Chapter 192 Searching for the Abyss with Remaining Bones (Part 3)
Three days later, it was time to set off.
Apart from a few demons who did not intend to continue the mission for various reasons, most of the demons from the Mo Hai Mercenary Group were present, numbering approximately twenty.
According to Sang Tiao, these ancient demon skeletons are special and need to be carefully preserved. Her cave dwelling is covered with a special formation to ensure that they are not damaged.
Now that we need to leave the cave, the best way to preserve these remains is to place them in the sea of consciousness to nurture them, just like Yuan Wu did with the hand bones before.
She hired the Ink Sea Mercenary Group primarily to carry these skeletons.
The space of a demon's consciousness is limited, but a whole group of demons can be packed up and taken away.
Before setting off, Sang Tiao checked the list of remains one last time, comparing it with the names of the mercenaries who had already collected the remains.
Ying Lang had already examined the skeleton in the box in his mind's eye. He squatted to one side, his eyes vacant, and casually picked a wild vegetable and crushed it.
He looked into his mind and checked the skeletons in each box. He had brought a total of twenty-six boxes, and the ancient demon skeletons were all safely inside.
After all, he was the strongest under the leader, and his sea of consciousness was also vast, so he naturally carried more boxes.
A voice transmission suddenly sounded in my mind:
Ying Lang suddenly jumped up, turned his head in alarm, and met Su Yu's meaningful gaze.
Su Yu's eyes were deep, and she slowly curled the corners of her mouth at him.
Ying Lang could only discern two words that exuded a dangerous aura.
He hurriedly looked around, but there were no other demons. He was certain that Lord Su Yu was looking at him.
What did he do to offend the devil? He just helped the boss escape in Firefly City...
Ying Lang's gaze slowly fell on Feng Huaijin, who was behind Su Yu, looking down at him and patiently massaging Mo's shoulders.
Oh, and the demon who got his booklet has a bite mark on his neck. His collared shirt, which should have stood up, wasn't standing up properly, leaving the bite mark exposed.
Ying Lang understood everything instantly.
And this demon, he didn't even lift an eyelid!
Well then! Ingratitude! And shifting the blame elsewhere!
He actually went through his storage ring to find the male-male version, because he usually only reads the male-female version!
How can there be such a wicked demon in the world!
Seeing Ying Lang's pupils dizzy, Su Yu withdrew her gaze with satisfaction.
He deliberately made the sound transmission earlier to scare them.
Su Yu slapped away Feng Huaijin's hand, which was still kneading his shoulder.
This is the direct culprit who kept him bedridden for three days, and the one over there is an indirect accomplice!
Feng Huaijin dared not utter a sound, his eyes flickering. After lowering his hand, his fingertips still seemed to be intertwined, as if he wanted to hold her hand.
I got so excited that I didn't want my brother to get out of bed.
But I'd like to do it again.
Su Yu waved her hand forward, refusing his offer to hold her hand.
Feng Huaijin: ...
Switch to the other hand and keep trying.
Su Yu turned her head and gave him a light glare, then transmitted her voice:
Then she ignored him and went to Sang Tiao and Fang Fang's side to see when the inventory work would be finished.
Feng Huaijin followed immediately.
Sang Tiao had already counted down to the last person. When Su Yu came to ask, Sang Tiao casually replied, "Almost there, almost there, all done."
Fang Fang was fiddling with and examining the puppet when she saw the demon approaching. She looked up and said, "We'll be able to leave soon."
She looked up and stammered for a moment.
The reason is simple: the bite marks on Feng Huaijin's neck were too obvious.
Of course, she thoughtfully didn't say anything about it.
Before setting off, Sang Tiao didn't even take out a map to look at, nor did he plan any route. He simply activated the Bone Firefly Demon Skeleton Puppet with full confidence.
Strictly speaking, it was Fang Fang who activated it, since Sang Tiao herself hadn't awakened any ancient demon or blood demon, and her demonic energy couldn't activate this puppet.
"Crack—crack—"
After the two sounds, the puppet began to move slowly.
Lift your left leg one inch off the ground, and then continue lifting your leg at a steady pace.
The thought flashed through the minds of all the demons present, and in the silence, only Sang Tiao was full of confidence.
