Zhang Menglong's words sounded incredibly confident, but Gersa's heart was still filled with doubt.

He had personally faced those monsters in battle, and they had exchanged information and intelligence with other Heavenly Prides through equipment, naming those monsters Night Demons.

They exist only in dark areas and fear the light, so the name is quite fitting.

Firstly, Night Demons have a wide variety of life levels, with weaker ones at Divine Breath rank one or two, but stronger ones can reach Divine Cultivator levels. As for whether there are Night Demons at Dao Realm level, nobody knows since encountering one would almost certainly mean death.

Secondly, Night Demons may not be very strong, but they're incredibly fast. The most crucial aspect is that unless one has very special resistance, a mere scratch is fatal, with no alternative outcomes.

The most frustrating thing is that Night Demons in the night are almost impossible to kill! Two members of their team believed they had killed a Night Demon, but were attacked by revived ones. The only known method to eliminate them is to use light to irradiate them!

In such a situation, at night, Night Demons are nearly unbeatable, so the only strategy is to find a sufficiently sturdy refuge at night and pray to survive until the next Leon Lai.

Now Zhang Menglong tells him that this apparently modern city could become a survival base, which Gersa completely doesn't trust. Although the golden little sword was indeed powerful, it was merely a concentration of Sword Intent and Energy, and couldn't fundamentally eliminate them.

At night, the city would still turn into a Night Demons' carnival, everyone would face slaughter, and if there were enough people, it could become a banquet hall for Night Demons.

"It's getting dark! It's getting dark again!"

At that moment, frantic voices came from afar, from other youths who had come with Gersa.

Their previous place was barely concealed, and staying there would make them sitting ducks for the Night Demons. They couldn't guarantee not encountering any Night Demons at night with their current situation.

Apart from them, another group was also sprinting, finding comfort in numbers as everyone rushed toward the city.

"Oh, the long night is about to begin!" Zhang Menglong looked at the distant darkness, without a shred of worry or fear, standing in stark contrast to Gersa and the frantic crowd.

"He truly doesn't fear the night!" Gersa noticed Zhang Menglong's expression, showing genuine confidence rather than a forced calm.

"How about settling in?" Zhang Menglong smiled, "I'm not a Holy Mother, pay the fee and you're welcome in. If you can't pay, it won't matter to me if Night Demons tear you apart in front of me."

Gersa looked again at the city's direction and the approaching boundary, realizing that trusting Zhang Menglong was the only option.

"I want to check in, and for my companions too, just for a day, the cheapest room!"

"Alright!" Hearing Gersa wants to check in, Zhang Menglong's expression instantly became lively, "The cheapest room costs 5 million Divine Crystals a day, with your VIP card, it's only 500K. You have..."

"8 people," Gersa said, "I don't know the other group."

"That's a total of 40.5 million Divine Crystals, thank you for your patronage!"

40 million Divine Crystals weren't considered expensive for Gersa. This place was abundant in Energy, almost like a Divine Crystal manufacturing machine, refining tens of thousands of Divine Crystals a day wasn't difficult. Some with strong powers or advanced cultivation techniques could even make millions a day.

"It's sudden, I'll introduce our survival base operation later," Zhang Menglong said, "You can enter within the area bounded by the stone tablets, an absolute safe zone, outside of it, doesn't concern us."

"Brother Gersa?" The recently arrived companions were bewildered about the survival base, but recognized Zhang Menglong, indicating no conflict between him and Gersa.

"Would you like to check in?" Zhang Menglong held out a VIP card, "The first ten discovering our survival base get a 90% discount!"

The leader of the group was clearly dissatisfied with Zhang Menglong, "Gu Xiao, you think we're fools? You played us so badly, and now this trick? You dare call this small city a survival base, making fools out of us?"

"If that's what you think, there's nothing I can do!" Zhang Menglong shrugged, "Suit yourselves! But if any danger comes, don't blame me for not warning you!"

After the conversation, the night quickly enveloped them, making everything around invisible.

"There are Night Demons! I sense their presence!" A frantic voice echoed in the darkness, "They're coming!"

"Be careful everyone!" Gersa quickly prepared, refusing to place his team's safety on others despite Zhang Menglong's assurance.

"Don't panic," In the darkness, Zhang Menglong ignited a Strange Fire, revealing his presence, "As I said, since you've paid to enter the survival base, don't worry about the night's danger!"

Zhang Menglong snapped his fingers.

Instantly, a peculiar gemstone in the sky emitted dazzling light, a phantom of a Giant of Light appeared above the city, shining brighter than the first ray of world light, enveloping the city within the stone tablet boundary.

A young member of Gersa's team suddenly froze, as a Night Demon nearly scratched his cheek!

Once it touched the light, smoke billowed from the Night Demon, accompanied by its pitiful screams.

In that moment, the Night Demon lost its balance and fell, convulsing before being completely purified by the light.

"So, what do you think?" Zhang Menglong approached them, "Was the money well spent?"
