"Senior! Since we are both determined to slay demons, why not travel together?"
Lin Che took the initiative to suggest it, and given his formidable combat strength and connection to the Eight Gates of the Divine Palace, Lai Jian would likely not refuse.
Sure enough, Lai Jian was overjoyed and took two steps forward: "Brother Lin, we would be more than happy to help you. To tell you the truth, we are here to find a great demon. As long as we kill this great demon, we will definitely be qualified to join the Eight Gates of the Divine Palace."
Lin Che became even more interested; that was a powerful demon!
How much killing intent would that require?
There must be lesser demons accompanying the great demon. We must travel with them.
"In that case, let's set off as soon as possible. The sooner we kill the great demon, the sooner the human race can escape this predicament!"
After they agreed, Lin Che said to Big Elbow, "We're going to kill a great demon now, so you'll stay by my side. I can teach you some cultivation methods."
Wang Teng hesitated for a moment: "But if I follow you, won't I be holding you back? There should still be people alive in my village, and I need to go find them."
Lin Che quickly said, "Now we're going to slay the great demon. You have superhuman strength, and we need your help. Those demons killed your family; don't you want revenge?"
"I want revenge!"
"That's good. Follow me, let's go slay demons and monsters!"
“Okay! I’ll go with you!” Wang Teng immediately agreed.
That big pork knuckle, in later generations, injured his head and made him an idiot. But now, even though it didn't injure his head, it doesn't seem to be very intelligent.
After waiting for half a day, Lin Che was cleaning up the battlefield when the warriors who had chased them from the city finally arrived.
Lin Che joined them, and apart from Big Elbow, all the other captured humans were handed over to them.
And so, Lin Che, carrying the large pork knuckle, set off with Lai Jian and his group.
Lai Jian and his group were carrying a map, and they didn't deviate from the route along the way.
They flew for seven days and seven nights before finally landing among a mountain peak. According to Lin Che's judgment, they had now entered the territory of Da Gan.
"A discovery—there's a village at the foot of the mountain ahead, which was massacred by the demon race." A middle-aged man returned from an investigation with astonishing news.
"There might still be survivors. Quick, let's search carefully right away." Lai Jian directed the group, and they immediately flew down to the village to begin the search.
Lin Che didn't move. It wasn't that he was cold-blooded; rather, his spiritual sense had already discovered the village and found no survivors. However, the bloodstains indicated that a powerful demon had indeed been there.
"Hero Lin Che, shall we go and search for him?" Wang Teng asked.
“They’ve found enough. And… you, Lin Che, that’s a bit unfamiliar to me. Let’s use a different form of address.” Lin Che’s feelings for Da Zhouzi were far from those of a stranger he’d only met a few days ago.
Wang Teng thought for a moment and said, "Then should I call you Master? You've been teaching me cultivation these past few days, and you've even worked so hard to carry me in flight..."
"Master, that's not good either. Let's just call him Boss!"
"Big brother? Hmm! Good. In our village, the big brother is the most important elder brother. You've taught me so much, you're even better to me than my own elder brother. Hehe, big brother!" Although Wang Teng was a bit clumsy, he understood that Lin Che was doing this for his own good, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.
Just as Lin Che was thinking about continuing to teach Da Zhouzi how to cultivate, he suddenly saw the veiled woman return through the air.
Lin Che had long wanted to extract some useful information from her, but in the past few days he only knew her name and had not had a chance to spend time alone with her.
He simply walked over and asked, "Miss Danqiu, have you found anything?"
Danqiu glanced at Lin Che and bowed, saying, "Reporting to Senior, we didn't find much. The great demon had already retreated after massacring the village. If I'm not mistaken, that was probably five or six days ago."
Lin Che said regretfully, "It seems we're a step too late."
"I've witnessed countless villages being massacred along the way. But this time, we're finally getting close to that great demon. Starting tonight, we'll slow down our pace, traveling during the day and resting at night. I have one more request..."
"Oh, please go ahead!"
Danqiu said in a low voice, "During this period of travel, more than half of our companions have actually exhausted their true energy. Only you can fly easily with one person. So, I was thinking that we need someone to keep watch while everyone rests at night. If Senior Lin Che can help, that would be great. Don't worry, I can keep watch until 3 AM. You can take over from me then."
Lin Che looked at the sky; it was the hour of Yin, which was three in the morning.
But how do these people determine the time?
For so many days now, everyone has been looking up at the sky to roughly judge the time, and several times they've even debated what time it is.
"No problem. But how do you determine when it's the Yin hour? Don't you have a clock?"
"A clock? What's that?"
Lin Che frowned. This didn't make sense.
When he first transmigrated here, he knew that Da Gan had a huge clock, a 24-hour clock with various quarter-hour and second-by-second settings.
"Wait a minute! I'm going to make a clock."
Lin Che didn't care about anything else and directly purchased the "clock development blueprints" from the system store.
In an instant, the most detailed clock-making process appeared in his mind.
Lin Che retrieved a number of weapons from a sealed beast bone, all of which he had obtained while cleaning up the battlefield. He then sealed them up and carried them with him.
Now that he had the materials, he stretched out his hand and a ball of flame burst forth. He began to temper weapons and create the springs needed for clocks.
