Chapter 2561: Chapter 2562: Using Flying Demons
The things acquired from the mission might not even compare to the benefits they could gain by staying with Lin Caisang’s group.
Therefore, no matter what his own team said, he was not going to leave Lin Caisang and their group.
Upon hearing Captain Liu’s words, Lu Tianfeng, who had been quietly monitoring the situation and even secretly instructing his subordinates to stir up discontent among a few members, had a flicker in his eyes.
Naturally, he hoped their team could leave those two groups, giving him an opportunity to take action.
But this Captain Liu, stubbornly refused! It seemed that this person indeed had quite some luck, choosing life over death without even realizing it.
He took a deep breath, gritting his teeth silently.
"Captain, can’t we leave first?"
A subordinate, seeing Lu Tianfeng so frustrated that he couldn’t speak, spoke again, looking at Captain Liu.
"Look at those people, limping as they walk, all injured. How long will it take us to travel with them? And that Captain Lin, they clearly have flying demons.
Such large flying demons, not just a whole group, even three groups of people could fit on them.
Yet, she insists on not using them and makes us walk. What’s going on?"
He slightly turned his gaze, casting a glance at Lin Caisang’s team, who were preparing to light a fire for cooking, and spoke to Captain Liu with a feigned look of anger.
"This..."
Captain Liu was at a loss for words.
Yes, Lin Caisang indeed had two flying demons, and they had seen how massive they were before.
Forget about carrying twenty-one people; they could easily carry twice that number.
Yet, Lin Caisang just wouldn’t let the mounts out and opted to walk slowly toward the rendezvous point.
How long would that take?
"Captain, why don’t you ask Captain Lin if they could let us use the flying demons to take us all to the gathering point?" a subordinate suggested.
"Yeah, Captain, we might as well talk to Captain Lin. Using the flying demons would get us to the rendezvous quickly!"
"Maybe when we get to the rendezvous, none of the other teams will have arrived yet."
Hearing the subordinate’s suggestion, several others also brightened up, thinking it was a great idea.
Captain Liu: "..."
Is it so easy to let strangers on a flying demon?
Demons have more pride than humans; even if commanded by their master, they would only allow familiar people to ride them. As for strangers, it’s simply impossible!
He didn’t have the nerve to ask Lin Caisang about this matter.
"There’s no need for you all to say anything. Do you think you’re that familiar with them to have them use their flying demons to carry you?" Captain Liu gave them a sideways glance.
"Those are flying demons!"
"So what now?"
Upon hearing his words, a few of them looked dejected.
"Why don’t we just go ahead?" someone suggested again.
"Fine."
Captain Liu looked at the person who made the suggestion with a sarcastic smile.
"Whoever wants to leave, just go. I’ll stick with their group."
He had already made up his mind that the next time Lin Caisang’s group battled demons, he would step forward to help and get whatever he deserved.
