Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Cheng Zicheng had been paying attention to the situation on the other side and had not reported any encounters with powerful Demon Beasts.

And the strength of the Demon Beasts was at most Ninth Stage. Moreover, a ninth-level Beast King would not appear on the outskirts of the Jiali Mountain Ranges. Even if there were any, with the Eighth-Stage Strength of the Golden Lion Dog with the golden bloodline, plus the whole team, facing a Ninth-Stage Beast King, retreating unscathed wouldn\'t be a big issue. This was also why they didn\'t have a teacher accompany them on that side—it simply wasn\'t necessary for such a level of experience!

If it wasn\'t the threat from a Demon Beast, then it naturally had to be a human-caused disaster or perhaps a Monster-caused one. The greatest possibility was that it would arise within their team. There was no movement during the day which meant the problem was likely to occur at night. And it should be tonight!

With this thought, Tang San subconsciously clenched his fists. No matter what, he had to ensure Pretty Girl\'s safety. In a critical moment, even if it meant using that bit of his divine consciousness, he would not hesitate.

At the same time, Tang San was gaining a newer understanding of his Heavenly Fox Transformation. Merely a premonition of danger allowed him to deduce so much. Although not necessarily entirely correct, the general scope was likely not far off.

However, what somewhat reassured him was that although he was restless, the sense of crisis was not too strong. This meant that the danger was not that great.

It was soon evening, and they were still resting in sync with the Beauty and Beast Squad on the other side, maintaining a distance of five to six kilometers between them.

After dinner, Tang San once again quietly left the team under the pretext of scouting the situation, approaching the Beauty and Beast Squad\'s side again.

With yesterday\'s observation, he was even more cautious today, especially paying close attention to whether there was the presence of the other side\'s scout in the darkness. He also stopped a bit farther away. Watching from a distance.

Tonight, the Beauty and Beast Squad chose a relatively higher terrain for their campsite. Tents were already erected, and the blazing campfire brought light and warmth to the night.

A grill was set up over the fire, cooking Demon Beast Meat. Occasionally, the dripping fat would sizzle.

The Golden Lion Dog, Pretty Girl, and the other Monster students were all beside the campfire, waiting for their dinner.

Only when he saw Pretty Girl with his own eyes could Tang San breathe a slight sigh of relief. It was good that she was fine. However, his unease also intensified as he approached the Beauty and Beast Squad, further confirming that the danger might arise from their squad.

Where exactly did the danger come from, internally or externally? Based on Tang San\'s current judgment, as well as the calculated strength of this squad, the likelihood of an internal issue was relatively higher.

While silently observing from the shadows, Tang San was also adjusting his own condition. He quietly donned the Black Gold mask that covered the upper half of his face and checked his hidden weapons. As he restrained his breath, he tuned his spirit, essence and energy to their prime.

The aroma of the Demon Beast Meat gradually became enticing, to the point that Tang San could clearly smell it on his side. The Redemption Team dared not openly roast meat like that, which was too risky for exposing themselves. One reason was that their identity as redeemers might be discovered by the Monster Clan, and also, they did not have the confidence to face all Demon Beasts. If they roasted meat so brazenly, the Elder teacher would probably come over and slap them away instantly.

Tang San did not know where Zhang Haoxuan was. He should be following them at an appropriate distance, even possibly observing from not far behind him at this very moment. This was Tang San\'s confidence, having a Ninth-Stage expert behind him. In the event of facing a danger he could not confront, the Elder teacher would support him. He would not easily reveal that bit of his divine consciousness unless absolutely necessary.

The Demon Beast Meat was ready, and Monster students from the Beauty and Beast Squad sprinkled seasonings on it, then used knives to cut and share the meat.

Such a method of barbecuing was naturally looked down upon by Tang San. Some areas were burnt, and if it hadn\'t been for the Demon Beast Meat\'s own richness in fat, the meat might have been too tough to chew.

"Such good ingredients, what a waste of heaven\'s gifts!"

In Tang San\'s view, this world simply didn\'t know what gourmet food was, and while he was capable of cooking gourmet dishes, the opportunity to showcase that skill hadn\'t arisen yet. Nor did he put much thought into pursuing culinary creations.

Pretty Girl had only eaten a small piece of meat and didn\'t eat much more, sticking to the drink she had brought with her, milk tea? Very likely. However, by the look of it, she didn\'t seem inclined to share with anyone else.

The other Monster students devoured their food voraciously, polishing off a Demon Beast in no time with their enormous appetites.

Still no change, everything as usual. Yet, a sense of unease lingered constantly in Tang San\'s mind. What kind of incident was about to happen?

"The smell of Demon Beast Meat can be detected from far away. You seem to be living quite comfortably during your training days!" A somewhat sinister voice suddenly emerged. The eerie voice seemed to come from all directions, echoing through the woods and sending chills down one\'s spine.

This wasn\'t from within the team; it was indeed an external threat. Whose voice was it?

Despite Tang San\'s Spiritual Power and the observational capability of the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, he hadn\'t noticed anything before the voice appeared.

The next moment, he saw several figures descending from the sky, and as they neared the campfire of the Beauty and Beast Squad, their bodies were highlighted with a kaleidoscope of colors. It was quite bizarre.

Those were clearly tails made of Peacock feathers, fanning out behind them, and they suddenly spread open, appearing exceptionally dazzling under the reflection of the campfire\'s light.

Peacock spread! The Peacock Demon Clan.

There were five figures in total descending from the sky, four with tails of Peacock feathers, but the one in the center had none and seemed to be in human form.

He was tall and straight, also quite handsome, appearing to be in his twenties, only his complexion was a bit pale and his lips thin.

Accompanying the voice and this person\'s arrival, creatures like the Golden Lion Dog of the Monster Academy were all shocked and had already stood up, and Pretty Girl also frowned deeply.

The young man in his twenties smiled slightly and said, "My dear younger sister, hearing that you were out on training, your brother has come to see you. Aren\'t you touched?"

Pretty Girl responded indifferently, "I don\'t have a brother."

The young man sneered, "Of course, you don\'t. What right does a mixed-blood like you have to possess the noble Great Peacock Demon Emperor Bloodline. Just come with me, let\'s not make this difficult."

"Wang Yan, what do you mean?" The Golden Lion Dog stepped forward to stand in front of Pretty Girl, challenging the newcomer.

"Don\'t be nosy, little lion, this is an internal family affair, it has nothing to do with you. You\'re not qualified to play the hero," others might fear the Golden Family, but the Peacock Demon Clan with their Demon Emperor heritage wouldn\'t care in the slightest.

Song Junhou spoke coldly, "Do you realize what you\'re doing? You may be the City Lord\'s son, but Jiali Academy is under the protection of the Ancestral Court. If you dare to lay a hand on us and we report it to the Ancestral Court, you\'ll get more trouble than you can handle."
