I Became the Demon King of Lust

When we arrived at the second safe zone, Tie Gang didn't give us even a second to rest as he immediately gave the order to set up camp.

This time, we weren't allowed to rest and all of us were called to help the supporters set up the camp.

Other than those that had to guard the area, everyone was else called to help.

It seemed like he really was worried about something with how he was acting.

But of course, it wasn't as if anyone would disobey his orders.

So with everyone working together, we had set up the camp in just an hour.

When the barriers went up, Tie Gang finally relaxed and allowed everyone to rest up.

But he made sure that there were always guards that were patrolling the area around the safe zone. This was completely different from the camp in the first safe zone which had a much more relaxed vibe to it.

It was almost as if he was running a strict military camp now.

However, once again, no one dared to go against him.

Everyone knew that Tie Gang would have his reason for doing this, so they didn't doubt him and just went along with what he was planning on doing.

But the mood of the camp wasn't good.

It seemed like everyone was nervous because of the way that Tie Gang was acting. They could tell that there was something wrong with this raid dungeon that he was acting this way.

If something was wrong with this dungeon, that meant that their lives were in danger…

So it was only natural they were nervous.

But at this point, it didn't matter what they felt.

Since they were trapped in this dungeon, they had to clear it or they wouldn't be able to leave.

So they just threw themselves into their work.

That was the same for us since we had no idea what was happening, we just did what we could to prepare for the fights that would come.

But there was a wrench thrown into that plan.

While we were setting up our tent, Tie Gang suddenly came in.

We were surprised to see him, but he just put a hand up to his mouth as if he was telling us to be silent before waving his hand at me, as if he wanted to talk to me.

I raised a brow since I was surprised by this sudden appearance, but I still followed him out of the tent.

The two of us made our way out of the camp and the safe zone, heading to an area that had no one else around. This was a place that should have been filled with monsters, but was currently barren since the monsters had wandered off.

After killing off the few monsters that were here, it was just the two of us left.

Tie Gang looked at me and I looked back at him.

In the end, I was the one that broke the silence, "Is something wrong that you needed to bring me all the way here?"

Tie Gang gave a nod before shaking his head, almost as if he was hesitating over something. It almost seemed as if…he didn't know what to say.

That was very worrying.

If even this A Ranker leader of our group didn't know what to say in this situation, it seemed that the situation was much worse than I had expected.

After another moment of silence, Tie Gang said, "I need your help, but this can't be known by anyone. That is why we had to get away from the camp, there were too many ears that could hear our talk."

I gave a slow nod, but I didn't say anything as I waited for him to explain.

Tie Gang took a deep breath and said, "We need to investigate the change with the dungeon, but we can't let anyone know about this. To achieve this, I need your and Long Shui Ling's help."

I was surprised to hear this.

It wasn't the part about Long Shui Ling that I was surprised by since I knew what he wanted from her. It was more the part about me that I was surprised by since it didn't feel like there was anything that I could do to help with this.

Seeing the look on my face, Tie Gang said, "You shouldn't underestimate yourself. I've seen what you can do and I know how strong your powers are. You're someone that can ignore ranks and buff people, I need a trump card like that if something goes wrong."

I looked at him in silence for a bit before slowly giving a nod.

I understood what he meant by this, but it must be very desperate if he was relying on this kind of power.

After all, once he used it, he would be incapacitated until he was healed up.

If he felt this worried, then whatever was in this dungeon must be very dangerous. Dangerous enough that he would even feel threatened by this.

If that was the case, it was better to go along with his plan since that would give us the greatest chance to survive.

After all, there was no one stronger than Tie Gang in our group.

If he went down, there was no way that we would be able to face the enemy that took him down.

Taking a deep breath, I said, "Alright, then how should we do this?"

Tie Gang revealed an appreciative smile before explaining his plan with a serious look, "When we get back to the camp, we'll need to…"

After he finished explaining, he didn't waste any time in bringing us back to the camp.

The longer that we were out alone, the more suspicion would be drawn.

So we split up as soon as we entered the camp again.

The rest of my group immediately swarmed me and asked me about what had happened, but it wasn't as if I could tell them anything.

Now, how should I explain this to Long Shui Ling?
