black Tooth and the Violent Dragon blocked the bottom of the fault, and the fire was allowed to spread up through the middle of the hollowed-out jungle. This should also be enough to catch all the Human-faced Rats in one fell swoop.

“As long as we're careful not to fall into any traps,” Chu Yanyan said in a low voice, tears brimming in her eyes.

These Human-faced Rats couldn't contend with their dragons. If they had just surveyed the surroundings from the start, they could have killed all the Cannibal Monsters without any harm using the method they were now employing. Even if the Demon Spirit emerged, they had enough people to deal with it.

“No matter what, we've also eliminated a demon. Had we let that cannibalistic demon be, there's no telling how many more families would have been wiped out, ” Zhu Minglang consoled his junior sisters.

The junior sisters fell silent. Looking at the roaring fire in the hollowed-out jungle, they could only find solace in Zhu Minglang's words for the moment.

Upon returning to Dwarf Mountain City, we reported the incidents involving the Human-faced Rat and Rat-wolf Demon to the academy.

Shortly after, an older teacher came forward; he was actually on his way to another city where, it seemed, students had also fallen victim to the claws of Cannibal Monsters.

From the day we set out, every teacher had warned the students that this monster-hunting quest was fraught with dangers, and that we should not act

recklessly.

“To have encountered a Demon Spirit and still be alive is a stroke of great fortune,” sighed the older teacher, as if talking to himself, but also to comfort us, “There are reports from further north that a teacher didn't survive the clutches of the Demon Spirit Blood.”

“Teacher, we have personally escorted Junior Sister Yang's body back to the academy,” Jin Minjun said.

“Hmm, you have indeed performed a great service, bringing a measure of peace back to Dwarf Mountain City. Go back, ” nodded the older teacher, aware of the students' despondency and grief over Junior Sister Yang's death.

“What about you, Junior Zhu?” Chu Yanyan asked.

Zhu Minglang shook his head and replied, “I plan to continue northward. After all, I still have a friend to escort.

“But it's dangerous to go alone, and besides, you won't earn any academic credit for acting alone, ” Chu Yanyan expressed her concern.

“Killing monsters is about eliminating harm for the people, what does academic credit matter in the face of that?” Zhu Minglang said with a broad-mindedness.

“Well spoken! With that attitude, I will also explain the situation to the higher-ups at the academy on your behalf,” said the older teacher.

“Junior Zhu, I'm sorry. We really shouldn't have withdrawn halfway, but this has been too much of a shock for us…” Jin Minjun continued to apologize to Zhu Minglang, feeling even more ashamed.

Jin Minjun initially shared Zhu Minglang's goal of obtaining the Spiritual Realm Fruit, but following these events, he realized he still had much to improve. Before he could enhance his own abilities, he didn't dare to risk the safety of his junior sisters.

“I understand. Go back, and don't be too upset or blame yourselves,” Zhu Minglang told them.

“Speaking of which, I've heard Bai Yishu mention you. Your strength is comparable to some instructors. Since you won't receive any student rewards for acting alone, why not take my place and go to Clear Water River City? The academy offers very generous rewards to teachers,” said the older teacher.

This senior teacher still had to head north; he couldn't neglect his duties when there were student casualties, but Clear Water River City also required the help of a Dragon General Level Dragon Trainer. Thinking it over, it made sense to involve a strong student like Zhu Minglang in the instructors' monster-slaying operations.

His solo defeat of a Thousand Year Demon Spirit naturally proved his strength.

“That's even better,” Zhu Minglang nodded repeatedly.

“Even when working with teachers, don't be careless. If you are assisting against a Cannibal Demon Spirit that is older than three thousand years, you mustn't act recklessly. Inform the overseer of Red Lotus City at the first sign of danger, and let her handle it. Understand?” the older teacher specifically instructed.

“I understand,” Zhu Minglang replied.

Seeing that Zhu Minglang didn't have to act alone anymore, Chu Yanyan, Jin Minjun, and others breathed a sigh of relief. Chu Yanyan had been considering whether to stay behind. Even if she couldn't assist Zhu Minglang, she didn't want him to lose academic credit due to the pressure of academy rules.

After saying goodbye to Zhu Minglang, Jin Minjun, Chu Yanyan, Lu Xiaoyao, and the others took Junior Sister Yang's body back to the academy. Zhu Minglang didn't rush to Clear Water River City, as Zheng Yu was still in the mountains fighting bandits and hadn't returned. Worried, Zhu Minglang decided to check their route for any signs of them.

Just as he reached the city gate, a troop of soldiers, weary from travel, returned. Riding a brown horse at the lead was Zheng Yu, who had the air of a delicate scholar..
