The Legend of the Devil
Ch. 66 - A Mission and an Abandoned Castle
Two months passed so quickly. In a vast wilderness full of peril on the border of Diqiu Empire and Feng Empire, a group of young men were dashing about while cursing at each other. You could say there was no teamwork at all from them and everyone blamed each other.
A giant palm smashed one tree in one hit, a stealth lizard that was the size of the yard of the house let out a loud hissing sound. Marking his anger when his territory was violated. Again the most handsome young man screeched like a woman, "Momuu! Save me!"
"This tacky devil, you said the lizard wasn't going to attack while we were crouching!" jiazhen Yan exclaimed as he unleashed a mindless attack on the demon, instead inviting his anger and triggering a counterattack.
One bolt of lightning burned the scorched ground that Xiao Rong - the leader of the mission group - had originally fired, he sighed repeatedly while refuting.
"Xue Zhan is right. You're wrong, Young Master Jiazhen, you're squatting while hitting his son's egg. How can he not go berserk?"
"I don't-"
A huge tail flashed before their eyes all of a sudden, it was another lizard demon. He was male and bigger than the previous lizard. The four of them stopped staring up in fear, the lizard's body covering the sun creating a dark shadow that covered their bodies. While behind the female lizard screamed shrillly, calling out to her other herd.
"Campus."
Now three lizards have surrounded all four. Xiao Rong, Xue Zhan, Xian Shen and Jiazhen Yan clenched their backs while whispering to each other. At a time like this they only had one hope; xue Zhan found a way out by racking his brain.
"My friend, do you have a plan B?" xian Shen's voice was so desperate.
"There's."
The three of them were slightly calmer than before, until Xue Zhan said carefully.
"His Plan B is in the count of three ...."
They are getting ready to listen.
"Three ... Two ...."
They lowered their heads as the three lizards began to ferociously attack.
"One-one! Lari!!!"
"H-huh? Wh-what?! Run?!"
"Cialaaan!"
"Oi, wait for me!"
Xue Zhan did not care, a huge shock began to strike behind him and coincidentally this time Xiao Rong was at the very rear becoming the moons of three starving lizards in the wilderness named the Cursed Demon Forest. That place had long been untouched by humans due to the vastness of the Feng Empire with fewer inhabitants. They were just left alive.
But lately there was news that a prominent noble princess in Feng Empire committed suicide by fleeing into the forest. Both of his parents would pay as much to save their daughter but not many Feng Empire warriors would accept the mission.
Xiao Rong, who was appointed by Emperor Li to form a search party, pointed to the names as well as his eyes, thinking that the four of them were capable of survival and had their own advantages. But the estimate is wrong. The three friends now turned into three big babies who screamed at the cockroach.
"How do we deal with those three demons?!"
The voice that had been hoarse due to the half full day of screaming came from Xian Shen, he coughed violently. Xue Zhan who saw the demon started to move away took the river path for and pulled over to the other side. He went into the lush forest, looking at the tip of the stealth head and tail that was still visible from a distance.
"Scream class disguise: Fused with the Bushes."
The three of them went down in the weeds, feeling that this stupid idea might be the only hope to survive.
It's critical. It had been three days since, there were no traces or clues, the food stock had started to run out and some of the Demons in this forest were increasingly aggressively smelling their odors.
"Oi, oi, I used to study in college never been taught about this rotten disguise." Jiazhen Yan still continues to curse. He could have fought, but if there was more than one demon, he might have turned into the filth of that thing.
"Look at this demon, his life on the edge of the horn is still a lot of protest. Try to get out of these bushes, you can fall over and die at any time. Five hours ago we kept running and didn't have time to think. It's time to think of a way."
Xiao Rong took out something, a hairpick with a small wooden box hanger as an omen of the Wen clan. It was unmistakable, that person was the one they were looking for. yet Xiao Rong still did not explain what he had obtained.
"When we were being chased earlier, I got this dropped. Unfortunately we keep spinning and being chased nonstop, my focus is split and inevitably have to avoid the demon in order to survive. Now I don't know where I found it ... After all, the area is heavily guarded by the three lizards."
He looked worriedly. Feeling will not be safe if you do the desperate.
"If you think about it too ... The four of us are almost dead made the lizard. A girl walked into this forest alone, her chances of survival were only ten percent."
Jiazhen Yan interrupted, "No. Zero percent."
They were silent when they heard the sound of the wind blowing so strangely. Xue Zhan raised a hand while whispering, "he still has a chance of survival."
Xue Zhan smelled a faint scent of blood, not the blood of his three companions. By squatting the young man followed the trail of the blood beam, the further the blood got. It looks like the girl was seriously injured. Looking at the bloodstain itself it was possible that the girl had already been injured since two to three days ago. The stain of the traces of blood disappeared, like the girl had suddenly vanished from there. Xue Zhan thought hard.
Between the girls was swallowed something gigantic - but it was impossible because the surrounding forest was not damaged. Or indeed the girl had deliberately removed her tracks, that also sounded impossible. But to be sure, after smelling closer the scent of blood that Xue Zhan could faintly smell the same scent of blood and started to follow him.
Their steps had been held back several times when passing through a horde of other demons that ruled in that place.
The journey leads them to something unreasonable in the wasted wilderness. Never imagined at all in a dangerous place full of scary demons stood a giant castle like in a fairy tale, a spacious courtyard with a pond and apple trees then colorful flowers that propagate up to the castle walls. It has long been abandoned but remains beautifully shrouded in mystery.
Xiao Rong stared at the others asking for an opinion and they all nodded.
"We go inside."
