Chapter 180 Who exactly is chasing us?
Chen Dahai swallowed hard.
Suddenly, the red-eyed woman in front of me seemed incredibly tempting. Her face looked so delicate and translucent; I really wanted to take a bite.
The next second, Akame turned around and swung the large bow, which was already in motion, mercilessly striking his forehead and waking him up.
"I feel something's wrong. Is it some kind of illusion?"
"Who knows? Don't underestimate the supernatural powers of demonic beasts. Demonic beast, demonic beast, the key is demon, not beast."
Xuan Jing was completely unaffected. Although a person wearing full armor and a mask has a very poor ability to sense the outside world, it is not easy for the outside world to affect him.
"I suddenly feel quite hungry," Zhong Ming said, unaffected by the situation, his gaze fixed ahead. "Could it be some kind of demonic butterfly spreading poisonous powder?"
The map does not mark any flower fields, swamps, or other areas where scent attacks might be launched.
"Holy crap, run faster, run faster! The monsters are charging at us like madmen!"
"what?"
Xuan Jing's first thought was that my talisman was about to leave his beloved storage bag again.
Zhong Ming's first thought was, "Do we have something on us that attracts monsters?"
I sprayed myself with deodorizer before setting off, and the color of my clothes was fine. Could it be that I made too much noise? Or was I guided by some spiritual force?
"There's a fork in the road ahead, two paths leading to the same place. You turn right and I'll turn left, let's see which one they're after."
Zhong Ming was running through the forest, and his spiritual energy was being consumed very quickly. He needed to use the Mother-Child Sword to quickly split the hard tree thorns, which had already depleted 30% of his spiritual energy. He could no longer run around like this.
As soon as he reached the bend, he jumped up into a tree and threw several thorns into the path his comrades had taken after they passed by. Then he began leaping and darting through the trees.
Sure enough, most of the monsters headed towards Chen Dahai and his group.
Zhong Ming stroked his chin. It seems they're definitely not coming for me!
.....
Inside the pelican's large mouth, the Immortal Rat Taoist read the message in the transmission stone again. Young Master Yan wanted them dead, but then he said something about... the seed... once it was eaten, they could leave, and he could just follow them from a distance. He was completely baffled. The message didn't even explain what the seed looked like. What use was knowing just the name?
"Huh? Is one missing?" He listened carefully and realized that something seemed off about the commotion from the monster horde.
He immediately dispatched several flying demonic beasts to search close to the ground.
The Earth Escape Technique can't take you very far. How much skill can a Qi Refining stage cultivator possess? They're probably just hiding in some mountain hollow, activating an array plate to conceal their presence. Keep searching.
Zhong Ming jumped a few times and saw that the situation in the sky was very strange. The monsters below were running around like madmen, but those above were orderly and not fighting at all. They were searching in formation.
If you were a flock of geese flying by in formation, that would be one thing.
What are all those things? Pelicans, partridges, flying snakes, two-headed falcons...
Nobody believes those things can fly in a line.
The Demon Beast King isn't that smart.
Could it be... that humans are controlling it?
What is that? An enemy of the Chen Dynasty? Preparing to infiltrate here, trigger a beast tide, and wipe out the young recruits? The instructors outside are no pushovers.
Right, where are the instructors? Where are the supervisors? What could possibly stop them? It's impossible for a madman to openly storm the entrance to the secret realm with a large army to block the supervisors' support, just to kill new recruits, right? Wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?
Is this a test from the supervisors? Or is there a traitor within the dynasty?
Zhong Ming was unsure what to do, but the enemy's intelligent leader had changed, so dealing with humans certainly couldn't be the same as dealing with monsters.
Soon, Chen Dahai and his group took a slightly longer route and reunited with Zhong Ming.
"Ahead lies grassland terrain, stretching all the way to the lake. How's it going? Are the thrusters working?"
"It'll be almost over soon."
"In that case, I suspect that humans are controlling the monsters. You will follow my orders."
"Humans? Has the supervisor gone mad?" Chen Dahai was one of the soldiers who had blocked the warehouse door earlier. He had personally witnessed the veterans fight to the death. Who would risk the lives of veterans just to train new recruits?
In the lush jungle, amidst a bustling scene of countless animals running wild, Old Miao leisurely lay in the beak of a pelican, sipping wine and tearing apart dried fish.
He has one piece, and the pelican has one piece.
He was one piece, the pelican was one... and then suddenly turned.
With a "whoosh," an arrow flew past the pelican almost grazing its wing, startling the Immortal Rat Taoist.
What kind of strongman can bend a bow and shoot a giant eagle?
"Fly higher, fly higher quickly!" The Immortal Rat Taoist even threw a Gale Talisman downwards, which exploded after flying only a few meters, and a strong wind blew them upwards.
But Akame didn't just shoot arrows at the pelican; she shot at all the flying monsters, and the blue-feathered pelican reacted the most violently, making it highly suspicious.
As Zhong Ming ran, he patted the mining mole on the head and whispered, "Could you sneak into the group chasing us?"
The mining mole tilted its head, looking pitifully at Zhong Ming. (Boss, don't you want me anymore?) It immediately put down the spirit stone it had half-eaten. (Boss, I'll eat less, don't send me away.)
Zhong Ming didn't know how to communicate with the mining mole. Perhaps after seeing the vast lake, it knew that its leader was going to a dangerous place (for it) and couldn't take it with him.
Zhong Ming hung the image stone around the neck of the mining mole, then pre-infused it with spiritual power, setting it to a semi-activated state.
"If you see someone, bite this immediately." Zhong Ming wasn't sure if the mine mole understood; this was just one of his backup plans.
“We should get some corpses to confuse the enemy,” Zhong Ming sighed. “Fellow Daoist Chen, do you have any clothes left? Before we leave the forest, let’s make a few dummies.”
"Okay, I'll get right to it."
While enduring the "humiliation of crawling between the legs," Chen Dahai began to make straw men. Then, he took some fake blood from the large leather coat on the chubby Xuan Jing's body. Originally, this was part of the way to attract many beasts, and now he sprinkled it all on.
The skin was difficult to work on, so they made it bloody so that the monitors couldn't see clearly and had to come down to observe.
Zhong Ming wanted to find out whether those bastards wanted to kill them, take something from them, or capture someone.
"Everyone should contribute a set of clothes."
"Get ready to hide under the wheelchair and block the enemy's view from the sky. Crimson-Eyed Fairy, thank you for your hard work. You go first."
They deliberately slowed down, letting the fastest charging monsters get entangled with them.
Zhong Ming took a risky move, quickly killing a monster and stuffing its corpse into his storage bag.
After a familiar burst of smoke arrows, Akame let out a "piercing scream," and a dummy and a monster corpse rolled together on the ground.
The attack of the long arrows shot into the sky suddenly disappeared. Akame curled up and hid under the wheelchair. On a nearby tree, a bewildered mining mole was hanging.
