Chapter 151 Battle Against the Night Demon
The five reached an agreement, and Chen Leying accepted the task.
Unlike the mission to kill the Night Demon's clone, this mission directly provides the Night Demon's location.
A small map appeared in front of the five people at the same time, with a dot of light marking the location of the Night Demon, which was deep in the forest.
The group immediately headed in the direction marked on the map.
Strangely, with each step they took forward, the Night Demon on the map would move one step closer into the depths of the forest.
After walking for three minutes, the group's position and that of the Night Demon remained unchanged.
Lu Cheng said he didn't understand: "What does this mean? Does Night Demon know we accepted the mission and is deliberately avoiding us?"
Qin Jiu disagreed: "It's just a monster, how could it know that we accepted a mission?"
Lu Cheng: "Maybe it's the monster's innate intuition for danger? It instinctively sensed the danger, so with every step we took forward, it moved one step further away from the danger."
Qin Jiu was surprised that he could justify himself and was speechless for a moment.
Meng Qingyin, however, suddenly remembered something after listening to Lu Cheng's "theory of intuition".
Perhaps it's because of the baby.
Since the baby appeared, she has not encountered a single Night Demon around her vehicle.
That time in the mine, no Night Demon appeared at night.
It was the aura of the cub as a ferocious beast that intimidated the night demons, preventing them from approaching.
As for why the Night Demon clone wasn't intimidated by the little one...
Meng Qingyin guessed that the Night Demon clones might not be as powerful as the Night Demon, and therefore couldn't sense the cub's dangerous aura.
To put it more simply, low-level henchmen are not qualified to know the gang leader.
Those who have had the privilege of witnessing the methods of a gang leader must be influential figures.
Just like the goblins before, they couldn't sense the little one's aura because their strengths were vastly different.
This explains why the Night Demon is afraid of the cub.
but……
Although the cub has grown quite a bit, it is still a cub after all. Even with the natural aura of a ferocious beast, it would probably not fare well against the Night Demon.
And the most crucial question now is, how do they find the Night Demon, who keeps escaping from the cubs?
We can't just leave the baby here, can we?
Meng Qingyin would never abandon her child.
Seeing that she had stopped, Lu Cheng asked with concern, "Boss, do you have a plan?"
“No,” Meng Qingyin shook her head, “Do you have any methods to conceal the scent of animals?”
Lu Cheng asked in bewilderment, "Hide your aura? Whose aura are you trying to hide?"
Qin Jiu was speechless: "Who else? Of course, it's Zai Zai."
Lu Cheng was even more puzzled: "Why hide its aura?"
Qin Jiu was exasperated: "Are you a walking encyclopedia of questions? Is this the time to ask whys? When the big shot asks if you have a solution, you just need to answer yes or no."
Lu Cheng answered decisively: "No."
Being an unlucky person, I was afraid the war would spread to me, so I quickly said, "I don't have any either!"
Meng Qingyin lowered her eyes in thought.
If it really doesn't work, let the four of them go, and I'll stay here with the baby...
Suddenly, Lu Cheng remembered something: "That's right, I have something that might be able to cover up Zai Zai's scent!"
Amid the puzzled gazes of the four, Lu Cheng carefully took out a pickle jar from his system inventory.
The jar, which was a dull gray color, was covered with a matching dull gray lid. The crack between the lid and the jar was sealed with several layers of tape.
"What is this?" Qin Jiu frowned. "Pickled vegetables?"
Lu Cheng chuckled, "My homemade stinky tofu eggs."
As he spoke, he twisted his delicate fingers and tore open the tape.
A foul stench immediately wafted out from the crack, and the four people took a few steps back in unison, covering their noses in unison.
Meng Qingyin was almost nauseated by the stench and covered her nose, asking, "What are you doing with this?"
Lu Cheng wasn't much better off, as if he were wearing a mask of pain: "Since there's no way to hide the baby's scent, why not just cover it up with an even more stinky smell?"
I, an unlucky person, was so disgusted by the stench that I cried and cried. "Dude, your move is probably going to kill a thousand enemies but hurt ten thousand of your own."
It's true that the stench can mask the baby's scent, but all five of them will definitely be poisoned!
Even if they weren't poisoned, the stench was making them dizzy and disoriented. How could they possibly fight later?
Lu Cheng is a real genius for coming up with such a terrible idea.
Even the usually composed Chen Leying spoke up: "Quickly put away that piece of junk you're using!"
Lu Cheng was very reluctant, "It's not that smelly, okay... After all, I made it with great care, and it hurts my feelings that you all dislike it so much."
He then changed the subject, saying, "However, if you really find the smell too unpleasant, I have a solution."
He put the jar on the ground and started rummaging through his system inventory again.
A short while later, he pulled out five air-filtering masks. "Wearing these, you can barely smell the stench."
People only disliked the smell; if they really couldn't smell it anymore, this method of masking their odor with a foul smell was quite effective.
The four of them took the air-filtering masks from him and put them on, only then did they feel that they could breathe easily.
I, an unlucky person, punched him and said, "You're not being fair by not bringing out such a good item."
Feeling guilty, Lu Cheng changed the subject: "Let's go, let's go, Night Demon is still waiting for us."
The group headed towards the Night Demon, and this time, the Night Demon on the map indeed did not move.
Lu Cheng smiled, revealing a set of bright white teeth.
The group remained silent until they finally arrived at a point less than a hundred meters from the Night Demon.
As they drew closer, tension inevitably rose in everyone's hearts.
After all, it is the Night Demon and should not be underestimated.
After walking another fifty meters, the group saw the real Night Demon, whose strength had not been diminished.
The Night Demon lay curled up on the ground, seemingly resting.
Even so, its length reached an astonishing five or six meters.
If it stood up, it would probably be eight or nine meters tall.
Those claws were like long knives, so sharp that they seemed capable of tearing a person in two with a single, gentle grab.
Its fangs are sharp and long, making them awe-inspiring.
Upon seeing the Night Demon in this state, the five men's expressions all turned serious.
It looks like it's going to be a fierce battle.
Before they arrived, everyone had already discussed the battle plan. Lu Cheng used a slingshot to shoot pear blossom needles into the Night Demon's eyes to restrain its movements.
Chen Leying and Qin Jiu seized the opportunity to inflict wounds on the Night Demon.
Meng Qingyin used an electric baton to deliver the fatal blow.
As for me, I'm an unlucky person, a little kid, and a snow child. I'm part of the mobile force, and I'll help wherever I'm needed.
Just as planned, Lu Cheng held his breath and focused intently, driving the pear blossom needle precisely into the Night Demon's left eye.
Even though I'm unlucky, I still managed to give a bonus when no one was looking.
but……
The Night Demon noticed the Pear Blossom Needle. At the crucial moment, it closed its eyes, and the needle struck its eyelid, leaving a light red mark before falling to the ground.
It did not cause any actual damage to the Night Demon.
Everyone suddenly felt the pressure increase.
The Night Demon's defense is too high; the Pear Blossom Needles can't even hurt it!
