Chapter 193 Searching for the Abyss with Remaining Bones (Part 4)

Are you going to ask him about the shift schedule too?

The thought flashed through Yuan Wu's mind like lightning. After suppressing it for the time being, he called out to let Ying Lang come in.

Ying Lang lifted the curtain and entered the tent, deliberately lowering his voice as he said, "Boss, how about we abuse our power for personal gain?"

He waved the bag of dried meat he was using as a bribe.

A strange look appeared in Yuanwu's eyes: "What personal gain are you planning?"

Ying Lang coughed lightly: "Let Xiao Feng and I keep watch for the first half of the night. It's the first time that kid has been on a mission for so long, he's homesick. I saw him just now, he looked so dejected."

“It’s not convenient to have a lively gathering outside. Everyone needs to rest and recharge. I thought I’d take advantage of the night watch to have a good talk with him and offer some comfort.”

Yuanwu decided: "Okay, I'll put you all together."

Then add a yuan.

Three demons are just right.

Fortunately, Pingfeng is here. He's young and good at getting information out of people, so tomorrow he can find out about Yuanjin and Yinglang from Pingfeng.

Now Yuan Jin's request has been met, truly befitting his position as Commander Yuanwu.

As night fell, the campfire in the open space in the middle of the camp had almost gone out, with only a few embers flickering.

The three demons, who were assigned to keep watch, sat around the campfire in an eerie silence.

Pingfeng, sitting in the middle, was particularly restless.

What sins did he commit to sit between Sister Jin and Deputy Commander Ying? Is the Commander asking him to cooperate with Sister Jin to deal with Brother Lang, or to help Brother Lang protect his virginity?

He just can't figure it out!

"Hmm? Good evening." The voice came from outside the camp.

A sudden sound broke the silence, startling Ping Feng awake. He looked up and asked, "What demon?"

He looked around, and both Sister Jin and Brother Lang remained calm and composed.

Following that voice, two demons stepped forward: Su Yu and Feng Huaijin.

After setting up their tents, the two of them ventured into other areas of the Poisonous Gas Forest to explore. They also collected many unique magical plants found in the area and enjoyed the world of two demons in the forest until Su Yu felt she wanted to rest. Only then did they leisurely stroll back.

When she returned, it was completely dark. She bumped into the Night Watchman of the Mo Hai Mercenary Group and politely greeted him with "Good evening."

The young demon sitting in the middle looked quite frightened.

After the long silence, Yuan Jin was already sleepy. She spoke bluntly, still half asleep: "You two shouldn't be so quiet next time. Xiao Feng almost thought there was an enemy attack."

Su Yu readily agreed with a "okay," glanced at the campfire that had been extinguished but was still smoldering, said "goodnight," and then took her leave, returning to her tent with Feng Huaijin.

After the two demons left, Yuan Jin said, "Ying Lang, I need to take a nap. Come here and lean on me."

Ying Lang silently got up and changed positions. Now Yuan Jin was in the middle, but Ying Lang was closer to her.

Ping Feng tactfully shrank to the side, minimizing his presence.

He found that he didn't seem to miss home as much anymore. He decided to hang in there a little longer, watch the complete love story of Sister Jin and Brother Lang, and then go home to broadcast it.

On the other side, Su Yu and Feng Huaijin entered the tent, but did not immediately prepare to tidy up and go to sleep.

Feng Huaijin put his arm around Su Yu, rested his chin on Su Yu's shoulder, and silently transmitted his voice:

Su Yu leaned back casually, nestling into Feng Huaijin's chest.

They were the only demons in their group along the way. If there was a problem with the campfire, it was either because the firewood they had gathered was faulty or because there was a traitor in the group.

Normally, if she encountered any trouble on the road, it would be good to stretch her muscles and bones, but after just returning from a trip through the poisonous gas forest tonight, Su Yu didn't really feel like moving.

Feng Huaijin lowered his head and rubbed his nose against it:

So Su Yu simply closed her eyes to rest.

I don’t know when it started, but Feng Shier has become this reliable person.

...except when they're jealous or trying to climb into each other's bed.

Feng Huaijin is especially untrustworthy at times like this.

Su Yu's mind wandered for a while, but her body honestly relaxed, and her breathing gradually became calm.

Feng Huaijin remained holding Su Yu in the same position for a while before carefully changing him to a more comfortable position so as not to disturb the demon.

Then he lay half-reclined on the bed, his arm around Su Yu, his eyes lowered as he gazed at her, and remained motionless like a statue.

Although his gaze was fixed on Su Yu, it was gentle and peaceful. He simply watched silently, without any overly intense or burning presence, so it didn't arouse Su Yu's subconscious vigilance or make it difficult for her to fall asleep.

From this perspective, he is still able to restrain himself.

In the dead of night, the only sounds in the forest were the rustling of grass and leaves swaying in the wind and rain, and there were no sounds of poisonous creatures moving about in the rain.

Suddenly, the sounds of fighting arose outside the camp.

"Enemy attack! Come quick!!"

Feng Huaijin frowned, immediately covered Su Yu's ears with both hands, set up a small silencing array around him, and then let go to let Su Yu lie down.

He went outside to check the situation himself.

Actually, he didn't really want to go out, and even disliked the noise outside disturbing him and his brother, but he had told his brother earlier that he could leave it to him, so naturally he couldn't just stand by and let things develop.

Outside the tent, the campfire had completely died out, and there was no smoke.

When Feng Huaijin came out, Yuan Jin was being supported by Fang Fang and calmly explained the situation to the demons.

"There was a demon attack just now. There's something wrong with the smoke from the campfire. It could be the wood or something else, which can make the demons feel weak and exhausted."

"Ying Lang was sitting upwind earlier, so he didn't inhale much smoke. He was fighting the three demons in the southeast direction. Yuan Wu has just led the demons to chase after them."

"Now, we should destroy the campfire, then check the other items, and stay at the camp in case of another attack."

Feng Huaijin overheard this, then casually used the black mist to swallow the campfire, leaving behind a charred mark, before heading southeast.

He remained completely silent throughout.

It's normal for her to feel a little resentful when she got up halfway through the night, even though she could have been sleeping with her brother.

Feng Huaijin thought calmly, "I'm disturbing him while he's watching his brother sleep. Once I catch the demon, maybe I should just chop him up."

Then I came back to continue spending time with my brother.

Inside the camp, Yuan Jinjia and the other demons all looked somewhat bewildered.

Did Lord Feng from the team just flash by?

Sang Tiao clicked her tongue twice: "Why are you running so fast? What's the rush?"

Fang Fang paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Haha, my two senior brothers are both the type who prefer to get things done rather than talk. The one who just went to help Commander Yuanwu."

The mercenary group's leader nodded blankly, realizing the situation.

Inside the tent, Su Yu opened her eyes the moment Feng Huaijin left, then quickly closed them again a moment later.

Twelve should be able to bring the demon back soon.

As long as there's no second wave, he can continue to get a good night's sleep.

A moment later, there was another commotion outside the tent.

"Enemy attack—!"

"There are still more!!"

Because of the silencing array, Su Yu didn't notice it at first, until a shadowy figure crashed into his tent.

The tent suddenly shook, and the tent fabric in front of Su Yu dented inward into a demonic shape before quickly collapsing to the ground outside.

Su Yu opened her eyes, her expression one of utter despair.

There really are two waves of demons.

Is it one wave after another, twelve after twelve?

It's not like we're serving meals separately.
