CHAPTER 295: CHAPTER 276: TRACKING AND EVADING

Amidst a cluster of densely packed buildings, two figures were cautiously weaving through the structures under the moonlight.

As the two traversed a long, narrow passage and entered one of the houses, a woman’s voice suddenly rang out:

"You seem to know this place very well?"

"How did you know there’s a secret passage here?"

"Does this secret passage lead directly to the teleportation array?"

"Why are you ignoring me? It feels like you really dislike me. Can I ask why?"

"Do you treat other girls like this too?"

"You..."

"Are you ever going to stop?"

Lin Yi suddenly turned his head to look at the chattering woman beside him, with a face full of impatience:

"From now on, unless I ask you, keep your mouth shut."

"You!"

Yuna glared at Lin Yi, but casually replied:

"There are no demons around here right now, and it’s nighttime. What are you afraid of?"

Lin Yi looked at the woman as if she were an idiot:

"The darkness is the domain of the Demon Race because there’s no light in the Abyss."

"It’s precisely because it’s nighttime that we need to be more careful."

Yuna widened her eyes, staring at Lin Yi:

"How do you know this? The authorities haven’t released detailed information about the Abyssal Demon Realm, right?"

To such skepticism, Lin Yi replied offhandedly:

"I don’t need to explain how I know, but if you want to keep following me, then shut up."

Although he wasn’t sure what that Demon General was planning.

But one thing was certain: that Demon General would definitely return.

Lin Yi couldn’t believe that the Demon Race, with their gluttonous nature, would let a prey go without care.

Previously, when it repelled those demon spirits, its intentions were already quite obvious.

Lin Yi had a premonition that when it appeared again, the situation would become even more perilous.

So what Lin Yi had to do now was to get as far away as possible while the opponent was returning.

In his thoughts, Lin Yi moved towards the short-distance teleportation array in the residential area, based on the image in his mind.

Even though he wasn’t too hopeful about this teleportation array, what if it worked?

The short-distance teleportation array in the residential area was located in a small plaza in the central area.

Lin Yi led Yuna through the buildings as much as possible, and fortunately, many of the structures here were internally connected.

He did this to minimize the risk of being discovered.

After all, in the midst of the night, we could only rely on the faint glimmer of the moonlight to see.

But as demons, they were unaffected by the darkness, or rather, they could see things more clearly in the dark than in the day.

Just like Lin Yi had said before, the night was where the Demon Race ruled.

Just as the two were passing through a house and were about to take a less than two-meter-long path to the house opposite.

Lin Yi had just poked his head out when he suddenly stopped and quickly pulled Yuna back from the doorway, whispering:

"Don’t speak."

Yuna was dragged back into the house by Lin Yi, and the two pressed themselves almost against the wall, their breathing reduced to a minimum.

At this moment, a heavy silence enveloped the surroundings, so quiet that they could even hear their own heartbeats.

A pair of beautiful eyes in the night, motionlessly staring at the distant face, which at any time appeared completely unperturbed, with eyes that shimmered.

Just then, a squad of demons walked past the house the two were hiding from, their heavy footsteps echoing.

Yuna looked at the man in amazement, trying to figure out how he knew the demons were coming by?

Moreover, this wasn’t the first time; several times before, she hadn’t noticed anything, yet he seemed like a Prophet, always avoiding danger in advance.

But Lin Yi had no intention of enlightening Yuna, instead softly saying:

"Let’s go."

For some reason, the activity of the surrounding demons seemed to be increasing.

As the two quickly crossed the street, Lin Yi’s brows furrowed as he watched the receding phantom of the equipment.

Although the darkness limited Lin Yi’s ability to see the distant demons clearly, his perception ability remained unaffected.

As long as the demons entered Lin Yi’s normal field of view, he could see their equipment’s shadow from afar.

This was why Yuna couldn’t perceive but Lin Yi could see them.

Lin Yi used this ability to evade the Demon Race’s patrols.

...

At this moment, in the spot where Yuna was initially discovered, Bachman was speaking with another large-bodied, wart-covered, hideous-faced Demon General with bat-like wings:

"This is where we discovered them, Demon General Cappello, it’s your turn now."

The Demon General leaned closer to sniff, showing a delighted expression on his grotesque face, saying:

"Such tender humans, ah~"

Upon hearing this, Bachman’s face darkened:

"Hurry up and do your job. Don’t let them run too far and be discovered by other Demon Generals, or there won’t be a share for us."

Hearing this, the Demon General named Cappello chuckled:

"They can’t escape; watch how I catch them."

Saying that, Cappello followed the scent, weaving through the buildings.

But in a small room, Cappello suddenly stopped, sniffing earnestly.

Bachman grew worried and asked:

"What’s wrong?"

Cappello’s ugly face suddenly lit up with excitement:

"Bachman, we’re in for a treat!"

Bachman’s eyes widened in excitement:

"How so?"

Cappello showed a sinister grin, saying:

"There are two different human scents here."

Bachman opened his mouth in surprise and then joined in the excitement:

"Demon General Cappello, quickly, find them for me, I can’t wait to enjoy their expressions of despair."

The ghastly Demon General Cappello immediately sniffed around, then headed in a direction, saying:

"They went this way."

"Follow me."

...

Unaware of the approaching danger, Lin Yi was cautiously avoiding the demon patrols that might appear in any corner at any time.

For some reason, as he got closer to the teleportation array, the demon activity seemed to intensify.

Under Lin Yi’s signals, Yuna and Lin Yi carefully hid behind a wooden house, leaning against the wall.

Soon, several demons walked by slowly, and the sound of their conversation drew the pair’s attention:

"The Demon Monarch’s appetite is growing; our food stores are dwindling, sigh."

"Precisely because of this, I’ve heard the three Demon Monarchs are planning to launch an attack on that region."

One of the demons laughed happily:

"Those despicable creatures were long overdue for death; they’re alive now only because of our Demon Monarch’s mercy."

"Indeed, indeed!"

As the two demons walked further away, their voices grew quieter.

At this point, Lin Yi heard them faintly saying:

"The Demon Monarch said he has a good appetite today, let’s choose that one..."

As the demons’ voices faded into the night, Lin Yi suddenly told Yuna:

"Follow them."

Yuna was shocked:

"What?"

...

Today’s update is complete.