Just as the first step was about to land, the puppet suddenly stopped moving.
The puppet flew out in the next instant.
Fang Fang is now in the late stage of the Fusion Realm. Her puppet, which uses her demonic energy, is extremely fast and disappears in just a few breaths.
Only more than twenty demons were left standing there, caught off guard.
Sang Tiao hissed, "I forgot to test the input of demonic energy and the change in speed. I just input too much."
"Xiao Fang, you—"
Before Sang Tiao could finish speaking, Fang Fang had already grabbed her and quickly moved in the direction the puppet had left. She also said to the demons behind her, "The puppet is using my demonic energy. I can sense its location. Just follow me."
Fang Fang, as always, is still the most reliable one.
However, there is one fatal problem with this puppet that has not been taken into account.
Take only the shortest straight line between the two points.
So even if it encounters a demon dwelling, a forest, a river, or a mountain valley, it will charge headlong into it.
In these situations, it may be necessary to manually adjust the travel route.
Aside from the initial burst of speed, Fang Fang gradually controlled the amount of demonic energy inputted, and the puppet's speed gradually returned to normal, guiding the way at a steady pace.
After a month of travel, Su Yu asked Sang Tiao, who had received instructions from the Demon Abyss, "Didn't they say that the Demon Abyss is everywhere?"
It seems so far now, it hasn't even been a month.
Sang Tiao knew it as expected. She waved her hand and said, "This refers to the demonic energy emanating from the Demon Abyss. Although the Demon Abyss should have other exits, Xiao Ying went to the place where she walked out of the Demon Abyss back then."
Xiao Ying is the name Sang Tiao gave to the Bone Firefly Demon Puppet.
So even if they did pass by a certain entrance to the Demon Abyss, Xiao Ying wouldn't go there. If Xiao Ying didn't go there, these demons probably wouldn't recognize it as the Demon Abyss.
It's better to just follow Xiaoying.
Now, they followed the puppet into an unknown forest filled with poisonous gas, while rain poured down from the sky.
Due to the influence of various toxic organisms within the poisonous forest, rainwater in this area has a dizzying and corrosive effect.
The Mo Hai Mercenary Group skillfully arranged the rotation, with members taking turns to hold up the demonic energy barrier to shield against the poisonous rain, and nothing unexpected happened under the rain.
To prevent the puppet from being damaged, Sang Tiao tied a rope to its arm to limit its speed, keeping the puppet under the protection of the demonic energy barrier.
The other end of the rope was held by Fang Fang.
Su Yu and Feng Huaijin followed along the side of the procession, sometimes staying close to the group and sometimes breaking away to find a demon settlement to take a bath and have a proper meal.
The rain was too heavy, and it took a long time and a lot of energy to maintain the demonic energy barrier. Under the rain curtain, the group of demons quietly focused on their journey until it got dark, when they finally found a high place to set up camp and rest.
They had never been to this poisonous forest before, and the demons were more vigilant on their first night, not planning to travel at night.
As they were setting up camp, Yuanwu was arranging the night watch schedule for his regiment.
Sang Tiao and Fang Fang are legitimate employers, while Su Yu and Feng Huaijin are unofficial demons who only follow along. Therefore, Yuan Wu doesn't consider them and only cares about the demons in his own group.
"Brother, I need to talk to you about something." Yuan Jin entered the tent, placed a bag of her treasured dried meat on the table, and sincerely stated her request, "Tonight I need to keep watch with Ying Lang, so please use your power to do me a favor."
Yuan Wu: "...I'll think about it. You go back first."
Yuan Jin said "Oh," grabbed the bag of dried meat, and left.
Yuanwu watched her leave, then looked down at the duty roster and realized he really needed to think about it, no, to give it serious consideration.
Although it's not appropriate for a lone man and woman to be alone on a dark and windy night, the demon race doesn't care about such things. Usually, those who take advantage of others are all gold, so she'd probably be even happier if she actually succeeded.
Even if Yuan Jin succeeds, he might lose interest in Ying Lang and then look for the next target.
...Doing this would seem a bit unfair to his brother Ying Lang.
"Boss, I need to talk to you about something."
Just as Yuanwu was deep in thought, Yinglang called out from outside the tent.
