They had already planned it out, ready to seize the Elven World. Then, they would spread their evil through the Elven World to other worlds. This is indeed a serious issue!

Lisa said, "Everyone, follow me into the Teleportation Array. We'll teleport to the border near Caesar City and eliminate them together."

Just as Lisa was advancing, Jiang Chen flew out from the crowd, looking at her.

"Wait a moment," he said.

Lisa asked, "Who are you?"

"Jiang Chen, Swordsman Class."

The people below were shocked.

"What? Is that the youth from the Battle of Talent? The one who ranked first?"

"It's him! He looks so young and handsome!"

"I can't believe he's here too."

"There's no point in him being here. We're dealing with Parasitic Beasts, not ordinary Demonic Beings. These things are incredibly hard to detect."

"Does he actually have a suggestion?"

Lisa looked at Jiang Chen and nodded. "I've heard of you, Jiang Chen, a Swordsman from the Xileruo World who single-handedly annihilated a million warriors of the Underworld Clan. Thank you for coming to rescue the Elven World."

"No need for pleasantries," Jiang Chen replied. "I want to know if there are any of those so-called Parasitic Beasts among your people right now."

"Of course not. To prevent Parasitic Beasts from infiltrating our ranks, we check everyone daily."

"How do you check?"

Lisa took out a small knife and cut her palm. Drops of blood fell from her hand to the ground. The red liquid lay there, showing no abnormalities.

Jiang Chen smiled. "What about the people around you? You have several thousand Elf Heroes with you. Have they all been checked?"

Lisa frowned deeply. She didn't understand what Jiang Chen meant. Was he suggesting there were Parasitic Beasts among her entourage? That's impossible! They ran checks every time. It couldn't be that easy for Parasitic Beasts to infest them.

Lisa nodded. "Yes, they have all been checked."

"I don't believe it."

"Then what will make you believe?"

"Make them all do as you did: cut open their palms. You just said they are exactly like you, except for the lack of what you call a smile. Ordinary people find it hard to tell the difference."

"You don't trust them?" Lisa asked.

"Yes, I don't trust them."

Lisa looked at her thousands of Elf Heroes and called out loudly, "To prove your innocence, I ask all Heroes to cut open your palms!"

Thousands of Elf Heroes drew their Short Swords and sliced open their palms.

Blood dripped, drop by drop.

None of them showed any abnormality.

Lisa, clearly dissatisfied with Jiang Chen, asked, "Is this satisfactory now?"

"No. Your Guards remain."

Lisa retorted angrily, "Are you here to help or to sabotage? I suspect you're the one infested by a Parasitic Beast!"

Jiang Chen laughed heartily. "Why are you so angry? Just have them try it. Of course, if I'm wrong, I'll apologize to you in person."

Lisa snorted coldly, turned to The Guards, and said, "Cut open your palms. Show them."

About a dozen Guards swiftly drew their Short Swords. They sliced open their palms. All eyes were fixed on them; these individuals displayed no abnormalities.

"See? Nothing!"

"Jiang Chen, your concerns are superfluous."

"What is he really trying to do?"

"There's nothing unusual there. They're definitely not infested by Parasitic Beasts."

"There can't be that many Parasitic Beasts around."

Lisa looked at Jiang Chen. "No need to apologize. I hope you can exert your greatest strength and help the Elven World drive out the Parasitic Beasts."

Jiang Chen eyed three of The Guards.

Something's not right. They're clearly different. Why did their blood show no changes? Could it be an illusion? No…

Upon closer perception, Jiang Chen realized they hadn't actually cut themselves. The blood from their "wounds" wasn't their own; it was someone else's. They had been prepared.

Jiang Chen approached Lisa, stepped onto the platform, and focused on one of The Guards. Then, under everyone's gaze, he drew his sword and swiftly severed the Elf Hero's arm.

Lisa was furious. "What are you doing—?!"

At that moment, the severed arm of the Elf Hero began to wriggle. It quickly reattached itself to the stump. Countless people witnessed this.

They were dumbfounded.

A sudden uproar went through the crowd.

"He's a Parasitic Beast! He's infested! He's not of the Elf Race!"

"How is this possible? Weren't they just verified? Was the verification process flawed?"

"That's definitely not an Elf! The Elf Race doesn't have such an ability!"

"He actually infiltrated The Guards!"

"It's strange... How did Jiang Chen discover it?"

Lisa was stunned. She looked at the Elf Archer, never having imagined a Parasitic Beast was right beside her. As the Elf tried to flee, Jiang Chen drew his sword and cleaved the escaping creature in two.

Lisa asked, "How did you discover it?"

"I'll answer your question in a moment."

Jiang Chen looked at the other two suspects and smiled. "Well? Still hiding? I just killed your teammate."

The two Archers instantly erupted, firing an arrow straight at Jiang Chen.

But as they drew their bows, Jiang Chen moved with lightning speed, killing them both. It happened so fast the onlookers barely had time to react.

A mass of flesh writhed on the ground. A small, white worm appeared on one of the skulls.

Lisa stared at the two corpses. Two more? This…

Jiang Chen said, "Your so-called inspection is utterly inadequate. They clearly knew your methods and found an opportunity to infiltrate your ranks."

Lisa couldn't believe it. "How did you find out?"

"They hid well, but I could still spot them."

"But they cut their palms earlier!"

"No, they didn't cut their palms at all. They used blood prepared in advance, making you believe they had. And their deception wasn't obvious."

Jiang Chen walked to an iron cage. He plucked a strand of hair, and it began to wriggle in his hand. "The best way is to pull out one of their hairs and see if it changes."

Jiang Chen then asked, "How many Parasitic Beasts are there in total?"

"Roughly several million."

What in the world? Several million? How are we supposed to deal with that?!

Jiang Chen continued, "If there are that many, then large-scale battles are pointless. Once warriors get close to each other, it's impossible to tell if the person opposite is friend or foe. In a large battle, it's not about one-on-one duels; it's a collective assault. The enemy looks just like us, so no one can know who is an enemy. You can't exactly stop on the battlefield to pluck a hair, can you? Therefore, attacking their cities is meaningless. They can easily blend into our ranks and create chaos. Forget ten cities; we'd be helpless even against a hundred."

Jiang Chen continued, "Moreover, if they can infiltrate your squad and even become part of The Guards, they could also be in other units. You should contact the other teams immediately and see if anything's amiss."

Lisa's expression changed drastically. She instantly took out a Rune to make contact, relaying everything that had just happened to her brothers and sisters to prevent infiltrators from causing chaos among their ranks.
