Chapter 194 Searching for the Abyss with Remaining Bones (Part 5)

Knowing what was happening outside, Su Yu could no longer sleep peacefully.

He turned and went outside, where a fierce fight was already taking place.

There were only about seven or eight masked black-clad demons. They were already at a disadvantage and were fighting and retreating. One of them, who had sharp eyes, saw a demon coming out of the tent and immediately shouted, "Retreat!"

As soon as the words were spoken, none of the demons lingered in battle; they immediately activated the teleportation talisman that had been affixed to their palms from the beginning.

Their average strength was slightly better than the remaining mercenaries, and even though they were at a disadvantage due to their smaller numbers, it wouldn't be difficult for them to escape using teleportation talismans.

One by one, the masked black-clad demons disengaged from the battle, disappearing from sight after a brief spatial ripple.

But as they activated the teleportation talisman, Su Yu narrowed her eyes, remaining motionless, her dark purple pupils meeting those of the demon who had just shouted.

The demon stood rooted to the spot, its eyes meeting the pair of purple pupils with a look of fear in them.

His companions who were near him were shocked. Some tried to pull him away with them through the teleportation talisman, but they were too far off. Before their fingertips could even touch a piece of clothing, they were teleported away.

Besides him, another demon was also left behind. He was kicked away by his opponent when he was activating the teleportation talisman and didn't have time to leave.

Having regained his strength after taking the antidote, Yuan Jin ordered the mercenary group members to tie up the remaining two demons and take them away for interrogation.

Sang Tiao went along too, and she was really uneasy, wondering how these demons had targeted them.

She thought to herself, she was just hiring a demon to deliver bones, she hadn't offended anyone.

Fang Fang slowly walked over to Su Yu, her eyes lowered in thought: "Senior Brother, did you not intend to keep them all here?"

With Su Yu's current cultivation level, it wouldn't be impossible for him to leave all the demons behind before the teleportation talisman was activated. There's no reason to let the enemy demons go for no reason.

“Yes, just leave one or two,” Su Yu replied, slowly explaining, “That demon shouted to retreat as soon as I came out, probably because he already knew they couldn’t win. But judging from their expressions, they probably didn’t recognize me, more like they knew…”

He turned to the side and pointed to the tent behind him: "The demons living in this tent are too much for us to handle."

Moreover, these demons didn't seem to intend to defeat the remaining forces in this camp at all, nor did they steal anything; they simply attacked and ran.

The purpose seems more like a feint or a delaying tactic.

However, these tents were all set up by the demons together at dusk, with the demons helping each other and not just setting up their own tents.

Before setting up the camp, the surrounding area had been inspected by all the demons, who performed routine operations such as driving away insects and beasts and spreading beast-repelling powder to ensure that there were no traces of these demons monitoring the area.

"How do you think they knew?"

“There’s a mole.” Fang Fang nodded knowingly. “These demons we let go will probably contact their accomplices. If we’re lucky, we can catch them all in one fell swoop.”

“Yes,” Su Yu’s eyes showed a hint of a smile, then after a moment she looked into the dark, poisonous forest and suddenly said, “They’re coming back.”

Feng Huaijin always carried the jade pendant with him, so Su Yu naturally knew as soon as he started walking back.

Fang Fang thought for a moment and gave some advice to her senior who was experiencing his first relationship.

Jade pendants are easy to lose, so it's not advisable to carry them with you when you go to bed; at most, you can only put them in a storage ring.

However, by separating a wisp of one's demonic energy and materializing it into a personal accessory, one can not only sense the location but also perceive the other party's various physiological reactions, such as breathing and heart rate.

The wisp of demonic energy that was separated can still be controlled, and it can be used remotely to shield the wearer from injury when necessary.

It's probably like an unconscious clone.

Fang Fang explained it in a very serious manner.

However, Su Yu was greatly shocked.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I have never heard of this technique before."

“Senior brother, there’s no need to worry,” Fang Fang said calmly, “This is a technique brought about by my bloodline talent. I’ve already used it on Hua Min. The vine bracelet Xiao Lü that he’s wearing is a manifestation of my demonic energy.”

A subtle smile played on her lips: "It will take a while for Second Senior Brother and the others to return. If Eldest Senior Brother is interested, I can take this opportunity to teach him this technique."

Su Yu remained calm and composed, but was slightly distracted: "..."

Although, since Junior Sister Fang Fang said it so matter-of-factly, doesn't that mean that this kind of thing is still quite normal in the Demon Realm?

Fang Fang: "Senior Brother?"

Su Yu turned his head to cover his burning ears with strands of hair, feeling that they were probably red: "...I'll learn."

Fang Fang smiled and led Su Yu aside to teach her magic.

Within a few quarters of an hour, Su Yu learned a new technique from Fang Fang, and Feng Huaijin and the many mercenaries who had chased after them emerged from the woods, their bodies radiating menacing aura, and returned to their camp.

Ying Lang was carried on the back of a mercenary. He was covered in blood, his face was pale, and his eyes were tightly closed. He looked badly injured.

The three demons also fainted, but since they were captured enemy demons, they weren't carried around. Instead, they were tied up by members of the mercenary group and dragged back at will.

Upon seeing this, the remaining demons stepped forward to take the wounded and prisoners, taking them to different tents, some for treatment, others for imprisonment and interrogation.

Yuan Wu and Yuan Jin went inside the tent to exchange information.

As Feng Huaijin stepped into the camp, the first thing he saw was Su Yu standing outside the tent, looking down and lost in thought.

As luck would have it, Su Yu had just finished being taught the essentials of the new spell by Fang Fang when he sensed that Feng Huaijin's jade pendant was approaching the camp, so he simply went to wait in front of the tent.

But it would take some time for the demon to arrive, and Su Yu's mind began to wander uncontrollably, trying to recall the key points and effects of the new spell.

There is only one necessary prerequisite for performing this spell: the souls of both parties must be in harmony.

According to Fang Fang, this technique was developed by a former succubus who had too many romantic entanglements and finally settled down to make a guarantee for the last true love demon.

The gist is that all the previous relationships were just casual physical play, but ours is true love where we connect on a spiritual level and share heartbeats.

Therefore, this spell can only be used once in a lifetime. After teaching the spell, Fang Fang specifically reminded him to think carefully before using it.

...The demon realm really knows how to play tricks; their methods of expressing loyalty are exceptionally novel.

"What are you thinking about, brother?"

A gentle voice came from in front of her, immediately pulling Su Yu back from her wandering thoughts.

Su Yu looked up: "..."

Feng Huaijin was a little confused and worried: "Brother?"

Su Yu tried to build up her thoughts: "...I miss you."

Feng Huaijin's ears turned red instantly: "Yes, really? I miss you too, brother. Those troublemakers ran a bit far away, otherwise I could have come back sooner. By the way, were you woken up by noise? Maybe next time I'll add a few more silencing arrays, that should be better."

Although his ears turned red, Su Yu no longer believed his feigned innocence.

Which truly innocent person would be like him, who would want to break the bed and enjoy playing imprisonment games while subtly whispering burning words?

This guy probably needs to add the word "want" after "think" when he says it.

"No need for that," Su Yu politely declined. How could he possibly sleep if something really happened?

He mentally prepared himself again, but found it hard to say it directly. So he simply grabbed Feng Shier's hand and pulled him into the tent, intending to bind the materialized demonic energy to the demon through his actions.

"Come with me, I need to talk to you."
