With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

When the three of them saw this, they couldn\'t help reveal looks of absolute terror as chills ran down their spines.

If it wasn\'t for Lin Fan that had come with them, then what most likely would have happened was…

After another long period of silence, Xiao Huo couldn\'t help asking, "But what do we do now?"

That was the key thing and the most important problem that they had to solve now.

After all, it was the Mercenary Guild\'s president that had sent them on this mission and the one that had arranged for this creature to be here. If they were to return and complete the mission, then…

The most likely outcome was that they would end up like everyone who tried to leave Brilliant Light City. The Mercenary Guild would send people to take care of them and they would end up dead anyway.

Lin Fan fell into deep thought for a bit before saying, "For now, we head back to the city and meet up with the owner of the bar. We\'ll see if he can do anything to help you."

Xiao Huo also became much more spirited after hearing this as he said, "Right, there\'s still uncle! Uncle will be able to help us!"

Lin Fan nodded before heading over to the corpse of the largest creature and leaning forward.

Xiao Huo saw this and couldn\'t help asking, "Big brother Lin, what are you doing?"

Lin Fan raised his hand which had a few of the creature\'s fingers that he had cut off. He said, "We need to bring something back to show people what happened here just in case, but we shouldn\'t take the full corpse or else it\'ll be too much trouble."

Xiao Huo was confused, but Lin Fan raised his hand to stop him from asking any further questions.

With how much Lin Fan had already shown, Xiao Huo just accepted this and went along with it.

After Lin Fan was done gathering evidence, he moved to the exit of the cave. But at this time, Yan\'er suddenly asked, "Big brother Lin, couldn\'t we help these people? Did they really have to die?"

Her words were like needles that poked into Lin Fan\'s heart.

He also wanted this to be the case, but he really didn\'t see a way…

So he said with a heavy heart, "I don\'t know. I just know that we did what we had to."

The three kids looked at his lonely back with complicated looks, but they didn\'t say anything in response to this. All they did was follow him out of the cave.

When they were out of the cave, Lin Fan once again suddenly turned around and suddenly created flames around himself.

The three kids were shocked to see this and immediately jumped back to avoid the flames. However, they were a bit too slow to react and they couldn\'t completely avoid the flames.

But when the flames touched them, they didn\'t feel any heat coming from it at all.

They couldn\'t help looking at Lin Fan with another shocked look as Xiao Huo asked, "Big brother Lin, what are you doing?"

Lin Fan said, "I\'m burning everything down to eliminate all traces of us being here."

The three kids no longer looked at Lin Fan with shocked looks since they had already been shocked enough today. They no longer had any emotions to react with to his actions anymore.

So with a single flick of his hand, the flames poured into the cave and started burning everything inside.

They had come up with the plan to block the entrance and burn everything inside earlier, but Lin Fan had given reasons as to why they shouldn\'t do it. However, that was only based on normal flames.

The flames that Lin Fan was currently using were his spiritual energy flames.

These flames were much hotter than just normal flames since they were condensed from his spiritual energy, so they were able to chew right through everything that had been in the cave. The blood on the ground instantly evaporated when it touched the flames and the bodies were turned to ashes like they never existed.

It didn\'t take long before everything in the cave had been burnt to nothing but a crisp.

As for why Lin Fan didn\'t do this before, naturally it was because he wanted to check on the creature that had been inside the cave. At the same time, he also didn\'t want to waste his spiritual energy since he wanted to deal with the creature in the cave.

Now that it was over, he didn\'t mind using this since he also wanted to burn away everything in the cave.

Once it was all burnt to a crisp, they quickly headed to their carriage that they had stashed on the side and headed back to the city.

…

In a dark room.

There was a sudden cracking sound as one of the jades on the wall suddenly broke.

The people in researcher clothes suddenly turned over when they heard this sound and were surprised to see that this jade was broken.

One of them took out something that looked like a chart from the side and started matching the jade on the wall to the information on the chart. After a while, they said, "It\'s test subject 65, the one…"

But before he could finish speaking, there were two more jades that suddenly shattered.

Both of these jades had been placed right beside the one that had shattered previously.

The researcher with the chart was about to look down and compare it to the chart, but another one of the researchers waved their hand and said, "Alright, stop. Forget it, we know what this is."

That researcher then turned to everyone else and asked, "What happened? Does anyone know why they suddenly died?"

With the way all the researchers acted when this person spoke, it was clear that this person was the lead researcher in this place.

All of the researchers turned their heads or looked down after hearing this. There wasn\'t a single one of them that dared to look this lead researcher in the eyes.

The lead researcher narrowed his eyes as they swept over them and there was a vein that popped out on his forehead. Seeing that no one was willing to speak, he slapped his hand down on the table to the side and roared, "Does no one know anything? What are we even paying you to do then!"

All of the researchers turned their heads away even further or lowered their heads even more when they heard this.

That was until one of the researchers suddenly remembered something.

"Ah, that\'s right, didn\'t we send another group of mercenaries there today? Did they have something to do with it?"

The lead researcher immediately turned in the direction of this researcher who spoke who immediately realized that he had made a mistake. But since the lead researcher was already looking in his direction and walking over, he had no other choice.

The researcher raised a folder that he had been holding and said, "We were supposed to get a new shipment of research material today since we sent a group of mercenaries to test subject 65. It\'s the Fire Thunder Goose group."

The lead researcher raised a brow when he heard this and he couldn\'t help saying, "What a childish name." Then he took the folder and read it over before knitting his brows.

He raised the folder he was holding and smacked the researcher on the head before shouting, "You really think that a bunch of kids can take down test subject 65 by themselves? These kids are only in the Third Qi Gathering Realm and test subject 65 was in the Sixth Qi Gathering Realm! You don\'t need a brain to understand that they have no chances of winning!"

The researcher covered his head, but he didn\'t dare stop the lead researcher from hitting him. As he covered his head, he said, "But there\'s no other possible explanation why test subject 65\'s life jade suddenly shattered…"

When the lead researcher heard this, he suddenly stopped slapping the folder on the researcher\'s head as he fell into deep thought. But after a moment of silence, he slapped the researcher on the head one more time before saying, "Get someone from the Mercenary Guild to check the area and find out what happened."

After another pause, he added, "While it should be impossible that these kids took care of test subject 65, we can\'t rule out this possibility."

Hearing this, all of the researchers let out a sigh of relief, but that relief quickly disappeared when they heard the lead researcher\'s next words.

"What are you idiots doing? Go and get me the data for the next experiment! You know how important this is and if we don\'t get it done, none of us will be able to keep our lives!" The lead researcher roared at them.

All of them gave gulps before quickly running off to do their different tasks.

After they were all gone, the lead researcher looked at the three shattered jades and then the folder in his hand before throwing the folder to the side. He said to himself with a sigh, "Forget it, this isn\'t important at all. The next experiment is the important one. If we finish this, all of our goals will be achieved."

As he said this, there was a faint sparkle that appeared in his eyes.
